Upton Denver, Colorado The paper uses methods from medieval sermon studies to argue that an insularity in “monastic consciousness” can be traced to earlier centuries than the more generally discussed (and better documented) scholastic environments of 13th century monastic and cathedral schools. It assesses how a monastic discourse reliant on Biblical typologies informed the Christian conversion of northern Germanic and Scandinavian peoples (c. 500-1300, including the British Isles and Iceland). Moments of encounter between Christian missionaries and pagan cultures helped delineate this discourse, most apparent in extant records that reveal Christian and Norse perceptions of geography, holy places, deity worship, and eschatological expectations.

  • The Violent Death of Derbforgaill”
    Aided Derbforgaill “The violent death of Derbforgaill” Aided Derbforgaill “The violent death of Derbforgaill” A critical edition with introduction, translation and textual notes Kicki Ingridsdotter Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Ihresalen, Språkvetenskapligt centrum, Engelska parken, Uppsala, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Ingridsdotter, K. 2009. Aided Derbforgaill “The violent death of Derbforgaill”. A critical edition with introduction, translation and textual notes. Engelska institutionen. 129 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-506-2083-2. This dissertation contains a critical edition of the early Irish tale Aided Derbforgaill “The violent death of Derbforgaill”. It includes an introduction discussing the main thematic components of the tale as well as intertextuality, transmission and manuscript relationship. The edition is accompanied by transcripts from the three manuscript copies of the tale and textual notes. Aided Derbforgaill is an Ulster Cycle tale and belongs to a category of tales describing the death of prominent heroes, rarely heroines, in early Irish literature. Arriving in the shape of a bird to mate with the greatest of all heroes, Cú Chulainn, Derbforgaill is refused by Cú Chulainn on account of him having sucked her blood. Forced to enter a urination competition between women, and upon winning this, Derbforgaill is mutilated by the other competitors. The tale ends with two poems lamenting the death of Derbforgaill. This very short tale is complex, not only in its subject matter, but in the elliptical language of the poetry. Thematically the tale is a combination of very common motifs found elsewhere in early Irish literature, such as the Otherworld, metamorphosis and the love of someone unseen, and some rare motifs that are almost unique to this tale, such as blood sucking and the urination competition.

    FREE THE DRUIDS PRIMER PDF Luke Eastwood | 318 pages | 24 Feb 2012 | John Hunt Publishing | 9781846947643 | English | Ropley, United Kingdom Druid | Description, History, & Facts | Britannica A druid was a member of the high-ranking class in ancient Celtic cultures. Perhaps best remembered as religious leaders, they were also legal authorities, adjudicators, lorekeepers, medical professionals and political advisors. While the druids are reported to have been literate, they are believed to have been prevented by doctrine from recording their knowledge in written form, thus they left no written accounts The Druids Primer themselves. They are however attested in some detail by their contemporaries from other cultures, such as the Romans and the Greeks. In about CE the word druid appears in a poem by Blathmacwho wrote about Jesussaying that he was "better than a prophet, more knowledgeable than every druid, a king who was a bishop and a complete sage. Many popular notions about druids, based on misconceptions of 18th century scholars, have been largely superseded by more recent study. Sources by ancient and medieval writers provide an idea of the religious The Druids Primer and social roles involved in being a druid. The Greco- Roman and the vernacular Irish sources agree that the druids played an important part in pagan Celtic society. In his description, Julius Caesar claimed that they were one of the two most important social groups in the region alongside the equitesor nobles and were responsible for organizing worship and sacrifices, divination, and judicial procedure in Gaulish, British, and Irish societies. Pomponius Mela [21] was the first author to say that the druids' instruction was secret and took place in caves and forests.

  • Death Abroad in the Skalds' Sagas Kormák and the Scottish Blótrisi
    WILLIAM SAYERS Death Abroad in the Skalds' Sagas Kormák and the Scottish blótrisi In the medieval Icelandic poets’ sagas, similarities in character, plot structure, the repertory of motifs, and what will be seen as the over­ reaching ideological objectives of these works suggest a dominant model, copied with variations.1 In these stories of the poets Kormák, Gunnlaug, and Hallfreð, of Þórð and Björn from the latter’s saga, and Þormóð from Fóstbrödra saga, one of the common motifs, hitherto unrecognized, is that the poets generally die far from their main locus of activity, poetic and social. In order to situate the discussion of death abroad, rather than at home, in the skalds’ sagas, it will be useful to establish some oppositions and complementarities of a larger order. First, in formal compositional terms we have the conjoining or juxtaposition of prose and verse, both shot through with unhistorical elements. The critical issues here are well known. The poets’ sagas are further characterized by contrast in their conceptions of the poetic personality, and of deviant and normative behavior. Saga authors saw versifying as a potential threat to social ecology. Poetry’s potential for 1 As suggested in Bragg 2004, Ch. 4, The Saga Skalds.

Abstract: A little noted feature of the Icelandic skalds’ sagas is the protagonist’s death abroad. The study focuses on Kormák and his fatal encounter with the Scottishblótrisi (‘sacrifice giant,’ as it has been called).

  • Lindow Man's Stomach
    “Hi, My Name’s Fox”? “Hi, My Name’s Fox”?: An Alternative Explication of “Lindow Man’s” Fox Fur Armband and Its Relevance to the Question of Human Sacrifice among the Celts1 The discovery of a well-preserved first-century male body in Lindow Moss in 1985 has been rightly termed by Dr. Anne Ross an “archaeological sensation.” Ross has interpreted the strip of fox fur that is Lindow Man’s only removable adornment as a clue to his name, which she suggests is Lovernios, a name attested among Continental and Insular Celts meaning “fox”. This is an interpretation that has always bothered me. But before offering my own explanation, it is first necessary to review and contextualize the evidence for human sacrifice among the Celts. Allegations of Celtic human sacrifice begin with the commentary of the Classical ethnographers. Julius Caesar made the earliest known reference to the mode of sacrifice that for lack of a better term we now know as the Wicker Man, an immense structure in human form which, he claims, the Gauls of 1st-century-BCE France would stuff full of malefactors and set alight as a sacrifice to the gods. His allegations were echoed by Strabo, who added several other quaint Gaulish idiosyncrasies to the list: stabbing men in the back and taking divinations from their death-throes, shooting them with arrows or impaling them. Burning and 1 Note: This paper is based on two articles that originally appeared in 3rd Stone [http://www.thirdstone.demon.co.uk/home.htm] “You’ll Simply Never Understand the True Meaning of Sacrifice”: Folklore and The Wicker Man.

Greimas, of the character of Suibhne mac Colmáin Chuair, king of Dál nAraidhe, who went mad during the battle of Magh Rath and whose story is told in Buile Shuibhne (‘The frenzy of Suibhne’), a 12th century tale of the Cycle of the Kings. The story of Suibhne has been subjected to a considerable interest over the years, through scholarly studies as well as through work by writers, visual artists, and others. The readings of the character of Suibhne have made him fit into different literary traditions, placed him in various historical and geographical contexts, and made him the object of anthropological as well as religious interpretations; only to mention some approaches to this enigmatic persona. The two holy men, Saint Ronán and Saint Moling, their provenance and their relation to Suibhne, have also been topics for study. There has, however, been little focus on the women Suibhne encounters during his wanderings. My approach will be, by means of Greimas’ actantial model, or the actantial narrative schema, to study Suibhne’s interaction with these women.
