Gullveig
In Norse mythology, Gullveig is a being who was speared by the Æsir, burnt three times, and yet thrice reborn. Upon her third rebirth, Gullveig's name becomes Heiðr and she is described as a knowledgeable and skillful völva. Gullveig/Heiðr is solely attested in the ''Poetic Edda'', compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional material. Scholars have variously proposed that Gullveig/Heiðr is the same figure as the goddess Freyja, that Gullveig's death may have been connected to corruption by way of gold among the Æsir, and/or that Gullveig's treatment by the Æsir may have led to the Æsir-Vanir War.
==Etymology==
The etymology of the Old Norse name ''Gullveig'' is problematic. The first element, ''Gull-'', means "gold", yet the second element, ''veig'', is murky (a situation shared with the Old Norse personal names ''Rannveig'', ''Sölveig'', and ''Thórveig''). ''Veig'' may sometimes mean "alcoholic drink", "power, strength", and sometimes also "gold". The name ''Heiðr'' (Old Norse "fame", in adjective form "bright, clear") is semantically related; scholar Rudolf Simek comments that although Gullveig's name changes to ''Heiðr'', the meaning still remains basically the same.〔Simek (2007:123—124).〕 ''Heiðr'' is sometimes anglicized as Heith, Heid, or Heidi.
