It seeks to establish the relationship of the various valkyrja reflexes of the culture under study with other supernatural females (particularly the dísir) through the close and careful examination of primary source material, thereby proposing a new model of base supernatural femininity for the late Iron Age. The study then goes on to examine how the valkyrjur themselves deviate from this ground state, interrogating various aspects and features associated with them in skaldic, Eddic, prose and iconographic source material as seen through the lens of the hall-based warrior elite, before presenting a new understanding of valkyrja phenomena in this social context: that valkyrjur were used as instruments to propagate the pre-existing social structures of the culture that created and maintained them throughout the late Iron Age. -
WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation.

W rogu salonu w półmroku widać recepcję w stylu amerykańskiego motelu. Na tablicy wiszą klucze od pokoi. Za dużymi oknami noc, słychać dalekie szczekanie psów i pojedyncze strzały. Nagle słychać hałas silnika podjeżdżającego samochodu sportowego, gasi silnik, trzaśnięcie drzwiami. Wśród tych hałasów z radia samochodowego przebijają się fragmenty hymnu niemieckiego. Akt 1 (dzwonek i wołanie zza drzwi): Olga! to ja..otwórzcie - ciemno, nic tu nie widać. (brak reakcji). Olgaaa... (Po chwili drzwi się otwierają, w ciemności widać najpierw tylko sylwetkę mężczyzny który wciąga dużą walizę na kółkach z hotelowymi nalepkami z całego świata. Zapala latarkę w komórce i szuka włącznika do światła. Szuka tego właściwego, ale najpierw zapala czerwony neon "Paradise” a potem do tego dochodzi migający napis „Escort Service". Widać teraz: rura do tańczenia, kanapy, z tyłu ekran telewizora, beamer i duży bałagan. Mężczyzna rozgląda się. Teraz widać go dokładnie: drobny facet w okularach, luźnym i drogim ubraniu . Typ zagubionego naukowca. Widzi ogień w kominku który zaczyna wygasać, więc dokłada drzewa. Otwiera wbudowaną szafę, pełną ubrań damskich. Wyciąga niektóre i ogląda. Otwiera walizę i wyciąga najpierw termos z kawą, potem whisky, zmęczony rzuca się na fotel. Otwierają się drzwi wejściowe i wchodzi mężczyzna w panterce i bronią myśliwską, zaskoczony).

The Rök Runestone and the End of the World. Futhark 9–10
The Rök Runestone and the End of the World Per Holmberg (University of Gothenburg), Bo Gräslund (Uppsala University), Olof Sundqvist (Stockholm University), and Henrik Williams (Uppsala University) Abstract The Rök runestone from central middle Sweden, dated to around 800 CE, is famous, among other things, for a supposed reference to the emperor Theodo ric the Great. This study proposes instead that the inscription deals with an anxiety triggered by a son’s death and the fear of a new climate crisis similar to the catastrophic one after 536 CE. Combining perspectives and findings from semiotics, philology, archaeology, and history of religion, the study presents a completely new interpretation which follows a unified theme, showing how the monument can be understood in the sociocultural and religious context of early Viking Age Scandinavia. The inscription consists, according to the pro posed interpretation, of nine enigmatic questions. Five of the questions con cern the sun, and four of them, it is argued, ask about issues related to the god Odin. A central finding is that there are relevant parallels to the inscription in early Scandinavian poetry, especially in the Eddic poem Vafþrúðnismál. Keywords: Rök, runestones, Viking Age, riddles, Eddic poetry, skaldic poetry, climate crisis he Rök runestone (Ög 136) is the most famous runic monument of Tthe Viking Age. It was erected c. 800 CE in a prosperous agricultural district in today’s central middle Sweden by Varinn as a memorial to his son Vāmōðʀ. Except for one damaged line, its more than 700 runes and other characters are still clearly legible, and cover all five visible sides of a fiveton granite slab, over two and a half meters high above the ground. -

TALES of ROMANCE BASED on TALES in the BOOK of ROMANCE EDITED by ANDREW LANG the STORY of ROBIN HOOD. PART I. Many Hundreds of Y
TALES OF ROMANCE BASED ON TALES IN THE BOOK OF ROMANCE EDITED BY ANDREW LANG THE STORY OF ROBIN HOOD. PART I. Many hundreds of years ago, when the Plantagenets were kings, England was so covered with woods, that a squirrel was said to be able to hop from tree to tree from the Severn to the Humber. It must have been very different to look at from the country we travel through now; but still there were roads that ran from north to south and from east to west, for the use of those who wished to leave their homes, and at certain times of the year these roads were thronged with people. Pilgrims going to some holy shrine passed along, merchants taking their wares to Court, Abbots and Bishops ambling by on palfreys to bear their part in the King's Council, and, more frequently still, a solitary Knight, seeking adventures. Besides the broad roads there were small tracks and little green paths, and these led to clumps of low huts, where dwelt the peasants, charcoal- burners, and ploughmen, and here and there some larger clearing than usual told that the house of a yeoman was near. Now and then as you passed through the forest you might ride by a splendid abbey, and catch a glimpse of monks in long black or white gowns, fishing in the streams and rivers that abound in this part of England, or casting nets in the fish ponds which were in the midst of the abbey gardens. Or you might chance to see a castle with round turrets and high battlements, circled by strong walls, and protected by a moat full of water. -
Wayland Smith : a Dissertation on a Tradition of the Middle Ages
p. KENNEDY, ANGLESEA STREET, Tliree doors from College Green. XgamMé^f^ ^ .' WAYLAND SMITH. A DISSERTATION ON A TRADITION OF THE MIDDLE AGES. FROM THE FRENCH OF G. B. DEPPING AND FRANCISQUE MICHEL. WITH ADDITIONS BY S. W. SINGER. AND THE AMPLIFIED LEGEND 13 Y OEHLENSCHLAGER. LONDON: WILLIAM PICKERING. 1847. TO MRS. KINNEAR, WHOSE TRANSLATION FROM OEHLENSCHLAGER FURNISHES THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PORTION, THE FOLLOWING PAGES ARE GRATEFULLY DEDICATED BY HER AFFECTIONATE FRIEND S. W. SINGER. PREFACE. The use which Sir Walter Scott made of this legend in his romance of Kenilworth, has given it universal celebrity, but, inde- pendent of this claim to our attention, it may be considered as one of the most interesting of the old Sagas of the North. The rifacci- mento of it by Adam Oehlenschlager was first written by him in Danish about the year 1800, and he afterwards re- wrote it in Ger- man, from which language the following version has been made. The dissertation appended to it will show how gradually it has been built up, and how skilfully from its fragmentary state the Danish poet has constructed a poetical tale breathing the wild spirit of his native land. A dissertation on a popular tale may at first glance appear to be a trifling thing. Nevertheless, when this tale is of remote origin ; when it has amused the people of the South and of the North, and given occupa- tion to poets, to writers of romance, and to mythologers of various ages ; when it has passed from one language and from one country to another, it is no longer an object to be despised. -
Le Seiðr Des Anciens Scandinaves Et Le Noaidevuohta Des Sâmes : Aspects Chamaniques Et Influences Mutuelles
Le seiðr des anciens Scandinaves et le noaidevuohta des Sâmes : aspects chamaniques et influences mutuelles Céline Leduc Thèse soumise à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales dans le cadre des exigences du programme de doctorat en philosophie en Sciences des religions Département des Études anciennes et des Sciences des religions Faculté des Arts Université d’Ottawa © Céline Leduc, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 Résumé La thèse analyse le rituel du seiðr (pratique utilisée entre autres pour la divination, la guérison et la guerre sur des plans surnaturels) des anciens Scandinaves et celui du noaidevuohta (rituel chamanique pratiqué par les Sâmes) chez les Sâmes. Le seiðr était pratiqué surtout par des femmes qui se déplaçaient d’une ferme à l’autre. Il était directement lié au dieu Óðinn, tel que décrit dans l’Ynglinga saga. Quant au noaidevuohta, apparemment l’apanage des hommes, il participait au complexe circumpolaire des chasseurs/éleveurs du renne ou du caribou. Les deux complexes rituels ont été intégrés dans leur culture respective, tout en possèdant des différences. Il est impossible, dans l’état actuel de la recherche, de déterminer s’il y a eu des emprunts de part et d’autre. Selon les conclusions de nos recherches, les deux rituels sont de nature chamanique, s’inscrivant au nouveau paradigme circumpolaire des études contemporaines. En revanche, il n’existe pas de consensus au sujet de la nature chamanique ou non, ni au sujet de l’origine, des rituels en question. Il y a très peu de recherches en langue française sur le sujet, la majorité des études ont été réalisées en langue anglaise ou dans des langues scandinaves. -
Germanischen Sagengeschichte
Studien zur germanischen sagengeschichte. I der valkyrjenmythus. II über das verhältniss der nordischen und deutschen form der Nibelungensage. Von Wolfgang Golther. Aus den Abhandlungen der k. bayer. Akademie der Wiss. I. Cl. XVIII. Bd. II. Abth. München 1888. Verlag der k. Akademie in Commission bei G. Franz Der valkyrjenmythus. Als die forschung begann, sich den nordgermanischen denkmälern zuzuwenden, wurde ihr teilweise grossartiger und ergreifender inhalt die veranlassung, für diese selbst ein ziemlich hohes alter anzusetzen, man glaubte, hier den ältesten anschauungen der Germanen von der götter weit zu begegnen, man entnahm den nordischen quellen die berechtigung zu rückschlüssen auf die übrigen germanischen stamme, indem ein be trächtlicher teil der hier sich vorfindenden sagen den letzteren zugewiesen wurde, was sonst den feindlichen einflüssen der christlichen kirche er legen war, hatte sich hier in unverfälschter, ursprünglicher reine erhalten, darum genügte eine ganz äusserliche ähnlichkeit irgendwelcher später deutscher sagen mit zügen, welche in nordischen quellen vorkamen, um einen mythus als nordisch-deutsch, ja urgermanisch hinzustellen, eine vorurteilsfreie betrachtung der nordischen quellen bewirkte vielfache änderung in diesen ansichten. nicht allein ihre niederschrift, sondern auch ihr inhalt entstammen einer viel späteren zeit, in welcher der nor dische geist in besonderer kraft und lebhaftigkeit erblühte, in den sagen sind freilich keime enthalten, die gemeingermanischen, ja indogermanischen Ursprunges sind,
