Is comhartha \u00e9 an Valknut at\u00e1 comhdh\u00e9anta de thr\u00ed thriant\u00e1n fite fuaite le ch\u00e9ile. Tagann s\u00e9 \u00f3 shaol na Gearm\u00e1nach-Lochlannach<\/a> agus is aithnid \u00e9 go pr\u00edomha \u00f3 aimsir na Lochlannach.<\/p>

T\u00e1 s\u00e9 le f\u00e1il ar\u00eds agus ar\u00eds eile ar chlocha picti\u00fair agus ar r\u00e9ada aonair \u00f3n tr\u00e9imhse sin. T\u00e1 a fhoirm gheoim\u00e9adrach glan agus sol\u00e9ite.

B\u00edonn an Valknut le feice\u00e1il in aon chomhth\u00e9acs \u00e1irithe amh\u00e1in i gc\u00f3na\u00ed, nach m\u00f3r. Feictear \u00e9 in aice le l\u00e9ar\u00e1id\u00ed a bhaineann leis an dia Odin, le cath agus le b\u00e1s. Is \u00e9 an breathn\u00fa seo an eochairleid is t\u00e1bhachta\u00ed lena l\u00e9irmh\u00edni\u00fa. \u00d3n chomhth\u00e9acs is f\u00e9idir a thuiscint c\u00e9n r\u00e9imse lena mbaineann an comhartha.<\/p>

San eola\u00edocht reiligi\u00fain<\/span>, caitear go c\u00faramach leis an Valknut. N\u00edl aon fhoinse scr\u00edofa ann \u00f3 aimsir na Lochlannach a mh\u00edn\u00edonn an comhartha.

T\u00e1 blas \u00e1rsa ar an ainm Valknut, ach is ainm nua-aoiseach \u00e9 i nd\u00e1ir\u00edre. N\u00ed fheictear \u00e9 sna t\u00e9acsanna Sean-Lochlannacha a mhaireann anuas orainn.

T\u00e1 an ainm nua-aoiseach comhdh\u00e9anta de dh\u00e1 fhocal Sean-Lochlannach. Tagra\u00edonn an ch\u00e9ad fhocal do na fir a mara\u00edodh sa chath, na marbh sa chath.

Cuims\u00edonn an ainm seo an bhr\u00ed a mheastar a bheith ag an gcomhartha in aon fhocal amh\u00e1in.<\/p>

T\u00e1 s\u00e9 t\u00e1bhachtach bun\u00fas an ainm seo a thuiscint go maith. Is l\u00e9irmh\u00edni\u00fa \u00e9 an ainm f\u00e9in cheana f\u00e9in. Tugann s\u00e9 le fios go mbaineann an comhartha leis na marbh agus le Odin.<\/p>

T\u00e1 an idirdheal\u00fa seo t\u00e1bhachtach don l\u00e9irmh\u00edni\u00fa. T\u00e1 an fhoirm a dh\u00e9antar \u00f3 l\u00edne aonair n\u00edos gaire do na comhartha\u00ed gan teorainn, gan bhriseadh, a mheas an-chuid cult\u00fair a bheith cosanta ina bhfeidhm.

Ar chuid de na clocha sin, feictear an Valknut laistigh de sheicheamh \u00edomh\u00e1nna n\u00edos leithne. T\u00e1 na clocha sin i measc na bhfoins\u00ed is fear\u00fala don saol picti\u00farach Lochlannach.<\/p>

Is \u00e9 an leid is t\u00e1bhachta\u00ed maidir le l\u00e9irmh\u00edni\u00fa an Valknut a ghaireacht d’Odin. Ar na leaca greanta, tagann an comhartha chun cinn ar\u00eds agus ar\u00eds eile in eachtra\u00ed a bhaineann leis an dia sin. Bh\u00ed Odin, i measc r\u00f3lanna eile, ina dhia na marbh sa chogadh agus ina dhia an chatha sa reiligi\u00fan Lochlannach.<\/p>

De r\u00e9ir na tr\u00e1idisi\u00fain<\/span> Lochlannaigh, thug Odin chuige na fir a mara\u00edodh sa chath. Tugadh iad go V\u00e1lhalla, halla na marbh sa chath. Ann, dh\u00e9anaid\u00eds ullmh\u00fach\u00e1n don chath m\u00f3r deiridh. Bh\u00ed forl\u00e1mhas ag Odin d\u00e1 bhr\u00ed sin ar chinni\u00faint na laochra sa bh\u00e1s. Ba \u00e9 tiarna na marbh sa chogadh \u00e9.<\/p>

I bhfianaise seo, t\u00e1 s\u00e9 r\u00e9as\u00fanta a mheas go mbaineann an Valknut leis an r\u00f3l seo a bh\u00ed ag Odin. B’fh\u00e9idir gur comhartha \u00e9 do na fir a mara\u00edodh agus d\u00e1 gceangal leis an dia.

N\u00ed ina aonar at\u00e1 an Valknut. Bh\u00ed eolas ag an saol \u00edomh\u00e1nna Lochlannach agus Gearm\u00e1nach ar roinnt comhartha\u00ed a bh\u00ed bunaithe ar l\u00ednte fite fuaite agus ar shnaidhmeanna.

Feileann an Valknut don d\u00fail seo sa d\u00fashraith fite.<\/p>

Is comhartha gaolmhar \u00e9 an Triquetra, an snaidhm tri\u00fanachta at\u00e1 comhdh\u00e9anta de thr\u00ed stua fite le ch\u00e9ile.

Faightear comhartha\u00ed snaidhme go forleathan i bhfad taobh amuigh den tuaisceart.

Cuid\u00edonn an aicmi\u00fa i saol na gcomhartha\u00ed snaidhme leis an tuiscint, mar sin f\u00e9in. L\u00e9ir\u00edonn s\u00e9 nach feinim\u00e9an ioml\u00e1n aonarach \u00e9 an Valknut.

T\u00e1 an Valknut go forleathan aitheanta sa l\u00e1 inniu. T\u00e1 s\u00e9 ar cheann de na siombail\u00ed is coitianta a bhaineann le r\u00e9 na Lochlannach agus le cult\u00far Lochlannach. Mar shiombail a chaitear mar mhuince agus mar mh\u00f3it\u00edf<\/span>, feictear \u00e9 i m\u00f3r\u00e1n comhth\u00e9acsanna. T\u00e1 infheictheacht mh\u00f3r bainte amach aige mar gheall ar a fhoirm shoil\u00e9ir.<\/p>

I ngluaiseachta\u00ed p\u00e1g\u00e1nacha nua-aoiseacha a leanann creideamh Lochlannach, \u00fas\u00e1idtear an Valknut mar shiombail. Go minic b\u00edonn baint aige le Odin agus le geall\u00faint don domhan creidimh a f\u00e1gadh le hoidhreacht. San \u00fas\u00e1id seo, faigheann an tsiombail br\u00ed nua chomhaimseartha.<\/p>

Cos\u00fail le m\u00f3r\u00e1n siombail\u00ed Lochlannacha, n\u00edl an Valknut saor \u00f3 \u00e9illi\u00fa n\u00e1 \u00f3 \u00fas\u00e1id mh\u00edcheart. T\u00e1 c\u00e1sanna ann inar ghlac gr\u00fapa\u00ed seilbh ar shiombail\u00ed den chine\u00e1l seo nach mbaineann a gcuid c\u00faiseanna leis an mbr\u00ed stairi\u00fail ar chor ar bith. Ba cheart do dhuine ar bith a thaispe\u00e1nann an Valknut a bheith aireach ar an teannas seo agus an tsiombail a chur i l\u00e1thair laistigh d\u00e1 comhth\u00e9acs stairi\u00fail f\u00e9in.<\/p>

T\u00e1 fianaise bhunaidh ar an Valknut le f\u00e1il ar chlocha \u00edomh\u00e1 Gotland agus i bhfionnachtana r\u00e9 na Lochlannach a chaomhna\u00edtear i m\u00fasaeim na hEorpa Thuaidh.
