Brief Bio

In Norse mythology, the Bifröst is a shimmering, burning rainbow bridge that connects the realm of the gods, Asgard, to the mortal realm of Midgard, serving as the only way to travel between these worlds. Guarded by the god Heimdall, it allows the gods to hold court daily but will be broken when the frost giants use it to attack Asgard during Ragnarök, the end of the world. The bridge's name is thought to mean "shimmering" or "quivering" bridge, reflecting its ephemeral and powerful nature.
