Hliðskjálf the seat of the gods

I was looking into Germanic astronomy and stumbled on this article:

It's making a case Hliðskjálf might refer to the constellation of Cassiopeia, the seated woman. My first thought was Cybele, until I actually looked at the constellation and realized it's the big W in the northern sky, so now I'm considering it might be related to Wralda.

It's nothing big but I thought I'd share it anyway
