	Poetic Edda
		It was Snorri who coined the term "Edda".
		While some of the poems predate Snorri, the compilation itself and the commentaries written as introductions to the poetry, are much later than Snorri.
		It is presumed to have been intended as a handbook for novice poets who wished to become skalds, creators of the sophisticated poetry recited in court.

		Snorri Sturluson's Edda depicts Odin as welcoming into his hall, Valhalla, the courageous battle-slain.
		Some scholars believe that Snorri Sturlusson's version of Norse mythology is an attempt to shoehorn a somewhat more shamanistic tradition into a Greek mythological cast, although this view does a considerable disservice to Sturlusson's efforts to maintain in permanent form what was essentially an oral tradition.
		Sturlusson's writing (particularly in Heimskringla) tries to maintain an essentially scholastic neutrality, even though he was writing in what had by that time become an essentially Christian society.

	Snorri Sturluson
		As an historian and mythographer, Snorri is remarkable for proposing the theory (in the Prose Edda) that mythological gods begin as human war leaders and kings whose funereal sites develop cults.
		Snorri became involved in an unsuccessful rebellion against King Hákon Hákonarson, the King of Norway, and was subsequently killed at Reykholt (Borgarfjörður) where he had been living most of the time.
		A statue of Snorri Sturluson by Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland was erected at Reykholt in 1947.

	LMF: Freyja: the goddess with the gib cats
		When Snorri first introduced Freyja into his account of Asgard he declared that she was the most renowned of the goddesses, and that she alone of the gods yet lived.
		Snorri puts the matter differently: he tells us that brother and sister marriages were customary among the Vanir, and that Freyr and Freyja were the children of Njord and his unnamed sister (possibly Nerthus).
		Snorri says that she searches for her lost husband Od, but gives no details.

		The Ynglinga saga is the first part of Snorri's history of the ancient Norse kings, the Heimskringla.
		After establishing themselves first in Angeln or "Angelen" in Schleswig-Holstein, the Ynglings move to Fyn and Odense in Denmark, and finally to Svitjod where they settle at a place called Sithun (assumed to equal Sigtuna in Sweden or the Sitones who lived in Sweden according to Tacitus).
		Though scholars and historians continue to debate the historical accuracy of Snorri's traditional tales, the "Heimskringla" as a whole is still considered an important original source for information on the Viking Age.

	Echoed Voices: December 2002 Asatru (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It was not until the twelfth century that Snorri Sturlusson wrote the additions in which Frigga extracted oaths from all she could find and that Loki was made into the scapegoat for all that went wrong in Asgard.
		In Snorri's Prose Edda, Baldur's death is followed with a detailed telling of his descent to Hel's realm of Niflheimr and Odin's whispering messages in his dead son's ear so that he would rise again after the fall of the rest of the gods, offering a "second coming" of the Baldur the Good.
		Many Asatruar claim that Snorri was himself a godhi, and "preserved" the myths of the gods by disguising them as old stories about a King Odin, rather than a god by the same name so as to escape possible persecution.

	wulfhirth
		In the Prose Edda, Snorri Sturlusson gives a complete description of creation that combines a number of older sources, which are not always consistent with each other.
		The major Eddic poems used by Snorri are the Vafþrúðnismál and Grímnismál (the lays of Vafþrúðnir and Grímnir), which more or less duplicate each other, and the Voluspá (Prophecy of the Seeress); but he also derives some details from sources lost to us and adds some deductions of his own.
		Quoting the Voluspá (st. 3), Snorri stresses that at the beginning of time there was nothing but a great void called Ginnungagap, a void filled with powerful magic forces (the term ginnung is related to Old Norse ginnregin, "the supreme gods", and runic ginArunAR, "runes endowed with magic power").

		The bulk of our information comes, however, from texts of the Viking age that were preserved in later manuscripts and from the maintenance of the Germanic mythological tradition in scaldic poetry, which led to the compilation of valuable sources like Snorri Sturlusson's Skáldskaparmál (Poetic Diction).
		Sturlusson's Gylfaginning (The Deluding of Gylfi) reads like a synopsis of the lays of the Poetic Edda, and in the Heimskringla, which records the lives of kings of Norway, he euhemerizes the major gods as mythical sovereigns of early Scandinavia, as Saxo Grammaticus does for Denmark in his History of the Danes.
		Moreover, descriptions of life in Iceland, Norway, and Sweden contain numerous details on religious practices and specific forms of worship, as well as on the shift from paganism to Christianity.
