New Year’s here, we hope you’ll enjoy your stay!
Bergen this is traditionally done by kids on New Year’s Eve (nyttårsbukk). There is
Every country has its own set of traditions (or was) an adult version of this tradition and Christmas in Norway might be different from what you’re familiar with. Norwegian Christmas is all about family and traditions! To most Norwegians Jul means family time – the Scandinavian concept of hygge is important. On Christmas Eve we celebrate with traditional food – usually pinnekjøtt,

lutefisk or ribbe – and opening of

Christmas presents (not on Christmas day morning). Another traditional Christmas meal is risgrøt (Scandinavian rice pudding) containing one almond. The one who finds the almond in his or her portion, wins a prize! A solid juletre (Christmas Tree) is important and preferably located and chopped down by the father of the house a day or two before Christmas Eve. where people dress up to avoid being recognised and visit their neighbours and friends, asking for drinks.

Nyttårsaften (New Year’s Eve) is

celebrated with a huge dinner with your family or friends, and celebrated with fireworks, either at home or on the town. January 1 is a day of relaxation, restitution and reflection before heading back to work on January 2.

All rules in this book are supplementary to the Core Rules of The 9th Age. They are produced by our teams and should be viable for use in any game, but you should seek permission from your opponent or tournament organiser to use, as they significantly increase the complexity of the game.

In accordance with his wise proclamations, we hereby disclose our forces under arms. As you shall see, the Shah is careful to keep within the limits justly prescribed to the Vassals of the Citadel of Karutab, whatever reports to the contrary may have been sent by troublemakers from other settlements. Additionally, the Shah wishes to assure the generous Overlord, to whom his life is owed, that the Hobgoblins of Papak are utterly loyal. To be Hobgoblin is to be loyal. We have forsaken the treachery and cunning of our lesser brethren, and seek only to emulate the nobility and warrior spirit of the mighty Infernal people, though of course we are but the palest of imitations.

Cole A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the School of English in the University of St Andrews 17 December 2013 i ABSTRACT My thesis, ‘Fairy in Middle English romance’, aims to contribute to the recent resurgence of interest in the literary medieval supernatural by studying the concept of ‘fairy’ as it is presented in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Middle English romances. This thesis is particularly interested in how the use of ‘fairy’ in Middle English romances serves as an arena in which to play out ‘thought-experiments’ that test anxieties about faith, gender, power, and death. My first chapter considers the concept of fairy in its medieval Christian context by using the romance Melusine as a case study to examine fairies alongside medieval theological explorations of the nature of demons. I then examine the power dynamic of fairy/human relationships and the extent to which having one partner be a fairy affects these explorations of medieval attitudes toward gender relations and hierarchy. The third chapter investigates ‘fairy-like’ women enchantresses in romance and the extent to which fairy is ‘performed’ in romance.

    Harry Potter and the Invisible Hand: The Notion of Inevitable Inequality, and ‘Niceness’ as Moral Action in J.K. Rowling’s Neoliberal Fantasy Kabir Chattopadhyay School of English Trinity College Dublin, The University of Dublin Supervisor: Dr. Padraic Whyte Thesis re-submitted after revisions for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2021 1 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis has not been previously submitted as an exercise for a degree, at this or any other university, and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. KABIR CHATTOPADHYAY 2 SUMMARY My thesis analyses J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books as a series of fantasy texts which perpetuate and disseminate contemporary neoliberal ideological messages. My central aim is to demonstrate how, using the metaphor of magic as a fundamentally mysterious force that regulates all action, Rowling offers a vision of civil society which is hegemonically structured on an immutable hierarchy, where the only mode of possible moral action is depicted as individual acts of niceness. While such a message is transmitted as optimistic and celebratory, I demonstrate how deeply contingent such moral action is made on the perpetuation of underlying inequality. My selection of Harry Potter as primary text has been motivated by its remarkable impact on global socio-political culture; the visions of morality and autonomy in the books have been celebrated and adopted into cultural expressions.

  • Old Norse Elements in the Work of JRR Tolkien

    Old Norse Elements in the Work of JRR Tolkien

    Old Norse elements in the work of J.R.R. Tolkien by Martin Wettstein When John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was 23 Years old, he had already learned Greek, Latin, Anglo Saxon, Old English, Finnish, Welsh and Gothic and had already invented two own languages, called Nevbosh and Qenya. Together with his interest in languages there came up an interest in myths and legends of the countries behind these languages and he read eagerly all the old legends he came across. During these studies he became aware of the fact that England itself had no own mythology. There was the Celtic, the Roman, the Norse and the Christian Mythology but none especially of England. The awareness of this fact and the lack of a mythology behind his own language, Qenya, made him write poems and short stories that told of events and persons as could have taken place in an English mythology. In the invention of these stories he was inspired by the Bible, the Edda [17][18], Celtic Tales, Fairy stories and the pieces of William Shakespeare, just to name the most important sources. In this Essay I would like to focus on the Norse elements that served as sources for the ideas of Tolkien. It is not the aim of this Essay to compare each idea Tolkien had with similar elements in the Norse Mythology. there are already more than enough articles on the ring as Norse element and the attempt to apply Odin to almost each of the Ainur or Tom Bombadil. It shall simply give an idea about how much this mythology served Tolkien as a source of inspiration.

"I can't keep the cottage tidy. If only we had a Brownie!" " What's a Brownie?" asked Tommy. "A Brownie is a magical little creature, which slips into houses very early before anyone is awake. It tidies toys, irons clothes, washes dishes and does all sorts of helpful things in secret," replied his mother. From The Brownie Story As many seven, eight and nine year-olds across the country could tell you, Brownies are magical little creatures, which come in the night and do secret good turns. They don’t ask for thanks or praise, they don’t expect payment. They simply come, do some chore that has been left undone, and then vanish to wherever they came from. But what else do we know about them? And what about Imps, Elves and Pixies? Gnomes, Sprites, and Ghillie Dhu? Not to mention Leprechauns, Kelpies and Bwbachod? This book tells stories of the hidden races. Imps at play, and Gnomes at work, Irish Leprechauns with their pots of gold and Scottish Kelpies who live in rivers and lakes. Read on and discover a whole new world! 3 Brownies The Brownie is a household creature. They are generally live in country houses, but have been known to appear in the city. They are friendly towards humans – though adults never see them.

    The Game of Mad Gab! It’s not about how it is spelled . it's about how it sounds! The Objective! • Two teams compete to try and guess actual phrases, names and places from words that seemingly don’t connect! • Say the words together outlaid several times-it should eventually seat to sound like something you recognize! • One person must serve as GAME MASTER! • The Game Master will want to have a separate copy of the answers to reference when someone says the right phrase! 3 Example Noose Pay Perry Port See, this words all seem random right? But trying saying them all together! 4 Example Noose Pay Perry Port Newspaper Report Gameplay • You can sound it out and say it as many times as needed. Once someone on your team says it, we move onto the next one • Each round is two minutes per team. Team #2 cannot guess during team #1’s turn. • However, at the end of the round, any that the first team passes by, the other team can guess • Passing on a card as a team is allowed, but it subtracts points from your total.
