World History Encyclopedia - Sif

Sif is a fertility goddess in Norse mythology, wife of the thunder god Thor, best known for the story in which the trickster god Loki cuts her hair as a prank and is forced to replace it with a magical headpiece, leading to the creation of several other well-known enchanted items including Thor’s hammer. worldhistory.org/Sif/

Happy Book Lovers Day! What are some of your favourite/most treasured books in these categories? A few of the books in this video are keepsakes - the oldest book is my mom’s copy of Alice, the newest I just bought on a trip to Salem, and the book I’ve read the most I bought on a trip through Bangor, Maine.

Finished a new design of the Norse myth of Skoll swallowing the sun at Ragnarok. This one went through a number of revisions before I got to something I was happy with. I kept trying to force the teeth into knotwork detail but the wild, jagged approach is much better.

Neil Gaiman does to Norse mythology what Stephen Fry does to Greek: telling the antics of the gods in a clear and funny way! Short chapters and reads super smoothly. 4⭐

Lester Del Rey’s 1950 novel When the World Tottered combines ancient mythology with sci-fi (it's definitely sci-fi not fantasy). In the near future a farmer meets a valkyrie and ends up in Asgard. Action-packed and imaginative. Recommended.
