Description


Life is hard without friends. There is a similar proverb about influence in the African Proverbs. The scene is outside Four Corners Keep from my freestuff, the models are V2 in textures from my freestuff, the hair is the Mitsu hair for A3 free from Daz a long time ago. I am putting the text on the right so you can read it if you use the pictures as background on your computer screen. You might find it interesting to compare these sayings with the series of African Proverbs I published here previously. The verses are from "The High One's Lay", it is the wisdom of Odin from "The Elder Eddas" published in 1906 and available for free from Google Books. You can compare them to proverbs from the Hausa people, available in a book published by Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co. of London in 1905. The book was writte by Captain G. Merrick, RGA. The title of the book is "Hausa Proverbs". You should be able to get a copy in either PDF or Ebook format easily online from Google Books. http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/poe/poe04.htm is another version online. Christianity made a concerted effort to exterminate the Norse culture after they converted to Christianity. The literary remnants of the culture were lost for centuries and only a few examples survived. The relationship between Christianity and the Pagans of Northern Europe was always one of genocide. History remembers the Viking Raids but generally forgets that the Viking never raided Christendom until after Charlemagne executed 4800 pagan chiefs (who had come peacefully to parlay) for refusing to convert to Christianity. Their king fled to Norway and the Viking raids started. The first scholarly justification for genocide as a policy was written by a Christian monk advocating the genocide of the Christian Polish people because their King had a peace treaty with a pagan kingdom. The teutonic knights waged openly genocidal warfare against the pagan people they fought. Sadly, up until the recent nastiness with Islam, Christianity has been the most hateful genocidal religion in the history of the world. So, few remnants of the pagan religions remain. It is possible that Christianity actually accomplished the genocide of one of our near hominin relatives when the Vikings converted to Christianity. The Holmgang was a mating combat frenzy which became the Berserkergang in combat. It may have been the way Neanderthals or Denisovan man mated. The Berserks and Ulfhedning were hunted down and killed on sight because they were sacred to the Old Gods after the Vikings converted. This could have been genocide to the Y chromosome of another hominin species which had survived until historic times. It is amusing that the Norse culture suffered more complete suppression by Christianity than African cultures suffered at the hands of European Colonial rule. I suppose I should mention http://www.amazon.com/Hundred-Forty-Agnostic-Sermons-More-ebook/dp/B00B6LLZGA/ref=la_B00NI54RBC_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1412670717&sr=1-9 is the URL of a book I have on Amazon. You can look at it as a short series of lectures on history.
