Ægir, Rán and their Nine Daughters: Death and the Sea | (Norse Mythology Explained)

[@whenfishesflew]

Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m from Lincolnshire in England… part of what was “DANELAW” in England at one time. To this day in the small town of Gainsborough we go to see the tidal bore at spring, it pushes the water from the ocean up river and changes the flow direction of the river. We have a special name for this locally: The AEGIR !!!m

Didn’t Ægir also have a son named Snær the personification of snow?

These stories are as deep and fascinating as the ocean itself Anna ! I read some of these as a child - you tell them so beautifully! BTW Love the accents of your eye Makeup ! Thanks so much

[@AnnaBridgland]

Anna Thank you again. I really enjoy your channel and listen while sculpting and painting, hence rarely get time for more than a short comment. I could listen all day. I wish you well

Thank you, I'm glad to hear it!!

This is told and done so beautifully. Your makeup is elegant as well.

@Anna Bridgland - Folklore, Mythology & Fairy Tales >>> FWIW: It is probably coincidence, but I wonder if the *_'nine_*_ daughhters'_ thing was a partial inspiration for the nine-member _"Minbari Grey Council"_ from J. Michael Straczinski's science fiction TV show, *BABYLON 5.*

I miss her old voice, she sounds so different.

My accent has changed a lot since living outside of Australia for so long! I also have different recording equipment which makes a big difference :)

I really loved all the information you provided and you have a very natural cadence to your voice for story telling! Thanks so much!! 💙🫧

[@AnnaBridgland]

Thank you!!

The idea of being swept up in Rán's net is pretty scary, ngl

[@AnnaBridgland]

Just another thing to add to the list of ocean-related fears 😅

She sees anything that falls into her waters as a gift or offering!
