Odin dwells in Asgard, the palace of Valaskjálf raised by himself, where, seated on the throne Hliðskjálf, look what happens in each of the Nine Worlds. In battle wielding Gungnir, his lance and rides Sleipnir, his eight-legged horse, born of a wondrous union between the god Loki (temporarily transformed into a mare) and the horse Svaðilfœri.
Son of Borr and Bestla giant, brother of Vili and Ve [2], Frigg's husband and father of many gods, including Thor, Baldr, Víðarr and Vali. It is often also called "father of all gods," or even Allföðr ("father of all"). How
warrior god gathers the heroes in Valhalla died in battle, the Einherjar, preside over the banquet. Finally, Odin will lead the gods and men against the forces of chaos in the last battle, when he comes to the Ragnarök, the end of the world, in which the god will be killed, swallowed up by the fearsome wolf Fenrir, to be immediately vindicated by Víðarr that rip the mouth after having planted a foot in the throat.
An important temple of Odin stood in Uppsala, Sweden.
Yggdrasill [yg ˌ ː drasil] nella mitologia norrena, è l'albero cosmico, l'albero del mondo.
I nove mondi sono sorretti dal frassino Yggdrasill, alto tronco lambito da limpide acque.Yggdrasill è il più imponente e il migliore degli alberi. I suoi rami si stendono su tutto il mondo e coprono il cielo. Da essi cadono sulla terra, come gocce di rugiada, stille di miele di cui si nutrono le api. Tre radici reggono l'albero e si diramano estendendosi in tre diverse direzioni.
La prima radice si cala negli abissi più profondi; alcuni dicono arrivi in Helheimr, il regno dei morti, altri che si allunghi invece in Niflheimr, da cui giungerebbe infine alla fonte di Hvergelmir, . Sotto questa radice si trova il serpente Ni ðh öggr e insieme a lui vi sono così tanti serpenti che nessuna lingua può contarli.
La seconda radice si spinge invece verso Jötunheimr , la terra dove abitano i giganti, e arriva alla fonte di Mìmisbrunnr. Qui stanno celate sapienza e conoscenza e colui che possiede il pozzo si chiama Mímir, . Egli è pieno di saggezza poiché attinge alla sorgente con il corno Gjallarhorn. A quella fonte si recò Óðinn e chiese di bere un sorso d'acqua tratta dal pozzo, ma dovette lasciare in pegno il suo eye.
The third goes to the root Midgard, the world entrusted to human beings, and comes to the sacred source of Ur ðarbrunnr , the place where the Æsir take advice every day. Beneath the ash in front of that source, there is a magnificent home and live in it, the Norns, the three girls who determine the fate of the men they name Urðr , Ver Dandi and skulld. In that source, in addition, two live swans: they came across the breed of these birds.
The Valkyrie were other important figures divine feminine, as you choose the brave warriors from the battlefield with them and drove them to Valhalla after their death. It showed on the battlefield, fully armed, beautiful and austere, blacks on white horses or fire that emanated from his nostrils. Only those who were destined to die in the war could see, while attending to the charge of fierce warriors. They were daughters of Odin, and their number varies according to the sources, but are usually either 7 or 9. In Valhalla took care of serving the mead to the brave heroes of the divine and the pork meat Særimnir, which regenerates itself every day. They were considered gods to all intents and purposes, though literary works are mixed with mortal women warriors of legend. The word "valkyiria" comes from the northern, which means "one who chooses the fallen." E 'Valhall etymologically connected with the word, meaning "hall of the fallen."
Runes (secret, whisper)
Each Rune has a deep meaning that can be used both to interpret the influences under way, internal and external to us, and to invoke the power of nature or tune in to it.
In popular culture the Runes have always been seen as having mystical properties and even the supposed etymology of the word from the Germanic rune "raunen" which means "whisper", binds to the mystery and secrecy with these symbols.
Runes, which are commonly called Celtic Runes are the characters of ancient alphabets and Nordic countries which call appropiato Nordic Rune even if they have evolved through Celtic spirituality (see below the "shamanic journey") .
The runic alphabet is currently used in most nosta culture is known as Futhark, a name derived from the first six letters (f, u, th, a, r, k), and consists of 24 letters (the order is different from our alphabet). The 24 runes are traditionally divided into three sets or families such Aetto (plural Aetto), 8 runes each named after both the first letter from the presiding deity. As
runes give access to the human subconscious and are symbols to probe the mysteries of the universe, can be used for Divination, Magic, Protection, Healing, Meditation .
With knowledge and a thorough study of the sound of runes in Old Norse (Old Norse) can be expressed, for example, invocations and evoke powerful spirits and forces of nature. If
E, reciprocamente, le vibrazioni delle pietre, possono rafforzare il simbolismo della runa o favorire la lettura mantica nella direzione più consona al carattere della pietra usata.
YULE: La notte del solstizio invernale (21 Dicembre) è la notte più lunga dell'anno. L'oscurità trionfa, e già prepara il cammino e si trasforma in luce. Il respiro della natura è sospeso. Tutto aspetta nel calderone, Il Re Oscuro si trasforma nella luce infante. Aspettiamo l'alba non lontana, quando la Grande Madre da vita al Sole Bambino, che porta con se speranza e la promessa dell'estate. Chiamiamo il Sun from the womb of the night. The Blessed Virgin takes him to her young womb, the womb that gave birth to all things. Woman spins the wheel again. As it is a solar festival, is celebrated by fire and the name of Yule. It 's the time in which to let go off our fears, our doubts, worn-out ideas and finished projects - anything in our lives that keeps us away from the new beginning that will lead us to new growth. ''It's time to let go of the past and walk toward the light. Yule is celebrated by fire and the use of a strain. A piece of log is saved and held during the year to protect the house. This old English tradition of the matrix was made by a block of oak that was cut, decorated with pine needles and cones, and then burned in the fire to symbolize the sun returns. A different type of Yule log, certainly more useful for modern practitioners, this is what is used now and that's the basis for three candles. Find a small branch of oak or pine, make three holes to hold three candles: red, green and white (season), green gold black (the sun god) or the white, red and black (the Great Goddess). Decorate with the green (I like the ivy and the mistletoe), rosebuds, cloves, flour used to mimic snow. This strain can be burned after Yule or preserved for the coming year. Make sure that you take any strain is not taken from a living tree and that the permit has been requested and has been rewarded with an offer.
