Inngangsorð

Ævi og ritstörf Snorra Sturlusonar voru helzta viðfangsefni Sigurðar Nordal á sviði íslenzkra fræða. Að því marki sem niðurstöður Sigurðar í þeim efnum eru enn ráðandi meðal fræðimanna þá gildir enn hið fornkveðna, að skylt er að hafa það heldur er sannara reynist. Í þeim efnum verður vart lengra komist í rangtúlkun á hugmyndum Snorra Sturlusonar en í umsögn Sigurðar Nordal um 3. kafla Gylfaginningar.

I. Umsögn Sigurðar

(Mannlýsingar I, 1986)

Formáli og umgerð Gylfaginningar eru eins og tvöfaldur skíðgarður, sem Snorri smíðar um heim goðanna.  Þau slá varnagla um skoðanir Snorra sjálfs um þann veruleika, sem í goðatrúnni sé fólginn.  Síðan getur goðalífið átt sér frjálsan leikvöll innan þessara vébanda án þess að rekast á eða koma í bága við þær vísindaskoðanir eða trúarbrögð, sem utan þeirra eru.  Nú má Hárr segja það fortakalaust, að Freyr ráði fyrir regni og skini sólar og á hann sé gott að heita til árs og fríðar, þó að þetta sé hvorki í samræmi við trú né siðu Íslendinga á 13 öld.  Hitt hefði gert alla frásögnina sundurlausari og áhrifaminni, ef varnagli hefði verið sleginn við hvert atriði: því trúðu menn í heiðnum sið, að Freyr réði fyrir regni o.s.frv.  Formálinn og umgerðin eru í einu gerð til þess að fullnægja kröfum kirkunnar, sagnfræðinnar og listarinnar.

En þegar inn fyrir skíðgarðinn kom, að því sem hann var sjálfur tilgangurinn: að skýra frá hinni fornu goðafræði, var næsta spurningin, hvernig ætti að skipa efninu.  Goðfræðingum nútímans er tamast að fjalla um goðin út af fyrir sig, hugmyndirnar um upphaf og lok heimsins út af fyrir sig og alls konar hjátrú og vættir sér í lagi.  Má raða þessu á margvíslegan hátt.  Form það, sem Snorri hafði valið sér, spurningar og svör, leyfði hvaða skiptingu og skipun sem vera skyldi, þar sem eitt atriði gat jafnan minnt á annað.  Og í upphafi virðist hann hafa verið í vafa um, hverning ætti að taka á efninu.  Eins og Elucidarius byrjar: “Af því skal þetta upphaf vera þessa máls, að þú seg mér fyrst, hvað guð er” – hefur Gangleri svo mál sitt í 3. kapítula: “Hver er æðstur eða elztur allra goða?”  Þessi kapítuli er vafalaust það lakasta, sem Snorri hefur skrifað, og væri engin missa í, þótt honum væri alveg burtu kippt.  Hann er hvorki í samhengi né samræmi við það, sem á eftir fer.  Alföður sá, sem hér er talað um, er eins konar sambland af Óðni (11 af 12 Óðinsnöfnunum í 3. kap. Standa aftur í 20. kap.) og guði kristinna manna.  Þessi Alföður lifir of allar aldir, en Óðinn ferst í ragnarökkri; hann ræður öllum hlutum, stórum og smáum, svo að ekkert verður eftir handa hinum goðunum; vondir menn fara til Heljar, en þangað fer þó Baldur síðar o.s.frv. En Snorri áttar sig fljótt…  (Mannlýsingar I, Almenna Bókafélagið, 1986, bls. 99-100).

VII. Abomination of Desolation

(Contemporary history)

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might possibly “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

The Assassination of President Kennedy – I

(Wikipedia)

Less than a month after Dylan recorded the song, President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. The next night, Dylan opened a concert with “The Times They Are a-Changin’”; he told biographer Anthony Scaduto, “I thought, ‘Wow, how can I open with that song? I’ll get rocks thrown at me.’ But I had to sing it, my whole concert takes off from there. I know I had no understanding of anything. Something had just gone haywire in the country and they were applauding the song. And I couldn’t understand why they were clapping, or why I wrote the song. I couldn’t understand anything. For me, it was just insane.”

The Assassination of President Kennedy – II

In September 1963, I moved to Cambridge, Mass. with my wife and young daughter to begin graduate studies at the Harvard Department of Economics. Around mid-November, my wife had a very strange dream featuring Jackie Kennedy and President Kennedy, who was about to enter a black hole. My wife warned that he would not come back if he entered the hole. “He must do it for his people,” Jackie said. More on this in Section V.

¹ In 1598 an unknown author of considerable talent and great charm wrote a series of satires, which he called Scialetheia, or A Shadow of Truth.  In his snapdragon verses he described the vanity of the times.  Staying late after the play at the Curtain, he had the wit to see that the dark theatre, vast and secret, represented something unfathomably precious.

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might possibly “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

¹ Gizurr arrived at Reykjaholt on the night after Mauritius mass. They broke up the storehouse where Snorri slept. But he jumped up and out of the storehouse into the small houses which were by the storehouse. There he found Arnbjörn priest and spoke to him. They decided that Snorri should enter the basement which was under the ceiling there in the houses. Gizurr and his men began to search for Snorri in the houses. Then Gizurr found Arnbjörn priest and asked where Snorri was. He said that he did not know. Then Gizurr said that they could not make peace if they did not meet. The priest said that he might perhaps be found if he was promised that his life would be spared. Thereafter they became aware of where Snorri was. And they entered the basement, Markús Marðarson, Símon knútr, Árni beiskr, Þorsteinn Guðinason, Þórarinn Ásgrímsson. Símon knútr asked Árni to strike him dead. “Thou shalt not strike,” said Snorri. “Thou shalt strike,” said Símon.“Thou shalt not strike,” said Snorri. After that Árni inflicted a fatal wound on him, and both he and Þorsteinn finished him off.

Fara menn við þat heim af þingi. – And then people go home from Althing.

Emunah as Faith or Trust in God

The proper counterpart for the general English term „faith“ -as occurring in the expression „principles of faith“- would be the concept of Emunah in Judaism. While it is generally translated as faith or trust in God, the concept of Emunah can more accurately be described as „an innate conviction, a perception of truth that transcends (..)reason.“ Emunah can be enhanced through wisdom, knowledge, understanding and learning of sacred Jewish writings. But Emunah is not simply based on reason, nor can it be understood as the opposite of or standing in contrast to reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_principles_of_faith

Message from a Friend – A Mathematical Expert

9 October 2016

“The bigness of the numbers that you are getting represents an embarrassment to persons who approve of gematria only for as long as the numbers which it generates have each no more than four digits.  But of course we have to go further and grow up.  A hugely important Hebrew-gematric number, relating to the precise encodement of the square and cube roots of two and three, is 198944.”

Comment

My plan had been to post today examples of the Saga Hero aspect in Shakespeare Myth, including:

Edward Oxenford

511378 – 1000 + 4000 + 6098 + 100 = 520576

Francis Bacon

509741 + 9953 – 1000 + 4000 – 2118 = 520576

Ben Jonson on Shakespeare

516432 + 1 + 3045 + 666 + 432 = 520576

The 46th Psalm

433745 + 7196 + 1000 – 5753 + 84288 + 100 = 520576

Here, instead, are examples of the Saga Hero aspect which include also the “hugely important Hebrew-gematria number” 198944.

¹ Gangleri began his questioning thus: „Who is foremost, or oldest, of all the gods?“ Hárr [High] answered: „He is called in our speech Allfather, but in the Elder Ásgard he had twelve names: one is Allfather; the second is Lord, or Lord of Hosts; the third is Nikarr, or Spear-Lord; the fourth is Nikudr, or Striker; the fifth is Knower of Many Things; the sixth, Fulfiller of Wishes; the seventh, Far-Speaking One; the eighth, The Shaker, or He that Putteth the Armies to Flight; the ninth, The Burner; the tenth, The Destroyer; the eleventh, The Protector; the twelfth, Gelding.“ Then asked Gangleri: „Where is this god, or what power hath he, or what hath he wrought that is a glorious deed?“ Hárr made answer: „He lives throughout all ages and governs all his realm, and directs all things, great and small.“ Then said Jafnhárr [Equally High]: „He fashioned heaven and earth and air, and all things which are in them.“ Then. spake Thridi [Third]: „The greatest of all is this: that he made man, and gave him the spirit, which shall live and never perish, though the flesh-frame rot to mould, or burn to ashes; and all men shall live, such as are just in action, and be with himself in the place called Gimlé. But evil men go to Hel and thence down to the Misty Hel; and that is down in the ninth world.“ Then said Gangleri: „What did he before heaven and earth were made?“ And Hárr answered: „He was then with the Rime-Giants.“

² Now those two, Skarphedinn and Hogni, were out of doors one evening by Gunnar’s cairn on the south side.  The moon and stars were shining clear and bright, but every now and then the clouds drove over them.  Then all at once they thought they saw the cairn standing open, and lo!  Gunnar had turned himself in the cairn and looked at the moon.  They thought they saw four lights burning in the cairn, and none of them threw a shadow.  They saw that Gunnar was merry, and he wore a joyful face.  He sang a song, and so loud, that it might have been heard though they had been further off.

„He that lavished rings in largesse,

When the fights’ red rain-drips fell,

Bright of face, with heart-strings hardy,

Hogni’s father met his fate;

Then his brow with helmet shrouding,

Bearing battle-shield, he spake,

`I will die the prop of battle,

Sooner die than yield an inch,

Yes, sooner die than yield an inch.“

After that the cairn was shut up again.

„Wouldst thou believe these tokens if Njal or I told them to thee?“ says Skarphedinn. „I would believe them,“ he says, „if Njal told them, for it is said he never lies.“ „Such tokens as these mean much,“ says Skarphedinn, „when he shows himself to us, he who would sooner die than yield to his foes; and see how he has taught us what we ought to do.“

³ Translation: The shrine which stands on altar with holy relics is given by Magnus and Snorri, one-half each of them, and this church treasure is additional to that which is counted earlier.

Nor war, nor fire, nor flood,

Nor venomous time that eats our lives away.

Then let that morning come, as come it will,

When this disguise I carry shall be no more,

And all the treacherous years of life undone,

And yet my name shall rise to heavenly music,

The deathless music of the circling stars.

As long as Rome is the Eternal City

These lines shall echo from the lips of men,

As long as poetry speaks truth on earth,

That immortality is mine to wear.

There the Chapter number is shown as 76 not 77, and inserted towards the end is a song which is not included in the principal M (for Möðruvallabók):

Gunnar woke up in his hall and said – „Thou hast been sorely treated, Sam, my fosterling, and this warning is so meant that our two deaths will not be far apart.“

Gunnar’s hall was made all of wood, and roofed with beams above, and there were window-slits under the beams that carried the roof, and they were fitted with shutters. Gunnar slept in a loft above the hall, and so did Hallgerdr and his mother. Now when they were come near to the house they knew not whether Gunnar were at home, and bade that some one would go straight up to the house and see if he could find out. But the rest sat them down on the ground. Thorgrim the Easterling went and began to climb up on the hall; Gunnar sees that a red kirtle passed before the windowslit, and thrusts out the bill, and smote him on the middle. Thorgrim’s feet slipped from under him, and he dropped his shield, and down he toppled from the roof. Then he goes to Gizur and his band as they sat on the ground. Gizur looked at him and said – „Well, is Gunnar at home?“ „Find that out for yourselves,“ said Thorgrim; „but this I am sure of, that his bill is at home,“ and with that he fell down dead. Then they made for the buildings. Gunnar shot out arrows at them, and made a stout defence, and they could get nothing done. Then some of them got into the out-houses and tried to attack him thence, but Gunnar found them out with his arrows there also, and still they could get nothing done. So it went on for while, then they took a rest, and made a second onslaught. Gunnar still shot out at them, and they could do nothing, and fell off the second time. Then Gizur the white said- „Let us press on harder; nothing comes of our onslaught.“ Then they made a third bout of it, and were long at it, and then they fell off again.

Gunnar said, „There lies on arrow outside on the wall, and it is one of their shafts; I will shoot at them with it, and it will be a shame to them if they get a hurt from their own weapons“. His mother said, „Do not so, my son; nor rouse them again when they have already fallen off from the attack“. But Gunnar caught up the arrow and shot it after them, and struck Eylif Aunund’s son, and he got a great wound; he was standing all by himself, and they knew not that he was wounded. „Out came an arm yonder,“ says Gizur, „and there was a gold ring on it, and took an arrow from the roof and they would not look outside for shafts if there were enough in doors; and now ye shall make a fresh onslaught.“ „Let us burn him house and all,“ said Mord. „That shall never be,“ says Gizur, „though I knew that my life lay on it; but it is easy for thee to find out some plan, such a cunning man as thou art said to be.“

Some ropes lay there on the ground, and they were often used to strengthen the roof. Then Mord said – „Let us take the ropes and throw one end over the end of the carrying beams, but let us fasten the other end to these rocks and twist them tight with levers, and so pull the roof off the hall.“ So they took the ropes and all lent a hand to carry this out, and before Gunnar was aware of it, they had pulled the whole roof off the hall. Then Gunnar still shoots with his bow so that they could never come nigh him. Then Mord said again that they must burn the house over Gunnar’s head. But Gizur said – „I know not why thou wilt speak of that which no one else wishes, and that shall never be.“

Just then Thorbrand Thorleik’s son sprang up on the roof, and cuts asunder Gunnar’s bowstring. Gunnar clutches the bill with both hands, and turns on him quickly and drives it through him, and hurls him down on the ground. Then up sprung Asbrand his brother. Gunnar thrusts at him with the bill, and he threw his shield before the blow, but the bill passed clean through the shield and broke both his arms, and down he fell from the wall. Gunnar had already wounded eight men and slain those twain.  By that time Gunnar had got two wounds, and all men said that he never once winced either at wounds or death.

Then Gunnar said to Hallgerdr, „Give me two locks of thy hair, and ye two, my mother and thou, twist them together into a bowstring for me.“ „Does aught lie on it?“ she says. „My life lies on it,“ he said; „for they will never come to close quarters with me if I can keep them off with my bow.“ „Well!“ she says, „now I will call to thy mind that slap on the face which thou gavest me; and I care never a whit whether thou holdest out a long while or a short.“ „Every one has something to boast of,“ says Gunnar, „and I will ask thee no more for this.“ „Thou behavest ill,“ said Rannveig, „and this shame shall long be had in mind.“

Gunnar made a stout and bold defence, and now wounds other eight men with such sore wounds that many lay at death’s door. Gunnar keeps them all off until he fell worn out with toil. Then they wounded him with many and great wounds, but still he got away out of their hands, and held his own against them a while longer, but at last it came about that they slew him.

Prologue

The murder of the Brennu-Njálssaga character Höskuldr Hvítanessgoði by the sons of Njáll and his son-in-law Kári (Einar Pálsson’s hypothesis: Time and Space personified) is the event which triggers a chain of events that culminates in the burning of Njáll, his wife, sons and grandson Þórðr Kárason. Kári himself is the only one to escape alive from the burning farmstead.

It is then up to Kári to avenge the burning of Njáll (Einar Pálsson’s hypothesis: Monad personified). The final act of revenge takes place in Britain (Wales), where Kári encounters arsonist Kolr Þorsteinsson at a market, where Kolr is buying/counting silver. Kári runs up to him and chops off his head – “and the head spoke ten as it flew off the body”.

The imagery signals the end of one cycle of life/death and the beginning of another cycle. The account of the slaying of Kolr notes that he had been the most “derisive” of all the arsonists – here construed to signal Ben Jonson’s Poet-Ape in the Shakespeare Opus a.k.a. Stratfordian Will Shakspere.

As for Höskuldr Hvítanessgoði, his “dying words” – Guð hjálpi mér en fyrirgefi yðr, Cipher Value 11884 – is one of several means of identifying him with Snorri Sturluson, as in 7000 + 4884 = 11884, where 7000 = Microcosmos or Man in God’s Image and 4884 = Reykjaholt, Snorri Sturluson’s estate where he was “murdered” in the night of Autumnal Equinox, 23 September 1241.

¹ Translation by Sir George Webb Dasent (1861)

(Names changed to 13^th century Icelandic)

It happened one day that Mörðr came to Bergþórshváll. He and Kári and Njáll’s sons fell a-talking at once, and Mörðr slanders Höskuldr after his wont, and has now many new tales to tell, and does naught but egg Skarpheðinn and them on to slay Höskuldr, and said he would be beforehand with them if they did not fall on him at once. „I will let thee have thy way in this,“ says Skarpheðinn, „if thou wilt fare with us, and have some hand in it.“ „That I am ready to do,“ says Mörðr, and so they bound that fast with promises, and he was to come there that evening.

Bergþóra asked Njáll -„What are they talking about out of doors?“ „I am not in their counsels,“ says Njáll, „but I was seldom left out of them when their plans were good.“

Skarpheðinn did not lie down to rest that evening, nor his brothers, nor Kári. That same night, when it was well-nigh spent, came Mörðr Valgarðsson, and Njáll’s sons and Kári took their weapons and rode away. They fared till they came to Ossabæ, and bided there by a fence. The weather was good, and the sun just risen.

About that time Höskuldr, the Hvítanessgoði, awoke; he put on his clothes, and threw over him his cloak, Flosi’s gift. He took his corn-sieve, and had his sword in his other hand, and walks towards the fence, and sows the corn as he goes. Skarpheðinn and his band had agreed that they would all give him a wound. Skarpheðinn sprang up from behind the fence, but when Höskuldr saw him he wanted to turn away, then Skarpheðinn ran up to him and said – „Don’t try to turn on thy heel, Hvítanessgoði,“ and hews at him, and the blow came on his head, and he fell on his knees. Höskuldr said these words when he fell – „God help me, and forgive you!“ Then they all ran up to him and gave him wounds.

After that Mörðr said – „A plan comes into my mind.“ „What is that?“ says Skarphedinn. „That I shall fare home as soon as I can, but after that I will fare up to Grjótá, and tell them the tidings, and say ’tis an ill deed; but I know surely that Þorgerðr will ask me to give notice of the slaying, and I will do that, for that will be the surest way to spoil their suit. I will also send a man to Ossabæ, and know how soon they take any counsel in the matter, and that man will learn all these tidings thence, and I will make believe that I have heard them from him.“ „Do so by all means,“ says Skarpheðinn.

Those brothers fared home, and Kári with them, and when they came home they told Njáll the tidings. „Sorrowful tidings are these,“ says Njáll, „and such are ill to hear, for sooth to say this grief touches me so nearly, that methinks it were better to have lost two of my sons and that Höskuldr lived.“ „It is some excuse for thee,“ says Skarpheðinn, „that thou art an old man, and it is to be looked for that this touches thee nearly.“ „But this,“ says Njáll, „no less than old age, is why I grieve, that I know better than thou what will come after.“ „What will come after?“ says Skarpheðinn. „My death,“ says Njáll, „and the death of my wife and of all my sons.“ „What dost thou foretell for me?“ says Kári. „They will have hard work to go against thy good fortune, for thou wilt be more than a match for all of them.“ This one thing touched Njáll so nearly that he could never speak of it without shedding tears.

² Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might possibly “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.
