Okay, the whole Christianity can cross with Norse religion... No... Your s**t is so inaccurate its not even funny.


First off, Odin doesnt return from the dead. He doesnt die until Ragnorak. And doesnt return to life, he is re-incarnated (as are all the others killed) and the cycle repeats itself. Aside from that, which they dont have in common... Jesus and Odin have no similarities aside from both being male and having a religious orientation. If your referring to his sacrifice to obtain the runes, he didnt kill himself. His self sacrifice was self-inflicted suffering not suicide.

There is no great flood in Revelations happened long prior, and in Norse mythos the flood is in Ragnorak and is not vengence of a God. Damn near EVERY ancient civilization has a flood myth. But they all run differently.

The pathos heirarchy and theological structure of the Norse is so far removed from similarity with Christian theology that I cant even believe I have to say this.

Hero Of Three Kingdoms
I know i am late in responding to this but i just joined today Odin didnt fear Fenrir. As the all knowing god of wisdom war etc he knew that no matter what he did that he would die at the hands of Fenrir and his son would avenge him he knew who would live and die in the end that is why i respect him so knowing his fate and that of the other aesir and all others elves, humans, dwarves alike he continued to fight and live life as normal. however i do feel sorry for Loki's kids but not for Loki. Imo that is the coolest part about Norse mythology they arent immortal the god die just as humans can unlike greek and other mythologies.


Actually he WAS feared by Odin. Upon hearing that Fenrir would be his death from the Nornir, Odin had him chained in hopes that it would sway the course or at least postpone it. Its also why he didnt step forward to place his arm in Fenrir's mouth as they betrayed him (which concidering binding Fenrir was HIS order, he should have done). Odin wasnt all knowing, he was all wise. Dont mix your theology. All the Aesir were aware of the coming of Ragnorak and continued living. But Odin was a well known sly old coot that had no problem with backstabbing if it suited his purpose, or are you ignoring many of the sagas and myths in his regards?
And Loki, originally, was benign. It wasnt after the Gods began to slight him that his pranks became more malignant to remind them of their faults and fall backs, their failures and betrayels. It was that, that ultimately led to his binding... A bunch of Aesir with severly bruised egos.

Read the sagas, Rigspula, Volspula, Havamal, lore, ect in whole. There is more to it that watered down crap in general Norse mythos books in the new age section.
Odin was far from fearless, far from all knowing (though his wife is allknowing, he isnt), he was far from an idol of honor and virtue.

The only two gods I would readily attribute honor, justice, and virtue too would be Tyr and Baldr. And the only one that I'd attribute fearless to would be Tyr. Thor wasnt fearless by nature, it was his arrogance and pride that made him so.

What do you think about this sentence????:
"the third root reached the Urd's well (in Asgard) which was kept by the third Norns
who are the old wise women and they decided the fate for each personand even for the god too!!"
Sorry for the english!! crying


Not quite...
The Nornir didnt decide anyone's fate. They were just aware of everyones fate (mortal and immortal alike). They were very uninvolved with the proceedings of such aside from occassionally informing or advising the Aesir based on what they felt should be known.

There were, however, lesser Nornir known as "Idisi" that were directly involved with an individuals fate and how it played out. They, like the Gods, are also ruled by the Nornir's guidance however. So if the Norn say "dont" they wont meddle.

Is Fenrir not bad?? stare


No, he isnt. If you were kidnapped from your home along with your two siblings, seperated, raised by and taught to trust the aesir, and then betrayed and bound, all because of a prophesy.... Wouldnt you hold a grudge against the Aesir? Perhaps one strong enough to go to war and seek revenge?

Fenrir was just massive, intimidating and potentially dangerous to the Aesir. He wasnt evil, they just feared him. Especially by Odhinn, once it was prophesized the Fenrir would be the one to kill him.


Ah ok!!
But I have believed he 's bad because he is the Loki's son!!
And Loki is really Bad , no???


but its on Fenrir that he was bound, he knew the gods were trying to bound him and he was so aragent in his strength that he let them try 3 times till he was bound.
Other children of loki include the world serpent that kills thor (Im not going to try and spell his name atm) and odins 6 legged horse. it is said loki gave birth to him wile in the form of a horse razz

No. The first two times, Fenrir felt it a game of sorts in which to show off. Of which ALL the Aesir took pleasure in time to time (which is part of how Baldr met his end).

The third time, Fenrir refused until they GAVE THEIR WORD (gave oath) that if he couldnt free himself, that they would release him. And that to ensure they honor their word, he asked that one of them place their right arm in his mouth to assure him.

Only Tyr was honorable enough to risk his arm in that oath. And because they broke that oath, Tyr lost his arm.

THEY betrayed Fenrir through deceit and dishonor.

And later, Fenrir kills Odhinn in battle at Ragnorok.

Loki had far more Children than that.

His children include:

His sons Fenrir, Iormorgund and daughter Hela (by his Mistress, Angurboda)

His sons Vali and Narfi (by his wife, Sigun)

His daughters Eisa and Einmyria (by his first wife, Glut)

And his son Sleipnir (with the Stallion, Svadilfari)
