Thor, Balder, Loki, Odin, Hemidall, Frigg,
And Freya. Who were they and what did they do?
This is Thor. He is god of lightning
and fighting. Thor’s hammer is named
Mjolner. It was given to him by Loki,
and forged by dwarves. his wife is
Freya.
This is Odin. He is father of most gods. He
can speak only in poetry. Odin stole the mead
of poetry from the giants, which allows him to
erect beautiful poetry. He is able to see runes
(powerfully charged symbols). He only has
one eye, for he sacrificed the other for wisdom.
Odin is accompanied by two crows, Hugin &
Munin. He is known as the “allfather”.
This is balder. He is god of Joy, Purity Beauty, and
innocence. Most stories of him, concern his death. He
was dreaming about his death, so Frigg extracted an
oath, from every animal saying they would not harm
balder, besides mistletoe. The gods were happy about
this so they threw spears, shot arrows, and threw
knives at him. Loki, feeling jealous, fashioned a dart
from the mistletoe plant. He then guided balder’s blind
brother Hod to throw the dart at Balder.
This is Frigg. She is Odin’s wife, and mother of
balder. the word “Friday” originated from Frigg
This is Hemidall. He is the gatekeeper of the
Bifrost. The Bifrost is the rainbow bridge
that leads to asgard. He requires less sleep
than a bird, can see 100 leagues, can hear
grass growing in a faraway field, and can
hear wool growing on a sheep
This is Tyr. He is god of war, and
lawgiver of the gods. He sacrifices his
hand so fenric can be bound. I will talk
about Fenrir later
What was this final battle between gods & giants all about?
This is Loki. he is the trickster god & god of
fire. he brings gifts to the gods by giving thor
his hammer and Odin his horse ; Slepnir.
During ragnark he leads the giants and the
deamons into battle against the Aesir, the
Valkries, the deceased warriors in Valhalla,
and the Vanir gods.
This is Fenrir. he is the son of Loki
and a giantess. the gods saw Fenrir’s
epic power, and knew that he must be
contained, for they couldn’t defeat him.
He was chained with a magical chain
made of the sound of a cat’s footsteps, the
beard of a woman, and the breath of fish.
During Ragnark he eats Odin & the
sun. he was bound by tyr
This is Ragnark. it is the destruction of all
of the nine worlds. It is only fully
described in the Icelandic poem Voluspa.
In this poem it is preceded by cruel winters
and Moral chaos. During Ragnark Giants
& deamons will approach from all sides of
the compass to attack the gods, who face
death like heroes. it was supposed to be on
