24. Main Menu A whois-who of classical, norse, Gaelic and Egyptian mythology. http://www.akasha.demon.co.uk/main.htm

This web page is dedicated to the wonderful stories and legends found in the ancient mythologies. Being mainly Celtic with a dash of Greek, I have always been facinated with the myths of those two races. Recently I have researched Norse mythology and found that there is an equally exciting supply of legend there.Finally, inspired by an upcoming trip to Egypt I started to look at their myths, which although highly confusing, have a wealth of interesting deities and beliefs My only problem in constructing this web site has been in deciding what to put in and what to leave out. I have basically compromised by including a glossary of the main characters in Norse, Gaelic, Egyptian and Classical Mythology and including a few of my own favorite stories. I hope, that like me, you may be inspired to read more about the myths of these great cultures. Mail me! or sign the guest book

25. Dictionary Of The Gods Brief dictionary of norse mythology, from Viking lore to Odin and Yggdrasill. http://www.wildwoodforeststudios.com/rob/dict.htm

A Dictionary of the Norse Gods by Rob Elliott Aegir: (or Hler) He is the god of the sea, and dwells on the island of Lessoe (or Hlesey). He is usually depicted as an old man with a long white beard. He is said to trigger storms and tempests and, on occasion, even calm the weather. Aegir is also suspected of greed, often sinking vessels and bringing them down with him to the depths of the ocean. Aesir: This is the collective name given to the warrior gods who live in Asgard. Alfheim: Of the nine worlds, this is the world of the Light Elves. Asgard: Of the nine worlds, this is the world of the Aesir, or the warrior gods. In Asgard the gods built their halls, one of which is Valhalla. Audhumla: The cow created in the hoar-frost of Ginnungagap. When Audhumla became hungry, she began licking the salt from the sheets of ice. After continuous licking, the cow uncovered from the ice the body of Buri, whose grandsons are the gods Odin, Vili, and Ve. Balder: Beserker Rage: At certain times, Odin was said to give to his warriors the gift of beserker rage, which enabled the warrior, although weaponless and naked, to perform great feats of strength and valor. Bifrost: This is the name given to the rainbow (or flaming) bridge, which spans the gap between Midgard and Asgard.

26. ASATRU (Norse Heathenism) ASATRU. (norse Heathenism). Its followers have maintained it as closely as possible to the original religion of the norse people. http://www.religioustolerance.org/asatru.htm

ASATRU (Norse Heathenism) Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. History: Asatru is frequently regarded as one of the Neopagan family of religions. That family includes Wicca Celtic Druidism , and re-creations of Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and other ancient Pagan religions. However, many Asatruers prefer the term " Heathen " to " Neopagan " and look upon their tradition as " not just a branch on the Neopagan tree " but as a separate tree. Unlike Wicca, which has gradually evolved into many different traditions, the reconstruction of Asatru has been based on the surviving historical record. Its followers have maintained it as closely as possible to the original religion of the Norse people. Some sources state that Asatru or Ásatrú is of Norse origin, derived from the Danish word Asetro . It was " first seen in 1885 in an article in the periodical "Fjallkonan". The next recorded instance was in "Heiðinn siður á Íslandi" by Ólafur Briem (Reykjavík, 1945) ." The title means "

after the conversion of Iceland to Christianity. There are a number of narrative poems, called eddas , which tell tales of Norse gods: Hymiskvitha , and many others. These narratives would be collected in a larger prose work, the Edda written by Snorri Sturluson (1178-1241) and called the Snorra Edda in Icelandic. skaldic poetry. The pantheon of gods was far from settled; the society of gods was primarily clan-based and wracked by internal violence and feuding. Iceland Thing or "Assembly." Here the separate clans would primarily deal with conflicts among members of the clan and exact reparations in order to prevent blood-feuds. In spite of this, however, the picture that Icelandic history gives us is one of fairly regular, low-level warfare between individuals and clans. Leifr Eriksson discovered a territory he called Vinland sagas , are the greatest works of European literature until the Renaissance. Some sagas tell large-scale histories of the settlement of Iceland or Greenland, but the great genius of the saga-tellers was their focus on individuals and on the relentlessly human aspect of Norse life. In sagas such as Laxdaelasaga Njal's Saga , the larger history of Iceland fades into the dramas of individual passions, heroism, and revenge, a world of human passions and gestures. These sagas are perhaps our best glimpse of the Norse world view. Unlike the European world view, it was relentlessly focussed on the human side of historical events, how history and violence are germinated in the human mind and in human emotions. The world of the sagas is an unpredictable and arbitrary world where social order is only maintained on the thinnest of threads. Europe would not see their equal again until William Shakespeare sat down and put pen to paper.

The nordic mythology... Old Norse Mythology. The Old Norse Mythology is rather facinating. The ones aqquinted with the world of Tolkien can to some extent recognize themselves when dealing with this mythology. According to the old tales a man with the name of Gylfe, king of Svithiod, once entered the home of the gods and there he was told how the world begun. He met with three beings which had the names: Hög (High), Tredje (Third) and jämnhög (Even Height or something like that ;-). They told him how the world had been created and how everything was done. In the beginning there was the abyss (Ginnungagapet), North of this there was Nifelheim, the world of cold where Cold and Darkness rules. Frosty mists rose from the cold well of Hvergelmer. In the south there was the hot Muspelheim, a place where the being Surte ruled with a flaming sword. The mists from Hvergelmer formed the frozen stream of Elivågor which flowed in to the Ginnungagap and filled it with ice. But at the same time flares from Muspelheim fell into the abyss and the falling drops which became the result of the mix of flares and ice formed two giant beings: A cow with the name 'Audhumbla' and a giant named 'Ymer'. Ymer got his food from the cow by means of four mouths which he used to milk the cows four nipples. Audhumbla in turn lived on the white frost ont the rocks. Her warm breath created a man called Bure wich by some mysterious way managed to get hold of a wife (it is not described how) and they where the first of the Asa dynasty of which Oden, Vile and Ve would be the greatest.

30. Shetland Norse Preserving Company Limited Specialises in the supply of quality fresh, canned and frozen seafood products. Company information, contact and product details. http://www.shetlandnorse.co.uk

Shetland Norse Preserving Company Limited was formed in 1969 by Norwegian businessman Henry Krantz who had come to know the Shetland Isles and made many lasting friendships here as a member of the Norwegian Resistance movement during World War II. Shetland was, and still is, an ideal location for seafood processing. The obvious advantages that Shetland has to offer is its proximity to some of the best fishing grounds in the North Atlantic, clean, unpolluted waters and good transport links to the rest of Europe. Today the company is run by Henry's son Pal. Concentrating mainly on shellfish we have a growing reputation for quality crab and scallop products. With a (now) thriving inshore fishery in Shetland, shellfish are landed daily and processed the following day, ensuring a fast turnaround that guarantees quality and freshness. As the only crab processor in Shetland we operate the only cannery making Shetland Norse unique in the Shetland fish processing sector. At our company's modern EU approved premises in Mid Yell around 400 tonnes of crab and 200 tonnes of scallops are processed per year for markets throughout Europe.

33. Barbarian's Norse Religion Page What is norse Religion? Asatru is also very much concerned with maintaining family and community; two major concerns of the Germanic/norse peoples. http://www.wizardrealm.com/norse/

What is Norse Religion? Norse Religion, or Heathenry, is the modern-day practice of the ancient tribal belief systems of the Northern European peoples; the Teutons (continental Germanic tribes) and the Norse (Scandinavian and Gothic tribes). Although their deities were pretty much the same, they were pronounced differently among the various tribes. Thus you have Odin among the Norse, and Wotan or Wodan among the Teutons; Thor or Thonar among the Norse, and Donar or Donner among the Teutons. A branch of Asatru refers to itself as "Folkish Asatru". This particular denomination of Asatru claims to be the one "true" Asatru, descended from the ancient Northern European religion. Members of Folkish Asatru claim that bloodline is the strongest determinant of whether or not a person may practice the Norse Heathen faith. Although they claim not to be racist (actually, not to be supremacist), their fundamental practices are based upon race. Folkish Asatru tend to be intolerant of other heathen practices and of people of non-Nordic/Germanic descent practicing Asatru. Yet another branch of heathenry calls itself "Odinism." It is very close to Asatru, but with more emphasis on magical working rather than religious practices. I find that more solitary practitioners are drawn to this form rather than to Asatru, even though the two are so close in their practices as to be nigh-well undistinguishable. Again, I find the main difference to be upon the emphasis of magickal working rather than ceremonial religious ritual. Unfortunately, many people who profess to be Odinists use the term for their own political agendas of racism and White Supremacy. This is not what this form of worship is about; Racism is a political agenda, not a religious one. Don't let anyone try to tell you differently.

35. The Gods And Goddesses Of The Norse Religion Meet the Gods and Goddesses of the norse Pantheon. Pisces Both Njord and Nerthus; God and Goddess of the Oceans and Rivers. Return to the norse Religion Page. http://www.wizardrealm.com/norse/gods.html

Meet the Gods and Goddesses of the Norse Pantheon Thor, or Donnar, also known as the Thunderer, was considered to be a son of Odin by some, but among many tribes Thor actually supplanted Odin as the favorite god. He is considered to be the protector of all Midgard, and he wields the mighty hammer Mjollnir. Thor is strength personified. His battle chariot is drawn by two goats, and his hammer Mjollnir causes the lightning that flashes across the sky. Of all the deities, Thor is the most "barbarian" of the lot; rugged, powerful, and lives by his own rules, although he is faithful to the rest of the Aesir. The day Thursday (Thorsdaeg) is sacred to him. Freyr (Fro Ingwe) is Freya's twin brother. He is the horned God of fertility, and has some similarities to the Celtic Cernunnos or Herne, although he is NOT the same being. He is known as King of the Alfs (elves). Both the Swedish and the English are said to be descendents of his. The Boar is his sacred symbol, which is both associated with war and with fertility. His golden boar, "Gullenbursti", is supposed to represent the daybreak. He is also considered to be the God of Success, and is wedded to Gerda, the Jotun, for whom he had to yield up his mighty sword. At Ragnarok, he is said to fight with the horn of an elk (much more suited to his nature rather than a sword.) Tyr (or Tiw, Ziw) is the ancient god of War and the Lawgiver of the gods. He sacrifices his hand so that the evil Fenris wolf may be bound. At one time he was the leader of the Norse Pantheon, but was supplanted by Odin much later. There is nothing to indicate how this occurred; one assumes that he simply "stepped back" and let Odin assume the position of leadership. Tyr is excellent in all manners of Justice, fair play, and Right Action.

38. Norse Mythology In The Wheel Of Time norse and Germanic Mythology in The Wheel of Time. But, there are no references at least in norse mythology to the threads forming a pattern. http://hem.passagen.se/kjnoren/jordan/norse.html

Norse and Germanic Mythology in The Wheel of Time (Last changed November 1997 - section on Lanfear) Contents 1. Introduction 1.1 Spoilers 1.2 Sources 1.3 Names and roles of some gods ... 5.3 Bibliography and sources on the Internet 1. Introduction 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
