Which aspects of the Norse mythology are often neglected?

>>48983454
Alot of it. Especially the philosophical concepts like Inangard and Utangard.

Male gods turning into female creatures or dressing as women

Loki vs Zeus: Ultimate degenerate contest
WHO WINS?!

>>48983621
Add Odin to the mix, he was such a degenerate he got kicked out of Valhalla. Odin was a massive prick apparently.

Loki is the anti god when he does it its excusable.

>>48983670
>Leave Odin and Zeus to fight
>Later come to Odin sucking zeus off
>What'cha doing odin?
>Magic.

>>48983670
Asgard not Valhalla. Also take everything you read about Norse mythology with a grain of salt. Because most of it comes from things Snorri Sturlisson wrote.The guy was a christian and when comparing to older material show that he altered or made up stuff to fit his views.

>>48983682
>He wasn't trve kvlt!
>My aryan gods weren't perfect 100% like the movies

Fuck off, they're better this way.

Perhaps the spiritual concepts of jarls and thralls and the true meaning of runes

>>48983454
Odin drinking semen from dead men. For POWER.

>>48983682
Norse folk hated their gods.

Valhalla isn't heaven. It's a recruiting program for a suicide mission.

Help?

>>48983690
I prefer the not Christianized version. The Norse didn't believe that worthiness or unworthiness would determine where you would go. You die you go to Helheim where you'd live normally until what makes you you is reincarnated into your great grandson while the rest of you becomes an elf. Unless you where unlucky and caught the Valkyries attention. They where called choosers of the slain for a reason.

>>48983779
Where do you get this from?

>>48983889
Innangard and Utangard are the Norse version of Order and Chaos. Innangard means within the enclosure and represents order. Utangard means beyond the enclosure and represents chaos. Heres a link to where I first found out about them. http://norse-mythology.org/concepts/innangard-and-utangard/

Very cool site. Guess I have some reading to do

So, Indo-European dragon slaying myth?

>>48983682
Apart from the introduction and epilogue to Snorri's Edda we're not really sure if it's accurate or not. It's possible that all of it is accurate and that the introduction and epilogue was written as an excuse to the church. It's also possible that he rewrote large parts of it. We tend to think of it as more or less accurate, however.

>>48983790
Heimdall was actually called the White God because he was a sun deity. Besides, it's not like Marvel's Thor ever claimed to be an accurate representation of Norse mythology, and I think Idris did a good job portraying Heimdall as an ever watchful warrior and protector of order.

>>48983454
That they were all actually shit at fighting.

>>48984205
I was more pissy that they completely ignored the "Heimdall is Sif's brother" possible plot point.

>>48984209
That's the opposite of mythology.

>>48983454

Only half the worthy slain went to Valhalla.

Odin cut a deal with Freya that the other half ended up at her hall Folkvangr. Since Folkvangr was ruled by a Goddess of War, Magic and Sex you'd think that it would be a popular destination but neo-pagan types seem pretty silent about the prospect of going to an afterlife run by a girl.

>>48984281
It's quite possible that there, at least originally, were two different Lokis in Norse myth. Loki that lived in Valhalla, and Utgarda-Loki who appears by that name in only one saga and tricks Thor, Loki and two children to participate in rigged contests such as wrestling with old age, out eating fire, and lifting the Midgard serpent out of the sea.

It may simply be that these two characters became mixed up with each other.

With the exemption of Loki punishment, many adaptations often overlook how vengative people are in Norse myths. The norae might as well have invented "vengance is best served cold" because they practiced just that.

The Icelander Sagas gives some great insight into Norse society and culture, and they're avaiable for free on the web so there's absolutely no reason to not read them even.

One of my favorites is this part from Egil's Saga
>Skallagrim then became so strong and he caught up Thord and dashed him down so violently that he was all bruised and at once got his bane. Then he seized Egil. Now there was a handmaid of Skallagrim's named Thorgerdr Brak, who had nursed Egil when a child; she was a big woman, strong as a man, and of magic cunning. Said Brak:

>'Dost thou turn they shape-strength, Skallagrim, against thy son?'

>Whereat Skallagrim let Egil loose, but clutched at her. She broke away and took to her heels with Skallagrim after her. So went they to the utmost point of Digra-ness. Then she leapt out from the rock into the water. Skallagrim hurled after her a great stone, which struck her between the shoulders, and neither ever came up again. The water there is now called Brakar-sound. But afterwards, in the evening, when they came home to Borg, Egil was very angry. Skallagrim and everybody else were set at table, but Egil had not yet come to his place. He went into the fire-hall, and up to the man who there had the overseeing of work and the management of moneys for Skallagrim, and was most dear to him. Egil dealt him his deathblow, then went to his seat. Skallagrim spoke not a word about it then, and thenceforward the matter was kept quiet. But father and son exchanged no word good or bad, and so that winter passed.

>>48987185
Mythology in general tends to be weird by modern standards. It's not limited to the Norse.
http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/texts/horus_and_seth.htm

>Now afterward, (at) evening time, bed was prepared for them, and they both lay down. But during the night, Seth caused his phallus to become stiff and inserted it between Horus's thighs. Then Horus placed his hands between his thighs and received Seth's semen. Horus went to tell his mother Isis: "Help me, Isis, my mother, come and see what Seth has done to me."
And he opened his hand(s) and let her see Seth's semen. She let out a loud shriek, seized the copper (knife), cut off his hand(s) that were equivalent. Then she fetched some fragrant ointment and applied it to Horus's phallus. She caused it to become stiff and inserted it into a pot, and he caused his semen to flow down into it.

>And Isis added the semen of Horus onto it. Seth returned according to his daily habit and ate the lettuce, which he regularly ate. Thereupon he became pregnant with the semen of Horus.

>Then Thoth, lord of script and scribe of truth for the Ennead, put his hand on Horus's shoulder and said: "Come out, you semen of Seth."
And it answered him from the water in the interior of the marsh. Thoth put his hand on Seth's shoulder and said: "Come out, you semen of Horus."
Then it said to him: "Where shall I come from?"
Thoth said to it: "Come out from his ear."
Thereupon it said to him: "Is it from his ear that I should issue forth, seeing that I am divine seed?"
Then Thoth said to it:"Come out from the top of his head."
And it emerged as a golden solar disk upon Seth's head. Seth became exceeding furious and extended his hand(s) to seize the golden solar disk. Thoth took it away from him and placed it as a crown upon his (own) head. Then the Ennead said: "Horus is right, and Seth is wrong."

>>48983454
Valkyries are assholes.

>>48988537
Everyone is an asshole in Norse myth. Odin is an asshole. Thor is an asshole. Loki is an asshole. As a rule of thumb, whenever one of the Aesir think that they can get away with being a humongous ballsack, they will inevitably act like a humongous ballsack.

>>48987946

>>48989086
It's only natural, really. In a society where there is no institution to uphold law, order and justice it becomes each man's responsibility to protect himself and his family, and one of the best ways to do so under such circumstances is to show constantly that you are not to be fucked with.

My forbidden lore check seems to have failed.

Personally, I think the divide between the Aesir and Vanis is neglected in a lot of pop culture Norse-lite fantasy.

>>48989446
The distinction isn't really clear a lot of the time, just as it isn't between Aesir and Jötnar and Elves and Dwarves. They all have similar powers, and they often change shapes. It would almost seem that they are just different families or tribes but of the same race.

>>48988705
Except Baldr, but he's a dead asshole.

>>48989492
Generally, Vanir are the "soft" gods, fertility, harvest and second sight, whereas the Æsir are the simpler physical ones.

>>48983454
Loki is not Odin's son. In fact they are more like brothers, or so says Odin himself.

>>48989759
The thing is, that isn't entirely accurate either. Thor was, for example, in large part also a fertility deity, and the Vanir in turn were no strangers to war.

>>48985778
>settled all willy nilly across europe
Except for England they never did that. There was 1 successful siege of Paris and then it all went downhill for them in continental Western Europe

>>48989759
>>48989901
And also, the Aesir was rarely simple and not always physical. Odin, for example, was a god of death, and also of magic, knowledge, poetry, frenzy, and is the creator of the runic alphabet.

>>48989978
Odin 't wasn't inherently a mage though, it was stolen knowledge, rituals, bargains and sacrifice that bought hims his magic and insight.

Yes, and specifically only for warriors. The Folk- part of Folkvangr is commonly understand to mean 'army'. Most people instead went to Hel.

that one part where Odins horse Sleipnir was birthed by Loki when he took the form of a mare and got fucked by a stallion.

>>48994147
My favorite part about the story where Loki gets fucked by the horse was the reason for why he got into that situation to begin with.

A builder comes to the gods and says that he can build a wall for them around Midgard so big and strong that no giants will ever be able to scale or break it, and that he will be able to do this in no more than three seasons. As payment he wants Freya. The gods agree, provided that no man helps him and that if he's not finished in three seasons they don't have to pay him anything.

Oops. Turns out the builder has a magic horse and it seems he will be able to actually uphold his part of the deal. The gods all decide that it's Loki's fault that they might have to pay for this wall and tells him to sabotage the construction.

>The gods agreed that he must have counselled this who is wont to give evil advice, Loki Laufeyarson, and they declared him deserving of an ill death, if he could not hit upon a way of losing the wright his wages; and they threatened Loki with violence. But when he became frightened, then he swore oaths, that he would so contrive that the wright should lose his wages, cost him what it might.

So Loki takes the shape of a mare and lures the stallion into the woods so that he can get some horse cock.

The builder sees that he can't possibly finish the wall now and becomes angry in a way that only giants can. The Aesir sees this and realises that the builder was a giant this whole time so they call on Thor who promptly smashes the giant's head in with his hammer.

>>48994176
>If he *IS* a sun, then he's going to be spending all day getting tanned
Last time I checked the sun looked pretty white.

But on a more serious note, yes. Heimdall in most certainly the sun. His name likely means "The Light of the World", the Eddas tells us his 'head is called sword' which is probably a euphemism for sun beams, his nine mothers were likely the nine waves, which makes sense if you imagine watching the sun rise in the horizon, and in Skaldskaparmál we learn that he and Loki once fought each other in the shape of seals over Freya's necklace Brísingamen - which was also a symbol of the sun. And so on, and so on.

>>It was early in the first days of the gods' dwelling here, when the gods had established the Midgard and made Valhall; there came at that time a certain wright and offered to build them a citadel in three seasons, so good that it should be staunch and proof against the Hill-Giants and the Rime-Giants, though they should come in over Midgard. But he demanded as wages that he should have possession of Freyja, and would fain have had the sun and the moon. Then the Æsir held parley and took counsel together; and a bargain was made with the wright, that he should have that which he demanded, if he should succeed in completing the citadel in one winter.

They blamed Loki just cause.

>>48983454

Yeah, the one time I saw in pop culture about this was Odin's Sphere. That game actually addressed the whole destiny gambit and the most important reason why Odin and in part everyone else was okay with how things went, was because at the end of Ragnarok, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The light being that the world will survive and so will at least a small population of humans. In many ways Odin was one of the original example of the Time Traveler's dilemma, or however you like to call his moment of enlightenment.

Sure they can tell themselves that

Usually when Dwarves were dicks to the Aesir it was because the Aesir had just been dicks to them. Like when Hreidmar is sort of a dick to them, but only because they killed his son Ótr and demanded treasure from him, and then also stole the one treasure he didn't allow them to take.

And sometimes the Aesir were dicks to them just because. The entirety Alvíssmál, for example, is Thor asking Alvis questions about the world, which Alvis answers. This turns out being Thor stalling because he really wants to see this Dwarf turn into stone when the sun rises.

>and demanded treasure from him, and then also stole the one treasure he didn't allow them to take.
No, wait. I remembered wrong. Hreidmar demanded that they fill every inch of his hall with treasure to make up for killing his son, which the Aesir did but included a cursed ring seemingly just to fuck with him. This ring later caused Hreidmar's remaining sons, Regin and Fafnir, to kill him over it and leads to the tale of Sigurd that we all know.

Dwarfs fuck Elves.

"Oh gosh, oh gosh, I can't wait to see this incredibly wise dwarf turn into a rock. This'll be great!"

To be fair, Thor was really trying to get out of having to marry his daughter to Alvis, whom presumably had been promised to him while Thor was away from home. Thor agreed to give away his daughter if Alvis could answer all of his questions, which he could, but by the end of it the sun was already rising.

This whole, weaseling your way out of deals you set the terms for yourself thing is a really common theme in Nordic myths.

Yes, but with more thunder and lightning.

Also loki appears as a fuccboi, tf galore into various monsters and ends up pregnant somehow.

>>48997284
Some versions have the gods be skeptical from the beginning, and Loki is the one who conveniences them it couldn't be done in the given time, hence why they blame him.

That makes more sense, but it's also way more fun to imagine all the Aesir as the scumbaggiest assholes to have ever been concieved.
