Njord's desire of the Sea by W.G. Collingwood

On Njörðr's origins:

In Vanaheim they shaped him, the wise powers,
and sold him as a hostage to the gods.
At the age of reckoning (Ragnarök)

《Vafþrúðnismál 39》

The world-tree is inhabited by the great squirrel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratatoskr

It starts with saying do not fall in love with a deceitful woman and immediately states to lie to women to get them to bed, what logic
