Burzum hei r esteem
Heiðr (from the Old Norse adjective meaning "bright" or the noun meaning "honour") is the seeress and witch (völva) mentioned in one stanza of Völuspá, related to the story of the Æsir-Vanir war:

Heith they named herwho sought their home,The wide-seeing witch,in magic wise;Minds she bewitchedthat were moved by her magic,To evil womena joy she was.
The general assumption is that Heiðr is an alternate name for the witch Gullveig, mentioned in the previous stanza, who, in turn, is often thought to be a hypostasis of Freyja. But it is sometimes argued that the völva who recites the poem refers to herself.
Heiðr is also a seeress in several works such as Landnámabók (S 179 / H 45), Hrólfs saga kraka (3) and Örvar-Odds saga (2), where she predicts Örvar's death.
Heiðr is lastly a child of the giant Hrímnir according to Völuspá hin skamma (Hyndluljóð, 32).
