Hoenir, one of Óðinn's brothers, is a mysterious god, to say the least. There are only a handful of stories with him. One where he is a travel companion to Loki and Óðinn, one where he aided in the creation of Man, one where he is part of the truce that ended the first Æsir-Vanir war, and one where he helps rebuild from the ashes of Ragnarokr. In some stories he is very handsome, yet very dull. In others, he gifts humanity inspiration. In others yet, he deals with great magick. • • • #norse #norsemyth #norsemythology #mythology #myth #viking #vikings #heathen #nordic #asatru #pagan #hoenir #galdr #seidr #ragnarok #æsir #vanir #berserker #shaman #jotun #warrior #paganism #paganofinstagram #heathenofinstagram #vikingofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CKPkWi9Lk-Y/?igshid=cqkf80l7sneb

Many know of the story of Baldr's death where Loki tricked Hoðr into slaying his brother. But, did you know that there is another account of Baldr's death? This story was taken by Saxo Grammaticus in the 1100's in his accounts titled, "Gesta Danorum" or, "Deeds of the Danes." Taking place in about 240 AD, Baldr and Hoðr are rival suitors for the daughter of Gewar, King of Norway, Nanna. In this story, King Hoðr and the demigod Baldr are at war and fighting for the hand of Nanna. They've met on the battlefield, and then in single-combat, but Baldr fails. Hoðr wins Nanna's hand, but Baldr doesn't accept this. Hoðr had a sword given to him by the valkyries, named Mistletoe, fated to be the demigod's demise. Baldr returns and challenges Hoðr, and meets his predestined end. • The illustration is "The Death of Balder" by Johannes Edwald • • • #norse #norsemyth #norsemythology #mythology #myth #viking #hodr #heathen #nordic #asatru #pagan #galdr #seidr #ragnarok #æsir #vanir #berserker #baldr #nanna #warrior #paganism #heathenofinstagram #vikingofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CIXkRXlnt4H/?igshid=1jccnxgqlplkj

This bindrune has two main levels; one is the literal, physical flexibility and strength. And the other is the internal flexibility and strength. I hope it helps you where you need it c: • • • #norse #norsemyth #norsemythology #mythology #myth #viking #vikings #heathen #nordic #asatru #pagan #galdr #seidr #ragnarok #æsir #vanir #berserker #shaman #jotun #warrior #paganism #paganofinstagram #heathenofinstagram #vikingofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cMwxeniR-/?igshid=13ocvn27pfxhs

The Web of Wyrd is a curious thing. How our fate is tangled with others is not for us to know.

Sometimes the gods can feel distant. This could be for many reasons; maybe they're busy, maybe they're testing your strength, maybe we've disappointed them. But, no matter their reasoning, make sure to always honor them, as they protect us. They are our gods, and we will treat them as such • • • #norse #norsemyth #norsemythology #mythology #myth #viking #vikings #heathen #nordic #asatru #pagan #galdr #seidr #ragnarok #æsir #vanir #berserker #shaman #jotun #warrior #paganism #paganofinstagram #heathenofinstagram #vikingofinstagram #gods https://www.instagram.com/p/B6TkUt-nOWG/?igshid=1mo5k0zuybpd5

There was once a time, long ago, when the gods walked along us.

Several people have asked if I have an altar and what it looks like, so here it is c: My left side has a skull, an hour glass, a conch shell, and a statuette of Hel. This side is dedicated to death and Memento Mori. My right side has tools of battle and honor and a statuette of Týr. This side is dedicated to honor and war. The center has a kalimba and a sack of runes, dedicated to Óðinn. Each altar is personal, and these are the things important to me c: Lemme know what your guys' altars look like! c: • • • #norse #norsemyth #norsemythology #mythology #myth #viking #vikings #heathen #nordic #asatru #pagan #galdr #ragnarok #æsir #vanir #odin #thor #tyr #freya #freyr #loki #fenrir #berserker #shaman #jotun #warrior #paganism #paganofinstagram #heathenofinstagram #vikingofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B5QgFmYHJuB/?igshid=5b0h99n9toam
