Raid 13: Norse Mythology – Creating the Cosmos
The Norse imagined the creation of the cosmos as a story of ice and fire—but it’s really nothing like the more well-known Song of Ice and Fire that people prefer to talk about now. Well, perhaps they used to until a certain show ended on a less-than-popular note. But I digress. In this raid, we’re delving a little deeper into the Norse story of creation. We’ll be forced to reckon the universe’s first genealogy, during which we’ll have to face the fact that Odin was born of mixed races and turned against his own kin. Pretty brutal. But guess what? One savage slay gave us the whole world. I guess it was worth it, then? Oof.
