    Extractions: 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.

    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.

    Extractions: 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. 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.

    Extractions: In "The Prose Edda" of Snori Sturlason, a compendium of Norse pagan myths written in 1220 A.D., Thor, the Norse god of thunder, twice encounters a creature known as Jormungander, the "World Serpent," also known as the Midgard Serpent. Jormungander was said to be one of three offspring of the trickster-god Loki and the giantess Angrboda, and so prodigious was the size of their monstrous, aquatic child that it coiled about the entirety of the world. Thor first encounters Jormungander in the company of the giant Hymir, whom Thor press-gangs into service as a rower in an attempt to capture Jormungander. Taking the severed head of Hymir's favorite ox Himinbrjotr, "Sky Bellower," as bait for the serpent, Thor and the giant row out into the sea. Thor ties a long line to a hook he has fashioned, impales the ox-head with it and lowers the bait to the bottom of the sea. "The Midgard Serpent snapped at the ox-head, and the hook caught in its jaw; but when the Serpent was aware of this, it dashed away so fiercely that both Thor's fists crashed against the gunwale. Then Thor was angered, and took upon him his divine strength, braced his feet so strongly that he plunged through the ship with both feet, and dashed his feet against the bottom; then he drew the Serpent up to the gunwale. And it may be said that no one has seen very fearful sights who might not see that: how Thor flashed fiery glances at the Serpent, and the Serpent in turn stared up toward him from below and blew venom." (Sturlason, The Prose Edda, Brodeur translation)

An Earthly Understanding The best known record of Norse mythology dates from the thirteenth century, when Snorri Sturluson composed his Prose Edda. Before this time, the myths were a completely oral tradition; Snorri thought to record them at a time when their preservation was in doubt. His work was meant as a guide for future skalds, for them to know the myths and continue to pass them along. In the first myth of the Prose Edda, Gylfi, King of Sweden, travels to Asgard. There, he meets three gods in disguise who go by the names High One, Just-As-High, and Third. Together, they tell Gylfi the story of creation. How much they tell him in truth is hard to judge; the gods are often full of guile, and the story itself is entitled “The Deluding of Gylfi.” Nevertheless, this is what they said…
