Hi, everyone, welcome back to another episode of that's all folk. Today I will be talking about the Vikings and one of their ancient chance, which only arranged for our Tena's and bases. Karadzic is the name of a huge mythical tree that is the central pillar of Norse cosmology. The chance words come from Valspar, which is the first and best known poems of the poetic Edda. This historical artefact was compiled in the 13th century and is now considered one of the most important primary sources for the study of Norse mythology. In it, a serious describes the creation of the world and tells of its eventual destruction in an event called Ragnarok. Here is a translation of the two verses that are used in the chant and ash I know it stands. It is named ignorance sick, a high tree sprinkled with white mud. They're from its come the Jews that fall on the Dale. It stands always green, above the source of as well as having branches that reach into the heavens. There are also three springs to which ignore Isaac reaches its roots. They are considered pathways to other worlds. Arthur is the source of the well, Arthur Brunner. Every day. The nuns who live by this well cover it draws its roots in its water and mud to keep the branches strong. This is the mud that is referenced in the lyrics of the song. This pathway leads to the world of **** home, home to the Hall of the Dead, the realm of lost souls and hel the goddess of death. The second route goes to the vagal mere well in nipple home. This is where the giants live with the Children of the mist. The third route reaches name is Bruner in the land of your own home. This is where the frost bite in a live. Now we will explore the branches so expansive that four stags live amongst them our planet's heavenly reaches. Ibricic connects to the Rainbow Bridge, which is the entrance to the kingdom of Asgard. This is where the tribe of civilised wire fences there are now. Only 28 of these churches left a stark visualisation of juxtaposing cultures. While researching this episode, I've really enjoyed getting to know about parts of Viking life that I wouldn't normally hear about, especially their culture and mythology. Music has been one of our most popular tracks because of the huge online community of people who find Viking culture fascinating. Individuals from around the world are drawn to ancient Scandinavian culture, and many of these enthusiasts say that the old North stories and songs make them homesick for a world they'll never know. And that's all for this episode. Thanks for listening. I'll see you next time for another song and all the facts by.
