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. 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.

Everything People Norse Mythology Every ancient culture had their own brand of religion complete with myths and legends of beings greater than themselves. They all had their own story of the Creation, how people's lives were governed by these beings, and ethical rules. One such culture in Scandinavia worshipped beings like these and tried to follow their example. Norse mythology has also been an inspiration to people such as JRR Tolkien Richard Wagner and more recently, Robin Jarvis. The Vikings 'The Vikings' is a collective name given to Nordic people, namely Danes, Swedes and Norwegians. They were the great explorers, traders and sailors of their time - the Viking Age - from 800AD to 1100AD. The view that the Vikings only pillaged, sacked and maimed is a highly exaggerated opinion of them. Yes, they did do all those things, but it has only been exaggerated by the people they attacked - the monasteries, who were the historians of their time. The Vikings also developed streamlined longboats for sailing quickly across the sea, produced brilliant works of art and became rich from their booming maritime commerce. The Vikings visited many lands in their capacity as great explorers and sailors. They landed in England, where they ruled parts of it until the Saxons drove them out. Erik the Red discovered Greenland, and colonised the country with Vikings. Leif Erikson landed in America or 'Vinland' as they called it. They increased their territories rapidly and many countries feared their presence.

With its bounty of brawny, barrel-chested gods and buxom goddesses, the ancient Norse religion of the Scandinavian and Germanic countries is truly the creation myth for fans of both pro wrestling and heavy metal music. According to Norse lore, before there was Earth (Midgard), there was Muspell, a fiery land guarded by the fire sword-wielding Surt; Ginnungagap, a great void, and Niflheim, a frozen ice-covered land. When the cold of Niflheim touched the fires of Muspell, the giant Ymir and a behemothic cow, Auðhumla, emerged from the thaw. Then, the cow licked the god Bor and his wife into being. The couple gave birth to Buri, who fathered three sons, Odin, Vili, and Vé. The sons rose up and killed Ymir and from his corpse created from his flesh, the Earth; the mountains from his bones, trees with his hair and rivers, and the seas and lakes with his blood. Within Ymir’s hollowed-out skull, the gods created the starry heavens. What can we say: Pure metal magic!! Number 9 Zoroastrianism, the Religion of Ancient Persia

Norse Mythology Aegir In Norse mythology, Aegir was the god of the sea, seashore and ocean and a son of Mistarblindi. He was a personification of the ocean, both good and bad. He caused storms with his anger and the skalds said a ship went into "Aegir's wide jaws" when it wrecked . Aegir was crowned with seaweed and always surrounded by nixies and mermaids while in his hall. Aegir's wife was Ran and they lived under the sea by the island Hlesey. Ran and Aegir had nine daughters who were the waves. Aegir brewed ale for the gods after Thor brought him a big enough kettle. Every winter the gods would drink beer at Aegir's home. He was, therefore, famed for his hospitality. Gold was put onto the floor of the hall to provide light, instead of having a fire. Gold is therefore called Aegir's fire. The cups in Aegir's hall were always full, magically refilling themselves. Aegir had two servants in his hall, Fimafeng and Eldir. Sailors feared Aegir, and thought he would sometimes surface to destroy ships. Early Saxons made human sacrifices to a god of the sea, possibly connected with Aegir.

92. Norse Myths In norse mythology, life began without any one creator. Of the nine worlds in norse mythology, Asgard is on the highest level, with Alfheim to the east http://www.norse-man.net/Norse/Myths.htm

Norseman Central Norse Myths Version 4.0 Back Home Up Next ... Up Norse Myths (The actions described herein are in no particular order, some may only have been foretold) In Norse mythology, life began without any one creator. In the beginning there was a magic-filled gulf (Ginnungagap) bounded on the north by cold and darkness (Niflheim) and on the south by fire (Muspell). Life began at the place where the positive energy of Muspell melted the negative energy of Niflheim. These flashing sparks of life and hailstones of cold combined to produce the life-seeds of all matter. From the Sun's warmth on the whirling life-seeds came Audhumla, the great cow, and Ymir, a Giant. Audhumla licked a being, Buri, out of the salty ice. Both Ymir and Bun were asexual beings, capable of spawning offspring without a mate. Ymir perspired in his sleep, producing his Giant children. Bun produced a male being called Borr. Borr married Bestla, one of Ymir's Giantess daughters; their children were Odhinn, Vili and Ve. These offspring created the first human man (Askr or ash) and woman (Embla or elm) out of living trees by giving them a new form, intelligence and a soul. But Ymir was terribly cruel, so Odhinn and his brothers killed him. The whole race of Giants drowned in Ymir's blood, except for Bergelmir (Mountain Old) and his wife who hid in the great World-Mill. From this pair came all the Jotnar, or Giants.

94. THOR TARP - Mythology Page ODIN (O din)was the father of all the gods of norse mythology, According to norse mythology, THOR rode through the heavens on a golden chariot pulled by http://www.thortarp.com/norse.htm

THOR TARP Norse Mythology Page Before we launch into a description of Norse (Teutonic) Mythology let's answer some of the most asked questions about our company and why it's named as it is... Why "ODIN International, Inc."? ODIN (O din) Why "THOR TARP Division"? THOR (thawr) Why "Asgard Tools Division"? Asgard (AHS gahrd) was the home of the good gods, the Aesir (AY sur) , and was a wonderful place full of feasting and beautiful palaces. It was where the warriors who fought valiantly were carried by the valkyrie (val KIR ih) battle maidens to feast on wild boar, drink copious amounts of mead and be revived for future battles. Every morning they marched out at the crowing of the cock, and fought furiously; but by midday all wounds healed, and once again the warriors would assemble to feast. The tools we carry are only the finest; they go out each day and do the job that is expected of them. They are the recognized brands by which all others are measured. They are the pinnacle of design and performance, guaranteed to surpass your expectations. Yes, you can find tools that are more economically priced, but ours you only have to buy once...they're meant for a lifetime of service and they are of a caliber that the others can only wish for. Why "Valhalla Consulting"?

Norse mythology From Wikibooks Contents Norse culture and language, basics of Norse mythology Sources The world as seen by the believers of norse mythology War of the Aesir and Vanir ... edit Norse culture and language, basics of Norse mythology Norse mythology refers to the pre-christian belief of the Scandinavian people. It is the most well known version of the older common german mythology, which also included the closely related anglo-saxon mythology. The language spoken in the period that the norse gods where worshipped, was Old Norse. By the time this language split up into different languages (not including dialects), christianity had taken the place of the norse mythology, but the people continued to beleive in elves (note, not elves in the Tolkien fashion; these elves were more like faeries) and suchlike for many centuries after. One can still find remnnts of this old mythology in the scandinavian languages. Torsdag is the Norwegian name of Thursday, meaning Thor's day, after the norse god Thor. Other remeanigns in language can also be found; the name of the Ents of Tolkien's Middle-earth comes from the Eoteans or Entas, Old English for the Jotuns that play a part in norse mythology. The norse mythology itself was not a religion, in the sense that there was written rules or holy books. There were no leaders, and worship was differnt in different regions. So the term"mythology" covers it better than "religion". edit Sources Much of the Norse mythology was spoken legends, told from the elders and parents to the children, and that way passed on. However, some of it is written, like the Eddas and the first part of Heimskringla (written by Snorri Sturlason between 1220 and 1230 on Iceland), which is also known as The Norwegian King Sagas, as it tells about the Norwegian kings, and their supposed relation to the Gods. The original title of this work is not known, as the oldest version lacks the title page, and starts with "Kringla Heimsis". Other than this, there are also runestones, which for practical reasons cannot contain very much information, and the surviving myths and folklore.
