ASES
In the mythology of the North, we call Ases the members of one of the two great families of gods (godh or gudh), the other being that of the Vanes, all these gods opposing giants, dwarves, elves and other supernatural creatures.
BALDR
In the Nordic pantheon, the god Ase (called Baldr) detonates. Son of Ódhinn and Frigg, kind, pure, fair, he impresses with his gentleness, his wisdom, his mercy and his helpfulness, all qualities that do not correspond exactly to what we can know about the old Nordic ethics.
FREYJA
In the mythology of the North, the goddess Freyja occupies a central place, but it is difficult to define exactly her personality: her licentiousness explains that the commentators of the Middle Ages, who are our main sources and who were Christians, were discreet.
BRÜNHILD, BRÜNNHILDE or BRYNHILDR
A warrior princess of great beauty, heroine of medieval Germanic epic literature and appearing in ancient Norse and Nordic sources (songs of the Edda, Icelandic saga of the Völsungar) and, in German, in the Nibelungenlied (early 13th century century, the Song of the Nibelungen). Called Brynhild, Brynhildr Brünhild, Brünnhilde or Brunehilde according to sources, she is the main character of the epic poems of poetic Edda where she appears, but her role is significantly reduced in The Song of the Nibelungen.
FREYR
Like his father, Njördhr, and his sister (or female double), Freyja, the Nordic god Freyr, of the Vanes family, is unquestionably master of fertility-fertility, even if, in recent times, meaning or intersections tend to make him a more martial deity.
LOKI
In northern mythology, Loki is the god of Evil. But this definition is not very enlightening, because the conception that one can make of the "evil" varies infinitely with the places, the eras, the men, the cultures; and, as the North presents a phenomenon characterized by brewing (especially of people and influences), it is almost discouraging to try to specify the outlines of Loki's enigmatic figure par excellence.
