A bit off the nice Satanism debate you have here, but let's go a bit Norse. I noticed something in the story that my sources don't agree on.

''“All of this you see,” Kvasir explained to his younger brother, “all of Midgard, was once Ymir, born from venom. Father Odin made the earth from his flesh and the ocean from his blood. We truly are the sons of Odin.”'' -Sons of Odin

The giant Yme (or Ymir, same giant) was killed by his three grand-children- Vilje, Ve and Odin. They defeated him in a war, and made the giant's (Yme's) flesh to land, his blood to seas and rivers, his bones to mountains, his splattered brains to stars and so on. Odin never made the earth from his own flesh- bus he and his sibilings slayed theis self-mating grandfather (yes, weird) and made Midgard out of him.

I would gladly see the sources that state things otherwise, because all of my sources agree on this creation myth. Odin never donated his body for the creation of Midgard. Unless you regard his self-mating grandfather's flesh as a part of Odin, but then mankind is Yme's descendants, not Odin's.
