"The Norse mythology, we say, then, shows what the religion of our ancestors was; and their religion is the main fact that we care to know about them. Knowing this well, we can easily account for the rest. Their religion is the soul of their history. Their religion tells us what they felt; their feelings produced their thoughts, and their thoughts were the parents of their acts. When we study their religion, we discover the unseen and spiritual fountain from which all their outward acts welled forth, and by which the character of these was determined."

Shakespeare borrowed from Norse mythology.
Merchant of Venice – wherein a Jewish usurer named Shylock wants the payment owned of a pound of flesh, closest to heart, from Antonio. Portia tells Shylock that he may have the flesh but not a single drop of blood could be shed. This effectively saves Antonio and Shylock’s plans are thwarted.
In Norse mythology, there were two dwarf families who were accomplished craftsmen of fine metals, Ivaldi and Sindri. They conpeted to make wonders for the gods at Loki’s request. Loki wagered his own head against the work of the Sindri dwarves.
Upon completion, each of the gifts received praises of the Gods. But those of Sindri clan were considered best. The dwarf Brok demanded his prize, Loki’s head, which he had wagered.
“Thy head is mine,” exclaimed Brok, who prepared to cut it off.
“Thine indeed is the head, answered Loki, “but not the neck.”
Brok appealed to the Gods, but they gave judgment that favored Loki. They told Brok that he might take the head, but the neck he must not injure.

The Nebra sky disc found in 1999 near Nebra, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Along with the Sun and moon the star cluster Pleiades can be seen on the disc. Pleiades is called the ‘Seven Sisters’ in many European traditions, whilst the OE name was ‘seofonstierre’ or the Seven Stars.
It is believed that the copper used to make the disc came from Bischofshofen in Austria, whilst the gold and tin used came from Cornwall England.
