Georges Dumézils position i religionsforskningen siden 1994
Denne artikel udgøres af refleksioner over nogle af de ændringer, der har fundet sted inden for religionshistorien i forhold til den franske religionshistoriker Georges Dumézils teorier, siden Hans Jørgen Lundager Jensen og jeg selv, tilbage i 1994, skrev en bog med titlen Suveræniteten, kampen og frugtbarheden: Georges Dumézil og den indoeuropæiske ideologi. Efter en kort introduktion til den vigtigste del af Dumézils teori, nemlig den, der omha…

Pre-Christian Religions of the North: History and Structures
A Handbook to Eddic Poetry: Myths and Legends of Early Scandinavia
This is the first comprehensive and accessible survey in English of Old Norse eddic poetry: a remarkable body of literature rooted in the Viking Age, which is a critical source for the study of early Scandinavian myths, poetics, culture and society. Dramatically recreating the voices of the legendary past, eddic poems distil moments of high emotion as human heroes and supernatural beings alike grapple with betrayal, loyalty, mortality and love. T…
Eddic poetry and the religion of pre-Christian Scandinavia
The eddic poems have traditionally played a significant role as sources for historians of religion concerned with the pre-Christian religion of Scandinavia. Most of the Nordic sources can be divided into ‘contemporary’ (archaeological evidence, a few skaldic poems, runic inscriptions, and a few other categories) and ‘medieval’ (sagas, the works of Snorri, and much more). Whereas the first category, in a sense, can be said to be reliable, it usual…

I religionshistoriens forskningshistorie har der været en tendens til at se religioner som sammenhængende tankesystemer. Man har nok været opmærksom på, at de kunne ændre sig over tid; men man har sjældent overvejet, om kohærensen i den religiøse opfattelse i forskellige geografiske områder, hos forskellige individer og selv hos ét og samme individ stemmer overens med det, vi ved om nutidige religioner.

Odins viden - dens funktion og betydning
it is the purpose of this article to discuss how to interpret Odin's wisdom. Many scholars have argued over the last ten years that Odin's wisdom should be compared to the abilities of the shaman as this figure is known from many circumpolar religions and that Odin should accordingly be viewed as a prototypical shaman. There are, however, some arguments against this theoy. First and foremost, it is obvious that Odin has certain functions in old N…

Odin på træet
The Norse myth of Odin who dangled from the world tree during nine nights has aroused much discussion among scholars as to whether the god is being initiated or sacrificed. After having discussed the arguments, the article proceeds by analysing the two phenomenological categories of sacrifice and initiation and some of the driterias we may use in order to make a distinction. It is concluded that the main difference is the relation between subject…

The Relation between the two Phenomenological Categories Initiation and Sacrifice as Exemplified by the Norse Myth of Óðinn on the Tree
Many articles have been devoted to the Old Norse myth which relates how Odin was hanging from a tree for nine nights without being offered food or drink. The question we are going to investigate here is, as mentioned, whether we are facing a sacrifice or an initiation. Both possibilities have been proposed, and some scholars have even believed that the strophes deal with an exemplary myth which has served directly as a model for some ritual
Ritualstruktur og ritualklassifikation
The purpose of this article has been to evaluate some major contributions in the study of ritual in order to reach some strategy, according to which it will be possible to describe and classify the different categories of rituals. It is suggested that the description of the structure must include both the horizontal structure as investigated by van Gennep and the vertical including the opposition between liminal and non-liminal ritual space, as t…

The article analyses the cosmology of Old Norse religion before the arrival of Christianity to Scandinavia and strives to illuminate the image of the world upheld in this context on the basis of the scarce source material that is available. Special attention is given to the relationship between the so-called vertical and horizontal sub-systems included in the spatial model for understanding Scandinavian religion, proposed by E. M. Meletinskij. Th…

Livsdrik og vidensdrik
Denne artikel beskæftiger sig med et tema af allerstørste betydning i før-kristen skandinavisk religion, nemlig den måde, hvorpå det er muligt at få overnaturlig eller numinøs viden. Mit udgangspunkt er myten om Kvasir og Odins tyveri af visdommens mjød. Ved at analysere mytens horisontale struktur er det muligt at vise, at vi bliver konfronteret med nogle vigtige binære modsætninger: indsigelsen mellem de to faser, før og efter tyveriet, svarend…

Georges Dumézil og indoeuropæisk religionshistorie
The purpose of this article is to introduce the methods and theories of Georges Dumézil in relation to Indo-European religion and mythology. Starting with a survey of a number of important theories about the Indo-Europeans in general, and mythological research in particular, where especially the point of view of the “nature mythologists” is discussed, attention is then focused on Dumézil. After a short description of the background for his resear…
