Topic: Aesir


In the News (Fri 21 Nov 08)

  
  Aesir
Aesir (Æsir in Old Norse) were one race of gods that resided in Asgard.
Snorri wrote that the Aesir had come from Asia, and he compared the Ragnarok with the Fall of Troy, so Snorri is saying that Asgard, home of the gods, was also called Troy.
Aegir was the father of the nine daughters, known as the Nine Waves (nine giantesses).

  Aesir
His sister and wife, Freyia, who holds a high place among the Aesir, is the goddess of love; but her influence, unlike her husband’s is not always beneficent, and varies with the form which she assumes is operating on the minds of men.
Hiemdal, whose attribute is the rainbow, is the god of watchfulness, the doorkeeper of the Aesir; while Vidar, the strongest of the gods after Thor, is the impersonation of silence and caution; Ull decides the issue of single combats, and Forsetti settles all quarrels.
From this brief outline it may be seen that in their Aesir the Northmen recognized the creators, sustainers, and regulators of the world as it vow is, from whom emanated the thought and life that pervade and animate all nature, and the efforts to subject it to the spiritual will.

 History and Origins of the Swedes and Sweden
The Aesir people dominated the area around the Sea of Azov for nearly 1000 years, though the surrounding areas to the north and east were known as the lands of the Scythians.
The Aesir warrior gods, and the religious deities of Odin and Thor, were an integral part of the warlike nature of the Vikings, even leading them back down the waterways of Europe to their tribal origins along the Black Sea and Asia Minor.
Aesir became the Old Norse word for the divine (also, the Old Teutonic word "Ase" was a common word for "god"), and "Asmegir" was the Icelandic term for "god maker"—a human soul on its way to becoming divine in the course of evolution.

 Aesir   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Asgard, a far-northern mountainous nation which is permanently glaciated, is home to the blond-haired, blue-eyed Aesir, a virile and rough hewn race of hunters and axe-wielding warriors who fight by day and carouse by night.
Aesir rarely burn a village they plunder, preferring to leave their targets fairly intact to allow the survivors to rebuild and provide another lucrative target in the future.
If a woman is unfaithful to her Aesir husband, she is most often killed by a ritual called "the Wheel of Axes", where all who disbelieve her hurl axes at her bound body.

Aesir is the last goddess Gothar created, the youngest of the nine gods.
It is not uncommon that the temple of Aesir launches military operations, which gives this cult a major role in the political life of the kingdoms.
The day when Gothar took a part of his most faithful child to create the mother of demons is regarded by the religious authority of the cult as the day when the goddess lost the part of rebellion and evil inside her, which allowed her to follow her true path.

 Encyclopedic Theosophical Glossary: Adi-Ag, Theosophical University Press
In the Eddas the aesir are in perpetual opposition to the jotunn (giants; Icelandic jotnar), as energy is opposed to inertia.
The aesir are not the highest gods, even though cosmic Odin in his capacity of Allfather is the father of gods and men by virtue of being descended from a previous era of evolution.
The aesir were ousted from Asgard by the vaner, superior gods who remain in their high realms while the aesir dwell in living spheres.

 Wikinfo | Aesir   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Aesir (singular áss) are the principal pantheon of gods in Norse mythology.
According to another theory, the cult of the Vanir (who are mainly connected with fertility and relatively peaceful) may be of an older date, and that of the more warlike Aesir of later origin, so the mythical war may perhaps mirror a religious conflict.
On the other hand, only Odin and Thor were important in both myth and cult; an áss like Ull is almost unknown in the myths, but his name is seen in a lot of geographical names, especially in Sweden, so his cult was probably quite wide-spread.

 The faery faith of the northern tradition
The Aesir and Vanir, after a long war, formed an alliance and later intermarried, just as their human followers did in the lands they invaded.
There is a sense of the myths of the Aesir and Vanir overlapping and obscuring each other.
The faery tradition and manifestation of the elemental forces are largely and unjustifiably neglected in the Northern Tradition, but for those who do work with them they bring an enhanced understanding of the workings of northern magic.

Certain Chaosian legends claim that House Aesir is descended from a cow that licked the giant Ymir out of the primal ice.
She took on the identity of Gabrielle the Blue and was raised to become a Valkyrie (or as Motoko put it, 'a warrior hussy').
House Aesir has suffered greviously from the Logruswrack due to Ymir's clever 'let's put the house in fast-time' plan, which meant that an abnormally large percentage of the house dropped dead of old age when their Logrus-bestowed immortality failed.
