Stories from Northern Myths

Dive into a vivid retelling of the earliest Norse legends, where frozen mist and blazing fire meet in the endless gulf of Gin‑gunnagap. You’ll hear how the giant Ymir is born from ice, snow and sparks, how the curious cow Audhumbla nourishes both giant and a mysterious man, and how the first god‑son, Bure, awakens to herald a new lineage. The narrative follows Odin and his brothers as they confront Ymir, shaping the earth, sea and sky from his colossal body while carving a protective fence of eyebrows against the lingering frost‑giants.

Beyond the creation, the collection weaves episodes of cunning tricksters, valiant warriors and the fierce Valkyries who guide heroes to the halls of the afterlife. Each tale is rendered in clear, lyrical prose that brings the thunderous battles and tender moments of the Eddic world to life, inviting listeners to explore a mythic landscape where fire, ice and destiny entwine.
