UGerd Courtship ngumsitho wakudala wenkcubeko yamaSaami, isizwe somthonyama eScandinavia. Lo msitho wawubanjelwe ukubhiyozela umtshato phakathi kwabantu ababini kwaye wawubanjwa ngexesha lentwasahlobo okanye ihlobo. Lo mngcelele waqala ngeqela lamadoda akhwele amahashe aphuma esiya kulanda umtshakazi. Umtshakazi ukhweliswe kwinqwelwana ehonjiswe ngeentyatyambo namasebe, amadoda avuma iingoma njengoko esiwa kwindawo ekuza kuqhutyelwa kuyo umtshato. Zathi zakufika apho, iindwendwe zaxhentsa zijikeleza imoto ngelixa esi sibini sinikana izipho namazwi othando. Ekupheleni komngcelele, iindwendwe zazihlanganisana ukuze zinike ukutya neziselo ngaphambi kokuba esi sibini sihambe kunye kubomi baso obutsha kunye. Lo msitho usasenziwa nanamhla oku ngabahlali baseSaami, kodwa sele wamkelwa ngamanye amasiko amaninzi njengendlela yokubhiyozela umtshato wabantu ababini.
Isishwankathelo
Ukuthandana kukaGerd sisithethe samandulo samaNorse esisukela kwi-Iron Age. Kukholelwa ukuba yadalwa ngoothixo ukubhiyozela uthando phakathi kwabantu ababini. Umtshato wokuthandana wawuquka isithethe somtshato esinemifuziselo eyahlukahlukeneyo, njengokuphana izipho, intsikelelo yomtshato woothixo, nesithembiso sokuthembeka phakathi kwesibini.
Ebudeni bokuthandana, umtshakazi nomyeni bavela phambi kweentsapho nezihlobo zabo ukuze bachaze ukuganana kwabo. Abazali bomyeni banikela izipho kumtshakazi njengomqondiso wentlonelo nokunyaniseka. Ezi zipho zinokuquka izacholo ezixabisekileyo, izixhobo okanye ukutya. Lo msitho ubukwaquka itheko apho zonke iindwendwe zabelana ngokutya neziselo ngelixa zicula iingoma zesiNorse zokubhiyozela ukutshata.
Zakuba zombini ezi ntsapho zivumelene ngemigaqo yomtshato, kwabakho itheko lonqulo ekwakucelwe kulo oothixo ukuze basikelele eso sibini size siqinisekise ulonwabo lwaso lukanaphakade. Lo msitho wawusonganyelwa ngumfundisi okanye uDruid owayevakalisa amazwi angcwele ngoxa esenza amadini kwizithixo zamaNorse ukuze acele abo basandul’ ukutshata ukuba babakhusele baze baphumelele. Ekupheleni kwalo msitho, umfundisi wazisa izinto ezingcwele ezinjengamakhubalo okanye amakhubalo anenjongo yokukhusela isibini kubo bonke ubomi baso kunye.
Ekugqibeleni, emva kokutshintshiselana ngezibhambathiso phakathi kwamaqela omabini, umngcelele uye wafikelela kuvuthondaba ngomxhentso wolonwabo apho wonke umntu waye wathabatha inxaxheba adanisa de kwasa kubhiyozelwa ukuqala kwekhaya elitsha elasekwa ngabantu ababini abathandanayo.
Obona balinganiswa
UGerd wayenguthixokazi omhle nonamandla osuka kwiintsomi zamaNorse. Wayeyintombi yesigebenga uYmir kwaye wayemiselwe ukuba abe ngumfazi kaFreyr, uthixo wenzala. Ngokwamabali, uFreyr wathandana noGerd xa embona okokuqala. Noko ke, wayengazimiselanga kuzinikela kuye ngokulula.
UFreyr ke wagqiba ekubeni enze ukuthandana ukuze azuze intliziyo kaGerd. Wathumela abathunywa kuyise ukuba bamcelele isandla sakhe emtshatweni, kodwa uYmir wala ngokuphandle. Wayezimisele ukuba intombi yakhe ingatshati nothixo wabahedeni yaye wayefuna ihlangabezane neemvavanyo ezintathu ngaphambi kokuba ivume ukutshata.
Uvavanyo lokuqala lwaluquka uFreyr ekufumaneni elona hashe libalaseleyo emhlabeni kwaye wamnika lona njengesipho somtshato. Ihashe lalifanele libaleke njengomoya lize lomelele njengeengxilimbela ngokwazo. Emva kophando oluninzi olungenaziqhamo, uFreyr ekugqibeleni wafumana ihashe eligqibeleleyo: Sleipnir, ihashe elinemilenze esibhozo elenziwe nguLoki, uthixo wenkohliso kunye nobubi. Enelisekile sesi sipho, uYmir wamvumela uFreyr ukuba aqhubele phambili kuvavanyo olulandelayo: ukwakha inqaba kaGerd njengezulu ngokwawo.
UFreyr wasebenza iinyanga engaphumli de wagqiba lo msebenzi we-herculean; ngaloo ndlela ukwakha inqaba ebizwa ngokuba yiGlitnir apho yena noGerd babeza kuhlala kunye emva komtshato. Ekugqibeleni kwafika iimvavanyo zokugqibela: uYmir ngoku wafuna ukuba uFreyr abonise ubugorha bakhe ngokoyisa iBeli enkulu ngezandla zakhe ngaphandle kokusebenzisa naziphi na izixhobo okanye umlingo; Ngaphezu koko, kwakufuneka akwenze oko ngaphandle koncedo okanye inkxaso yobuthixo okanye yomntu. Nangona iimeko zazingalunganga, uFrery wakwazi ukoyisa iBeli enkulu ngenxa yamandla akhe, ubukrelekrele kunye nobukrelekrele bakhe. Ekugqibeleni, emva kokuba oyise zonke iingxaki ezazibekwe nguYmir, uGerd wavuma ukutshata noFrey. Usuku lomtshato lwalubhiyozelwa ngabo bonke oothixo bamaNorse abanikela ngezipho ezixabisekileyo ukuze babhiyozele esi siganeko. Ukusukela ngoko, uFrey uthathwa njengothixo okhuselayo wothando lokwenyani.
oothixo abangenelelayo
Ukuthandana kukaGerd yintsomi yamandulo yamaNorse ebalisa ibali lothando phakathi kothixo uFreyr kunye nesigebenga uGerd. Eli bali lisusela kwimihla yokuqala yobuhedeni bamaNorse, xa oothixo nezidalwa zasentsomini zazisahlonelwa ngabantu bamandulo baseNorse. Ngokutsho kwentsomi, uFreyr wayengomnye wezithixo ezibaluleke kakhulu kwi-pantheon yaseNorse, kwaye umntakwabo uFreyja wayenguthixokazi owaziwa ngobuhle nobulumko bakhe. Xa uFreyr ebona uGerd okokuqala, wawa entloko phezu kwezithende emthanda.
UGerd wayeyingxilimbela entle ehlala eJötunheimr, ubukumkani beengxilimbela. Wayengenamdla kuFreyr ekuqaleni; nangona kunjalo, wazingisa kwiinzame zakhe zokuyizuza intliziyo yakhe. Ekugqibeleni wagqiba kwelokuba amnike izipho ezixabisekileyo ukuze azuze uthando lwakhe: amatye anqabileyo anqabileyo, isikrweqe esimenyezelayo, namahashe anamendu. Oku kwamchukumisa kakhulu uGerd kangangokuba ekugqibeleni wavuma ukutshata naye.
Umtshato wawubhiyozelwa ngobukhazikhazi obukhulu e-Asgard (ikhaya loothixo). Iindwendwe zaziquka amanani amaninzi abalulekileyo avela kwi-pantheon yaseNorse efana no-Odin (uyise wabo bonke oothixo), uThor (uThixo weNdudumo) kunye noHeimdall (umgcini weBifrost). Ezinye izidalwa zasentsomini ezinje ngeelves, goblins, neefairies nazo bezikhona ukuvuyisana nesi sibini esonwabileyo. Emva komsitho womtshato, umngcelele wabuyela kunye ebukumkanini baseJötunheimr ukuze bahlale kunye njengendoda nomfazi kude kube sekupheleni kweentsuku zabo.
Eli bali likhuthaze ubugcisa obuninzi ukusukela ngoko; yonke into ukusuka kwimizobo ukuya kwimifanekiso eqingqiweyo kunye neengoma ezidumileyo ngalo mbandela zidalwe kangangeenkulungwane ukuhlonipha obu budlelwane budumileyo phakathi kwamazwe amabini akude njengezulu nomhlaba. Kucacile ukuba le ntsomi isaqhubeka ingumthombo wenkuthazo kubantu abaninzi namhlanje; ngakumbi abo banomdla kwiintsomi zamaNorse okanye inkcubeko yobuhedeni yale mihla
Imixholo ephambili igutyungelwe
Ukuthandana kukaGerd sisithethe samandulo samaNorse esisusela kumaXesha Aphakathi. Lo msitho wenziwa phakathi kwabantu baseNordic ukubhiyozela umtshato kunye nomanyano lwabantu ababini. Ukuthandana kukaGerd kwakulisiko elide nelintsonkothileyo, elibandakanya amanqanaba aliqela nezinto ezifuziselayo.
Inqanaba lokuqala lokuthandana kukaGerd laqala ngokuba umyeni anikele umnikelo wakhe kumtshakazi, ngokuqhelekileyo ngezipho okanye ubucwebe. Oku kwabonisa ukuzibophelela kwakhe kuye kunye nomnqweno wakhe wokuqala usapho kunye. Emva koko, abazali bomyeni kwakufuneka bawuvume umtshato, nto leyo eyayithetha ukuba babemele baneliseke bubuntu balowo uza kuba ngumyeni kwaneenjongo zakhe ngomtshakazi. Ukuba abazali banelisekile, ngoko banokuqhubekela phambili kwisinyathelo esilandelayo: ukutshintshiselana ngokusemthethweni kwamasongo phakathi kwamaqela abandakanyekayo emtshatweni.
Emva kokutshintshiselana ngokusesikweni kwamakhonkco, amasiko ahlukeneyo omfuziselo ayenziwa ukutywina isivumelwano somtshato. Le mibhiyozo yayiquka izinto ezifana nokusela iwayini engcwele kunye okanye ukwabelana ngokutya okungcwele ukubonisa ukuzinikela kwabo bobabini kubudlelwane. Ukongeza, bekukho neengoma zesintu ebeziculwa ziindwendwe kulo lonke umsitho wokubhiyozela lo mzuzu ubalulekileyo ebomini babo. Ekugqibeleni, emva kokutshintshiselana ngokusesikweni kwemisesane nazo zonke izithethe zokomfuziselo ezinxulumene nako, umngcelele waqukunjelwa ngesidlo apho zonke iindwendwe zazinokonwaba kunye njengoko zibhiyozela esi sihlandlo sovuyo.
Ukuthandana kukaGerd yayisisiganeko esibaluleke kakhulu kwiinkcubeko zamandulo zamaNorse njengoko kwakumela ngaphezu kwesivumelwano somtshato; ikwamele ukudalwa kobudlelwane bosapho olutsha phakathi kweentsapho ezimbini ezahlukeneyo kwaye inokusebenza njengesiqalo sokuseka amaqhina abalulekileyo kwezopolitiko phakathi kwamaqela amabini ahlukene ngokwentlalo kubukumkani obufanayo bamaNorse aphakathi. Ke ngoko, esi siko sasibaluleke kakhulu kumxholo wenkcubeko yamaNorse yamandulo njengoko yanceda ukuqinisa ubudlelwane bezentlalo phakathi kwabantu abahlukeneyo kwaye ivunyelwe ngokudibeneyo ukudala ubudlelwane bezopolitiko obuhlala buhleli.
