Heimdall: Genetic Link Between Gods And Humans – Once On A Journey – Do We Ever Know His Role Or Roles On This Planet?
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Interestingly, there are no cult memories of Heimdall being worshiped, and it is doubtful that any cult of Heimdall existed at all during the Viking Age. Apparently, he existed only in myths.
It is possible that in much earlier periods he occupied a more significant place in the world of the gods, but nothing is known about such a special place. Heimdall (from Old Norse Heimdallr -"the beginning of everything" or Heim Dall -"the tree of the world") is, in Norse mythology, the God guarding the Rainbow Bridge called Bifrost, which is the entrance to Asgard.
We know much about him from Snorri Sturlason (1179–1241), a renowned Icelandic historian, and from the skaldic poems. Despite extensive study, he remains a mystery to those who have proposed theories about his purpose on this planet.
