The SONS of BOR (son of the god BURE, who was freed from the blocks of ice, by the enormous cow) called the EARTH, "Mid-gard," but the EARTH (Mid-gard) was a DREADFUL PLACE with GREAT SEAS of BLOOD from the GIANT (Ymir)' s WOUNDS and ALTHOUGH TREES and
GRASS GREW there, THERE WERE NO MEN.
The SONS of BOR (Wotan, Hoenir, and Loki) then CREATED a MAN and a WOMAN FROM
TWO TREES that GREW ALONG one of the BEACHES.
WOTAN TURNED them into HUMANS and BLEW LIFE INTO THEM.
HOENIR GAVE THEM their SENSE and REASON.
LOKI GAVE THEM their SHAPE, HEARING, SIGHT, and SPEECH.
The MAN was CALLED "Ask" and the WOMAN was called "Embla," and FROM THESE TWO the WHOLE PEOPLE are DESCENDED.
WOTAN took "Ask" and "Embla" and SHOWED them the EARTH (Mid-gard).
The SONS of BOR (Wotan, Hoenir, and Loki) told them : "THIS IS YOUR LAND." "HERE YOU
WILL LACK FOR NOTHING, YOU WILL FIND ALL YOU NEED TO EAT AND DRINK,
BE HAPPY AND PROSPER."
The CENTURIES PASSED and THE CHILDREN OF ASK and EMBLA multiplied throughout the EARTH (the land of Mid-gard).
The SONS of BOR (son of the god BURE, who was freed from the blocks of ice, by the enormous cow) had MARRIED too, and WOTAN, the father of them all, had taken the daughter of the GOD
FJ-YOR-GYNN. Her name was FREY-JA. They HAD MANY CHILDREN. Their FIRST-BORN
SON ruled as KING. His name was THOR.
The GODS dwelt in AS-GARD at the CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE (Gin-nun-ga-gap, the name of an enormous ravine). in a magnificent PALACE called VALH-ALLA.
