Richard Wagner - DAS RHEINGOLD - Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla (Solti, 1958)

Meyerbeer Smith


287,643 views  - August 19, 2016

DAS RHEINGOLD
Vorabend des Bühnenfestspiels ‘Der Ring des Nibelungen’
Composer and librettist: Richard Wagner (1813–1883)
First performance: Nationaltheater, Munich, 22 September 1869

SETTING: In and around the Rhine, mythic times

PLOT: At the bottom of the river Rhine, the Nibelung dwarf Alberich steals the Rhine gold from the Rhinemaidens and, renouncing love, forges it into a ring of power.  Elsewhere, Wotan (=Odin), ruler of the gods, has ordered the giants Fafner and Fasolt to build a castle.  Wotan refuses to give them the price they asked: Freia, goddess of youth and beauty.  The giants kidnap Freia, and will only return her in exchange for Alberich’s treasure.  Without Freia’s golden apples, the gods begin to grow old.  Wotan and Loge descend into Nibelheim, where Alberich has used the ring to make the other Nibelungs his slaves.  They capture Alberich, and take him to their mountain top.  They force Alberich to give up his treasure, including the ring, which Alberich curses.  Fafner and Fasolt quarrel over the treasure, and Fafner kills Fasolt.  The gods enter their new home, which Wotan names Walhall (Valhalla).  The Rhinemaidens lament the loss of their gold.


Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla

Fafner has just slain Fasolt, to the horror of the gods.  Donner (=Thor) god of thunder, summons a storm to clear the air.  The clouds part to reveal a rainbow bridge spanning the Rhine.  Wotan praises the majesty of Valhalla, and leads the gods across the bridge.  Loge (=Loki), god of fire, hangs back; he believes the gods are hastening to their end, and considers turning himself back into fire.  The Rhinemaidens ask the gods to return the gold, but Wotan orders them to be quiet.  Loge tells them that they must now bask in the glory of the gods.

Chart of important Wiccan symbols every Witch should know and their meaning. Also: the wheel of the year, runes, and alchemical elements: Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and Spirit, and other protection sigils.

From the Horned God and Moon Goddess to the Witches Knot, these wiccan magic symbols are used for protection, power, good luck, love and a lot more. Their origins and history can be traced back to the ancient Greek, Irish and even Hindu traditions.

Like other religions, Wicca has its own religious symbols which carry spiritual meanings and sacred power. You have likely seen some of these pictures before, so here's an opportunity to learn their meanings and origins. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo of a pagan symbol, a sigil, or wear a Wiccan charm, learn as much as you can about the origin of the symbol so you can wear it respectfully.

How to use these Wiccan symbols? You could charge them as sigils by carving them or drawing them on a piece of clothing, as jewelry, or in your bedroom/home. Some witches like to hang them near the front door or outside and use them as warding symbols of protection. You could also get a tattoo of a Wiccan symbol to remind you everyday of your faith and your identity as a Witch.

A brief interchange I had from this video lead me to a fundamental question


Deagánach Ó Marúnacathasaigh

The Triskelion represents Manannán Mac Lir the Irish / Celtic God of the Sea.

The Torqu ( what you call the horned God) is one of the many symbols OF Cernunnos the Irish / Celtic God of Nature

An snaidhm or The Celtic Knot is the symbol that represents Bríghíd the Irish Goddess of Agriculture, blacksmithing, fertillity, craftsmanship, childbirth and healing



Joseph

Cernunnos was the regional name in Gaul (modern day France), but there were horned gods in many places.



Deagánach Ó Marúnacathasaigh

@Joseph  Yes he was a general Celtic deity but I'm afraid no one would know the name Chornachahaon which is the Irish Cernunnos

 

What was the name for the Horned God in the Val Camonica?



************

 

 

Cerniéra - The horned god in Val Camonica?

If Mòna is the name of the Goddess in Camunian, then what was the name of the God? There are many names of the Horned God across western Europe. Cernunnos is the one that most comes to mind, with a lot of local names: Cern, Cernunno, Cerunico, Kern, Kernunno, Kernunnos, etc. I was able to find one possibility for the Camunian Horned God: "Cerniéra." This word means "interlocking closure," which is cryptic enough. In Asatru, the word Odin can be translated as "master of the order," which possibly could give a clue as the two definitions seem to convey a similar type of message and resonance. Interestingly enough, in the Camunian dialect, the word for "order" is "urdèn" which sounds like Odin! I don't think there's a religious connection there, but I do think that there is a Proto-European linguistic connection as many of the words in Camunian are Proto-European and extremely ancient.

The men in so many of these traditions were the "head of the family," while the women were the "head of the house," and that found its way into Christian cultures. In Italian culture, the mother is at the center of the family, while the father is the final authority, but that authority is not absolute. The Father is Law, while the Mother is Justice. Going clear back into the ancient world, the husband was out on the hunt, or defending the tribe, clan, or homestead, while the wife stayed at home with the children and took care of domestic or village life, including leadership roles within that village and garden. Later, the male took care of economic matters, while the wife took care of domestic matters, so they didn't collectively "compete." However, they competed within their own social milieu. So were the divine masculine and divine feminine energies in the old pagan Val Camonica defined as Cerniéra and Mòna?

Of course, this would have been before the Latin language and the Phoenician system of letters. So academically, it would have been altered as "Cerniero" and "Mona" without the accent marks. The Gaelic language shown above is just as mysterious as the Camuno-Valtellinese-Orobie language was. At least in Gaelic, I think that the language can be studied and spoken, while the ancient language of the latter cannot as it was altered by Gaulish, then by Etruscans when they migrated into ancient Rhaetia, then by Latin after the Roman conquest, then by Germanic, and finally being replaced by Italian. All we have are clues and comparisons to go by. Also, there must have been so many words that were eventually just not used anymore, and forgotten, and didn't make it into the latter days of when the Lombard language was a truly living language in the Alps of Lombardy and a few locales in Switzerland.

Haliurunas - Gothic Witches

[Above: Nordic, Icelandic and Germanic Magical and Mystical Symbols]

 

Haliurunas

Haliurunas, haljarunae, Haliurunnas, haliurunnae, etc., were Gothic "witches" (also called priestesses, seeresses, shamans or wise women) who appear once in Getica, a 6th century work on Gothic history. The account tells that the early Goth king Filimer found witches among his people when they had settled north of the Black Sea, and that he banished them to exile.

 

Etymology

The name has been emended as the Goth-Latin forms haliurunnas, or haljarunae (and variations of the two forms) from several variants in the ms, i.e. aliorumnas, alyrumnas, aliorunas and aliuruncas.

An illustration of a later North Germanic counterpart of the Haliurunas, who was buried with the wand from Klinta by Mats Vänehem (Swedish History Museum)

The first element halju- is a variant of halja- 'Hell' (i.e. 'Hel, the abode of the dead'), but it has also been suggested that the first element does not refer to the realm of the dead, but instead directly to Hel, the goddess of the dead. Scardigli (1973) has analysed the second element as runnas, from *rinnan 'to run', and so the word would mean 'hell runners', i.e. female shamans. Lehmann (1986) considers this analysis preferable to Müllenhoff's who analyzed it as haljo-runas and compared it to OHG holz-rûna 'witch'.

However, others are of the same opinion as Müllenhoff, and analyse the second element as runas, and so it is considered to be cognate with Old English, hellerune ('seeress' or 'witch') and OHG hellirûna ('necromancy') and hellirunari ('necromancer'). Orel follows this interpretation and reconstructs it as the Proto-Germanic form *χalja-rūnō(n) in which the first element is *χaljō 'hel, the abode of the dead', and the second is *rūnō ('mystery, secret').

During Proto-Germanic times, the word *rūnō still referred to chanting and not to letters (rune), and in the sense 'incantation' it was probably borrowed from Proto-Germanic into Finnish where runo means 'poem'.

Klaeber and Niles et al. write the Latin-Gothic word as haljarunae and comment that the word appears in Beowulf in hwyder helrūnan where it means 'such demons', and it shows that the word would have been helrūne in the nominative singular. Neidorf adds that the use of the word in Beowulf supports the early 8th century dating of the poem, because besides the unambiguous attestation in the 6th century Getica (haljarunae), it is only attested in the 8th century Aldhelmian glosses, where it appears five times. The word is glossed consistently as divinatrix ('seeress') and phitonissa ('witch'), and twice wicca ('witch') is listed as a synonym. The appearance of the word in these early sources shows that in the 8th century helrūne and wicca were competing terms, but helrūne was out-competed very early in the Anglo-Saxon language and so the word wicca dominates with 28 attestations.

Lukman (1949) argued that Cassiodorus was inspired by a Roman account about a Germanic seeress whose name appeared in the form Auriniam, but the word haliurunna is generally considered to be an authentic Gothic word.




Seeress (Germanic)

In Germanic paganism, a seeress is a woman said to have the ability to foretell future events and perform sorcery. They are also referred to with many other names meaning "prophetess", "staff bearer", "wise woman" and "sorceress", and they are frequently called witches or priestesses both in early sources and in modern scholarship.

They were an expression of the pre-Christian shamanic traditions of Europe, and they held an authoritative position in Germanic society. Mentions of Germanic seeresses occur as early as the Roman era, when, for example, they at times led armed resistance against Roman rule and acted as envoys to Rome. After the Roman Era, seeresses occur in records among the North Germanic people, where they form a reoccurring motif in Norse mythology. Both the classical and the Norse accounts imply that they used wands, and describe them as sitting on raised platforms during séances.

Ancient Roman and Greek literature records the name of several Germanic seeresses, including Albruna, Veleda, Ganna, and, by way of an archaeological find, Waluburg. Norse mythology mentions several seeresses, some of them by name, including Heimlaug völva, Þorbjörg lítilvölva, Þordís spákona, and Þuríðr Sundafyllir. In North Germanic religion, the goddess Freyja has a particular association with seeresses, and there are indications that the Viking princess and Russian saint, Olga of Kiev, was one such, serving as a "priestess of Freyja" among the Scandinavian elite in Kievan Rus' before they converted to Christianity.

Archaeologists have identified several graves that appear to be the remains of Scandinavian seeresses. These graves contain objects such as wands, seeds with hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac properties, and a variety of items indicating high status.

Societal beliefs about the practices and abilities of seeresses would contribute to the development of the European concept of "witches", because their practices survived Christianization, although the practitioners became marginalized, and evolved into north European mediaeval witchcraft. Germanic seeresses are mentioned in popular culture in a variety of contexts. In Germanic Heathenry, a modern practice of Germanic pagan religion, seeresses once again play a role.
 

 

************

 

Remnants of ancient Proto-European witchcraft?

I remember in the 1958 film 'The Vikings', a seeress was portrayed. Now I really don't know if that was a carryover from earlier Proto-European culture, something inherent to Asatru (used as a catch-all term here), or something that just developed on its own. I think regionally, it was probably a combination of thing. The Haliurunas were Gothic witches, but among Goths who had settled north of the Black Sea, or what is now Ukraine. The Goths spread out everywhere during the great Germanic migrations. When we look at accounts of witchcraft that existed in ancient Greece, it was separate from the Greece pantheon of gods, just as in the above example where this witchcraft apparently was separate from Asatru.

"The Blood Countess"

The above music by 'Bathory' and the above quote seem to both lead directly to Countess Elizabeth Báthory, a Medieval Hungarian noblewoman who was accused of crimes that would make her one of the worst serial killers in history. According to Wikipedia, "Báthory and four of her servants were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls and women between 1590 and 1610. Her servants were put on trial and convicted, whereas Báthory was confined to her home. She was imprisoned within Castle of Csejte." According to legend, she often bathed in her victims blood. Apparently many historians believe that she was the victim of a witch-hunt, and just the nature of the accusation sounds vampiric and especially being in central Europe.

Valda Hansen

I've heard people refer to Jamie Lee Curtis as "the original scream queen," which I assume goes back to the film 'Halloween' (1980). I think that title is purposely fleeting in its usage. After all, Fay Wray in the original 'King Kong" (1933) goes back a lot longer, and there were silent film actresses long before that. However, when it comes to the more overt scream queens, maybe Valda Hansen should come to mind. She is best known for appearing in Ed Wood films starting in the 1950s.

Valda also appeared in numerous films which were not in her official filmography. She also appeared in many horror, mystery, and true crime magazines. Those were the defacto "websites" of their day, a bit outside the fray of the mainstream. Although a bit racy, at least for that time, apparently she never crossed the line into anything even remotely disreputable. She just really wanted to be an actress, and missed the post 1980 boom in the number of films and opportunities where numerous actresses and actors could make well over a hundred films in the B-circuit.

Her parents were immigrants; her father from Denmark, and her mother from France. The 5'6" young woman with the pin-up looks, who was originally from down there in Los Angeles, was actually discovered by Ed Wood while performing in a play. Apparently her personality was just as she appeared and photographed... a charmer. After twenty years or so, she actually didn't retire in 1975, but there just weren't opportunities for a little-known actress over forty. If she isn't well-known, then she is at least something of a horror genre cult figure.

I think the 1994 film 'Ed Wood', although there was no character of her in the film, did spark interest in Ed Wood films... and that led to some discovering of her work. She had a less-than-ten-second role in the 1972 film 'The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid', but it was enough time to show sort've an artistic view of her perfect body. Sadly, Valda Hansen passed away at only sixty of cancer, probably unnecessarily. $800 was raised for her to have a mole on her leg removed, and she didn't receive treatment after that because she didn't have any health plan. In the 1992 documentary about Ed Wood entitled 'Flying Saucers Over Hollywood: The 'Plan 9' Companion', linked below, she was interviewed and still looked cute and with that lively-innocent personality. She passed away the next year.

"Valda Hansen: Farewell to the White Ghost" (pgs. 54-55)


Actress Valda Hansen (1932-1993) was the blonde bombshell who vampily portrayed the con artist known as the White Ghost in Ed Wood's Night of the Ghouls in 1959. After years removed from the public spotlight, Valda briefly resurfaced in the 1990s to reminisce fondly about Eddie in Nightmare of Ecstasy and the documentary Flying Saucers Over Hollywood. She died of cancer at the age of 60 in July 1993, a year before this issue was released. Her death, in fact, had already merited mention in Cult Movies #8. "Farewell to the White Ghost" is a fond goodbye to the departed starlet, written by Cult Movies publisher Buddy Barnett, based on an interview with Hansen by Cult Movies editor-in-chief Mike Copner.

Valda Hansen is one of those intriguing peripheral figures in the Wood story, a very sexy actress who might have been a big star had she gotten a few lucky breaks. Drew Friedman was sufficiently interested in Hansen to devote one of his Ed Wood trading cards to her. "Farewell to the White Ghost" helps to flesh her out a little more. Ed first discovered Valda when she was a teenage stage actress. It was he who suggested she peroxide her naturally-tawny hair in order to look older.

Personally, I think it's noteworthy that Eddie's other great loves, Dolores Fuller and Kathy Wood, were also blondes. Hansen's promising '50s career as a studio contract player, unfortunately, was derailed by her scandalous romance with George White, a film editor many years her senior. After White's death, Hansen left showbiz for other pursuits. It was a "torrid affair" with B-movie mainstay Tony Cardoza, himself a supporting player in Night of the Ghouls, which brought her back to motion pictures in the 1970s with such credits as Wham! Bam! Thank You, Spaceman! (1975). She speaks with kindness and generosity about both Ed Wood and Bela Lugosi, though she does relate the canard that Lugosi drank formaldehyde. (This is an urban myth that wound up in the Ed Wood screenplay.)



Of Ed Wood, who clearly had a crush on her, Valda says:

Ed was very metaphysical.  I don't care about all this stuff about him being the world's worst director, who cares, but he was a very metaphysical person. He used to call me late into the night, he always called me lover. He'd say, "Lover, only you understand what I'm going through tonight, only you. My soul is in torment. Do you understand, lover?" He was always a little drunk at the time. But, I understood him. He used to talk about death and his feelings about death. He used to reminisce about Bela Lugosi and missed opportunities of [Ed's] career. But, he was very metaphysical and believed strongly in life after death. I believe he's still with us, I've sensed his presence many times.

Night of the Ghouls is a horror film written and directed by Ed Wood. The film was shot between April and May 1958.According to actors Paul Marco and Valda Hansen, the film had a local preview in March 1959 at the Vista Theatre in Hollywood where it played on a double bill with the 1959 Lana Turner movie Imitation of Life (which premiered on March 17, 1959). It was never sold to television, and was thought for years to be a lost film. It was only released directly to video as Night of the Ghouls by Wade Williams in 1984.

The film features some reoccurring cast members and characters from Wood's 1955 Bride of the Monster, including Tor Johnson reprising his role of Lobo and Paul Marco again playing the character of Kelton the cop, while the Amazing Criswell plays himself in the frame story of the film. Another returning character is Police Captain Robbins of Homicide, although the character was played by Harvey B. Dunn in Bride, and by Johnny Carpenter in Night.

"Precious and Few", by American Pop rock band Climax, peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and #1 on Cashbox magazine's Top 100 singles chart. The recording sold over one million copies and was certified gold in 1972. It was their biggest hit during the group's six year tenure. The song was actually first recorded and released in 1970 and then archived under that label until it was re-tooled, along with their other material, under a new label turning it into a high-powered ballad with lead singer Sonny Geraci. It should be noted that Climax was the first band to record "Rock and Roll Heaven" that was later recorded by The Righteous Brothers and rejuvenating the duo's career.
