Magic played a crucial role in Norse mythology, shaping the destinies of gods and mortals alike. Odin, the Allfather, mastered Seidr, a powerful form of magic associated with fate and prophecy. The god Loki was a skilled shape-shifter, using trickery and illusions to outwit even the strongest warriors.
Runes, enchanted artifacts, and magical weapons were common in Viking legends. The goddess Freyja taught magic to Odin, while Thorβs hammer, Mjolnir, had the power to summon lightning and protect Asgard. These mystical elements continue to captivate audiences through Viking lore.
