The Meaning of Asgard's Walls

Interpreting myth: Verses 25/26 in Vǫluspá refer to the same myth found in chapter 42 of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning which tells the story of how a Jotunn in disguise deceived the gods to enter a deal in which he would build the walls of Asgard in exchange for the sun, moon and the hand in marriage of Freyja. This is one of the most misunderstood myths of Norse mythology so I have decided to explain it as best I can.
