  • 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.

Rowdy Geirsson rated it really liked it Nov 25, One of the reasons Norse mythology is such an integral part of modern culture in the English-speaking world could be that little was known about it outside the Nordic region until the 19th century. His mission is to enchant and drown people with his outstanding and fascinating fiddle. Skip to main content. That's especially true in Norway, which has a rich Norse mythology along with plenty of folk tales. Josefin L Sara Westman. Details if other :. The race of Scandinavian trolls was described as being stupid and slow, much like a bear in temperament; perhaps this is why trolls were rumored to keep them as pets. The King's stepmother objected and stole their babies, pinning the blame on the girl and eventually persuading the King to kill her. Sort order. Folk Tales. Maybe it would be better to just read the occasional story from this book. Interesting for an overview of folktales and legends for those who do not speak Scandinavian languages.

  • Changeling Mechanics Packet Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Tempers, Seemings, Traits, Etc
    Changeling Mechanics Packet Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Tempers, Seemings, Traits, Etc. Chapter 2: Birthrights, Frailties, Boons, Flaws Chapter 3: Merits and Flaws Chapter 4: Realms Chapter 5: Arts Chapter 6: Bunks Chapter 7: Treasures and Inanimate Chimera Chapter 8: New Art Guidelines Chapter 9: Legendary Magic 1 Introduction: Unlike Werewolf and Vampire, Changeling received little in the way of Revised support and never received updated rules from the original printing. The two LARP books (Shining Host and the Shining Host Players Guide) stand among the most confusing and poorly written texts among MET regarding mechanics. The goal of this packet is to serve as a revised set of rules for Changeling-specific mechanics to be used as a baseline for the Org. While it is non-binding, it is strongly recommended that games wishing to employ changelings (either as prime genre or in addition to other genres) use these rules *particularly in regards to Arts and Realms* as a baseline, employing perhaps limited house rules from there. This packet includes many house rules and translations from various games around the org (borrowed with permission) and is by no means a singular effort. It also includes several optional rules for chronicles to customize their preferences, as well as frequently requested guidelines for things like adjudicating treasures. Finally, it also includes some original content for games to use if they so wish. Throughout the work, the author will seek to describe the reasons behind the material presented and the philosophy governing the recommendations. Chapter 1: Tempers, Seemings, Traits, Etc. Traits and tempers are among the most significant aspects of any MET rules set.

  • The Many Faces of Trolls in Middle-Earth Andrew C. Peterson
    The Many Faces of Trolls in Middle-earth Andrew C. Peterson J.R.R. Tolkien had a fascination with trolls. From the comical adventures of the trolls in The Hobbit to the poem “Troll Sat Alone on His Seat of Stone” and to the battle with the Cave Troll in the mines of Moria it is clear that trolls were an important part of his narrative world-building. However, Tolkien seemed unsure about the origins of these creatures. Tolkien himself admitted, “I am not sure about Trolls” (The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, No. 153, dated 1954). Given the different portrayals of trolls throughout Tolkien’s writings it is easy to agree with this statement. Obviously the trolls in Middle- earth seem to suffer an identity crisis at the hands of their creator. So which version of the troll is correct? The short answer – all of them. But where did they come from? In order to understand how trolls came to inhabit Middle-earth, we first need to understand their role in our world mythologies. Etymologically, trolls can be traced to Old Norse, as seen here from the Online Etymology Dictionary: Troll (n.) "ugly dwarf or giant," 1610s, from O.N. troll "giant, fiend, demon." Some speculate that it originally meant "creature that walks clumsily," and derives from P.Gmc. *truzlan, from *truzlanan (see troll (v)). Swed. trolla "to charm, bewitch;" O.N. trolldomr "witchcraft." The old sagas tell of the troll-bull, a supernatural being in the form of a bull, as well as boar-trolls. There were troll-maidens, troll-wives, and troll-women; the trollman, a magician or wizard, and the troll-drum, used in Lappish magic rites.
