“BJARKE”

Bjarke – a legendary Danish giant. His name is associated with the Danish word for bear (bjørn), and he is pictured as a warrior of extraordinary strength, he is prone to ecstasy, and has unusual transformational skills. Bjarke’s kinship with the bear goes beyond the meaning of his name. The animal is Bjarke’s ’fylgje’ (a Norse spirit animal), and it literally fights battles alongside Bjarke. Its large paws kill many of Bjarke’s enemies.

Bjarke er en dansk sagnkæmpe. Hans navn er forbundet med ordet “bjørn”, og han skildres som en kriger med ekstatisk styrke og forvandlingsevne. Bjarke kædes tydeligt sammen med bjørnen, idet bjørnen som Bjarkes fylgje deltager i kampe og tynder godt ud i fjenderne med sine vældige labber.
