Scandinavian mythology

In the myths of Scandinavia, Ragnarok (Ancient Northern Europe: "The End of God"), the end of the world of God and man. Ragnarok is an Icelandic poet, Wolfspa ("Sybil prophecy"), probably in the second half of the 10th century, and in the thirteenth century by Snowy Starlson's Edda (d. 1241). According to these two sources, Ragnarok will face cruel winter and moral chaos. The giants and demons approaching everything from the compass attack the gods, they will meet them and face death like a hero. The sun gets dark, the stars disappear, the earth sinks into the sea. Later the earth rises again, innocent people rise from the dead, righteous gurus will live in golden halls.

Disjoint stories with Ragnaroc found in many other sources suggest that the concept is different. According to one poem, Lif and Lifthrasir ("life" and "vitality") emerge from the world tree (unbroken) and are repeated on the earth. The name of the opera Götterdämmerung of Richard Wagner is Ragnarok of Germany, which means "Twilight of God".

In German mythology, Toll and Beowulf killed Serpent dragon, but committed suicide at battle. Siegfried's accomplishment depicted in German Nibelungs songs is one of the first victories for Long Fabnieres. In the myths of Scandinavia, Vulcan Loki's eldest son is a manifestation of evil, it represents a serpent struggling to wipe the world with its lethal coil and kill all living things with poison. In Western folklore, snakes' forked tongues are related to hypocrisy, lying and inviting unexpected momentary death, so the snake's symbol is almost negative. Snakes are condemned for the story of Adam and Eve, as well as for the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh, causing people to lose God's gift to eternal life. . I regained youth, but when he found it, the snake stole it

Nordic myth refers to the Scandinavian myth framework that is maintained during and around the Viking era (790 BCE to 1100 AD CE). Completed myth of creation, the first god scattered in various fields under the world tree Yggdrasil, killing the giants, and in Lagnaro's Nordic mythology, part of his body to the rest of the world I moved. The ultimate destruction of the known world is complex and inclusive. The temple of that god is led by Odin of one eye, contains many different gods and goddesses, incorporates customs and customs into the daily life of ancient Scandinavians.

The Nordic religion has developed from German common myths. The myths of Scandinavia and the relative importance of God and heroes are slow to develop. Therefore, Norwegian Odin worship may spread from West Germany just before being written. The gods such as Ullr, Goddess Njord, Heimdall and others indicate that God may be an old Norwegian god who lost his popularity. Other gods (or aesir) worth mentioning are Raytheon and the goddess of love, Freya.
