LIVING MYTHOLOGY
NORSE MYTHOLOGY: War of the Norse Gods: Æsir vs Vanir - Told by Odin
updated
Hera had rebelled against Zeus and nearly taken his throne, yet she was not able to hold it. Punished for this rebellion by her husband, the lord of the skies and king of the gods.
But how will they ever reconcile?
Living Mythology is an attempt to entertain, relax and educate all in the one place. We are trying to forge narratives so that people can experience the religions and mythologies of the world as they were meant to be. Not as dry academic monoliths, but as living breathing tales and parables as experienced by the peoples who worshipped these beings, in an attempt to make sense of their own lives and the world around them.
All of the tales are taken from very conflicting traditions across many centuries, so there will be many a moment when decisions need to be made to create a more cohesive narrative. If we present something that seems to be in contrast to details, rest assured we have researched many forms of the traditions and come to the conclusions we have done to form the videos.
There will NEVER be total agreement on any of these narratives due to the history and differing ways they developed over the centuries.
These videos are for entertainment and an easy gateway to the subject. If you wish more academic details then please direct your attention to the wide source material and others who perform those types of academic video essays.

Loki Laufeyson, sworn brother to Odin. Seen as a trickster deity, but is that the entire story?
This video goes some way to answer that question from his perspective.
Please note that some tales are to be covered in future videos before commenting about their not being included in this recounting.

This video is told by both Hermes and Hecate.
For the young God Hermes, new to life and godhood, has yet to meet all his family.
In beginning his duties, he comes across a battlefield full of dead soldiers.
He begins to wait for the last few to die, but is interrupted.
Hecate has come for the very soul he waits for.
And so Hermes and Hecate come to a disagreement.
This video explores the many different sides of Hecate and how her power allows her to be involved in many stages of life. This explored some of Hecate's most famous tales, and her powers in the Greek pantheon.

This video is the tale of the Greek Goddess Athena.
Told by the Goddess herself, to an old Athenian woman, Pylia.
Pylia at the end of her life is beginning to doubt her faith in Athena, and the nature of the goddess herself.
Athena tells the tales of the mortals about her and tells Pylia of her perspective.
How she viewed the events of her life, and who she is as a goddess...
These are the confessions of Athena.

The barrow wights of Tolkien's world were inspired by these Norse Mythological monsters.
Powerful and dangerous, they were a curse on the living, a punishment for a life lived without honour.
NOTE 1: Lightbringer has been on summer holiday, so the visuals are not as good as usual.
Baldermort is not as adept at this side of the video making process. His apologies.
NOTE 2: The origin of the Draugr is lost to the mists of time, so Baldermort has done his best to consider why they would exist and what their origins would have been. This is an honest attempt to bring the Draugr a logical background and genesis considering their place in the mythology and the character of Old One Eyed Odin. We believe it is congruent, but this video is mainly conjecture. It is a fun tale that is meant to elicit more interest in the darker and more rarified elements of the mythology.
We hope you enjoy it for what it is.
