(synonym) Ull
(hypernym) Norse deity
(classification) Norse mythology

Ullr (Icelandic) Ull (Swedish) Also Uller. In the Norse Edda, one of the twelve aesir (gods), the son of Sif and stepson of Thor, said to excel at archery and skiing. He is the patron of hunting and the shield, which is also called the ship of Ullr.
The shield or protection of Ullr has a special meaning as he is the god of a "cold" (unformed) world: one of the most highly spiritual of the globes in our sun's realm. The lay called Grimnismal promises that "the blessing of Ull and all the gods is his who first touches the fire" of this supernal sphere. The mansion of Ullr is named Ydalar -- the primal dells of rain and storms, and the root and sacred source of earth's existence.
