  • Hörgr

    A hörgr (Old Norse, plural hörgar) or hearg (Old English) was a type altar or cult site, possibly consisting of a heap of stones, used in Norse paganism, as opposed to a roofed hall used as a temple (hof).

    The Old Norse term is attested in both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, in Icelandic sagas, skaldic poetry, its Old English cognate in Beowulf. The word is also reflected in various place names (in English placenames as harrow), often in connection with Germanic deities.

    Old Norse hǫrgr "altar, sanctuary", Old English hearg "holy grove; temple, idol".Old High German harug continue a Proto-Germanic *harugaz, possibly cognate with Insular Celtic carrac "cliff".

    Old Norse tradition

    Literary

    The term hörgr is used three times in poems collected in the Poetic Edda. In a stanza early in the poem Völuspá, the völva says that early in the mythological timeline, the gods met together at the location of Iðavöllr and constructed a hörgr and a hof (Henry Adams Bellows and Ursula Dronke here gloss hörgr as "temples"):

    Road To Nowhere

    by: Harrow

    I was a fool to listen to your promises tonight
    The world is crazy but you don't get me for your plans no more
    When you find a girl like this and your monkey's very pissed
    You will take her to the alley, fill her with some jelly
    The moral of it all, no matter who you call,
    Better go to nowhere
    Higher, things to know, but that's just what I like
    Higher, I don't get it, but now it's too late
    Walking for days into the empty spaces of my mind
    I found the way you were trying to get back to society
    When you find a girl like this and your monkey's very pissed
    You will take her to the alley, fill her with some jelly
    The moral of it all, no matter who you call,
    Better go to nowhere
    Higher, things to know, but that's just what I like
    Higher, I don't get it, but now it's too late
    When you find a girl like this and your monkey's very pissed
    You will take her to the alley, fill her with some jelly
    The moral of it all, no matter who you call,
    Better go to nowhere
    Higher, things to know, but that's just what I like
