In the Old English "Nine Herbs Charm" it is written that Woden killed a dangerous "wyrm" or adder with the help of nine "wuldortanas" (glory-twigs).
Heizmann (1997) argues that this magical act is depicted on bracteate IK 574 from a female cremation grave at Issendorf near Hamburg.

Стены Асгарда
Интерпретация мифа
Строки 25–26 Vǫluspá
Отсылают к тому же мифу, который пересказывается в “Snorra Edda” В «Gylfaginning» глава 42
Речь идёт об истории о Йотунне, явившемся в облике чужеземца, который обманом заключил с Богами договор о возведении стен Асгарда в обмен на Солнце, Луну и руку Фрейи в браке.
Этот миф — один из наиболее искажённых и неверно понимаемых во всей скандинавской мифологии, и потому Том Роузелл решил объяснить данный миф как можно яснее

Ladies & Gentlemen, I am proud to present one of my biggest projects to date.
Opened back in 2014, the Newark Odinist Temple have a huge significance in the revival of England's native religion. I met the priest-in-charge, Ralph Harrison, for an in depth discussion of how the temple became a reality, how the Odinist Fellowship assist with legal matters for religious Odinists, and what the future holds for Odinism in the British Isles.
After having visited many churches, stone circles, ossuaries, standing stones and all other types of historical places over the years, for the first time, I will be stepping into an English pagan temple.

This article was intended to explain the difference between Heathenry and other Paganisms. The hyperbolic title is not my own creation. At no point do I claim Paganisms such as Heathenry will replace Christianity, I simply note that Paganisms are on the rise and Heathenry is an authentic expression of Englishness and its resurgence is a reaction against the evils of our age.

The Germanic animal style is typical of Germanic art from c. 475-1100 AD but we can see it existed in an earlier form too.
In the 3rd century, Northern Europeans, who had formerly been influenced artistically mainly by Celts, and more recently by Romans, adopted an old Scythian way of depicting stags and other quadrupeds that would become the “backward facing beast” motif which endured to the Viking age.
On the Thorsberg disc, c. 250 AD, which is mainly in a Roman style, there are also four beasts in a Scytho-Germanic style. A gold disc from Tannendorf in Lower Saxony c. 300 AD has an early backward facing beast, and other deer-like animals with S shaped bodies are seen on Nordic drinking vessels dated to the 3rd century.

An idol of the goddess of cross channel trade, Nehalennia, during a coastal blot in the Netherlands earlier this year held by Swesaz, Ingwine and Traditie, a Flemish Heathen organisation.

Nehalennia - Celtic-Germanic goddess, worshipped by travellers that crossed the North Sea from the Netherlands and/or went into the rivers networks.
❤69👍14⚡3🗿1
In the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, there were at least two or three temples for Nehalennia in Western Netherlands. This coastal region was important for the trade between the Rhine area and Britain. The North Sea was formerly called Mare Germanicum "German sea" and sometimes in the third/fourth century Mare Saxonicum "Saxon sea".
In 545 AD, Greek author Procopius wrote in ‘History of the wars’ that men living on the continental coast of the German sea, under the jurisdiction of the Franks (probably Zeeland), are tasked with ferrying the ghosts of the dead to Britain at night. When they arrived the ghosts would speak their names, disembark, and then the men could row back to the Netherlands.
It seems likely this practice was related to the cult of Nehalennia and though mostly observed by Germanic folk, may have had Celtic origins relating to the belief in an Island of the Dead in the West.
