22. The Nordic Way A page about norse religion or Way Sed / si°r . http://www.nenne.com/nordicway/

Making a site in English about the "Norse religion" or "Way" ["Sed"/"siðr"] proves to be a difficult task. Due to the fact that the English language lacks many of the words needed to fully describe the true essence of it. A part of the problem lies in the fact that there was no specific word for "religion" in pre-christian Scandinavia. When christianity was introduced, people referred to it as " the New Way " as opposite to " the Ancient Way " ["forn siðr"]. In Norse times "religion" wasn't separated from everyday social manners and customs, nor from sense of the law or moral values. So when we today speak of asatro asatru or Norse Paganism , we must be careful not to misunderstand each otherthis because there are all different kinds of people who call themselves "Asatruars"not even mentioning all New-Agers and suchlike that desecrate and abuse the Way by stealing and misusing sacred signs and practices in the same, most sacrilegious, way that they expropriate traditions and desecrate objects, places and symbols that are sacred to, say, native Americans. First there are those who confess to and pay hommage to the Norse Godsperiodwho leave out the "rest". By this I mean that they seem to have little or no place in their world for the other parts of "

This web page is dedicated to the wonderful stories and legends found in the ancient mythologies. Being mainly Celtic with a dash of Greek, I have always been facinated with the myths of those two races. Recently I have researched Norse mythology and found that there is an equally exciting supply of legend there.Finally, inspired by an upcoming trip to Egypt I started to look at their myths, which although highly confusing, have a wealth of interesting deities and beliefs My only problem in constructing this web site has been in deciding what to put in and what to leave out. I have basically compromised by including a glossary of the main characters in Norse, Gaelic, Egyptian and Classical Mythology and including a few of my own favorite stories. I hope, that like me, you may be inspired to read more about the myths of these great cultures. Mail me! or sign the guest book

27. ASATRU (NORSE PAGANISM) ASATRU. (norse Heathenism). At its peak, it covered all of Northern Europe. In 1000CE, Iceland became the second last norse culture to convert to Christianity. http://www.religioustolerance.org/asatru.htm

ASATRU (Norse Heathenism) Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. History: Asatru is frequently regarded as one of the Neo-Pagan family of religions. That family includes Wicca Celtic Druidism , and re-creations of Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and other ancient Pagan religions. However, many Asatruers prefer the term " Heathen " to " Neopagan " and look upon their tradition as " not just a branch on the Neopagan tree " but as a different tree. Unlike Wicca, which has gradually evolved into many different traditions, the reconstruction of Asatru has been based on the surviving historical record; it has been maintained as closely as possible to the original religion of the Norse people. Asatru or Ásatrú is an Icelandic word, a translation of the Danish word Asetro . The latter was coined by scholars in the mid-19th century. It was intended to mean belief in the Asir, the Gods. In Scandinavia the religion is called Forn Siðr (which means the Ancient way), Forn sed (the Old custom), Nordisk sed (Nordic custom), or

Norse and Germanic Mythology in The Wheel of Time (Last changed November 1997 - section on Lanfear) Contents 1. Introduction 1.1 Spoilers 1.2 Sources 1.3 Names and roles of some gods ... 5.3 Bibliography and sources on the Internet 1. Introduction 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

Also more information about the Gods and Goddesses Category Society Religion and Spirituality Traditions norse......What is norse Religion? Asatru is also very much concerned with maintainingfamily and community; two major concerns of the Germanic/norse peoples. http://www.wizardrealm.com/norse/

What is Norse Religion? Norse Religion, or Heathenry, is the modern-day practice of the ancient tribal belief systems of the Northern European peoples; the Teutons (continental Germanic tribes) and the Norse (Scandinavian and Gothic tribes). Although their deities were pretty much the same, they were pronounced differently among the various tribes. Thus you have Odin among the Norse, and Wotan or Wodan among the Teutons; Thor or Thonar among the Norse, and Donar or Donner among the Teutons. A branch of Asatru refers to itself as "Folkish Asatru". This particular denomination of Asatru claims to be the one "true" Asatru, descended from the ancient Northern European religion. Members of Folkish Asatru claim that bloodline is the strongest determinant of whether or not a person may practice the Norse Heathen faith. Although they claim not to be racist (actually, not to be supremacist), their fundamental practices are based upon race. Folkish Asatru tend to be intolerant of other heathen practices and of people of non-Nordic/Germanic descent practicing Asatru. Yet another branch of heathenry calls itself "Odinism." It is very close to Asatru, but with more emphasis on magical working rather than religious practices. I find that more solitary practitioners are drawn to this form rather than to Asatru, even though the two are so close in their practices as to be nigh-well undistinguishable. Again, I find the main difference to be upon the emphasis of magickal working rather than ceremonial religious ritual. Unfortunately, many people who profess to be Odinists use the term for their own political agendas of racism and White Supremacy. This is not what this form of worship is about; Racism is a political agenda, not a religious one. Don't let anyone try to tell you differently.

The nordic mythology... Old Norse Mythology. The Old Norse Mythology is rather facinating. The ones aqquinted with the world of Tolkien can to some extent recognize themselves when dealing with this mythology. According to the old tales a man with the name of Gylfe, king of Svithiod, once entered the home of the gods and there he was told how the world begun. He met with three beings which had the names: Hög (High), Tredje (Third) and jämnhög (Even Height or something like that ;-). They told him how the world had been created and how everything was done. In the beginning there was the abyss (Ginnungagapet), North of this there was Nifelheim, the world of cold where Cold and Darkness rules. Frosty mists rose from the cold well of Hvergelmer. In the south there was the hot Muspelheim, a place where the being Surte ruled with a flaming sword. The mists from Hvergelmer formed the frozen stream of Elivågor which flowed in to the Ginnungagap and filled it with ice. But at the same time flares from Muspelheim fell into the abyss and the falling drops which became the result of the mix of flares and ice formed two giant beings: A cow with the name 'Audhumbla' and a giant named 'Ymer'. Ymer got his food from the cow by means of four mouths which he used to milk the cows four nipples. Audhumbla in turn lived on the white frost ont the rocks. Her warm breath created a man called Bure wich by some mysterious way managed to get hold of a wife (it is not described how) and they where the first of the Asa dynasty of which Oden, Vile and Ve would be the greatest.

A Dictionary of the Norse Gods by Rob Elliott Aegir: (or Hler) He is the god of the sea, and dwells on the island of Lessoe (or Hlesey). He is usually depicted as an old man with a long white beard. He is said to trigger storms and tempests and, on occasion, even calm the weather. Aegir is also suspected of greed, often sinking vessels and bringing them down with him to the depths of the ocean. Aesir: This is the collective name given to the warrior gods who live in Asgard. Alfheim: Of the nine worlds, this is the world of the Light Elves. Asgard: Of the nine worlds, this is the world of the Aesir, or the warrior gods. In Asgard the gods built their halls, one of which is Valhalla. Audhumla: The cow created in the hoar-frost of Ginnungagap. When Audhumla became hungry, she began licking the salt from the sheets of ice. After continuous licking, the cow uncovered from the ice the body of Buri, whose grandsons are the gods Odin, Vili, and Ve. Balder: Beserker Rage: At certain times, Odin was said to give to his warriors the gift of beserker rage, which enabled the warrior, although weaponless and naked, to perform great feats of strength and valor. Bifrost: This is the name given to the rainbow (or flaming) bridge, which spans the gap between Midgard and Asgard.

Welcome to THE N.O.R.S.E* PAGES * N on- O dinist R une S eekers E verywhere Why do I call myself a "Non-Odinist" rune seeker? Well, other than the attempt at a clever acronym for this site... J Not because I dislike Odin in particular...but because of two misconceptions people have about rune magic. Number one: I'm not involved with any Neo-Nazi group which uses the runes as hate insignia (those people often call themselves Odinists and give the rest of us a seriously bad reputation). Number two: you don't have to follow a specific religion to be genuinely interested in rune work. Even if a rune magician does also believe in the Germanic gods, he doesn't need to dedicate himself specifically to Odin. The Eddas (our holy text) do mention other gods and mortals working rune magic, without asking his help. Most of the text on this site is my own, though I don't pretend to have all the answers. If you can't find what you need on my pages, check out these links. let me know so I can give you proper credit and keep them here legitimately: as often as Norse pagans talk about honor, it would be wrong not to practice what I preach!
