Excellent- More about Echo of Odin: Norse Mythology and Human Consciousness
The pagan mythology of the Vikings presents a map of human consciousness, exploring the nine worlds as symbols of different perspectives and ways of relating to others. The individual gods and goddesses are nuanced personifications of their worlds, and the parameters of space, time, and awareness are revealed through Yggdrasil, the Norns, and the runes. The core philosophy is explored through comparing and contrasting the Sayings of Odin with the Christian Ten Commandments.

The rich metaphor of consciousness found in Viking pagan mythology is truly captivating. For the first time, the cosmography contained within Norse mythology is presented as a map of human consciousness, a landscape of the soul. Each of the nine worlds that make up this cosmography is explored as a symbol of a specific type of consciousness, each world emblematic of a particular perspective and way of relating to others. Furthermore, the individual gods and goddesses of the warrior and fertility races are considered nuanced personifications of their respective worlds.
The parameters of Norse mythology, such as space, time, and awareness, are unveiled through the awe-inspiring Yggdrasil (the World Tree connecting the nine worlds), the mysterious Norns (maidens representing past, present, and future), and the enigmatic runes (magical symbols communicating the mysteries). Within this intricate matrix of extension, duration, and mindfulness, the central theme of the struggle between the giants, as agents of chaos, and the warrior gods takes center stage.
To further clarify the philosophical core of this pagan mythology, a comparison and contrast between the Sayings of Odin from the Norse Edda and the Christian Ten Commandments that confronted the Vikings is presented. This exploration provides valuable insights into the beliefs and values of the Viking culture and sheds light on the profound insights into the psychology of consciousness and Norse mythology that are available to anyone interested in these subjects.
