Norse Mythology 1 Creation of the Universe 

The higher man It's not gorwing as a religion, it's being accepted for fun, not many actually believe in that. A friend of mine is studying scandinavian cultures, languages and religion, and she has told me a lot about it. It's not really a religion of believers, it's a mockery of religion.

***** no, it's not for fucking fun, you think it died? it didn't, more and more people are converting, do some research before commenting.

***** No, It is a real religion. It's a branch of Paganism. Many believe it. Most interpret the stories as ways to coop with life. A lot of wisdom comes from these stories and writings. I suggest, even if you aren't someone to commit to our troth, reading the Havamal. Neo-Germanic Paganism/Heathenry/Asatru/Wotanism/etc should not be confused with other things such as Pastafarianism.

I know,I believe in this.

+Stephanie Poison It must be hard for you to see with those make up on

same here in Iceland.

Amazing!!!

ᚹᚺᛁᛏᛖ ᛈᚱᛁᛞᛖ CZ I am actually a socialist not a communist, and an atheist agnostic as well. So I, somehow, agree, as I don't deny nor accept any religion, so I respect them but I don't take them too seriously, so (and please don't misinterpret me, I'm not meant to offend anybody) I would treat all religions as mythology, judaism, christianism, islam, hinduism, paganism (I use this word in its orthodox sense, again no means of offense), satanism, etc, but with respect. So I guess there's gotta be place for all, even between socialists and national socialists. Or what do you say?

May the gods be with u as well

Thank You

ja ass det er stilig!!

JostePoP Unnskyld meg

typisk idioti

Haha☺

Try rubbing your feet together.

+Phoenix van der Weyden Yay ^^ I am Austrian and as fun fact the revival of the norse religuion started in Austria in 1908, almost 70 years before iceland joined. I wish you the best for teaching your children, i sure teach mine about their heritage

Orkar, pls don't be serius. The Norse religion did NOT start 1908 couse if it did that religion would've been made 6 years before ww1.

Svaden, read again. REVIVAL of the norse religion. Interest in old traditions flourished all over Europe during the 19th century, so I'm not so sure about the Austria being first statement though.

no sorry, i'm a atheist

beepboopbam I take it you haven't had any kind of spiritual experience ghost shadow people seeing energy off of people hearing things

intelligent people like you and I already know this. Thank you for commenting. And if anyone is interested in an HONEST interpretation of THIS material, consult Maria Kvilhaug A.K.A the lady of the labyrinth; "Soundwaves and the Big Bang in the Poetic Edda - Hidden Knowledge in Old Norse Myths pt.1" (never trust a christian's version of pagan works)

And who are you insulting a religion? It may be true and it may not be true alright, just don't go against anything, it's the best choice, be neutral towards all religions

There is actually a lot of similarities between the Norse and Judeo-Christian mythologies. It's actually quite startling. There is an inherent truth in these mythologies.

When he the All Father Lord God Creator Odin answers your prayers as Lord Father Jupiter Does you fell that times a million and more.

He was , he loved mythology he was obsessed by it.

Many say Gandalf is based off of Odin.

Kessock11B no his based on the dwarf gandalf

Väinö Jakku No he IS based on Odin, but named after s dwarf

Anglo-Saxon myth, actually. Not that different but hey. Gandalf is a very Christ-like figure, but his name is very Norse-as it was the name of a Dwarf. Tolkien originally wanted 'Gandalf' to be the leader of the Dwarves, but the name was eventually changed to Thorin Oakenshield.

Hebraic mythos is Lies and Fiction based partly off the Babylonian/Mesopotamain and Canaanite and Arab ones before it with little Greek/Hittite dashed in too.

+Kiku no Honda Congratulations. You are among the first viking weeaboos.

+Madmindman //you realize that Germanic pagans had the same religion as the Scandinavian Vikings right and plus I have Swedish in me my ancestors *literally came from Sweden*. . . -.-

I'm Icelandic. I've been raised on this belief. And Germanic pagans only had this belief because they were enlightened. But trust me brother.. If you accept the gods in your heart, you will never know fear or defeat in your life and afterlife.

+Madmindman I am from north germany near denmark i just got my vegvisir and my aegisjalmur tattoos no way back now. i have it in my heart and it feels like i always had. love the edda love iceland

+Madmindman wow amazing I am from Canada coming to iceland next summer. like your thought

Ulysses the courier good for you man

Now you're Theist a True Theist and God Knower and Loved Now. Skal Brother. Praise The True Almighty All High GODS/GODDESSES ETERNAL.

I find this religion astounding more like legend of a religion

@@rickardoramchand6466 Legends for this Subject here can be and are True. Skal Salveté

+gargoyles9999 youd actually be surprised how much northern mythology is in game of Thrones and in special lord of the rings

+Orkar Isber (Estar) And games as "Smite" aswell.

+VIIC Commander easy there now

Clever, clever. I guess you're right.

Or just an 'Immigrant Song'. ;)

Are you a heathen? I am:D I have many heathen friends! Im surpised so many people dont think this religion still exists.

I'm a heretic.

There is no initiation. You just become it if you start to believe in the gods. But in the actualy meaning of the word, if you arent christian, jewish or muslim, you are a heathen

If you're referring to my comment - I did not mean to imply in ANY WAY that Norse spirituality EVER died out. In fact, I incorporate a version of it in my own spiritual understanding and practice. Nevertheless, I do not believe the Norse Creation Myth is literally TRUE - anymore than the Bible's version of Creation is true - or J.R.R. Tolkien's Ainulindalë is literally true for that matter. Myths encode "truths" - not facts. They are collective dreams - not literal history.

are you sure this religion never died out and was reestablished?

***** Because that tree is only mentioned in the beginning. Adam and Eve get booted out of Eden, then it's never mentioned it. Listening to something like this and hearing Odin hung himself from the World Tree and gave one eye for knowledge is *much* more interesting.

The Bible uses imagery differently, but there are more references to the Tree of Life, than you might think. In the Hebrew the word for wood is at times interchangeably used for trees and other wooden items, like Noah's ark, the burning bush that Moses encountered, his staff and in the New Testament the cross is obviously out of wood. Then there are lots of links that show an overlap between trees and humans (in Norse mythology humans are made out of trees). "Be fruitful and multiply". Women were "barren". One title for the Messiah "the branch". Christian imagery takes a bit more effort to awaken in one's mind but the journey is worth it. Tolkien said that all myths point to a reality in one way or the other and this reality is the person of Christ. Currently I am working on a Psalm to remember the victory of Jesus over the serpent. These are some of the ideas, I'm using and yes I borrowed a few images, to subvert them. He is the root and offspring of David and went forth against the spirit of Goliath. The world eater that has multiple poisonous heads to deceive the world was defeated by the One with the double edged sword. The promised seed of Eve came to Gologatha (which means place of the skull) and tore death in two, like Samson killed the lion. The seed feel under the Earth and broke forth as a tree with a crown in Heaven and fruits for everyone who has breath on the Earth. The Mountain, which was the enemie's dominion, was conquered by the Tree of Life. Death was put to death and the serpent got it's teeth knocked out. The LORD has spread out His right arm (a title for the Messiah in Isaiah) to judge the Earth and heal its wounds. As Chesterton said: There are no uninteresting topics, just uninterested people. ^^

+radha „phantomhive19“ yap hes quite incorrect with some stuff though. Maybe i can interest you to take a look at my channel. Ill do loki in the future^^

I'll do check them out. Thanks so much ♡

Try god of war 4, its pretty good

it may seem strange to you but Christians believe a man came back to life. so. yeah.

It's not weird, it's just funny xD

+Kilroy coming back to life and ur foot fucking is no where near each other

+Corey Dwayne they're about as far fetched

+Kilroy and the sun and the moon is 2 gods on carrots getting chased by wolf's 😂😂still getting crazier

Ye, Ragnar lotbrok is awesome.

***** yeah, but this show vikings is a real happened event.

Aslan Balkar they confuse facts. For example Rollo was real, but he wasn't Ragnar's brother.

Alexander Salt Ragnar never baptised thats a lie.

Aslan Balkar It's not an actual factually accurate story. Many sources point towards Ragnar Lodbrok being a real person, but the show Vikings portrays the Viking age very poorly. Sadly now there are many people running around wishing and thinking they're Vikings, because they think they know so much about the subject. To us Asatruar who have been following our troth since before the show came out, we've started to be labeled with the rest of the crowd, and thus we are thought of as a joke. The show does stray a little from Holywood's version of the Norsemen. But it's still far from what historically happened. If you feel inclined to learn more, I strongly encourage you to delve deeper into the history and lore of Scandinavia. Even if you don't follow the faith, it still offers amazing stories, and tales.

The Almighty Gods the Creators All Father Odin and Lord God Thor Bless.

lol solid comment.

We don't take our Edda's literally like SOME people do.........

@@amandapeterson8657 You just repeated what I said. Lol

@@anomalyunit4637 I know, I was just saying something similar in agreement.

@@amandapeterson8657 I just found it funny 😂

charles brace *you're dumb

viking? och om du inte är nordisk så gills det inte

Darth Kaujas you do realize that modern Norwegian is nothing like Old Norse right?.

oliskranz yeah i am not stupid

British? o3o News to me :D

so did the british and you forgot iceland and greenland

British was Christians. Norwegian Vikings used to pillage and kill them

Ralph Nilsen Celtic and Pict (Scots) had their own sets of Gods.. very similar to Norse Gods. English were Christians.

Iacob MacAnndrais english had a folklore too

Damn milk-drinker.

Non Profit it's called lactose intolerance ;)

We jǫtnar grow up and stop eating kids food. Milk is for kids to grow. Cows-milk is worth much more if fed to calves to produce meat. Imperialists treat their population as kids until they die so they stay naive and humble.

Non Profit milk is the evil tool of the government. Or, it's good and good for you, plus aids with income for farmers and aids in the health of the cows because over full udders are bad for them. Also, cows with calves don't get milked for human consumption until after the calves are weened off. Damn Imperialists.

mikefulcher03AUG2000 I don't care about any of that. My families genes are not made to drink milk. Never was. Never will be. The empire keeps its people as children so they dont feel they have to take responsability and be a maluable slave. One of many ways to make you continue to feel like a kid is to make you produce the same substances in your body eventhough they are supposed to change when you grow up. Also, i must laugh at your obvious lie "MILK INDUSTRY IS GOOD FOR COWS" lol wtf? When the cow no longer have pain in its udders from overproducing milk they just slaughter it. For one year they suck the udders and they have selectively breed them to have insanely heavy udders with uncofortable production of large ammounts of milk, way too fast .

yep

How the fuck did you guys know? It was shown only yesterday in E3

+Chase Simmons there were leaks even before it was announced

+Chase Simmons leaks, I knew that it's gonna be about Norse gods months ago

Yeah there could be some epic movies, like lotr. This reminds me a lot of silmarillion. Tolkien borrowed a lot from this

They really should i agree with you

+TheAtheistSwine well there's a tv series called Vikings that mentions the gods a lot

+Fridrik Karl and christian monk for his early days

They just picked two "opposing" elements. Yin and yang is black and white. You can interpret it however you want, but its just your interpretation.

TSO Liot Oh please, it's just tales made for fun by comedy writers, have you read that thing?

+Stephanie Poison To say that norse mythology is purely comedy, shows that you don't really have much knowledge of history.
