You are most welcome, it was a great idea! One of the things I found interesting when I started diving into the mythology is how much is still used in our culture today. From the days of the week to books like Lord Of The Rings, Harry potter had a Werewolf called Fenrir, video games, and religion it's woven through everywhere. The sad part is most of the history was passed orally until after the Christians had already converted most of the Norse and Celtic lands, so a lot of it had already kind of been melded together. For instance Dante's Inferno, which is kind of the modern archetype of Christian hell, painted it as a place for punishment of the wicked as where the Helheim of the nine realms was a place for anyone who wasn't chosen by the Valkyrie for dying courageously in battle and taken to Valhalla. Anyway I could bore you forever but I won't! haha. I am very excited to be finished with creation! it's kind of piece meal put together from different Eddas, the god's myths have a much stronger narrative. and good old Ratatoskr will get himself a quick appearance in here soon, when I go into Odin and Yggdrasil. I can't thank you enough for following along, and commenting as well. it would be very hard to keep doing this with no one reading it! Looks like you're my muse on this one. lol Happy Steeming!

Yes Fenrir is also a wolf summoning in Final Fantasy 9. Ratatosk is a character in tales of symphonia. There is even a video game called Dante's Inferno. Nothing boring about it my friend! I have Celtic heritage and find this very intriguing, I've always intended to learn more about these topics. Tis my pleasure! @skycae is super into mythology and posts about it a lot on her blog too. I think she lead me to your blog actually. Keep up the great work I'm sure more mythology enthusiasts will find their way here soon enough ^_^ I also might suggest engaging with others who write mythology to help them find your posts. Happy Steeming! :D
yes mythology is my favorite haha, I havent finished reading part 2 of this series yet lol I have like 10 posts to read right now >.<
I totally understand, I can barely keep up with it now and I'm still a plankton! Looks like you will have some catch up time I hit a bandwidth limit so I guess I'm in Steemit jail for a few days lol.
Not sure if you've heard of @ginabot but she tells you when people post in certain topics like mythology, I use it to find more homesteading/offgrid posts. Very helpful
I will check her out for sure!
I will do that and Skycae Is awesome as well! She is actually the first upvote and comment I ever had on the platform, so she is very dear to my heart. Hopefully they will, I'm gonna try to mix it up and write about different subjects like philosophy, maybe some poems also ounce I get a rhythm going. A minnows gots ta grind.
