Danheim & Sigurbodi - Hausarnir
We continue to dive into the mystery of the runes.
This time we explore the skull fragment artifact found in Ribe inscribed with a runic spell for protection against dvergar and disease.
In 1973, Denmark. A piece of an old skull from a human was discovered,
which were dated back to the early viking age (around year 725-760)
The skull fragment had a hole drilled through from the inside, but also had rune inscriptions.
It is believed to have been used for magic purposes.
Here is the runes and lyrics used in the song:
Gap var ginnunga
Hin fornu Tr
inn gaf lf
Vili gaf Vit
V gaf sjn, ml og heyrn
Dansk oversttelse:
Ulf/ulv og Odin og Hj-Tyr. Hullet/Buri er hjlp mod dette vrk (denne smerte). Og dvrgen overvundet. Bourr.
English translation:
Ulfr/ Wolf and inn and HtiwR/High-Tr. The hole/Buri is help against this ache (pain). And the dwarf overcome. Bourr.
