The Nature of the Cosmos
Very few cultures have the Norse perspective of cosmogony (a view on the origins of the cosmos). The Norse cosmogony enlightens a culture aimed on orderly civilization protected from the anarchic outside, a perpetual cycle of creation, and the gods settings an archetype for which the warriors efforts were patterned. From the constant give-and-take involved in creating life to the high value placed on honor and competitive accomplishments, the Norse have evolved their view on the cosmos based on their grand narratives that give meaning and sense to the world that is much more timeless and universal than other religious cultures. Before the Norse were converted to Christianity, they thrived with their own highly sophisticated and intricate religious customs. As they were forced to convert to Christianity, many of their texts and myths were burned to ensure their conversion. Even with such events, a plentiful amount of medieval texts were left untouched in Iceland; this is where most of our knowledge of the Norse religion stems abundantly from. The Norse peoples wrote myths involving the creation of the universe being ongoing and participatory, the consequences earned for winning a noble battle, and the importance of helping the Gods defeat the giants even though they are aware of their preordained defeat. In the Norse creation myth, we see the sacredness of their beliefs and continuous acts in keeping the cosmos perpetual through every exploit and action made.

If we are to give precedence to the notion that a soul can live multiple lives, then we must also face the reality that not all of our past lives were good people. Sometimes, we are born programmed for evil.
