Edouard Brasey: Mythology or Heresy ?
What happen when a french scholar give his version of the Niebelungen Ring ? That:

Is that Tetralogy:
- Les chants de la Walkyrie (The Walkyrie's Songs )
- Le sommeil du dragon (The Dragon's Sleep)
- Le trésor du Rhin (The Rhein's Treasure)
- Le brasier des Dieux (The God's Blaze)
supposed to be the french version of Wagner's one ?
When you start reading the 1st tome, it seems. Edouard Brasey knows his job and made serious research to rewrite a classical in today's heroïc fantasy style. Moreover, he attempts to make the mythe a legend, near the the History. Just look how he fits Midgard to actual Eurasia: http://www.lamaledictiondelanneau.com/site/carte_des_neuf_mondes_&600&lma01.html?19 #
So things starts well with Brasey rewriting the "Rheingold" part. Debt of Wotan/Odin, tricks from Loki/Loge, curse of the Ring, Golden Apples of Youth. The Walkyrie are riding flying white horse but can fly by themself using swanfeather mantel than give then an angelic look, althrough they appear as white clouds for mortal. The shout "Hoyo, hoyo-yoyo" (presumably on a wagnerian tune) over battlefield and get souls with a kiss.
He even mention mystical origine of Berserker, and give a description of a "Blood Eagle" ceremony

Full genealogy of Aesirs, Vanirs, including the names (and translation/meaning) of the 9 Walkyries. Brasey book is realy one of the best sources for french only reader. Then the "out-time" myths finish, starts the saga and the story collapse. Brasey settle the story in Frankenland which actually still exists
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franken_(Region)
Land means region do not confuse Frankreich is the Franks State or today France. The Wolsung dynasty are really inspired by the "proto-french" Merovingian. But as Arminus (one of "Historical" Siegfried) tribe and allies would later form the Frankish Alliance, why not using trying to remember the French (+ Quebecan) their german origin ?
So as the children of Wotan and "purple eyes girl" the Wolsung are trying to unit the german in a Frankish federation, but Frigga discover this and take malicious pleasure to make the franken queen sterile. Quite doubful for the godess of fertility, familly and weeding to punish this kind of official, faithful union !
Wotan ask his prefered Walkyrie (Brunhild) to bring a Gold Apple to the queen that eventually turn the queen into a hot nymphomiac queen queen of f...ing (hot night description included !). At her arrival Brunhild encounter Swanhild (uh, isn't she supposed to be Siegfried daughter ?) that will betrayed her after Hunding (kind of weredog, rival of the Wolsung dynasty) will gain her loyalty by...raping her !
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swanhild_(Mythologie)
Coming back to the Franks royal bedroom. The Queen gave birth to a son, who once adult cannot find a girl to give him children.
Brunhild who already assisted the queen to give birth, not only acted as Marry Poopins for the Prince but moreover volunteers to deflower him ! Rape, trangeneration sex, what will be the next ? (Nevertheless that's true the "Historical" Brunhild married with her husband nefew after his death).
Maybe because the prince is to shy, he cannot do it with the Walkyrie despite she is willing (not like after the weeding with King Gunther/Guntram of Burgundy). No problem for F#c-King Wotan who take the aspect of the prince (without the need of Tarnhelm !) and make his daughter pregnant (now inceste, Brasey has definitive freudian obsessions !).
Nine month after Brunhild give birth to... twins: Siegmund and Siegline. The Prince, not afraid anymore to disrespect Brunhild virginity, follows Wotan order and make her giving several other children. But despite of this great family environnement, since childhood, "Mund & Line" are sexually attracted each other (now child sex...).
A giant bitch (dog female, not another vixen), the mother of Hunding will all eat all children leaving Siegmund and Siegline alive. No problem by making love, they will forget all these bad stuff ! Really Brasey makes confusion between Wotan & Frigga and Jupiter & Juno. The second part of the book could really be used as the synopsis of a porn movie.
The infidelity of Wotan were to get rid of a burning curse, not for familly allowance ! Frigga is the Archtype of the good familly mother, the stepmother of Cinderella. Wotan as the "perfect loving-dad" would never touch or let any man touching Brunhild, even Siegfried despite of been Wotan brood, had to fight a dragon and cross a ring of fire.
As a culture of "blood-right", the german/norse one doesn't joke with sex, expeciality when children conception is involve. The 2nd part of book is as rubbish as the 1st one was jewel.
