  • Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Medieval Icelandic Studies Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature A Brief Study Ritgerð til MA-prófs í íslenskum miðaldafræðum Li Tang Kt.: 270988-5049 Leiðbeinandi: Torfi H. Tulinius September 2015 Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my supervisor, Torfi H. Tulinius for his confidence and counsels which have greatly encouraged my writing of this paper. Because of this confidence, I have been able to explore a domain almost unstudied which attracts me the most. Thanks to his counsels (such as his advice on the “Blóð-Egill” Episode in Knýtlinga saga and the reading of important references), my work has been able to find its way through the different numbers. My thanks also go to Haraldur Bernharðsson whose courses on Old Icelandic have been helpful to the translations in this paper and have become an unforgettable memory for me. I‟m indebted to Moritz as well for our interesting discussion about the translation of some paragraphs, and to Capucine and Luis for their meticulous reading. Any fault, however, is my own. Abstract It is generally agreed that some numbers such as three and nine which appear frequently in the two Eddas hold special significances in Norse mythology. Furthermore, numbers appearing in sagas not only denote factual quantity, but also stand for specific symbolic meanings. This tradition of number symbolism could be traced to Pythagorean thought and to St. Augustine‟s writings. But the result in Old Norse literature is its own system influenced both by Nordic beliefs and Christianity. This double influence complicates the intertextuality in the light of which the symbolic meanings of numbers should be interpreted.

Because of this, historian Ronald Hutton shows, succeeding British generations have been free to reimagine, reinterpret, and reinvent the Druids. Druids have been remembered at different times as patriots, scientists, philosophers, or priests; sometimes portrayed as corrupt, bloodthirsty, or ignorant, they were also seen as fomenters of rebellion. Hutton charts how the Druids have been written in and out of history, archaeology, and the public consciousness for some years, with particular focus on the romantic period, when Druids completely dominated notions of British prehistory. Sparkling with legends and images, filled with new perspectives on ancient and modern times, this book is a fascinating cultural study of Druids as catalysts in British history.

This is what is commonly being described as the event. Why 21st December 2020? There's natural scientific significance of this date with relation to our solar system. The Azimuthal Equidistant Geocentric Earth model, the sun coils up and around the electromagnetic dome that encapsulates our earth for the summers and coils down towards the end of our solar year to its southern most position of the Tropic of Capricorn. And on December 21 is at its lowest Zenith or Y axis point, the farthest out from our land centre, and the closest to the earth vertically. This is what is known as the winter solstice, from a northern hemisphere perspective, and the summer solstice from the southern hemisphere perspective. K A R E N S T E V E N S . C O M .

The light illuminates the spirals in a changing pattern throughout the year and marks the solstices and equinoxes with particular images. The assembly can also be used to observe lunar phenomena. It is unique in archeoastronomy in utilizing the changing height of the midday sun throughout the year rather than its rising and setting points. The construct appears to be the result of deliberate work of the Anasazi Indians, the builders of the great pueblos in the area. Near the top of an isolated butte in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, three large stone slabs collimate sunlight in vertical patterns of light on two spiral petroglyphs carved on the cliff behind them. The light illuminates the spirals each day near noon in a changing pattern throughout the year and marks the solstices and equinoxes with particular images.

  • Summer Solstice
    Summer Solstice The equator is an imaginary line around the middle of the Earth. Above the equator is the northern hemisphere. Below the equator is the southern hemisphere. Can you imagine a pole going through Earth from the North Pole to the South Pole? This pole would be the Earth’s axis. The Earth spins around this axis. The axis is not vertical; it tilts the Earth over. This means the Earth appears to lean over. The Earth orbits or moves on a path around the Sun. This takes around one year. At different times of the year, as it journeys around the Sun, some places on Earth are nearer to the Sun than others. If you live above the equator, Earth is tilted closer to the Sun in the summer, giving more light and heat. In winter, these countries are further away from the sun and have less light and heat. Spring Sun Winter Summer Autumn This diagram shows the seasons in the northern hemisphere, above the equator. Can you see how the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun in summer? Page 1 of 3 Summer Solstice What is the Summer Solstice? The Summer Solstice happens when the North Pole is most tilted towards the sun. It marks the change when days in the northern hemisphere begin to grow shorter. The Summer Solstice happens around 21st June. This is also known as midsummer and is the longest day and shortest night of the year in the northern hemisphere. Summer Solstice in the Far North Solstice Celebrations Around the Summer Solstice, countries For thousands of years, there have in the Arctic Circle, like parts of been solstice celebrations around Norway, Finland, Greenland and the world.
