"Waking up trolls, whatever that means" In our folklore trolls are huge creatures that turn into stone every morning when struck by sunlight. They are well respected in a fearful way and the general advice is that if you just stear clear and do not disturb them they will leave you be as well. Disturbing them - especially if waking them up during the day - is sure to bring their full wrath upon you, the surrounding land and its inhabitants. So if your neighbor would wake a troll you could be sure that your farm and cattle would suffer as well, so having it a criminal offense makes perfect sense.

In conjunction with the construction of a new railway, extensive excavations have been made in Gamla Uppsala. The findings will be presented at Gamla Uppsala Museum during a three day event May 18-20, 2018. A scientific report and a popular science book based on the report will be released. Some of the lectures will address new findings on the religious practicies of the era. Probably a bit more extensive and realistic than what Adam of Bremen tells us.

The only thing about "waking trolls" I found seems to come from norse laws in the 1100-1300, like Jackson said. It was a serious offence to "Sit outside to wake trolls in order to practise paganism" ( from a Swedish magazine article). It seems that "waking trolls" meant practising the old paganism/shamanism (outdoors, as was the pagan way), which could please the trolls and maybe make them appear. Trolls were portrayed as hating christanity in a big way and Christians made trolls into somekind of "devil"-figure (like everything opposing christianity, I guess), probably to scare people into converting by propaganda: "Don't be a horrid pagan troll, be a christian". More can perhaps be found in the book linked to the Swedish article I found: John Lindow's "Trolls: An Unnatural History", Reaktion Books Lmt. 2014.

I wonder if "riding like a night monster" has something to do with the Åsgårdsrei (look up Wild Hunt on Wikipedia), a mythical pack of riders thundering across the night sky. In the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, they have an object that's a sort of rattling chain with two hand holds, seemingly made to cause ritual noise. Perhaps it was meant to evoke the rattling bridles of the riding night monsters.

On the point of attacking a person for their belief, the christians seem to forget their own teachings (Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.).

Loki may be attested by modern Heathens to be connected to spiders and love coffee, and that's valuable as USG, but the texts don't mention that and it's important to keep the information separate. *USG = Unverified Shared Gnosis, sometimes represented as SPG (Shared Personal Gnosis).

I had read somewhere that that one of the primary reasons the Scandinavians adopted Christianity was because of the image of Christ's death upon the cross. For the Norse , there was no better way to die than to die in battle. They equated this with Christ's persecution and subsequent death upon a cross. They saw it as an honorable way to die. Whether or not it's true I don't know, but it certainly makes sense (looking at it through the eyes of a Viking). As far as horse meat is concerned, it's possible it was initially frowned up for consumption because of the dietary laws set down in Leviticus (chapter 11). Animals permitted to be eaten were suppose to "chew the cud and split the hoof" (i.e. sheep, cows and goats). Since a horse does neither, that may have been the reason why it was banned by the early church. I enjoy your videos, Sir. As usual I sit here with a pen and piece of paper so I can take notes.

That's fascinating about the Scandinavian conversion. I read a while ago (in a book I've still got but can't find!) that an Anglo-Saxon version of the Passion has Jesus going to his death as if going into battle - a battle with death itself (which is the essence of the Christian story). It's an interesting insight into how people saw Christianity back then as much as anything else.

The early Christian Book of the Acts of the Apostles says everything is lawful to eat, meaning the food laws in Leviticus are no longer binding. At the same time, it's not sinful to retain those eating habits from personal choice.
@WildCard-ze3tm

​@@kimfleury A good point, however the Christian tolerance towards dietary habits would also be dependent on culture. For example, during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, I saw some Christian memes that praised the Bible's wisdom in forbidding the consumption of bat meat. Obviously, Christians are free to eat bat meat in light of the teaching from Acts that you quoted. However, since bats are not commonly consumed in the United States, some American Christians fell back on Levitical prohibitions to explain their aversion to it. It is possible that the missionaries to Scandinavia may have used a similar justification since their cultures did not consume horse meat.

In addition to the contemporary Christians hypothesizing the rituals based on their own, they might also look to Old Testament accounts of Jewish sacrifices. This would include both the righteous Mosaic sort and the unrighteous ones to other gods like Baal. These rituals would include the slaughter of animals and sprinkling their blood with branches.

I believe the lining of an area with a chain, or rope, also is described as occurring before duels (holmgangr and possibly other forms), and possibly may have served to dedicate (vigja) the space inside to either the gods, or possibly some kind of more abstract notion of justice.

As a fun tidbit, the modern Norwegian term for a wedding ceremony is still "vielse" (noun) , or to "vie". This is a modern form of "vigja" (after some sound-shifts around the high middle ages, I'm not an expert, but the -else ending is a noun-ification postfix of German origin at least).

Based on your analysis, it sounds like some of the practices shown at least have a basis in Norse beliefs (the significance of the number 9, the hanging of the sacrifices from the tree etc) but just as with various Celtic peoples, it's hard to know for certain how widespread human sacrifices were amongst the Norse peoples due to the greater ambiguity in terms of interpreting archaeological remains.

I'm slightly confused about the sentence "Berið inn hamar brúði at vígja". In contemporary Norwegian, we have "å vie", meaning to conduct a marriage, to pronouce a priest etc (apparently, vígja comes from Vé, Óðinns brother).

I mean, blood spread with a hyssop branch is literal old testament stuffs. That's how the Aaronic priesthood was christened in. So either mutual ancestry, convergent memetic evolution, or false guessing.

describing how blood is used in sacrifice (sprinkle it on the alter and on the walls) is pretty much how Leviticus begins, and after the new testament you would expect the old testament to be the most accessible book to a medieval literate.

Awesome, thank you. It was very interesting the prayer you recited in the last bit it mentioned "healing hands" .. what do you think the reference of this means? Could it refer to an ancient type of spiritual healing using the hands? Paganism uses earth-based rituals and I wonder if this includes healing? Just a thought. Oh and why would one want to expose a baby? Thank you. BTW, I loved the claw back scratcher! lol took me by surprise!

Nigel Eru If the baby had some obvious defect,or if the people were poor and already had a lot of children and felt they could not afford to feed it,if the child was as a result of a rape or the mother was young and the family wished to preserve her marriageability,if it was the child of a slave and the owners didn't want it, if the father rejected it for some reason,lots of reasons.

Brynhild's words sound less like a prayer and more like wedding vows... unless you count that as a more specific kind of prayer?

do you think there is any connection to the modern use of ”viga” in swedish, which is to marry, or get married, and the earlier use? was it coopted by christians?

Interestingly, my Maternal Grandmother, whose surname was Ellingsworth (English) was named "Lunda". I know nothing of her Mother's lineage, unfortunately. We do know that she married a Swede (my Grandfather). I also remember her as not being a 'standard Christian' as she studied Coptic Teachings much of her Life.

Greetings Dr. Jackson Crawford! First I want to thank you for your channel and the knowledge that you share, there is nothing more valuable then knowledge and when given for free praise is always in order. Do you happen to know where one could get their hands on "Att föra gudarnas talan"? I have searched far and wide but can not find a copy for sale.

Hi love hearing your interpretations I know for me it helps. I wonder if it is not too difficult you might translate the serenity prayer and if you don't mind your pronunciation? Or could you point me at how I might do this? I would be grateful either way, Odin knows I'm grateful even if you decline. Thanks Mate.

I know this question may be a bit off topic for this channel, but I remembe you stating in a video a while back that you’re proficient in old Greek and Latin. I was interested in learning Latin by myself, would you have any book recommendations that would be useful for self tutoring? Many thanks in advance, and keep up the good work! Love your channel! :)
