I Love Norse Mythology

[c=#7700B2]i so love Norse mythology stories. Like one of my fav stories is how Loki turned into a female horse to lure away a builders horse so that the gods would not lose the sun, moon and Freya in a oath they made.. In the process Loki got pregnant to said horse and gave birth to a 8 legged horse that he gave to Odin..

why cant other religions be as interesting as that? lol[/c]

@PlumBerries yes, Odin, in an act of great humility, went to his sworn enemies the frost giants for only they had what he sought, he was not only spared but also rewarded for his bravery.

he left his eye in the pool in the roots of Yggdrasil, he sacrificed a window into the physical world for one into the spiritual

@PlumBerries yes, he even accepts his own mortality, he does not claim to be immortal as nothing ever is.
