Twelve gods in Norwegian mythology
Nordic mythology is a polytheistic system, which can be roughly divided into four systems: giant, god, elf and dwarf. Among them, giants created the world and gave birth to the gods, but they were also the greatest enemies of the gods. God is divided into two tribes, the ASIR tribe headed by the Lord God Odin (ASIR) and the Vanier tribe headed by the sea god Niod (Vanier), among which there are twelve main gods:
I. Odin: The Lord God.
The king of gods, the ruler of the world, is also called "Father". He wore a golden helmet and two crows perched on his shoulders, symbolizing "thought" and "memory" respectively. They fly around the world every morning and come back to report their experiences to Odin. There are two wolves squatting at Odin's feet, who are responsible for guarding. In order to increase intelligence, predict the future and rule better, Odin wanted to drink the water from the well of wisdom, which is the holy spring next to the root of ash tree. But Mimir, the giant guarding the oil well, asked him to pay for one eye. Odin immediately dug out an eye without thinking. Drink well water, and you will become knowledgeable. He invented the ancient Norse script (Rhone), which was used by the goddess of fate to record her destiny on the shield.
Two. Frigga (frigga):
Cupid, in charge of marriage and family, Odin's wife. Have dominion over heaven and hell. She is beautiful, with white feathers in the middle of her blonde hair.

Saul was in rags, but he wore a magic belt around his waist, which doubled his strength. Saul wore iron gloves and gripped Miol's magic hammer.

The wolf found that the god who tied him was actually setting a trap and immediately bit off Tyr's arm. From then on, Tyre became a one-armed god. But wearing a sword, he always looks dignified.

However, the official did not give an order to mistletoe, because he felt that this fragile and incompetent plant did not need to be guarded.

Forgotten myth
Nordic myth is a long-forgotten myth. The descendants of ancient Norwegians have abandoned this treasure for centuries.
The descendants of heroes in Nordic mythology are the Germanic peoples in Scandinavia and the lowland peoples in northeast Germany. They grew up in a desolate and harsh natural environment and developed a brave and tenacious character.
Wandering, fighting and hunting are their daily lifestyles. They often expedition to other countries under the leadership of bold and enterprising leaders, and win status and wealth from foreign countries that are not available at home.
The primitive culture of these victorious countries may not be superior to the countries they conquered, nor may their weapons and equipment be superior to each other. But they have fearless adventurous spirit and the courage to die, which is also the reason why the Germanic nation can invade the whole of Europe.
These fearless Germanic warriors gradually expanded the scope of exploration. In 400 AD, they were bordered by the Rhine River and Danube River, and were adjacent to the Roman Empire. When the Roman countries declined, they constantly invaded the territory of the Roman Empire.
By the middle of the fifth century, the Germans were oppressed by Finns from east, west, north and south (that is, the northern Xiongnu who moved westward after the defeat of the Han Empire), which led to the great migration of ethnic groups. This is what Germans call the heroic age, and most of the heroes in Nordic legends are heroes of this era.
As a result of this great migration, the Germans invaded Russia in the east, the French coast and Britten Island in the west, Spain, Italy Peninsula, Sicily and North Africa in the south, and even traveled as far as Greenland and some American continents.
The Nordic myth that has been passed down to this day is the product of this nation. However, the records of myths no longer exist in Germanic countries today. Instead, it is preserved in Iceland, a North Sea island full of volcanoes and glaciers.
The Germanic God was completely forgotten by the Germanic nation, and the most important reason was the contact with the Roman Empire and the assimilation of Christianity through contact. Coupled with natural and man-made disasters, especially the "Thirty Years' War" of 16 18- 1648, Germany's inherent culture was incomplete and barren, and valuable literature and legends fell into the abyss of oblivion and were buried in the long years.
At that time, only Christian priests could read. They are responsible for recording and saving documents. They hate pagan legends, manuscripts and songs and clean them up. Only some materials survived:-Beowulf in England,-Song of Nibelungen in Germany, some fragmentary fragments -Saga (Legend of Heroes), and-Eda, two poems of Icelandic mythology.
In addition, the Germans thought that the ancient Chinese character Runenschrift originally used was a magical spell. If the language is shaped into words, it is equivalent to giving the enemy mysterious power. Therefore, today is not only the belief of the ancient Germans, but also the way of life.

At first, there were only two regions in the world, one was cold and the other was hot. There is a wide and deep crack between these two areas, which is called "Jinnongjia Crack". When hot and cold meet, that is, when flame and ice meet, smoke and water vapor rise in Ran Ran, and then a giant Imil comes into being, and then a Daniel named Andrew Mara appears, who feeds the giant. The smell of the cow is fragrant, and bitter milk drips from four breasts, so the giant sucks the bitter milk of the cow to maintain his life. After sucking enough milk and filling his stomach, Imil was attacked by unbearable drowsiness and fell into a dreamless sleep on the ice.
In a deep sleep, sweat dripped from his left armpit, and a man and a woman, a deformed six-headed giant Thrudgelmir, was born from Imil's feet. Since then, the frost troll has multiplied. Cows lick the salt and frost on the ice for a living.
One day, when it was licking a piece of salt, it suddenly showed its shiny long hair from the piece of salt, which was radiant and touching against the fire of fire nation. The next day, a beautiful male head appeared. On the third day, the magnificent body also appeared from the salt block. It was called the God of Bree, the ancestor of the protoss.
Imil and Bree went to war, so the fierce battle between the giant and the protoss began. In the end, Bree was fatally struck by Imil and fell dead on the ice sheet. The giant won.
But at this time, Bree's son Bohr married a giant and gave birth to three sons, Odin, Willie and Wei. These three gods just want to avenge their grandfathers and continue to fight the giants.
So after a fierce battle that shocked the universe, he finally killed the giant Imil. Odin pierced Imil's chest with a pike, and blood gushed into a sea of blood, in which the giant was submerged.
There was only one man and one woman. Bergelmir, the son of six giants Thrudgelmir, and his wife swam across the sea of blood and fled to the other side of the world, where Jotunheim, a "country of giants", was established, where many frost trolls were bred and vowed to be enemies with the gods forever.
Then Odin began to create the world. First of all, he put Imil's body in the middle of the "abyss" and created the earth with Imil's body. Blood becomes an endless ocean, bones become mountains, and countless hairs become trees.
Odin also chiseled the giant's skull into the sky, made clouds out of the brain marrow, and accumulated graupel and snow in it. The giant's body soon grew maggots, which attracted the attention of the gods and gave them human form.
Because the ice needs strong support, God only chose four Machamp creatures from this new creature to support it. Their names are Nordli, Soudry, Aostri and Vestri, so they are called the four directions of their separation-north, south, east and west.
God just keeps using the giant's eyebrows as a fence. The space inside is called "atrium"-Midgard, and the world is between "the land of death" and "the land of fire".
Then the gods took Mars from the "land of fire" and put it in the sky, creating the sun, moon and stars. The sun and the moon were put on the chariot, and then the gods chose a man (Mani, the moon) and a woman (Sol, the sun) of the giant to drive it.
In addition, the giant Nott was ordered to gallop in the sky on a black horse. Every morning, her son Dag takes over on a light horse, so day and night alternate.
The sun and the moon are chased and sometimes bitten by terrible wolves, forming "solar eclipse" and "lunar eclipse" Wolves always chase each other, and one day they will devour the sun and the moon, and that is the end.
After the creation was completed, Odin and his brother wandered around the coast and admired their achievements. Inadvertently, they found two branches washed ashore by the waves, so they created a man with one branch and a woman with the other elm branch.
Although the ancestor of mankind appeared, it lacked spirituality with the body, so Odin gave human life and soul, Willie gave them reason and action, and Wei gave them emotion, appearance and language.
So men and women who were originally branches have become loving, hopeful, living and dead creatures. They live in the "atrium" with all kinds of gifts given by the gods, thrive and become the ancestors of human beings.
Elves and Devove.
For these two races, Sybil's prediction is described as follows:
"As early as the gods haven't thought of creating the world with Imil's body, many maggots were born from Imil's rotting body. These maggots grab the essence of the giant ancestors, but they are all spiritual creatures. Under the judgment of Odin and other gods, they all have human-like bodies and wisdom. The maggots growing from the bright side of the corpse become elves or light elves, while the maggots born from the backlight side of the corpse become dark elves. People generally call them dwarfs. Four dwarfs supporting the southeast and northwest sky were born in Emile.
The elves are bright and dazzling, very beautiful. They are usually gentle, cheerful and enthusiastic, and can communicate with trees, flowers, fish and birds, so the gods regard them as friends. They often help the gods to manage the world, especially the affairs of the sun, moon and stars.
Although dwarfs and elves are the same thing, their looks and temperament are diametrically opposed. They are short, ugly, dark, lustful, cunning and lying.
Elves and dwarves belong to demigods. They serve God. Because of their beauty and gentleness, the glowing elves can live next to God and build a delicate elf kingdom around the kingdom of God. Because of his bad personality, black dwarf was punished by the gods to live underground, and was not allowed to be irradiated by the daytime light, otherwise it would turn to stone or melt away. To this end, short people dug holes in soil or rocks to build nests, forming the black elf country, or dwarf country. "
