Introduction Mythic Figures Creation Cosmology ... Sources Search Enter Keyword Introduction Norse mythology, Scandinavian mythology, Viking mythology; all refer to the pre-Christian religion of the Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, and Danish peoples. A few books group Finnish mythology in with the Norse but the old beliefs of Finland form a separate tradition although there are some interesting parallels. The Norse mythological system as we currently have it comes down to us mainly from the Icelandic Eddas and sagas which were written down a few centuries after the christianization of the north. There has been much research trying to discern the true ancient religion as practiced by the people of the Scandinavian countries as opposed to the representation we are given in the written sources. Aside from any influence Christianity might have played, Norse mythology presents us with a multilayered, often contradictory, world view with a myriad of parallels in other mythological systems. It is a playground for the comparative mythology researcher, rich with elements from Indo-European, Shamanistic, and other belief systems. Many people are familiar with J.R.R. Tolkien's

List of Norse Beings This page is an old version, please see http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~cherryne/mythology.html Aegir The meaning of his name is associated with water. He was also called Hler and Gymir [the Blinder] (the name of Gerd's father it is not known if they are one and the same). Aegir was the god of the seashore or ocean, and called the ruler of the sea by Snorri. He was a personification of the ocean, be it good or evil. He caused storms with his anger and the skalds said a ship went into "Aegir's wide jaws" when it wrecked. Sailors feared Aegir, and thought he would sometimes surface to destroy ships. According to Sidonius, early Saxons made human sacrifices to a god of the sea, possibly connected with Aegir. Aegir was one of the Vanir and a giant. His father was Mistarblindi [Mist-Blind], and his brothers, Logi [Fire] (identified by Guerber as Loki), and Kari [Air]. Aegir's wife (and sister) was Ran and they lived under the sea by the island Hlesey. Ran and Aegir had nine daughters who were the waves all of their names are poetic names for 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. Instead of having a fire, gold was put onto the floor of the hall to provide light. 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 [Handy] and Eldir [Fire-Kindler]. According to Lee Hollander, Aegir's function as the gods' ale brewer was suggested by the ocean's foam.

The Norse Creation Myth abstracted from The Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson by D. L. Ashliman Muspell The first world to exist was Muspell, a place of light and heat whose flames are so hot that those who are not native to that land cannot endure it. Surt sits at Muspell's border, guarding the land with a flaming sword. At the end of the world he will vanquish all the gods and burn the whole world with fire. Ginnungagap and Niflheim Beyond Muspell lay the great and yawning void named Ginnungagap, and beyond Ginnungagap lay the dark, cold realm of Niflheim. Ice, frost, wind, rain and heavy cold emanated from Niflheim, meeting in Ginnungagap the soft air, heat, light, and soft air from Muspell. Ymir Where heat and cold met appeared thawing drops, and this running fluid grew into a giant frost ogre named Ymir. Frost ogres Ymir slept, falling into a sweat. Under his left arm there grew a man and a woman. And one of his legs begot a son with the other. This was the beginning of the frost ogres. Audhumla Thawing frost then became a cow called Audhumla. Four rivers of milk ran from her teats, and she fed Ymir.

9. The Norse In The North Atlantic: Newfoundland And Labrador Heritage Examines Viking purpose and practice of oceanic exploration. Provided by Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage. http://www.heritage.nf.ca/exploration/norse.html

Early Exploration Before Cabot The Voyage of St. Brendan Pre-Cabot Bristol Explorers ... Other Claimants Norse The Norse who came to Newfoundland were not fierce raiders in search of pillage and plunder. Norsemen appear to have left their homeland in search of a place where their old customs and freedoms were not so threatened. Though their culture was a violent one by our own standards and blood feuds were common, the Greenland colonists were not bloodthirsty sea-raiders. Trees were felled to heat homes and smelt iron, and turf was stripped from the thin soils. Sagas describe Vinland as a land of grassy meadows, with rivers full of salmon. The discovery of Vinland was not followed by successful settlement and exploitation of the New World.

Norse Games The Norse were interested in many games. Included among them were: Nine Men's Morris The basic rules are as follows: The game is fought in two stages. In stage one each player is permitted to place one of his nine pieces at any junction of line segments (corners or center-lines) in succession. An opponents piece may be taken when a player manages to get three pieces on a single line segment (a mill). (A very few versions do not permit this in stage one.) The strategies in this stage are related to, but are more complex than, the strategies for Tic-Tac-Toe (Noughts and Crosses). When all pieces are down, stage two begins (assuming one of the players hasn't wiped out his opponent; unusual but possible). Each player in succession may move one piece along any line segment to the next junction on that segment. Jumping is not normally permitted. The object in this stage is also to form lines of three (mills). The game ends in one of three ways: a tie, by agreement of the players that neither will be able to form further mills; a win, where one player has been reduced to 2 pieces and is thus unable to make further mills; and finally the equivalent of a stalemate in chess, where one of the players is physically unable to move any of his pieces due to the blocking positions of his opponents pieces. The interpretation of this last position varies, but I think the tendancy is to view it as a loss for the player who can't move. Most of the more complex rules involve what constitutes a mill and what pieces if any need to move to make a new mill.

QUICK LINKS Home page Archaeology Arts and Crafts Civilizations Cultures First Peoples History Treasures Military history Artifact catalogue Library catalogue Other Web sites Boutique Canada Hall The Norse What Europeans considered a "New World" was in fact home to Native people for over 15,000 years before the first Europeans landed on the eastern shores of North America. Around A.D. 1000, the medieval Norse (Vikings) established the first European settlement, on the northern coast of Newfoundland , but they only stayed for a brief period. At the end of the ninth century, a gradual migration began across the North Atlantic. Several hundred families left the Norwegian coast aboard knorrs rugged cargo vessels three times larger than the coasters then plying the North Sea to settle in Iceland. A century later, Eric the Red led their descendants to Greenland and a few of them followed his son, Leif the Lucky , as far as North America. Since the Norse used open ships offering no protection from the elements and lacked even the most rudimentary navigational devices, they had to cross the North Atlantic island by island, from Norway to North America. Each leg of the journey was about 600 kilometres. Speculation about the Norse expeditions to North America was based primarily on traditional Icelandic sagas, which are supported by direct evidence uncovered by archaeologists since the 1960s. A handful of Norse artifacts scattered across the islands of the High Arctic and the remains of a settlement at

19. The Nordic Way A page about norse religion or Way Sed / si°r . http://www.nenne.com/nordicway/

Making a site in English about the "Norse religion" or "Way" ["Sed"/"siðr"] proves to be a difficult task. Due to the fact that the English language lacks many of the words needed to fully describe the true essence of it. A part of the problem lies in the fact that there was no specific word for "religion" in pre-christian Scandinavia. When christianity was introduced, people referred to it as " the New Way " as opposite to " the Ancient Way " ["forn siðr"]. In Norse times "religion" wasn't separated from everyday social manners and customs, nor from sense of the law or moral values. So when we today speak of asatro asatru or Norse Paganism , we must be careful not to misunderstand each otherthis because there are all different kinds of people who call themselves "Asatruars"not even mentioning all New-Agers and suchlike that desecrate and abuse the Way by stealing and misusing sacred signs and practices in the same, most sacrilegious, way that they expropriate traditions and desecrate objects, places and symbols that are sacred to, say, native Americans. First there are those who confess to and pay hommage to the Norse Godsperiodwho leave out the "rest". By this I mean that they seem to have little or no place in their world for the other parts of "
