An Introduction to the Norse gods and goddesses

Before the Asgardian and Vanir Gods came, There was a giant . His name was Ymir. His descendants are all the gods and Giants.

The Father of all these gods and goddesses is Father Odin. Then his wife is Queen Frigga, she was the goddess of love and marriage. Of course you know their son, Thor, the god of thunder and lightning. His brothers are Balder the beautiful and his wife, Nanna, Iduna, Hoder, Hermod, and Tyr. You must know the god who was descended from giants, Loki. Then there is Freya, Frey, Heimdallr, and lots more.

Iduna and her Apples

Iduna was the goddess who supplied the gods with the magic golden apples. The apples kept the gods young and healthy and beautiful. A god's worst dream was to become old.

One day, Father Odin and Loki went down to the land of the giant's Jötunhiem. Well, Loki got carried off by a giant eagle who was really, Utgard Loki. Now Utgard Loki would only let Loki down if he brought Iduna and a basket of her golden apples to him.
