Fenja and Menja operated the magic mill Grotti, grinding whatever its owner commanded. In the Grottasöngr, they sing over the millstones as they grind first gold, then destruction.
Friðfróði owned the magic mill Grotti and commanded the giantesses Fenja and Menja to grind gold and peace on it. The mill's power was the source of Fróði's legendary prosperity.
Mýsingr seized the mill Grotti after killing Friðfróði, and set Fenja and Menja to grind salt on his ships. They ground until the ships sank, and the whirlpool that formed is said to explain the sea's saltiness.
