Loki is a god in Norse mythology who is often simply described as the 'trickster' god for his love of playing pranks on both his fellow gods and his or their opponents. https://www.worldhistory.org/Loki/ #History #Baldr #Edda #Freyja

The best-known vision of the Norse afterlife is that of Valhalla, the hall of the heroes where warriors chosen by the Valkyries feast with the god Odin, tell stories from their lives, and fight each other in preparation for the final battle of Ragnarök, the end of the world and death of the gods. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1290/norse-ghosts--the-afterlife/ #History #Edda #NorseMythology #Saga

Wenn man sich so ein bisschen mit der #Edda auskennt und sich dann mit den eschatologischen Zeichen des #ragnarök beschäftigt, könnte man fast glauben, wir wären mittendrin.

You‘ll never be as famous as the Eddic dwarf Litr, who was “kicked by Thor into Baldr’s funeral pyre for an unclear reason”.

Listening to the audiobook of LotR put me on a search for the source of dwarves (my fav plural) in fiction and folklore. First stop: Wikipedia. 🫶🏻

Loki is a god in Norse mythology who is often simply described as the 'trickster' god for his love of playing pranks on both his fellow gods and his or their opponents. https://www.worldhistory.org/Loki/ #History #Baldr #Edda #Freyja

Freyja (Old Norse for 'Lady', 'Woman', or 'Mistress') is the best-known and most important goddess in Norse mythology. https://www.worldhistory.org/Freyja/ #History #Edda #Freyja #Freyr

The poem Lokasenna belongs to the Poetic Edda, a bulk of Old Norse poetry written down in Iceland in the 1200s but based on linguistic features dating back as far as the 900s. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1938/lokasenna/ #History #Edda #Loki #NorseMythology

WHEN I WAS READING THIS in '08, I'd read only 1 other Wm Gibson novel (Virtual Light) yrs earlier, which didn't hook me. And #SpookCountry hadn't either, until Bigend unrolled the Secret Flying Dutchman ISO Container Legend. Here was a mythologic device as old as the #Edda.

Tyr (Old Norse: Týr) is one of the battle-gods of Norse mythology, according to the main sources on the topic, the literary works called the Eddas. https://www.worldhistory.org/Tyr/ #History #Edda #Fenrir #NorseMythology

Manche von uns in vielen Länder leben schon in so eine düstere Welt, wie die #Völva vor 1500 Jahren prophezeit -
„Es befehden sich Brüder und fällen einander,
die Bande des Bluts brechen Schwestersöhne;
arg ist's in der welt, viel Unzucht gibt es --
Beilzeit, Schwertzeit, es bersten die Schilde
Windzeit, Wolfzeit, eh' die Welt versinkt --
nicht einer der Menschen wird den andern schonen.“
• Die Edda, Götterlieder, Der Seherin Weissagung (Vǫluspǫ), übersetzt von Hugo Gering (1892)

Wegen der #Klimakrise, steuern Menschen der Erde selbst in genau dieselbe tragische Richtung. Eine Anmerkung – das Wort „Unzucht“ steht problematisch im Text. Im früheren Jahrhunderten hatte das Wort keine (exklusive) sexuelle Bedeutung, sondern bedeutete es „unsittliche Handlung, Gewalttätigkeit, Rauheit“. (https://www.dwds.de/wb/Unzucht) Der #Patriarchat und der #Kapitalismus verhalten sich genau so.
