heimdall or him dollar in old norse is often portrayed as an avid guardian of asgard
home of the norse mythological earth gods his sharpness attribute also known as the brilliant
god or the most brilliant god in norse mythology is very unique among the earth gods this then fits
into the mythical story of how heimdall maintains eternal vigilance at the entrance to asgard where
he burns connecting the territory of the gods to midgard the territory of earth the area of men who
firmly protects bifrost the rainbow bridge so in today's video we are gonna be talking on heimdall
from norse mythology as mentioned earlier the brightest and whitest heimdall in norse mythology
wields his horn the gelderhorn which is used by intruders as they approach the house of the gods
and can be heard in all of the worlds of the universe basically heimdall drank his wonderful
mead lived in a dwelling called himmenbjorg sky castle or skyrock and portrayed as keeping an eye
on the passage to the fortress of the gods from some sources such as prose edda's book gilfagining
heimdall also has a gold dropper a golden horse of the gods with a record of the depiction of the
gods one such well-discussed historical object is gosforth cross this is a 10th century anglo-saxon
cross of northern lumbean origin mysteriously characterized by both christian and pagan norse
motifs regarding the latter the cross probably has a plaque that represents heimdall holding
a horn and a sword while standing rebelliously in front of two open-mouthed beasts speaking of
hordes heimdall is also called harensky or ram as mentioned above but his sword is often compared
to the head and is an attack-oriented part of lam's physiology a guardian deity with animals
that creates a speculative connection with the norse another interesting hypothesis by the late
french comparative philosopher georges dumasil is related to the possibility that heimdall was
made to fit the story of the framing god in the definition of the pantheon and the universe
the involved entity seen in literary works is a myth this will look at the charm lines
of god's wish for this purpose one of the more interesting theories referred to whether heimdall
as a father of humanity was considered in the old nordic world as described in the old nordog
voluspal other scholars historically have perceived mortgages in the nordic tribe as
mentioned in poetry poems historically perceived free farmers historically perceived yarl or noble
in terms of literary history it should be understood that nordic gods and legends may
have one of the ambiguity of origin in the morning an old germania imagined in medieval scandinavia
in nordic mythology heimdall would be the son of nine girls known as nine or nine waves but
his father is mentioned as odzin itself according to some scholars these nine maidens may represent
the nine powerful and capricious daughters of iger the god of the nordic sea in heimdall's poem
heimdall himself states that he was born of nine sisters quote i am a descendant of nine mothers
and i am a son of nine sisters however other researchers disagree with the idea that heimdall's
mother is iger's daughter given the lack of literary evidence in ancient and medieval sources
but most scholars agree on heimdall's mythical role in the upcoming ragnarok he bravely stands
in the fields of vigrid and sounds the horrifying call of gatherhorn to signal the arrival of giants
and monsters and in subsequent conflicts loki and heimdall are predicted to kill each other
another myth related to heimdall is about the above rig sula persona depicted in rig's thula
as a wise and powerful wanderer disguised as heimdall this wanderer spent time with a couple
giving them advice and conceiving a woman to give birth to future offspring
one of these descendants in turn has grown into a remarkable warrior taking over the rig's cloak
and continuing the tradition of informing the next generation of humans sensitivity was considered an
integral part of heimdall so mythology revealed that norse mythology had the ability to see
hundreds of kilometers day and night this was complemented by the ability of the grass to
detect in here it grows on the ground and wool grows on sheep regarding the latter attribute
an old norse poem states that heimdall's kyoth is buried under yggdrasil a powerful tree in the
center of the universe heimdall who is listening to the vision and hearing vision he also has his
attitude as a guardian of asgard in a sense the guardian's god not only seemed to be an intruder
as well as a physical plane but also the time level that raised the fate recognized
during ragnarok severity norse mythology teaches that all gods are somehow special
and that it is his duty and ability to distinguish heimdall from other gods one of the hallmarks of
heimdall is the gatherhorn the horn used by giants to cross the bifrost bridge and enter asgard
this means the beginning of the end also known as doomsday or ragnarok heimdall is said to
have incredible hearing in sight and was able to hear vegetation growing thousands of miles away
heimdall's incredible appearance is described as his most compelling feature
he was able to see all nine areas at the same time heimdall didn't need much sleep
in fact he sleeps less than a bird which almost always allowed him to watch over nine worlds
with all his skills and abilities heimdall was the perfect gatekeeper of asgard the most powerful
territory of the gods in addition heimdall gladly left his duty of supervision and embarked on his
own adventure under the name rig this means king one of these exciting stories about heimdall
is the story of freya's stolen necklace known as the bracing gunman loki stole freyja's precious
property jumped into the sea and hid in a seal heimdall turned into a seal and chased loki to
recover freya's treasure when loki finally emerged from his hiding place heimdall tapped his face
took the necklace out of his hand and put it back in freyjas during the ultimate battle of ragnarok
historians have discovered another incredible story about heimdall stating that the mischievous
god loki and heimdall were predicted to kill each other thanks to numerous television shows and
movies we have had the opportunity to learn about many other gods giants and creatures
of norse mythology not only from heimdall but from all nine territories of the norse universe
the marvel cinematic universe features a number of characters from norse mythology including
heimdall heimdall the gatekeeper of asgard has been featured in several marvel films depicting
his incredible ability as a guardian of the entire nine realms nevertheless he has also shown
that heimdall plays an important role in each of these stories without his enhanced hearing other
gods like thor and his companions would not have achieved all the victories and successful escapes
with the power of heimdall he was able to hear screams for help from across the nordic universe
he then activated the bifrost bridge and helped his fellow gods when needed for example when
thor confronts a group of warriors against these jotans and when he saves them from the ice giants
