Skrymir (The Seeker of Sunsets)Source Divine Mysteries pg. 310As the trickster god of the
cloud giants, Skrymir is the very embodiment of wanderlust, mischievousness, and acuity. Nearly always masquerading as a new persona whenever he’s seen, he meanders the lands, rewarding those who correctly answer his riddles and pass his tests of wit. He has a familial connection with
Bergelmir, but whether it is as her brother, cousin, or son differs from myth to myth, likely due in no small part to his love of disguises and lighthearted chicanery. Because of his tendency to change his appearance and presentation at a whim, frequently slipping into whatever form feels most comfortable at that moment in time, there are no consistent depictions of him. He could be a frail, blithering old man one moment, then a strong inquisitive young woman the next. He is always a giant of some kind, and the excited glint in his eye when he meets someone with sharp wit and a curious mind seems to carry over regardless of the form he takes.
Followers of the Seeker of Sunsets tend to be travelers themselves, looking to him for both guidance and enjoyment on their journeys. Tales of his adventures and puckish trials are especially popular among younger giants, validating and encouraging their urge to explore and wander. Some worshippers can display his religious symbol on the soles of their footwear, but the best and most popular way to honor him is to indulge in the spirit of harmless inquiry and taking pleasure in the journey just as much as the destination.
