In the beginning there was a void, a big gap of darkness, filled with the primal forces of creation. The heat of Muspel and the ice of Nifel made the essence of life come forth from the void. The first living being, The Giant Ymer, was born out of darkness and he is the ancestor of the creatures of the universe. The world was formed from his slaughtered body. Ginnungagap is the black hole from which everything came out and into which everything will return in the end.

Ymer is born, fire and ice
Chaos will form, Megin will rise
Fader Ymer drack fran urkon
En strom av mjolk som gav oss liv.
Oppna gapet i ryndend mitt
Floda av blod fran Ymers kropt
Varldar skapas utav hans kott
Nio (till) antal pa Yggorasil.
Ymers gap - Ymers runa
Ymers ond - Ymers urlag
