Boasts in Symbel
Posted by: Makarios on Monday, March 08, 2010 - 04:00 PM
By Swain Wodening
Most Heathens know how to do symbel (Old Norse sumbel), or some form of it. What many do not know, is there is a proper format to make an oath during symbel. Just as symbel has rounds so too do the oaths have their parts as well. To see this, look at Beowulf’s oath to slay Grendel:
The first part is what is called a gielp (OE), a boast of one’s ancestry:
Wassail Horthgar! I am Hygelac’s
kinsman and thegn I have many great deeds,
done in youth.
Then comes the béot (OE) or the oath to do something. In Beowulf’s case, slay Grendel. To preserve space, I am not quoting it here (Beowulf was a wordy fellow), but suffice it to say he reiterates his oath to slay the beast several times, and that he was sent for this purpose.
