Thor's Voyage to Jotunheim - Norse Mythology

12/21/2020 20 min 31 sec

Thor decides to journey to Utgard to battle the giants and takes Loki along as his companion. At evening they ask for food and shelter in a poor farmhouse. The peasants have no meat so Thor kills the goats that pull his chariot to be cooked for dinner. Thor tells everyone to be careful with the bones and throw them on the goat skins. The farmer's son is so hungry that he breaks a bone to suck the marrow from it. In the morning Thor uses Mjollnir to restore the goats and discovers that one is now lame. As payment for the misdeed Thor takes the two peasant children as his servants. When the foursome lands in Utgard they walk for a whole.

Life in Valhalla - Norse Mythology

from Old Norse Valhöll "hall of the slain")[2] is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead warriors join the masses of those who have died in combat (known as the Einherjar) and various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. Various creatures live around Valhalla, such as the stag Eikþyrnir and the goat Heiðrún, both described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Læraðr.
