Creation of the World
In Norse mythology there are 9 worlds that are divided among three levels:
Upper level
•Asgard (Aesir, the land of the gods),
•Alfheim (elves),
•Vanaheim (Vanir),
Middle Level
•Midgard (men),
•Jotunheim (giants),
•Svartalfaheim (dark-elves),
•Nithavellir (dwarves),
Lower Level
•Muspelheim (fire, a bright, flaming, hot world in the southern region), and
•Niflheim (the dead, the lowest level)
all held together by the world tree, Ygdrasil. But the nine worlds and Ygdrasil were not there in the beginning.
