ISLAND ICELAND AjsLend

The main source of knowledge about the pagan world view is to be found in the Edda of Snorry Sturluson and the Poetic Edda. The 13th century Codex Regius, which is the oldest preserved manuscript containing the Edda poems, is one of the most valuable Icelandic manuscript.

"We all have our fantasy boats,
vessels that we dream of sailing 
away in, into the dream. In my
ships I unite my own fantasy,
precision and the knowledge that
boat builders have developed
throughout the ages. The sun
ship gives us a promise of a
primeval land."

"Around Skolavorduholt hill, fiftheen streets carry names from Norse Mythology. The neighbourhood is sometimes referred to as the Neighbourhood of the Gods as Thor, Freyja, and many more gods from the pagan religion have their own streets here. 

The one eyed and wisdom seeking Odin was the first god to have his namesake here, not surprisingly as he is traditionally considered to be the highest of the gods residing in Asgard (home of the gods) - 1906.

62 "Here in Dimmuborgir the Icelandic Yule Lads live. They are the 13 sons of Gryla and Leppaludi, vicious trolls that live in a big cave in Ludentarborgir. The brothers all have funny names that often refer to their preferences for food or interest. To name few there is Spoon Licker, Sausage Swiper, Skyr Gobbler and the noisy fellow Door Slammer who loves to wake up people by slamming the doors very loudly.


In the summer the Yule Lads can rarely be seen, because they use this season to rest and are sleeping in their caves but as winter comes they wake up and start preparing for christmas. The best time to meet them here in Dimmuborgir is during the month od December when they are busy preparing for Christmas. The best way to find them is to walk the path to Hallarflot and shout loudly "Jolasveinn "

111 dc 3 In the winter of 1973 a military version of a DC-3 (Dakota) US Navy plane ran out of fuel, combined with bad weather, had to crash land on the black sand beach near the town of Vik in South Iceland, luckily everyone on board survived, an attempted recovery led to the crash of a Helicopter and killing some people, with no much luck helping the them, the Americans decided to abandon the whole mess there.
As curious as you and me, a local farmer during his morning stroll found this and to his luck he figured out the pilots had mistakenly switched to the wrong fuel tank and had a full load of fuel on the second tank, the lucky farmer had aviation grade fuel to run his tractors and all farm equipment for a year, stories say the tail was also sold off to a couple who run a hotel out of a DC-3.

- Vikinška kaciga nije imala rogove do 19. veka i pronađena je samo jedna u čitavom stanju u Norveškoj. Pretpostavlja se da su rogovi možda i postojali ali samo kao ukras i da su se nosili u svečanim prilikama.

Vratio si se svojoj veri, odbacio si našu?
Voleo bih da je tako jednostavno

U nežnim kapima kiše iz Raja čujem mog Boga, ali u grmljavini i dalje čujem Tora. To je moja agonija

Nemrut Dagi

The result of one man’s delusions (obmana) of grandeur, the great tomb and temple complex of Nemrut Dağı was built by Antiochus I Epiphanes (64–38 BC), son of Mithridates I Callinicus, the founder of the Commagene kingdom. A breakaway from the Seleucid Empire, covering only a small territory from modern Adıyaman to Gaziantep, the Commagene dynasty wouldn’t rate much more than a passing mention in histories of the region had Antiochus not chosen to build this colossal monument to himself. Having decided he was divine in nature, or at the very least an equal of the gods, he declared: “I, the great King Antiochus have ordered the construction of these temples…on a foundation which will never be demolished…to prove my faith in the gods. At the conclusion of my life I will enter my eternal repose here, and my spirit will ascend to join that of Zeus in heaven.”
Antiochus’s vanity (sujeta) knew no bounds – he claimed descent from Darius the Great of Persia and Alexander the Great – but eventually he went too far, siding with the Parthians against Rome, and was deposed. This was effectively the end of the Commagene kingdom, which afterwards passed into Roman hands.

There were also gods – a syncretism of Iranian, Armenian and Greek which testify to the cultural mix of the area two thousand years ago.  Hercules is there, as is Zeus, Tyche and Apollo.  Their names were inscribed upon them – those Greek ones we recognize from books and movies as well as their Iranian and Armenian counterparts – Vahagn, Aramazd and Ahura Mazda.
Antiochus was half Armenian and half Greek – another reason why his tomb reflects more than just a single culture. This area was a true cross-road of peoples but there was but a single enemy at the time – the Romans. Antiochus managed to keep his kingdom of Commagene independent, even while many Anatolian territories were being annexed. The enemy became a treasured ally.
Antiochus was already part of a dynasty but he wanted to see this preserved. So he created a royal cult and his tomb was built in order for his vassals to worship him after his death. A Greek inscription reveals that he was buried here at the roof of his world as a sign of his parity with the gods.



Sanliurfa

Sanli Urfa (Glorious Urfa) is a city in Eastern Turkey located on the plains of Upper Mesopotamia. Inhabited from ancient times it has been a home to Greeks, Romans, Persians, Urartians, Hurrians, and was annexed by the Ottomon Empire in 1637.



Sanli Urfa is also called the City of the Prophets. It is closely associated with the Biblical Abraham and attached to one of the Mosques is a cave which is reputed to be the birthplace of Abraham. Men and women enter separately and modest dress is required. Close by is the sacred fish pool. It is a large and beautiful pool filled with carp. The story is that Abraham having angered the local king by cutting off the heads of the idols was tossed into a firey furnace. Then a miracle occurred and the wood was transformed into carp and the fire into water. You can feed the carp (there are vendors of food next to the pool) but do not touch them please. Also they cannot be caught or eaten. It is said anyone eating these particular carp which are the descendents of Abraham's carp will go blind.




Attached to Mosque is a wonderful market, full of twists and turns and goods of all kinds. I especially liked the jewlery based on ancient designs and the beautifully sequinned caftans and it is because of my passion for shopping I got left behind in the market by family and guide. I was engrossed in buying and looking and talking and when I looked up everyone was gone. I did not panic but continued shopping and then went to the center of the market, sat down in a lovely spot and had tea, but no family, waited and then went to the Mosque entrance, still no family in sight. And that is when the magic of Sanli Urfa took over. As a lone American woman I attracted a lot of friendly attention. Someone found me a shady spot, put down a newspaper for me to sit on, brought me a cold drink, fanned me and comiserated with me about losing my family. The women came over to talk to me, brought their children, I showed them pictures of my children and grandchildren, I admired their caftans and earrings, they admired mine. The men wanted to talk to me about Turkey and the USA and how I liked Sanli Urfa. This continued for about 30 minutes until our very agitated guide came to retrieve me. I said good bye to my new found friends promising to return and to tell people in USA about Sanli Urfa, a promise I have kept. Off we went to see the old inns (hans) and the fortress and crusader castle. What a marvelous engineering feat to hoist those large stones many stories up. At lunch we ate the local speciality of Cig Kofte (raw meatballs), very delicious. Other choices are available for those who are faint-hearted. I told of my good time at the Mosque and listened to the recriminations of my family about how I lost them!!! After lunch we headed out to Hurran (about 20 miles away). Hurran was the home of Abraham until G-d told him to go to the promised land. The conical houses are so unique, constructed so that they are cool in summer and warm in winter. Even though it was a hot September day it was cool inside and we all had tea. Across from the houses are ruins of ancient Hurran. You can see where the Islamic University was and also the pilgrimage site for the Urartian moon goddess Sin. The walls of Hurran still stand. Throughout this busy day I kept thinking about the people at the Mosque, at how well we communicated even though my Turkish is limited and my Kurdish is non-existent. I felt the magic of Sanli Urfa through its people
