NORSE MYTHOLOGY DRAUGR THE UNDEAD!

NORSE MYTHOLOGY DRAUGR THE UNDEAD!

The barrow wights of Tolkien's world were inspired by these Norse Mythological monsters.
Powerful and dangerous, they were a curse on the living, a punishment for a life lived without honour.

NOTE 1: Lightbringer has been on summer holiday, so the visuals are not as good as usual.
Baldermort is not as adept at this side of the video making process. His apologies.

NOTE 2: The origin of the Draugr is lost to the mists of time, so Baldermort has done his best to consider why they would exist and what their origins would have been. This is an honest attempt to bring the Draugr a logical background and genesis considering their place in the mythology and the character of Old One Eyed Odin. We believe it is congruent, but this video is mainly conjecture. It is a fun tale that is meant to elicit more interest in the darker and more rarified elements of the mythology.

We hope you enjoy it for what it is.

Living Mythology is an attempt to entertain, relax and educate all in the one place. We are trying to forge narratives so that people can experience the religions and mythologies of the world as they were meant to be. Not as dry academic monoliths, but as living breathing tales and parables as experienced by the peoples who worshipped these beings, in an attempt to make sense of their own lives and the world around them.

This channel is in its infancy, so we hope to improve and develop it as we gain more experience.

All of the tales are taken from very conflicting traditions across many centuries, so there will be many a moment when decisions need to be made to create a more cohesive narrative. If we present something that seems to be in contrast to details, rest assured we have researched many forms of the traditions and come to the conclusions we have done to form the videos.
There will NEVER be total agreement on any of these narratives due to the history and differing ways they developed over the centuries.
These videos are for entertainment and an easy gateway to the subject. If you wish more academic details then please direct your attention to the wide source material and others who perform those types of academic video essays.

Written and Narrated By: Baldermort
Edited by: Baldermort - who is out of practice, hence the slightly less interesting visuals. Sorry!
