Voluspa Part 1 - The Creation of the World from the Poetic Edda - Northern Myths Podcast 1
This is the Northern Myths Podcast, an archetypal exploration of the myths and legends of Northern Europe, including Norse mythology, the Finnish Kalevala, and more. If you'd like to support the show you can support us on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/northernmyths
In our first episode, we are starting our exploration of the Poetic Edda beginning with the first poem, the Voluspa. In this episode we will cover the creation of the world, the advent of culture, the descent into history, the creation of humans, and the first battle in the world.
The Poetic Edda is the primary original source for the myths and legends of Norse Mythology. The Poetic Edda includes everything from the creation of the world to its destruction in Ragnarok, from the adventures of Thor to the wisdom of Odin. We are exploring these timeless stories to learn how the Norse people understood the world, and how we can apply their worldview to life today.
If you'd like to follow along with our reading of the Poetic Edda you can pick up the great translation of the Poetic Edda we're reading by Jackson Crawford, you can purchase it here: https://amzn.to/2MSwVTO
It is also available as an audiobook which we highly recommend. Dr. Crawford has a great voice for it, and actually pronounces everything properly. It's a must have if you like our show! Available here: https://amzn.to/2urMknb
