You seem to continue the "traditional" distinction between aesir and vanir. Rudolf Simek published a paper in 2010 where he argues, that vanir as an own group of gods "opposing" the aesir is an invention by Snorri. Simek further states, that there's no actual textual evidence for such a distinction between of "families" of the aesir and vanir. It can be read in his essay: "The Vanir : An Obituary" I wonder what your thoughts on this topic are? And maybe this is even worth another video! ;)

Since it was my understanding that the realms were known (Asgard, Midgard, Vanaheim, Jotunheim, Helheim, Niflheim, Muspelheim, Alfheim, Svartalheim) - are we not certain about some of them and the name is sort of "made up" and not actually mentioned in the sources?

[@treyslider6954]

While i don't have the background in the myth that Dr Crawford does, my understanding is that Asgard, Midgard, Jotunheim, and Hel are the only four that are so named in the older texts, and the other 6 were given names by later scholars, and we can't be sure the original norse called them that.

We still use 'æ' in danish, but it differently do not sound like the beginning of 'ash'. The sound of 'æ' in Danish is actually more similar to the start of the english 'a' letter - If you just say the beginning of 'a' then it sounds really close to the danish 'æ'. And funny enough, the sound of the danish 'a' is exactly the same as the 'a' in 'ash' (if you were to say it in english).

Just as a little curiosity I’ve been trying to think of ways Norse belief can be aligned with observations of reality.

So "Old Norse" speakers used a strong "TH" sound like English speakers do? My Swedish relatives can't pronounce "TH", it usually comes out like "T" or "F". Just as I struggle with the "extra" vowels in Swedish. "CH" is difficult for them as well, comes out usually as "SH". "J" becomes "Y" at the beginning of words. Your explanation of proper pronunciation of "extra" Scandinavian vowels is useful to me. Thanks! ;)

Wait, Thjalvi and Roskva are canon? I thought they were only there in Peter Madsen's comics - and later the film adaptation of equal greatness. I mean, he did just illustrate according to three other guys' stories, presumably with some artistic freedoms, but the point is I only thought the kids were included to tie the mythology to the humans and thus to the reader.

It is absolutely fascinating watching your educational videos! Is there a reason for why you only sometimes roll your r? In your educated opinion, how much of all of this is an “Icelandic” creation as a result of the Norwegian - Celtic infusion? Your take on Snorri makes me think of Jóhannes úr Kötlum which took old Christmas folk lore, put it into poems (bundið mál) in the ca 1930s, and now it is something that we feel always existed. Jólasveinarnir og allt það. Heimar for me, as a modern Icelander does not mean home. It means realms like you said, but at the same time you are located there. Kærar þakkir :)

[@1DMapler18]

How do you feel about the Norse mythos presented in Rick Riordan's Magnus Chases series? Though its focused towards young adults, it presents the Norse gods and myths in more modern terms and I find myself very interested in them. He's also done this with Greek and Egyptian mythologies.

[@championgoatherd]

A fantastic video as always D.r Jackson! However your statement that the jötnar not being a separate species from the aesir made me quite suprised! I seem to recall that there are references in the poetic edda to at least one giant who is multi headed, and others that are described as having a monstrous appearence, as well as being abnormally large. As far as I can tell no god is ever described as looking like this. Of course that raises some questions about why giant women seem so popular amongst the gods but maybe some are just monstrously beutiful. In addition, I believe that the dwarves are not ever described as being a short, squat people.

I have a lot of respect for Crawford's work and approach, and he has helped re-center me in many ways following my own graduate studies in Old Norse at Cambridge (UK), UW-Madison, and Freiburg. My own roots are in high Appalachia; my grandfather's speech isn't even spoken today by the surviving old-timers in those parts of Virginia and North Carolina - I resonate in general with both Crawford's Norse and his English. Along the way, I am sometimes curious about his choice of translations of Old Norse where the original sense, imagery, context cannot be carried well in modern (American) English no matter how communicative modern (American) English may be ... among those who think in it (I prefer modern Scots and Northumbrian English myself.) I think his skill in bringing out Norse in the American idiom is fine and unparalleled. But occasionally the translations seem to mislead: _Bǫlverkr_ looks to me like it would mean 'Trouble-maker' or 'Worker of Misfortune.' I don't recall what the Old Norwegian/Icelandic words are for 'ethical evil' (which is what _evil_ nearly always means in modern English), but I always thought _bǫl_ meant 'badness,' i.e. 'a shitty or awful situation.' Óðinn isn't a worker of 'ethical evil' in his own eyes, in his followers' eyes, or even in the eyes of many of his opponents. I'm guessing Bǫlverkr is a title independent of bias from the later perspective of late Norse paganism or from early Norse Christianity. Or is the god quite literally being dubbed the title, "Doer of Ethical Evil?" That seems unlikely to me. Óðinn is Loki's bloodbrother and, like Loki, causes a lot of (seemingly necessary) trouble. The English cognate, _bale_, no matter how mystifying it may be to some speakers of English, nicely captures the sense of 'awful situation.' But perhaps I'm forgetting my Norse; it's possible. I no longer work with the language every day.
