According to prophecy, at Ragnarok--the cataclysmic 'Twilight of the Gods'---Surtur's access to Asgard will be restored by the giants, as they conduct a final climactic battle with the deities. The runes appear to be symbols that somehow tap into the collective consciousness of humanity in an as yet undetermined manner, and not only allow prediction of likely alternate futures if used properly, but can also be used in spellwork to tap into the hidden forces of the universe that the symbols are representative of. These realms are all linked together by the various branches of the cosmic ash tree referred to in the myths as Yggdrasil (illustrated in the painting at the top of this page). The Fire-Giant Surtr lives in this realm and will emerge at Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods, to destroy Asgard and everything else. A special section of Asgard called Valhalla is inhabited by the souls of heroic and virtuous mortals who followed the Norse path, and these honored dead, known collectively as the Einerjar, are ruled by Odin and Freya (each of whom rules over half of these fallen heroes). Documentation for the significance of the number nine is found in both myth and cult. They existed in the fiery realm of Muspelheim, whose entry portals leading to Asgard were sealed off ages ago when Surtur launched an attack on the godly realm that was repulsed by the three initial members of the Aesir--Odin and his two brothers Vili and Vey, with the latter two evidently sacrificing their physical aspects to seal the portal, conferring their power to Odin. They were maggots at that time, but by a decision of the gods they acquired human understanding and assumed the likeness of men, living in the earth and the rocks. I will endeavor to make this page as succinct and to the point as possible, giving only the basic information that one may require to fully understand and appreciate the complete otherworldly milieu in which the Norse deities operate within.It should first be noted that much of the original myths as written down before and during the Age of Vikings in Europe was lost, and what survived was in certain cases rewritten by Christian monks of Scandinavian heritage who sought to preserve this literary tradition of their culture after the fall of Northern Paganism, albeit adding Christian-inspired conceits to the material. Snorri equates Niflheim with Niflhel which gave rise to his understanding of Niflheim as the location of Hel’s realm. Bestla gave birth to the first of the gods: Odin and his brothers kill Ymir and the giants are all drowned in his gushing blood except for Bergelmir and his wife who escape on a raft and will produce all the later giants who will be the sworn enemies of the gods. The elves are known for inspiring poets in art and Svartalfheim (Old Norse: “Niðavellir or Svartálfaheimr”) is the home of the dwarves, they live under the rocks, in caves and underground. It should finally be noted that certain symbols have become a major part of the Norse mythos, and thus deserve a mention here. Despite our limitations, we are known to have great potential, on both an individual and collective level, to transcend our commonly accepted limitations to potentially become peers of the deities.

The Midgard Serpent encountered Thor on two other occasions in the surviving myths prior to Ragnarok. The northernmost extension of Germanic mythology, Norse mythology consists of tales of various deities, beings, and heroes derived from numerous sources from both before and after the pagan period, including medieval manuscripts, archaeological representations, and folk tradition. The first two realms, Niflheim and Muspelheim were created out of It is not a coincidence that there are nine realms, the number nine is an important number in Norse mythology, and its significance can be found in other poems in the Edda’s by Niflheim (Old Norse: “Niðavellir”) means (“Mist home” or “Mist World”), and it is the darkest and coldest region of all the realms according to Norse mythology.

Anything could happen to a person in Jotunheim as the tale of Thor and Utgarda-Loki makes clear: nothing Thor experiences on his journey is what it appears to be and, at the end of the story, the stronghold and everyone in it disappears.The realm of human beings was first populated by Ask and Embla, from whom all other people are descended. (i.e., mortals)--that's us, a race of limited, fully corporeal humanoid beings of very short lifespan and an even shorter span of youth who inhabit the material realm of Midgard (Earth), which is under the protection of the thunder god Thor.

According to the myths, Odin went through nine days of extreme torturous hardship while being hung upside down from a tree without food and water in order to learn the secret of the runes, which granted him a large measure of his power upon earning knowledge of the universal mysteries they represent. For reasons which are unclear, her realm became associated with the souls of the dead which did not die in Jotunheim (sometimes referred to as Utgard) is the realm of the giants and Frost Giants and is located near both Asgard and Midgard.

Asgard--the realm inhabited by the great majority of the Norse deities, and ruled by Odin and Frigga. The nine worlds in Norse mythology are held in … © Daniel McCoy 2012-2019. Norse cosmology is the study of the cosmos (cosmology) as perceived by the North Germanic peoples.

If Niflhel did exist in Norse cosmology prior to Niflheim, however, has nothing to do with the realm of the dead per se. Norse cosmology divided the universe into nine realms. Loki, the trickster god of mischief, came from Jotunheim but lived in Asgard.
