Here’s a bit of fun folklore.

The largest rock in Denmark is nothing much to look at if you come from an area with mountains but Denmark is mainly made of sand and dirt that was pushed down from Sweden and Norway during the ice age and they gifted us a few big rocks in the process.

The biggest rock came to rest on Funen and became the focus of much lore. People couldn’t figure out how such a huge rock ended up in the middle of a field and eventually named it Damestenen which means The Lady’s Rock (or very directly and literally translated to LadyStone)

It was named so because people believed it had been thrown by a woman. Sometimes a human woman, sometimes a magical witch and sometimes a troll woman, but either way she supposedly got angry at Svindinge Church and threw the rock at it but missed.

It’s not uncommon to explain large or weird rocks near churches as someone wanting to destroy it. Roskilde Church where all the Danish royals are buried has this stone nearby

It’s said to look like that because the devil or a troll threw it and his fingers dug into the stone.

But The Lady’s Rock is the only one believed to have been thrown by a woman which is pretty fun.

🇩🇰 Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark

Sunday, April 2, 2023

“Palm Sunday has been particularly festive in Odense today. In addition to the fact that it is the birthday of the city child H.C. Andersen, Mads Davidsen was installed into his new office this afternoon as bishop of the Diocese of Funen.

The diocesan ordination, which took place in Odense Cathedral, was witnessed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

According to tradition, the ecclesiastes, which has roots back to the first ecclesiastical constitution immediately after the Reformation, began with a procession of the bishops of the country and the North. Here Mads Davidsen walked at the back, wearing a white fair shirt on the outside of the priest's dress. When the new bishop left the cathedral two hours later, he was now leading, and here was Mads Davidsen wearing the diocese's 120-year-old bishop's robe.”

This is an overhaul of an old post from 5 years ago, because I've added a bunch of stuff which unfortunately does not show up correctly anywhere but ON my blog.

Denmark, Scandinavia, and the Nordic region in Danish

Areas The Nordic countries - De nordiske lande · Norden Scandinavia - Skandinavien Kingdom of Denmark · Danish Realm - Kongeriget Danmark · Danmarks Rige The Kalmar Union · Union of Kalmaris - Kalmarunionen (1397 to 1523) Countries Denmark - Danmark Sweden - Sverige Norway - Norge Finland - Finland Greenland - Grønland · Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenlandic, lit. “Greenlanders’ land") The Faroe Islands - Færøerne · Føroyar (Faroese) Iceland - Island

Languages Danish - dansk Swedish - svensk Norwegian  - norsk · nynorsk · norsk bokmål Finnish - finsk (West) Greenlandic - (vest)grønlandsk · kalaallisut Faroese - færøsk · føroyskt Icelandic - islandsk Minority languages German - tysk (spoken by the German minority in North Schleswig/South Jutland) Sámi - samisk (spoken by the Sámi people in large parts of northern Finland, Norway, and Sweden; the cultural region of Sápmi)¹ Inuktun · Polar Inuit  - nordgrønlandsk · avanersuarmiutut (spoken in Northern Greenland, around Qaanaaq)² East Greenlandic - østgrønlandsk · tunumiisut (spoken in Eastern Greenland/Tunu)² Romani - romani (spoken by the Romani people) Kven - kvensk (spoken by the Kven people in northern Norway)³ Sign Language - tegnsprog⁴ National demonyms⁵ Dane - dansker Swede - svensker Norwegian - nordmand (lit. “northern man”) Finn - finne · finlænder (rare) Greenlander - grønlænder · kalaaleq Faroese · Faroe islander - færing · føroyingur Icelander - islænding German - tysker Non-national ethnicities Romani - romani Sámi - same

Specifically Danish stuff

Places in Denmark⁶ Copenhagen - København Aarhus - Aarhus · Århus (unofficial, but not incorrect spelling) Jutland - Jylland · Hovedlandet (slang) Funen - Fyn Zealand - Sjælland · Djævleøen (slang, lit. “The Devil’s Island”) Major dialects/regiolects based on location Jutland - jysk Zealand - sjællandsk Funen - fynsk Bornholm - bornholmsk All islands (including Zealand + Funen, excluding Bornholm) - ømål (lit. “island language”)

Smaller areas that used to be Denmark Schleswig-Holstein - Slesvig-Holsten⁷ Scania (Skånes län) - Skåne (around 970 to 1658) Halland (Hallands län) - Halland (around 970 to 1645, legally 1658) Blekinge (Blekinge län) - Blekinge (around 970 to 1658) The Virgin Islands of the United States - Jomfruøerne · Dansk-Vestindien (outdated) · De Vestindiske Øer (outdated) (1672 to 1917) Estonia - Estland (Hertugdømmet Estland 1206 to 1346, Øsel 1560 to 1645)⁸

Notes: 1) There are many Sámi languages and dialects, too many to list here. 2) Some argue that East and West Greenlandic are dialects of the same language and that North Greenlandic (Inuktun) is a dialect of Inuktitut. 3) Some do not recognise Kven as a separate language from Finnish. 4) Obviously, there is not 1 (one) Sign Language in the entire Nordic. There are Danish, Norwegian, and Icelandic Sign (which are all related), and Swedish and Finnish Sign (which are related to each other). Danish Sign is also used in Greenland and the Faroe Islands. 5) All nationalities and ethnicities fælleskøn (utrum)/common gender (uter). 6) These are just the major parts that you probably should know 7) The whole Schleswig-Holstein area has been much disputed and is hard to date. It was definitely NOT part of Denmark 1864-1920. 8) All of Estonia was never Danish, but various parts were.

If I screwed up or you have questions, feel free to shoot me a message!

Apparently "hoop snakes" are a thing in Danish and Skånsk folklore????? This book is from the late 1800s so it's not impossible for it to have been influenced by North American fearsome critters, but it is highly unlikely. It also doesn't seem likely that the hoop snake stems from huggenagen, since Denmark and Skåne didn't have that many migrants to the US, though, again, it's not impossible. It seems most likely these creatures just appeared separately. The text reads:

"In Northern Funen, the adder is called "huggenagen." As the adder doesn't exist in this area, folks hold rather fanciful ideas about it. It is said that huggenagen can run faster than a horse, for it takes its tail into its mouth and runs like a wheel along the road. This folklore has been further expanded upon in Skåne. Here grass snakes - it is said - often lay in the middle of the road with intentions of, should someone drive by, jumping through all four wagon wheels. Should it succeed, the grass snake will become a "wheel snake," meaning it can bite its own tail and roll along like a wheel, and then no human will be able to outrun/flee from it."

The book is "Æventyrets Dyreverden" (1887) by Ingvor Bondesen.

Huggenagen is pronounced like HO-ge-NA-yen, with a hard G, like in gift, and an A like in apple.

Gold Germanic bracteates often feature an image of the god Odin along side the ALU runic inscription. This range features a design from DR BR42 bracteate from the island of Funen, Denmark. The runes invoke "houaz" which is Odin as the "High" and there is also the ALU magical inscription. The runes beneath the design invoke him again: "ALU GOD / HOUAZ / WODINAZ" all of which are attested runic invocations of Odin. BUY YOURS HERE
