· Members of this family are called the Æsir, and they are all divinities. This must be the reason why Odin is called All-Father. He is the father of all the gods and men and of everything that he and his power created. · In the middle of the world the sons of Bor built for themselves a stronghold named Asgard, called Troy by later generations. The gods and their kindred lived in Asgard, and many memorable events have happened there. · In Asgard was a great hall named Hlidskjálf. Odin sat there on a high seat. From there he could look out over the whole world and see what everyone was doing. He understood everything that he saw. · A great ash tree called //Yggdrasill// ("World Tree") supported the universe, with roots that connects the nine worlds together. One root of Yggdrasill extends to //Muspelheim// ("world of fire"), while another root to //Niflheim// (the "world of cold" or "of ice"). Niflheim was sometimes confused with Niflhel; Niflhel being known by another name – //Hel//, was the world of the dead. [|Hel] was sometimes used interchangeably with Niflhel by many writers, as the world of the dead. · There was nothing in the beginning but seemingly almost endless chasm called the Ginnungagap. Ginnungagap was a void like the Greek [|Chaos]. Ginnungagap was bordered by Niflheim, which is the place of darkness and ice, far to the north; and Muspelheim, a place of fire, far to the south. Out of this chaos the first being came into existence from the drop of water when ice from Niflheim and fire from Muspelheim met. · The [|Norns] guarded the //Urdarbrunnr//, which is often known as "Weird's Well", "Wyrd's Well" or "Urda's Well". The Weird's Well was considered to be very holy. The Norns were Urda or Weird or Wyrd ("Past"), Verdandi ("Present") and Skuld ("Future"). Two swans drink from this well.

· Before the beginning of the universe, there was nothing in existence until [|Chaos] (Χάος) came into being. Who or what was Chaos was, the Greeks not really made clear. The Greeks usually associated Chaos as a male entity. Chaos could be personification of the abyss or void, a formless confusion. · This caused his mother to become angry with her son that she announced that Cronus would be in turn, be overthrown by his own son, like when Cronus overthrew his father. Cronus tried to avoid this fate, by swallowing each child that his sister-wife ([|Rhea]) gave birth to. The usual story is that, he swallowed all his children except his youngest [|Zeus] (Ζεύς). Rhea realizing she would lose all of her children, gave her husband a stone wrapped in swaddling cloth. The unsuspecting Cronus swallowed the stone. · Styx came to Zeus with her children: Bia (violence), Cratus (strength), Nike (victory) and Zelus (emulation). For this reason, Zeus honored her above the other gods, and gave special places to her children. · Zeus did indeed bring order out of Chaos, but one of his failings was that he did not look kindly upon the people, those creatures that populated the lands over which he reigned. Many were not beautiful, and Zeus had contempt for anyone who was not beautiful. And of course they were not immortal, as the Olympian gods were, and they complained about the lack of good food and the everlasting cold nights. · Adding insult to injury, Zeus had his fellow Olympian, [|Hephaestus], fashion a wicked but beautiful creature to torment Prometheus. It was a woman, whom they named [|Pandora], which means "all gifts". She was given a precious and beautiful box, which she was told not to open, but curiosity got the better of her, and out flew "all the evils that plague men." The only "gift" that stayed in the box was "Hope". · Also born out of Chaos were [|Gaia], called Earth, or Mother Earth, and [|Uranus], the embodiment of the Sky and the Heavens, as well as [|Tartarus], god of the sunless and terrible region beneath Gaia, the Earth.

3) What insights does this article give you? What questions does it raise? (write a short reflective paragraph) Everything seems to be born out of “Chaos.” Is that what Greeks and Romans imagine the world before time and space to be like? There seems to be some importance how Chronos (Greek) overthrew his father and his son, Zeus overthrew him. The gods and titans also did their actions in a weird manner; may have some meaning behind them. 4)  What is the next step in your research? Look into the importance of these particular actions.

2) Record significant information and quotes below (you may paste bullet points) 1.  ·  Then God said, “Let the earth be filled with [|living creatures].” So He made the animals on the earth, the cattle, and every thing that crawls upon the earth—all producing after their kinds; and God saw that it was good. ·  The heavens and the earth were finished, so on the seventh day God ended his work. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy. The Lord God also planted a garden in Eden. And out of the ground He made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. ·  Then the Lord God commanded, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden except for The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil. You must never eat from that tree. In the day that you do, you will surely die. 2. ·  In the beginning, God created the universe. At first the earth was shapeless and covered in darkness, and God's spirit hovered over the waters. God said, "Let there be light". And there was light. · But the most cunning animal, which God had made -the serpent -, tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. · On the sixth day God commanded the earth to bring forth all kinds of living creatures and he saw that it was good. God then said " Let us make man in our own image"

God has made us in his own image. Does that image only imply that we are related to him physically or mentally and emotionally as well? Why did God create the tree in the middle of the garden if we are forbidden from it. Why did God create the serpent if he posed a threat?

Essay- **What are the reasons this religion was created?** **Christianity** • Everything has a reason, especially religions. In this project I will be examining the reasons the Christian religion was created. Through my research I have learned many things about this religion. God being like the leader of the entire religion but people want to know why. He was a healer and people believe he was a god because he could do what others could not. He chooses a women name Mary to birth his child. She is a special character in the religion because she birthed gods son still a virgin. God named his son Jesus. Through out this paper, you will discover more about this religion that you may not have known. • "thy shall not kill" this quote is in some way hypocritical to the religion because in the old testi-mate, there was said that anyone who uses god name in vein should be put to death. The quote "thy shall not kill" is written in both testi-mates. The old one and the new one.
