Kisah Penciptaan(Norwegia)
Feb 22nd
In the beginning was Muspell, the realm of fire.
It is a place of dreadful light and heat. Only its natives, the Fire Giants, can tolerate its flames. Surt, a Fire Giant, guards Muspell’s border, armed with a flaming sword. At the end of the era, at Ragnarok, Surt and his companions will destroy all the Gods and and their world with fire.
Outside of Muspell lies the void called Ginnungagap, and north of Ginnungagap is Niflheim, the world of awesome dark and cold. In this world are eleven rivers flowing from a great well. The rivers are frozen and occupy Ginnungagap. When the wind, rain, ice, and cold meet the heat and fire of Muspell in the center of Ginnungagap, a place of light, air, and warmth is born.
Where fire and ice first met, thawing drops appeared. Beneath the melting ice lay a Frost Giant named Ymir. Ymir slept, falling into a sweat. Under his left arm there grew a couple, male and female Giants. One of his legs begot a son with the other.
The melting frost became a cow called Audhumla from whose udders ran four rivers of milk that fed Ymir.
After one day of licking salty ice blocks, she freed a man’s hair from the ice. After two days, his head appeared. On the third day the whole man was released from the ice. The man’s name was Buri. Buri had a son named Bor. Bor married Bestla, the daughter of a Giant, with whom he had three sons. Odin was the first, Vili the second, and Vé the third. Odin, in association with his brothers, is the ruler of heaven and earth. He is the greatest and most famous of all Gods.
Kisah Penciptaan(Yunani)

Menurut Mitologi Yunani, pada awalnya hanya ada Chaos atau kekacauan dan kehampaan.. Lalu dari kehampaan itu tiba-tiba muncullah Nyx (malam) dan Erebus, tempat tak dikenal yang ditinggali oleh kematian.. Semuanya kosong, sunyi, tak berakhir, dan gelap..
Lalu dari Chaos, muncullah Love (rasa cinta) yang memulai timbulnya keteraturan.. Dari cinta, lahirlah Cahaya dan Siang.. Setelah itu, Gaea (Bumi) tercipta..
Kemudian, Erebus bersama Nyx, melahirkan Ether (heavenly light) dan Day (Earthly Light).. Selain itu, Nyx sendiri juga menciptakan Doom, Fate, Death, Sleep, Dream, Nemesis, dan banyak hal lainnya yang mendatangi manusia dari kegelapan..
Sementara itu, Gaea melahirkan Uranus (langit).. Kemudian Uranus menjadi pasangan Gaea, menyelimutinya di seluruh sisi tubuhnya.. Bersama-sama mereka melahirkan tiga Cyclopes, Hecatoncheires (Raksasa berkepala 50 dan bertangan seratus), dan duabelas Titan..
Namun ternyata, Uranus adalah seorang suami dan ayah yang jahat.. Ia membenci Hecatoncheires dan mengurung mereka dengan menekan mereka ke tempat tersembunyi di bumi, Rahim Gaea.. Hal itu membuat Gaea marah dan mulai merencanakan perlawanan terhadap suaminya.. Gaea membuat sebuah senjata tajam dari batu dan menyuruh anak-anaknya keduabelas Titan, untuk menyerang Uranus.. Namun mereka terlalu takut terhadap Uranus dan tidak berani melakukannya, kecuali Titan yang paling muda, Cronus..
