Norse Creation Myth - Told by Ginnungagap and Auðumbla This video tells the very beginning of the Norse creation myth, from the vast nothing of Ginnungagap to the first gods. Told by the first beings in creation and the void itself, this tale delves into the first realms, and first beings in creation according to the old Norse myths. Living Mythology is an attempt to entertain, relax and educate all in the one place. We are trying to forge narratives so that people can experience the religions and mythologies of the world as they were meant to be. Not as dry academic monoliths, but as living breathing tales and parables as experienced by the peoples who worshipped these beings, in an attempt to make sense of their own lives and the world around them. This channel is in its infancy, so we hope to improve and develop it as we gain more experience. All of the tales are taken from very conflicting traditions across many centuries, so there will be many a moment when decisions need to be made to create a more cohesive narrative. If we present something that seems to be in contrast to details, rest assured we have researched many forms of the traditions and come to the conclusions we have done to form the videos. There will NEVER be total agreement on any of these narratives due to the history and differing ways they developed over the centuries. These videos are for entertainment and an easy gateway to the subject. If you wish more academic details then please direct your attention to the wide source material and others who perform those types of academic video essays.

And now this is where this channel will truly shine. Showcasing via the same storytellers through the same lense and the same voice (physical as well as literary) the differing myths of differing cultures. As always. Lightbringer, Baldermort. I thank you. Edit: it will also be interesting to see how you tackle a mythology where we only have one partial written account rather than literally thousands of years of known derivitives, variance, and morphing of a pantheon. It will be quite the interesting thing to see how this goes.

Oh thank you my friend - I’ve been reading the works and researching hard to get it right So your words mean a lot Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you enjoy the tales to come! - Lightbringer
Thank you so much for your kind words and your support my friend! We are so happy to hear you enjoy our interpretations on the fascinating tales of mythology! - Lightbringer
In the beginning of the game Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Valka narrates the story of Ginnungagap and the way that she describes it makes it sound like it's the Norse version of what we now call the Big Bang. I've watched your videos on the Norse and I like what I see. It's good to learn about other cultures and how they as a people and their spiritual beliefs interpret the world around them. Will you me making more videos on other cultures and faiths like the Egyptians, Chinese, the many Native Americans tribes, Indians, Inca, Maya, Aztec, Zulu, Celtic, Roman and others?
Oh yes we intend to cover a lot! But still come back to the ones we’ve started of course! Plenty of Greek mythology stories to be told still! - Lightbringer
Damn, I did not expect the shift in tone from Greek mythology to Norse mythology to feel so..... cold and dark. I was astounded by the difference. But the change was so well done. I also didn't expect Norse mythology to seem so..... strange. But I must thank you for putting out such excellent work. I am already so invested, I didn't realize the video was ending until it was over. Lady Lightbringer, Sir Baldermort, you have once again delivered top quality content, and I am hungry for more. Happy holidays to you both 😎 Zachariah
Oh thank you Zachariah! It’s wonderful to know you’ve achieved the mood you set out to create! I’m excited for the next videos and to see what your thoughts are! Thank you again for your continued support And Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones too - Lightbringer
It warms my heart to see how well this episode is being received. Congratulations Lightbringer and Balders. It's great to see all your hard work being recognised. 👏❤️👏
Thank you so so much! It’s warming our hearts to know we’ve done a good job! It’s been wonderful to delve deep into the myths and stories - we research a lot before ever writing a thing so it’s great to see people appreciate it :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting! - Lightbringer
WOOOOW. That was entrancing. Great job. I was expecting Egyptian Mythology for the next chapter of this channel but Norse is good, there are a bunch of cool stories here too.
We will get to Egyptian too. The idea is to start a subject, then incorporate into an overflowing channel. So Greek videos will still come up soon. We just want to spread out a bit more. :)
I'm new to this channel and am gutted I didn't come to it sooner absolutely loveing it you are definitely a chip off the old block and have all of the talent you're dad has which in this case is the best compliment I could give anyone love the both of you 😁👍🤘
A good story told very well. With a heart of art burning brightly at the core and in the minds of the tellers. Pure wonder is woven and I am in utter delight
I have love. For the Greek godge and I was completely enthraland In rapture while listening to you guys weave the story threds Together But when you two began the norse There was Ten fold The emotions And as you continue your work. I completely humbly thank you. For when most of the time that I am working I am listening. Although I do wish very much so that I could monetarily. Give the help you guys with the channels. And 1 day might be able to. I wish I could upload pictures of some of the stuff I have created while listening to you guys so you can see it. Because I truly feel that while I am listening to you. And I am creating either a functional. Piece of furniture like the headboard for my daughter. Or just strictly a piece of art for the sake of letting out the burning desire. That comes withat cliche. Because we all are cliche I suppose. I feel that it's also a collaboration. Because the energy that i'm getting from the stories you tell are going into the art
Thanks again for another epic video. It's the perfect way to start a rough week! The work and love you put into your videos shows every time! Much love Lightbringer and Baldy!
Only have I recently found your channel, to my unfortune, but I have finished the Greek Saga, and now Into the world of the Norse. The quality of your voiceover's are astounding, of very high quality that is to say. I am a big History Nerd. I absolutely love the Mythos behind the different cultures of our world, past and present. Your work is amazing. I hope to see this channel grow more, and continue making such high quality content. It is hard to find anything Mythological that puts you (us) this much *into* the story, as apposed to just *retelling* it, as most channels do. Great work. And that is light.
Thank you so much ! We are big mythology nerds too - it’s so fascinating and cool to see all different cultures ! Past, present and future - we hope to explore further and further! And thank you again for your compliment of our quality - we work hard and try to make something a little bit special It’s so wonderful to hear you like the style too! Because there are amazing channels on UA-cam that go through all the myths and variations / I love looking at the primary ancient Greek writers and all the different versions of a particular myth - but we chose to do something a little different It is fun to imagine them, the gods - all their thoughts and motivations - and bring it back to life almost - make it feel like real people - it’s just great to know other people like it too Thank you for joining our journey - I hope we make it across the whole globe of mythos!
I swear to the gods I've been waiting for this.i know you're just starting but I'm already on the verge of a religious experience this channel truly is the best mythological chanel out there.
Thank you for watching again my friend! I hope it met your expectations! Plenty more to come! As always, we send our greetings back to you and yours at Kilkenny! - Lightbringer
They will get longer as we get into more meaty subject matter. Greeks also started pretty briefly. Give us time. We;ll provide the bigger epic pieces in due course. :)
@@livingmythology1405 you both put a lot of heart into it and it shows. You make the lore come to life ☺️ And with your positivity, you make my world a little brighter 🖖
Isn't it amazing that Norse cosmogonic myth of Ginnungagap and Audhumla was confirmed centuries later by astrophysical science? Ginnungagap= Singularity, Hvergelmir = impulse that led to critical mass overload, and then Big Boom. Audhumla and Ymir are related to early conditions and transformations of hot Universe (quark gluonic plasma, etc.) which formed the cosmos we live in. A question arises: where all that knowledge was taken from?
All boy, oh boy. I can't wait for this comment before I start. This is got me thinking too I can't wait until you guys get around to doing the Morgan. And the ta'dadanen Forgive the spelling but no matter how many times I try to say it. All kinds of gibberish got put on the tape shut.

I love this story. I also believe these are all metaphors for the fact Ymir and Amluda *spelling* had sex and formed all the Jotun. But that's just me. A lot of the stuff is metaphorical. But if you notice how the universe was formed in the void, the way he described it was exactly how planets and stuff were made. Fire,gas,ice and cold ECT. Such intelligences. I love it. Praise the Gods.
What an interesting interpretation ! I love it - and yes it is fascinating how accurate to the creation of the universe a lot of the ancient myths are ! Fires and gas, cold and materials being formed - so close to the actual formation of planets - our ancestors were just as smart as we are, we just have all their trial and error, and their research to form our ideas on! - Lightbringer
NO, not over. We will do more in the future. But we intend to add more mythologies, do a run, then add them to the background schedule. It'll be ok. We have so much more to do on them.

Give the help you guys with the channels.

Awesome. Please make it download offline. I kinda watch it offline when I'm home from work. It relaxes me. Thank you for an awesome channel
UA-cam premium allows you to download it. We have to gain some form of revenue, so utterly free is a bit of an ask.
I'm so hyped for this chapter of mythology!
We are too! It’s fascinating stuff!

oooooh we got norse :) maybe next year we will get celtic as well!
I love this story. I also believe these are all metaphors for the fact Ymir and Amluda *spelling* had sex and formed all the Jotun. But that's just me. A lot of the stuff is metaphorical. But if you notice how the universe was formed in the void, the way he described it was exactly how planets and stuff were made. Fire,gas,ice and cold ECT. Such intelligences. I love it. Praise the Gods.
What an interesting interpretation ! I love it - and yes it is fascinating how accurate to the creation of the universe a lot of the ancient myths are ! Fires and gas, cold and materials being formed - so close to the actual formation of planets - our ancestors were just as smart as we are, we just have all their trial and error, and their research to form our ideas on!
