Jacob and Nick jump back into the world of Norse mythology with the Prose Edda. Last time, we saw the birth of Odin and his brothers Vili and Ve into the expanse of Ginnungagap. While the empty void is fine for primordial cows and large frost giants, there isn't a lot to do that would interest three young godling brothers. Learn how the brothers passed their time in Ginnungagap by doing some arts and crafts projects with only a bit of bloodshed.
