Explore the Norse Myths
Norse mythology is one of the many traditions that has been kept alive by telling stories from mouth to mouth before they were written down. Each one of these traditions has a slightly different way of explaining our origins and the ultimate fate that awaits us all. Norse mythology provides its own unique northern flavor, coming from lands of mist and ice, rugged mountains, dense black forests, rolling green plains and stormy seas.
What has been handed down to us is a vast memory system containing knowledge of all kinds. Through a language of symbols, this system provides clear allusions to ancient knowledge about the shifting of the stars and constellations over large spans of time. It teaches us about the power of song, poetry and writing, and about the cycles of nature and human civilization. These myths speak of great wonders and of great catastrophe, but we can also relate to them on a personal level.
Here, at the Secrets of the Norse, we will make an effort at deciphering many of these riddles in order to see what knowledge is hidden in them. You can keep up to date with the latest developments and explore the Norse Myths at The Secrets of the Norse Blog.
