Suttung searched for his parents and threatened the dwarven brothers (Fjalar and Galar), who offered him the magical mead. Suttung took it and hid it in the center of a mountain, with his daughter, Gunnlod, standing guard.
Odin eventually decided to obtain the mead. He worked for Baugi, Suttung's brother, a farmer, for an entire summer, then asked for a small sip of the mead. Baugi drilled int ...

| | | | | mead: Encyclopedia II - Grendel - Scholarship The nature of Grendel's identity is something of a conundrum due in large part to his descent from the biblical Cain, the first murderer. For some scholars, this justifies a monstrous appearance. For others, it simply positions Grendel as a marginal figure which bears the "mark of Cain."
In a similar fashion, some scholars have connected the image of Grendel with that of a troll. Within the poem, he is described by many different terms including orc, ent, ettin, and scather. The term eoten or ettin in particular (which K ...

| | | | | mead: Encyclopedia II - Dionysian Mysteries - A Brief History of the early Dionysos Cult The ecstatic cult of Dionysos was originally thought to have been a late arrival in Greece from Thrace or Asia Minor, due to the popularity of the cult there and the non integration of the Dionysos into the original Olympian Pantheon. But following the identification of the deity's name on Minoan inscriptions this theory has now been abandoned and the cult is accepted as effectively indigenous and predating Greek Civilisation. The absence of an early Olympian Dionysos is today explained in terms of patterns of social exclusion and the margin ...

| | | | | | mead: Encyclopedia II - Heathenry - What Heathens do Many of the ritual forms of blót - making an offering - and sumble (or symbel)- a ritual of toasting - are discussed under Asatru. Indeed these forms generally serve to separate Germanic/Nordic religion from other pagan and neo-pagan practices. Heathenry is defined, however, as much by worldview and discourse as by specific rituals. The following list is given by Blain (2006, based on 2002a) for this article, from her ethnographic work with today's Heathens, of understandings or discourses of Heathenry that shape what Heathens do.

| | | | | mead: Encyclopedia II - Wine - Classification of wine
Wine - By vinification methods.
Wines may be classified by vinification methods. These include classifications such as sparkling, still, fortified, rosé, and blush. The colour of wine is not determined by the juice of the grape, which is almost always clear, but rather by the presence or absence of the grape skin during fermentation. Grapes with colored juice are known as teinturiers. Red wine is made from red (or black) grapes, but its red colour is bestowed by the skin being left in contact with the juice duri ...

Germanic neopaganism - Ásatrú.
Ásatrú is an Old Norse compound derived from Ása, the genitive of Áss, which refers to the Aesir, (one of the two families of gods in Norse mythology, the other being the Vanir), and Trú, literally "troth" or "faith". Thus, Ásatrú is the "Æsir's faith." The term is the Old Norse/Icelandic translation of Asetro, a neologism coined in the context of 19th century romantic nationalism, used by Edvard Grieg in his 1870 opera Olaf Trygvason. Th ...

| | | | | mead: Encyclopedia II - Brewing - Brewing beer All beers are brewed using a process based on a simple formula. Key to the process is malted grain, traditionally barley, but often also wheat and, less commonly rye. (When malting rye, due care must be taken to prevent ergot poisoning (ergotism), as rye is particularly prone to developing this toxic fungus during the malting process.)
Malt is made by allowing a grain to germinate, after which it is then dried in a kiln and sometimes roasted. The germination process creates a number of enzymes, notably α-amylase and β-amylase, which ...

The two Hyrai may have functioned as two entrances to the netherworld, which would have enabled Orion to pass between Boeotia and Chios in a chthonic journey. In later Classical times, the "tomb" of Orion that was shown to visitors in Boeotia may have been the cave-entran ...
