In this soft spoken ASMR video, I tell you stories from Norse Mythology and explanations about its context and meaning to the Old Norse.
Stories include the discovery of the runes and the loss of an eye by Odin, the war between the Aesir and the Vanir, the construction of the wall of Asgard, the creation of the World, and Ragnarok, the end of times.
We will meet all sorts of gods and creatures: Odin, Thor, Freya, Freyr, Njord, Tyr, Loki, Heimdall, Mimir, the Norns, Ymir, Fenrir, Jormungand, and many more, across the 9 worlds: Asgard, Midgard, Jotunheim, Vanaheim, Niflheim, Muspelheim, Alfheim, Svartalfheim and Hel.

Some say that those who commit suicide end up in Valhal because they were in a war with themselves, so it would make sense that those in battle with their bodies would also find themselves in the halls of Vahal! Tho that said, Folkvangr sounds more appealing to me, very beautiful and you aren't expecting to give your life fighting in Ragnarok at the end.

The accuracy and details you gave made my husband and I happy to listen to your telling.

Thanks to the French Whisperer... I’m actually able to shut off my over active monkey mind and go to sleep. Been listening over a year now. Thank you!

[@caitlynaebersold8593]

My father believes he was a Viking in one of his past lives. He’s always believed that and felt as if he knew what it felt to be one which is really cool. He’s part Scandinavian which means I am too, reading about Norse culture and the stories about their gods is so interesting. My mother thinks she was a shield maiden that fought aside with my father because they both feel like soulmates. It was love at first sight, they lived in the same area and worked at the same building, just a few floors apart from eachother. They both feel that they were together in a past life and that they fought together as Vikings. They watched the series Vikings multiple times and got me into watching it too. It’s so interesting with how they fought and how they survived back then. Learning the alphabet in runes stayed in my mind and I can pretty much read a full paragraph in runes! Being part Scandinavian is amazing and the fact that one of my ancestors could possibly be Ragnarok or Odin themselves gives me so much confidence and bravery. I really want to learn more about Norse and when I came across this video, it made me so happy that I could fall asleep to the stories about some of my ancestors and how they had to live. Thank you so much for this video❤️

[@felixhenson9926]

Ragnarok isn't a person like Odin... so you can't rly say your ancestors were Ragnarok tho you could guess that some fought in it? I certainly doubt you were descended from Odin himself tho heh, that would be quite a stretch.

[@hilda4032]

Actual swedish person here, you and your parents are weirdos….. how dare you compare yourself to Gods and justify it by saying you are ”part Scandinavian”, I’m all for appreciation but you are just weird and need to back off

[@Val.Kyrie.]

I’m descended from the saxons (first Vikings) in Germany on my German side, and the later Vikings from mixing after the invasions into England, on my English side. I believe I also have Swedish from my maternal line, through my grandmothers father. It was mentioned only once in passing. If you have the right bloodline, Germanic, or from a known mixed english area, or are Scandinavian, then you have Viking blood. (Almost?) everyone in Scandinavia is Viking. It’s not some mythical thing in the past, they were real people and conquered areas, plundered, settled, taxed. What you wouldn’t know is what specifically your ancestors were. I’d suggest reading what the Roman’s said about the Germanic people they interacted with and see if it describes your family. I was nearly laughing as they may as well have been describing my dad, myself and my elder son.

[@nikolausfrank9722]

Sometimes I'm just half awake listening to this while having amazing dreams

[@stephanieturner5931]

I know you do these for sleep (the calm sounds afterwards are great for that) but this is the best way to teach history. All my classmates always fell asleep in the first 5 mins of class, so nothing new, but history gives me severe anxiety (even though I deeply desire learning it) and your presentation really helps me learn and keep me relaxed and calm. You are very much appreciated. I know it wasn’t your original purpose but you’re meeting a different need in the world too. I hope you continue to prosper. Thank you for your work!

[@lioleigh9791]

I love falling asleep/waking up to the atmospheric nature sounds that you keep on for a couple hours at the end of your videos. Especially love that they correspond with the theme of the stories/video and builds an environment that feels so immersive. I hope you keep adding them!

Goodness French Whisperer. Just riveting. I play your videos for my three year old daughter at bedtime. She stayed awake for the first hour of this story tonight, usually your velvet vocals lull her to sleep in 15 minutes.

I love your wisdom, investigations, voice and your heart. For me the souls of fire is not relaxing. I love a campfire. A fire to em warm and protect me. And don’t have any cognitive fears of fire but I don’t find it relaxing when I’m thankfully listening to you put me to sleep. I’m sure many do find it relaxing. I live near volcanoes in Guatemala and maybe that is part of why i actually start and need to turn it off. I’m working thru it tho. Consciously allowing the crackling fire to be ok in my psych. You are a blessing. So know that!

[@breadmonkeys]

Wait, so a horse, *ahem*, "took advantage" of Loki, Loki gave birth to an eight legged horse and then Odin rode it 🤣

If you think that is funny, you need to hear the story about the bet to make a woman laugh, and Loki and the goat.
