Attestation of VegvΓsir in the Huld Manuscript. The Huld Manuscript is the name given to the book of collected Icelandic staves and spells, compiled by Geir Vigfusson in the 19th Century. Huld is the name of a vΓΆlva in the Ynglinga and Sturlunga Sagas, who practiced SeiΓ°r magic. A later Icelandic tale by Snorri Sturlusson tells us that she was a mistress of Odin, and mothered two demi-goddesses by him, who were named ΓorgerΓ°r and Irpa. If we look at the etymology, βHuldβ means βHiddenβ or βSecretβ and is derived from Old Norse βHuldaβ. This root is seen in many other words in Germanic lore.
