I drove with my sister to Sutton hoo to deliver exhibition pieces (My sister was a courier) one thing I noticed on the Track was that many of the trees had Mistletoe, lots of it on them. Makes me wonder, with it being The Golden bough and also the dart that killed Balder and On A quick look it is also said that Vikings Believe it to bring back the dead as in the story of Balder. So, if you visit at the right time of year(I think, not being a Mistlexpert) Have A lookup in the trees on the track high up. The place had an atmosphere, even saw a beast loping into the hedgerow. I thought it may have been recycled around the area for centuries-Who knows.

It catches my attention that among the objects in the treasure there is a lyre. A thousand years before, and at quite a long distance (I am referring to the southwest of Iberia in the Tartessian area), the lyre was also a common element which is represented among important dead people. I observe coincidences between cultures belonging to both areas. My idea is that these similarities are due to a common origin of both of them in Scandinavia. Now, what I would like to know is what underlying reason there is for this musical instrument, the lyre, to be one of the frequent elements accompanying the deceased. I would like to hear any comments about this topic. I would appreciate it.
