The Gods of the Vikings - Exploring the Norse Gods, Myths and Legends Through the Days of the Week by Marion Pearce,Emily Carding Pdf

The Norse gods are as vivid and powerful as the rugged elemental landscapes they ruled over. From Scandinavia the Vikings raided, traded and settled across Europe and beyond, leaving their mark through their deities in place names, literature and particularly through the derivation of the names of the days of the week from Tuesday to Friday. Marion Pearce sets the major Norse gods like Odin, Thor, Loki, Tyr, Baldur, Freya and Frigg into a context of both time and place, telling their tales in a unique manner and through doing so she introduces numerous other gods, giants, heroes, dwarves and monsters from the Norse myths and legends. The author also writes on the Germanic Saxon gods, who sprang from the same roots, and explores the conflict between the Norse and Saxon gods and Christianity. The influences of the Norse and Saxon gods are considered further through their survival in British folk customs and significant calendar festivals. Drawing on numerous sources, including the Eddas and Sagas, the tale of Beowulf, contemporary Arabic writings and early British laws, the author demonstrates the threads which unite the days of the week and the Norse and Saxon gods with other early civilizations and classical sources from Pliny, Tacitus and Ravenna to the Old Testament. From the world tree Yggdrasil to its gods and creatures, from the Norse creation myths to the cataclysmic Ragnarok, from magic charms to ritual practices, The Viking Gods by Marion Pearce is an evocative journey through the rich tapestry of Norse paganism, history and cosmology, illustrated with numerous original line drawings by visionary artist Emily Carding. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Marion Pearce is the author of numerous articles on Celtic, Norse and Roman history and culture published in magazines in the UK and internationally. She is the editor of Pentacle Magazine, the biggest independent pagan magazine in the UK, which she founded in 2002; and was formerly the editor of Pagan Dawn, the magazine of the Pagan Federation.

Norse Mythology by Tom Garrison Pdf

Are you familiar with the creation myth of the world according to Norse mythology? "Before the beginning there was nothing-just the world of mists, formless and without contours." Then, in Ginnungagap, from the union of ice and fire was born the first ice giant in history, Ymir, from whom all other Lotun giants originated. But where did Odin and all the other gods come from? And how were the worlds created? "Norse Mythology" recounts the birth of the cosmos, the adventures of the gods, and Ragnarok, the day of the end of the world. Norse mythology is full of highly original myths and legends filled with adventure and magic dating back to pre-Christian times. The adventures of this cult have been passed down from generation to generation by Scandinavian civilizations, particularly the Viking people told in prose and sung in the form of ballads. The Vikings believed that natural disasters were the cause of the wrath of supernatural beings, so they took care to make blood offerings to appease their wrath. Norse mythology turns out to be among the most original and characteristic of ancient peoples. Odin is the name of the one who was considered the only father of the gods, the most feared and at the same time, the most beloved. Contrary to popular belief, in Norse mythology there is no moral code to follow and there are evil deities, enemies of the gods and sometimes more powerful than the gods themselves. Here is a small preview of what you will find inside the book: Cosmology: the birth of the universe and the creation of the Nine Realms Yggdrasil: the tree of life The deities of Norse mythology: Odin, Thor, Loki,... Legendary creatures: elves, dwarves, giants,... Best-known legends and myths of Norse culture Ragnarok: the end of the world ...AND MUCH MORE TO DISCOVER! Travel to dangerous places, such as Jotunheim, the land of the evil Giants, where winter is perennial and the forests are always dark, and battle the Giants on the fateful day of Ragnarok.

Norse Mythology by Matt Clayton Pdf

A Fascinating Guide to Understanding the Sagas, Gods, Heroes, and Beliefs of the Vikings This book on Norse Mythology is part of the new series "Greek Mythology - Norse Mythology - Egyptian Mythology" that is written by the best-selling author Matt Clayton. In this ultimate guide on Norse Mythology, you will discover captivating stories of the Gods, heroes, and beliefs of the Vikings. This book is broken into two parts: Heroes and Sagas The Norse Gods This book is jam-packed with fascinating facts and stories. For instance, it covers all that you need to know about the nine realms as well as captivating tales of Odin, Thor, Loki, and Ragnar�k. The Vikings of Norse poetry and saga were a fearless lot, and their tales were frequently tragic. Some, if not all, of the myths were based on real people and real events. These heroes accomplished many fantastic feats, some of them even documented by their enemies. The Vikings were born out of an age of hardship. Tales of their earliest raids come to us from the 790s, during the early European Middle Ages. This was a period of dangerous iciness as the thousand-year climate cycle dipped to the coldest our world had experienced in 7,000 years. No doubt, the punishing cold for these people of Northern Europe helped to dispel any complacency they may have felt during the warmer, mid-Holocene epoch. Death was sitting on their doorstep, and the weak and timid would have died from the change in climate. Only the strong and cunning would survive. Like their sagas and heroes, the Norse gods were also a rough and tumble group of individuals with strong character and human frailties. Just some of the questions and topics covered in this book include: How Climate Change Made The Vikings Ruthless The Icelandic Sagas The Varangian Guard Vikings in America The Vikings of Sicily Norman Conquest of England Berserkers Vanir against the Aesir The Nine Realms The Giants of Jotunheim Lesser Divine Beings Tales of Odin and Thor Loki and Ragnar�k And much more!
