Introducing The World Of Norse Goddesses

The Nine Worlds In Norse Mythology
As I begin my research blog on Norse goddesses, I look forward to increasing my knowledge regarding this era of mythology and their use of goddesses. If you have ever been curious about Norse goddesses, or goddesses in general, it is my hope that you will enjoy reading my blog and lose yourself in the magical world that is Norse Mythology.

I chose the topic of Norse goddesses for two reasons. The first reason was because they have so many different goddesses for me to chose from, I knew I would be able to have a fun, creative and informative blog. The second reason I went specifically with goddesses and not animals or gods is because as a woman I have a curiosity about goddesses and maybe even an inner desire to be like one!

The history of Norse Mythology goes back to myths and legends by people who were from the northernmost part of Europe, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland. It includes many features of the mythology of pre-Christian Germanic groups especially during the Viking era.

All Norse goddesses tend to have characteristics that are larger-than-life. I will blog about several different Norse goddesses describing their appearance, temperament, and function of the deity, as well as touch on the storyline in which the goddess appears.
