Non mais ils font pas mal de pubs à la TV en ce moment.

ça a l'air bien, j'ai vu en premier le youtubeur Nota Bene en parler récemment. Je me les prendrais bien mais ça doit revenir cher au bout d'un moment si on les prend tous

La mythologie nordique est l'ensemble des mythes provenant d'Europe du Nord (plus particulièrement de la Scandinavie et de l'Islande) à la base du système religieux polythéiste pratiqué dans ces régions au haut Moyen Âge avant leur christianisation. Il s'agit d'une variante régionale et historique de la plus vaste mythologie germanique. Aujourd'hui cette mythologie est surtout associée aux Vikings qui ont exporté leurs croyances au-delà de la Scandinavie, on parle alors aussi de mythologie viking. La mythologie nordique met en scène un nombre important de divinités, de créatures fabuleuses et de héros.

il fait vraiment de bonnes vidéos lui mais celle-ci est une des plus anciennes de sa chaine je crois, on avait du la partager quelque part

[phoenlx]

En attendant de reprendre ce topic (je ne sais pas quand, quand j'aurai le temps) et de le compléter un peu, je vous partage un beau dossier partagé en amont par Morgoth Bauglir sur sa page Facebook, et qui concerne les nains dans la mythologie nordique

Bonne lecture

Autant lire le livre de Lecouteux sur les nains et les elfes au moyen-âge, qui est une véritable bible !

c'est bon à savoir, je note tout ça

là je suis en train de m'écouter cette musique (toujours sur la chaine des musiques médiévales partagées par Bartiméus )
celles-ci sont apparemment liées à l'edda (par l'ensemble séquencia donc ça semble un mélange de sonorités anciennes et d'influences moderne des créateurs)

Untangling among the myriad of musical projects inspired by the Vikings born in recent years is something really difficult. To help those who are looking for something more credible and historically accurate, even if perhaps less easy for the common ear, here is the musical version of the Edda proposed by Enseble Sequentia.
The Edda are the sagas of medieval Iceland, as they are usually called, a series of texts describing various aspects of the society from their laws to their religious beliefs. Some texts are in prose, while some are poetic. The latter are the subject here, and are performed primarily as preserved in the Codex Regius (early thirteenth century).
The sagas of medieval Iceland are some of the West's most fascinating literature, arising from one of the West's most fascinating civilizations. Iceland was settled by the Norse in the late 9th century, and has been inhabited since then. It's cultural distinctions include not only that early exploration and settlement but a democratic parliament as well. Many of the sagas apparently date to this period, and possibly even prior to settlement, but were written down only from around the 13th century.
This poetry and its recitation are inherently oral traditions. There is no musical notation which accompanies it, and so Sequentia's reconstructions are particularly hypothetical. They are based both on their own study of medieval poetry as it is linked to music elsewhere, the various modal gestures entailed, as well as some of the earliest written descriptions (18th century) of Icelandic recitation by European musicians. The amount of effort put into this production is very impressive, based as it was over the course of years of study.
Regarding the resulting music itself, some sections are particularly compelling, and regardless of provenance (whether medieval Iceland per se or the minds of Sequentia), make for a fine program. There is an alternation of more lyrical passages with some more dramatic recitations, as one might generally say this material was typically performed in the bardic tradition. Medieval pronunciation is attempted as well.
Benjamin Bagby, legendary performer and teacher, has always been interested in Iceland, and in fact he lived & worked on that mysterious North Atlantic island during summers as a student, studying the language. It is only natural that his passion for medieval music would find an outlet in the many medieval texts preserved by the Icelanders. In this project (which was staged as a music-drama production in Luxembourg in 1995) the myths of the ‘Edda’ are interwoven, to tell the stories of creation, destruction, and of the gods Odin, Thor and Baldur. Bagby, Thornton and Gaver are joined by long-time colleague Lena Susanne Norin for this first great reconstruction project of a lost musical repertoire, for which Bagby’s work in Icelandic archives was the basis. The philological guiding light in this project was the Icelandic scholar Heimir Pálsson, and the CD was recorded in the church at Skálholt, in Iceland, a place rich in history.

tu l'as lue l'edda ?

[SauronGorthaur]

[Náin]

Une représentation du char de Freya tirés par deux gros chats (qui sont parfois nommés Thófnir (Þófnir) et Högni, ou parfois Brundr et Kælinn, et parfois non nommés, selon les sources) Du fait de leur taille ils font plutôt penser à des lynx ou des chats de forêts norvégiennes.



dans le manga saint seiya nous avons sans doute un clin d'oeil à ces 2 chats avec les animaux totem de sid et bud (qui sont plutôt des tigres à dents de sabre, l'inspiration est double)
