NORSE MYTHOLOGY: How did Ymir Die? - Told by Bestla (Mother of Odin)

NORSE MYTHOLOGY: How did Ymir Die? - Told by Bestla (Mother of Odin)

This video tells the very beginning of the Norse creation myth, from the vast nothing of Ginnungagap to the first gods. From Ymir to Odin, and the events that lead to the death of the first being in Norse creation. Bestla - giantess and mother to Odin, tells the tale from her own eyes in this video!

Living Mythology is an attempt to entertain, relax and educate all in the one place. We are trying to forge narratives so that people can experience the religions and mythologies of the world as they were meant to be. Not as dry academic monoliths, but as living breathing tales and parables as experienced by the peoples who worshipped these beings, in an attempt to make sense of their own lives and the world around them.

This channel is in its infancy, so we hope to improve and develop it as we gain more experience.

All of the tales are taken from very conflicting traditions across many centuries, so there will be many a moment when decisions need to be made to create a more cohesive narrative. If we present something that seems to be in contrast to details, rest assured we have researched many forms of the traditions and come to the conclusions we have done to form the videos.
There will NEVER be total agreement on any of these narratives due to the history and differing ways they developed over the centuries.
These videos are for entertainment and an easy gateway to the subject. If you wish more academic details then please direct your attention to the wide source material and others who perform those types of academic video essays.
