Óðinn and His Cosmic Cross
Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Norrænt meistaranám í víkinga- og miðaldafræðum ÓÐINN AND HIS COSMIC CROSS Sacrifice and Inception of a God at the Axis of the Universe Lokaverkefni til MA-gráðu í Norrænt meistaranám í víkinga- og miðaldafræðum Jesse Benjamin Barber Kt.: 030291-2639 Leiðbeinandi: Gísli Sigurðsson Luke John Murphy May 2017 1 Acknowledgements: I would like to thank Gísli Siggurðsson for his primary supervision and guidance throughout the writng of this thesis. I would also like to thank Luke John Murphy for his secondary supervision and vital advice. Thanks to Terry Gunnell for his recommendations on literature and thanks to Jens Peter Schjødt, who helped me at the early stages of my research. I would also like to thank all of the staff within the Viking and Medieval Norse Studies Master’s Program, thank you for two unforgettable years of exploration into this field. Thank you to my family and friends around the world. Your love and support has been a source of strength for me at the most difficult times. I am grateful to everyone, who has helped me throughout these past two years and throughout my education leading up to them. 2 Abstract: Stanzas 138 through 141 of the eddic poem Hávamál illustrate a scene of Óðinn’s self- sacrifice or sjálfsfórn, by hanging himself from a tree to obtain the runes. These four stanzas, which mark the beginning of the section Rúnatals þáttr, constitute some of the most controversial and important eddic poetry. Concerning the passage, Jens Peter Schjødt says it is one of the most interesting scenes in the entire Old Norse Corpus from the perspective of Religious History. -
Effect of Chilled Temperature and Salt Concentration on Shelf Life of Herring (Clupea Harengus)
PO Box 1390, Skulagata 4 120 Reykjavik, Iceland FINAL REPORT 2008 EFFECT OF CHILLED TEMPERATURE AND SALT CONCENTRATION ON SHELF LIFE OF HERRING (CLUPEA HARENGUS) Won Sik An Fisheries Information Division, Ministry of Fisheries Democratic People´s Republic of Korea Botongmun-Dong, Central District, Pyongyang E-mail: [email protected] Supervisors: Kristin A. Thorarinsdottir ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research Asbjorn Jonsson ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research Irek Klonowski ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research ABSTRACT Keeping the quality of fish and fish products at its best is the most important issue in fish processing. Based on the trend demanding that salted fish reduce salt content for dietary reasons as well as for further processing, this project focused on the extension of shelf life by investigating quality changes during brining in the cold storage of herring (Clupea harengus), the one of the popular foods in DPR Korea. Instead of the traditional salting method, an innovative method has been suggested called cold brining. Cold brining is a processing method expected either to provide a good salty flavour or to extend shelf life for further products by delaying microbiological growth and the chemical changes of the co- operation of ice and salt. In both experiments using fresh whole herring and fillets, five different brine concentrations of 8, 12, 14, 16 and 18%, and five different temperatures of 2, -1, -2, -4, -8 and -24 °C were used for 25 and 18 days, respectively, to select the optimum conditions for cold brining. The results were revealed that the 14% brine at -8 °C can be regarded as optimum condition for pre-cooling of herring. -

Nerthus, That Is, Mother Earth
Odin’s Wife: Mother Earth in Germanic Mythology SAMPLE CHAPTER © 2018 William P. Reaves II. Nerthus, that is, Mother Earth “Tacitus’ much-quoted account in Germania ch. 40 of the ceremonies related to the goddess Nerthus in the area around Schleswig-Holstein or Jylland is of particular interest here for several reasons. First of all, it suggests that the images of the Bronze Age petroglyphs depicting the hieros gamos and processions related to a fertility deity had parallels in southern Scandinavia as late as AD 100, when Tacitus wrote his account. Secondly, it provides the first reliable evidence that the ceremonies were now associated with a named goddess, who must therefore have had her own mythology and background. This in turn implies that enacted rituals to do with the goddess probably had a mythological parallel.” —Terry Gunnell, The Origins of Drama in Scandinavia, (1995), p.53. In literature, Terra Mater (Mother Earth) first appears as a distinct figure of the old heathen religion in the Germania. Despite intense scholarly debate over the motivations of its author, Germania, written by the Roman historian Tacitus around 98 AD, was probably intended as an accurate account of the customs and conditions of the Germanic tribes who posed a threat on the northern border of the Roman Empire for several hundred years. While his moral observations of the Germanic tribes in contrast to the Roman way of life have led some scholars to propose that this was his chief aim in writing it, this is not sufficient as a general interpretation of the text.1 Not only does Tacitus criticize the Germanic way of life almost as often as he praises it, but much of the material has nothing to do with moral issues and cannot be explained simply as filler. -
Hogbacks: Christian and Pagan Imagery on Viking Age Monuments
Hogbacks: Christian and pagan imagery on Viking Age monuments Alby Stone investigates the origins, symbolism and possible meaning of these unusual Viking carved stones. OGBACKS ARE ARRESTING monuments. Their unique Hdesign makes them interesting as artefacts in their own right, but they also raise important questions with regard to the iconography of both paganism and Christianity in northern England during the Viking Age.

Marinens Rolle I Norsk Polarhistorie
MARINENS ROLLE I NORSK POLARHISTORIE En kort introduksjon fra Marinemuseet i anledning markeringen av polarjubileet 2011 med vekt på ekspedisjonene og deltagerne fra Marinen. Marinemuseet 1 Marinens rolle i norsk polarhistorie “Seier venter den, som har alt i orden - held kalder man det. Nederlag er en absolutt følge for den, som har for- sømt at ta de nødvendige forholdsregler i tide - uheld kaldes det” Roald Amundsen En defi nisjon av hva som faller innenfor polarhistorien kan det være delte meninger om. Oppfatningen av hva som kan regnes inn i begrepet har trolig endret seg noe etter hvert som nye områderområder har blitt funnet og aktivt tatt i bruk. Men de fl este er trolig enige om at Norge har spilt- og fortsatt spiller en viktig rolle i polarhistorien. Kanskje er det til og med riktig å si at vår rolle som polarnasjon har vært- og er en viktig del av vår nasjonale identitet.identitet. Til denne rollen og identiteten kan det knyttes fl ere dimensjoner som av ulike grupper vektlegges forskjellig. Fiske og fangst er en dimensjon, nye sjøveier for handelsskip er en annen og vitenskaplige undersøkelser en tredje. Mest kjent og kanskje også viktigst for mange er likevel de dristige ekspedisjo- nene inn i det ukjente, oppdagelsene av nye områder og selve det å være først.2007 var defi nert som det internasjonale polaråret og fra norsk side ble det igangsatt en rekke vitenskapelige prosjekter som først avsluttes våren 2011. Inneværende år, 2011, har Regjeringen defi nert som Nansen-Amundsen-året. At dette har fått langt større fokus understreker at oppdager-dimensjonen nok er den viktigste for folk fl est.En lang rekke institusjoner jobberjobber med ulike aspekter av polarhistorien og gjennom sine egne publikasjoner og hjemmesider formidles dette til publikum.
