Each lesson will cover each deity, or deities where appropriate. For each lesson I will cover the importance of the
deity/deities in Norse Mythology as well as correspondences and a few other things. I will cover brief stories of the deities
in their part of Norse Mythology. I will cover some of their correspondences as well. I will also cover anything else that
I decide to add into the lessons. There will be a lecture in mid-week for each lesson. I will give assignments out then
and they are due before I send you the information for the next lesson. If you are unable to attend the lecture I will be
able to send you the entire transcript for the lecture.
Final Exam: CLOSED BOOK/CLOSED NOTES!!!!!
For this class I would recommend a notebook or binder that you can keep notes in. I would also recommend either a pen
or pencil as well as a highlighter. There is no required text for this class. Enjoy class and see you in chats during the
week.
