Njal's saga ends with a vision of war as the underlying horror of the world, always waiting underneath the frail mirage of peace. In a final dream image, spectral women are seen working an occult and horrible loom: "Men's heads were used in place of weights, and men's intestines for the weft and warp; a sword served as the beater, and the shuttle was an arrow. And these were the words the women were chanting: Blood rains From the cloudy web On the broad loom Of slaughter. The web of man Gray as armor Is being woven."

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78823371 United States 07/19/2020 03:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Viking people were highly civilized, and greatly valued the arts – especially storytelling, about ancient myths, heroic legends, folk tales, and family and local histories. These stories circulated orally, often in the form of epic poems, usually passed on through successive generations, but many were written down in the 13th century, mainly by scholars in Iceland, which today form the basis of much of what we know about ancient Norse myths and legends, Sagas which are supposedly based on true stories of real Viking Age people. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78439607 Our ancestors entire way of life and history was nearly destroyed by Christianity. The Northern European people have a long, long fascinating history. All that remains was squirreled away in remote Iceland (out of reach from the wack job Christians). Merely remnants of who we were, what we believed, where we came from. Contrast the Eddas with the Vedas. The Eddas contain a few scraps. That's how complete the job was. The Vedas are voluminous. So many books, so many volumes. Thankfully the Vedas weren't destroyed too! When you see the BLM/Antifa people burning, looting and pulling down statues. Know that your ancestors faced the exact same thing when the Christians came to town. |
