Rindr in Norse mythology is a notable female figure rather than a god. She is primarily known as a giantess and the mother of the god Vali. According to mythological sources, Rindr plays a crucial role in the story of Odin’s son, Vali, whom Odin fathers with Rindr as part of Odin’s revenge against Loki and the giants.
The story recounts that Odin took the form of a woman and seduced Rindr, promising her safety and reward. As a result of their union, Vali was born, who would later avenge the death of Baldr by killing Loki.
While Rindr is not a deity in the traditional sense, she is an important mythological figure associated with the divine lineage and narrative of vengeance and kinship in Norse mythos.
