Odin created a city for the gods
called Asgard. It was connected
to the world of humans by a
rainbow bridge.
Heimdall was the
guardian of the gates
of Asgard. He guarded the
rainbow bridge and needed very
little sleep. He could hear grass
grow. He could hear the wool
on a sheep grow. He could see
over 300 miles.

ed
he people of Northern Europe are sometimes called
the Norse. Long ago, the Norse people believed
in many gods and goddesses. Let's meet some!
Odin was one of the Norse gods. It was said
that he created the universe. He was the god of
magic, wisdom, war, poetry, and the alphabet.
A Norse origin myth says that Odin and
his two younger brothers, Vili and Ve,
killed the frost giant Ymir. They
used Ymir's bones, blood, and
flesh to form the universe.
The goddess Frigg was
Odin's wife and she alone
could sit with him on his
high seat, or throne. She
was the goddess of motherhood and had the power to tell the future.
Legend says that
Odin created the
first man and
woman from two
different trees.
