Óðsmál finds the 3 þurs-maidens  (–þursameyjar þríar (3 þurs-maidens))
–that mis-reading of manuscript, actually(!!)—
so they should not exist. But here they are!
Þurs-maidens are more evolved stages than their fathers, þursar, the old evolutionary states..
Clever Óðsmál to see this in context of individual and universal evolution, from base states to the highest: which is life (–of living einherjar–) in Valhöll, where we wage peace in consciousness.

Skaði seeks Baldur sun-god, the highest
Gerður finds Freyr, her divinity within, (Edda poem Skírnismál)
Gunnlöð should keep the mead of wisdom from us, but gives it away freely.
