No god, I am aware of mythology, had ever before changed their aspect. That alone is a testiment to his power. But I have to say, the name Allfather is making more and more sense. He starts off like a typical youthful man, full of bluster, wrath, energy, and ready to meet any challenge head-on. But just like any man, he learns hard lessons through experience. Odin grows as he goes about it, becoming more wise and learned as time passes. The way you describe him, he reminds me of my grandfather; kind, wise, and experienced, but always ready give you an infernal beat down if required. As always, Sir Baldermort and Lady Lightbringer, you have done a most excellent job with this story. I eagerly await your next tale. 🤠 Yours Truly Zachariah
Our pleasure! The Living Mythology team (of two) thanks you! Baldermort and I work hard - so it's very lovely to be appreciated - thank you for watching and enjoying it! It makes it all worth it :) - Lightbringer
Thank you for watching - I'm very glad you're enjoying our work - We do a lot of research to truly capture the pantheons we are trying to depict! - Lightbringer
And thank you for watching, enjoying and commenting! It really does help the algorithm but it's also great for us too - I love to know what people think - enjoy or not enjoy - about our videos ! I hope you have a wonderful week! Lightbringer
Thank you so much my friend - I will of course pass the praise to Balders himself, but thanks from us both - As ever we send our warmest greetings back to you in Kilkenny R.O.I 🇮🇪
Oooo this one is so tricky to cover because the vanir as almost Elvish nature gods have a definite tricky deceptive and fey aspect I wanted to give you all the bonus points because this is such a tricky subject and the fact that there were multiple Pagan traditions among different tribes and peoples probably contributes to this vibe you're doing such a good job but you can almost see a very Celtic overlap with the Vanir such good work!!
Thank you so much - yes with multiple different traditions amongst different tribes it can be difficult to know which vibe to match - but we are very glad that you have enjoyed our version ! We try to capture the heart behind each pantheon carefully - Lightbringer
Cheers!!! We were trying something new and felt a bit unsure about it, so I'm very glad you enjoyed it !!! And thank you for your continued support my friend! - Lightbringer
Thank you for watching - we shall keep going with both greek mythology and norse ! And there's plenty more to explore but all in due time! - Lightbringer
WAHH, I forgot to comment..I watched this amazing piece last night with some of my good friends😎 You guys are by far the best story telling mythology channel on UA-cam, no competition. Your voiceover's are absolutely amazing. Odin was a little bit messed lol, but I am excited to see the facial animations improve overtime 😎 Fantastic work as you have done, and I hope to see it continue. 🤜🤛
Thank you for your kind words and your support my friend! We work hard and I'm very glad it's appreciated - yeah the talking heads are new but we thought we'd try something! - Lightbringer
I am ready to finish the last 7 minutes of this wonderful. Put together tail and i'm telling you what big capital b This I believe is one of the best pieces that you've done. When I tell people talk to people about the feeling of the inspiration to create art. You, my friend. Alright, true artist and and at least as far as I know. And think anyway, you are a regular human human and male not to touch anything along with anything else? But I think you'll find this funny because back in the old days. That was newspapers and books and magazineeds to take to the morning's Thrown However this morning i'm gonna take this definish listen to a set upon the Throne
Ngl, I really wish there was surviving mythology that explained the origin(s) of the vanir. I mean, we have surviving myths that explain the origins of the aiser, of the jotuns, of the nine worlds (assuming you want to count the Niflheim and Muspelheim as having always existed pre-creation as some versions of the myths tend to), of humanity, of the universe, etc. The only major players of the myths who we don’t have a “canonical” explaination for the origins of are the vanir and Surt of Muspelheim, with everything else either being addressed as having basically always existed, or explained as coming into existence in some way, shape or form
Oh yes - this is one of Baldermort's other channels !! Welcome - This is living mythology run by Baldermort and Lightbringer (hi, I'm his daughter) Together we make stories about myths! I hope you stick around and enjoy the tales to come! - Lightbringer
@@livingmythology1405 Wait... Baldy has a daughter, and one old enough to do voice work with him? I am truly having to re-evaluate my entire universe right now...
Sorry you didn't like them! With the modern world of AI - We worry about falling behind and being forgotten - that the better graphics of others will push people away from our stories - so we tried something new ! - Lightbringer
I actually missed out on this one in my own scattered readings; how the Aseir and Vanir came to cohabitate or at least how odin had a Vanir wife. A shame about Mimir, but given everything? ... No still harsh, but I can comprehend the rational. They did at lest have hte decency to not kill the poor loveable idiot that knew nothing of what was going on. Apologies for being less talkative on your run of norse stories. It is not for lack of interest it is more 'What do I even say t othis' Norse is an entirely differing beast to the Greek pantheoverse. Often I find it harder to wrap my head around the cast and their stories. Still, as always, you and your father tell a wonderful tale and i am glad for the stories.
No worries my friend - just glad you still enjoy it - it is a very different style than the greek patheoverse as you put it haha Thank you for your continued support! - Lightbringer
Much like the Greeks the Norse pantheon will reflect Norse culture.. Arguably they are closer to concubines then actually wives but have been described as wives in some stories.. Most gods, specially god “kings” have flings with others.. They have to create all the lesser gods and many demigods or mythical heroes/champions while somebody holds the court together in Asgard..
I've never been a great fan of Odin, he is too much of a "the ends justify the means" guy, no matter how those means end up biting him in the rear. But this narration of yours has made me like him more.
Awww that's great to hear! it can be fun to see things from a new perspective or change your mind in a little way ! Thank you for watching and commenting! - Lightbringer
I know - it frustrates me too! We know for a fact they NEVER wore helmets with horns on - please forgive us but it is so tricky to find or make anything that looks good enough but without the horned helmets! They're just always there - it's incredibly frustrating! 😭 - Lightbringer
This whole war between the Aesir and the Vanir doesn’t make any sense to me. Frankly, the Vanir don’t have any claim to human worship because they didn’t create humanity. Odin and his brothers created the first humans, as such the Aesir are the only ones with any claim to their worship. So why were the Vanir so butthurt about it?
An attempt to gain a better video. We use it as we cannot afford real art. if we had more support or hits, we would. At the end of the day, this is light entertainment done by two people, not a team, not a company, not a huge channel. We do what we can and are attempting to make it a good watch as well as a good listen. Again, the second we have enough support, we will gain artists. but they are exceptionally expensive. We simply cannot take on the cost. We earn practically nothing as it is on this channel. Baldermort funds it from his larger channel. So, if you want it to continue and gain real art, then support us on patreon and share the videos. if you don't want to do that? Well, enjoy it for what it is. We cannot continue at a loss. So, something has to give. This is an act of desperation. Because if we don't get more support or hits? It will have to end.
@@livingmythology1405 I personally don't mind the use of AI art. It looks good to me! And getting actual art is indeed expensive. Just do whatever works for you guys.

Fantastic visuals. Talking Odin looks great 👍
If something happens in Norse mythology. Blame Loki!
I mean, is anything ever not his fault?
Loki is my dog she is an angel now. She's going to heaven with me...

Excellent ❤❤❤
Thank you my friend!

It took me a while to get to this video, but I love it just the same! Wonderful work. Using the AI faces to tell a story was an interesting touch
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and for commenting!

I’m liking this channel and I’m liking the content especially the AI. It’s very clean very crisp no misinterpretations no variances. Keep it up.
Love the artwork accompaniments, hate the talking faces. 🙂 Gets me right in the uncanny valley.
Live & learn from mistakes..
..with age comes wisdom.
This kinda sounds like a war with the elves and dwarves 👀

Wait, Odin has multiple wives?
No, Freya is Frigg

Of course. He's been advertising this channel for over 2 years now. :)
