In Norse mythology, neither of the sea gods were of the Æsir (the main pantheon). Njord was one of the Vaneir, and embodied the sea's helpful aspects (sailing, fishing, etc.). Ægir was one of the Jotnar, and embodied the sea's dangerous aspects (storms, tsunamis, etc.). #MythologyMonday #Folklore #Mythology #Norse #Vikings #Scandinavia

In Norse mythology, the mountain giantess Skadi married the sea god Njord, as he had lovely legs. But Skadi found that she hated the beach since she couldn't ski and gulls squawked all day, and Njord hated the cold mountains since he couldn't swim and wolves howled all night. 🎨 Laura Daligan #FairyTaleTuesday #Folklore #Mythology #Norse #Vikings #Scandinavia

The Yule Cat is a huge cat in Icelandic folklore that eats people who did not receive new clothes at Christmas. The cat incentivized farmworkers to finish processing the wool they had collected before Christmas, since they received clothing as a reward. 🎨 Iren Horrors #FairyTaleTuesday #Folklore #Mythology #Norse #Iceland #Monster #Yule #Christmas #IrenHorrors
