| | Nerthus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | If so, Nerthus may have been the sister of Njord and the mother of his children, Freyr and Freya, who also had a sexual relationship according Loki in Lokasenna. | | | The same is true for the male god Ullr (menaing glory or radiance), who is likely one of the Van like Njord, and also for the giantess Skaði, the consort of Njord. | | | It is not unlikely then that Freyr and Freya are the mythological descendants to Nerthus and her male counterpart, while the root in the name Nerthus was shifted to their father. |
