>>26694556>>26694564"norse" (north germanic) is a small part of the germanic theology
you know that guy tolkien? or lewis even? william blake?
they tried to popularise the anglo-saxon/anglo/english take.
oden and woden, thonar and dunar, you need to go into linguistics more
saying "norse mythology" is like saying insular celtic or west slavic. get it now?
do I have to list differences between those?
the race of "evil elves" the orcs (or orcneas) was in general derived from that, where they were listed as other race aside ettins (germanic "giants") and (positive) elves
obviously it all was later hijacked by more generic fantasy
