Mythology

Gods, beings, cosmology, and tradition in historical sources and later interpretations.

Library

Eddas, skaldic poetry, inscriptions, and images preserve different fragments.

Óðinn appears in the sources as an ambiguous and contradictory figure.

Þórr is widely attested in poetry, place-names, and amulet finds.

The world tree structures a cosmology that is not entirely consistent across the sources.

Freyja connects desire, precious things, magical knowledge, and a share of the battle-dead.

Loki shifts between problem-solver and destroyer; “god of evil” is not a source-based description.

Týr is known above all through his lost hand and relationship with Fenrir.

Non-human beings are kin, enemies, makers, and keepers of knowledge—not a simple list of fantasy species.

Ragnarök is not one fixed apocalypse but a web of related poetic traditions.

Burials and poetry reveal several ideas of continued existence rather than one Norse afterlife.

Religion was enacted through offerings, meals, vows, and places—not only through stories about gods.

Eddic texts, lived religion, and modern popular culture are connected but not identical.
