Norse Nordic gods are Giants

Giants appear in nearly all the surviving Norse god stories. Battles with them, negotiations and meetings… and marriages / unions. Various Norse gods are also said to be part giant. Odin is half giant. Thor is three quarters giant – as his mother Fjörgyn was a giant. Loki is said to be half giant and half god. Loki also had two children with the giantess Angrboda which makes his children three quarters giant. Njord’s wife Skadi was the daughter of a giant. Giants also lusted after the Norse god Freya. Forces of chaos, destruction, and entropy represented by the giants, it’s somewhat ironic that Thor is himself three-quarters giant. His father, Odin, is half-giant, and his mother, variously named as Jord (Old Norse “Earth”), Hlöðyn, or Fjörgyn, is entirely of giant ancestry. However, such a lineage is very common amongst the gods, and shows how the relationship between the gods and the giants. There were a lot of relationships between the Norse Gods and the giants. Were the Norse gods also, what we would call, giants? It sounds like it. If you like my channel: ▸ Instagram: ▸ Patreon: (currently not posting new content) ▸ PayPal: ▸ Shop: ▸ Facebook: ▸Twitter:
