This verse really struck me. I love the idea of Odin and Thor playing games.

I also enjoyed playing with the concept of silhouette and making the image a symbol as much as an illustration of the verse.

Voluspa - Norse Mythology Book - Verse 8

“In their dwellings at peace they played at tables,

Of gold no lack did the gods then know,

Till thither came up giant-maids three,

Huge of might, out of Jotunheim.”
