(Yeah, I remember watching Pop-Up Video after school, why?) Another of the numberless futile disclaimers I have to make when talking about runes is that visual designs or symbols such as Ægishjálmur are not runes; 'rune' as a technical term applies only to a letter in one of the Futhark alphabets. I have talked about Ægishjálmur specifically here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXuXeGpjmtlpgqs and you can find all my videos dealing with runes here: kzbin.info/aero/PLATNGYBQ-TjrPCf9YGy0qzqca1ypcGs50

Also if anyone is interested, the 'Runes, Magic, and Religion: A Sourcebook' that Dr. Crawford references actually has a PDF preview of Chapter 12 available here: dro.dur.ac.uk/1053/ -- the link to the actual book can be found here (Google Translate should get you through the menus/page without issue if you need it): www.fassbaender.com/Skandinavistik/Runes-Magic-and-Religion-A-Sourcebook.html With regards to the charm that Dr. Crawford mentions from Skírnismál, Stephen Mitchell has an excellent paper on it called 'Skírnismál and Nordic Charm Magic', along with some other interesting work on possible similar charms on his main Academia page: www.academia.edu/1500345/Sk%C3%ADrnism%C3%A1l_and_Nordic_Charm_Magic His book 'Witchcraft and Magic in the Nordic Middle Ages', which Dr. Crawford has recommended before, also covers this topic and Penn Press actually has it 40% off with free shipping through tomorrow (December 31, 2020), so while it is focused on magic from 1100 A.D. on, it also discusses what might have survived from the pre-Christian era (like the aforementioned charms): www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14800.html

The real rock-and-roll was the background stone we saw along the way. How in the hells did the earth manage to bow out those rock strata? In any case, it seems we've got a somewhat interesting pattern here, that I might semi-poetically generalize: "Þor, swing; strike this demon down; Fiend, flee; for now you are found. Fiend, for thee, malediction and wrath; Sufferer, to thee, protection and health." Simple as it may be, it's neat to know this fragment of the 'thought-culture' of a people this far back into history.

I know it's been a year, but hey, rocks are cool. So with enough time and pressure rock can bend and flex, it's a misconception that 'cool' rocks nearer the surface are not malleable. That particular style of formation is called an anticline. Synclines ( U shaped curves) and anticlines typically form when a layer of rock is squished from the sides, and form a type of sinewave pattern. Anticlines can also from from rising magma pushing the rock up, but not fast enough to shear it.

Hundreds of years and still to a degree. Here in Sweden there were pockets that were very pagan for a long time even though the state religion was Christian. And the 13th of December called Lucia is also pre Christian and not about the Italian saint Lucia at all and it is still celebrated each year. There was a good documentary about the Lucia celebration here on KZbin but the Swedish state TV decided to take it down and it's not available on their website either. Good job SVT using our tax money for a good cause I see 🤔

You've probably taught me more about scandinavian prehistory than most of my archaeology lecturers in Lund. Also, massive +++ for the pronunciations. This seems to be very difficult for most English speaking scholars. But you are doing a great job compared to most anglo-people trying to do Scandinavian languages or latin or whatever (also compared to any contemporary Swede/Dane/Norwegian trying to speak norse).

The way the layout is described is very funny and very familiar to me! I study Egyptian Hieroglyphs and the direction of writing was completely up to the scribe based on what looked prettier, or was more symmetrical. All sorts of directions in one passage can crop up and you just have to roll with it, lol. (Although helpfully, usually the symbols within will face the start of the sentence, which helps you find where to begin)

Hi Dr. Crawford, Is it possible that the runes normalized here to “may (he) bless” might instead be read as “may (he) slay?” It seems a little more logical to me that Þórr, smacker of giants and such-like, would be invoked to slay the monstrous wound-causer, rather than bless the sufferer (not that that seems illogical for a rune charm). Just a thought!

"Gods are over him, and gods are under him" sounds pretty similar to "As above, so below"

Most inscriptions turn out to be pedestrian. It turns funny after a while: “What great mysteries will this inscription unfold? …’Bob died and we’re all sad.’ How about this one? ‘Ten goats, three cows, eight sheep, payable on delivery.’ Don’t tell me, the next one is-yep, it’s an account book.” Also business letters, standard monumental inscriptions, dry personal letters, school exercises, and that great human constant, dirty graffiti. You learn to see the beauty in it and to mine for nuggets of truth about historical events and people’s everyday lives. But if you expected mystic wonders to unfold before your eyes, it’s a bit of a letdown.

Who else wants to give Bufi a hug? 😂♥️ Those are the stories I love History for; among all the conflicts between religions, nations and ideologies, there is a simple prose of life.
