【诺斯人眼中的世界】3. 对人的认知
诺斯人对灵魂的认知非常复杂,他们把一个人分成四部分:
1,第一部分是最外层的,他们认为hamr(躯壳)只是一个壳,壳里面的内容才是what defines the being, 壳是可以变的,一般,有特殊能力的、被诅咒的、普通人在特殊情况下,壳就可以变。比如warrior-poet Egil Skalla-Grímsson的祖父Kveldulf的名字就是Evening-Wolf的意思。还有,Loki变成三文鱼。但我们无从得知当时的人是怎样看待这种变形的。他们可能有posthumanism的哲学思维。
2,壳里面的hugr, 很难翻译成现代的词,hugr是personality, temperament, character, mind的总称,总之是physical body之外的东西。在凡人的生命的尽头,hugr可能会继续前行,毕竟hugr才是who someone really was.
3,诺斯人认为每个人体内有hamingja, 是personfication of a person's luck. 诺斯人的宿命感无处不在,这种情况下,运气就尤为重要。后来维京人去美洲,据传第一个踏上美洲 (Vinland) 的人是Leif Eiríksson, 他又被称为hinn heppni, 就是The Lucky的意思。
hamingja的复数形式:hamingjur, 可以离开身体,到体外游荡,而且是隐形的,除了有特殊能力的人能看到它们。在一些saga中提到,有些人在打仗中撤退,因为他们觉得对手有太多的hamingjur.
hamingja也有自主意识 (independent will), 在很少见的情况下也能离开身体。英语中说的"someone's luck has 'run out' ", 用的就是Norse proverb, 只不过。。。诺斯人的luck是literally跑出来的。。。
4,第四部分,其实是一个别的生命:a separate being that somehow dwelled inside every human, inseparable from them but also distinct. 你身体里住着一个别的“灵魂”,陪伴你一生。这种“灵魂”叫fylgja [follower], 是一种spirit, 女性,一个男性的fylgja也是女性。Fylgja是守护者,也是每个人内在的和祖先的联系。Fylgja保护着、指引着每一个人,在生命的尽头,fylgja继续前行,在家族中代代相传。她们只在梦里出现,以warnings或advice的形式出现。这种spirit是所有诺斯人认知中的spritis之中最tenacious (tending to keep a firm hold of something; clinging or adhering closely) 的
不过在一些texts中,把fylgja和dísir看成同一种。
这样的四层,是诺斯人特有的认知。从这个复杂程度也能看出,他们远非荒蛮。
“When Continental Christians opened their doors in the morning, they did not see the work of elves, dwarves, and nature-spirits; their day was not ordained by the Norns; the dew on the grass was not sweat fallen from supernatural horses; a rainbow did not lead to Asgard and the sky-halls of the gods. Even battles, though bad enough, were not the playground of terrible war-women, screaming their rage and malice in the din. The Vikings, in short, were different.“
