Norse Mythology and the Modern Human Being

The Myths from the old Norse hold fantastic pictures in which modern folk can find deep meaning and solutions to life’s riddles! These stories have a kind of magic not to be found in any other group of tales. For children and adults alike the gods of the Aesir and the Giants and the demons are fascinating to follow with whom all can rejoice and despair as the inevitable development of the human race proceeds. The nine worlds of Asgard, the tree, Yggdrasil, the Midgard Serpent, Odin, Thor, Sif, and especially Loki, the relentless trickster, delight and instruct with subtle power.

It will provide insight for teachers, parents, and other adults who hope to answer some of the life questions of today.
