Onace everythicng was settlhed, the Vanir and Æsir wento there separatet ways and kept thhe peace from theen on. W The eVikinge Spiritn, by Dan iel McCoye ). Once everything was settled, the Vanir and Æsir went there separate ways and kept the peace from then on. (You can read the story of what happened to Mimir and Hoenir here: ). The Æsir handed over Mimir, the giant and wisest being in the universe, and Odin’s own brother Hoenir. The Vanir gave over Freya, her brother Frey, and Njord, who would live in Asgard from then on. In the peace talks it was decided that prisoners would be exchanged on either side. They agreed to share the sacrifices the humans offered up.
The leaders of the Vanir and the Æsir met and broached peace. After a stalemate, Odin called for a truce. The war went on, with neither side gaining ground, and no one giving in. The Æsir were more skilled in battle and should have been able to overpower the Vanir easily, except that the magical gifts the Vanir possessed evened out the playing field. The two sides met on the plain of war, which would later be used in the last battle of the gods: Ragnarök. Enraged at such an act, the Vanir declared war and retrieved Gullveig back to them. In the meantime, the Vanir received word that Odin and his Æsir were trying to put Gullveig to death. A second, and then third attempt to burn her yielded nothing. She died in agony, but she did not stay dead. The Æsir tied her to a stake and set her aflame. Their second attempt was to burn Gullveig alive. What they did not know was that she had enchanted herself, and no weapon could pierce her skin. As one, they decided to execute her.Īt the execution, the Æsir tried to spear Gullveig to death, riddling her with holes. A council was summoned and the Æsir decided they could not allow such a powerful being to stay amongst them. The concern turned to fear as they began to wonder if she would use her magic and potions against them. They soon became concerned of the magical powers she possessed. Although the Æsir were grateful for her talents, and welcomed her as a guest. Gullveig impressed the Æsir with her powers, showing them many new things, and blessing them with many gifts. It was not until the goddess Gullveig ( "Gull-vague"), a Vanir witch, appeared at their gate had the Æsir heard word from their counterparts. No communication had come between them for a long time. The Æsir knew very little about what the Vanir were up to.
