Ullr: God of Snow
Legend of the
Winter King
Throngs burn boards for him. Ski freaks exalt him. Resorts name hotels after
him. He is Ullr, and for many skiers he is the god of all things deep and
white. But few know the history of this snowbound deity. A figure who first
appears in early Norwegian folklore, his place as the Great Spirit of All
Ski Bums is nothing short of intriguing. To help further your following or
explain why some chant his elk-call name at the top of their local stash,
here is a quick fact list on the almighty Ullr (pronounced Ooo-llarrr):
The Northern European god Ullr (aka Wuldor, Wulthur, Uller, Ullin,
Holler, Vulder and Ull) is a god of the pantheon of the Aesir and Vanir, a
pre-Viking-era mythology revered first by Vikings, Goths, Saxons, and ancient
Britons.
Ullr has also been called the Shifter of the Northern Lights, the Great
Hunter, the Silent One, and the Holder of the Oath Ring
Ullr, which translated means "glorious" or "dazzling", is known foremost as
master of the skis and the bow. His legend speaks of an unmatchable prowess for
hunting and traveling speedily across snow. He is also known as a master of the
duel and, hark, a ladies' man (a trait likely inherited from his mother, Sif,
the Goddess of Fertility).
Throughout much of Northern Europe, from Britain to Germany to Scandinavia,
Ullr's legend is well fortified in local lore, specifically as the King of
Winter. Ullr's moniker is used commonly in Northern European place names, and is
included in many stories that extend beyond Norse mythology.
Ullr's travels, in the Ship of Ullr made of bone, were mentioned in the
eighth century epic poem "Beowulf."
