Norse Mythology

Norse mythology is a body of myths stemming from Old Norse religion and continuing after the Christianization of Scandinavia, consisting of tales of various deities, beings, and heroes derived from sources including medieval manuscripts, archaeological representations, and folk tradition. The mythology centers on the plights of the gods and their interaction with humanity and other beings, and is based on a cosmology consisting of Nine Worlds that flank a central sacred tree, Yggdrasil. Norse mythology has been the subject of scholarly discourse since the 17th century, and has been revived in modern popular culture and as a source of inspiration for Germanic Neopaganism.learn more on wikipedia
