Norse Gods and the Kabbalah Tree of Life...

Dec 29, 2008 07:46

My post yesterday about Wuldor got me thinking about various Norse gods and the Tree of Life.  I determined gods for each Sephirah.

Kether, Crown, is obviously Odin, for he rules over the gods and man.

For Chokmah, Wisdom, I've used Muninn, Memory, in the past, but I want to use actual gods and their ilk, so Mimir fits best, for he was known for great Wisdom, and his well is where Odin got Wisdom.

Likewise with Binah, Understanding, I usually use Huginn, Thought.  Here I will use Freyja, for her use of Seidr which she taught Odin in exchange for the runes.  The Runes also relate to this Sephirah.

Chesed, Mercy, took some thinking.  I settled on the Valkeries, for they save the fighting dead from Hel.

Geburah, Judgement, would be the Norns, for they determine the fate of man.

Tipherah, Beauty, is associated with the Sun, so Sunna fits.  I almost put Baldr here, for his light and beauty.

Netzach, Victory, I think best fits for Baldr, for he is the victor in Ragnarok, and takes the place of Odin, who is the god of warriors.

I've already said Ullr is Hod, Glory.

Yesod, Foundation, is the Moon, so Mani goes here.

Thor is the god of farming warriors, the common people, so he fits for Malkuth, Kingdom.
