Cosmogonic Myths and Theoretical Science Norse Calendar Days Ostla Stone, SE Days of the Week The association of the days of our week named, as many of them are, for the old Norse divinitites, after the god whose hour started the day, is a fairly recent adoption. The Romans observed a nine-day market week and most ancient peoples reckoned time in months. The Jews and Christians observed a seven day week coinciding with the seven days of creation and the four seven day phases of the moon. Our day names are after the Anglo-Saxon useage. These Gods have, in addition, identification with a letter in the Runic Alphabet. Often carved on wood staves or stone, runes were in general use by the fifth century c.e. and were regarded as representing mysteries or secrets. In Norse mythology, Odin was able to discern the meaning of the runes only after a great sacrifice. Sunday The S-rune sowilo represents the Sun and may be associated with the solar serpent. Tueday The T-rune tiwaz represents Tyr and is associated with Polaris the Pole Star. His association with the rules of battle and legal contracts makes Tyr the divine being who presides over communal agreements.

THE NORSE RUNES Jodie Forrest 's Website: Alpha Lyra Consulting, and Seven Paws Press, fantasy, astrology and book sales The Runes were the letters with which the ancient Norse wrote until approximately 1000 A.D., and they can be seen carved on Runestones across Scandinavia to this day. They also had oracular, mythological or psychological import. The chief Norse god, Odin, was said to have been voluntarily wounded with a spear and hung for nine nights on the nine worlds of Norse cosmology's axle-tree, Yggdrasil, in order to obtain knowledge of the Runes' meanings and magical usesa kind of Norse shamanic initiation. For more about ancient Nordic cosmology, click here for an article by Norse storyteller and scholar Dag Rossman.

91. GR Burgess's Old Norse Page GR Burgess s Old norse Page. updated July 9th, 2003. What is Old norse ? Old norse is the language spoken and written by the inhabitants http://odin.bio.miami.edu/norse/

GR Burgess's Old Norse Page updated July 9th, 2003 What is Old Norse? The relationship of Old Norse to English and other languages Why study Old Norse? Why study Icelandic? ... Learning Icelandic - Tips and Links What is 'Old Norse'? Old Norse is the language spoken and written by the inhabitants of Scandinavia around 1000 A.D. and earlier. The modern Nordic languages of Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese descended from Old Norse. (Not Finnish though, this language is related to Hungarian and Korean .) Old Norse is no longer spoken by groups of people, so it is considered a 'dead language'. It does have an extensive literature, much was written in Old Norse, in Iceland in the 1200's or there about. As Old Norse is a Germanic language (along with its descended Scandinavian languages mentioned above, and German, Dutch, Gothic and, yes, English), and aside from many runic inscriptions, it represents the earliest written flowering of any Germanic language. Therefore anyone interested in the real roots of their Germanic language, should take an interest in Old Norse. The relationship of Old Norse to English and other languages Growing up inherently weird, I was always interested in word roots. And in learning word roots, you usually hear that they are Greek or Latin. Now I never gave it much thought, but I always assumed English was derived from Greek and Latin. I was very wrong, or at least mostly wrong.

94. The Original Valkyries: A History Of The Norse Goddesses Descriptive history of the norse Valkyries. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/6604/Valkyrie.html

Welcome to The Original Valkyries, a short, descriptive history of the Norse Valkyries. Heh, I finally gave up and started paying for web-space **sigh** lol - but at least you won't get the "exceeded traffic" notice instead of the page! While I was designing these pages, I searched the web, looking for information on my namesake. What I found was VERY little. By luck I found the Viking Answer Lady web page, and she very kindly came to my rescue. Most of the following information came directly from her. Any mistakes would be mine. Trapped in a Frame? Break Out Now Want a Text Only version? THANKS for telling me it was needed Penny! he Valkyrie is, in the oldest strata of belief, a corpse goddess, represented by the carrion-eating raven. The name in Old Norse, valkyrja, means literally, "chooser of the slain." The Valkyrie is related to the Celtic warrior-goddess, the Morrigan, who likewise may assume the form of the raven. idway between the third and eleventh centuries, the Valkyries begin assuming a more benign aspect. Small amulets and pictures on memorial stones begin to depict the figure of the beautiful woman welcoming the deceased hero with a horn of mead to the afterlife. Valkyries are usually represented as blonde, blue eyed and fair skinned. They wear scarlet corslets and carry shields and spears. y this later time, the Valkyries, as demigoddesses of death, had their legend conflated with the folklore motif of the swan maiden (young girls who are able to take on the form of a swan, sometimes as the result of a curse). If one could capture and hold a swan maiden, or her feathered cloak, one could extract a wish from her. This is why valkyries were sometimes known as swan maidens or wish maidens.

Norse of Course original poem in the style of Theodor Suess Geiselson by Erika Milo One skald, two skald, Young skald, dead skald. This one wrote a mighty ode. This one took his ship and rowed. Say! What a long way he rowed! Yes, some are young and some are dead. Some are very seldom read. Some are sad. And some are glad. And some are very, very bad. Who was the saddest, baddest one? His name was Egil Skallagrim's son. Egil was a cranky one. He killed people just for fun! When Egil was a boy, his dad Said, Never, ever make him mad. Egil did not like to lose And those who beat him got contused. The other boys let Egil win So that he would not do them in. Mom said, Our son is brave and true, What will he ever do for work? Don't fret, said Mom he'll go berserk. Egil's brother Thorolfur Was handsomer than him by far. Egil and his brother fought They fought an awful, awful lot. Thorolfur would always say, I wish that you would go away. I do not like you, Skallagrimsson. I do not like what you have done. I think you really are a skunk And even worse when you are drunk!

General information about Sweden... The Swedish Vikings De foro manligen fjärran efter guld och österut gåvo örnen föda De dogo söderut i Särkland. Inscription in a stone outside Gripsholms castle. While the Vikings from Norway and Denmark went hunting for new land in the west and southwest, the Vikings from present-day Sweden usually went east and south-east. There was another aspect to their business abroad. While the Danes and the Norwegians usually conquered and colonized, the Swedes traded (although they were well armed and certainly knew how to fight) and didn't seek to establish kingdoms and colonies. There were Swedes that went on voyages with the Danes and Norwegians (at that time the differences between the countries were much less than they are now), but the main stream of Swedish Vikings went eastward. They travelled much farther east than any other European people. The Swedish Vikings even travelled as far as Jerusalem (or Jorsalir as they called it), the Caspian sea, and Baghdad (they called it Särkland). Hundreds of Swedes travelled to the eastern Roman city Constantinople (or Miklagård). Many of them returned rich from their combined trading/plundering expeditions. There are more ancient English coins found in Sweden than there are in England, and over 90% of all the coins found in Europe from Baghdad and surroundings have been found in Sweden (Gotland to be precise).
