43 pages (A5-booklet format)

This booklet consists of the etymological, exoteric and esoteric meanings of the most common names and words in Nordic/Germanic mythology.

The booklet is designed utilizing tables for easy reference of English, (modern)-Norwegian, old-Norse/Germanic and pre-Nordic names.

In addition to this, it includes an elucidation on the underlying esoteric significance of the pre-Nordic saga of the creation of man and "The Structure Of Man"; more than enough can replace Maslow's theories and other commonly established concepts of modern psychology. This booklet certainly offers many surprising and penetrating insights even for the more advanced readers.

Foreword

Originally this booklet was a result of correspondence between the VHF and the NHF. Since the list herein might be interesting to others as well the VHF took the initiative and made a booklet out of this information.

This booklet contains most of the names in Norse-Germanic mythology and their English translation (and the Norwegian version of the names and some old Germanic versions as well). To understand the meaning of the myths we often have to know what the different names mean. When we know what the names mean it suddenly becomes clear to us that the myths are far deeper and more meaningful than they first appear to be.

The translations of the names have been made with the help of different dictionaries, both Norse dictionaries and etymological dictionaries. There are additional meanings to the names as well, but only the most important meaning (in the mythological context) of each name has been included in this booklet.

I hope this list of names will prove useful to anybody who chose to venture deeper into our Norse-Germanic mythology, and thus our soil and spirit.

Hugr needs stimuli in form of mental work - where memory, the ability to concentrate and think is approved, but also mental rest. Önd needs deeper meaning and long-term planning and a super-individual perspective, but also contempt for earth and ruthlessness - to one self as to others...
