References To Norse Myths In The Technic History

I do not know how many such references there are. Here are at least five:

Yggdrasil
Valhalla
Freya
Woden

"'No one stirred for a time that went on eternally, in that Fimbul wind.'" ("The Master Key," p. 294)

The Technic History assumes scientific cosmology but refers metaphorically to mythological cosmologies. In the Time Patrol series, Norse mythology is welcomed as "'...another whole universe!'"

See Mimir And The Milky Way for three more references.

Kaor, Paul!

Don't forget the Mimirian System, which we see in A CIRCUS OF HELLS. The names of the sun of that system and its planets were taken from Scandinavian mythology.
