Janus is Bifrons. In Norse mythology He is Heimdall.

Is Janus also Heimdal?

Yes, he is Heimdall. However, in the Norse, the pathway that Heimdal Guards, which is Bifrost, is very close to Bifrons in both language and meaning.

The Rainbow Path is essentially related to transitions between the worlds, all of which are ruled by Lord Janus.

This Rainbow Path connects two things, the upper and lower world, present and past. Janus is "two faced" and Bifrost is the bridge that connects the two worlds, respectively, which is related to the same concept.

As the lord of transitions, he remains "ever watchful", being the "bridge" through which things take place in present and future.

Some other information about it


Heimdall or Heimdallr - born of the nine waves, daughters of Aegir and Ran (the father was probably Odin). The father of three layers of humanity: slaves (aka Thrall, having no land of their own), Bóndi (core of society, formed by farmers and craftsmen in the Scandinavian Viking Age, and constituted a widespread middle class) and jarls (lords).

God of clarity and righteousness. Guardian of Bifrost (and therefore also Asgard) and temples. After his birth, his mothers immunized his body with the power of the earth, cold sea water, and boar's blood.

He saw and heard perfectly (he can hear grass as it grows on the earth, wool as it grows on sheep). He had the ability to shapeshift. He knew the past and the future. Famous for great martial arts. He was considered the richest of the gods.

He had the power over the runes (it is unclear whether he got it earlier from Odin) and it was he who passed it on to people. From then on, the man who used magic runes was called Rig.

Palace: Himinbjörg in Asgard.

Perhaps identical with the god Irmin, which would prove that he was the personification of the world (Heimdall = Yggdrasill).

Only he can blow the horn of Gjallarhorn, which is supposed to be a sign for the divine armies to gather before Ragnarök (until then, Gjallarhorn remains hidden in Mimir's Well at the roots of Yggdrasill). During Ragnarök, he will kill Loki, but he will also die by Loki's hand.
