Welcome to Heimdallgarth. This Group is dedicated to all followers of the enigmatic and heroic Northern God Heimdall.

Heimdall is the god of light, the son of nine mothers (variously given as the daughters of Geirrendour the Giant or of Aegir). He was born at the end of the world and raised by the force of the earth, seawater and the blood of a boar. Because of his shining, golden teeth he is also called Gullintani ("gold tooth"). His hall is Himinbjorg, The Cliffs of Heaven, and his horse is Gulltop. Heimdall carries the horn Gjallar.

He is the watchman of the gods and guards Bifrost, the only entrance to Asgard, the realm of the gods. It is Heimdall's duty to prevent the giants from forcing their way into Asgard. He requires less sleep than a bird and can see a hundred miles around him, by night as well as by day. His hearing is so accurate that no sound escapes him: he can even hear the grass grow or the wool on a sheep's back. At the final conflict of Ragnarok he will kill his age-old enemy, the evil god Loki, but will die himself from his wounds.

As the god Rig ("ruler"), Heimdall created the three races of mankind: the serfs, the peasants, and the warriors. It is interesting to note why Heimdall fathered them, and not Odin as might be expected. Furthermore, Heimdall is in many attributes identical with Tyr.

Remember that this is a friendly and honourable garth for all folks who wish to honour Heimdall or exchange ideas with other like minded folks about him. Please feel free to discuss as strongly as you wish on all matters surrounding RigHeimdall, his lore, exploits, courage or ways of honouring him and any other related matter.

Heimdall is also the father of the races of men and the teacher of runes to mankind. Debate is encouraged in these areas also.

However as honourable folk you are requested to refrain from personal insults, racist remarks, threats or any other anti social behaviour to other kinfolk on this group.

Happy to meet you all
