Drinking horns are known from Classical Antiquity, especially the Balkans, and remained in use for ceremonial purposes throughout the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period in some parts of Europe, notably in Germanic Europe, and in the Caucasus.

The Germanic peoples of the Migration period imitated glass drinking horns from Roman models. One fine 5th century Merovingian example found at Bingerbrück, Rhineland-Palatinate made from olive green glass is kept at the British Museum. Drinking horns are attested from Viking Age Scandinavia. In the Prose Edda, Thor drank from a horn that unbeknown to him contained all the seas, and in the process he scared Útgarða-Loki and his kin by managing to drink a conspicuous part of its content. They also feature in Beowulf, and fittings for drinking horns were also found at the Sutton Hoo burial site. Carved horns are mentioned in Guðrúnarkviða II, a poem composed about 1000 AD and preserved in the Poetic Edda:
I grew up with my Danish grandparents in Canada. We always took pride in serving our guests well, whether it was a full meal, or just a cheese sandwich and coffee, you always treated guests well!
☕️🥄🥪
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!
I have a few and I have given many as gifts
@@erikhoff5010 Thats awsome mate! Id like to start to make some horns to play on allso.
@@bjornstacy9590 Me too. Thats how I know that they usually is a welcomed gift.
No offense taken here 😄
I love having the honor of bringing my husband and his friends drinks or food, makes me smile to serve 😊✨
I still take pride in being a good hostess to my guests, as I take pride in being a good guest to my honored host(ess). Young people, it seems, should learn a bit about hosting and being hosted, you are right there. Our old ways are not the bad ways 😊
Amazing. No matter what subject you cover, you always find a way to include dozens of sources when other "experts" in the subject are lucky to cover just 1. Thank you as always! I'm buying your Thor Utgard Horn
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
*Cough Cough* Wisdom of Odin
@@Soaring_Raven212 oh god don't start with this super cringe guy, he's doing more harm than good with his focus in the eddas, feels like he takes the eddas seriously
@@asgrim1513 he does. He has a complete christian outlook on them like the Bible
@@Soaring_Raven212 i saw few of his videos and i think he was raised christian if i remember correctly, which would make sense atleast, since lot of "pagans" like to take everything from christianity and act like its pagan, kinda like all the wiccans lol
idk how some1 can watch the garbage he's putting out.
3:52 I've been to the National Museum of Denmark just last week! The Vikings part was best museum I've been to, topped only by the historical and famous Vienna Natural History Museum.
The Trundholm sun chariot, Egtved girl and that Aurochs are also awesome things to see in the museum!
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.
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.
Thank you for pointing out how honorable it is to be a good host - that is true still today for any female and male. 🥛🥛
I wish my Danish MiL was a good host. She invites you over for dinner and expects you to cook and clean.
Something she obviously didn’t bring with her when she immigrated to Canada.
@@dirtyoldbroad7583 yeah, Cook together and clean together, why not. 😊
It all depends if you are a stranger and are invited as a guest, than your host will act as a host.
But if you have a closee relationship it should be normal to share the work so the fun can be shared too. 🌻
You have a wonderful way of weaving sources as you lay bear such lucid overviews on these topics about our ancestors! I've been wanting to buy the "Stafangr Hrafn Drinking Horn" from your website, but it's "SOLD OUT"! Will you be restocking this one? I'm waiting and hoping...
Got a beautiful horn at the Birka heritage site in Sweden. Truly a beautiful piece of human culture
Thanks for still making your videos! Always look forward to the next one
So cool !Great info! Love your shop💜
I've had one for a few months now, can't wait to finally take it to the local history fest we have!
Your online shop is legitimately fun to browse. I’m glad your content is growing!
Tusen takk for de virkelig interessante vikingvideoene og din innsikt i historien.
Think I might have to get myself a Thors ocean horn, great video keep them coming they are important.
2 things...
1) what is it your saying at the beginning and end of every video??
2) you really need to re-up your store. So many things i wanted to buy are all sold out!
Love your material and overall realistic attitude towards each topic .
Your real...keep it real!
Skal!
Treated myself to a Gotland Arm Ring☺Could buy the whole shop!😅
I have one and cleaned it according to the instruction and it caused a bad leak. Now I keep my wooden cooking utensils in it. I will be checking yours out
Good video bro lots of research done
am not even a pagan, i just like hearing you talking
Thirsty for knowledge!
Thanks again 🤜🤛
Today we make drinking horns of pixels. Future archeologist will have fun time digging our Blender and Photoshop files.
I bought some mead in the store today. We made it at home when I was a kid. Should pick that up again. Don't have a horn to drink it out of however lol
Afaik hairs and nails only seem to grow or get longer after death because the skin is retracting/shrinking.
**Amon amarth raise your horns plays in the distance**
I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen an original Jaeger' mention with the blood-mead topic, so I will mention it here. Not my kinda mixer tho' hah
I got a large one from Grimfrost. Lost the iron stand, and belt holster for it during a move to a new home. But I still drink from it, and it sits on my night stand.
I ordered a drinking horn looking forward to receiving it another great video
I love my drinking horn when drinking delicious mead.
I went to your store to find a t-shirt but you didn't have it.
I wanted one that said,
"YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD VIKING DOWN"
I thought of it after watching you Vikings not from Scandanavia video. 🙂
EXCELLENT discussion! Takk Thor !! 🍺
Great insights! Thank you
My cat just walked over my unlocked screen and it started to play this video. This is very interesting. Thanks Freyja for walking over my phone
I've experienced going to visit someone - who was expecting us - where the "hostess" made & ate a sandwich without offering us anything!
And also people who seem to think it's acceptable to just go and help themselves to what their host have in their fridge!

I have a water-buffalo horn mug, and a cow horn I bought cleaned and transformed into a drinking horn myself.
Lol I made Mead grenades one time.
It fermented 90 days. I was sure it was done do I bottled it. A week later they turned into glass handgernad's.
Horns as antenna? I guess because the Vikings were big on radio frequencies? Lol
..."she understood the health of the humour."
...
Thank you for the post in any case, "by my father's mother."
\Skhoal'd/
...
Thank you for saying something about the "sign of the hammer",
Btw.
..."Valhalla guards".
Love the content but I feel I have to mention hair and nails don’t continue to grow after death; they “appear” to because the skin as it decays recedes while hair (being dead cells already) does not.
I don't have the capability of buying things online. but do you got glass horns.
What is better Buffalo horn or ox horn for drinking horns
Adore your content and your nice to look at ❤thank you. I must repost
More for special occasions ?
Everyone I've ordered always smells horns mugs
I love it! Your being a Viking! What did anyone expect? I'm not complaining!
THIS IS COOL! Now give me a mailing address because I don't put card numbers on line.
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].
Skål :) Do you ship the horns out of Norway too. The Danish customs are a bit greedy when goods are coming from the US
hollow horns can also be made in to devices for smoking when a small hole is cut on the pointy end
The drinking horn was not an everyday drinking cup ?
Good video 👊🏻⚔️
Christians banned drinking horns?!, Now I want a horn more then ever
Excellent thanks , only downside to being a Vegan ? 💜🍷🔥

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)
Thirty-five minutes of everything drinking horn. I'm thirsty...where is my maiden?
Love to the pagan community across Europe and worldwide🇬🇧
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. I was very deep into an extremely heavy Amanita Muscaria and psilocybe experience at the time. The rest of which was spent puking. I did not speak with nature that day...
Kan man købe dine horn fra eu?
Not true about hair and nails continuing to grow after death. It only appears to grow due to the drying up and shrinking of the skin
I saw someone talking smack about the Thor horn a while back because of the blue reson. I figured you had a good reason for that. Now that it's explained I feel like I should have easily guessed that.
We need to start a book club. I'd love to read The maiden with the mead but it's $75 so I don't foresee it being in my library any time soon.
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.
im gonna buy one so fucking fast
I want to thank you for not sugar coating the Christian's I'm just tired of them looking good and made everyone else looking bad . No one is perfect. The auroch was big enough to feed 300 people. They were overkilled due to their size in the 1500's or was it the 1800's ? I think. May I suggest a video about what did the Vikings actually ate. Blood contains plasma and protein.
THIS is how I determined that the Norse Myths & Legends are just Stories from Before the Ice Age ! What other Natural Process could drop the Water Table of the Ocean other than Glaciation ?
Graham Hancock mentions symbolism in the Norse stories that numerically relates to the procession of the equinoxes, and hence to some knowledge of "ice age" events. Not sure if I'm sold but I like some of his work.
Dusting off my ol horn. ;)
Hmmm- I've had one for YEARS!
I hope I get buried with my drinking horns.
I heard or read a story that the toasting drinks by hitting them together was from a Viking king because he heard that someone was trying to poison him with his drink so he hit his drink so it would splash in to the other lbs drinks so if he was poisoned they would be to is that true to anything you have read ?
I'm a true Bier-a-holic... when 'we' toast to each others health, we all drink... if by lack of interest, you don't drink, you shall see the fire in my eyes!
The Ragnarok Event of Scandinavian Folk Lore is detailed as the Nephilim War in the books of Enoch & Jubilees , and was fought on the Island Continent of the Antarctic. Which was fought on the 100 mile x 100 mile Vigard Battle Plain somewhere at the base of Mount Vincent Massive ( Tallest Peak & Tomb of the Fallen Watchers )
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)
Excelsior! Very good video. My horn is raised to you now, Brother! Heil!
Meating? Soo we can recalcuate evrey breath taking in and out, and with peace and prospererfact in lines we can make peace but it is for a fact that we note and we back up birthright comp .

Skål!
Tsjoch!
Why „Viking Culture“? It‘s germanic Culture.
Men will say no to drinks from eachother but not from women so maybe thats why lol
🗿👍🏿
I lift my horn to you skal
I wonder of this is why in modern times and especially before the prohibition their were laws against women being on bars and serving drinks. Women in that profession were seen as immoral.
