Repost fromย Pagan Revivalism
This is an Egyptian love song, 'Seven Days Since I Last Saw my Love' preserved on papyrus, replayed on the Djedjet. Many of the themes echo in today's songs.
Some things never change, love being principle among them

Repost fromย The Chad Pastoralist: History
The Haustlวซng (Autum-long) poem composed by the 10th century Norwegian skald รjรณรฐรณlfr of Hvinir is one of the earliest poems detailing various mythological scenes of the Gods. The poem was preserved in Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda and contains numerous kennings that allow us to gain an understanding of the way in which the Norse and thus Germanic people as a whole conceptualised the world.
In detailing Thor's fight with the jวซtun Hrungnir, รjรณรฐรณlfr says:
Ok harรฐbrotin herju
heimรพingaรฐar Vingnis
hvein รญ hjarna mลni
hein at Grundar sveini,
รพar svรกt eรฐr รญ รรฐins
รณlaus burar hausi
stรกla vikr of stokkin
stรณรฐ Eindriรฐa blรณรฐi
"And the hard-broken whetstone of the home-visitor of the female follower of Vingnir (Hrungnir) flew whining towards the boy of Grund (Grund: Jวซrรฐ, boy of Grund: Thor) into the roof-ridge of his brain, so that the pumice of steel weapons (whetstone), still stuck in the skull of the son of รรฐinn (the son of รรฐinn: Thor), stood there, spattered with the blood of Eindriรฐi (Thor)."
It is interesting to note that the whetstone is described as flying towards Thor in the direction of "the roof-ridge of his brain". Roof-ridge, in this case, is a kenning that means the top half of the skull.
The skull being referred to as a roof is similarly described by the Icelandic skald Arnรณrr รรณrรฐarson jarlaskรกld (c. 1012-1070), who, in his poem Magnรบssdrapa verse 19, says in reference to King Magnus:
Jafnmildr ungr skjวซldungr stรญgr aldri und gวซmlum hausi Ymis รก skildan viรฐ; rausn รพess grams vas gnรณg.
"Never beneath the ancient skull of Ymir will an equally bounteous young king step aboard a shield-hung vessel; the magnificence of that lord was ample."
Here, we see another example of the skull being referred to as a roof. The sky being being called the ancient skull of Ymir coincides with the creation myth in Vวซluspรก, where the three Gods, รรฐinn, Villi, and Vรฉ, create the Earth and use the skull of Ymir as a dome or roof placed overhead.
