Are you familiar with the creation myth of the world according to Norse mythology?

"Before the beginning there was nothing-just the world of mists, formless and without contours."

Then, in Ginnungagap, from the union of ice and fire was born the first ice giant in history, Ymir, from whom all other Lotun giants originated.

But where did Odin and all the other gods come from? And how were the worlds created?

"Norse Mythology" recounts the birth of the cosmos, the adventures of the gods, and Ragnarok, the day of the end of the world.

Norse mythology is full of highly original myths and legends filled with adventure and magic dating back to pre-Christian times. The adventures of this cult have been passed down from generation to generation by Scandinavian civilizations, particularly the Viking people told in prose and sung in the form of ballads. The Vikings believed that natural disasters were the cause of the wrath of supernatural beings, so they took care to make blood offerings to appease their wrath.

Norse mythology turns out to be among the most original and characteristic of ancient peoples. Odin is the name of the one who was considered the only father of the gods, the most feared and at the same time, the most beloved. Contrary to popular belief, in Norse mythology there is no moral code to follow and there are evil deities, enemies of the gods and sometimes more powerful than the gods themselves.
