Little-known Old Norse Stories #7 Sorcerer Trolls

We do not present here the gods of Old Norse mythology, our stories are not about Freyja, Thor or Loki, but common mortal Norsemen. Our channel offers the unique experience to recount stories coming right from the Old Norse sagas. Throughout these videos we use a word-for-word translation of the original manuscripts, rather than renderings produced for the purposes of scientific study, entertainment, or artistic purposes. Every text quoted here from the sagas, have been wholly translated by us.
*Jötun*: in the Norse mythology the name 'jötnar' (plural) should be seen as designating a separate race that is neither god, nor human. The word 'jötun' is generally translated “giant” both in the stories, and in the professional literature, a solution that is misleading. In English, the word “giant” is applied to a person who is much larger or stronger than a normal human. In the sagas, however, the Jötnar are not generally described as being large. Though the tales do not make them seem particularly friendly, this cannot be construed as implying appreciable size.
