Crossing the Water - Old Norse Afterlife

In Norse Mythology, Old Norse literature and Folk traditions there is this recurring theme of having to cross water to reach the afterlife - or the Otherworld. So let's set sail and explore several cases. Embark with me on this journey. Hope you enjoy it, my dear friends!

Credits:
Song at the beginning composed and played by Arith Härger (me, of course lol). The same electric guitar was used to compose different melodies, played separately and then merged together. The entire sound was recorded in my usual studio (the bathroom - it produces a cool reverb) so the images are not in the actual place of recording. The nature footage was recorded by myself during september 2020.

Many ask who makes myThumbnails for my videos: well, that would be me. I run this show 100%.
