There are two halls for the fallen: Valhalla and Folkvangr. Folkvangr was Freya's Hall, and fallen warriors were divided between her and Odin upon arrival. The warriors of Valhalla would charge into battle during Ragnarok as the Einharjar, while the warriors of Folkvangr would remain as the last line of defence

That's actually Frigg, Odin's first wife. With Freya, Odin has to give half the scholars, poets, musicians, and artists, who Odin would have welcomed into Gladsheim. Freya collects half for Vanaheim as part of the treaty that ended the Aesir-Vanir War, a treaty that was sealed contractually with her marriage to Odin. Common misconception. Also, anyone who dies at sea is the property of the sea giant Aegir, who Odin is on good terms with and likes to keep it that way. I'm not sure if that's all the halls of the fallen, there could be more. Everyone who a deity or giant hasn't called dibs on automatically goes to Hel, ruled over by Hela, which isn't horrible, but it's not Valhalla either. You just get to rest and not suffer unless Hela needs you for something.

Midgard - middle land - middle earth. Tolkein got a lot from norse mythology Edit: coming back to this after a few years I have since found out middle earth was likely from an anglo saxon poem called "the wanderer" which directly mentions "this middle earth" Also the silmarilian specifically has tons of influence directly from Norse mythology But like the comments say, he got a lot of stuff from Norse, anglo saxon, Greek and other sources as well

Yes, but not exclusively. Tolkien was a lover of legends, myths, history, and any good story really (a man after my own heart). The various epic battle scenes are based on his first hand experience serving in the first World War. He also studied Biblical legends, including one about the Spear of Destiny, which is where we got that scene with Aragorn using a sword to command an army of ghosts. And the one ring is really an amalgam of ring legends, including not just Norse, but an old Greek tale called the Ring of Gyges, which is where we get the whole invisibility thing and the mind becoming corrupted. The Greek tale is worth a look, it's actually contributed to an ancient philosophical debate that hasn't been fully answered to this day. Sorry this was long, I'm just a huge nerd for this stuff.

We have 9 worlds in our solar system do you think their is any connection or is it just random chance? A under-laying reality or dimension perhaps located at the positions of these worlds in our solar system or does the tree present a series of solar systems or universes. How literal should the lore be taken?What way should they be interpreted or should we abandon more new age concepts and embrace such lore literally? and such lore could of been presented by the gods to ancient Europeans in such way that it could of been more easily understood in those times.

Svartalfhiem's name might not be a misnomer, as some sources seem to use Svartalfar and Dokkalfar interchangeably with dwarves and dark elves. Dwarves might be dark elves, is what I'm saying. Mythology is weird, things don't always fit in a neat box like modern stories.

Dwarves are more of a Germanic concept overall, changing by region. In German folklore/mythology the dwarves appear in art similar to how they are imagined in more Tolkienian-ese writings (short, stout, bearded, and pale. Nothing like the more ethereal Dokkalfar/Svartalfar.) Though they still turn into stone if the sun comes up. There is also debate as to whether the Svartalfar and Dokkalfar are the same or different.

Dwarfs are not elf's but a lot of myths have them really close in concept. Elf's are vana (members of the fray) dark elf's are one of first races far older than dwarfs, light elf's and even the gods them self's. They live in niflheim the first realm and rule it after the giants left. Dwarfs are...apost to be mortal creatures and believe it or not big ..like sub giants hah but to be fair dwarfs have it bad cause no one understands them or what they fall in to. Besides they're closer to man than vana.

Nice catch, the gard actually roughly translates to "garden" in ancient Norse. That's a language that's hard for people to pick up on, mind you. I'm half Swedish and a quarter German and devoted myself to the faith of my Norse ancestors, but even I have difficulty sometimes when the terms and names, what with being raised to speak in a modern English tongue. Norse languages, particularly the older ones, are rune based and often have sounds and symbols that just don't have an easy one to one translation into any language whose origins are remotely Latin. The confusion works both ways and was the very reason the Norse were called barbarians by the Romans, because, like the Germanic tribes, whenever they tried speaking Latin, the result sounded something like "Bar Bar Bar!" I still can't find a word processor that accounts for the language or runes, so everybody give the guy a break.

Norse mythology really is one of the most fleshed out and intricate/interesting creation theories. To make a full-fledged quality game containing all the described worlds in detail would be daunting, but whichever studio achieved it would attain legendary status. I wonder if the holds of skyrim are supposed to resemble some of the worlds? Whiterun would probably represent Asgard, Windhelm would be Jotunheim, and so on.

Sometimes I like to entertain the idea that the world we live in is the result of Ragnarok, and that the Earth literally is the nine realms forged together in Surt’s fires unleashed upon the end which our solar system was brought into being. Of course, such an event may have been the moment the universe was born, the world tree’s trunk and roots still remaining with all its branches slowly growing back so vast, we cannot even comprehend it at all though we may see it every time we look upon the stars. Perhaps the galaxies themselves may be the leaves of the tree’s crown, ever expanding outwards. Or it may all just be our primitive minds trying to make sense of it all. Yeah, Norse mythology can truly put you in a quite deep mindset, which is why I love it so much. 😄

Svartalfheim wasnt the home of the dark elves and/or the dwarves, although i suppose it sort of was home to both... see, the dark elves and the dwarves were one and the same. "The lines between the dwarves, elves, and dead humans are very blurry. The dwarves are occasionally called “black elves” (Old Norse svartálfar),and in some instances they’re described as being dead or resembling human corpses." (norse-mythology.org/gods-and-creatures/dwarves/) Svartalfheim was home to the dwarves, who were also called Black/Dark Elves.

by the way...just for reference... Modern scholars have increasingly become convinced that the species of the Yggdrasil tree was a representation of Taxus baccata or common/European yew. (Not an ash or other hardwood as previously supposed.)

Yep it is. However the other one (i forgot how it was called but it was to those souls who were trapped and used as a soulgem, the one with the vampire quest), is obviously hell for those trapped inside. Trapped but not tormented. Cursed but also blessed.

Wasn’t it because Thor was viewed as a title for those who could lift Mjolnir, and original Thor lost his ability to do so? And doesn’t she have an interesting character arc of it making her breast cancer worse every time she becomes Thor? And hasn’t she also had multiple experiences with Asgard and Thor? Like, I know its easy to hate Marvel for being feminist SJW cucks or whatever, but it sounds more like sensationalism than anything.

I like mythologies where the gods are basically a dysfunctional family with superpowers. Making a bad deal because they're not as smart as they think they are, trying to screw over the contractor so they can welsh on the deal, screwing his horse instead, murdering the contractor, and coming out of the whole thing with a wall they didn't have to build and a horse that jumps dimensions. Tell me you wouldn't do that in a heartbeat.

RAGNAROK, will appear when ODIN's Son : THOR a "Demigod" , will fight against the " Midgård Serpent" the 3rd time. He have fought the snake twice, But he couldnt kill it, Because the Creature reach around the sea bites its tale, so Thor cant reach his hammer to kill it. His brother Loke, is an outcast from Midgård. I know that Thors hammer : MJØLNER, should have been one of the ancient weapons, like Poseidons Arrows..
