➡️A couple of weeks I wrote a caption explaining the Northern Lights from a scientific view👨‍🔬, now it is time for the legends surrounding this amazing spectacle:

📜According to one legend, Odin, the chief god and ruler of Asgard, lived in Valhalla, where he was preparing for Ragnarök. This event was predestined and would be Odin’s greatest battle⚔️, so he needed the bravest warriors at his side. During every battle on Earth, Odin would pick the warriors who would die and join him in Valhalla. The Valkiries👸 were female warriors on horseback. who wore armour and carried spears and shields🛡️, were tasked with leading Odin’s chosen warriors to Valhalla. The Vikings believed the Northern Lights🌌 illuminating the sky were the reflections of the Valkyrie’s armour🛡️ as they led the warrior to Odin.

📜In several other legends, they claim the Northern Lights🌌 were the breath of brave soldier who died in combat or they were believed to be the Bifrost Bridge🌈, a glowing, pulsing arch which led fallen warriors to the their final resting place in Valhalla.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦But for the Sámi people, the Northern Lights🌌 didn’t tell stories of heroism and bravery, they believed that they were the souls of the dead💀, and they were to be feared and respected in equal measure, so you shouldn’t talk🗣️ about them or even waving👋, whistling😗 or singing🎶 under them, as this would alert the lights to your presence and carry you up to the sky⬆️. Nowadays, many Sámi people stay in their homes🏠 when the Northern Lights are illuminating the sky🌌.

❓Did you know that that Norway has more English speakers than Canada? 76% of the Canadian population speaks English while 86% of the Norwegians make use of the English language for communication.

«Prachtig huisje met alles wat je ervan verwacht en nodig hebt. Prima inrichting, lekkere bedden en werkelijk prachtige locatie. 5-sterren ontbijt! Zelfs een zeehond pal voor de deur. Wel een afgelegen locatie, in het laagseizoen is het restaurant dicht en zijn er geen andere restaurants openin de buurt. Dus vooraf even informeren is het advies. Huisje beschikt over een goede keuken en de dichtstbijzijnde supermarkt is een klein halfuurtje rijden. Echt een aanrader. Vanuit de accommodatie kun je ...

«A Magical Christmas Cabin in Malangen We had the most incredible Christmas at this cabin in Malangen—it felt like we were living inside a Christmas card! The house was absolutely perfect, with every detail thoughtfully provided. From the cozy fireplace to the luxurious sauna and jacuzzi, everything exceeded our expectations.
