Tiara

The posted links are a couple of explanations of the subject of my Tiara. The Ginnungagap is the 'Yawning emptiness". It stood between the lands of fire and ice. The warm air of the south meeting the cold of the north melted the ice and the drops formed YMIR the frost giant and AUDHUMLA the primeval cow.when licking the ice Audhumla discovered BURI. Buri had 3 grandsons,ODIN VILI AND VE. They killed Ymir and took his body to the center of Ginnungagap. There they made Midgard or the world of men. Ymirs flesh became the earth,his bones the mountains and his teeth rocks and stones.His hair became the trees and his blood the lakes and seas.His skull formed the sky with 4 dwarfs Nordi sudri austri and westri holding up the corners.( The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Mythology)
