Scandinavians, please explain your mythology to me

Thor is so weak that he can't pick up a cat from the ground and gets beaten by an elderly woman in a wrestling contest
>>
>>218276622
Only chuds hate girlbosses.
>>
>>218276555
Because it's funny. The idea of a man dressing up as a woman was until fairly recently considered a joke.
>>
>>218276555
a notable thing about Nordic was that unlike most IE people's the king in their pantheon was not the warrior sky-father but the God associated with magic, wisdom, and cleverness (and war of course). so this is meant to show that Thor is smart and clever by disguising himself as a woman
>>
>>218276555
What is a woman?
how can something that doesn't exist have clothing for it?
>>
>>218277016
Dressing as a woman was punishable by death in Nordic countries back in pagan times. It was associated with sorcery.

Uhm how would you know? Were you there? Didn't think so!

are icelanders actually cave trolls who reproduce asexually ?

>>218276555
Crossdressing is one of the most masculine things you can do. Women literally can't do it

>The great hero Heracles, whom the Romans identified as Hercules,"inadvertently" murdered Iphitus. In one of many Greek variations on the theme the penalty was, by the command of the Delphic Oracle Xenoclea, that he be remanded as a slave to Omphale for the period of a year.
>There are many late Hellenistic and Roman references in texts and art to Heracles being forced to do women's work and even wear women's clothing and hold a basket of wool while Omphale and her maidens did their spinning.

What the fuck he's right

>>218280472
It's difficult to believe, but a one point in time, long ago, it was considered "funny" for big burly men to dress as women. Fortunately we have advanced past that was a society and have learned to be more accepting to transfolx and other marginalized minorities.

>>218276555
The image they used doesn't even show Thor

The bog throwing thing was northern german that has nothing to do with nordics.
>>
>>218281019
This has nothing to do with what I say. Only murderers were thrown in bogs because people believed their souls wouldn’t escape their bodies due to lack of decomposition.
>>
>>218281102
>This has nothing to do with what I say
Yes it has. All this bullshit about executing gays etc came about from some obscure swamp creatures from northern germany that was expanded to everything around, nordics included.
>>
>>218281189
>that was expanded to everything around, nordics included
I mean the narrative
>>
What does xe mean by that

why not
>>
>>218281189
There are literal sagas available, you dumb retard.
>>
>>218281720
>not holding the akakia
>>
>>218281776
Yes which include OP topic. You made distinction saying "pagan" nordics, so dont bring up some icelandic stuff written by christians rapefugees under the guise that they are all "nordic sagas".
>>
>>218282478
bodied that freak
>>
>>218281767
cause they're already done it to the point no one normal calls a woman wearing pants a crossdresser
>>
>>218276555
>The story speaks volumes about how the Vikings understood humour
Isn't that the story where he wears a dress to deceive and murder giants who stole his hammer?

Most norse mythology was made up by an icelandic catholic in the 13th century

>>218276555
because they werent literalist retards and treated it like a bugs bunny comic. he crossdresses to fool the baddie that took his hammer. its a goddamn cartoon, not a literal source of blood vitality called down from heaven.

you have to be autistic to believe in true gods, like asatru is clearly autistic. the only 'god' we have is the blackhole singularity we're inside that needs to be popped like a balloon.

Why do you want it popped? Do you think things are better on the other side?

20 years ago troons literally did not exist and men dressed as women was just the usual "character needs to hide and everyone pretends he's just a really big and ugly woman" trope

why would you worship Mercury of all Gods?

This place is cannibalizing itself, but it's filling up faster than its shrinking while its actively feeding from beyond the information horizon. When the feeding halts, there will be a rapid disintegration or a massive cooling to halt it. I don't want to be trapped frozen in hell when the music stops and I haven't found a suitable attunement frequency to leap out. Hanging out in a pocket dimension for now waiting for other travelers.
