NORSE MYTHOLOGY: War of the Norse Gods: Æsir vs Vanir - Told by Odin

This story is told by the mighty God Odin, who recounts the first war in Norse Mythology. A war between the Gods, the Aesir and the Vanir.

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.

Written and Narrated By: Baldermort
Arranged and Edited by: Lightbringer

No god, I am aware of mythology, had ever before changed their aspect. That alone is a testiment to his power. But I have to say, the name Allfather is making more and more sense. He starts off like a typical youthful man, full of bluster, wrath, energy, and ready to meet any challenge head-on. But just like any man, he learns hard lessons through experience. Odin grows as he goes about it, becoming more wise and learned as time passes. The way you describe him, he reminds me of my grandfather; kind, wise, and experienced, but always ready give you an infernal beat down if required. As always, Sir Baldermort and Lady Lightbringer, you have done a most excellent job with this story. I eagerly await your next tale. 🤠

[Kilkennyspurs]

Many thanks for this MR.B. another brilliant episode in the story of the Gods. As ever greetings from Kilkenny R.O.I 🇮🇪

Oooo this one is so tricky to cover because the vanir as almost Elvish nature gods have a definite tricky deceptive and fey aspect I wanted to give you all the bonus points because this is such a tricky subject and the fact that there were multiple Pagan traditions among different tribes and peoples probably contributes to this vibe you're doing such a good job but you can almost see a very Celtic overlap with the Vanir such good work!!

[stax]

Woah, that was awesome. Love the Talking Odin head, great animation. Well done.

[farawaytales]

This will be a great one! Can't wait to see the Vanir at last!

[johnbradley]

[KharnDaLoyal]

[sarahgirlisit]

I can’t wait until you do individual gods and goddesses.

[mrfans]

Love the artwork accompaniments, hate the talking faces. 🙂 Gets me right in the uncanny valley.

[doom]

It took me a while to get to this video, but I love it just the same! Wonderful work. Using the AI faces to tell a story was an interesting touch

[jamescarter]

I am ready to finish the last 7 minutes of this wonderful. Put together tail and i'm telling you what big capital b This I believe is one of the best pieces that you've done. When I tell people talk to people about the feeling of the inspiration to create art.
You, my friend. Alright, true artist and and at least as far as I know. And think anyway, you are a regular human human and male not to touch anything along with anything else? But I think you'll find this funny because back in the old days. That was newspapers and books and magazineeds to take to the morning's Thrown However this morning i'm gonna take this definish listen to a set upon the Throne

[Wolf-bzkq]

The animated faces are disturbing as hell

[jplatt]

Live & learn from mistakes..

..with age comes wisdom.

[trajanfidelis]

The battle begins. The AI is a great detail!!

[astronyt]
