"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.

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.

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-ze3tm2 жыл бұрын
@@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.

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).

Serenity Prayer: God Grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And The wisdom to know the difference .

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! :)
