What is you understanding of Norse Mythology. I would like to hear about other peoples understandings.

All I got is tht there are 9 worlds, there is one for humans, one for elves and one for gods (not quite sure about the 6 others).
I also understood Beowolf (I think that's his name) was a brave king that fell in love with a demon/spirit of somekind and got killed while killing it.
Check out wikipedia, its a good site.
It's really confusing. I like Greek better.

I took a course on Norse Mythology. For a while I considered getting my PhD in anthropology with a focus on Scandinavian culture and Ancient Norse Culture (which would have included mythology).
I would be happy to help, but you should really try to find a course or something like that if you're going to base a novel on it.
So what are you looking for? General info? Traits of gods? Some good stories? Why mistletoe causes Ragnarök? Why Thor has a reputation for cross-dressing?

Norse mythology is about the Aegis of Asgard. It is very similar to Greek / Roman mythology. Like Frey and Freya are Atremis and Apollo, Ares, and Ty, Frigg and Hera.
I can continue forever.
My favorite is the goddess Var, the goddess of wisdom.
