There are different ways to study runic magic. Usually
people who use runes for the first time do it to solve everyday
problems: to heal themselves, to help loved ones, to attract
money, to attract love - in a word, everything that is close to
the heart and needed by the body. Nobody is saying that this
is petty or wrong - we are doing all this and will continue to do
it, including on the pages of this book. But first of all, the
student of runic magic is interested not so much in everyday
effects as in his own transformation. You can learn ordinary

chain, the Fehu rune connected with the Dagaz rune, and all 24 runes

through consistent transformation, recalculation of all data, connections,
causes and consequences. Basis
was the task that everyone who entered the process of change through the
runes set for themselves: who to become? How
change yourself so that reality changes?
Futhark is designed in such a way that every transformation that a rune
makes gives the basis for each subsequent one to include its own special
processes. But, having closed
runes into a chain, the transformation becomes continuous; cor-

and legends, stories about their exploits and their defeats.
Without hiding the truth, they opened up space for their descendants

Everyone who has gone through the futhark notes an

feeling of oneself, confidence in one’s capabilities is
the little that the runes give, but such sensations are natural, since
these are the feelings of a warrior. Runes are a warrior's tool.
The power that touches the mind is quite palpable,
but not yet personified: who is she? what is she? Do you have
her name? Which god does it belong to? what does this mean in
the future? But knowing it is very important. Very. It is cognition

To know means to understand. After all, runes are not only a


tool that changes something in the mind, but also a force
which has a real impact on the outside world. And this is a
completely different level of skill and a different level of responsibility.
When you understand this, it becomes obvious that

very significant. Runes always work, even if it seems to you that
they don’t work. To see and understand this, you must first of all
obtain complete knowledge about the consequences and causes,
about actions and results - how to reflect them
in magic.

This book will outline the basic and mandatory
execution of laws. We will examine in detail the forces that

Practicing magicians - Erili2 - have long noticed that runic

if you knit them “on the channel”. This term means the touch of
the magician's mind to the mind of a certain god. In progress
such a touch, the magician becomes a conductor of power and

on this channel, it fits not only from his own, but also from his
name.

your mind in accordance with these mandatory “technical
characteristics”, and preliminary

Each force has its own demands. You can know them reliably
only by immersing yourself in the study of primary sources,
in our case – myths of the northern tradition: sagas, eddas, legends
and legends. This is the main source of information for both the
beginner and the most experienced eril, because everything is
written down there. How to read it correctly? How to hear? How not
misunderstanding?
The answers to these questions will be the solution to the problem that
we will put the second one here.
This book consists of two parts: theory and practice.
I highly recommend that you begin the practical use of runic formulas
and staves only after you have studied the runes themselves,
passed the energy of each
through yourself and allow it to transform your mind to
different range of possibilities. There are plenty of sources for
knowledge of runes, and my book “Runes Reveal the Secrets of the
World” is regularly published by the Tsentrpoligraf publishing house.
Remember that the consistent transformation of the mind "from
simple to complex" will give a better effect than trying

The study of runes awakens in the mind specific personality
qualities that allow the power that transforms simple nature to be
constantly present in the mind. This means that the process of
internal transformation
will never be completed: what has been achieved will never be
enough, but what has been received and learned now will generate
many additional tasks, opening the way for new opportunities in
tomorrow. But magical power never

and requirements; it teaches you to do the right things, make
timely decisions and leave behind the right traces; she, of course,
controls what is executed.
Runes are a magical tool, which means that they
have their own consciousness. This consciousness has a
predisposition to identify its own and others. So that only your
own remain. Correct reading of primary sources,
understanding their hidden meaning will help every seeker
attract into life those forces that will lead him further along

The search will bring results into the life of the seeker, will give
its effects. Search is already a process of cognition, comparison of

you will definitely encounter that the channel of some god

gives unprecedented strength, but some channel, on the contrary, is at its best
in case it does not change anything, and in the worst case it closes consciousness,

It is difficult to know your individuality. It is much simpler to say “I

In the system of the Nine Worlds, man’s place is determined in
the middle world of Midgard. If you look at the location of Midgard on
the tree, you can easily notice that a large number of connections are
drawn to the human middle world, but these connections are not with

Origin of the world.


Birth of the Gods
Almost all religious systems, regarding the issue of
birth of our world, indicate that the gods were born
with him. Nor does the northern
tradition. Tradition says that
At first there was nothing: no earth, no sand,
no cold waves. There was only one black abyss
Ginnungagap. To the north of it lay the kingdom of mists
Niflheim, and to the south - the kingdom of fire Muspelheim. Quiet,
it was light and hot in Muspelheim, so hot that
no one except the children of this country, the fiery giants,
could not live there, in Niflheim, on the contrary,
Eternal cold and darkness reigned. (Younger Edda)
So, the reason for the emergence of the system of worlds
was the presence of two opposites, two forces, diametrically
different from each other. Sooner or later they must
were to touch, to meet in the vastness of the Universe,
for here the first magical principle is at work: nothing
may be static, development occurs only in movement. The
principle of the necessity of this movement is embedded in
the physical and mental laws of the world: opposites
attract as positively and negatively charged
ny particles. And so it happened.

But in the kingdom of fogs the spring Gergelmir began to flow.
Twelve powerful streams, Elivagar, were taken from

falling into the Ginnungagap abyss. Severe frost
the kingdom of fogs turned the water of these streams into ice,
but the Gergelmir spring flowed incessantly, icy
the blocks grew and moved closer and closer to
Muspelheim. Finally the ice came so close to
the kingdom of fire that began to melt. Sparks flying
from Muspelheim, mixed with melted ice and
breathed life into it. And then over the endless
icy expanses from the Ginnungagap abyss suddenly
a gigantic figure rose. It was the giant Ymir,
the first living creature in the world. (Younger Edda)
Two opposites, uniting with each other at the same time
in an endless struggle and unthinkable attraction, will
always ultimately give a third force - the result. And this is
the second magical principle, which says that power
(energy) does not disappear, but is only transformed under
the influence of information.
From now on, in our biological life, and in the physical
world, and in its mental projection, always and in everything
This principle works: energy is combined with information

neither energy nor information on their own ceases
exist, but from their connection they generate a third,
independently existing and ready for further projection of itself. A man and a
woman,
combining their biological nature, give birth to a third thing - their child,
but at the same time they themselves do not cease to exist. This is how it is
said about it in the “Prophecies of the
Völva”:

I remember the giants, born

before the century, they gave


birth to me
in ancient times;
I remember nine worlds, and
nine roots, and the tree
of the limit, which has
not yet sprouted.

At the beginning of time,

On the same day, a boy and a girl appeared under Ymir’s left hand, and from
his feet the six-headed giant Trudgelmir was born. This was the beginning of a
family of giants - the Grimthursen, cruel and treacherous, like the ice and fire that
created them.

The Elder Edda (“Speeches of Vafthrudnir”) tells about this event as


follows:

One said: “Give

how the earth was
created, how the sky
came into being, Jotun, open to me?”

Vafthrudnir said: “Ymir’s


flesh became
earth, his bones
became mountains, the
sky became the skull
of a cold thurs, and
his blood became the sea.”

One said: “Give


me the fifth answer,
since you are considered
smart and know everything,
Vafthrudnir: who at the
beginning of time was the
eldest of the Aesir and relatives of Ymir?”

Vafthrudnir said:

«For many winters

before the creation of the earth

there was Bergelmir turs,


Trudgelmir was the name
of his father’s
turs, and Aurgelmir was his grandfather.”

One said: “Sixth,

give me an answer, since


you are considered wise and
know everything, Vafthrudnir: where
did Aurgelmir, their first
ancestor, come from among
the Turs?”

Vafthrudnir said: “The cold

the giants come from,

One said: “Eighth,


give me an answer, since

Vafthrudnir said: "For


many winters
before the creation of the earth

there was Bergelmir Tours;


They put him in a coffin in front of me -
that’s the first thing I remember.”

The Younger (Prose) Edda continues:


At the same time as the giants, the giant cow Audumla emerged
from the melting ice. Four rivers of milk flowed from the teats of her
udder, giving food to Ymir
Machine Translated by Google
and his children. There were no green pastures yet, and
Audumla grazed on the ice, licking salty ice blocks. By
the end of the first day, hair appeared on the top of one
of these blocks, on the next day - a whole head, and by
the end of the third day, the mighty giant Storm emerged
from the block. His son Bor took the giantess Bestla as
his wife, and she bore him three sons-gods: Odin, Vili and Ve.
But nothing is eternal in this world, even the stars go out
and the gods are mortal. The old must give way to the
new, and the second magical principle works here too:
everything is transformed, but does not disappear. So the
progenitor of the old gods, Ymir, became the foundation on
which the new gods built the first reality.
The god brothers did not like the world in which they
lived, they did not want to endure the rule of the cruel
Ymir. They rebelled against the first of the giants and,
after a long and fierce struggle, killed him. Ymir was so
huge that all the other giants drowned in the blood
gushing from his wounds, and the cow Audumla also
drowned. Only one of Ymir’s grandchildren, Bergelmir,
managed to build a boat, on which he and his wife
escaped.
Now no one stopped the gods from arranging the
world according to their wishes. They made earth from
Ymir's body, in the form of a flat circle, and placed it in
the middle of a huge sea, which was formed from his
blood. The gods named the land "Midgard", which means
"middle country". The brothers then took Ymir's skull and mad

the firmament of heaven, from his bones they made
mountains, from his hair - trees, from his teeth - stones, and
from his brain - clouds. The gods turned each of the four
corners of the firmament into the shape of a horn and planted
them in each horn according to the wind: in the northern -
Nordri, in the southern - Sudri, in the western - Vestri and in
the eastern - Austri. From the sparks flying out of Muspelheim,
the gods made stars and decorated the firmament with them.
They fixed some of the stars motionless, while others, in order
to recognize the time, placed them so that they moved in a circle, g
it in one year.

Having created the world, Odin and his brothers planned


to populate it. One day on the seashore they found two trees:
ash and alder. The gods cut them down and made a man out
of ash and a woman out of alder. Then one of the gods
breathed life into them, another gave them reason, and the
third gave them blood and rosy cheeks. This is how the first
people appeared, and their names were: the man was Ask,
and the woman was Embla. The gods did not forget the
giants. Across the sea, east of Midgard, they created the
country of Jotunheim and gave it to
Bergelmir and his descendants. Over time, there were
more gods: the eldest of the brothers, Odin, had many
children, they built a country for themselves high above the
earth and called it Asgard, and themselves Asami.
So, as the story goes, from primordial matter, from the body of
the giant Ymir, the gods created the worlds. But not all at once, but
only those that were considered necessary.

Each world was created from the primal substance - Ymir. Gods
dismantled it into parts, where each part carried certain
special and unique properties of the first ancestor. The gods
connected these isolated parts together into a new scheme, and this
the scheme that we now know under the name “Tree of Yggd-
rasil” is also Ymir, but different. The first ancestor shared
chaotically, filling the entire space - without meaning and
goals, he filled everything with just the fact of his existence. The
gods decided differently and did it differently: now each world is
bordered and self-sufficient in its own special property, but,
interacting with each other, they begin to develop no longer
haphazardly, but according to the goal, according to the task set
by the gods. Ymir, a creature of chaos and, in fact,
he himself is chaos incarnate, being dismantled into parts,
connected in a different sequence, turned into Yg-gdrasil, the
Tree of the Nine Worlds. Chaos has become order.

Muspelheim, world of primordial fire


An unimaginable world of energy, giving impetus to any development,

which is the key to this world, describes the qualities of the primary
fire - transformation, transition. A power that can bring change and
create. This is the fire in the forge, the fiery Titans, the fire of Prometheus,
the primal substance of creation,
The Grail of the Outcasts.
In the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson (in the version known
Noah as the Uppsala manuscript) says:
“There are many good palaces and many bad ones; But
the best thing is to live in Gimla near Surt”... The owner of Gimla -
Surt, who is called the king of eternal bliss and
lord of the southern limit of heaven. It was even assumed
that Surt is that mysterious “mighty lord”,
who will come to rule the world after Ragnarok.

Ancient legends tell that there was once a single god. He did not
yet know that he was a god, he was alone in the endless ocean of
chaos. Originated in God
thought, and God wanted to know himself. To do this, he laid out
himself into parts, into the smallest parts that he was capable of,
and sent them on a free journey so that each of them would gain
their own experience, know themselves and return
to the original source, changed, transformed, with new knowledge
about oneself. Then God will connect all his smallest parts back
and know himself entirely.
Muspel's fire is precisely the primary force that
is capable of dividing everything into the smallest parts and giving
them the opportunity to manifest themselves independently, infusing
each separate part with a particle of primary life. Giant's Strength

The world of Nifelheim (sometimes Niblheim or Niflheim) in the mythology of the ancients
Scandinavians is one of the Nine Worlds that make up the observable Universe
(Yggdrasil). The etymology of this word is ambiguous; in all likelihood, we are
talking about the Old Norse niflheimr. At the same time, many sources (in
in particular, the now popular Wikipedia) are cruelly mistaken in this regard,
translating the word “Niflheim” as “abode of mists.” In fact, about nothing
there is no speech here in the fog. If the base heimr is completely translatable
(literally - “earth” or, rather, “earth”), then nifl, according to M.I. Steblin-Kamensky,
whose authority in the field of Old Norse linguistics is indisputable, is translated
as "dark". Thus, Niflheim means "dark lands" or, if
to put it a little more poetically, “the world of darkness.” Note source: © runarium.ru

People call that house the Hall of Joy. They also made

The gods (and the all-wise Odin himself) constantly turn to
to the Jotuns for both advice and help. But, being “from-

cut into a slice”, they do not always receive a warm
welcome in Jotunheim. Therefore, in order to obtain the
necessary information to build their laws and a new
reality, the gods often have to use cunning, flattery, and
force. The Elder Edda and the Speeches of Vafthrudnir
talk about it this way:

One said: “Give


me some advice, Frigg, I’m
going on a journey
to visit Vafthrudnir!” In
ancient knowledge I want
to measure my
strength with the wisest.”

Frigg said: “It’s


better to stay, Rathei

halls of the gods -
Vafthrudnir is reputed
to be the strongest of the
Jotuns, who can compare with him!”

Frigga said:
“Wander healthy, return
healthy, have a

May wisdom be your
help there in your

In essence, the world of Jotunheim is a huge memory. Here everything


that was is accumulated and stored, and the Jotuns themselves are the
genetic carriers of such continuous memory. They do not know good and evil,
they do not separate information from the past into what is necessary and what
the right one.

Intelligence and wisdom are the main qualities of the world of the

A person, being in the center of rotation, produces a moment of time,

All worlds are fighting for this resource, trying to introduce their own rules

information, to reveal the hidden meaning of the message of the gods. It

universal key to his understanding.

having been in the crucible of Christian melting of everything with everything,
it had to remain inviolable and unchangeable

Cleaning away the remnants and scraps of the once powerful epic from
Christian touch, restoring bit by bit the mosaic of meaning, we will try to
find this hidden message - commandments and parting words for us, the
living, and the young gods who replaced the Ancients. If it works out as
planned, then
We will restore and reanimate the Yggdrasil world program, we will build
the world anew according to old drawings, but taking into account

the main human qualities and the main power of the gods
there had to be Valor and Honor. That's right, with great
letters.
They say that once the One, breaking itself into a huge

the number of smallest parts allowed these parts to develop
independently. This is how the gods appeared. Each god decomposed
himself into billions more parts - this is how people appeared.
Each god worked “on his own topic,” that is, he developed himself
in a certain way. The northern gods were working on creating a
universal algorithm that would allow
the concepts of “valor” and “honor”, bringing them to perfection.
And not only people became full participants in this
process, but the gods themselves took the most active part in it
participation. So the sagas told.
But the gods had not only helpers, but also opponents.
Some, out of hostility, tried to stop them. Others are from
friendship - tried to do the same. What's the difference?
V motifs.
When everything goes smoothly, when there is no development, when in joy
victory, you don’t notice the price at which this victory was achieved,
it’s easy to stop searching and be satisfied with what you have achieved
and ultimately lose. A harmful friend will point out mistakes, push you
and stimulate you to action.
If you understand this, then know that you have found an ally in your
deeds, the one who loves you sincerely - not with words, but with
intention, action. But if you don't understand, then the difference betwe
friend and enemy will be erased, for you judge by deeds (which is
wrong), and not by motive (which is right).

Pantheon of the Northern Gods


From now on we will study the pantheon of the northern gods.
It must be said right away that the pantheon of gods is
not egregors. Egregors are made by human minds,
relying on the idea of some god (force). The Pantheon itself
- family of minds.
To understand what the gods were trying to convey to us
through sagas, myths and traditions, we must first of all turn off
your critical thinking and do not forget that gods are not
People. Although they describe their adventures in a human
manner. Every saga is an encrypted algorithm
an action that either leads the quest participant to success and
victory, or not. In the second case, the adept should not
just bite your lips in frustration for your “favorite hero”,
but also to draw conclusions - for what reason the action program
this or that deity was unsuccessful and that it is possible
there would have been something to do then (and now) to change this.
Each god or goddess, the history and power of which we will
study further, is not only a manifested mind, but also
information structure rich in methods of achieving
result.
The family of gods is not a random formation, it is not worth
confuse it with the concept of “family” in the human world. If
If we want to draw an analogy, then, rather, the family of gods is a group

practicing a specific task, developing specific survival and control
algorithms that
must, by design, always exist and provide law. To provide for those
new gods and people who, by blood or spirit, will be the descendants
of these forces, that is,
continuers of tradition, implementers of ideas.
The creation of such a person - an ideal person - is
in all mythologies. Not always as a red thread, but still clearly
enough for the researcher to see, the purpose of the gods is
revealed at a certain stage of their activity -
create a human mind that would be able to consistently absorb all
the algorithms developed by the gods
pantheon. And through this - to create such a human consciousness
that will absorb the algorithms of all pantheons, all
gods, all systems. Otherwise, become a knower of good and evil.
This task did not bypass the northern gods either.
The Elder Edda describes the process of human creation as follows:

And three came

and mighty ones to the sea,

They did not breathe,


there was no spirit in
them, no blush on their faces,
warmth and voice;
Odin gave breath, and
Hoenir gave spirit,
and Lodur gave warmth.
and faces blush.

(Völva's Divination)

The Younger Edda unfolds this story prosaically and in detail: “...Where did the people
inhabiting the

earth come from?” And the Tall One answers: “The sons of Bor were
walking along the seashore and saw two trees. They took those trees and
made people out of them. The first gave them life and soul, the second -
mind and movement, the third - appearance, speech, hearing and sight.
They gave them clothes and names: the man was named Ash, and the
woman Willow. And from them came the human race, settled by the gods
within the walls of Midgard. After this, they built themselves a city in the
middle of the world and called it Asgard, and we call it Troy. The gods
began to live there with all their offspring, and there the beginning of many
events and many strife on earth and in heaven.”

This description shows us that the gods created “their own”


Machine Translated by Google
man is not made from just anything, but, firstly, from natural, living
material; secondly, they put parts of themselves into it.
Moreover, please note, both men and women are exactly the same.
They invested their soul, personality, and character traits. It is clear that
they could invest in this way only what they themselves had: their breath,
their character, their
consciousness. Hence the common understanding in ancient times that
Each person has those characteristics of the god(s) who supervise
(created) him. Flesh was not created
(Mom and Dad did a great job with this), and his soul, especially

What personality traits are determined by the presence

It seems that everything is simple, but only if what was

The northern myth concerns not man, but the gods.
Everything that is done by God becomes a law for man. God

God - under the same circumstances, man will lose. Without

Each god in polytheism is a facet of the system.
Conducting further practice within the Yggdrasil Tree system,
passing through information channels of the northern
gods, you will be able to make yourself, your personal system of rights
and values less dependent on those structures and systems
that have nothing to do with you personally. Immersion of
your consciousness inside the Tree of the Nine Worlds will
help you achieve this effect. Take this
immersion as a test space for honing the result. Like a
“cloud” in which some new reality is created, which will be
taken out and introduced into the general system of multiple
realities only when it is debugged to perfection. This will
protect you from

learn to see and understand how the point of convergence of
realities (in this case, the world of Midgard) is affected by a huge
number of information channels and how these channels change
reality.
The entire pantheon of the northern gods (as, indeed, any
other pantheon) is always a family with a complex system of
blood ties and inheritance, with intricate, as usual in
large family, internal kinship and ethical
relationships. But this is from a human point of view. It will be
enough to remember once again that gods are not people,
and minds; their tangled relationship is nothing more than
information processes that generate specific effects during
interaction. Enough to remember this and you and I will
immediately move on from everyday gossip to
science. Or rather, to magic.
However, a person differs from a magician in that, to simplify
anything for the sake of one's own understanding, lowering God to
his half-animal level, he, having understood something, forgets
lift it back and unpack it understood not only to the world
human, but also for all manifested reality. But magicians don't
forget. That’s why they see further and know more.
Therefore, you and I, analyzing the myths and legends about the north,
Machine Translated by Google
gods, let us always try to remember that we are dealing with
minds so ancient, so strong that all
other modern religions are like a baby before them
in front of an ancient old man, like an acorn in front of an oak tree, like a fry
in front of a school, like a snowflake before an avalanche in the mountains. And How
man before the abyss.
It would be a big mistake to treat the gods as equals
to yourself. Many beginners stumbled over this and did not get the
desired result from this gross mistake - strength and
knowledge. I would like to warn you against misunderstanding -
simplifying and belittling the gods. But, on the other hand
on the other hand, the minds of ancient pagan deities, the minds of
the Ancients and Primordials also do not perceive the state of reality
ligious ecstasy, do not accept the feelings of creatures at all
ity and numinous state of mind. It's impossible with them
speak using the method of prayer - memorized ready-made
formulas, the meaning of which the speaker does not understand.
They do not answer the kneeling and beating forehead “slave”, for
the northern military tradition is not a slave system. Ancients
believed that if one kneels before the highest, then
certainly only one thing - to rise from such a position -
It’s much easier.
The channels of the northern gods can be very tough, but they
never humiliate themselves or the person in it. Northern
morality knows the importance of self-esteem.
Therefore, remember that the two extremes are familiarity and
Machine Translated by Google
greed - are equally bad and will not give the seeker what
what he is looking for. Dignity. Respect. Respect of the student
before the teacher. Caution in judgment and slowness in
conclusions The ability to admit your mistake, if you understand,
which is wrong. The ability to go to the end if you know that you are right.
These are the personal qualities the gods love, and they will lead
him along the northern path.
Northern magical tradition (as well as any
another pagan tradition) does not imply adoration of the deity, but
the desire to become a deity internally. Is not
a personality to be stupidly admired, but a model to be imitated.

The first god who will teach us a “different view” is

more than a thousand names - he was truly a multifaceted

However, for the sake of truth, it must be said that initially the
supreme god in the northern pantheon was the god of truth Tyr

What was so outstanding about Odin, what exactly
he, and not the thunderer Thor, not the White Ace Heimdall, not
the beautiful Frey, became the head of the entire family of northern
deities?
This is what needs to be sorted out.
The versatility of the god Odin shows that in all his guises he
left a visible mark on the canvas of reality.
He could manifest himself in various forms without the slightest
loss of integrity, and this versatility allowed him
absorb algorithms for victory and success of other deities;
made him really a god, knowing good and evil.
It is not for nothing that the name of Odin is strongly associated with the occult.

However, to meet the stated requirements,
the mind of Odin himself had to undergo a corresponding
transformation - necessary and sufficient to fulfill his mission.

How it was?
At the very beginning of creation, the worlds were connected with
each other very conditionally. In this regard, there was no working system
and for this reason the law of balance was fiercely violated.
The worlds that existed from eternity were not created by the
Aesir - they existed long before the birth of Odin and his brothers
the merit of the aces was that they were able to connect various
worlds with a single logical essence, which is called

However, in fairness, it must be said that what to do
system programming and some “legalization” of their works
were forced by circumstances, and not by their own desires or
well-thought-out projects with far-reaching
plans. What was done initially - worlds with different
properties - the gods did for themselves, for play, for pleasure
actions.

Each world must and will be connected with any other world by
specific connections. A correctly constructed system of

the basic law of the universe, the basic magical law - the Law of

Speeches of the High One)

One was cut off from his usual power sources, he


was self-sufficient in the initiation process; he himself became the Tree,
and the Tree became him. The runes that the god Odin received were
an absolute reflection of his self-sufficiency. Pay attention to an
important point: Odin did not invent runes -
he received them from his Jötun ancestor Bölthorn, Bestli
father, received it as a family gift, as the right to knit the worlds in the
way desired by the gods.
Runes are codes and ciphers for databases of algorithms for the
formation of realities. Each god and each one generated by the gods
has its own level of clearance and its own degree of ability to influence
reality. This is further indicated to us by the “Speech of the High One”:
each world received from Odin different

true giants. Let me emphasize – bearers of ancient knowledge.
The world of Jotunheim and its inhabitants, the Jotuns, are bearers of ancient
memory, but this is not the same thing. Knowledge is something that has passed
the test of time, passed through centuries, or even
thousand years of experience. These are ready-made packages of
information, constants of past times and other worlds; these are ready cod
and keys, the use of which does not require changing them or
improvements. Unlike ancient memory, which is current information
without rules for its application, everything that
is, and everything that was. Once upon a time, worlds began to be
created from the constants of the world of Nifelheim and the triggering
impulses of Muspelheim, and the entire Yggdrasil Tree was built on the
constants of Nifel. It was this ancestral gift that God Odin received from
his ancestor, the giant Bölthorn 11– lu connectednine songs in number

But all this happened much later. At first, as legends say,
the supreme god of the northern pantheon was

certain events, he transferred control of the project and

a chance to bring the project to its logical conclusion and, perhaps,
with a winning result.
Using modern terminology, we can say
that god Odin is the engine of the entire Yggdrasil Tree system.
A system that Odin created and which is aimed at bringing out
the best. However, like any other systems with which other
pantheons of gods worked. It’s just that each system sets its
own mechanism for assessing the best, but in the northern
pantheon, led by the god Odin, this mechanism is

(Elder Edda.
Völva's Divination)

The nature of Loki is the fire and frost giants, the nature of Angrboda
is the world of Jotunheim. Loki is the bearer of the original fire, capable
of melting the ice of Nifelheim,
his great wife is the bearer of ancient memory, continuous
memory, continuous knowledge. It is precisely these qualities, as the
primary genetic material, that manifested themselves in
various forms in the children of this union - they all have access to
ancient memory, as well as to the worlds of primary forces; They
carriers of chaos magic. This is their nature, and they can and will interact
with the newly created system of order
based solely on it, one’s own nature, and not according to
expectations, perceptions or commands from above.
The gods determined points of origin for all children from this union.

mistress of the borders of Helheim and Nifelheim, the serpent Yormun-

(as a result of this he also began to be called the “serpent of Midgar-

has been said, it is clear that the Fenrir injection was not just intended f
the world of Asgard, but for its very core, for the core of the whole
systems, for the basic principle. Fenrir was born for
Tour.
The wolf was terrible and instilled irrational horror in the hearts of
the gods. He grew by leaps and bounds, and the only one
who dared to approach him was the god Tyr,

didn't understand him. Was the god Tyr afraid of him? Maybe. But,

But his strength was titanic, primordial. A kind heart in a terrible
body, wild love, incapable of being submissive. Fenrir loved the
gods, loved Tyr - the wild primordial
love. Allowing Tyr to feed himself, he chose him as a leader and
recognized his power. The titanic power of the unmanifested
recognized the power of the god Tyr - not out of fear, but
for love. However, all the other gods were frightened by this power,
since the gods did not have a system of containment and control.
With this power, the gods feared the unknown and uncontrollable.
The gods decided to create such a containment system, and Tyr
was forced to agree with them. And it was
his first mistake.
In the primary algorithms for achieving results, the northern gods
did not have those that would imply the possibility of reaching an
agreement, the ability to study the unknown
nature and find mechanisms to control it through
some study. The arsenal of possibilities included conquest,
destruction, restriction. They had no other ways
cope with your fear, in addition to destroying what you are afraid of.
This was applied to the growing threat - the gods decided to bind the
wolf. Tyr, as the supreme god, must

lies with the supreme ruler, with the head of the clan. And Tyr remained silen
The gods forge a chain named Dromi for the second time and again
offer the wolf a game. Tyr was silent again.
Realizing that it would not be possible to create a containment
program on their own, the gods decided to turn to those masters
who know how to make programs that cannot be resisted
and there can be no counterprograms. Miniatures from Svartalfheim
- these are the masters. They are the only ones who can do
the necessary artifacts, write algorithms that will close vulnerabilities
in the system, which will make the system again
holistic, indivisible, functionally independent.
In order to have this ability, the creator
the required unique addition must not only be able to
to do this, but also to have a special gift - to accurately determine
what exactly the system lacks in integrity, to determine which
program is failing; calculate vulnerability and determine its true
cause. Having received the task from the gods to create such a
containment program, to forge chains that Fenrir could never break,
the miniatures first of all determined the vulnerability of the

from outside. But you can restrain it from the inside - simply not give the
wolf the opportunity to show its power. Therefore the chains
should influence the inner essence of the wolf, and not
to its external manifestation. And the miniatures made such a chain. AND
This was the second mistake of the god Tyr.
This chain is not a chain at all. Soft and thin, like a silk ribbon, Gleipnir
was made of strange things: a woman’s beard, a bird’s saliva, mountain
roots, the sound of a cat’s footsteps, a fish’s breath and the sinews of a
bear. What is this? What are these components?
elements that you can’t find in nature during the day with fire? AND
why were they the only ones able to hold back the wolf?
All the components of Gleipnir are something that does not exist
in nature (at least, that’s what the ancients believed). In these kyo-nings
they encrypted something that cannot exist. Unreal. Illusions.
Unprecedented. But this is precisely what was determined
divided by the miniatures as the only vulnerability of the wolf - his
force was powerless against a non-existent enemy.
The miniatures made chains that don't exist. Fenrir cannot resist what
does not exist. This "patch" just short-circuited
his program on itself, and all his strength went to the formation of new
internal circuits. And the more he got angry
and broke, the stronger these chains became.
The wolf, as already noted, is not at all stupid. He's smart
with your titanic mind. When he saw this tender
tape, he realized that something was wrong here. All previous
the shackles rang like chains, looked like chains, which means
Machine Translated by Google
that they were precisely chains. The wolf has arguments against the
obvious. But Gleipnir turned out to be something non-obvious; it was
called completely differently than it looked. At the same time, the
gods continued to insist that the game continues, it is entertainment
and nothing more. But nevertheless, Fenrir suddenly became
serious and demanded bail. If this is a game, he said, and you
continue to claim that this is a game, let someone
you will put your hand in my mouth - why be afraid, because this

This is where all the fun ended at once.
The word spoken must be fulfilled. Filled with
who is responsible for the whole family, for testing
which the wolf Fenrir was created - the terror of the gods, the product
of darkness and chaos, the killer of the weak. God Tyr put his hand in
wolf's mouth And he lost it.
Illusions are always born from ignorance. The mind is inclined
conjecture what he does not know, but in this process he will try to
follow the path of least resistance, fill in
gaps with the simplest explanations among those that lie
on a surface. Fenrir, the god of evil, the killer of gods, was not
dangerous to him until the moment he was chained. So in
consciousness: the ancient power of evil is a great help for those who
not afraid. But once you limit this power by the shackles of your own
ignorance, fear and illusions generated by all this, the power of evil
becomes an enemy.
The Younger Edda, in which the venerable Snorri is very

described this event colorfully and artistically, saying that at the
moment of tying the wolf with Gleipnir’s fetters, the gods
laughed. After all, they achieved their goal - the wolf is chained and already

at feasts about your exploits and there, at feasts, to demonstrate your

Of them, Tyr was not funny. It was clear to him that

but is it necessary to protect the family if it is wrong? Tyr's choice

And with his choice he saved the aces, but disavowed the “honor and
valor” program inside the core of the system.
This is how the god Tyr ceased to be the supreme god of the northern

not much is said about the god Tyr. In Senior

The origin allows us to understand that Tyr is not just the god of
truth, but the true truth, the primordial truth. He
bearer of ancient memory and no less ancient constants of the world
Darkness. This is great opportunity and enormous power.
But there are also more ancient sources, even pre-chronicle,
oral traditions that describe the god Tyr as very ancient
chthonic force20. It was such a period of existence
when only the one chosen by the Earth itself could be considered a
true king. I emphasize, it’s not people – the Earth. Only
it can provide space and resource for doing,
only she can decide what should be and what should not be. This
era is considered to be the era of matriarchy, but such a view is
very one-sided perception of the worldview of gods and people
ancient era: The Earth is the force that determines and feeds, while
the gods and people are the doers and changers. For
the one whom the Earth goddess chooses as her husband, questions
impeccability should become the most important, because now
she evaluates, not people and not gods. A true king must
be impeccable, otherwise the Earth will choose another husband.
This is exactly what Loki spoke to Tyr at Aegir’s feast,
where he gave bills of lies and deceit to each god:

20 In this capacity we can recognize the god Tyr under the name Ziu or Tiu, and
his divine consort in the form of his twin sister, the goddess Zisa. This is very
the ancient format of divine twins, which is always and necessarily present in the
mythological description of all pantheons of gods of all peoples and countries.

Loki said: You,


Tyr, be silent! She
gave birth to me
your son's wife; I

dishonor - you

(Elder Edda.
Loki's squabble)

Despite all of the above, the god Tyr remains the most
honest and noble god we know of. Because he told his
whole story honestly. He teaches those who are destined to
have power, who are destined to become the “husband of
the goddess,” to set priorities correctly and preferably
correctly from the very
beginning. The Teyvaz rune is associated with the god
Tyr - the rune of one’s own truth. She stands first in the third
ette of the elder futhark, the ette of life results. The power
vector of this rune sets the basis for all other runes of the
family - only those results will be considered final if achieved
in truth. Therefore, the Teyvaz rune is the strongest, but
also therefore the most vulnerable for the entire third etta,
and therefore, to some extent, for the entire futhark:
everything achieved untruthfully will go sooner or later to Hel.

Tyr is the basis of the northern tradition, its core. And if it is true that
god Odin is the All-Father, then it is also true that god
Tyr is the inner core of Odin, the eternal inner
control - always follow your truth. He is the original
the plan, the basis of the northern project for the development of civilization.
The fact that this rod was damaged is not a reason for its absence or
replacement. Rather, on the contrary, all
the rest of the system, expressed in the mind of Odin and other gods,
followed such a development trajectory in order to heal this vulnerability,
this breakdown of the main core. Primordial
the “Truth of Tyr” project formed the “Odin’s Wrath” project precisely
because of such damage to the axial rod; "Odin's Wrath" is a reaction to
the mistake of the original
new plan.

God Tyr teaches us to never forget what everyone began their journey
with. He shows the value of his own past, whatever it may be. With his
story, he can tell about the reasons that can throw a person from the
highest conquered positions, throw him so low, from where a person even

didn’t start, but even lower. His story is reflected in the mirrors

Heimdall
God Heimdall also bears the title of aesir, and they call him the
White God. His participation in the formation of the northern system is
shown in a very truncated form and quite specifically. He
does not participate in general “travels”, his activities are individual and
independent. Just like himself.
Myths and legends describe his function quite unambiguously: he is
the guardian of the Tree and the organizer of the world of people, the
creator of a social system for the latter. His actions are aimed
not to stimulate the process, but to fix it. God Heim-
dall leads the implementation of principles, but not private rights
forks and non-local laws. The latter may vary from
era to era, from time to time, but the principle of the law must remain
unchanged - this is the basis of the White Ace Heimdall.

God Heimdall is described in myth as the primordial god


– he has always been. Its origins are titanic, like those of
all the aces of the first generation, and this is what the Elder Edda
writes about this:

In ancient years

earth, the icy sea
and the power of
boar's sacrificial blood23 .

21 Heimdall's mothers were apparently the waves, the daughters of the sea giant
Aegir and his wife Ran. But this is an assumption, it is not certain. (Note by author)
22 The names of Heimdall's mothers mean roughly "noisy", "grabbing",
“raging”, “destructive”, etc.
23 That is, he was protected from evil forces by means of earth, salt and pig’s blood
(still used in folk medicine).

And so he himself says in “Heimdall’s Spell”:

son of nine sisters.

In the Song of Thrym, Heimdall is mentioned as a seer similar


to the Vanir. This reference perhaps traces the origin of the god to
an ancient race of natural gods,

He lives in a place called Himinbjorg, right next to the


Bifrost Bridge. He is the guardian of the gods and dwells at
the edge of heaven to guard the bridge from the mountain
giants. (Younger Edda)

Bifröst25 is a rainbow bridge, a “trembling road”. This is not the road


people take. This is a road that appears “out of necessity.” The ancients
said that the Bifrost Bridge is a bridge connecting heaven and earth. This is
a connection that the god Heimdall can make in the system of worlds, in
addition to those that were originally written, and control this

connection.

The younger Edda Bifröst describes it this way:

Then Gangleri asked: “Which path leads from earth to


heaven?” The Tall One answered with a laugh: “Your question
is unreasonable! Don’t you know that the gods built a bridge
from earth to heaven, and it’s called the Bifröst Bridge? You
probably saw him. It may turn out that you call it a rainbow. It
comes in three colors, is very durable, and is made in a way
that couldn’t be more skillful or cunning. But no matter how
strong this bridge is, it will break when the sons of Muspell
ride across it on their horses, and their horses swim across great ri
they will rush on."

...Then Gangleri said: “Is Bifröst engulfed in flames?” The


tall one says: “That red color that you see in the rainbow is a

giants and giants of the mountains would take over the sky if the path
along the Bifröst was open to everyone. There are many beautiful
places in the sky, and all of them are under the protection of the gods.”

This communication channel, which appears only “on


demand,” is always controlled and opened by the god Heim-dall.
He opens it for those Einherjar who are destined to go to Valhalla;
he opens it for the gods when they need to go to any of the
worlds of the Tree. A mortal cannot cross the rainbow bridge;
myths say that even the god Thor cannot travel across the Bifrost

impeccability. The Celts believed that only he could be called
an impeccable ruler who has three generations of impeccable

Heimdall, let me remind you, does not deal with processes - this
God, who lays down first principles as constants; He
determines what in the system should be and remain unchanged
under any circumstances. In this myth, in addition to
a clear definition of the human race to certain classes, it is also
shown that gods as forces, gods as first principles work and will work
with the consciousness of not everyone and not everyone. As they
said in the old days: “The gods care
about the destinies of the princes, allowing the princes to take care of the destinies
everyone else."

Heimdall's activity in the described selection process


tion was not only consistent genetic

cultural transformations, but also in the introduction of information


components, the personification of which is the god Heimdall - the
principle of the immutability of the recorded result. A trawl cannot
become a karl without passing through natural selection. A Karl
cannot become a Jarl of his own free will:
Who you were born, so be you, says the Heimdall principle. Only
those born by a jarl and from a jarl are allowed to make changes, only

they are allowed to “talk to the gods” - so it was and so it will be.
The appearance should speak for itself, and everyone should agree with it

But Heimdall doesn't dictate what he should look like.
and what a representative of a particular class eats. His
the mission is to create these classes, to “cut up” social spaces, to
establish an unbreakable boundary between castes - to introduce into
the world of people the principle that society is class-based
and it will always be so. Fill in the rules for referring to that
or another social stratum is permissible only to rulers, but the principle
of assignment to the rulers’ caste is unchanged
Same.

Thus, influencing the world of Midgard, Heimdall


significantly narrowed the scope of efforts for the gods,
significantly simplifying the task for the northern system of constructing
reality: after all, managing one consciousness is a significant
but easier than thousands and millions. A small number of correct
algorithms is enough for consciousness to
the chosen one did the right things that will lead to the expected
results. Whereas for consciousnesses
sets of such algorithms need to be many times larger, given that the
mutual correlation of human men and women will generate thousands
of new ones every minute
such algorithms. How to get them under control? In that system - no
way. Therefore, choosing one from many and controlling
above the only one seemed for that period of development
Machine Translated by Google
tia system is a good solution. True, at the same time, thousands and
millions of Karls, Trales and women of all classes are not
were taken into account in the program algorithms in general; they were
denied access to Valhalla, so this entire huge human mass was sent
after death straight to the halls of Hel39, which could not but affect the
quality and productivity of the entire system.

In many archaic myths you can find the image of a blind and deaf
god. The image of the god Heimdall is an echo of this myth in the
northern system. It is useless to appeal to him for
establishing individual contact, if he himself did not choose you based
on the specific characteristics of your mind.
He hears everything, but does not hear anyone in particular. It stabilizes
the system, and all the elements in it are not for the sake of someone, but
for the sake of system balance. It opens a passage across the bridge
Bifrost only if it complies with the rules of the system, and
nothing else exists for him. This is what God spoke about
Loki, the eternal trickster and annoying fly for all the gods,
accusing Heimdall at a feast with the god Aegir:

You, Heimdall, be silent!


From the beginning of time
your lot is not easy:

Loki's altercation)

In this accusation, Loki denotes a specific property of the power of


the god Heimdall - biased view: only the interests of Asgard are
protected by the White Ace, ignoring
This is the interests of other worlds and most people.
Loki is a god who does not tolerate boundaries and rules, who
played the role of an adversary Satan for the system, indicating
to the gods for errors and flaws in the system, acted as
vulnerability scanner, a hacker of the highest level. Exactly
he pointed out the inadmissibility of establishing rigid boundaries not
only between worlds, but also within worlds; he's the one
gave birth to “three limits”, his children, as a response
to the lack of flexibility and conservatism of the gods. That is why in the
battle of Ragnarok they opposed the god Heimdall
not chthonic “monsters” and not ancient enemies of the gods, tur-sy, -
Loki spoke out, a force diametrically opposed to Heim-dall. The one
who was shackled not by the gods, but by the very architecture of the
system, created by the White Ace, spoke out; the one whose nature
resisted any constants and restrictions, did not recognize limits, but
itself gave birth to limits - limits for
gods.
This marking of the social world, created by the god Heimdall, exists
to this day and has not gone anywhere, no matter how

I would like someone to assume otherwise. Constants are always
constants, and those gods who came to replace the northern
family took them as a basis and work perfectly with them, using
what was done before them. The only force that could

mountains of Nifelheim, and this force will be discussed further.

Loki
The stereotype that has formed to date about Lo-ki as the god of evil is
for the most part created by the black-and-white worldview of dual
monotheism, which has ruled this reality for the last couple of thousand
years. In such a picture of the world, everything is clearly divided into good
and evil and there are no halftones. However, looking at the god Loki in this
manner is a guarantee that the viewer will not understand anything either
about the power of this god or about the system of northern magic itself. The
logic of the presence of a trickster god can only be revealed for

who knows how to see in color.


What do myths and legends say about the god Loki? Concise and succinct
Snorri, son of Sturla, spoke about him in the Younger Edda:

Another one is also considered to be among the aces,


whom many call the instigator of discord between the aesir, a
sower of lies and a disgrace to gods and people. His name is
Loki or Loft. He is the son of the giant Farbauti, and his
mother’s name is Lauveya or Nagy. His brothers are Büleist
and Helblindi. Loki is handsome and handsome, but has an
evil disposition and is very changeable. He surpassed all
people in that wisdom that is called deceit, and he is cunning
in all sorts of tricks. The aces more than once got into trouble
because of him, but often he saved them with his
resourcefulness. His wife’s name is Sigyn, and their son’s name is N
Machine Translated by Google
In the myths of the northern tradition, the god Loki is present
from the beginning. Moreover, it is present in almost every narrative,
manifesting itself directly or indirectly. This speaks of
that in the formation of the northern system of constructing reality
he played one of the main roles, and without his functionality there
would have been neither the tradition itself nor the memory of it.
In the created system of realities, the god Loki left
huge footprint. He not only participated in the creation of worlds,
but also in the creation of man - together with Odin and Hoenir
from trees “that had no destiny” he created the prototype of man,
a man and a woman, Asuka and Embla.
Who is Loki? Trickster god, the other side of Odin,
his friend and brother. The thankless role he played
by his deeds, the mission of evil incarnate, hated
and adored by all, Loki was the catalyst who
constantly provoked the gods, not allowing them to relax.
The provocateur and mockingbird, the god Loki, part of the fiery
nature of the sons of Muspel, with all the philistine ugliness of his
actions, was the force that drives the process, giving it new impetus
to development and acceleration. After all,
if any process goes into stagnation, it ceases to exist as a fact.

Being the reverse side of the god Odin, Loki through this
clearly shows its properties. If God One is everything, then
and the god Loki is also everything - together with Odin. Loki shows
what Odin is not at the moment and through
Machine Translated by Google
this, as it were, compensates him to the whole, provides Odin with the
integrity necessary for the supreme ruler. If
Now Odin is a furious and tough ruler, then Loki is
a kind peacemaker and trickster; if now Odin is wise
The all-father, all-knowing and making objective decisions, then Loki is
the very ulcer that prevents him from making these decisions. Only the
presence of the power of the god Loki
in an inextricable connection with Odin allows Odin to be
nym, and not some specific, limited and understandable
in its functionality. If it were so, then Odin would never
not to become the god of the universal world order, since for the
supreme god, limitation in at least something is a big
vulnerability. If we look at the god Loki from this side, then much will
become clear to us from the fact that
which was previously completely unclear.
Let's look again at the beginning of the myth, at the beginning of
the emergence of the northern tradition, at that stage when the
supreme ruler of the northern family was the god Tyr. At that time God
Odin was the god of knowledge and wisdom, possessing the
fundamental principles of Good and Evil. In this property and function,
Odin and Lo-ki were like divine twins, complementary
the forces that ensure synchronization are not only each other
friend, but also the entire system of the Nine Worlds in relation to
the newly created Asgard - the fundamental principle of Order. One and
The Loki are opposite to each other in sign, but absolutely
equal in meaning: if Odin is good, then Loki is evil;
Machine Translated by Google
if Odin is evil, then Loki is good. Here Loki balances Odin, but does
not complement him. However, when God is One
becomes the head of the pantheon, its functionality changes. He
no longer just good and evil, he is the realized order
and can no longer be one thing, either good or
evil - he must be both at the same time. It's not
must be balanced, since it itself becomes the principle of balance
between everything and everything. Synchronously with it changes an
the functionality of the god Loki - he also cannot remain in any
particular capacity, but his natural principle
he cannot change and becomes a complementary god,
the force that ensures the integrity of Odin. Not anymore
as a balancing force, and a compensating force, a reflective force
yaya.
Loki has the ability to go where there is nothing
No. It is as if he fills the emptiness, revealing in it
qualities that are not in Odin, but not in opposition, but
in addition. Once Odin became the god of Order, fate
Loki to be the god of Chaos. But Loki is not chaos. His partly fiery
nature does not allow him to dissolve being,
its nature requires change, while chaos extinguishes any change and
only in small doses can it become
the source of such changes. However, the born children of Lo-ki were
not born in vain, and the guardian of the primal-nova of Chaos became
his daughter, the goddess Hel, born specifically for this mission. All
subsequent activities of God
Machine Translated by Google
Loki, described in myths, shows him as a force, dosing
controlling and controlling chaos, and through this it manifests itself
synchronicity with the god Odin - they are two forces that provide
balance to the system, but in different ways.
All of Loki’s activities, from traveling to the birth of children, are
not accidental, but rather special.
Each of his actions is a reaction to what is happening as
in the world of Asgard, and in all the Nine Worlds. A function that
manifests his need to compensate to the whole god Odin, forces
him to do the same for
the rest of the gods and goddesses: after all, Odin is the All-Father, this is
the whole system, the whole program, and every god of the northern pantheon
part of it, which means that everyone, as a part of the whole, also
falls within the sphere of his, Loki’s, interests. This is where Loki’s
different attitude towards the gods comes from, sometimes
paradoxically opposite and illogical. But it is only illogical from the poin
from the point of view of linear human logic, and from the point of view of the
system and understanding of the power of Loki as a system function, everything
very logical: after all
Loki gave the gods what they lacked in integrity
– both personal and within the entire northern system.
The amazing artifacts that Loki obtained for the gods are not just
gifts. These are magical instruments that could compensate one or
another god for his
functional deficiency. And here it should be understood that
the nature of the god Loki does not imply that unique gifts
Machine Translated by Google
intended or created specifically for the recipient
or for his sake - everything that Loki does is done for the sake of Odin and
their project; everything is done based on the nature of the god Loki, and not
because of a personal attitude, whatever it may seem.
If Loki were a man and we judged him as
about a person, we could say that he made his gifts from
love and friendship, or “atonement for sins” - such logic is
understandable to a person and explains a lot to him. But we should
forget that gods are not people, and when speaking about gods, we are talking
about minds, systems, programs, non-human and non-biological
intelligence that sees differently, thinks differently,
has other motives for actions and multiple options
solving your problems. To judge their actions using human logic
is to guarantee yourself a complete misunderstanding of what is
happening and, as a result, incorrect conclusions.
Loki's gifts to the gods are a way to make them more powerful
or, on the contrary, limit their power. Not because Loki wants it
that way, but because Odin’s holistic system requires now and
right now such specific changes.
Legends describe to us several recovered artifacts, some of
which have already been discussed above, and, of course, will
be discussed further. But this is how Snor-ri himself tells us about
this in the Younger Edda:
Loki, son of Lauveya, did such a dirty trick: he cut off
Sif has all the hair. Having found out that Thor caught Loki
and would have broken his bones if he had not sworn
Machine Translated by Google
get the black elves to make hair of gold for Sif that would
grow like real hair. After this, Loki went to the dwarfs, who
are called the sons of Ivaldi, and they made such hair,
and the ship Skidbladnir, and also a spear for Odin, which
is called Gungnir. And then Loki argued with a Karl named
Brokk and bet his head that that Karl’s brother, Eitri, would
not make three such treasures to equal these. And when
they arrived at the forge, Eitri put a pig's skin into the
forge and ordered Brokk to blow, not stopping until he
took out of the forge what was put there. But as soon as
he left the forge, and his brother Brokk took up the furs, a
fly settled on Brokk’s hand and began to sting. But he
worked as before, until the blacksmith took the product
out of the forge, and it was a boar with golden bristles.

Then the blacksmith put gold in the forge and ordered


to blow it and not interrupt the work until he returned.
When he left, a fly flew in and, landing on Brokk’s neck,
bit him twice as painfully as before. But he kept blowing
away until the blacksmith took out a golden ring from the
forge, which is called Draupnir.
Then Eitri put iron in the forge and ordered it to blow,
saying that if the blowing was interrupted, nothing would
happen. And then a fly settled between Brokku’s eyes
and stung him on the eyelid. And when the blood flooded
his eyes, so that he could not see anything, he quickly
raised his hand to his eyes and drove the fly away, while
the furs fell off. Then the blacksmith came in and said that eve
Machine Translated by Google
forge. And he took the hammer from the forge, gave all the
treasures to his brother Brokk and ordered him to go with them
to Asgard to collect the mortgage.
And when the dwarf and Loki brought the treasures, the Aesir
sat on their judgment thrones, and everything was to be decided
by the verdict of Odin, Thor and Frey. Then Loki gave Odin the
spear Gungnir, Thor the hair for Sif, and Frey the ship Skidbladnir.
And he explained the essence of those treasures: the spear
strikes without knowing the obstacle; hair, as soon as you put it
on Sif’s head, it will immediately grow back, and the ship
Skidbladnir, no matter where its path lies, always has a fair wind
blowing, as soon as the sail is raised on it, and you can roll up
this ship like a simple scarf, and put it, if necessary, in your wallet.

Then Brokk took out his treasures. He gave the ring to Odin,
saying that every ninth night eight rings of the same weight would
drop from it. He gave the boar to Frey, saying that he could run
through the waters and air, night and day, faster than any horse,
and at night, and in the Land of Darkness itself it would be light
for him: that’s how his stubble glows. And then he gave Thor the
hammer, saying that he could hit it with whatever force he wanted
and for any purpose, and the hammer would never fail, and no
matter where he threw it, it would never miss, and no matter how
far the hammer flew , it will always return to Thor's hand. And if
Thor wants, the hammer will become so small that you can carry
it in your bosom. And it has only one drawback: the handle is a
bit short. The verdict of the gods said that the hammer was the
best of all
Machine Translated by Google
treasures and reliable protection from frost giants. And
they judged that the dwarf had won the bet. Then Loki
began to offer a ransom for his head, but the dwarf
replied that there was no point in hoping that he would
be able to ransom it. “Then catch me!” – Loki exclaimed.
But when Thor wanted to grab him, he was already far
away. Loki had shoes in which he could run across water
and air. Then the dwarf began to ask Thor to catch Loki.
He did just that. The dwarf wanted to cut off Loki's head,
but Loki said that the head belonged to him, but not the
neck. Then the dwarf took a strap and a knife and
wanted to poke holes in Loki’s lips and sew his mouth
shut. But the knife didn’t cut at all. Then he said that his
brother’s awl would be better suited here, and as soon
as he mentioned this awl, out of nowhere, an awl
appeared and pierced Loki’s lips. He sewed the lips
together, but Loki tore out the strap with the meat. The
strap with
which Loki's mouth was sewn up is called Vartari40 . It is clear
from the legend that Loki launched irreversible changes in the
system by cutting off the hair of the goddess Sif, authorized the
production of additional artifacts, but did not create them himself,
but did it in the best possible way - he “delegated” the process to
someone who, in his own way, nature is better able to sense the
incompleteness and imperfection of each element of the system,
and to correct these elements pointwise. Tswer-gi masters do not hav

"got glance" accompanies all the unique masters who know how to see and
work with small things, but not with big things. For some reason, they know
their job flawlessly: if something is imperfect, they will see it; if something is
not complete, they will point out
on this. Svarts are not characterized by delicacy or systemic
vision - they are masters, system repairers, if you like,
but not programmers or politicians. It is not for nothing that the position of
the world of Svartalfheim is correlated with the fundamental principle of Evil,
since the function of this fundamental principle is also to see imperfection,
to reflect imperfection. An incorrect understanding of the nature of evil, by
the way, will not give a correct understanding
methods of interaction with it: the morality of monotheism calls to fight evil,
while the broader view of polytheism teaches to interact and learn from
those who see

Loki and the Svarts distributed the created six artifacts among the gods
in the only correct way - they closed the vulnerabilities of each. We already
know two things:
this is the spear Gungnir, which Odin inherited, and the hammer Mjolnir,
which the Svarts assigned to Thor. Odin needs precision, and
Loki knows this, and Toru knows strength, and the Svarts determined this
without error. They did not intend the artifacts specifically for them when
they created them, but Loki did this and closed
a breach in the system by the hands of great masters. For this act
Loki had to receive a magical wound - his mouth was sewn up,

However, there was also something that Loki did himself, and not the

a god can do - he created other gods.

they were terrible. The wolf, the serpent and the beautiful-terrible goddess
Hel, which will be discussed further.
Honesty is something that is usually lacking in those who
has power. When the god Loki, together with the ancient goddess the
giantess Angrboda41, gave birth to three “terrible” children, they
manifested into the world three forces, three functions that were missing
in the system of the Nine Worlds. The more terrible was their appearance,
since the gods did not want to see the imperfection of the created
reality. The nature of Loki and the mother of his children, the ancient
goddess who preserves the memory of all possible forms, is simply

set these conditions, he began to ask them for permission to
take the horse Svadilfari to help him. And on Loki's advice
he was allowed to do this. On the first
winter day he began construction. At night he carried
stones on his horse, and the aces marveled at what kind of
blocks that horse was dragging: he did twice as much as the
mason. But the agreement was concluded in front of
witnesses and sealed with many oaths, for the giants thought

than Loki, the son of Lauveya, the cause of all sorts of
troubles. And they said that he would deserve a brutal death

went for stones with his horse Svadilfari, a mare ran out of
the forest neighing towards the horse. And as soon as the
horse noticed what kind of mare it was, he became furious and,
Having broken the bit, he set off after her, and she galloped
off into the forest. The mason rushed after him and wanted
to catch the horse, but the horses rushed all night, and the
work did not move. And the next day less was done than
usual. And the mason, seeing that he could not finish the
work on time, fell into a giant rage. The Aesir, recognizing
the stranger as a mountain giant, did not look at the oaths
and called Thor. Thor immediately appeared, and at the
same moment the hammer Mjollnir soared into the air. Thor
paid the master for work, but not with the sun and stars, to
live in the Land of Giants - and this was denied to the
master. The first blow shattered his skull, and he went into
the depths of Niflhel. And it was Loki
who ran with Svadilfari and after a while he brought a
foal. The foal was gray in color and had eight legs, and gods

Breaking an oath is a great defeat for the gods. Loki took

agreement. However, since the “effeminate function” that Loki
performed brought him down in the value system of the Aesir,
the trickster god reduced his function to the “god of evil”, just like
Tyr, who lost his power for the same reason, is an oath-crime.

“exit”. His escapade at the feast of the god Aegir is not clear
at first glance, if you do not clearly see the functions that the
god Loki performed for the entire system. Apparently this is why
moment the problems have become so insoluble and deep
that only by exposing them all can one get the last

a chance to start fixing them.
"Lokasenna", or "Loki's Quarrel", describes to us the story when the gods,
having gathered at a feast with the god Aegir, began to praise themselves,
talking about their achievements and exploits. The outpourings of praise
were interrupted by Lauveya's son, who came drunk to the feast, killed Aegir's
servant and with a full package of revelations about the gods and goddesses.
In order to correctly understand “The Quarrel,” let’s try to look at it from a
slightly different angle. Who is the god Aegir, at whose feast the gods of
Asgard gathered? Aegir is the god of the sea, the most ancient force, one of
the first-born titans. Winter feasts among Aegir and his wife, the goddess Ran,
are a ritual action designed to unite all worlds and systems in friendship and
reconciliation; a kind of Elysium, where all conflicts ceased. From a magical
point of view, Aegir’s feast is a ritual of leveling the system, its revision and an
agreement for the
future: how the system of the Nine Worlds will continue to exist. God
Aegir is the observer of the worlds and, as the god of the seas, distributes the
power of creation among all. It is clear that each world tried to bring to Aegir’s
feast all its best results, which it wanted to be proud of. So the gods of Asgard,
coming to Aegir’s feast, boasted of their achievements and exploits:

Loki asked:
“Eldir, answer,

Are the gods talking?

Eldir said: “The


gods talk about their

in battles; but none
of them call you friend -

neither aces, nor alvas."

In response to this, Loki, coming to the feast, exposed all the sins and
problems of each of the aces and asinyas present; I didn’t forget anyone,
and everyone suffered from Loki’s evil tongue. It’s not so much the trouble
that the mockingbird god reviled his fellow project members, but the trouble is
that he did it in a place where
new behavior has ritual significance and no one can
attribute it to drunken delirium or slander of the offended. Moreover, Odin
himself confirmed Loki’s right to speak with the gods on equal terms:

Loki said: “Odin,

One said: “Vidar,

wickedly.”

Vidar is the son of Odin and his heir43, after the death of
Balder. By raising him from the bench, and no other god, Odin
showed how high Loki’s position is in the system, how highly
Odin himself regards him - still, in spite of everything, as his
brother-in-law, as an equal to yourself. However, this did not
become a step towards reconciliation between the gods and
Loki. Having expressed everything to everyone, Loki cursed the
house of Aegir, and this basically became the formal reason for R

Loki’s words ring with resentment: resentment against the gods,


against his brother, against the entire northern family; resentment for
their ingratitude, for arrogance, for self-deception, which ultimately
resulted in the curse of Aegir, since this is also a resentment -
resentment that, despite all his efforts, the gods depend on
the opinions of the god of elemental forces depend on the opinion of the beholder
and they stoop to lies and deception, even stoop to praising the servant
of Aegir - and all in order to look better in the eyes of the evaluator
than they really are. In his
accusations we hear bitterness - everything was in vain, you did nothing
understood, my brothers, my friends, my enemies.
The gods did not forgive Loki for his ritual defeat. As Snorri writes,

...after this Loki, in the form of a salmon, hid in


waterfall of the fjord Franangr. There the aces caught him. He
was bound with the intestines of his son Narvi, and his son
Narvi turned into a wolf. Skadi took the poisonous snake
and hung it over Loki's face. Venom dripped from the snake.
Sigyn, Loki's wife, sat there and offered the cup
under the dripping poison. And when the cup was filled, she
carried it out, and at this time the poison from the snake dripped onto Loki. Then
he writhed so hard that the whole earth shook. Now
this is called an earthquake.

Did the gods understand that, having shackled the god Loki, immobilizing
the other half of the god Odin, they thereby do the same
and with Odin? Did they understand that by their actions they
limit the freedom of their supreme god? None of
gods of the northern pantheon would not have become so if not for the lessons
Loki, which he managed to teach them. To each of the aces, with
with whom Loki had connections, he gave a piece of his fiery nature,
a piece of that very primary fire of Muspel, which makes everything
around him change and change. Sometimes
this fire burns very painfully, but without it there would be no life
for nobody. Bound Loki is the limitation and constraint of the entire
Scandinavian system; Loki freed -
it is the revival of tradition through Ragnarok.
Nowhere in the myths is it said that Loki has a throne or his own
palace. This means that his victory algorithms are not complete and
independent programs - they are always part of other programs of
the gods with whom he performed joint actions or journeys. His
power complicated the programs of Odin and the Aesir, making
them more competitive and tenacious: when the program goes
through a series of injections and tests, it becomes much more
difficult to kill it. Nothing Red Ace

There will be many more stories about the god Loki. He is the
strength and speed of reaction to change; it is the ability to compensate
for reality instantly, without allowing significant distortions.
As long as Loki was not bound, the system could be in equilibrium and
developed due to constant and chaotic injections of the trickster god.
But the moment the god Loki lost the ability to perform his function, the
system became static, which means that Ragnarok became inevitable.
Not for him
nothing that is more valuable than another; no for him
preferences regarding where and to whom the injection should be given,
and who can be saved. This is the opposite of his
enemy Heimdall, for whom there are preferences, and
the constants of the system are sacred and unshakable. Loki doesn't recognize
constants in general. Not their mere presence in the system, but the fact that they
never changeable. Heimdall is his opponent

and the implementation of everything planned requires completely different

The mythology of various systems tells us that


how the gods of law resolved this issue with the gods of nature. Some

programs of the Aesir and Vanir in detail: there were wars, there was

According to the rules of the era in which the description of this
myth by man for man was created, the process of truce
between tribes was associated with the ritual act of exchanging
hostages. As a rule, these were not the last people
in the tribe and thus the reconciling parties declared and confirmed
the honesty of their intentions: if
one of the parties violated the contract, then the offended party
had the right to kill the hostage. The Aesir and Vanir also exchanged
hostages. The gods Mimir and
Hoenir, and from the Vanir to the Aesir - the god Njord and his twin children

Njord and his children are the personification of the forces of nature. Exactly
their presence gave the gods a constant supply of natural
resource, access to the elements of manifested nature and... a certain control
over it. According to the agreement with the Aesir, the captive Vanirs were not
prisoners, but, on the contrary, entered the large family of the Aesir and began
to call themselves Aesir. They had the right and opportunity to return to their
native Vanaheim, but under certain conditions: only one at a time, then

as the other two had to remain in Asgard. In addition to Njord and the twins, a
fairly large retinue went with them to Asgard, which also became part of the
world of the Aesir
- through marriage with the gods, through a contract, or simply out of kindness
they like.

more than they lost by sending their hostages. To see this, let us examine the

Njord
Njord is the god of water resources. He owns water, but not as
an element, but as a space of life. He has the power to feed
everyone and everything. He is the lord of the natural resource,
and everything that has to do with living things has to do with Njord.

The Elder Edda in the “Speeches of Vafthrudnir” about the god Njörðr
says this:

One said: “Give

Van gods there is simply no such option as “envy”.
The strong are not envious, the weak are envious; He is envious,
lawless and powerless, which means he is flawed and, of course,

before and when necessary. There is no shortage, but there are no excesses either.
The strength of Van nature suggests that there is and should be only
one law in the world - the law of life and only what is necessary for life
is correct. And only so.
In the legends about the gods of the north, the god Njord is not
often mentioned; his presence as the main character is noted only in
stories about the marriage of the goddess Skadi, where the god Njord
and became her husband. However, this legend has more
more related to Skadi than to Njord, so we will look at it in due course.

Of course, the presence of the god Njord at the epoch-making


feast at Aegir is noted. And the god Loki did not bypass him with
reproach and accusation, making it clear that he also blames Njord for th
the plan of the aces to build a “northern model” reality. Where did Loki
see the imperfection of the Nyor-da principle? We read in the saga:

Loki said:
“You, Njord, be silent!

that I gave birth to a son,

Loki said:
“Njord, stop it! Don't
you dare brag! I won’t
hide it: you gave birth
to a son and
your own sister - what
could be worse!”

(Elder Edda.
Locke's squabble)

So, what did the god Loki see as harm from the power of the
god Njord? The harm is solely in his nature, following the traditions
of his tribe. Loki believes (and this can be seen in almost all the
sagas of the northern line) that the Aesir should not have
negotiated with the Vanir and given them so much freedom. Loki
sees the harm not in the Vanir, but in the fact that the Aesir were
never able to take their power under their full control, as, for examp
they did this to the elves.

Loki didn't like the Vanir. Despite the fact that the Vanir are
the personification of freedom, this is not the freedom that Loki
personifies. Vanir freedom is still built on constants,
Machine Translated by Google
only these constants are not social, like those of the god
Heimdall, but natural. Nature, Vanaheim, lives on its own laws,
but they are nonetheless unchanged. However, no one can
cope with these laws, and this is an eternal problem for the
gods and the ongoing anger of Loki. But this is anger from
powerlessness, and it can be said that in relation to the Vanir,
Loki is more angry with himself than with them. In his altercation
with Njord, he was more likely to simply vent his anger and rage
than to
actually make accusations. Practice 10. God Njord (p. 395)

in the ancient era of matriarchy. In this tradition, spouses

earth, all later religious rites are an echo
and a cast of an ancient ritual.
The divine and ritual wife of the god Njord, according to the
systemic rule, was his twin sister, the goddess Nerthus, the
goddess of the Earth. The power of aquatic life united
with the power of Earthly life, and from this union two were born
personified powers: the god of fertility Frey and the goddess of
fertile power Freya. Parental powers of the gods

new property: what does it take for the world to be fertile? What
does it take for the world to be abundant? The twin gods Frey
and Freya are related properties: fertility and craving for fertility.

It must be said that Frey and Freya are not the proper names
of these gods, but rather titles. Translated, they mean “lord” and
“madam.” The personal names of these two forces are Yngvi
and Vanadis.

Freyr-Yngwie
God Frey personifies the power of fertility, strength,
capable of extracting benefit from everything, extracting a resource
from everything. His power is built on the principles of life and death,
where death is permissible only when there is a continuation of life.

holistic understanding of the life process, then his

without excessive nurturing and protecting them, allowing the best

As you already know, the gods Njord, Frey and Freya were accepted
into the world of Asgard, accepted into the family with all respect and
respect. But what is family for the Vanir and what is family for
aces? For the Vanir, a family is an integral organism created
according to the natural laws of nature; a system where each element is
necessary and, to some extent, system-forming
yawning.
In the Van world there is no hierarchy, no subordination by law
– this is not the case in the Van family either. But in the world of aces everything is built on
hierarchy, including the concept of “family”. This is the difference in
understanding and definition of “friend or foe” has found a very bright
reflected precisely in the history of Frey.
His appearance in the legendary narrative as a hero began after the
death of the god Balder. Its main legend is “Skirnir's Ride”. It all started
with the fact that God
Frey, for some unknown reason, sat on the throne, which only the god
Odin had the right to occupy. From this throne one could see all the
worlds, and nothing was hidden
from the sight of the All-Father. We read in “Skirnir’s Journey” by the Elder
Eddie:

According to rumors, the sword ended up in the halls of the giant
Surt, and, according to legend, only this weapon could help cope
with the power of the fire giants of Muspelheim when the time of
the battle of Ragnarok came. Here's how Snorri writes about it in
the Younger Edda: ...That's why Frey was unarmed
when he grappled with Beli48 and killed him with a
deer's horn. Then Gangleri said: “It’s strange to me,
really, that such a noble warrior as Frey decided to
give up the sword without having a second one of the
same kind. Because of this, he suffered considerable
damage while fighting with the one called Beli. It’s true
that he regretted the sword then.” Then the Tall One
replies: “That fight with Beli was not a big deal; Frey
could have killed him with his fist. But the hour will
come, the sons of Muspell will go to war, and then it will seem
like a disaster to Frey that he does not have a sword.” During the
Battle of Ragnarok, the giant Surtr and his army were the last to
enter the battle. Frey, as the force of life, as the passion for life,
as the process of reproduction and self-restoration of nature, was
the only force that could act as an opponent to the all-consuming
primordial fire. But Frey had nothing to oppose his opponent excep

The nature of the god of fertility did not allow us to see the

such concepts, since they do not exist in nature. Although the
gods repeatedly told the son of Njord that his servant was not

What about the love story of the god Frey? Luckily, she
had a happy continuation: Gerd fell in love with the god of fertility.
However, she did not become asinya. Their house is described as
very small space just in those places where
they met for the first time in Barry's Grove, near Vanaheim. Gerd
has a small apothecary garden there, where she
grows medicinal herbs. The “Small Courtyard,” which is the home
of young gods in love, tells us about
in a lot of ways. Firstly, their palaces are not in Asgard, which
means that this marriage, as Freyr initially assumed, is not
was "approved". Secondly, such a combination of the ancient
memory of Gerd and the power of fertility of Frey was limited only
a small volume of reality, closed from influence on
him, but the house of Gerd and Frey itself is rather an exception to
general rules for the existence of worlds: the ancient memory of
the Great Kansha and the now unarmed Van nature are not a
combination that the aesir gods can allow to exist
everywhere. A closed and remote reality, where
Gerd grows herbs - this is a special form of witchcraft existence,
where ancient and eternal memory can safely
manifest itself in a special form of its magic. Van nature
the god Frey can perform the function of the god of Light, but
always in a very limited space. His power allows him to see
something phenomenal in the worlds, something that
passed “natural selection” and proved the right to life.
Machine Translated by Google
But the throne of Odin, the throne of the supreme god, is destined
not for this: God, who knows good and evil, will support
balance in the system of world order between everything that exists,
and not just the phenomenal. Frey sees his own, and Odin
sees more. Therefore the throne of Hlidskjalf is destined
for Odin and only for him. Remember this - Freyr's channel and its
power are not for power. She is for something else.
Myths say that the god Frey has many
houses in the worlds of Vanaheim and Alfheim, but he does not have his own
palaces in the world of Asgard. This means that his presence in
in the world of nature will be constant, but in the world of law its “base”
there is no data, just as there is no constancy of his presence among
gods-aces.
The loss of the sword is, of course, a disaster, but the sword is not
the only artifact that gave the god Frey additional strength. There are
two more things that were presented to him
miniature masters at the famous “dispute of masters”, which
provoked by the god Loki. Frey was given the boar Gullinbursti (“golden

of an uncontrollable craving for manifestation, and in any form.

and people leave behind is the power of the goddess
Frei.

Having received the goddess Freya into their palaces, the Aesir
acquired the greatest jewel, which allowed them to introduce
own algorithms for constructing reality more freely. Freya
strengthened Asgard with the power of naturalness, which never
exists in an artificial system. Naturalness is the basis of voluntary
acceptance, the desire for change without fear, and development
with joy. Freya helped the organizing gods start the process of
continuity: Van
nature, subject to natural cycles, depends only
from these cycles, which, in turn, are closed only
on themselves.
It is difficult to apply only one to the goddess Freya
expressive form to describe its nature. She manifests herself in
many ways, but all of her incarnations do not appear
beyond natural natural effects. Freya, daughter
Vanov is an indomitable thirst for life, manifested in any form.

The accusations that the god Loki made against the goddess
Freya, as in the case of Njord and Frey, concerned mainly with the
nature of the goddess. Essentially, Loki blames the Vanir for
that they are Vans. His position is clear: Van’s influence is harmful
to the system of order. And it’s hard to argue with this; feelings will
always fight with reason, and vice versa:

“You, Freya, be silent!

you are love to everyone

The second accusation against Freya relates to the


peculiarities of Van magic, which is unacceptable and even
hateful to the emerging patriarchal civilization:

fertility, which are expressed in the dissolution of one’s
consciousness in natural processes, the stimulation of natural
flows of power. Whereas galdr is based on submission,

designed to capture flows of power, to redirect them along
the vector desired by the caster; seid - for dissolving in these
flows, a natural transition between them, without changing
either their direction or their original meaning. Galdr is a
command to the world to change, and seid is an agreement

The vector of knowledge of the channel of the Vanir gods is now


being refined and specified for us with every step. The powerful and
all-encompassing power of the god Njord was divided in his children,
the gods Frey-re-Yngvi and Frey-Vanadis. In this division, power
acquired specific qualities, became more concentrated, but also more
applied. Two goddesses from the Vanir clan, with
whom we will meet further continue this trend

the area of application of the personified power of nature. But that’s
not the only reason we will consider them

both their strength and their weakness.

Sif and Idunn


The legends say little about the goddesses Sif and Idunn.
The chronicle legend itself, especially the Younger Edda, obviously set
itself the task of glorifying the Aesir, indicating the primacy of the will of
the law over natural nature and various “dark forces.” For this reason,
probably
they ignored these two goddesses, talking about them
scantly little. However, unlike many peoples who
with the same task, they tried to completely expel from people’s memory
or, at a minimum, dirtyly discredit the gods of nature,
the northern people did not allow this to happen. For us, their descendants,
this is valuable, because if there was no information about these two
goddesses at all, it would now be very difficult to understand the
essence of the Vanir, to understand the characteristics of the natural
gods and, through this understanding, to revive them within oneself in the
their strength, power and capabilities.
The goddesses Sif and Idunn do not participate in the adventures
of the aesir gods; they do not transfer their characters from legend to
legend, but each of them has exactly
according to one essential description.

Sif
The goddess Sif is said to have been the wife of the god Thor.
They have a daughter, Trud, but she also has an illegitimate child -
the god Ull. The myth places emphasis on Sif's beautiful golden hair
and says that "Sif's hair" is the kyo-ning of gold. Nowhere in the
myths is it specifically stated that
the golden-haired goddess was from the Vanir, but the fact that she
was the goddess of fertility allows one to suspect this. Also
History leads us to the idea of the Van nature of the goddess Sif
about the giant Hrungnir from the Younger Edda, when the giant so
unsuccessfully visited the halls of Asgard, which is why he died,
struck by Thor’s hammer:
Then they brought the cups from which Thor used to drink,
and Hrungnir drained them with one breath. Zakhmelev, he
did not skimp on loud speeches, boasting to raise all
Valhalla and take it to Jotunheim, drown Asgard and
kill all the gods except Freya and Sif, and take them
to yourself.

The fact that the old tour equates these two to each other
goddesses, tells us about their affinity; already knowing about the
great need of the Jotuns for Vanessa goddesses, the saga shows tha
This affinity is precisely in the Van nature of both. Goddess Sif
revered as the goddess of the hearth, fertile land and rich home; it
manifests itself in ancient cults and how

guardian goddess of the clan. Her name (Sif) is very closely connected
with the word sib, meaning “relatives”, “related group”. This once again
suggests that she is to a large extent the deity of the clan, the guardian
of the home and family, and to a greater extent
degree shows itself as disa, and this is Van strength.
So, the name of the goddess Sif can be translated as “kinship.”
But, paradoxically, nowhere in the sagas is there any mention of
the parents of the goddess, nor about her clan-tribe; the emphasis is only
on the fact that she was the wife of the thunder god Tora. Although both
the name of the goddess and her functional power of fertility indicate that
she should patronize
long family ties and carry the memory of this. But
No.

In limiting the power of both goddesses, the main role was played by
the god Loki already known to us. Attempts to limit the will and
the freedom of the senior Vanirs Njord, Frey or Freya were not successful,
but he more than compensated for his failure through his influence on
the goddesses Sif and Idunn. Van nature is something that needs to be
controlled, according to the gods
law. By itself, this force is difficult to control, and
its principle is simple: either by good will, or not at all. What

no less simple than the Vanir principle: either everything or nothing. Not

under such control only some properties of the Vanir, then through
this will make it easier to control their other properties. After all

no one else, knows how to not only turn weaknesses into strength, but also
vice versa.

Hair loss is a demonstration of the loss of the rights of a free

wives was cut off. Loki punished Sif for adultery, and

Idunn
The other extreme of the Van channel is symbolized by the
goddess Idunn - absolute altruism. Her name means “renewal” or
“green again.” The goddess Idunn is described in the sagas as a very
young girl, almost a girl. The story of its origin can only be gleaned
from a fleeting mention in the song of the Elder Edda, “Odin’s Raven’s
Witch” (or “Opening Song”).

She is married to Odin's son, the god Braga. This is how he writes

this extreme, in contrast to the opposite property of the ego-ism of the

this, in which the goddess Idunn
acts as the main character. This myth is called “The Abduction of
Idunn”61 .
The story tells that once Loki was caught by a giant

youth, which they were provided with by the power of the goddess Idunn?
How natural it is for a careless person to not pay attention
for what you always have! But now he also made Odin convinced that the well-
being of the gods of Asgard strongly depends not on a specific god or goddess
from the Vanir clan, but on
the whole world of Vanaheim. Convinced by example.
But let's return to the goddess Idunn. Her strength and the fact that she is
the only one who has access to the “drug of the Aesir,” to the apples of youth,
suggests that this goddess is not at all what she seems. The ancient goddess
of beauty, youth and, probably, immortality, who at the same time retained the
appearance of almost a child, indicates that she will not apply her strength to
her memory, the experience of antiquity or the right of seniority. Just the
opposite, if this power of endless rebirth is applied

to the memory of the past, the goddess of immortality becomes mortal. Her
strength is only for life, only for the future - and this
another indicator of the Van nature of disa Idunn - for everyone
Vans have a short memory, by nature and by their functionality
there is no need for a long one, and the story of the goddess Idunn even clarifies
– for the Vanir, a long memory is deadly. About this and
Machine Translated by Google
cries the legend of Idunn's abduction: as soon as she found herself in
the world of ancient memory, she began to die. Because
The infinitely powerful and kind goddess of youth cannot, by definition,
not bestow the power of rebirth, but,
having given her strength to what is poison for her tribe, she
dies. Reviving the past is beyond her nature, Van
blood animates only the future. That's why her husband and
companion - the god Braga. The singer who gives hope, who awakens
the thirst for life, the will to live, opens
in a word, doors to the future.
Natural magic Idunn, its manifestation does not need
long memory. She needs a connection with her primal power, and
not the memory of her, not the knowledge of her. Therefore, Idunn herself did not
was able to tell the gods what exactly could save her - she didn’t
knew this. But she felt like she was dying. So does anyone
a natural witch may not know the “name” of her
source of power, the name of his progenitor god, but, having lost
the connection with the original source dries up and dies if the wise
Odin does not find that magical skin that will awaken this power,
without even naming it. A person needs to know everything
but the Van witch needs to feel everything. Often smell is
the best knowledge, and it does not require words.
The property of the other side of Van's strength - altruism, infinite
kindness - has a vulnerability, and God Loki showed this vulnerability
very clearly: Van's strength cannot but give, cannot but rejuvenate the
processes taking place. But
Machine Translated by Google
if you force her to revive the past, then nothing will happen -
everyone will die: first nature, then the gods. If wrong
use the power of the goddess Idunn, if this “systemic conflict” is
allowed, then the gods will never be able to exist without constantly
going to the Vanir to bow.
Idunn, like the cow Audumla, feeds with his magic only developing,
growing worlds - only in this case
she will be with the gods, she will be in Asgard. This knowledge “from
Loki” was supposed to redirect the vector of the Asgard’s aspirations:

successes, to past victories: he has no right to the future,
who lives only in the past. How successful was this
escapade in terms of training the gods, we will find out further - stories
the gods Frigg and Baldra will tell us about this.
In the meantime, let’s summarize the knowledge of the Van channel of power.
So, two extremes and limits of natural power, which
personified by the goddesses Sif and Idunn, can be characterized by
two mental qualities - selfishness and altruism. These properties are
present simultaneously in the gods
Frey and Freya, as more isolated forces than, for example, their
father, the god Njord: in the latter these properties are not expressed
as clearly as in his children. At the same time, we can see
Machine Translated by Google
It turns out that the god Freyr, despite simultaneously manifesting
the qualities of egoism and altruism, still had a certain bias in
the side of egoism - and this led to a limitation of its functionality
across the territory. In the goddess Freya, this imbalance between
two extremes was also initially present, but
already towards altruism. However, she fixed it through
the right quest, through the right mystery of receiving from
swarts of his necklace (belt) of the power of Brisingamen.
In the manifestation of the forces that personify the goddesses
Sif and Idunn, the qualities of altruism or egoism, when the Van
nature is excited, acquire the characteristics of totality; There are
practically no restraining instruments that would bring these
properties to some acceptable norm, that would smooth out the
deliberate convexity
these qualities. Which, however, is quite expected, since we are
talking about the Vanir - children of nature do not like limits, but precis
this becomes their limit.
The goddesses Sif and Idunn are even more personified
the forces of Van nature, even more refined and refined.
Each of them personifies the Van property of existence, but it is no
longer so comprehensive,
strong and independent in its manifestation, like the properties of
Frey and Freya. An attempt to find an explanation for the fact that
both Frey and Freya, having pronounced qualities
egoism and altruism, showed them freely, but never
stuck on some single selected state, then

how the goddesses Sif and Idunn were in precisely such a state stuck
to their properties, insists that they were
the legends about all these gods have been correctly analyzed and
a difference was revealed in their described destinies. And the difference
this lies on the surface: neither Frey nor Freya combined
themselves by marriage with the legal gods, with the Ases, while
both Seth and Idunn were their wives. Ases, as we remember, are
informational principles, and the Vanir are natural forces. Information
can change energy, transform
it, to make the force specific and suitable for something specific. In
legend this is represented in the form of marriage, where
female Van nature connects with information
masculine and becomes fixedly defined: a woman always becomes
what they want her to be.
The goddess Freya in the entire northern mythodrama is not only
was able to preserve her freedom and magic, but also significantly
multiply. God Freyr managed to save, but not live very well. The
goddesses Idunn and Sif were unable to either preserve or multiply.
The last fact shows the winning algorithm of the aces for retaining and
conquering nature - history
the goddesses Sif and Idunn describe it to us. For fertility
Sif is to break the connection with the source of power, to replace it
to the one that will be controlled, determine the target,
which the properties of nature, torn from the basis, will serve. For eternal

What helped Freya independently keep her natural extremes
under personal control and not give up the threads

Is there a related force in the form of a twin brother? Maybe,
the fact that Freya found the strength to realize her true position in
Asgard and free herself from illusions - she understood
that the position of the Vanir in the world of the gods is a hostage, and according to
essentially slavery? This is a very important realization: free is not

the one who lost it became dependent, full. All this
there are lessons that carriers of Van blood and Van spirit need to
learn in the world of people, in the world of Midgard, in the world
manifested reality.
The story of Sif and Idunn is the story of the defeat of the Vanir
before the Aesir, the tragedy of the defeat of nature before the law.
Although, if we judge superficially, as is customary to the mind of
the social average person (that is, only by external effects), then
it, history, does not look like a defeat at all. And indeed, the
Vanessa goddesses were taken to Asgard; they do not appear in
as official hostages, but came of their own free will; both goddesses
are married to respected and revered aesir gods - what more could
you want? But, nevertheless, these are precisely the stories about
the defeat of the Vanir, since the Aesir, with the help of god

Frigg
The rightful mistress of Asgard and the legal wife of God
Odin. The position of the goddess Frigga in the entire northern system
myth is very strong: the hierarchy of the legal system places it on
one level with the supreme god.
The First Principle Tradition, the mistress of which is the goddess
Frigga, maintains order and transforms the first principles into specific
rules, roles and functions. This first principle, like any other in the
magical system of 12 first principles, is a storehouse of knowledge.
However, it has certain limitations, which does not allow the
fundamental principle of Order to completely
rely on tradition or rely only on it. The relationship between Odin and
Frigga is precisely the description
such systemic interaction between two powerful information structures.

Frigga is equal in strength and origin to Odin. But then


at the same time, according to the laws of Asgard and its rules, the goddess
Frigg occupies a certain hierarchical position, always seeming to be
one step behind the figure of the All-Father. Not because it is smaller
or the functionality of its capabilities is not
so strong, but because this is the original agreement,
These are the rules for the development of the system, which is their
joint project. This fact is reflected in real life
northern peoples who built their world according to the program

Apart from this myth: a woman has never (until the advent of
Christianity) been an oppressed creature. The position of women
in northern society was quite high; they had the right to own
property, the right of inheritance
and their disposal; women had the right to divorce, and their
the word in the formation of the marriage contract was significant
and the last one. The main burden of responsibility and the right
to make decisions, of course, lay with the man, but the word,
what a woman said could not be ignored, and often, on the
contrary, was an exceptional trigger
mechanism of events. Moreover, if such a crime
like a murder, could be “ransomed” by a certain virus
in favor of the family of the deceased, which did not allow or stop
the process of blood feud, then the murder of a woman was not
redeemed with any money, and the killer was outlawed
immediately - this meant that he would lose his property
and that from now on everyone has the right to kill him without consequences
for myself. The woman did not act as a legislator
at a general meeting, provided that she had a man who could do
it for her, but she had the right to defend
their interests, and this requirement could not be ignored.
However, the position of the goddess Frigg in the hierarchy of
the northern system is determined not only by the formed tradition.
Quite the contrary, tradition is a consequence of rules and
principles, it stems from them, and not vice versa, when rules and
principles are derived from the manifested realities of a given
Machine Translated by Google
moment. The principles that determine the position of the female
spouse as first and equal are very ancient and very archaic. They
come from the ancient system of matriarchy,
when such a concept as tradition was just being formed, when its
purpose was determined - to save, preserve and pass on. Is it
any wonder that women automatically became the guardians of
tradition?
and female deities are the goddesses-organizers and patron
goddesses of the family and tribal way of life.

The origin of the goddess Frigga is very interesting for


understanding the origin of not only this goddess, but also others
gods-aces. Frigga is called “Fjörgyn’s daughter” in the sagas. Fjör-
gyn, as the Younger Edda deciphers for us, is Earth, otherwise it
is called Yord. Mother of cheese, Earth, giving birth
mother, mother of the gods. However, God is also called the son of Fjörgyn
Torah, which shows their relationship with Frigg - they are brother
and sister67 . Frigg is the same ancient power of giants as others
gods born of the Earth. She's a titanide if used
terminology of Greek myth; ethin – if used
northern analogy.
The old tradition of the era of matriarchy, which was mentioned at the
very beginning of the story about the goddess Frigg, included in the family

67 It can be assumed that in Scandinavian mythology there were two creatures with
the name Fjörgyn - one male, the other female, but with one
or a similar name (Fjorgyn – feminine and Fjorgynn – masculine). (Note by G.
Bedenko)
Machine Translated by Google
There's one interesting rule. If there's something wrong with a woman's husband
it happened that he died or went missing, then the woman
should (or had the right) to marry someone else
blood relative (brother or, in extreme cases, father).
Children born in such a union were considered children of the clan
with retention of all rights and inheritance of the deceased (missing).
Knowing nothing about the science of genetics, ancient people
understood that transitioning to another marriage in this way would be
continue the same blood line, not allowing any other mixing
nia.

In the history of the goddess Frigg there was just such a case. When
God Odin did not return from his next journey, but all the dates
expectations passed, his wife, the goddess Frigga, united
with his blood brothers Vili and Ve (yes, those same gods who co-
created reality from the body of the first ancestor Ymir). The presence
of two husbands at once instead of one missing one is also not
should confuse you if you remember that we are talking
about the ancient era of matriarchy, where the right to choose a husband, and
their quantities were also determined by the woman herself. But exactly
this adherence to the old matriarchal tradition was blamed on the
goddess Frigg by her husband's brother, the god
Loki, which is reflected in the already known to you “Got over-
will".

Loki said:
“You, Frigga, be silent!
Machine Translated by Google
You are Fjörgyn's daughter
and dissolute in disposition:
at least your husband is Vidrir,
you Vili and Be
hugged both of them."

Loki blamed Frigg not so much for the fact that she cheated on
Odin, but for the fact that she, being the keeper of the tradition of
the new system of worlds that the Aesir created,
nevertheless, she acted according to the rules of the old tribal
tradition, built on the principles of matriarchy. Whereas
the world of Asgard, the world of the new order, paved the way
and introduced the principles of the patriarchal structure of reality. Bu
Frigga could not do otherwise than the rule dictated to her
tradition into which she was born. Perhaps this is precisely why in
the new system she became the keeper of accumulated
experience, became the great spinner of human destinies and for
people who live within the tradition, she is the mother, the birth-
singing warriors.

In her womb, as in the cauldron of creation, laws are formed and


rules of human social existence. She collects in her palaces what
is happening in the human world, and from these information
threads weaves the fabric of the future. There are no elements
unknown to her in this canvas, each thread is someone’s already
lived life, a spoken word, a completed action. Tradition takes
everything into account
but arranges the elements together each time in a new way
Machine Translated by Google

and gets a new pattern. The only thing that limits the weaving of the
goddess Frigg is the rules of order, the principles of Odin, the
boundaries of his capabilities. Not the goddess Frigga
defines these boundaries, but she is the one who necessarily
takes into account.

Frigg and Odin are the two forces on which the entire system is
built. They gave birth to children, three sons, their heirs.
The eldest son is the blind god Höd, darkness incarnate. Second
son - the god Balder, light incarnate. The youngest son is Her-mod, a
god who is destined to become a messenger to the world
Helheim. You will learn about each of them further.
If we look at this narrative metaphysically and use occult terminology,
we can say the following: Order and Tradition gave birth to Light and
Darkness68, and then something was born that would connect them
with each other. Light
and darkness are inseparable from each other. Possibly Balder and Hod
initially they were twins, but there is no clear mention of this in the
eddas.
The story begins with the fact that the god Balder began to have
terrible dreams. This is how Junior Ed describes this myth:
yes:

These dreams foreshadowed Balder's danger


life. And when he told those dreams to the aesirs, they held
all together council, and it was decided to protect Balder

68 In many ancient cosmological systems it is described that at first

from all dangers. And Frigg took an oath from fire and water, iron and
various metals, stones, earth, trees, diseases, animals, birds, poison
and snakes that they would not touch Balder. And when she did this
and told others, Balder and the Aesir began to amuse themselves with
the fact that Balder stood on the field of the Thing, and others had to
shoot arrows at him, someone to chop him with a sword, and someone
to throw stones at him. But no matter what they did, Baldr didn’t care,
and everyone considered it great.

good luck.

The maternal heart of the goddess set priorities based on


her love. It is bad when a mother gives her love to one of her
children more than to other children. But it’s doubly bad when
these children are gods. The keeper of tradition gravitates
towards the power of light, the power of good. He cares and
cares, more than about other forces of the system, about his
other children. Those who are loved are forgiven more; The
eyes always look at loved ones from a certain angle, without
noticing what others see. But the gods used to do this, and now p
All the information power of the goddess Frigg was aimed
at protecting the bright Balder. The fabric of reality that the
goddess weaves is illuminated by the light of the good and
beautiful god and in this light looks delightful. It’s just that the
pattern on this canvas begins to repeat itself. And the further
you go, the more noticeable it becomes. And to everyone. But
the first to react to the effect of repeated immutability was, of
course, the god Loki.
Machine Translated by Google

When Loki, the son of Lauveya, saw it, he was not pleased
that nothing would harm Balder. He went to Frigga, in Fensalir,
taking on the form of a woman. And Frigga asks if that woman
knows what the aces are doing on the field of the Thing. She
replies that everyone shoots at Balder, but this does not harm
him. Then Frigga said: “Neither iron nor wood will harm Balder.
I took an oath from them.” Then the woman asks: “Did all things
take an oath not to touch Balder?” Frigga replies: “There is a
shoot growing west of Valhalla, which is called mistletoe. He
seemed too young to me to take an oath from him.” The woman
left immediately.

A strange reasoning of a goddess who knows the principle of the


formation of events, who herself weaves the threads of destinies
into the patterns of the future. This is also stated in the famous
“Arrangement of Locke” by the Elder Edda:

Freya said: “You


are crazy, Loki, why
did you start a story
about atrocities: I
think Frigga knows
all the destinies,
even though she keeps them secret.”

The goddess keeps the fates written in secret and does not
interfere with the holy law of the wyrd. But in relation to my son, I love

th she went to violate her own law - who
will reproach the mother for protecting her child? Only
she herself will reproach. And no one else will dare.
Loki uprooted that mistletoe shoot and went to
ting field. Hod stood apart from the men who surrounded
Balder, for he was blind. Then Loki spoke to him:
“Why don’t you throw something at Balder?” That
replies: “Because I do not see where Balder stands,
and I don’t have a weapon.” Then Loki said: “All the same

rod". Höd took a sprig of mistletoe and threw it at Balder, like
Loki pointed out to him. That rod pierced Balder and fell
he falls to the ground dead. And so the greatest thing happened
misfortune for gods and people.

This is the most tragic part in the entire narrative of the


northern epic. On the surface, it is perceived as villainy. But if
we look at it in volume and from a magical point of view, then
we can see a lot more in this tragedy. But
history will tell us about the true meaning of what happened
Balder, not Frigga. Frigga did as her power dictated
and nature: she is the keeper of tradition, she must protect
the past and form from the stories and events of the past

extended this principle to Balder, and the principles of goodnes
which he embodies, also turned out to be “served by law”,

on the full moon or new moon, without the help of iron, sometimes
with a golden sickle, and it should not have touched the ground.” However, taking literally what

same reason, no changes were required: the mother’s love protected
from everything. Tradition prefers precisely such algorithms of good as
those expressed by the god Balder, and this was clear to everyone and
accepted by everyone. For the northern system, Balder was an ideal
program that did not require changes, only protection.

the structure of the firmament, about the nine worlds and the creatures that
inhabit them. Looking beyond the visible, the völva saw the end of the
existence of everything created, she saw Ragnarok and the death of the
gods, as well as what led to this:

has already been decided, woven together by the Norns. Only the
one who weaves the fabric of reality for everyone could change
anything, but even she could not - the mistletoe intervened, not
knowing the roots. Balder died, and the Younger Edda describes in
detail how it happened:

When Balder fell, the tongue stopped obeying the Aesir, and their hands
did not obey them to raise him. They looked at each other, and everyone had
one thought - about who did it. But it was impossible to take revenge: that place
was sacred to everyone. And when the aces tried

to speak, at first only crying was heard, for no one could
tell another in words about their grief. But it was the
hardest for Odin to bear the loss: he understood better
than others how great the damage Balder’s death
caused to the
Aesir... ...The Aesir lifted Balder’s body and carried it
to the sea. Hring-horni was the name of Balder's boat,
which is the greatest of all ships. The gods wanted to
lower her into the sea and light a funeral pyre on her.
But the rook did not move. Then they sent to the Land
of Giants for a giantess named Hyrrokkin72. When she
arrived - riding a wolf, and snakes served as her reins -
and jumped down to the ground, Odin called four
berserkers to hold her horse, but they could not hold
him until they knocked him down. Then Hyurrokkin went
to the bow of the boat and moved it with the very first
push, so that sparks fell from the rollers and the whole
earth shook. Then Thor became angry and grabbed the
hammer. He would
have broken her skull, but all the gods asked to spare
her. Then Balder’s body was transferred to the boat, and
as soon as his wife Nanna, daughter of the Flail, saw it,
her heart broke with grief and she died. They put her on
the fire and lit it. Thor stood nearby and blessed the fire
with the hammer Mjollnir. And a certain dwarf named
Lith ran at
his feet, and Thor kicked him into the fire, and he
burned. Many different people gathered around the fire. First

Heimdall rode his horse Golden Bangs, while Freya
rode her cats. A great people of frosty giants and
mountain giants also came there. Odin placed the
golden ring Draupnir on the fire. Since then, this ring
has had a property: every ninth night, eight rings of
the same weight drip from it. Balder's horse was
mounted on the fire in all its harness. Now we must
tell
about Hermod that he rode for nine nights through
dark and deep valleys and saw nothing until he
approached the Gjoll River and stepped onto a bridge
lined with luminous gold. Modgud is the name of the
maiden guarding that bridge. She asked what his
name was and what family he was, and said that the
day before five hordes of dead men had passed
across the bridge, “so the bridge rumbles just as
much under you alone, and you don’t look like a dead
person in your face. Why are you coming here, along
the Road to Hel?” He replies: “I need to go to Hel to
find Balder, but perhaps you saw Balder on the Road
to Hel?” And she said that Balder passed over the
bridge over
Gjöll, "and the Road to Hel goes down and to the
north." Then Hermod rode on until he reached the
lattice gate to Hel. Then he dismounted, tightened the
horse’s girth, jumped on it again, put spurs in its
sides, and the horse jumped over the gate, so high that it

and, dismounting from his horse, stepped into the chambers
and saw his brother Balder there in a
place of honor. Hermod spent the night there. And the next
morning he began to ask Hel to let Balder go back, telling him
what great crying the Aesir had. But Hel said that we need to
check whether everyone really loves Balder as much as they
say. And if everything on earth, living or dead, weeps for
Balder, he will return to the Aesir. But he will remain with Hel
if anyone resists and does not cry. Then Hermod rose, and
Balder escorted him out of the chambers and, taking the ring
Draupnir, sent it as a souvenir to Odin, and Nanna sent Frigg
her cloth and other gifts, and Fulla the ring. So Hermod set off
on his way back, came to Asgard and told how it was, what
he saw and
heard. The Aesir immediately sent messengers all over
the world to ask everyone to cry and thus rescue Balder from
Hel. Everyone did just that: people and animals, earth and
stones, trees and all metals, and you saw that they all cried
when they came from the cold to the warmth. When the
messengers returned home, having completed their work
properly, they saw a giantess sitting in a cave. She called
herself Tökk. They ask her to rescue Balder from Hel by
crying. She

answers:

“Tökk will cry with

And people believe that it was none other than Loki,


son of Lauveya, who caused the greatest evil to the Aesir.
No, it wasn't Loki. It really was a giantess
Tökk, whose name means "gratitude." Ancient memory,
the past, which had gone into darkness, did not want to thank Baldr,
did not regret his death. Memory doesn't need such goodness,
which has not passed the test of natural selection. This
good, from the point of view of memory of everything and about
everything, is not universal for all worlds, which means that at least
for some it may not be good, but evil. And this is wrong

an action is always a reaction to a violation of the first principles of

Odin and Frigg demonstrated, this love must be earned, but this was
not required of Balder. Nowhere in the sagas is it

in common adventures, and this shows exactly what was said

Hel
In the narrative of the northern myth, the goddess Hel occupies
a special place, which is a reflection of her absolute self-sufficiency
and the unique position that
was formed for her by the entire system of the Nine Worlds.
First of all, you need to see and understand that this goddess is not
is the goddess of death. In the northern myth, such a function as
“death” is not personified at all; for this system it is not something
that has independent
characteristics, has no character, preferences or appearance. Death
in the Northern Reality Building Program
not a function, but a phenomenon that exists because there are
other phenomena. Death does not exist by itself. This understanding
was so natural for those living in that era,
that it never occurred to anyone to describe Death as an independent
personality, giving it some characteristics
recognition
Goddess Hel is not death, but she is a guardian
world of the dead. It doesn't bring the end of life,
because she does not go beyond the boundaries of her own world at all:
everyone goes to her, but she goes to no one.
Hel is the eldest daughter of the god Loki and the goddess
Angrboda, sister of Jormungandr and Fenrir. No one remembers
what she was called at birth, because Hel is not a name, but rather a r

life Hel is the name of the world, and the goddess who becomes
its ruler traditionally receives its name. Guardian of the worlds of
Nifelheim and Helheim, she was born
was for this mission. Her nature is dual, as is her appearance:
some said that she was terrible, while others said that she was
beautiful. Which is not surprising, because everyone sees in another
what he wants to see.
The Elder Edda speaks little and sparingly about the goddess
Hel; rather mentions her world, but not herself. They go to Hel, to He
they send, they hasten to Hel, they stay in Hel. But they didn’t talk
or talk about my goddess herself. She is not an object
for description, it is unknown to the living, and the people, who
were accustomed to telling only the truth, could not talk about what
I didn’t see it with my own eyes. Only the dead or only the gods
(and even then not all) could know the Lady Hel, but neither
no others were in a hurry to describe this acquaintance as something
definite. However, the Younger Edda and later Christian
consciousness no longer had that internal stopper that forbade
talking about what you don’t know, so the owners of the Christian
worldview still decided to describe the goddess and her world, and
did it like this:
Loki also had other children. One was called Angrboda
a giantess from the Land of Giants. She gave birth to
Loki has three children. The first son is Fenrir Wolf, the other
- Jormungandr, aka the World Serpent, and his daughter is Hel.
When the gods discovered that these three children were growing up

in the Land of Giants, - and the gods learned from the
prophetess that they could expect great troubles from those
children, and everyone expected great evil from the children
of such a vile mother, and even more so the children of such
a father - so the All-Father sent the gods to take those children
and bring them to him . And when they came to him, he threw
that Serpent into the deep sea, surrounding the whole earth,
and the Serpent grew so large that, lying in the middle of the
sea, it girded the whole earth and was biting its own tail. And
Odin cast the giantess Hel into Niflheim and made her rule
the nine worlds, so that she would give shelter to everyone
who was sent to her, and these are people who died from
illness or old age. There she has large villages, and her
fences are amazingly high and her bars are strong. Wet
Drizzle is the name of her chambers, Hunger is her dish,
Exhaustion is her knife, Sloth is the servant, Sonya is the
maid, Misfortune is the grate falling on the threshold. Bed of

half meat-colored, and is easy to recognize because she slouches

who is trying to go back to such antiquity will inevitably
approach those limits where any knowledge disappears,
where the very possibility of determining anything ends.

dominion of the goddess of the Other world. That is why there is such a great
difference in the descriptions of the goddess’s appearance: after all, everyone
has their own unknown, their own carefully guarded fears, their own hidden
horror. The goddess does not change her appearance for everyone, because she has

Someone, for example, Snorri, son of Sturla, saw in her face
blue corpse and living meat; some described rot and decomposition, others
a skull and bones - after all, everyone lives inside

her wisdom and kindness, about true strength, to which the human mind
cannot oppose anything - and this too

was looking for. But nothing in this vision is true or ultimately true
- the ancient goddess of primordial chaos does not

were describing something that cannot be described.
Later, they tried to express this simple truth through the
genealogy of the goddess Hel: the Jotun nature is a werewolf

this is an attempt to explain, and not the explanation itself, which
is always concrete, final, and this means that to the goddess Hel
not applicable in principle. Behind this explanation of nature
of werewolves, you just need to see what the ancient magicians
understood by this nature. Werewolf, they said,
this is the one in whom the second essence becomes equal or
stronger than the first - human or the one in which he was born. If
they are equal, then you can turn around at will if
but the second one becomes stronger, then such a transformation will take place
spontaneous, chaotic. In the case of the origin of the goddess Hel,
we can add that the changeable nature of her father Loki and the
ancient power of the continuous memory of the goddess Angrboda
united into such a unique property when inside there is
all possible images of manifestation and existence, which

Some can change depending on the eye of the beholder.
This is the ancient description of the quantum decoherence effect:

It is worth noting that the goddess Hel is named and is the mistress of the
worlds of Helheim and Nifelheim. However, the world of Nifelheim is a very
ancient world, at least we see its description initially - this is an ancient world

darkness, where all the old first principles of construction are stored
realities, and they are expressed in the image of the ancient hrimtursen, frost
giants, the ancestors of almost all aces. In the magical interpretation of
worldbuilding, Nifelheim is associated
with the fundamental principle of Darkness, while the world of Helheim is
associated with the fundamental principle of Chaos. The Lady Hel does not
control these worlds, does not control their power, but keeps them in some kind

Darkness and the World of Chaos. During the transition from the world
of the living to the world of the departed, the temporal is separated from

point of view of Asgardian magical programming, what the algorithms of
good and victory recognize as unnecessary and worthless goes into the

manifest itself, remove the veils of the idea
about myself. Their life should not be lived in vain, and even then,
that they were not “useful” to the gods of Asgard does not mean at all
that all life experience should dissolve into chaos and go into oblivion. Hel

The god Balder, having found himself together with his blind brother
in the halls of the goddess Hel, plunged into a world that is completely
antagonistic to the habitually ordered Asgard.
If Asgard concentrated everything that was most powerful and most
unfortunate (from the point of view of the principles of Odin’s order), then
Hel, in contrast, collected all the worst things. Balder,
like Buddha, from birth he saw only the best and not
having the opportunity to compare, did not have algorithms for locating
knowing what is best and what is worst. In the world of the goddess Hel
he has the opportunity to get acquainted with what he
never knew - with mistakes made, with others
lived destinies, with stories that the Einherjar do not tell. This is a new
experience, and Balder will have it
comprehend together with his brother Höd - the volume of their
knowledge should be equal.
Balder's brother Hermod found him in the chambers of Hel the pale
and focused. Once a cheerful and joyful god, a carefree joker, in his

Is it possible to understand the value of life when you have never died?
Is it possible to understand the value of death if you have never
lived? Balder must become good for everyone, which means that
he must experience everything, comprehend everything, understand everything. Adulthood
Baldra and Hyoda stand at stake in the future of the world. On this basis,
worlds should be created after the battle of Ragnarok. Balder
could not become an adult, wise and truly strong
in the world of Asgard, and so Loki sent him to where it is
guaranteed to be possible - to his daughter Hel.
In the world of Hel, everyone is on completely equal terms. There they
are not divided into gods or heroes, into people
or miniatures - in the world of the goddess Hel, everyone is the same, everyone
is dead and everyone is a loser according to the algorithms of good, approved
Asgard. But in the world of Hel it is not
the difference of all those present there, but their sameness. It was this
quality that the god Balder had to see and know,
as the god of Good, - after all, the good that he brings must be
understandable and desirable for everyone. Not monotonous, but precisely
accepted by everyone, so different, but in some ways completely the same.
This sameness is what Balder needs

traditionally represented as an old woman. Goddess Verdandi was seen by
people of old times as a woman
middle-aged. Goddess Skuld seemed to be the youngest of the three
goddesses. They are always together, but the name Skuld sometimes
appears among the list of Valkyrie names - perhaps his work
She also performed thread cutting on the battlefield. We see partly this dual
work of the goddess Skuld in
in various songs of the northern myth: for some, the thread of life was
measured and cut off in advance, and for others, the thread of fate was
already cut on the canvas of reality, fixing the woven pattern, clearing it of
“extra tails” that were not needed
to one who is worthy, in the opinion of the god Odin, to become an Einherjar.

Norns are not a force that can be ignored.
The gods knew this, and people knew it too. Speaking of Norns, people
talked about fate, fate and inevitability. It must be said that
people of ancient times believed in fate absolutely. However
the worldview of man at that time made it possible to distinguish
two types of fate - Wyrd and Orlyog.
