You are one of those who tattoo themselves wolves because they think that it gives them a certain air
of rudeness or those who in their social network profiles tend to be
pseudonyms such as lone wolf Pérez Díaz good if you feel
identified with the previous questions and the image of this mythical
animal let me introduce you to the most terrible of all and by far the most
recognized the abhorrent Fenrir though let me warn you something, the beginning of his
story may leave you more of a feeling of
It is a shame that it is because of the foregoing that we will know it in great detail.
that you can get a much better idea about this mythology through
of this video that we will call Fenrir the prophecy of the beginning of the end
Already from the first stanzas of the Völuspa, a völva warns Odin that at
this in Járnvidr, among the litter of beasts will emerge one, destroyer of the moon
in the form of troll. It is from here, in the beginning, that the prophecy affects
the ears of the father of wisdom making noise throughout his
history; but how was Fenrir born?
It is said that not happy with his faithful wife Sygin, Loki, sometimes took off
towards Jotunheim, in search of love affairs. In one of those times heading east
I spend some nights with the giantess Angrboda, from this relationship three
monstrous children: the greatest was the wolf Fenrir, the second was Jormungand the
Largest of the snakes and the third was a daughter named Hel.
When the gods heard that the father of lies, he fathered these
children, they were alarmed, they then discussed what to do with them in Urd's well, in
where the three Norns warned them: His mother is evil, said Urd, but his father is worse
said Verdandi, you can not expect anything good from them, but the worst, said Skuld,
they will only harm and endanger everyone, they will participate in the
killing, they all said in unison. Listening to this the gods agreed that
Loki's children, they had to be captured. At the urging of Odin, a
group of gods crossed to Jotunheim at night, burst into the hall of Angrboda
and they gagged and bound her even before she had rubbed her eyes.
They then kidnapped their children and took them back to Asgard.
An act of Venezuelan comedy is not true. Odin had no doubts about what
what should be done picked up Jormungand and threw it into the ocean that
surrounded Midgard, the world of men, threw him through the air crashing
against the surface of the water and it sank to the bottom of the sea
then he took a look at Hel and threw it into the mist in the dark
arid of Nilfheim, the world beneath the worlds and as he fell he heard the
Odin's decree, that he should take care of the dead with the condition
in addition to her sharing any food she had with whom
I came to her. At the thought of Fenrir, Odin decided that
It would be better if the gods themselves watched over him. At first it did not seem
different from any other wolf and all the gods agreed that
there would be no harm in letting him wander through the green and golden fields
of Asgard. Now, of all the gods
only Tyr, the son of Odin, was enough
brave enough to face him alone and give him large quantities of meat to
keep it quiet. With the passage of little time, the gods did not take in changing
of opinion about Fenrir when they saw him grow day by day and more when
Urd, Skuld and Verdandi, renewed their warnings saying that the wolf would cause
the death of Odin. Then they agreed that since they could not kill then there
and then smear the sanctuary of Asgard with his evil blood, they had to trap it
and chain it, then the gods made a powerful chain of iron links
and they called it "Leading". Several of them approached Fenrir,
They showed him the chain and asked him: Are you as strong as this chain? The wolf
inspected "Leading" and said: it's certainly strong, but I'm certainly more
strong. It was all he had to say while he let the gods roll up
The chain around your neck body and legs. They finished, the wolf growled,
and then he stood his huge legs filled his lungs with air and then
He flexed all the muscles of his body making the links
of "Leading" will be separated. The gods wasted no time in making another chain,
it was "Dromi" and twice as strong as "Leading". The links were
so big that no man could have moved them. If you can break this
chain, the gods told Fenrir, you will be
recognized by your strength, in the 9 worlds. Fenrir looked at "Dromi" and thought that
he looked immensely strong, but he already thought that he had also returned
even stronger since he hurt "Leading".
Nobody gains fame without risk, he said, and the gods surrounded him with this
neck the body and legs.
They finished? he growled at the wolf and shook himself so that there was a terrible jingle,
noise and grinding. He turned around and arched his back and hit the chain
against the ground, he tightened his muscles until
were as hard as the iron links of "Dromi" and stood up another
once and plunged its claws into the ground. He tensed and tensed and suddenly, "Dromi"
broke into hundreds of separate links. The shrapnel flew in all directions
after this the gods were scared and thought they could not chain Fenrir,
but Odin said that if someone can make a chain that does not break
that would be a dwarf and sent to the brilliant "Skirnir", the messenger of "Freyr"
to the world of the dark elves, Svaltarfaheim.
"Skirnir", fell under Midgard through dark, wet and dark caves.
There he found Nar, Nain, Niping and hundreds of other dwarves, each one so
terrible as the next and promised them gold and more gold, if they could
tie Fenrir. In the gloom, the eyes of the dwarves shone like
fireflies; they whispered, they planned and they went to work.
They made a necklace as soft and flexible as a silk ribbon and they called it "Gleipnir".
When he returned to Asgard. All the gods thanked Skirnir for going to
this mission. But what is it done? Odin asked,
touching shackle, six things Skirnir said: the sound that a cat makes when
moves, a woman's beard, the roots of a mountain, tendons
of a bear, the breath of a fish and saliva with a bird.
The gods were amazed, but also skeptical of the power of Gleipnir.
If you doubt it as I doubted it, said Skirnir, remember the cunning of the
Dwarves, after all have you ever thought
Why does not a cat make noise when it moves? And why does not a woman have
beard? You can never prove that the mountain does not
has roots, but many things that do not seem to exist, are simply in
the custody of the dwarves. Then a large group of gods approached
Fenrir and for the third time they invited him to go out with them to Lyngv Island, and
middle of Lake Amsvartnir. There the gods showed him Fenrir
the chain and challenged him to prove his strength against her. It's a little more
strong as it seems, said one, it is as well interwoven as the words
of a good poem, said another, but you, Fenrir, can break it.
The wolf looked at Gleipnir, this tape is so thin, he said, that it would not gain fame by
break it, looked at Gleipnir again, if on the other hand, cunning and magic have
formed then, I prefer that you stay it, they will not roll it in my legs.
In response to this, said a god, before you have destroyed the huge iron chain
and if by chance you can not break it, another said, we free you again; can
trust in us. Fenrir showed his teeth, to the gods
They did not like his appearance, if you can stop me, he growled,
It will be a long time before I can expect your help, I do not want to be tied
with this tape, but I also do not want to be accused of cowardice;
so while the others tie me, one of you put your hand in my mouth
as a sign of your good faith. Tyr looked one by one to all the gods of that
company; all the gods there looked at each other and not
they said nothing in the same way that all gods
to him, wondering what to do. Then Tyr slowly raised his arm
right and put his hand in Fenrir's mouth. Immediately the other gods
They tied Gleipnir around Fenrir's neck, body and legs, until all his
extension sold out. Fenrir began to fight against her, tried to patiar,
shrug, shake, shake, roll; but the more he threw, the more
tight it became Gleipnir. Then Fenrir growled and clenched his teeth. Tyr, the most
brave of the gods, he writhed and cried out unable to endure so much pain
the other gods laughed they knew that Fenrir was tied at last, except Tyr, the
only one who lost his hand. The gods tied the great chain
called Gelgja, until the end of the silk ribbon and a huge rock called Gjoll
and they definitely fixed it. The gods led the Gioll a kilometer and
halfway towards the earth, then they found the great Thviti rock and placed it on top of
Gjoll to hold her. Fenrir shook himself and fought, gritted his teeth, swallowed hard and
He opened his vastly blood-stained fauses.
Then one of the gods drew his sword and drove the point hard into the ceiling
from Fenrir's mouth and pressed the hilt against his lower jaw.
The wolf was gagged and bound. Their howls were terrible and the saliva,
it came out of its jaws. A long time after the great winter and the
to be the skies sunk in absolute darkness,
the earth shook violently the mountains fell, which allowed
that Fenrir, finally be released. He opened his snout in such a way that his
his jaw was digging the earth and the top of his bite consumed the
sky, devouring everything that was in the way.
Do not think that the end of the myth reaches here, do not despair, the end of the
Fenrir's story, I will narrate it in an upcoming video that will dust off the
Nordic apocalypse, that is, the so famous Ragnarok, and no, it does not look like anything
to the movie inspired by marvel. So stay tuned for the next
