Ginnungagap

Ginnungagap is the old Norse term for the abyss that predates the cosmos. It was a dark vastness from which primordial creation emerged, with the first gods forming from the ice and darkness. It should be noted that the word Ginnungagap means 'abyss,' but its full meaning is something more like 'charged abyss' or even 'magic abyss.'
Ginnungagap within Norse mythology served a purely metaphysical purpose. Nordic beliefs traditionally see existence as cyclical in nature, with violent cosmic destruction followed by recreation. Ginnungagap appears to have been the dark, transitional periods inbetween universes.
