Aesir gods

Todays is the second part about Norse dynasties of gods. Previous post was about Vanir gods, now we talk about Æsir gods.

Æsir is a principal pantheon which includes: Odin, Frigg, Thor, Baldr and Tyr.

This was a gods dynasty of among the benevolent gods of politics and military activities. Their habitat was placed on the top of a big tree and it was a one of the nine worlds caled Asgard.

The Æsir most likely symbolized the violent aspects of nature, in contrast with the Vanir.

The Aesir have always been a powerful tribe that values strength above all else, always remaining unchallenged until they met their match against the Vanir.

All Aesir seen so far can use elemental power to enhance their physical abilities and weaponry.  

See you soon, Bye!

Vanir gods

Hi, Guys! In this and next post I tell you a little bit about Norse Mythology.

In Norse there were two dynasty of gods: Æsir and Vanir. The older one is Vanir, which was ruling the world till the time a second dynasty overthrow them. These two pantheons wage war against each other, which results in a unified pantheon.

And this post is going to be about the Vanir, hope you like it.

Vanir were gods associated with fertility, wisdom, and the ability to see the future and are the namesake of the location Vanaheimr. After the Æsir–Vanir War, the Vanir became a subgroup of the Æsir. Subsequently, members of the Vanir are sometimes also referred to as members of the Æsir. The best konown Vanir gods are Freyja, Freyr and Njoror. 

This is Vanaheimr, house of Vanirs gods.

That's all, see you son!

Big Brothers

Todays post is going to be about three big brothers, or actually two of them, couse you might know the first one from the post about Zeus. The others were Hades and Poseidon. This three were the most powerfull gods in all uniwerse and they were drewning the authorities in the world. Poseidon got the water kingdom, Hades – underworld and Zeus got heaven and became the king of Olimp. Their parents are Rhea and Cronus.

Hades was the god of the underworld and the name came to also describe the home of the dead as well. He was called 'The Kinf of Death' and he was punnishing human souls.

Poseidon was god of the sea, earthquakes, storms, and horses and is considered one of the most bad-tempered, moody and greedy Olympian gods. He was known to be vengeful when insulted.
