    Extractions: After Borr's sons rolled Ymir's (Hrim-thurs or ice-giant) corpse into the great Abyss they started to remove various components of his body to make the world. From his flesh they made Midgard (middle garden) or as we know it, Earth.The solid protion of Midgard was surrounded by Ymir's blood which created the vast oceans. His bones made the hills, his flat teeth made the cliffs, and his curly hair made the trees and vegetation. When the gods were pleased with their works, they took the giant's skull and poised it above the earth and sea as a great vault of heaven. They then scattered the brains through the air to create the clouds. To support the great vault, the gods stationed the strongest dwarfs, Nordi, Sudri, Austri, Westri, in the four corner of the world, which later became our compass points North, south, east and west. At this time, the gods needed light so they used a spell from Muspells-heim to create small points of light. The brightest points of spark or light were used to make the sun and the moon, which would be pulled through the sky in two golden chariots. To pull the sun chariot two steeds were chosen:- Arvakr (the early waker) , and Alsvin (the rapid goer) , and to protect them, they placed air under the horses skins. They also created a great shield, and called it

    Extractions: Their idea of Heaven was VALHALLA. Warriors only. You had to die in battle first and be escorted by beautiful blonde VALKYRIES. Here you could clash in battle all day long, your cleft limbs and cleavagings miraculously restored at the close of play. Then you spent all night carousing, feasting, getting roaring drunk and discussing the day's fun. "Bjorn, when you took my head off with that double-headed axe - just brilliant. I didn't see it coming at all. My blood hit the ceiling! Just wait till tomorrow though. I've got a great revenge planned." "I'll drink to that! Here, barmaid, five hundred drinking horns of Kvas please. And a packet of pork scratchings." So welcome to the Norse pantheon, which is not just Norway but the rest of Scandinavia - which includes Denmark and Sweden. The Vikings who were Swedes travelled mostly eastwards, and the Danes and Norwegians travelled mostly westwards. (The Swedes also ventured into Finland, which was not too impressed and mostly preferred its own Gods.) And Iceland came into the equation and did its own Viking things from 800 A.D.

65. Norse Mythology In The Wheel Of Time
    Norse and germanic mythology in Robert Jordan s _The Wheel of Time_ books.  
    http://hem.passagen.se/kjnoren/jordan/norse.html
    
    Extractions: 5.3 Bibliography and sources on the Internet The main troubles in finding parallels and inspiration from the Norse and Germanic mythology in The Wheel of Time (TWoT) is that the sources of Germanic mythology are very fragmented and in most cases preserved during the Christian era as literary stories or historified myths; and that Robert Jordan (RJ) deliberately went into bowdlerising them by writing a story that can be seen as the origin of the myths - and not only the Germanic ones. The parallels can theoretically be divided in story/plot parallels and character parallels. There are also details that more or less correspond to each other. I have tried to be rather strict when trying to say that a specific instance in TWoT has its "origin" in Germanic myths. This is especially true of the common indoeuropean material present in the Germanic mythology, like the Tree of Life. On the other hand, I have tried to be complete and list all evidence. You will have to judge for yourself, I only provide the "evidence". Most connections are classified by strength, but some are noted as possible - more of the story must be unfolded before any answer can be found. They go from certain, strong, moderate to weak. Please note that I haven't found any "free-standing" plot parallels, apart from minor cases related to the character parallels. I am pretty sure such exists, but they are 1) much harder to find; 2) much easier to bowdlerise and change (eg

    Extractions: see what bands benefitted from your clicks yesterday (Below is an introduction to Norse Mythology, I will be adding pages to this website which will include my own writings on this subject - Valdis Isbrandsdottir) Norse Mythology and the Zodiac Norse Mythology In the beginning there was cold and heat The way to the North - Norway - has always been regarded as a route that is hard to find, difficult to tread and fraught with unspeakable dangers. To the writers of ancient Greece and Rome Norway was a mythical world - Ultima Thule, peopled by wild barbarians and full of strange and fantastic creatures. by Tor Åge Bringsværd In the 4th century BC, the Greek Pytheas described a place where the laws of nature seemed to be suspended, where earth and water and air came together and everything seemed to float about freely. The renowned historian Herodot complained that it was actually quite impossible to say anything at all about the northern regions, because one simply couldn't see a foot in front of one. This was because of all the white feathers that constantly blow in people's faces - the air is thick with such feathers, he wrote, and the ground completely covered by them! We should probably interpret this observation as the somewhat unsuccessful attempt of a southerner to describe a snowstorm. However, it's true enough; Norway has always had more than its share of snow and ice. A major portion of our country lies north of the Arctic Circle. And even though the glaciers have long since receded from these parts, the Ice Age lasted longer in Norway than in most other places.

71. Solar Deities In Norse Mythology, An Article By Jodie Forrest
    norse mythology and astrology. However, at first glance, norse mythology doesn t include the radiant solar beings one might expect.  
    http://www.stevenforrest.com/freya.html
    
    Extractions: (First published in THE MOUNTAIN ASTROLOGER) The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch's painting, 'The Sun,' shows a huge, radiant solar disc rising over a fjord, where a diminutive house clings to a rocky cliff overlooking the water. Munch's sun emits kaleidoscopically multicolored rays of pulsing, almost animate, light, all streaming out from that immense central core, illuminating and virtually setting fire to the landscape below. The original hangs in the Festival Hall at the University of Oslo. A print hangs in my office and often stops first time clients in their tracks. Perhaps Munch painted his impression of Scandinavia's famous midnight sun. In the more northerly parts of Scandinavia, around the summer solstice, the light doesn't completely fade from the sky. Friends who've traveled there at that time report that they felt happy, almost euphoric, and that the native Scandinavians, however undemonstrative, seemed to react with equal energy. On the other hand, around the winter solstice, the dark doesn't completely leave either. Melancholia, depression, substance abuse,and violence may all increase then. Some Scandinavians install banks of full spectrum lighting in their homes to counteract the loss of light. One might think that solar deities would assume great importance in the land of the midnight sun. However, at first glance, Norse mythology doesn't include the radiant solar beings one might expect.Instead we find a myth about the Sun and the Moon, which seems to assign equal importance to each luminary. Then there's the goddess of love and fertility, Freyja, who has the distinctly solar attributes of

    Extractions: THE OLD TESTAMENT ROOTS OF NORSE MYTHOLOGY D OES Bible prophecy actually speak to us of the Norse and related peoples of Europe? I believe that it does, and that these peoples can trace their descent from the Biblical lost tribes of the House of Israel, removed out of their land in Assyrian captivity two thousand seven hundred years ago, and lost to recorded history. The Caucasian peoples, including the Norse, migrated out of Asia into Europe in the early pre-Christian centuries, and have fulfilled many of the prophecies in both the Old and New Testaments concerning Israel in the latter days. Let's begin our study in the foremost prophetic book of the New Testament, Revelation. In Revelation chapter 12, there appears a spectacular vision which has intrigued Christians for centuries. The vision concerns 'a woman.' Bible commentators see this woman as representing Israel, and the vision as prophetic of events which were to take place in world history. We are told in verse two that this woman was about to give birth. The child was none other than Jesus Christ, for we are told in verse five that he was 'a man-child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron.'

    Extractions: John Lindow, Norse Mythology: A Guide to the Gods, Heroes, Rituals, and Beliefs (Oxford University Press, 2001) A careful reading of John Lindow's Norse Mythology will not only acquaint the casual reader with the primary themes and characters of Norse mythology, it will also introduce the reader to the sources, the arguments, the geographic settings, and the various contradictory and interwoven nuances that abound within this branch of folklore. Then this book will continue to serve the reader as a reference both to and for the source texts, should one wish to further explore this fascinating and transcendant mythos. While a large percentage of Norse Mythology necessarily draws upon Snorri Sturluson's (and, to a lesser extent, Saxo Grammaticus') writings, Dr. Lindow also draws upon other sources to fully inform the alphabetical guide that makes up the bulk of this work. Each such reference is mentioned in the copious footnotes. These footnotes underscore the usefulness of this book for the average English reader, as most of the references cited are not available in English translations, but are scholarly texts of Germanic and Scandinavian origin. The book opens with an introduction that explores the historical background of the Scandinavian people, their ties to Indo-European culture, the tradition of Skaldic poetry, and the texts of Snorri Sturluson. In addition, problems that arise in studying Norse mythology are addressed, problems that develop as texts dealing with Norse deities were composed by Christian authors writing in different languages centuries after the actual worship of the deities.

    Extractions: The runes are inextricably bound to Norse mythology. One who aspires to be a user of runes needs a working knowledge of the mythology and writings of the runic era. In the beginning was Muspell , the realm of fire. It is a place of dreadful light and heat. Only its natives, the Fire Giants , can tolerate its flames. Surt , a Fire Giant , guards Muspell's border, armed with a flaming sword. At the end of the era, at Ragnarok Surt and his companions will destroy all the Gods and and their world with fire. Outside of Muspell lies the void called Ginnungagap , and north of Ginnungagap is Niflheim , the world of awesome dark and cold. In this world are eleven rivers flowing from a great well. The rivers are frozen and occupy Ginnungagap . When the wind, rain, ice, and cold meet the heat and fire of Muspell in the center of Ginnungagap , a place of light, air, and warmth is born. Where fire and ice first met, thawing drops appeared. Beneath the melting ice lay a Frost Giant named Ymir Ymir slept, falling into a sweat. Under his left arm there grew a couple, male and female Giants. One of his legs begot a son with the other. The melting frost became a cow called Audhumla from whose udders ran four rivers of milk that fed Ymir.
