The Loki Mythology

The Loki myth is probably one of the oldest in Western literature. In mythology, he is a king among the gods who can manipulate fire and turn it into an unholy monster, intending to destroy his brother, Thor, with it. This is just one of the myths of the Norse culture, but it certainly captures the imagination of many readers as it gives them a taste of how life was when the gods were still ruling the mortal world. The story is about a man named Loki, who falls in love with the daughter of a god, Heimdall, but Heimdall seduces the woman and takes over her kingdom, leaving her in despair.

These days, many scholars believe that the Heimdall/Hera myth may not be completely true because Heimdall could have been either dead or unable to lead because he was away on one of his hunts. Also, there are some other discrepancies in the myths. For instance, it is widely believed that Heimdall’s daughter was not murdered by the giant, whereas it is stated that he did. There is also some evidence that Heimdall may not have been a god at all and instead, it might be possible that the giant, Volstagg, may have been the rightful ruler of the human world, which would explain why he killed Heimdall.

Today, there are many versions of the mythology of the Norns. One of the most popular of these is the story of the Nordic goddess, Frigg. In this story, she is shown to be the consort of the hero, Eric of Stellberg and the mother of the divine nymph, Egeria. Another version of the mythology is the story of Baldr where Baldr is the god of wisdom who is described as being extremely handsome. It is believed that Baldr kidnapped the goddess Diana through deception and transported her to a cave where she laid hidden for nine years where she lay inactive awaiting the arrival of the hero.
