The old man (Odin) places the magic sword Gram into a mighty oak tree Barnstokkr after entering the hall of the Völsungs, saying that it could belong only to the warrior who could pull it out, and whosoever could would be assured victory in battle.

“Will the modern world follow this fatal course right to the end, or will a new readjustment intervene once more, as it did in the case of the Greco-Latin decadence, before it reaches the bottom of the abyss into which it is being drawn? It would seem that a halt midway is no longer possible since, according to all the indications furnished by the traditional doctrines, we have in fact entered upon the last phase of the Kali-Yuga, the darkest period of this “dark age”, the state of dissolution from which it is impossible to emerge otherwise than by a cataclysm, since it is not a mere readjustment that is necessary at such a stage, but a complete renovation.
Disorder and confusion prevail in every domain and have been carried to a point far surpassing all that has been known previously, so that, issuing from the West, they now threaten to invade the whole world; we know full well that their triumph can never be other than apparent and transitory, but such are the proportions which it has reached, that it would appear to be the sign of the gravest of all the crises through which mankind has passed in the course of its present cycle. Have we not arrived at that terrible age, announced in the Sacred Books of India, “when the castes shall be mingled, when even the family shall no longer exist”?
It is only necessary to look around in order to be convinced that this state is truly that of the world of today, and to see on all sides that profound degeneracy which the Gospel terms “the abomination of desolation”. The gravity of the situation cannot be minimized; it should be envisaged such as it is, without optimism but also without pessimism, for as we have already said, the end of the old world will be also the beginning of a new one.
(...)
the point at which the “descent” is completely accomplished, where “the wheel stops turning”—at least for the instant marking the passage from one cycle to another—it is necessary to conclude that, until this point is actually attained, it is impossible that these things should be understood by men in general, but only by the small number of those who are destined to prepare, in one way or in another, the germs of the future cycle.”

The origin of the horned Viking helmet
Tumblr media
The Vikings are stereotypically imagined as brutal warriors with horned helmets. However no historic images exist of “Norsemen with horned helmets”. And we have found plenty of helmets from that era and none of them have horns. So where does the idea come from?
During German Romanticism, Wagner wrote his four opera’s making up Der Ring des Nibelungen. To perform the opera’s there needs to be stages, props, famous singers for the opening night and… costumes.
Carl Emil Doepler was a Polish born German artist who specialized in illustrations for books and newspapers but was also a costume designer. After having met Richard Wagner, he was asked to design the costumes for the opera’s.
Doepler didn’t conduct any research to Germanic dress, and consistent with the Romantic era, he choose designs that speak to one’s emotions, rather than a “set academic/artistic standard”.
The opera’s themselves were a huge hit with the Bayreuther crowd and Germany. Besides the praise for the opera’s stories, music and leitmotivs, Doepler was praised for his designs. He would make many illustrations of Nordic figures which all were held in high regard.
When people talked about Vikings, the only image that would come to mind -because it was pretty much the only one there was- were people in horned helmets, helmets with wings, big wooden shields and armor on. Because that was the reference point people had.
It’s kind of similar to thinking that the MCU’s rendition of Vikings and Germans is historically accurate, but it spoke to people’s minds. And it stuck.
Carl Emil Doepler, “Odin on Hildskjalf” 18th century, Germany.
(Aka the most famous drawing of Odin on the internet)
