How Uniform Was the Old Norse Religion?
II. Old Norse Myth and Society HOW UNIFORM WAS THE OLD NORSE RELIGION? Stefan Brink ne often gets the impression from handbooks on Old Norse culture and religion that the pagan religion that was supposed to have been in Oexistence all over pre-Christian Scandinavia and Iceland was rather homogeneous. Due to the lack of written sources, it becomes difficult to say whether the ‘religion’ — or rather mythology, eschatology, and cult practice, which medieval sources refer to as forn siðr (‘ancient custom’) — changed over time. For obvious reasons, it is very difficult to identify a ‘pure’ Old Norse religion, uncorroded by Christianity since Scandinavia did not exist in a cultural vacuum.1 What we read in the handbooks is based almost entirely on Snorri Sturluson’s representation and interpretation in his Edda of the pre-Christian religion of Iceland, together with the ambiguous mythical and eschatological world we find represented in the Poetic Edda and in the filtered form Saxo Grammaticus presents in his Gesta Danorum. This stance is more or less presented without reflection in early scholarship, but the bias of the foundation is more readily acknowledged in more recent works.2 In the textual sources we find a considerable pantheon of gods and goddesses — Þórr, Óðinn, Freyr, Baldr, Loki, Njo3rðr, Týr, Heimdallr, Ullr, Bragi, Freyja, Frigg, Gefjon, Iðunn, et cetera — and euhemerized stories of how the gods acted and were characterized as individuals and as a collective. Since the sources are Old Icelandic (Saxo’s work appears to have been built on the same sources) one might assume that this religious world was purely Old 1 See the discussion in Gro Steinsland, Norrøn religion: Myter, riter, samfunn (Oslo: Pax, 2005). -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT DEVIANT BURIALS IN VIKING-AGE SCANDINAVIA The thesis brings together information yielded from archaeology and other sources to provide an overall picture of the types of burial practices encountered during the Viking-Age in Scandinavia. From this, an attempt is made to establish deviancy. Comparative evidence, such as literary, runic, legal and folkloric evidence will be used critically to shed perspective on burial practices and the artefacts found within the graves. The thesis will mostly cover burials from the Viking Age (late 8th century to the mid- 11th century), but where the comparative evidence dates from other periods, its validity is discussed accordingly. Two types of deviant burial emerged: the criminal and the victim. A third type, which shows distinctive irregularity yet lacks deviancy, is the healer/witch burial. -
Kamil Stoch Z Nowym Rekordem Polski
ATLAS / Aktualności / Kamil Stoch z nowym rekordem Polski Kamil Stoch z nowym rekordem Polski Finałowe zawody Pucharu Świata w Planicy nie przyniosły polskim skoczkom podium, jednak końcówka sezonu 2014/2015 obfitowała w wiele zwrotów akcji i niespodzianek, także w kontekście naszych zawodników. Kamil Stoch, plasujący się w klasyfikacji generalnej na 9. miejscu, pobił polski rekord słoweńskiej skoczni, przesuwając granicę na 238 metr. Po pierwszej serii w piątkowym konkursie indywidualnym Kamil Stoch zajmował 7. pozycję (skoczył na odległość 228,5 m). Dobry wynik osiągnął też Klemens Murańka, który oddał najdłuższy skok w swojej karierze – 221,5 m. Po drugiej serii (212,5 m) podwójny medalista z Soczi zajął ostatecznie 8. lokatę. W konkursie zwyciężył Słoweniec Peter Prevc, zaraz za nim znalazł się jego rodak, Jurij Tepes, a na trzecim – Austriak Stefan Kraft. Sobota i konkurs drużynowy przyniosły Kamilowi Stochowi niezwykły sukces – sportowiec pobił polski rekord skoczni w Planicy, przesuwając granicę na 238 m. Polska reprezentacja wystartowała w składzie: Kamil Stoch, Piotr Żyła, Aleksander Zniszczoł i Klemens Murańka. Pierwszą serię rozpoczął Piotr Żyła, lądując na 230 metrze. Następnie skok oddał Aleksander Zniszczoł, skacząc zaledwie na odległość 149,5 metra. Po tym skoku Polacy spadli na piątą lokatę, jednak kolejny zawodnik, Klemens Murańka, osiągając wynik 221,5 metra, umocnił pozycję naszych skoczków. Kibice najdłużej musieli czekać na skok Kamila Stocha, opóźniany przez decyzje sędziów umotywowaną trudnymi warunkami pogodowymi. Stoch wylądował na odległości 218 metrów. Ze względu na pogodę, sędziowie zrezygnowali z drugiej serii uznając wyniki pierwszej za decydujące. Po sobotnim konkursie Polacy znaleźli się na 4. miejscu (i na 6. w klasyfikacji generalnej skoków drużynowych). -
Botaniske Verdier I Dovrefjell Området, Hedmark

Det er bildet av teksten som er korrekt, ikke den kopierbare teksten. Botaniske verdier i Dovrefjell-området, Dato: Hedmark 26.03.98 Forfatter(e): Antall sider: Reidar Elven og Eli Fremstad 34 Prosjektansvarlig: ISSN-nr: Hans Chr. Gjerlaug ISSN 0802-7013 Finansiering: ISBN-nr: Sammendrag: Rapporten oppsummerer botaniske verdier i form av flora og vegetasjonstyper som er kjent innenfor et planleggingsområde i Hedmark som er fastsatt i forbindelse med arbeidet med sikte på utvidelse av Dovrefjell nasjonalpark med eventuelle tilgrensende landskapsvernområder. Området omfatter deler av Tynset og Folldal kommuner, samt mindre deler av Oppdal (Sør-Trøndelag) og Dovre (Oppland) kommuner. Deler av området er dårlig undersøkt, særlig m.h.t. vegetasjon. For Folldalsfjellene foreligger det en vegetasjonsundersøkelse fra 1914. Innerdalen ble grundig undersøkt i 1970-årene. Betydelige botaniske verdier gikk tapt ved oppdemmingen av Innerdalsmagasinet. Planleggingsområdet i Hedmark rommer store botaniske verdier, til dels elementer som er dårlig dekt eller som ikke er representert ellers innenfor det totale vurderingsområdet for verneplanarbeidet i Dovrefjell. Fortsatt beite er viktig for å beholde preget av tradisjonelt drevne kulturlandskap i flere av dalførene. Utvidelsen vil kunne gi et verneområde som strekker seg fra klart oseanisk seksjon (02) til svakt kontinental seksjon (Cl), og som kan bli ett av de mest varierte i Europa med hensyn til klima og naturtyper. Floraen østover er delvis en uttynning av Dovrefjellfloraen. Rapporten gir også et sammendrag av tilleggsundersøkelser i 1996 innenfor det planleggingsområdet som ble behandlet av Elven et al. -

Re-Christian Scandinavian Royalty. from the Legendary Kings P to the 11Th Century Kingship
Revista Română de Studii Baltice și Nordice / The Romanian Journal for Baltic and Nordic Studies, ISSN 2067-1725, Vol. 6, Issue 2 (2014): pp. 95-104 RE-CHRISTIAN SCANDINAVIAN ROYALTY. FROM THE LEGENDARY KINGS P TO THE 11TH CENTURY KINGSHIP Alexandra Airinei “Alexandru-Ioan Cuza” University in Iași, E-mail: [email protected] Acknowledgements This paper has been presented at the ”Alexandru-Ioan Cuza” University Paper Session in October 2013. The participant has attended the Summer School of Nordic and Baltic Studies A piece of culture, a culture of peace. The publication is supported by EEA Grants, contract no 4/22.07.2014. Abstract: This article focuses, as the title already expresses it, on the Pre-Christian Scandinavian Royalty, not from a political point of view, but from the perspective of what we nowadays call ideology of power. This means that we will try to identify the whole system of beliefs regarding the ideal ruler and the concepts that support his right to the throne and to the exercise of his authority . The ideas used to build the image of the perfect kingship in the pagan Scandinavia continued to exist long after the difficult process of christianisation, thing which meant in fact that the conversion was never fully completed and that this area remained distinct from the rest of the continent during the Middle Ages and even later. Even if the article refers to the Northern monarchy up to the 11th century, we included in our references a 13th century work allegedly written by the king Håkon Håkonsson, “Konungs Skuggsja”, to show this particular aspect: the fact that the pagan ideas were deeply rooted in the endemic society, the fact that they still shaped the concept of the perfect king and that there was no breach between the Christian period and the previous one, but rather a balanced continuity. -
The Transition Zone of Mountain Permafrost on Dovrefjell, Southern Norway
Permafrost, Phillips, Springman & Arenson (eds) © 2003 Swets & Zeitlinger, Lisse, ISBN 90 5809 582 7 The transition zone of mountain permafrost on Dovrefjell, southern Norway J.L. Sollid Department of Physical Geography, University of Oslo, Norway K. Isaksen Norwegian Meteorological Institute, Oslo, Norway T. Eiken Department of Physical Geography, University of Oslo, Norway R.S. Ødegård Gjøvik University College, Gjøvik, Norway ABSTRACT: A monitoring programme was started in the autumn 2001 on Dovrefjell, southern Norway, to measure ground temperatures in 11 boreholes approximately 9 m deep along an altitudinal transect across the mountain permafrost transition zone. This is the first transect of this type set up in Scandinavia. Borehole tem- peratures are highly correlated with elevation. Measurements of mean ground temperatures at 8.5 m depth on exposed sites show that the lower limit of the mountain permafrost is on the high side of 1300 m a.s.l. The mean ground temperature elevation gradient was found to be Ϫ0.7°C/100 m. This gradient was not dependent on snow depth, and differs from the mean annual air temperature lapse rate (Ϫ0.44°C/100 m). The gradient differences may be due to stronger turbulent fluxes at high elevations during the snow-free period. 1 INTRODUCTION Dovrefjell (62°15ЈN, 9°20ЈE) is a mountainous area situated in southern Norway with Snøhetta (2286 m a.s.l.) as the highest mountain (Figures 1 and 2). Dovrefjell is an area rich in deglaciation terrain forms. There are well developed moraines (the Knutshø moraine-system) dating from about 9600 BP and gen- erated by the last activity of the Weichselian ice sheet in southern Norway (Sollid, 1964). -
