What is Norse Mythology?
Norse mythology is an incredibly rich and deep lore, full of
many great stories and poems of the Nordic culture, from

Scandinavia and the Germanic countries. Norse mythology
which is also known as Germanic mythology is a not just a
myth, it is a religion and it was practiced by the Vikings who
lived in the Scandinavian countries in the Viking age, but it was
also practiced by the Germanic people. What the Vikings called
their religion or if it even had a name like other religions has,

no one knows.

The Norse Sagas
Other In the last few decades, the sagas from Norse mythology and
the culture of the Vikings have increasingly spread across the

world. Many people have even been inspired in the late 20th
century, and references to Norse mythology became more
common in literature and in movies such as lord of the rings,
The 13th warrior and in series such as The Vikings.
In culture has even spread into the gaming industry there has
also been many games, one of them which is among my
favorite is a role-playing game called Skyrim, which clearly has
a Nordic touch. One of my favorite cartoons from 1986 called

“The Goddess Freya and her cats” by Carl Emil Doepler (1905)
Valhalla, always brings me back happy memories from when I
was a child. Which is a cartoon I clearly can recommend and it

is fun for both children and adults.

The Viking Gods
Norse mythology is polytheistic which means worshiping in
multiple Gods and Goddesses. The Vikings believed that there
are two branches of Gods the Æsir and the Vanir but they also
believed in other mythical beings such as giants, dwarfs, and
other creatures. You may have heard some of the Gods or

Goddesses before…
Odin who is the chief of the Aesir, married with Frigg who is the
Queen of Asgard. Or what about Thor the God of thunder and
the protector of Midgard the world of man! And who can forget
about Loki… ahhh Loki so many great stories about him, always
up to some new tricks to annoy the Aesir. And there are many
many more..
“Thor the God of thunder”
Where did the Vikings

come from?
The Vikings came from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in

Scandinavia, some of the Vikings loved to explore, and since
they had the most advanced technology in shipbuilding at their
time, they could travel faster and further than anyone else
before them.
The Vikings made settlements all over Europe, in countries
such as England, France, Germany, and Ukraine, but also
further away like in Iceland, Faroe Island, and Greenland. The
Vikings did even sail to what today is Newfoundland in Canada,
to make a settlement which they called Vinland.

Vikings were not

barbarians
The Vikings didn’t have any paper and most of their writing
have been found on runestones, leather, jewelry, and
weapons. Their history and culture have only been passed
down orally through stories (also called sagas) and poems. This
means a lot of the lore from the Vikings has been lost in time
since the Viking age… But then an Icelandic historian, poet, and
politician Snorri Sturluson decided to gather as much as he
could and write it all down into a book he called The Prose
Edda (1220-1230).
Just as the Christians demonized the Vikings in the Viking age,
the media today is not that much better. The Vikings were far
more than just some bloodthirsty warmongering warriors from
the north. The Vikings were not just explorers and warriors, but
also farmers, traders, poets, and musicians. They were very
creative, and made beautiful art and had superior shipbuilding
skills compared to the rest of the world.

The rebirth of a religion?
Norse mythology which is a real religion to many people across
the world, is not just some myths or stories to them. There are
many names for this religion depending on where you live you
might have stumbled upon di erent names for the same
religion, and no Norse mythology is not one of those names.
(The reason why I choose to use that name, is because that is
the name people are searching for).
The Viking Religion
In Iceland they tend to call it Ásatrú, in Denmark, they also call
it Ásatrú or Ásatrú and Vanatrú, I’ve even heard it being called
Odinism in the United States, which I personally do not like. To

me Odinism sounds like, you are believing or praying to one
God but Ásatrú is not just about one God. It should also be said
that even to the Vikings, there were variations in the faith
depending on where you lived. Some of the Vikings began
converting to Christianity after exploring and raiding the coast
of England and France, and towards the end of the Viking age,
almost everyone in Scandinavia was a Christian.
