In danish it is Tysdag-Onsdag-Torsdag and Fredag - in Faroe Islands the last one is Friggjardag. Frigg is the wife of Odin and thus one of the top godesses in Asgard. It is more likely that, having named the other three days for top gods, she would have Friday, rather than Freyja, who is actually not one of the Æsir of Asgard, nor is her brother Freyr - they are Vanir from Vanaheim and live in Asgard as a part of a truce agreement between the two worlds. - There is a day for the sun and a day for the moon - but the last day of the week is reserved for bathing in "pool-day". In the old language "laug" is pool. In Iceland we speek the oldest version of the still remaining norse tongue of the viking age and Laugardagur is pool-day, as sundlaug is swimmingpool. Best wishes.
The Sons of Óðinn: Týr, Heimdallr, Þórr (Thor), Meili, Bragi, Baldr, Höðr, Hermóðr, Víðarr, and Váli. People always forget Meili, Þórr's only full blooded brother.
Thanks! I have a few more videos from Norse Mythology like: th-cam.com/video/XcKL6raCeGs/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/IGftJMRO4yE/w-d-xo.html . Usually I add 1 video per week, I hope than in the next several weeks to add again a Norse mythology related video.
My friend as one myself, going on about a decade, this video has lots of misinformation, like for an example, right out the gate, he says "Baldr is the wisest and noblest of the Gods" not true, he's not the wisest, he's the most beloved and kindest. Or "He lived in the Breidablik area of heaven where no evil could touch him." Not even true, he did live there, but it's not heaven nor even close to one. And no harm could come his way, not because of where he lives, but because of what Frigga did. Try reading the sagas and eddas before hopping on the internet, hell, if you want an actual good source of information from a content creator, look up Ocean Keltoi, he's a good one. But avoid Wisdom of Odin, Jacob is apart of the AFA.
@@LordWednesday02 i have a question for you if you have the time, it may turn out to be kind of long. were there any gods; perhaps in this vid or not, that were written of after the christian conversion? i am to understand that some of the stories came after christian conversion and were therefore written just for the fun of it. were any new gods that you know of created also (and therefore not part of the actual old religion) and IF so, is there a way to make this distinction? thanx.
I dont believe I saw Modi or Magni...or Hela? Now if I remember properly Modi & Magni were sons of Thor, Magni was strength & Modi was combat/battle both lesser deities. Hela on the other hand was Goddess of death a greater god.

Excellent overview though you do get some minor items wrong. Freyr and Freyja are not "gods" of Asgard (Æsir plural - Ás singular) but Vanir from Vanaheim, living in Asgard as per a truce between the two rival worlds. Baldur's death was not an accident. "Iduna" is named "Iðunn" (the wife of Bragi) and "Gna" is "Gná" (sounds like "now" with a "g" in front). Loki is not a god but the son of giants and the adopted son of Odin. But well done and please continue the good work.
Thank you for all the details. Very much appreciate! Regarding Freyr and Freyja, I know, I gave here: th-cam.com/video/rpjkq6hoWsg/w-d-xo.html all the details regarding the fact they are not native gods of Asgard :). Thanks again!
@@raul88.88 Ok - and from what source do you have this incredible bit of information? The bulk of what is known today about norse mythology is found in the Eddas of Snorri Sturluson. Loki is detailed in the narrative Gylfaginning and in the poems Völuspá, Lokasenna and Skáldskaparmál. The only mention of Loki and Odin being in any resemblance of brotherhood is from Lokasenna. Loki has crashed a party at Ægir's place and all the gods are there except Þór, who was busy fighting trolls in the east. In the poem Loki demands a seat but Odins sons Bragi and Viðar are sitting there already. Loki then says: "Mantu þat, Óðinn, er vit í árdaga blendom blóði saman? ölvi bergia léztu eigi mundo, nema okr væri báðom borit." Roughly: [Do you remember Odin when we in early days mixed our blood and drank the ale you wouldn't partake unless we both were served"] This by no means confirms that there was a blood bond between them - or what was more commonly referred to as "fóstbræður" [fosterbrothers] and there is no mention of this in other narrative. The ramblings of Loki in the feast are those of a drunken frenzy and are most likely composed by a christian poet in an attempt to ridicule the heathens and their old ways. He tells each of the gods to shut up before he humiliates them and he even gets Þór's ultimate demise wrong, when he calls him a coward in his inevitable battle with the wolf (Fenrisúlfur) when in Ragnarökkr Þór actually fights Jörmungandur (the Miðgarsormur) and dies soon after that. Loki's origin is quite detailed. He was the son of Laufey (and is named Laufeyjarson after his mother) and Fárbauti. They were jötuns from jötunheim but Loki lived in Ásgarður and is most often regarded as one of the Æsir despite his being a Jötun. This would indicate that Odin had some say in the matter as he ruled Ásgarður. Loki is not regarded as Odins peer but has a similar status as Þór. It is therefor more plausible to refer to him as Þór's adopted "brother" than to speak of him and Odin as blood- (or foster-) brothers. In Gylfaginning chapter 33 it says "Sá er enn taldur með ásum er sumir kalla rógbera ásanna og frumkveða flærðanna og vömm allra goða og manna. Sá er nefndur Loki eða Loftur, sonur Fárbauta jötuns. Móðir hans er Laufey eða Nál, bræður hans eru þeir Býleistur og Heldblindi. Loki er fríður og fagur sýnum, illur í skaplyndi, mjög fjölbreytinn að háttum. Hann hafði þá speki umfram aðra menn er slægð heitir og vélar til allra hluta. Hann kom ásum jafnan í fullt vandræði, og oft leysti hann þá með vélræðum. Kona hans heitir Sigyn, sonur þeirra Nari eða Narfi." It translates roughly as: "There is one who is counted with the Æsir [the gods og Ásgarður] and some call the slanderer of the Æsir and the originator of deceit and dishonour of all gods and men. He is named Loki or Loftur, the son of the jötun Fárbauti. His mother is Laufey or Nál, his brothers are Býleistur and Helblindi. Loki is handsome and attractive, foul tempered, diverse in his ways. He has that trait called duplicity and cheats in all things. He always gets the Æsir into trouble and often out of trouble with trickery. His wife's name is Sygin and their son is Nari or Narfi". Loki travels with Odin and Hænir and also with Þór on many occasions. His offspring by the troll Angurboða are regarded as dangerous to the gods and to men and they are banished from the realm of the gods. They are Fenrisúlfur, Jörmungandur (the MIðgarðsormur) and Hel. Loki is not a god - he is a jötun and is allowed to live in Asgard only by the grace of Odin. Therefore it is not entirely wrong to speak of him as Odin's adopted son. The two of them are not "blóðbróðir" (bloodbrothers) but Þór and Loki however often are brother's in arms.
@@howser1961 what source ? Bro, every nose soruce says the same: Loki and Odin are not son and father, they are blood brothers. Yes, Loki is the son of giants, as Odin is the son of Bór, the grandson of Búri...but only in the Marvel comics they are related. In all the norse sagas, they made a pact by blood to call themselves brothers.
Well all the goddesses he talks about in the video and some that were not used in the video: Freya Frigg Sif Hel/Hella Iduna/idunn Ran the goddess of the sea and wife of the other sea God Aegir Thrud and Lorride the Daughters of Thor Sigrun Sigyn a Midgardian/Human and the Loki's wife Nana the Baldur's Wife Skadi Goddess of the hunt Sinmara the wife of Surtur the fire giant and She is a frost giant Angrboda a giant goddess and one of Loki's wives the Frigg's helpers/Followers: Fulla Hlin Gna Gefjon Var Vor Lofn Sjofn Syn and Snotra and the end Sun/Sunna the Sun Goddess and Nott the Goddess of the Night these are all the female goddesses of Norse mythology like and Bye!
while Zeus' best feat is defeating a mountain-sized monster, Odin's best feat is defeating a monster as big as nine worlds. Odin outclasses Zeus in intelligence, versatility, strength, and weapons. Zeus simply can't compete.
Missing others gods like: Njord/Aegir,Hermod,Sif and Hodr + the sons of Loki and Thor Make a part 2 how sad that most of all these Gods They should be in the 2 games in god of war 4 and Ragnarok I hope that in the future in a DLC or god of war 6 they appear,as they are very important and would give a great revenge after Asgard is destroyed And the death of Odin and Thor like and Bye!
If I were a pagan worshiper, the God's I would choose to serve are the Norse God's. They're more decent than the Greek Gods. You would here mostly tales about their adventures and battles.
@@filthycasual8187 T%he two do not contradict as much as they agree and they are indeed the best (if not the only) source of information an the norse mythology.
I thought Loki tricked Thor into shooting a mistletoe arrow into Baldur? Also, curious that the raven is a symbol of Odin, and the raven is also the Creation spirit in Native American mythology. He's also a trickster, like Loki... Very curious crossovers from geographically distant cultures, especially since the vikings did land in Canada WAY before Columbus or others came along. Maybe there was influence?
No there was no influence of the whole raven creation this, just a coincidence, and it was the blind god Hothr (Ho-dth-er) his brother that killed him cause Loki, and he didn't throw it, he used an arrow that had a mistletoe on it that killed him.
@@LordWednesday02 OK, thanks for clearing that up...but I never mentioned anything about throwing arrows or anything, so not sure what you're referring to there.
Im trying to find figures and gods of norse mythology to make like a shazam out of it sense shazam is an acronym of gods or important figures that give captain marvel or black adam all their powers
so through experience on the internet it's full of misinformation and dumbasses, so I recommend is to just read the old sagas and eddas and call it a day, I've been researching old norse religion, culture and history for about a decade and I can tell you that there are only a few reliable sources of information for content creators on the internet. Cause most of them are either full of themselves, complete bull or na*i propaganda.
Hmm? I was playing a game of scrabble earlier on my tablet and the computer placed the word "as" down, and at the top of the screen the words definition came up, saying "As, a Nordic god" and i thought hmm, that's strange? never heard "as" being defined like that before, and never heard of a nordic god named "As", so hence why i am watching your video, I was waiting to hear you start with the letter A, but it went straight to B? So does that mean there is no nordic god named As? Then why did my tablet scrabble game give the definition of the word As, as a nordic god??? Well weird?
This video skipped a good handful of norse gods and goddesses. So probably not the best place to look for your answer. The best attempts to write the mythology down come in the form of the Eddas and the Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson. He was an Icelandic historian, poet and politician who lived in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. I personally have not heard of a noise god by the name of As but it's possible they were mentioned briefly somewhere. Most of norse mythology and what we know of their gods want written down until some time after the viking age, do to it being passed down verbally instead of written until Snorri wrote it down of course. Art work also helped us note the more popular deities so maybe As was such a lesser deity that only a handful of people worshiped them enough to get a mention in a footnote somewhere leading to your scrabble game pulling that out their rear lol. If you happen to find the info you are searching for I'd love to know it, I love norse mythology and even i have not learned all there is yet 😁 happy hunting
Hi thanks for the reply to my comment it said As was from Asguard, think that's how it's spelt. I found a lot of info on the Norse gods in relation to the kings of both Wales and Brition, deriving from the "gods" and giants, whilst looking into ancestry sites, funny how they mention the se.charators.Yet at the same e time saying they are myths? It seems most of the kings were descendants of these giants and "god" For instance Lord of Rayleigh Robert Fitzsvein de Essex born 1085-1132 who ancestors were Rollo Thurston "Brico" Rollo the Viking 885-945 Further down the line Ivar Halfdansson Earl of Uplands 770 Oppland, Norway Halfdan "the aged" king of Sweden son of Sveide "the sea king" Heytirsson, horse Viking king 650 Raumsdal Norway Further down this kind Fornjotur king of Kvenland 160-250 Furniture the great king of Kvenland Also.referred to in the Orkneyingo Saga 1230 Old Russian tales.tell of a Finnish Prince who hired a giant to help him conquer Russia from Estonia to Kiev,the giants name was Calewa (Kaleva) After finishing this task the Prince gave the giant Kvenland as his own kingdom. Fornjut may be the Paper of the Kalevala.saga?? "The serpent beats the waves, and the eagle screams eagerly splitting corspes with its pale.beak. Naglfar, the giants ship, is released. That ship sails from the east, bearing giants over the se, and Loki is it's captain. The giants are coming!!..." Voluspa (the poetic edda) Fornjut had three sons, Hler known as Aegir, Logi, and Kari. Logi might also be Loki? As I found during my research the names recorded are slightly different in other searches? As well as the cira recorded as the time they were born?
@@Dice_roller Maybe. He's called Hymir's son once, and Óðinn's more often. The most likely scenario is that Hymir was Týr's foster father and his wife, Hróðr, is his biological mother along with Óðinn as the biological father. Fostering a hero was a relatively common thing at the time, which adds potential for that possibility, as well as the fact that Týr was the top god before Óðinn became popular, so it would be odd for him to be knocked down to having just Jötunn as parents like Loki instead of being related to the main gods.
He's English. They always pronounce things with the English letter variation. So, strictly speaking, in British English, j is pronounced with the silent g sound. In American English, we like to pronounce words the correct way, in their language of origin. So, when we say Mjolnir, we pronounce the J like y.
@@lorettadunne210 It's still based on English rules. The voice is a British English accent. Computer generated voices use whatever grammar is programed into them. English rules are in play, here. That is why it was butchered.
I am Confused on why people think this is All Ancient it is In this life as well that is where all the ❤confusion in ! I am mad people aren't speaking Their truths 😢
I have 9 out of 10 of these traits probably a coincidence not loki most vikings are crazy in some sort of good way but he was definitely the bad apple cool name though.
How did Norse gods come about? Who named them and their roles?Obviously GOD and religion comes from ancient books, so how did Norse gods come about. What made people believe they're real without scripture. How did so many people believe of them with no foundations? Tryed looking but nothing shows.
Most likely spread through stories told from generation to generation, going back all they way to when the first indo-europeans reach the Europa. Which is why there are similarities in many religions stretching from Europe to India. That's how I understand it.
Thor is the entity ruling the earth now, Loki is "Satan", Baldur is the serpent of Eden, Freya is Jezebel/ISIS from Egypt or Athena from Greece. We called them gods yesterday, we call them extraterrestrials or aliens today.
@@goldenghost2676 I'll try to make it as simple as possible since the long story is... Really long. The entity known as Marduk in Sumeria and Azazel in Enoch, (also Zeus) established a forbidden Kingdom on earth in modern day Iraq. He had sex and raped human women and begat the Nephilim/Titans, who then engineered what we know as the dinosaurs. Marduk/Azazel then built a space station which specialized in anti-gravity. Many other performances to anti-gravity than just floating, you can travel through time and teleport. This was known as the Tower of Babel. Marduk's plan was to trick mankind into worshipping him and teleport to the Elohim/Alayam's Station and kill The Commander to take over the universe. The Commander (who we know as 'the lord') of the Elohim/Alayam sent nuclear missiles and destroyed Azazel's civilization. If you research India, there's a buried village that looks hella sus. Vitrification of sand, levels of radiation, skeletons holding hands on the floor etc.. Ever since then, Azazel has been in charge of Earth till this day. That's why everything is the way it is.

"Iduna" is named "Iðunn" (the wife of Bragi) and "Gna" is "Gná" (sounds like "now" with a "g" in front). Loki is not a god but the son of giants and the adopted son of Odin. But well done and please continue the good work.
Thank you for all the details. Very much appreciate! Regarding Freyr and Freyja, I know, I gave here: th-cam.com/video/rpjkq6hoWsg/w-d-xo.html all the details regarding the fact they are not native gods of Asgard :). Thanks again!
@@MythosTheHistorian Your work is excellent - much appreciated.
Loki is not the adopted son of Odin, that's only in Marvel movies. Loki and Odin are something called "blođbroddir"s
@@raul88.88 Ok - and from what source do you have this incredible bit of information?
The bulk of what is known today about norse mythology is found in the Eddas of Snorri Sturluson. Loki is detailed in the narrative Gylfaginning and in the poems Völuspá, Lokasenna and Skáldskaparmál. The only mention of Loki and Odin being in any resemblance of brotherhood is from Lokasenna. Loki has crashed a party at Ægir's place and all the gods are there except Þór, who was busy fighting trolls in the east. In the poem Loki demands a seat but Odins sons Bragi and Viðar are sitting there already.
Loki then says:
"Mantu þat, Óðinn,
er vit í árdaga
blendom blóði saman?
ölvi bergia
léztu eigi mundo,
nema okr væri báðom borit."
Roughly:
[Do you remember Odin
when we in early days
mixed our blood
and drank the ale
you wouldn't partake
unless we both were served"]
This by no means confirms that there was a blood bond between them - or what was more commonly referred to as "fóstbræður" [fosterbrothers] and there is no mention of this in other narrative. The ramblings of Loki in the feast are those of a drunken frenzy and are most likely composed by a christian poet in an attempt to ridicule the heathens and their old ways. He tells each of the gods to shut up before he humiliates them and he even gets Þór's ultimate demise wrong, when he calls him a coward in his inevitable battle with the wolf (Fenrisúlfur) when in Ragnarökkr Þór actually fights Jörmungandur (the Miðgarsormur) and dies soon after that.
Loki's origin is quite detailed. He was the son of Laufey (and is named Laufeyjarson after his mother) and Fárbauti. They were jötuns from jötunheim but Loki lived in Ásgarður and is most often regarded as one of the Æsir despite his being a Jötun. This would indicate that Odin had some say in the matter as he ruled Ásgarður. Loki is not regarded as Odins peer but has a similar status as Þór. It is therefor more plausible to refer to him as Þór's adopted "brother" than to speak of him and Odin as blood- (or foster-) brothers.
In Gylfaginning chapter 33 it says "Sá er enn taldur með ásum er sumir kalla rógbera ásanna og frumkveða flærðanna og vömm allra goða og manna. Sá er nefndur Loki eða Loftur, sonur Fárbauta jötuns. Móðir hans er Laufey eða Nál, bræður hans eru þeir Býleistur og Heldblindi. Loki er fríður og fagur sýnum, illur í skaplyndi, mjög fjölbreytinn að háttum. Hann hafði þá speki umfram aðra menn er slægð heitir og vélar til allra hluta. Hann kom ásum jafnan í fullt vandræði, og oft leysti hann þá með vélræðum. Kona hans heitir Sigyn, sonur þeirra Nari eða Narfi."
It translates roughly as: "There is one who is counted with the Æsir [the gods og Ásgarður] and some call the slanderer of the Æsir and the originator of deceit and dishonour of all gods and men. He is named Loki or Loftur, the son of the jötun Fárbauti. His mother is Laufey or Nál, his brothers are Býleistur and Helblindi. Loki is handsome and attractive, foul tempered, diverse in his ways. He has that trait called duplicity and cheats in all things. He always gets the Æsir into trouble and often out of trouble with trickery. His wife's name is Sygin and their son is Nari or Narfi".
Loki travels with Odin and Hænir and also with Þór on many occasions. His offspring by the troll Angurboða are regarded as dangerous to the gods and to men and they are banished from the realm of the gods. They are Fenrisúlfur, Jörmungandur (the MIðgarðsormur) and Hel.
Loki is not a god - he is a jötun and is allowed to live in Asgard only by the grace of Odin. Therefore it is not entirely wrong to speak of him as Odin's adopted son. The two of them are not "blóðbróðir" (bloodbrothers) but Þór and Loki however often are brother's in arms.
@@howser1961 what source ? Bro, every nose soruce says the same: Loki and Odin are not son and father, they are blood brothers. Yes, Loki is the son of giants, as Odin is the son of Bór, the grandson of Búri...but only in the Marvel comics they are related. In all the norse sagas, they made a pact by blood to call themselves brothers.
I'm 4 minutes in, and there are 4 gods of fertility.
Giggity
And Loki is basically one of them XD
Vidar, as in Gundam Vidar from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans?

What happened to Hela and Sif
Who would win between Zeus and Odin?
while Zeus' best feat is defeating a mountain-sized monster, Odin's best feat is defeating a monster as big as nine worlds. Odin outclasses Zeus in intelligence, versatility, strength, and weapons. Zeus simply can't compete.
Missing others gods like: Njord/Aegir,Hermod,Sif and Hodr + the sons of Loki and Thor Make a part 2 how sad that most of all these Gods They should be in the 2 games in god of war 4 and Ragnarok I hope that in the future in a DLC or god of war 6 they appear,as they are very important and would give a great revenge after Asgard is destroyed And the death of Odin and Thor like and Bye!
If I were a pagan worshiper, the God's I would choose to serve are the Norse God's. They're more decent than the Greek Gods. You would here mostly tales about their adventures and battles.
Nice to see someone researched the Poetic Edda. I'm not so sure its the best reflection of norse pangonism.
The Poetic Edda *is* the best reflection. It's the Prose Edda that's less reliable.
@@filthycasual8187 T%he two do not contradict as much as they agree and they are indeed the best (if not the only) source of information an the norse mythology.
I thought Loki tricked Thor into shooting a mistletoe arrow into Baldur?
Also, curious that the raven is a symbol of Odin, and the raven is also the Creation spirit in Native American mythology. He's also a trickster, like Loki...
Very curious crossovers from geographically distant cultures, especially since the vikings did land in Canada WAY before Columbus or others came along. Maybe there was influence?
He tricked a blind God I think
No there was no influence of the whole raven creation this, just a coincidence, and it was the blind god Hothr (Ho-dth-er) his brother that killed him cause Loki, and he didn't throw it, he used an arrow that had a mistletoe on it that killed him.
@@LordWednesday02 OK, thanks for clearing that up...but I never mentioned anything about throwing arrows or anything, so not sure what you're referring to there.
@@davejones9469 I was saying that the guy got it wrong, Loki in disguise tricked Hothr into shooting an arrow into Baldr that had a mistletoe on it
@@LordWednesday02 Ah, I missed he messed that detail up...probably as I was writing my original comment. Who throws an arrow? Or a twig? Lol.
Was Frigg more central than Odin?
From what we could tell, no.
Likely not
Thanks man. I come here to learn about God Of War (if you know what i mean) :D
Anyone have any info on a God or a servant of a God with one red and one green eye?
Also Njord, Aegir and Ran were missing :)
Can you distinguish which ones are aesir and which are vanir
Njǫrðr, Freyr & Freyja, are the only Vanir deities here.
I'm confused. Why are there two Gods with basically the same name and god of the same thing.
Did I miss Hela? Or did they?
Modi or Magni or Hel I don’t think you spoke on
Wy didn't he say the story on how tyr lost his hand. I kinda thought it was funny
you can find that story here: th-cam.com/video/XcKL6raCeGs/w-d-xo.html :)
Im trying to find figures and gods of norse mythology to make like a shazam out of it sense shazam is an acronym of gods or important figures that give captain marvel or black adam all their powers
Where is buri, borr and bestla
thank you
Why did you not say from A to æ
man...so much to learn im just getting into a norse pagan lol.
Same here. Currently trying to figure out who I might be closest to. It's now between Freya and loki
Thor and Freya I identify with the most but pray to all of them
Take your time friend, I've been practicing since 18 (I'm 22 now) and there is lots and lots to be learned.
so through experience on the internet it's full of misinformation and dumbasses, so I recommend is to just read the old sagas and eddas and call it a day, I've been researching old norse religion, culture and history for about a decade and I can tell you that there are only a few reliable sources of information for content creators on the internet. Cause most of them are either full of themselves, complete bull or na*i propaganda.
Hmm?
I was playing a game of scrabble earlier on my tablet and the computer placed the word "as" down, and at the top of the screen the words definition came up, saying "As, a Nordic god" and i thought hmm, that's strange? never heard "as" being defined like that before, and never heard of a nordic god named "As", so hence why i am watching your video, I was waiting to hear you start with the letter A, but it went straight to B?
So does that mean there is no nordic god named As?
Then why did my tablet scrabble game give the definition of the word As, as a nordic god???
Well weird?
sorry i meant norse god
This video skipped a good handful of norse gods and goddesses. So probably not the best place to look for your answer. The best attempts to write the mythology down come in the form of the Eddas and the Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson. He was an Icelandic historian, poet and politician who lived in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. I personally have not heard of a noise god by the name of As but it's possible they were mentioned briefly somewhere. Most of norse mythology and what we know of their gods want written down until some time after the viking age, do to it being passed down verbally instead of written until Snorri wrote it down of course. Art work also helped us note the more popular deities so maybe As was such a lesser deity that only a handful of people worshiped them enough to get a mention in a footnote somewhere leading to your scrabble game pulling that out their rear lol. If you happen to find the info you are searching for I'd love to know it, I love norse mythology and even i have not learned all there is yet 😁 happy hunting
Hi thanks for the reply to my comment it said As was from Asguard, think that's how it's spelt.
I found a lot of info on the Norse gods in relation to the kings of both Wales and Brition, deriving from the "gods" and giants, whilst looking into ancestry sites, funny how they mention the se.charators.Yet at the same e time saying they are myths?
It seems most of the kings were descendants of these giants and "god"
For instance Lord of Rayleigh Robert Fitzsvein de Essex born 1085-1132 who ancestors were Rollo Thurston "Brico" Rollo the Viking 885-945
Further down the line Ivar Halfdansson Earl of Uplands 770 Oppland, Norway
Halfdan "the aged" king of Sweden
son of Sveide "the sea king" Heytirsson, horse Viking king 650 Raumsdal Norway
Further down this kind Fornjotur king of Kvenland 160-250
Furniture the great king of Kvenland
Also.referred to in the Orkneyingo Saga 1230
Old Russian tales.tell of a Finnish Prince who hired a giant to help him conquer Russia from Estonia to Kiev,the giants name was Calewa (Kaleva)
After finishing this task the Prince gave the giant Kvenland as his own kingdom.
Fornjut may be the Paper of the Kalevala.saga??
"The serpent beats the waves, and the eagle screams eagerly splitting corspes with its pale.beak.
Naglfar, the giants ship, is released. That ship sails from the east, bearing giants over the se, and Loki is it's captain. The giants are coming!!..."
Voluspa (the poetic edda)
Fornjut had three sons, Hler known as Aegir, Logi, and Kari.
Logi might also be Loki?
As I found during my research the names recorded are slightly different in other searches?
As well as the cira recorded as the time they were born?
There's a lot more Norse gods than what Marvel uses.
cause marvel sucks, and bastardized the pantheon
Týr is the son of Odin an a giantess named Hröðr! Wher are Sif, as well Njörðr, Höðr, Hermóðr and the goddess Hel?
No, Týr is the son of Hymir not Óðinn.
it is not known for sure :): th-cam.com/video/8FvykAw0d8g/w-d-xo.html
@@MythosTheHistorian It is divisive. Both could be true.
@@Dice_roller Maybe. He's called Hymir's son once, and Óðinn's more often. The most likely scenario is that Hymir was Týr's foster father and his wife, Hróðr, is his biological mother along with Óðinn as the biological father. Fostering a hero was a relatively common thing at the time, which adds potential for that possibility, as well as the fact that Týr was the top god before Óðinn became popular, so it would be odd for him to be knocked down to having just Jötunn as parents like Loki instead of being related to the main gods.
@@Dice_roller Óðinn's sons are Týr, Heimdallr, Þórr, Meili, Bragi, Baldr, Höðr, Hermóðr, Víðarr, and Váli.
i am just looking a name for my cat
This isn't all of the gods but great job
You missed atleast Njord
- the god of the seas, wind and fish
This is the teaching in is the god of fortress as the angel told the prophet Daniel who said the anitchrist would worship the god of fortress
Where is Sif
Wait what about Sigyn
Bro butchered mjolnir
He's English. They always pronounce things with the English letter variation. So, strictly speaking, in British English, j is pronounced with the silent g sound. In American English, we like to pronounce words the correct way, in their language of origin. So, when we say Mjolnir, we pronounce the J like y.
@@Ash.Crow.Goddess mate, this guy isn't using his real voice, it's computer generated. I can say it right.
@@lorettadunne210 It's still based on English rules. The voice is a British English accent. Computer generated voices use whatever grammar is programed into them. English rules are in play, here. That is why it was butchered.
Greek gods stories for sailors and fishermen . So said a man named calimari , whitefish.
Where's Hel goddess of death caretaker of the dead ????????
now i know hel is loki's daughter
Why didn't you mention Angrboda?
Because she is not a god, she is a giant
Frigg and freya are 2 people ?!?! 😵💀
I missed Hel, goddess of death_
Where's Loki
Thor story line
.... And nothing for Sigyn???
Thank you so much for this video. As an ecclectic Pagan, this makes it so much easier to understand a very complex topic and work it into my faith!
why do the gods still die. I thought gods were immortal
Gods are usually portrayed as being vulnerable against other godlike entities.
Greek gods are immortal not Norse gods
Its like a combination of different stereo type and behavior or human kind!hard to say they are gods
Or this are the angles not GOD
Human gods will behave like humans. That's usually how it is. Even the abrahamic god has strong human characteristics.
I don’t find it hard to say they are gods at all, having some imperfections doesn’t change that they are and always will be gods.
I didn’t even hear of these Gods.
Wow they made assassins creed Valhalla in real life 😮
Hel?
Mimir?
And Odin is also god of nolage
Balder is not the wisest god. Kvaser is

I have 9 out of 10 of these traits probably a coincidence not loki most vikings are crazy in some sort of good way but he was definitely the bad apple cool name though.
How did Norse gods come about? Who named them and their roles?Obviously GOD and religion comes from ancient books, so how did Norse gods come about. What made people believe they're real without scripture. How did so many people believe of them with no foundations? Tryed looking but nothing shows.
Most likely spread through stories told from generation to generation, going back all they way to when the first indo-europeans reach the Europa. Which is why there are similarities in many religions stretching from Europe to India. That's how I understand it.
Thor is the entity ruling the earth now, Loki is "Satan", Baldur is the serpent of Eden, Freya is Jezebel/ISIS from Egypt or Athena from Greece.
We called them gods yesterday, we call them extraterrestrials or aliens today.

@@goldenghost2676 what's so hard to understand bruh?
@@Raven7400 just about everything? Is this some other kind of religion? Is it just comparing the Norse gods to other things? What is this
@@goldenghost2676
I'll try to make it as simple as possible since the long story is... Really long.
The entity known as Marduk in Sumeria and Azazel in Enoch, (also Zeus) established a forbidden Kingdom on earth in modern day Iraq. He had sex and raped human women and begat the Nephilim/Titans, who then engineered what we know as the dinosaurs.
Marduk/Azazel then built a space station which specialized in anti-gravity. Many other performances to anti-gravity than just floating, you can travel through time and teleport.
This was known as the Tower of Babel.
Marduk's plan was to trick mankind into worshipping him and teleport to the Elohim/Alayam's Station and kill The Commander to take over the universe.
The Commander (who we know as 'the lord') of the Elohim/Alayam sent nuclear missiles and destroyed Azazel's civilization.
If you research India, there's a buried village that looks hella sus. Vitrification of sand, levels of radiation, skeletons holding hands on the floor etc..
Ever since then, Azazel has been in charge of Earth till this day.
That's why everything is the way it is.
@@Raven7400 so is this your religion? Like is this what you believe
