In Norse mythology, Hvergelmir (Old Norse "bubbling bubble") is the main spring. Hvergelmir is proved in the Poetic Edda , composed in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and Prose Edda , written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In Poetic Edda , Hvergelmir is mentioned in a single stanza, which specifies that it is the location where the fluid from the horns of the flow of EikÃÆ'¾yrnir the deer, and that spring, "from which all water rises", is the source of many river. The Prose Edda repeats this information and adds that the spring is located in Niflheim, that it is one of three main springs in the main root of the Yggdrasil cosmic tree (the other two are UrÃÆ' Â ° arbrunnr and MÃÆ'misbrunnr), and that in spring is a large number of snakes and dragons NÃÆ'ÃÆ'Â ° hÃÆ'¶ggr.

Hvergelmir is proved in the following works:

Poetic Edda

Hvergelmir receives a single mention in Edda poetry , found in the poem GrÃÆ'mnismÃÆ'¡l :

This verse is followed by three stanzas which consist primarily of the names of 42 rivers. Some of these rivers lead to the abode of the gods (such as GÃÆ'¶mul and Geirvimul), while at least two (GjÃÆ'¶ll and Leipt), reach Hel.

Prose Edda

Hvergelmir is mentioned several times in Prose Edda . In Justin-as-High explains that Hvergelmir spring lies in the misty nature of Niflheim: "It was centuries before the earth was created that Niflheim was made, and in its center lies a spring called Hvergelmir, and from there flowing rivers called Svol, Gunnthra, Fiorm, Fimbulthul, Slidr and Hrid, Sylg and Ylg, Vid, Leiptr; Gioll is next to the gates of Hell. "

Then at Gylfaginning , Just-as-High describes the Yggdrasil center tree. Just-as-High says that three tree roots support him and "extend very, very far" and that the third of these three roots extends over Niflheim. Under this root, the word Just-as-High, is the spring of Hvergelmir, and the root of the root is gnawed by dragons NÃÆ'ÃÆ'Â ° hÃÆ'¶ggr. In addition, High said that Hvergelmir not only contains NÃÆ'ÃÆ'Â ° hÃÆ'¶ggr but also many snakes that "no tongue can mention it".

Spring is mentioned the third time at Gylfaginning where High tells the source: EikÃÆ'¾yrnir deer stands over the hall of the afterlife Valhalla feeds the Yggdrasil branch, and from the horns of deer drips large amounts of liquid into Hvergelmir. High count of 26 rivers here.

Hvergelmir was mentioned last time at Prose Edda where the Third discussed the discomfort of NÃÆ'¡strÃÆ'¶nd. The third notes of Hvergelmir have not been worse than the poisonous NÃÆ'¡strÃÆ'¶nd because - by quoting parts of a stanza of poetry Edda poet VÃÆ'¶luspÃÆ'¡ - "There is a Nidhogg torture dead bodies ".
