In Wodenist lore, Jormungandr is also known as the Otan Serpent, a sea serpent said to surround the globe. Jormungandr is the middle child of a fabled giantess and the mischievous god Loki and brother to the wolf Fenrir, and Hel, goddess of the underworld.

Depictions

Jormungandr is often depicted as ouroboros.

Lore

When he was young, Woden tossed the (then only large) Jormungandr into the great ocean that encircles Otan. The serpent grew so large that it was able to surround the Earth and grasp its own tail.[2] As a result, it received the name of World Serpent. When it releases its tail, Ragnarok will begin. Jormungandr's arch-enemy is the thunder-god, Thor.

Intercession

May grant or revoke the ability to sail safely in Otan ocean waters.
