North



These movies with Thor and Loki are a great resource to start learning about the nine realms and Norse mythology. For example, the beautiful gold amulet-shaped art pieces from the Iron Age called gullgubber ['little old man of gold'] are gorgeous and something very interesting. The above is a photo of Fanefjord church in Denmark [ie. the burial place of Queen Fane], on the island of Møn, with exceptional biblical ceiling art from the 1300s-1500s. They were hidden under plaster in the past.
