What Norse Mythology Reveals About Human Nature

Norse mythology is often treated as primitive fantasy, but the old myths were never merely stories about gods and monsters.

They were observations about human nature.

In this video we explore several deeper ideas found in the Norse mythological worldview: the tension between order and chaos, why wisdom requires sacrifice, and what the story of Tyr and the binding of Fenrir tells us about responsibility.

We also look at the symbolism of Odin sacrificing his eye at Mimir's Well and what that myth reveals about the difference between information and wisdom in the modern world.

Norse mythology may be ancient, but the truths it points to are timeless.
