  • Old Germanic Heritage in Metal Music
    Lorin Renodeyn Historical Linguistics and Literature Studies Old Germanic Heritage In Metal Music A Comparative Study Of Present-day Metal Lyrics And Their Old Germanic Sources Promotor: Prof. Dr. Luc de Grauwe Vakgroep Duitse Taalkunde Preface In recent years, heathen past of Europe has been experiencing a small renaissance. Especially the Old Norse / Old Germanic neo-heathen (Ásatrú) movement has gained popularity in some circles and has even been officially accepted as a religion in Iceland and Norway among others1. In the world of music, this renaissance has led to the development of several sub-genres of metal music, the so-called ‘folk metal’, ‘Viking Metal’ and ‘Pagan Metal’ genres. Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank my promoter, prof. dr. Luc de Grauwe, for allowing me to choose the subject for this dissertation and for his guidance in the researching process. Secondly I would like to thank Sofie Vanherpen for volunteering to help me with practical advice on the writing process, proof reading parts of this dissertation, and finding much needed academic sources. Furthermore, my gratitude goes out to Athelstan from Forefather and Sebas from Heidevolk for their co- operation in clarifying the subjects of songs and providing information on the sources used in the song writing of their respective bands. I also want to thank Cris of Svartsot for providing lyrics, translations, track commentaries and information on how Svartsot’s lyrics are written. Last but not least I want to offer my thanks to my family and friends who have pointed out interesting facts and supported me in more than one way during the writing of this dissertation.

Music; M. Music Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin December 2011 Acknowledgements I would like to gratefully acknowledge both Tom Garza and Bella Jordan for their support and encouragement. Their combined expertise has made this research much more fruitful than it might have been otherwise. I would also like to thank Michael Pesenson to whom I will forever be indebted for giving me the push to “study what I like” and who made time for my magicians and shamans even when he was up to his neck in sibyls. iii Abstract Evidence of Shamanism in Russian Folklore Jason Edward Roberts, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 Supervisor: Thomas Jesús Garza A wealth of East Slavic folklore has been collected throughout Russia, Ukraine, and Belorussia over a period of more than a hundred years. Among the many examinations that have been conducted on the massive corpus of legends, fabulates, memorates, and charms is an attempt to gain some understanding of indigenous East Slavic religion. Unfortunately, such examination of these materials has been overwhelmingly guided by political agenda and cultural bias. As early as 1938, Yuri Sokolov suggested in his book, Russian Folklore, that some of Russia’s folk practices bore a remarkable resemblance to shamanic practices, commenting specifically on a trance like state which some women induced in themselves by means of an whirling dance.

    Section: CHEMISTRY SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF CINNAMIC ACIDS AMIDES Tsenka Milkova a,b * , Maya Spasova c, Galya Ivanova b, Stefan Philipov b, Lubomira Nikolaeva-Glomb d, Galina Radeva c (Plenary report) aSouth-West University “Neofit Rilski” Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria b Institute of Organic Chemistry with Centre of Phytochemistry, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria cInstitute of Molecular Biology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria d The Stephan Angeloff Institute of Microbiology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract: Seventeen cinnamoyl-, feruloyl- and sinapoyl- amino acids amides have been synthesized using the standard methods in peptide chemistry. The antioxidant activity of six feruloyl- and three sinapoyl- amino acid amides was studied on the oxidation stability of a lipid system. Some of the synthesized compounds have been tested for their antibacterial and antiviral activity. Twenty three N-alkylcinnamoyl amides have been prepared in solution and by sonochemical and microwave activated Wittig reaction. Some of the synthesized hydroxycinnamoyl amides were tested for their antiradical activity by DPPH* tests. All sinapoyl alkylamides were more active than the feruloyl amides. The results obtained demonstrated that the amides are twice less active than the free hydroxycinnamic acids The alkaloid glaucine has been modified and connected with cinnamoyl- and hydroxycinnamoyl residue. The compounds obtained have been tested for their antiradical activity by DPPH* tests. Keywords: cinnamoyl amides, sonochemical and microwave activated Wittig reaction, glaucine, antibacterial- and antiviral activity; DPPH* test 1. INTRODUCTION The biochemical properties of polyphenolic secondary plant metabolites such esters of cinnamic acids (caffeic, ferulic, p- and o-coumaric, sinapic) attract much attention in biology and medicine.

Robertson wrote the material I culled below, I present for personal study and non-profit purposes John’s interesting material. Note that the images in the original text did not transfer. Only the written text survives here…. [Bill Wrobel] PREFACE The myth has come to mean that which is "fanciful, absurd and unhistorical". Yet myths are "all grave records of ancient religious customs and events, and reliable enough as history once their language is understood and allowance has been made for errors in transcription, misunderstandings of obsolete ritual, and deliberate changes introduced for moral or political reasons." (Graves, Robert. The White Goddess. London, Faber, 1948.) The religious myths of humanity contain repeated well defined symbols such as the Great Mother and the Lame Smith. When these symbols are fitted to the precise order of the signs of the zodiac this gives the cosmological key to the mysteries of the universe or macrocosm and the human body which is the microcosm. 1 Man, as a spiritual being, is a direct recipient of the energies of the universe, which flow in through his psychic centres or chakras along the spine. Mythology gives information on esoteric psychology which goes far beyond twentieth century concepts of the nature of man.

  • Irish Perspectives on Heimdallr
    William Sayers Irish Perspectives on Heimdallr n a succinct but thorough entry “Heimdal(l)” in Kulturhistoriskt lexikon för nordisk medeltid, Folke Ström (1961) made a non-controversial observation, but one with important methodological consequences for students of Nordic mythology: Heimdallr was not, to the best of our I 1 knowledge, the object of a cult, but belongs to the world of myth. In another capsule judgment, Jan de Vries (1962) headed a nonetheless rather long entry for Heimdallr in Altnordisches etymologisches Wörterbuch with the summary state- ment: the etymology is opaque (“undurchsichtig”). But if we heed Polomé’s call (1989, 55–58) to break our fixation on etymology (like an atavistic belief that knowledge of the name gives power over the bearer) and investigate the entire file of a given divinity—“myths, rites, cults, toponymic and anthroponymic data . symbols, consecrated animals and so forth”—we are then held to a quite limited body of evidence in the instant case. Limited, but still tantalizing. Heimdallr has generated a considerable quantity of ink, as much a consequence of the scholarly problems we have set ourselves as of agreement with Ellis Davidson (1969, 105–7) that Heimdallr is the most impressive after the great gods and Loki.2 He has been variously interpreted as the god of the heavens, of light, the father of the gods, an emanation of an older god, an equivalent of Varuna, Mithra and Janus, an embodiment of the world tree Yggdrasil, most recently the god of fire (Schröder 1967).3 Our almost exclusively literary evidence can be assigned to some externally determined, rather than inherent, categories.
