Good day!
Dear community members!
Help answer the question about the mythical bird in the Norse mythology, which is companion of the sun god and at the same time - symbol of the sun .
InsideWeb find out more or less intelligible only a fragment of a description of the world tree Yggdrasil:
«Yggdrasil sits at the crown wise eagle - the personification of power," the king of birds ", the satellite solar gods, and gods of heaven and the war a symbol of royalty, grandeur, nobility, strength, power, spirituality. Like all birds, the eagle is associated with heaven, but he has this relationship more strong: he - the lord air that can reach the sun. Eagle - the sacred bird of the thunder god. Between the eyes of an eagle sitting Vedrfelnir hawk - a bird of the sun, solar companion gods, capable, like an eagle, unblinking look at the star, the embodiment of aristocratic power and nobility. " ( Channel )
Yggdrasil in Icelandic manuscript of XVII century
and it is unclear whether this eagle or a hawk - companion of the sun god and a symbol of the sun?
How to respond?
Thanks in advance!
