Scenario: 68 Years later, Anne has died and accepted to take the Guardian’s place.

Anne:*sees four gods playing a round of poker* Wow! Zeus, King of Olympus, Odin the Allfather,  the Sun God Ra and...Hey, how did you get here?

Gadget Hackwrench: Oh there’s a cult in Russia dedicated to me. Apparently whoever translates the show ether forgot to do the Case of the Cola Cult or did a very poor job of conveying it’s message.

Pathetic Gamer dudes: *Crying about the Thor design, ignoring how not only is it more accurate to the Norse Myths, but is a body that actually looks strong and badass; like a Strongman competitor*

Disney has trademarked the names of a bunch of Norse gods.

This is not okay.

These gods do not belong to Disney. They do not belong to Marvel. They belong to themselves and themselves alone, along with all those who worship them as the deities they are.

Thor, Loki, Odin, etc., these gods were not thought up by anyone at Disney or Marvel.

Stan Lee knew how sacred these gods are to those who follow many different Pagan traditions, how sacred they are to Scandinavian cultures to whom they are so important.

My best friend follows the Norse gods. She will be so bloody offended when she finds out about this. These are her gods, this is her religion. These are the deities she worships, the gods she prays to, the traditions she follows. She enjoys the Marvel portrayals of these characters, but they are separate from the gods she believes in.

Disney is stepping on her religion in an effort to gain more and more money.

Stan Lee did not trademark these names. He understood their importance and their sacred meaning. He was respectful enough not to do this.

These names are not the intellectual property of anyone. Neither the original names in runes nor the anglicised names that are used in Marvel's works.

They were around well before us (a whole ass millennium before us), and they will be around well after the greedy bastards who have decided to trademark religious symbols are dust.

It should be common sense and common courtesy not to trademark the names of religious figures, which all of these gods and goddesses are, even if you do not believe in them.

mod is not christian but you would never see me trademark jesus ffs it crosses a Line

If you agree, please sign and share the petition. If you can, please chip in to get this petition everywhere it can possibly go.

It is f**king disgusting that Disney is doing this.

It needs to stop.

Oh, and one more thing.

FUCK DISNEY.

Lofn was the goddess of forbidden loves in Norse mythology. Her name possibly meant ‘comforter’ or ‘loving’ and she could be invoked to get rid of the shame around one's forbidden desires. Lofn also facilitated lovers coming together, and protected them from the wrath of others. Whilst she may not have changed the minds of those who disapproved, she helped star-crossed lovers find a way to be together safely and helped create their own hearth where the vision was more tolerant. In chapter 35 of Prose Edda she was described as “She is so gentle and so good to invoke that she has permission from All-Father or Frigg to arrange unions between men and women, even if earlier offers have been received and unions have been banned. From her name comes the word lof, meaning permission as well as high praise.” (Elie Saab Fall 2017 Haute Couture Collection)

My Norse Mythology lecturer loves your work, but she was kind of pissed that you turned the story of Skirnir's Journey into a throwaway couple of paragraphs

I retold the version from the Prose Edda, instead of the longer version in the Poetic Edda, because in the Prose Edda Skirnir doesn't, when he fails to persuade Gerd to marry Freyr, threaten her until she agrees to marry him against her will. Instead, he asks her and she agrees. I made my choice between the longer, poetic rapey version of the story and the prose non-rapey version, and I chose the shorter, but non-rapey version.

Danish photographer Jim Lyngvild has created a gallery of female Danish public figures and family members dressed as Völva - shamanic Norse women - based on archaeological studies and findings in Viking graves. The headdress of wolf and cubs' skulls is incredible.

“Miss Brenner, I understand that burning down the Gävle Goat is a popular meme on the internet, but actually burning it down is a serious crime,” said the consular official.

Brianna nodded. “I know-”

“It carries a maximum of a three-month prison sentence,” said the consular official. “Your status as a visiting Canadian would not protect you.”

“I know, but-”

“The Swedish police found a longbow and kerosene in your possession, and the fact that they’re willing to drop the charges is - frankly - a miracle.”

Brianna was bouncing her leg underneath the table, sending little anxious tremors through the metal.

“All the police chief wants is the secure knowledge that you won’t attempt it again as soon as you’re let out of this room,” said the consular official.

The leg stopped. The table stilled.

“Is the goat still standing?” Brianna asked.

It wasn’t an encouraging answer.

The consular official - whose name was Allan Allman - drummed his fingers on the table. Brianna Brenner did not look like an arsonist. He didn’t know what an arsonist looked like, but whatever the image he could conjure was, Brianna Brenner did not look like it. She looked like she was going to throw up.

He made up his mind. “Brianna,” he said. “You chose to invoke your right to contact the Canadian embassy. Any information you give me will remain confidential under the provisions of the Privacy Act.” He gestured to the four walls with his pen. “It never has to leave this room.”

There was a window on one wall, showing a shiny, dawning New Years Day through steel mesh. Brianna stared out of it gloomily.

“If someone is coercing you, or otherwise compelling you to do this…” Allan shrugged. “I don’t know, but if that’s the case, you should let the police know about this.”

For the first time since he had walked into the room, Brianna Brenner looked at Allan in the eyes.

“They wouldn’t be able to help,” she said.

That definitely wasn’t an encouraging answer.

She seemed to make up her own mind and sat up. “Okay,” she said. “Okay - Christ how do I even start this - okay. So. My grandfather was Bjørner Brenner. He burned down the goat in 2005.”

Allan blinked. “Okay?”

“And in 2004,” she said. “And 2000, 1998, 1995, 1991, and - and probably more times than that. And you know, when you’re a kid, you don’t really ask questions, and you figure that’s just what Grandpa does, he goes to Sweden once a year and burns down a goat.”

Her leg was bouncing under the table again. Little ripples trembled through a cup of coffee.

“And then - and then when I was like, ten? He sat me down and told me that Thor had chosen him as the descendant of Thialfi to hunt down the Yule Goat, however it appeared.”

She made a high, hysterical noise at Allan’s expression, less of a laugh and more of a bubble of familial horror rising to the surface. “Oh, I know! It’s crazy, I always thought it was crazy. But then, you know, it just became part of what Grandpa does. He goes to Sweden and talks to Thor.”

“Is your grandfather the person forcing you to burn down the goat?”

“No,” she said. “No, Grandpa died about seven years ago. And then other people burned down the Gävle Goat, and then it became a meme online, and it was kind of sad and kind of weird, but I liked that my Grandpa was part of this weird, weird thing.

“And then last week-”

She stopped bouncing her leg. She stared around the room, looking anywhere but at Allan’s face.

“And the thing is-” She stopped. She tried again. “The goat hadn’t burned down in the last four years, and if it isn’t-”

An anxious tremor shook the floor. Another ripple rolled across the coffee.

Brianna pulled her fingers through her hair. “I sound insane,” she said. “Christ. But then - then He showed me what would happen if the goat wasn’t burned down.”

Another tremor. Another ripple.

“Brianna?” asked Allan.

“Thor killed the Yule Goat every night,” she said. She stared into a private universe of horror. “Killed every night, and resurrected every day. Thialfi broke the cycle, and it became his job to make sure the cycle could continue.”

Another tremor. Muffled by the metal door, someone was shouting in the hall.

“Then it turned to every year. Then every other year. The goat has been left untouched for longer and longer, and now it’s been left untouched for longer than it ever has before.”

Another tremor. More shouting. The sounds of running.

“Thor didn’t kill the Yule Goat to be cruel. He did it so that its power wouldn’t grow too great.”

Now a tremor shook the whole room. The coffee leaped and rolled and fell to the floor with a clatter.

Something huge, bipedal, and bellowing blotted out the sun through the window.

It was made of straw.

“Happy new year,” said Brianna.

I am so glad this scene from the novel made it in,(with even more emotion too), cause they finally acknowledge Hilda's missing dad and how she's clearly bothered by this. I really hope this is explored in season 3.

I mean just look how disappointed she is learning that she's fatherless even as a troll.

Nanna (or Nanna Nepsdóttir) was the goddess of joy and peace as well as being associated with the god Baldr (god of bravery) in Norse mythology. Her story has varied over the years and in some she was the wife of Baldr and together they produced a son named Forseti (god of justice). After Baldr's death, she died of grief and was placed on his ship with his corpse and the two were set aflame and pushed out to sea. In Niflheim, Baldr and Nanna were united once again. In an attempt to bring him back from the dead, the god Hermóðr (messenger of the gods) rode to Hel (goddess of the death) upon receiving the hope of resurrecting Baldr from the goddess. In another story Nanna was mortal and a love interest to both the demi-god Baldr and the mortal Höðr. Spurred by their mutual attraction towards her, both men repeatedly did battle with one another. However Nanna was only interested in Höðr and in the end wed him, while Baldr wasted away from nightmares about Nanna. (Elie Saab Fall 2017 Haute Couture Collection)

Hel; Queen of the Dead. Daughter of Loki, one half of her body decays like a corpse while the other is fresh and young. She reigns over Helheim, realm of the dead, with her hound Garm. Associated with death but most of all, the acceptance of it.

Iðunn; the Eternally Young. Fair, generous and luminous, keeper of the golden apples which grant the Gods their immortality. Associated with purity, youth and innocence.
