Urðarbrunnr, well of Urðr, is a Norse constellation mentioned in the Rímtǫl glosses, which dates back to the 11th century CE and is an Old Norse calendar of 52 weeks (364 days).
Concordance, Etymology, History
Origin of Constellation
Urðarbrunnr (well of Urðr) is the spring at which the Æsir hold daily council. To reach it, they ride across Bifröst (Sturluson 2017[1], p. 28). The well is located in the Milky Way. We painted it in the area of Perseus, as it fits the end of Bifröst. This way, the Alpha-Persei star cluster could represent the spring beneath Yggdrasil’s root.
