Description

This book is a literary journey through the world of Norse mythology that will delight both laymen and experts alike. It highlights Ragnarök as a central theme in the Germanic pantheon and describes the cosmic forces that determined the fate of the gods. In 18 comprehensive chapters, you will learn:How the nine worlds were created from Ginnungagap and what place Yggdrasil, the world ash tree, occupies in them. What role Odin, Thor, Freyr, and Loki played for gods and humans, and why their actions heralded the end of the world. Why the Fimbulwinter and moral decay were considered harbingers of Ragnarök. How Hel, Fenrir, and Jörmungandr came into being and what symbolic meaning they have. How the Aesir and Vanir families of gods waged war against each other and reconciled. How Valkyries led the bravest warriors to Valhalla to stand by Odin's side in the final battle. How the battles of Odin against Fenrir, Thor against the Midgard Serpent, and Freyr against Surtr sealed the downfall. And how, after the destruction, a new world emerged in which the surviving gods and humans Lif and Lifthrasir dared to make a new beginning.
