Svenska From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Norse mythology represents the early pre-Christian religion, beliefs and legends of the Scandinavian people, also known as the religion of Asatru or Odinism. Most of this mythology was passed down orally, and much of it has been lost. Happily, some of it was captured and recorded by enlightened Christian scholars such as (particularly) Snorri Sturlusson in the Eddas and Heimskringla, who rejected the idea that pre-Christian deities were devils. Quite similar mythologies were held by more southerly Germanic tribes. Exceptions to this shortfall in documented resources relating to the mythologies of early Germanic societies can be found in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle , the Beowulf sagas and the Gesta Danorum by Saxo Grammaticus . Limited information exists in the Germania of Tacitus , but the Eddas remain our main source of information.

    But, there are no references at least in norse mythology to the threads forminga pattern. Recommended! The norse mythology Web Page, not yet complete.  
    http://hem.passagen.se/kjnoren/jordan/norse.html
    
    Extractions: 5.3 Bibliography and sources on the Internet The main troubles in finding parallels and inspiration from the Norse and Germanic mythology in The Wheel of Time (TWoT) is that the sources of Germanic mythology are very fragmented and in most cases preserved during the Christian era as literary stories or historified myths; and that Robert Jordan (RJ) deliberately went into bowdlerising them by writing a story that can be seen as the origin of the myths - and not only the Germanic ones. The parallels can theoretically be divided in story/plot parallels and character parallels. There are also details that more or less correspond to each other. I have tried to be rather strict when trying to say that a specific instance in TWoT has its "origin" in Germanic myths. This is especially true of the common indoeuropean material present in the Germanic mythology, like the Tree of Life. On the other hand, I have tried to be complete and list all evidence. You will have to judge for yourself, I only provide the "evidence". Most connections are classified by strength, but some are noted as possible - more of the story must be unfolded before any answer can be found. They go from certain, strong, moderate to weak. Please note that I haven't found any "free-standing" plot parallels, apart from minor cases related to the character parallels. I am pretty sure such exists, but they are 1) much harder to find; 2) much easier to bowdlerise and change (eg

    Extractions: The Germanic and Scandinavian peoples are branches of the same root and their mythology has much in common. We can't overestimate the influence of Norse mythology and religion in ancient Britain, both in terms of the early Anglo-Saxon and Danish settlements, and the centuries-long occupation by the Vikings of much of Ireland and Scotland. British heritage is an intimate intertwining of Scandinavian and Celtic roots. The two primary written sources for Norse mythology are the Prose (Younger) Edda and the Poetic (Elder) Edda, written in Iceland in the 13th century. The word Edda means "grandmother." Makes you wonder who told and passed on the oral traditions? We are highly indebted to the Icelanders for their perservation of the ancient Norse myths and legends. They were an invaluable repository for Viking culture, just as the Irish monks functioned as a repository for Celtic culture.

53. Norse Mythology
    FREYA In norse mythology, Freya is the wife of Odin and goddess of love, fertility,war, and wealth. Originally one of the Vanir (the wind gods).  
    http://freespace.virgin.net/dominic.fitzgerald/norse.htm
    
    Extractions: After Borr's sons rolled Ymir's (Hrim-thurs or ice-giant) corpse into the great Abyss they started to remove various components of his body to make the world. From his flesh they made Midgard (middle garden) or as we know it, Earth.The solid protion of Midgard was surrounded by Ymir's blood which created the vast oceans. His bones made the hills, his flat teeth made the cliffs, and his curly hair made the trees and vegetation. When the gods were pleased with their works, they took the giant's skull and poised it above the earth and sea as a great vault of heaven. They then scattered the brains through the air to create the clouds. To support the great vault, the gods stationed the strongest dwarfs, Nordi, Sudri, Austri, Westri, in the four corner of the world, which later became our compass points North, south, east and west. At this time, the gods needed light so they used a spell from Muspells-heim to create small points of light. The brightest points of spark or light were used to make the sun and the moon, which would be pulled through the sky in two golden chariots. To pull the sun chariot two steeds were chosen:- Arvakr (the early waker) , and Alsvin (the rapid goer) , and to protect them, they placed air under the horses skins. They also created a great shield, and called it
