Norse mythology is a polytheistic system, which can be roughly divided into four systems: giants, gods, elves and dwarfs. Among them, the giants created the world and gave birth to the gods, but they were also the greatest enemies of the gods. The gods are divided into two tribes, the Asir tribe (ASIR) headed by the main god Odin and the Vanir tribe headed by the sea god Niord. There are twelve main gods:
I. Odin: Lord God.
Odin is the king of the gods, the ruler of the world, and is also known as the "Heavenly Father". He wears a large golden helmet with two divine crows perched on his shoulders, symbolizing "thought" and "memory" respectively. They fly all over the world every morning and come back to report what they have seen to Odin. There are two wolves crouching at Odin's feet, serving as guards. In order to increase his intelligence, predict the future, and rule better, Odin wanted to drink water from the Well of Wisdom, the holy spring beside the roots of the Qinpi tree. But the giant Mimir who guarded the well asked him to give him an eye as a price, so Odin immediately gouged out one eye without thinking. After drinking the water from the well, he became knowledgeable. He invented the ancient Nordic writing (Rona), which was used by the fairies who controlled fate to record their fate on their shields.
II. Frigg:
Frigg is the goddess of love, in charge of marriage and family, and the wife of Odin. There is dominion in heaven and in Hades. She was beautiful, with white feathers in her golden hair. Wearing a white robe with a golden belt on which hangs a bunch of keys. She loves beautiful clothes and sparkling jewelry. She stole Odin's gold to buy a valuable necklace. When Odin found out, he ran away angrily. The universe was immediately ruled by the Frost Giants, and the harsh winter suffocated all life. This crisis did not end until Odin returned to Asgard seven months later.
III. Thor:
Thor, the eldest son of the main god Odin and the son of the earth goddess Pheochin. Thor is a tall man with extraordinary arm strength. He has a pair of leopard eyes and a red beard. Thor's clothes were simple, but he wore a magic belt around his waist, which doubled his strength. Thor wears an iron gauntlet and holds on to the magic hammer Mjollner. Thor has been in the east all year round to defend against the invasion of frost giants and pythons, and to protect the homes of the gods. Thor is upright and dares to contradict Odin. Thor is grumpy but heroic. When the end of the gods came, Thor, the god of thunder, fought again with the python of Midgard (Grafvinir), and died together with the python.
IV. Siv:
Siv is the wife of Thor, the god of strength, and the goddess of land and harvest. What is particularly commendable is that she has long golden hair, which shines more beautifully than gold. The goddess Sif was very proud of this and often sat in her garden combing her blond hair, which aroused Loki's idea of ??mischief. Loki cut off Sif's proud blonde hair while she was sleeping. Rocky's prank made Sif very sad. While Sif was crying, Thor, the god of strength, returned home. Thor immediately knew that this was Loki's fault, so he rushed out of the house and grabbed Loki, preparing to remove his bones. Loki was in pain, desperately begging for mercy: he vowed to find a skilled craftsman in the dwarf kingdom to make Sif an identical set of golden hair that could grow freely.
V. Freyr:
Freyr is the god of abundance, prosperity, love, and peace, and the king of the beautiful fairyland Alfheim. It is said that he and Balder are both the god of light, or the sun god. His elves do good deeds all over the world. He often rides a wild boar with a golden mane to patrol. Everyone enjoys the peace and happiness he has bestowed upon them. He has a sword that shines brightly and can fly through the clouds and mists. He also has a miniature magic ship that can carry all the gods and their weapons if necessary.
VI. Loki:
Loki is the god of fire. The son of the giant Farbot and the half-brother of Odin, Loki is a descendant of the Frost Giants. He is handsome but surly. He gave birth to some terrible monsters, such as Fenrisian wolves, Midgardian pythons, etc. He appears to be kind, but is actually treacherous. He often makes rude remarks, quarrels with other gods, and causes trouble. At first he was just teasing for the sake of teasing, such as secretly cutting off Sif's hair. Later, he committed evil unscrupulously and turned into a demon, even instigating the God of Darkness to murder the God of Light. He was proficient in magic and had vast supernatural powers. He could turn himself into countless monsters in an instant. Later, he was tied up with iron chains because of his crimes.
VII. Tyr:
Tyr is the god of war and the son of the giant Himiel. Legend has it that he is the guarantor of the contract and the protector of the oath. While the other gods laughed with the Fenrisian wolf and tied it up, Tyr thrust his arm into the wolf's mouth as a guarantor of trust. The wolf discovered that the gods who had bound it were actually setting a trap, and immediately bit off Tyr's arm. From then on Tyr became a one-armed god. But he always looks majestic and majestic when wearing a sword. The ancient custom of swearing by the sword originated from the Norse people's worship of Tyr, the god of war. Many traditional sword dances are choreographed in honor of the God of War.
