• The Story of the Wolf Skoll and Hati Aug 8, 2025

  

  In the time before time, when the gods first set the cosmic order and hung the lights in the sky to give illumination to the newly-formed realms, they created a system of such perfect balance that day and night would alternate in eternal rhythm, bringing light and darkness to all the worlds in their proper measure.

  Sol, the radiant goddess of the sun, drove her golden chariot across the heavens each day, her magnificent steeds Árvakr and Alsviðr pulling her blazing orb from east to west. Behind her, at a distance measured by divine design, followed Máni, the gentle god of the moon, in his silver chariot drawn by swift horses whose hoofbeats marked the passage of time itself.

• The Creation of the World (Yggdrasil and the Nine Realms) Aug 4, 2025

  

  In the beginning, before time itself had meaning, there existed only the great void called Ginnungagap—a yawning emptiness that stretched beyond all imagination. To the north lay Niflheim, a realm of ice and mist, where freezing vapors swirled in eternal darkness. To the south burned Muspelheim, a land of fire and flame, where sparks and embers danced in brilliant light.

  From these opposing forces, creation would spring forth.

  As eons passed, the ice of Niflheim began to creep southward, while the fires of Muspelheim reached northward. Where they met in the great void, something wondrous occurred. The ice began to melt under the heat of the flames, and from the resulting waters emerged Ymir, the first giant, and Audhumla, the primordial cow.
