I've been researching deeper into Nordic myths. I want my personal archetype Goddess to come from the same people as I do. Not just a symbol of the greater truth, but a symbol of MY greater truth, ethics, values.

So first comes conception and birth.

I'm attracted to Ginnungagap - 'wide open gap' - the huge void before the world began. It was located between Nifilheim (the world of mist, ice, fog) and Muspelheim (a place of fire, flame, sparks).

I'm seeing the great birthing cunt of Mother Earth, from which all life springs. She is the gap. She is the void, the nothing before something.

I'll be thinking on it all and researching Ginnungagap.
