Nordic mythology refers to northern Europe people beliefs, although that wasn’t disclosed from gods to humans. One of the particular facts about this culture is the way they see universe or the world in general for example it explains how various places are habited by the different creatures, heroes, gods, kings, and so on, basically, how the world is divided. On the other hand, the Nordics believe in human sacrifice, however there are similarities with the Christianity, for example they also have priests and faith centers that somehow influences modern culture; for this reasons we should know a little about Nordic Mythology. In the Nordic mythology, the world is represented by a disc situated in a branch of YGGDRASIL's tree, that tree is divided in nine worlds including our world. In Respect to our world, it is divided in three parts: the top one is ASGARD joined by a rainbow called BYFROST. In the second place in the middle is located MIDGARD, human’s home and it is the world that we know. Finally in the lower is located NIFLEN, a dark and cold place where the dead lives, is similar to Christian hell. In conclusion the Nordic world is like the Christian world with more gods, humans and devil; but in the Nordic mythology exist many gods.
For the Nordic mythology, there are three supernatural groups: the AESIR, the VANIR and the JOTUN. On one hand the AESIR and the VANIR were gods venerated for the Nordic breeds, on the other hand he JOTUN were the dangerous creatures for humans. First of all, the AESIR were gods who lived in ASGARD, such as THOR, god of thunder, BALDR god of beauty, TYR god of fighting, and so on; they integrated an assembly where ODIN was the most important god. Secondly the VANIR was another god, but more pacifist, for example the god of the wind, sea forest and the nature forces. Finally the JOTUN were like the titans and giants, they were monstrous creatures but rich and wise, and Gods benefited from them. There are similarities between Nordic old belief and western new belief. For instance the division of the world, but from another perspective, while we see the existence of heaven, hell, old Nordics they were other worlds. However there are contrasting aspects, for the Nordic mythology there were life in another planets, furthermore humans believed in many gods, in fact the Nordics worshiped a god for each nature force. This is very interesting because when I read the stories about fighting between gods and another creature and about the places of the world, and the universe I can feel these legends like reality, although it is only in our imagination.
