This section will hold two types of tales:
- Retellings of existing myths with a new twist or understanding
- New myths that use existing knowledge of our cosmology mixed with a dash of UPG and a pinch of creative license
Retellings will probably be very familiar to the average reader. I will embellish a bit, fill in a few details, maybe give it a modern feel in attempts to breath new life, and possibly new understandings, of these beautiful stories. Not everyone will like my take on these, and honestly that is their prerogative. If I am rewriting familiar tales there is probably a darn good reason so take that as you will.
New myths are just like they sound. These will be stories and tales that are based in regular experiences which lead to filling in missing details within our lore. Sometimes I will be able to link it up to existing material. Other times it is going to be way out in left field so just jump on the hay wagon and enjoy the ride.
Be forewarned that not all stories under this section will be of Scandinavian/Nordic origin. You may see some names that are quite different than what you have seen in the Poetic and Prose Eddas. Regardless of which type, or pantheon, shows up here, all of them are inspired by an interaction I have had with a God/Goddess/Spirit/Ancestor/etc. I agreed to share their story and did my best to bring it life the way they showed it to me. Hopefully you as the reader will gain something from my efforts, or at least be taken away for a few minutes of well earned delight. And I promise you all the feels whenever I can bear to put them to page.
Happy reading!
