Norse Creation Myth - Told by Ginnungagap and Auðumbla This video tells the very beginning of the Norse creation myth, from the vast nothing of Ginnungagap to the first gods. Told by the first beings in creation and the void itself, this tale delves into the first realms, and first beings in creation according to the old Norse myths. Living Mythology is an attempt to entertain, relax and educate all in the one place. We are trying to forge narratives so that people can experience the religions and mythologies of the world as they were meant to be. Not as dry academic monoliths, but as living breathing tales and parables as experienced by the peoples who worshipped these beings, in an attempt to make sense of their own lives and the world around them. This channel is in its infancy, so we hope to improve and develop it as we gain more experience. All of the tales are taken from very conflicting traditions across many centuries, so there will be many a moment when decisions need to be made to create a more cohesive narrative. If we present something that seems to be in contrast to details, rest assured we have researched many forms of the traditions and come to the conclusions we have done to form the videos. There will NEVER be total agreement on any of these narratives due to the history and differing ways they developed over the centuries. These videos are for entertainment and an easy gateway to the subject. If you wish more academic details then please direct your attention to the wide source material and others who perform those types of academic video essays.

And now this is where this channel will truly shine. Showcasing via the same storytellers through the same lense and the same voice (physical as well as literary) the differing myths of differing cultures. As always. Lightbringer, Baldermort. I thank you. Edit: it will also be interesting to see how you tackle a mythology where we only have one partial written account rather than literally thousands of years of known derivitives, variance, and morphing of a pantheon. It will be quite the interesting thing to see how this goes.

In the beginning of the game Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Valka narrates the story of Ginnungagap and the way that she describes it makes it sound like it's the Norse version of what we now call the Big Bang. I've watched your videos on the Norse and I like what I see. It's good to learn about other cultures and how they as a people and their spiritual beliefs interpret the world around them. Will you me making more videos on other cultures and faiths like the Egyptians, Chinese, the many Native Americans tribes, Indians, Inca, Maya, Aztec, Zulu, Celtic, Roman and others?

Only have I recently found your channel, to my unfortune, but I have finished the Greek Saga, and now Into the world of the Norse. The quality of your voiceover's are astounding, of very high quality that is to say. I am a big History Nerd. I absolutely love the Mythos behind the different cultures of our world, past and present. Your work is amazing. I hope to see this channel grow more, and continue making such high quality content. It is hard to find anything Mythological that puts you (us) this much *into* the story, as apposed to just *retelling* it, as most channels do. Great work. And that is light.

Because there are amazing channels on KZbin that go through all the myths and variations / I love looking at the primary ancient Greek writers and all the different versions of a particular myth - but we chose to do something a little different It is fun to imagine them, the gods - all their thoughts and motivations - and bring it back to life almost - make it feel like real people - it’s just great to know other people like it too Thank you for joining our journey - I hope we make it across the whole globe of mythos!

And 1 day might be able to. I wish I could upload pictures of some of the stuff I have created while listening to you guys so you can see it. Because I truly feel that while I am listening to you. And I am creating either a functional. Piece of furniture like the headboard for my daughter. Or just strictly a piece of art for the sake of letting out the burning desire. That comes withat cliche. Because we all are cliche I suppose. I feel that it's also a collaboration. Because the energy that i'm getting from the stories you tell are going into the art

Isn't it amazing that Norse cosmogonic myth of Ginnungagap and Audhumla was confirmed centuries later by astrophysical science? Ginnungagap= Singularity, Hvergelmir = impulse that led to critical mass overload, and then Big Boom. Audhumla and Ymir are related to early conditions and transformations of hot Universe (quark gluonic plasma, etc.) which formed the cosmos we live in. A question arises: where all that knowledge was taken from?

I love this story. I also believe these are all metaphors for the fact Ymir and Amluda *spelling* had sex and formed all the Jotun. But that's just me. A lot of the stuff is metaphorical. But if you notice how the universe was formed in the void, the way he described it was exactly how planets and stuff were made. Fire,gas,ice and cold ECT. Such intelligences. I love it. Praise the Gods.

What an interesting interpretation ! I love it - and yes it is fascinating how accurate to the creation of the universe a lot of the ancient myths are !
