What is Kvasir?
'''Kvasir''' is a [[Wisdom|wise]] god in [[Norse mythology]]. He was made when the spit of the [[Vanir]] gods and [[Aesir]] gods was mixed after their battle. He became the new god of [[knowledge]] and [[diplomacy]]. Kvasir walked the world spreading his great wisdom to any who asked for it. He was killed by two [[Dwarf (mythology)|dwarves]], Fjalar and Galar, who mixed his [[blood]] with [[honey]] to make a powerful [[mead]] that inspired any who drank it to speak with wisdom and [[poetry]]. [[Odin]] drank all the mead to gain its knowledge. He spilled a few drops which fell into [[Midgard]] and was said to be the source of all the bad poets and artists. Odin is said to give the mead to those he feels worthy and this is the source for all the great poets. He is also considered to be the god of inspiration. {{Norse mythology}} {{religion-stub}} [[Category:Norse gods and goddesses]]
