Transcript of nordic journey
Home of the light elves.
Their home was right by
Asgard in the
heaven. They were
beautiful creatures
and were considered the
“guardian angels” in
Norse Mythology. The
light elves were
certainly a good omen.
Alfheim
This was the home of the
Jotuns, the giants, who
lived in the
mountains. There was
a river called Ifingr
which separated
Jotunheim and Asgard.
The river was fast
flowing and therefore
never froze.
Jotunheim
In Norse mythology,
Yggdrasil is an immense
tree that is central in Norse
cosmology the world tree,
and around the tree existed
nine worlds. It is generally
considered to mean “Ygg’s
Odin’s horse”.
Yggdrasil
Jormungander the midgard
serpent was a dragon of
limitless power, it’s coils
spanned across the earth and
as far as the eye could see.
Then it was cast far out into
the deepest oceans.
