Feorgen is God of All Life, World Soul, Father Earth, Eormengand the World-girdling Serpent.
And Drygand is his offshoot, his agency, the face and force he turns toward Man.
Feorh(OEng, also 'feorg')= life. Fjarg(ONor)= heathen god. Fjarghus= temple. Fairhus(Goth)= world. Firgen(OEng)= mountain. Fjorgyn(ONor)= Mother Earth. Fjorgynn= an epithet used of Odinn.
Eormen-(OEng, ~ONor Jormun-)= great, vast. Gand(ONor)= something magical; i.e. serpent, staff, wizard/witch. Jormungand(ONor)=the Midgard(Earth) Serpent.
Dry(OEng~Kelt. drui, as in 'druid')= magician, magic. Any etymological resemblance of 'Drygand' to 'dragon' is entirely fortuitous.
