Odin created man

When the world began to take shape, the ancestors of God began to consider creating a creature to live on the rich and fertile land.The three gods often walk between heaven and earth with this problem to see their achievements in creating heaven and earth.
One day, when OdinWillieWhen He Wei was walking on the beach, the waves washed two pieces of wood, one of which wasYgdrasil , one part isElm。After picking them up, the gods thought they could be used as the material for creating people, and began to carve them into two human shapes with knives.Due to the elaborate carving of the gods, the ash became a lifelike man, andElmIt's like a woman.After the trees were formed, the three gods only injected life into them.[1]
Odin first held the human form in his hand and gave them life and breath;Willie then gave them soul and wisdom;Finally, Wei gave them the feeling of body temperature and facial features.Human beings were born.According to their origin, the ancestors of God named men Ask (meaningYgdrasil ）, the woman was named Ebola (meaningElm）。
The gods let the ancestors of this pair of human beings live on the earth surrounded by the sea, so that they can get married and have children.Since Ask and Ebola, human beings have multiplied from generation to generation on the earth, and have been passed on to today.
While creating human beings and placing them on the earth, the ancestors of God also demarcated a dwelling place of God in the center of the whole universe as the Kingdom of God.The luminous elves, because of their beauty and gentleness, were able to live next to the gods and built an exquisite fairy country around the divine country.In the east of the land where human beings live, the gods set aside a place for giants to live.Giant Escaping from the FloodBergerMi lives in this place calledYodunheimThere are many frost giants in the country of giants.Because of their poor character, black dwarfsHolyPressure They have to live under the earth and must not be exposed to the light of the day, otherwise they will become stones or melt away.For this reason, the short dwarfs dug holes for nests under the soil or in the rocks, forming a country of black elves, orDwarf country。
Show your eyes to gain wisdom
Odin
Odin was not originally one eyed.The story of his blindness is as follows:
World Tree-YggdrasilThree oftaprootOne is that it extends to the "giant country", and under this root there is a mysterious spring containing all "wisdom", which is responsible for guardingThe fountain of wisdomIt is the giant Mimir.In order to bring "wisdom" into the world of the gods, Odin wanted to taste this spring.
One day, he rode alone on Slepleny, crossed the rainbow bridge across the void, and visited the fountain of wisdom that the gods did not dare to approach. This place was called Jotunheim.As soon as I arrived, I saw the dense shade of the trees with a faint shadow of people.Staring at it, I clearly saw that it was Mimier who sat seriously beside the fountain of wisdom.
Odin dismounted beside Mimir and asked him for a spring.Although Mimier knew who the man in front of him was, he still shook his head slowly and refused to give water.
'Before that, many people wanted a cup of spring water, but when they heard the price of a cup of spring water, they were too scared to want it.'
'I have known for a long time that I would like to give you all the gold in the "kingdom of gods", or my right hand!'
Mimier smiled and replied, 'These are not what I want, Odin!The price of the fountain of wisdom is your sharp right eye! '
So, for the sake of the fountain of wisdom, Odin finally lost one eye forever and gained the wisdom of Runes.
Odin said to himself, "Nine nights I was hanging on a windy tree and was stabbed by a spear; I was sacrificed to myself as Odin's sacrifice, on a big tree that nobody knew! There was no bread to satisfy my hunger, no water to quench my thirst. I looked down, picked up Lunas characters, shouted while picking them up, and fell from the tree."
Because Odin suffered from hanging upside downHangingstayNorthern EuropeHuman law is very severe.stayTarotOne of them is called "upside down male", which is the symbol.In the West prisoners arehanging, called horseback riding, that is, Odin was hung upside down from the tree, soWorld TreeYggdrasil means "Odin's horse".
Odin discovered the mysterious "Lune" writing and obtained Lunas'secret, byNolanThree Goddesses of（Three Goddesses of DestinyNorns) engraved Odin's destiny written in this language onHuang JinbaoOn the shield.He also took the risk to obtain the Shixian honey wine from the giant Suttung (it needs to be pointed out here that Odin used various means, including fraud and trickery), and anyone who tasted it could become a poet.He gave these two treasures to human beings (Chapter 7 of the Nordic Mythology abc said that it was left to Borachi Bragi, the son of Odin);He is a benefactor of mankind in all respects.
Although in“Ragnarok~Gotterdammerung "- Day of Doom（Ragnarok）In China, Odin will be doomed to perish with the universe. He still chooses to fight against the fate!He dominated the war in the "atrium" where human beings lived, and ordered the maidsValkyrie（Walkiri）Bring the dead back to Val halla（Valhalla-Hall of the Spirit), and these heroes will fight side by side with the gods in the disaster of "the dusk of the gods".
Ve and Vili areScandinaviaThe ancient gods of human (Scandinavian), both of them and Odin Bolsen were born by Bor (the name is the meaning of birth) and Bestla, the daughter of giants.In the creation myth of northern Europe, the three brothers defeatedGiants, Kill Taichu GiantYmir, jointly built the world and created the human race.The three of them are said to be similar in appearance, so one said that Odin, Ve and Vili are trinity, which may be a comparison made by Christian missionaries to explain the doctrine.
Poetic description
In some poems, Odin's self exile into the world was described. As a result, Vili and Ve ruled the "kingdom of gods"——Yasgett, and shared Frigga until Odin came back.The story goes like this:
Once, his wifeFrika(Frigga) stole a piece of gold from Odin's gold statue, and broke the statue so that it could not tell who the thief was (Odin used the Lunas spell on the mouth of the statue to make it speak).This move angered Odin.As a result, Odin left the "kingdom of gods" and wandered on the ground.During his absence, his brothers Vili and Ve replaced Odin.Since Vili and Ve look like Odin, Frigga doesn't know, but they don't have Odin's magic power, so the frost giants blocked the land with ice and destroyed all creatures.Fortunately, seven months later, Odin came back, and the two usurpers also ran away secretly. The frost giant dared not do evil again, and the world was full of vitality again.This is also the Nordic's explanation of why the cold winter will come. The Nordic's May Festival (on May 1st) is to celebrate Odin's return.
