Evening Tales

Original tales from Norse mythology. Built on the sources, shaped by the tradition, told anew. Stories to share on late evenings by the fire, with a mead horn in hand or with children in your lap.

By the mead horn

Tales for adults. Told the way they ought to be told.

  • Ratatoskr

    About the squirrel who ran up and down through Yggdrasil carrying insults between an eagle and a dragon, and who never delivered a message without making it worse.

  • Mímir's Draught

    About the one who sits by the well and knows everything, and who cannot do a damn thing about it.

  • Veðrfölnir

    About the hawk who sat between the eagle's eyes and saw the same thing as everyone else, only from a different angle.

  • Níðhöggr's Teeth

    About the dragon who chewed on the roots every day, not because he had a purpose, but because he refused to stop.

  • Hel's Half

    About the one who rules the dead no one wanted, and who knows it is the most honest realm of all.

  • Ginnungagap

    About the void before everything, and how the world began with meltwater and a giant who sweated.
