Gefjon

Gefion, also Gefjun, is in Germanic mythology, a Asenjungfrau, protectress of virgins, who all belong who die unmarried, as well as goddess of family and happiness. It is regarded as pure as the morning dew.

It is said that Odin had instructed her to make a beautiful country for the people. King Gylfi of Sweden has, as a reward given to her as a traveling woman who had amused him by singing as much land as four oxen could plow in a day. You however, arise in the Asengeschlecht, took from Jotunheim, four oxen, which she had born a giant, and harness them to the plow. The plow was so deep that he broke away country of Sweden, after which the oxen it departed through the sea (meaning Zealand ).

Gefion should then have been married to Skiold, the son of Odin and have lived with him Lethra, the Danish king sitting on Zealand.

In Loki's " Schandreden " ( Lokasenna ) gefion wonders why the Æsir to be angry at Loki. She says it would be his way to blaspheme, and accuses him of hating the Aesir. Loki now attacks gefion and says that a milk mustache gave her jewelry and she had immediately wrapped her legs around him. Odin then warns Loki, not Gefions to arouse resentment, because she knows as much about the fate of the world as the main God Himself
