The gods and goddesses from the norse religion

(or, based upon the dialect Woden or Wotan) was the daddy of all of the

Gods and men. Odhinn is pictured either putting on a winged helm or perhaps a

floppy hat, along with a blue-gray cloak. He is able to visit any realm within

the 9 Nordic worlds. His two ravens, Huginn and Munin (Thought and

Memory) fly around the globe daily and go back to simply tell him exactly what

has happened in Midgard. He’s a God of magick, knowledge, wit, and

learning. He too is really a psychopomp a chooser of individuals slain in fight.

In later occasions, he was connected with war and bloodshed in the Viking

perspective, although in earlier occasions, no such association was present.

Contrary, the wars fought against by Odhinn exist strictly upon the Mental

plane of awareness suitable for those of this type of psychologically polarized God.

He’s both shaper of Wyrd and also the bender of Orlog again, an activity only

possible through the strength of Mental thought and impress. It’s he

who sacrifices a watch in the well of Mimir to achieve inner knowledge, and then

hangs themself upon the planet Tree Yggdrasil to achieve the understanding and

power the Runes. All his actions are based on understanding,

knowledge, and also the distribution of ideas and ideas to assist Mankind.

Because there’s duality in most logic and knowledge, he is viewed as being

duplicitous this really is illusory which is through his actions the best

outcomes are created and derived. Just like an item of curiosity:

in not one other pantheon may be the mind Deity even the God of Thought and Logic.

It’s interesting to notice the Norse/Teutonic peoples also set this type of

importance upon brainwork and logic. Your day Wednesday (Wodensdaeg)

is known as for him.

or Donnar, also referred to as the Thunderer, was regarded as a boy of Odin

by a few, but among many tribes Thor really supplanted Odin because the

favorite god. He is regarded as the protector of Midgard, and that he

wields the mighty hammer Mjollnir. Thor is strength personified. His

fight chariot is attracted by two goats, and the hammer Mjollnir causes the

lightning that flashes over the sky. Of all of the deities, Thor may be the

most "barbarian" from the lot rugged, effective, and lives by his

own rules, although he’s faithful to all of those other Aesir. Your day

Thursday (Thorsdaeg) is sacred to him.

is regarded as the goddess of affection and sweetness, but is another warrior

goddess and something of effective knowledge and magick. She and her twin brother Freyr

have another "race" of gods referred to as Vanir. A lot of

the tribes venerated her greater compared to Aesir, calling her "the

Frowe" or "The Woman.Inch She is called Queen from the

Valkyries, choosers of individuals slain in fight to deal with these to Valhalla (the

Norse paradise). She, therefore, is really a psychopomp like Odhinn which is stated

that they will get the "first pick" from the fight slain. She wears

the sacred necklace Brisingamen, which she compensated for by spending the night time

using the dwarves who wrought it in the bowels of the world. The kitty is

her sacred symbol. There appears to become some confusion between herself and

Fricka, Odin’s wife, because they share similar functions but Fricka appears to

be strictly from the Aesir, while Freya is from the Vanic race. Your day Friday

(Frejyasdaeg) was named on her (some claim it had been for Fricka).

(Fro Ingwe) is Freya’s twin brother. He’s the horned God of love and fertility,

and it has some similarities towards the Celtic Cernunnos or Herne, although he’s

Different being. He is called King from the Alfs (elves). Both

Swedish and also the British are stated to become descendents of his. The Boar is his

sacred symbol, that is both connected with war with fertility. His

golden boar, "Gullenbursti", should really represent the

daybreak. He’s also regarded as the God of Success, and it is

wedded to Gerda, the Jotun, to whom he’d to yield up his mighty sword.

At Ragnarok, he’s stated to battle using the horn of the elk (a lot more suited

to his nature as opposed to a sword.)

(or Tiw, Ziw) may be the ancient god of War and also the Lawgiver from the gods. He

sacrifices his hands so the evil Fenris wolf might be bound. Previously

he was the best choice from the Norse Pantheon, but was supplanted by Odin much

later. There’s absolutely nothing to indicate how this happened one assumes he

simply "walked back" and let Odin assume the positioning of

leadership. Tyr is great in most manners of Justice, fair play, and

Right Action.

the Trickster, challenges the dwelling and order from the Gods, but is

necessary in getting about needed change. He’s also referred to as the god of

Fire. Neither an Aesir or perhaps a Vanir, he’s from the race of Ettins

(Elementals) and therefore offers some daemonic characteristics. He’s both a

assistant along with a foe from the Aesir he will get them from predicaments, but

spawns the worst monsters seen evidently of the world: the Fenris

Wolf and Jormurgandr, the Midgard Wyrm. His other children range from the

goddess Hel (Hella, Holle), and Sleipnir, Odin’s 8-legged horse these

beings are in least benign, otherwise somewhat terrifying to behold.

may be the handsome gold-toothed protector of Bifrost, the rainbow bridge

resulting in Asgard, the house of the Gods. The rainbow bridge appears to become a

common symbol in lots of religious traditions apart from Norse Heathenism. In

the Vedic tradition, it represents the Antakaranha of humanity (connection

between your body and also the soul). Other traditions view it like a message from

the Gods, or perhaps a Bridge between your Gods and Mankind. This could have a tendency to

indicate the Norse/Germanic everyone was conscious of the existence of an

overshadowing Soul for everybody, in addition to a group or tribal

intelligence. It’s Heimdall who’s to seem the signal horn towards the Aesir

that Ragnarok, the truly amazing destruction (or transformation?) is starting.

may be the Goddess of Winter as well as the Search. She’s married to Njord, the

gloomy Ocean God, recognized for his beautiful bare ft (that is how Skadi came

to select him on her mate.) Supposedly the bare feet is definitely an ancient Norse

indication of fertility. The wedding wasn’t too happy, though, because she

wanted Baldur on her husband. She’s the goddess of Justice,

Vengeance, and Righteous Anger, and it is the deity who offers the sentence

upon Loki to become bound subterranean having a serpent dripping poison upon his

face in payment for his crimes. Skadi’s character is symbolized in

a couple of Hendes Christian Anderson’s tales: "The Snow Queen"

and "The Ice Princess."

is the Mother of and protectoress of kids. She spins the

sacred Distaff of existence, and it is stated to understand the long run, although she’ll

not talk about it. Some think that Friday was named on her rather of

Freya (see above), and there’s considerable confusion regarding "who

same as the greek Fates. It’s they who determine the orlogs

(destinies) from the Gods as well as Man, and who keep up with the World Tree,

Hulda), and it was portrayed through the Vikings to be half-dead, half alive

herself. The Vikings viewed her with considerable trepidation. The Nederlander,

Gallic, and German barbarians viewed her with a few beneficence, much more of a

gentler type of dying and transformation. She’s seen by them as Mother

Holle a being of pure Nature, being useful in occasions of need, but

sacrificed at Midsummer through the dart from the mistletoe, and it is reborn at Jul

(Yule). Supposedly his return won’t occur until following the onslaught of

the Ragnarok, that we see like a cleansing and enlightenment greater than

wanton, purposeless destruction. Baldur’s blind brother Hodur was his

slayer, whose hands was led through the crafty Loki. He’s married towards the

Harvest Goddess Forseti, the god of Law and Justice Bragi, the bard of

the Gods and muse of Poetry Weiland (Weyland), the Cruz from the Gods,

Idunna, the goddess of Youth and sweetness Vidar and Vali, the sons of Odin

who’ll survive Ragnarok Magni and Modi, the sons of Thor Eostre, the

goddess of Spring as well as fertility, Hoenir, the messenger from the Aesir

Sunna and Mani, the sun’s rays and Moon Ullr, the God from the Search and Nerthus,

Goddess from the Ocean as well as Rivers.

thinking of connecting the different Gods and Goddesses to some system that

wasn’t originated through the Norse. However, to compare purposes,

it’s useful so that you can affiliate the deities using the various signs

from the zodiac if without other reason than to aid in astrological chart
