| | Norse mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The gods, aware of this, will gather the finest warriors, the Einherjar, to fight on their side when the day comes, but in the end they will be powerless to prevent the world from descending into the chaos out of which it has once emerged; the gods and their world will be destroyed. | | | Norse or Scandinavian mythology refers to the pre-Christian religion, beliefs and legends of the Scandinavian people, including those who settled on Iceland, where the written sources for Norse mythology were assembled. | | | It was not a revealed religion, in that it was not a truth handed down from the divine to the mortal (although it does have tales of normal persons learning the stories of the gods from a visit to or from the gods), and it had no scripture. |

| | Gefjun - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography |
| | In Norse mythology, Gefjun ("giver"; also Gefjon, Gefyon, Gefn) was a seeress and goddess, a member of both the Vanir and the Aesir. | | | The goddess's name is shared with a Norse term meaning "marriage", represented by the English language as "give", meaning "wife" (see dowry), and found in the form of a Rune. | | | All women who die virgin are sent to her hall, and thus she is characterised as a goddess of virtue, yet she was also a fertility goddess. |

Supposedly the bare foot is an ancient Norse symbol of fertility. |

| | Tyr |
| | Tyr (Old Norse: Týr) is the god of warfare and battle in Norse mythology, portrayed as a one-handed man. He was a son of either Odin or Hymir. | | | Among East Germanic tribes, however, he seems to have remained the supreme god: the Goths of the 3rd century were feared because they sacrificed the captives they took in battle to Tyz, their god of war, and then hung the arms of the victims in trees as a token-offering. | | | In the Realms, he is a Greater Power, the God of Justice, who is referred to as "The Even-Handed." He is allied with Ilmater and Helm, and served by Torm. |

| | Asgard (Old Norse: Ásgarðr) is the realm of the gods, the Æsir, in Norse mythology, thought to be separate from the realm of the mortals, Midgard. | | | Originally the world we call "Asgard" was named Godheim (the home of gods), but as was the case with Midgard, early researchers confused the world of gods for its most prominent castle, and Godheim became Asgard in most sources. | | | This article is about the realm of Norse Mythology. |

| | At the dawn of the second millennium, my ancestors were digging in their heels to defend their gods and mythology against the steady encroachment of Christianity from the South. | | | As pagans they worshiped a god named Odin, reputedly the son of a giantess, who had killed a giant named Ymir. | | | But we have a god who can be seen every day, although he is not out today, because the weather is wet, and he will appear to thee terrible and very grand; and I expect that fear will mix with your very blood when he comes into the Thing. |

| | According to the pagan view the name was a part of the personality, or rather the name in some mysterious way represented the spiritual and intellectual element of the individual for whom it stood. | | | The religious basis of the practice was that a departed ancestor is reborn and again rejoins the living members of the family if his/her name is given to the new-born child. | | | If one or more of the grandparents were dead the old belief would practically decree it and filial love would perpetuate the practice after the belief no longer existed in its old form. |
