04.01.2022 - Odin´s day offerings - FROM THE WELL OF MÍMIR In the time to come we shall dive into the sources and frequently present you with posts that explore and potent...ially illuminate various subjects from the Norse and Nordic culture and history. Mythology, Runes, Skalds, Sorcery, Folklore, Sacred places, Poetry, Instruments and other historical trivia from the north. Some of these texts will discuss more generally known subjects and some will dig into more obscure matters. The authors will vary. Let us start by giving a short introduction to the mythic character we chose to name this column after! Mímir is a character in Norse mythology, renowned for his knowledge and wisdom. He is the warden of the well of knowledge, Mímisbrunnr, which lies beneath one of the roots of the world tree Yggdrasil. The most generally accepted etymology among philologists suggest that Mímir is likely closely related to the modern English word 'memory' and its associated concepts. The Eddic poem Völuspá stanza 28, references Odin's sacrifice of his eye to Mímir's Well for wisdom, and states that Mímir drinks mead every morning "from the Father of the Slain's (Valfader = Odin) wager." Mímir was beheaded during the Æsir-Vanir War and afterward, the god Odin took his head, embalmed it with herbs so that it would not rot, and spoke charms over it, which gave it the power to speak to him and reveal secrets. It is not certain whether Mímir is one of the Æsir (gods) or a Jotun. On the basis of Hávamál stanza 140, scholars have proposed that Bestla may be Mímir's sister, and therefore Mímir would be Odin's uncle and Jotun descent. However, in the 13th century work Heimskringla, the author Snorri Sturluson lists Mímir as one of the Æsir. Comparative studies show that the motif of a spirit or deity, guarding and offering a life-giving or knowledge-giving drink from a spring/well is known from several other mythologies and shamanistic cults around the world. A resemblance has been shown between the skull rite that Odin carried out with Mime's head and rites and customs found in shamanistic religions that preserve, honor and make magical use of the skull of an old ancestor or the first shaman. Words by Einar Selvik. Stay tuned for more next week!
