    Fun fact: Odin hanging himself is the inspiration behind the tarot card the hanged man because it represents sacrifice and wisdom just like Odin did when he went to the tree to study the nine realms

    Odin is honestly the best head god of any mythology. He seems very chill and just wants to learn more about the various things in the world. He seems like he would be very nice to talk with.

    The Aesir didn't lose, it was more like a stalemate, Fenrir got killed by Víðar, Jormugandr and Thor killed eachother, Heimdall and Loki killed eachother, and in the end Surtr burned everything, but underneath the world tree the gods had hidden a means of repopulating the world again, the surviving Aesir where Magni and Modi, Víðarr and Baldr, who returned from the underworld, there was a 5th survivor, but I don't remember who.

      The Norse religion & Christianity got mixed up with who He was possibly?
      Check this out!
      Esus is another name for Odin.
      The word Esus.
      Add a "J" that was later introduced into the Anglo Saxon English alphabet in the 17th century.
      What do you have when you add-
      "J" with Esus? ;)

    I enjoyed this.
    One thing to understand about the Old Norse religion:
    The Old Norse religion is not one set religion with a basic set of morals, laws, or beliefs for that matter. We know a lot about Old Norse and yet we know very little as generally each Jarldom, Kingdom, etc had their own iteration of the religion with perhaps a slightly different story. This is because the Old Norse religion isnt based off of a book like Christianity. It is only stories and "fish tales" happen. The Sami people might have believed something differently from their neighbors whilst still believing in the same God's.
    They all stem from the Proto-Germanic "Old Norse" religion however.

      @RealBallistic SMN Maybe if there was any reasonable evidence for the existence of those Gods then people might not consider it a myth. Yet people know these stories have changed throughout history. You have got a good case though, it's hypocritical! Many religions don't have any reasonable evidence. If they don't they should be considered a myth because truth is determined by evidence. Even if there is no such thing as absolute certainty, you only have what is most probable given the current evidence.

    Since you've done this video and lovecraftian lore videos in the past, would it be possible for you to also do Conan The Barbarian/Kull The Conqueror lore videos? Those are practically non-existent on RUclips but the interest is certainly there considering the most recent Conan games and movie and considering that there are ties between the Conan series and the Lovecraft series since the two authors behind those series were friends and were inspired by each other in writing their stories.

      Well, "evil" is just a matter of perspective. But in Norse mythology there is a lot of beasts. The Jotun are usually considered evil, but they are not really considered gods as they have nowhere near the same abilities of the Gods. There is a Jotun called Surtr, who reigns over Muspelheim and the fire Jotuns. There are others aswell, but he was the first one who came to mind.

    To be honest, Odin sounds like a pretty chill person. Most gods in mythologies (especially the greek ones) tend to be flawed but mostly brutal and cruel towards mortals and even between each other. Here not only Odin walks among mortals, but he even opens his door to one ice giant (loky) and asks him to be part of his family despite his reputation. Odin could be one of the most "good" gods around mythologies, hell he even was willing to sacrifice his eye for wisdom and knowledge. I'm sure there must be a few stories that say otherwise, but by comparison.... yeah odin is a pretty chill god.

  • @IsaacGerken

    Great job on your Odin synopsis, I have studied Norse mythology quite deeply. I believe you're a little off on Loki, however. A lesson that always followed Loki's stories are that no matter how badly you mess things up, it's in your power to fix things, as Loki always did, with the notable exception of his role in Baldr's death, after which he was chained basically forever with snake venom dripping in his eyes, with a loving wife trying to save him from it. Very good to teach what happens when your trickery becomes malicious and causes irreparable harm.
