Grid (Jotun)
In Norse mythology, Grid was a giantess who, aware of Loki's plans to get Thor killed at the hands of the giant Geirrod, sets out to help him by supplying him with a number of magical gifts. These gifts were: a girdle of might , a pair of magical iron gloves, and a magical wand , according to some accounts made of rowan. These gifts save Thor's life.
She is referenced in the poem Thorsdrapa and in Snorri Sturluson's Skaldskaparmal.
