    Every man should have a drinking horn.
    Its one of the things people dont know they want until they have one. So its a perfect gift. Skål!! ✊️

      I made my own pair many years ago, and have another pair of raw horns waiting for their time. Fairly easy to make, a wood rasp and a few sheets of sandpaper, well used. Raw horns can be bought at most slaughter houses, or Tandy Leather has them already rough sanded. All you have to do is finish them and coat the inside with pitch or resin. Skal!

    As you say, it is pretty much universal that the lady takes care of the household, the kids and the food.
    For some reason that's derogotory in modern perception. But that's literally the biggest responsibilities in the community.
    My mother and grandmothers still take great pride in receiving the guests well. Making food that people enjoy eating, creating an enjoyable athmosphere so all can thrive and enjoy their night.
    Men are really just womens right hand and shield. They protect the family, they do all the tasks that the women ask of them to do and they are examples to the children through bravery and honor.
    That women would lower themselves to attempt to become men is astonishing. And in my view can only come from a household in which men abused their strength to control their family, rather than use it to protect them.

      It's amazing how the story changes when you source things. The weird thing is the "experts" think they're sourcing just fine, because they're repeating what they heard another expert say. They literally think peer reviewed opinion essays are a primary source, and it's causing history to be skewed like a big game of telephone

    In Scotland horn, beakers have a very long history A disc of horn is cut out and pushed into the base this was done by softening the horn by boiling in oil then the horned disc was pushed in to the softened Horn, which, as it shrinks as the Horn cools. So making the beaker watertight. Then the cup is decorated by burning patterns and pictures into the horn. Spoons are another favourite things made from horn. They are made by boiling the horn in oil, then pushing the horn into a mould. left the cool.

    What was taught to me as a child, about the "sign of the hammer" is you start at the top, and move your hand down, and then to one side at the bottom, then across the bottom to the other side...I don't know if it was the same for the Norse, but that's how I was taught as a Germanic pagan (my ancestors come primarily from the Luxembourg area, and go by the names Lux, and Ecker, and my Norse side is Afseth and Olson...my Lux and Ecker side traces back a very very long way, but my Afseth and Olson side has been lost to time, because of many factors, but primarily because of how family names and history were kept in Norse culture...i.e. naming sons after the father, such as Ragnarson)

    I wonder if it also was a female domain to "create" the mead? Are there sources talking about that matter?
    For me it would make sense in a way that these women offer their own product, which they have cared for and therefore put their "energies" and "magic" into it until the moment it is served.

    As far as I know, not hurgr, but horgr. The ö or ǫ, whichever way it's chosen to be written, I read and heard is reconstructed as [ɔ~ɒ], although I'm not sure what ~ is.
    Either way I've noticed you stick to Norwegian pronunciation of these terms mostly as you pronounce o as [u].

    My best friend gave me a horn. I washed it by hand, then in the dishwasher. As I drank my mead, a chunk of black, almost like petrified, flesh and fur, made its way into my mouth.

    regarding the "honor to serve" mentality:
    this is something that's culturally relevant even today; if you ever watched some of Reactistan's vlogs in Balochistan (province of Pakistan), you'll see the (Muslim) patriarchs of the house going out of their way to host and serve their guests themselves, there's no calling their wives/daughters/etc to do the work for them, no, it's THEIR honor to serve their guests, they will do the serving, the cooking, etc there's no "women in the kitchen" mentality, there's no "this is servant's work" mentality (now obviously if you're rich and have servants they're presumably being paid well to do the work so if nothing else it's no different from getting served at a restaurant or hotel by paid staff); the whole concept of "servant's work" is a product of modern western class culture, and I'm glad that, however slow the progress is, is something we're slowly undoing
    (I say this as a man who's also all too happy to cook for and serve my guests who come to my house, never mind the "honor" of it, it's an absolute pleasure for me to do so.... also a way to show off my cooking xDDD and I'm glad so many of my fellow male friends feel the same without even thinking of it being a cultural revolution, it's just normal for our more egalitarian minded generation)
