The Impudent Edda states that when Thor went to get his driver’s license renewed, he encountered a draugr, which is basically a Norse zombie. It was a very frustrating day for the thunder god. https://t.co/qZj99tWBvN
The Impudent Edda states that when the Vanir slayed Mimir and sent his head to Asgard, Odin proclaimed, ”Sweet, I love decapitated heads!” and proceeded to have deep, meaningful conversations with it, but only after first gouging his own eye out. https://t.co/oo7SPgtW6U
Freyja’s visit to the dwarves has been depicted by many artists over the years. These examples by Greg Hildebrandt and Charles Brock could cause one to think that she was visiting in an epic Tolkien sort of way, or in sweet, innocent Disney-esque fashion. #FairyTaleTuesday
The Impudent Edda states that when Fenrir was still just a young wolf-pup, he would intentionally make a mess on the floor to spite Odin, and Tyr would always have to be the one who cleaned it up because he still had two hands in those days. https://t.co/oo7SPgtW6U #Tyr #Tuesday
The norns let the good times roll (since they appear to be in a loving rather than wicked mood as they weave this newborn’s fate) while a sjódreygil—sea ghost—howls and screams and dances in the flames with the seals. All in all, a memorable party for everyone. #MythologyMonday
@MaeneSigne Picking up where The Poetic Edda and The Prose Edda left off, The Impudent Edda brings the world’s foremost epic fantasy trilogy to its inevitable and fateful conclusion: in an alleyway behind a dive bar in Boston. #Norse #Mythology

The Impudent Edda states that while ”Freyja’s chariot is pulled by two felines, no one knows exactly how many cats she keeps in total at her home in Fólkvangr because none of the gods have ever been brave enough to raise the question.” #FolkloreThursday https://t.co/oo7SPgtW6U
Dísir play a deity-like role associated with fate and perhaps protection in the Norse world. Swedish band @Fejdofficial have commemorated them in a great ballad, describing how they float among the mist, so shimmering and cold. #FairyTaleTuesday https://t.co/CuTf0VFbIc
Grayson Del Faro is a kindred spirit and his Icelandic Saga Recaps at @rvkgrapevine are a lot of fun. This bit about Helgi Hundingsbana for example: ”Sigrún the valkyrie asks why Helgi’s so nasty and he says that every tear she’s cried has fallen onto him” https://t.co/hQzm70P8iJ
Snorri Sturluson was prone to dreaming up traitorous schemes from the comfort of his own private hot-spring hot tub until one day when his enemies gathered at his house and killed him while he grovelled in the basement. #NorseMythologyForBostonians https://t.co/knKhZmFiIM
