81. Cosmogonic Myths And Theoretical Science - Norse Calendar Days
    norse Calendar Days.  
    http://www.erols.com/bcccsbs/norscal.htm
    
    Extractions: Cosmogonic Myths and Theoretical Science 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

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: 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.

    A history of the norse/Vikings in Sweden.  
    http://www.luth.se/luth/present/sweden/history/viking_age/Viking_age4.html
    
    Extractions: 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).

100. Call Us Heathens
     Offers insight into the various types of beliefs of norse religions. Includes descriptions of paganism, Asatru, and Odinism.  
     http://www.anglo-saxon.demon.co.uk/Skvala/Heathen.html
     
     Extractions: The Oxford English Dictionary defines a heathen as a person "whose religion is neither Christian, Jewish, nor Mohammedan". Does that therefore mean that all pagans are heathen? Is Heathenry simply Paganism with some vague hint of a barbaric undercurrent? Are you, like us, therefore heathen? No, not according to our definition unless you happen to be among the minority of Pagan Federation members who share our religion. We would like to reclaim the word heathen for ourselves, just as the word was originally used for our ancestors who held the same faith a thousand years ago. Who are we? You already know us by many different names (some of them printable in this family publication). Let's consider those names and see why they are either ambiguous or inappropriate. Let's see why it is unnecessary to invent new names when we have a perfectly good one already in the word heathen Northern Tradition This is the most popular modern term for Heathenry, especially with non-heathen members of the Pagan Federation. Yet it is also one of the least satisfactory. The term was popularised in the last decade by Nigel Pennick, who uses it to describe European nature religions in general (in contrast to
