Northern Mythology: From Creation to the End of the World (and Rebirth)

Northern Mythology: From Creation to the End of the World (and Rebirth)

Beginning on 14th of November and for each subsequent month over a one year period, I will  tell and explore the entire myth cycle of the Prose and Poetic Edda (The Viking Myths) - a journey that will take us all the way from the Creation of the World, to the World's End and its Re-Birth. We will explore these stories together and after each storytelling session there will be conversations about the symbols and truths that we find within them and we will discover what this literary world-heritage can offer the world today.  

The stories will be performed and be accompanied with traditional Baltic Lyres.  Star constellations will be joined within the stories whenever possible for us to learn to perceive a new mythic roof over our heads.   The Old Norse language will also be heard in the tellings.  You are welcome to join for all, a few, or one of these sessions, whatever works for you; each session will be stand alone and recorded for you to keep.  As a conclusion to this journey, the last story I will tell is the story of "Beren and Luthien" from JRR Tolkien's own imagination, deeply influenced by Northern Myth and the Elvish Sindarin language will be weaved into this telling.  

The titles over the 12 months will include: The Creation Myth, The Price of Wisdom, The Treasures of the Gods, The Master Builder, Loki's Children, Freya's Wedding, The Blood of Wisdom, Thor's Journeys, The Apples of Immortality, The Sickness of the God of Love, Thor's Goes Fishing, The Mistletoe Arrow, The Last Days of Loki, the Endings of the Worlds, Rebirth and - Feet as Light as Linden Leaves -  (Beren and Luthien).

Bring a candlelight and listen in to some wisdoms that have stood the test of time.

Ver Heill ok Sæll!
