Heimdall the watcher was a Norse deity of the Aesir tribe, a god of keen eyesight & hearing who stood ready to sound the Gjallarhorn at the beginning of Ragnarök. From what little evidence has survived, Heimdall appears to have been a protector of the deities & a guardian of the passages to & from the Nine Worlds. For his alleged role in granting wisdom & social order, he was also regarded as a father & patron to human beings. He had teeth of gold, & was said to have had nine mothers, sea giants from among the jötnar. These multiple mothers were likely a reference to the Nine Worlds over which he kept watch. in any case, Heimdall appears to have been associated with the sea, gold, roosters, & rams.
