This Labor Day I am working on a labor of love: my ongoing illustrated adaptation of Norse mythology, which will be collected in the upcoming works @odinnsaga and @vikingsvalkyries . This is a diagram of Nineworlds.
🌳
According to Norse mythology, Yggdrasil, the Worldtree, connected the realms of existence together.
Nineworlds consisted of Asgard, land of the gods, Vanaheim, home of the vanir, Elfheim, home of the elves, Jotunheim, home of the giants, Mydgard, land of humans, Myrkheim, home of the dwarves, Muspelheim, the fire world, Nifelheim, the ice world, and Hel, realm of the cowardly dead.
