    Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m from Lincolnshire in England… part of what was “DANELAW” in England at one time. To this day in the small town of Gainsborough we go to see the tidal bore at spring, it pushes the water from the ocean up river and changes the flow direction of the river. We have a special name for this locally: The AEGIR !!!m

    @Anna Bridgland - Folklore, Mythology & Fairy Tales >>> FWIW: It is probably coincidence, but I wonder if the *_'nine_*_ daughhters'_ thing was a partial inspiration for the nine-member _"Minbari Grey Council"_ from J. Michael Straczinski's science fiction TV show, *BABYLON 5.*

    Didn’t Ægir also have a son named Snær the personification of snow?

    The idea of being swept up in Rán's net is pretty scary, ngl

    Just another thing to add to the list of ocean-related fears 😅

    My accent has changed a lot since living outside of Australia for so long! I also have different recording equipment which makes a big difference :)
