Résumé
Discover the ancient wisdom of the Norns-the powerful weavers of fate in Norse mythology-through the eyes of a Danish author who grew up with these timeless stories. At the roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, sit three mysterious sisters who shape the destiny of gods and humans alike. Urd (What Was), Verdandi (What Is), and Skuld (What Shall Be) weave the threads of fate that bind all existence. But who are these enigmatic figures, and what can their stories teach us today?In Norns: Weavers of Fate in Nordic Mythology, Danish author Julie Golston brings authentic cultural insight to these captivating myths.
Drawing from both the Prose Edda and Poetic Edda, as well as scholarly sources and Scandinavian folklore, this book weaves together rich storytelling with deep cultural context. Experience the Norns through vivid retellings, from their daily ritual of watering Yggdrasil to their encounters with Odin, Thor, and even the trickster Loki. Each chapter includes "A Deeper Weave" sections that explore the historical, linguistic, and philosophical meanings behind the myths, while maintaining the narrative magic that has kept these stories alive for over a thousand years.
From Erik the warrior seeking to change his prophesied death, to the gods themselves grappling with Ragnarök, these stories reveal profound truths about accepting fate while maintaining agency, finding meaning in mortality, and understanding our place in the greater tapestry of existence. Written by a Danish native who grew up surrounded by runestones and Viking heritage sites, this book offers an authentic perspective often missing from Norse mythology retellings.
Perfect for mythology enthusiasts, students of Nordic culture, and anyone drawn to the wisdom of ancient stories. Begin your journey to the Well of Urd, where past, present, and future converge, and discover what the Norns have been weaving for you.
