Wayland the Smith

Wayland the Smith, also known as Völundr, was a legendary Saxon smith, crafter of wonderous works and legends of him exist across Europe. In England, one of the Neolithic Megaliths is associated with him and known as Wayland's Smithy - likely named thus by the Saxons who settled in the area - where it is said any horseshoe will be repaired over night by the invisible Wayland.
