“VÆTTE”

 

Vætte – a supernatural being with magic and sacred powers. According to the Norse sources, instances of conflict between two types of sacred powers are mentioned in connection with Northeners settling on Iceland. Carefully carved ship sterns had to be removed in order not to collide with the powers of the ’vætter’ from the otherwise uninhabitated country.

Et overnaturligt væsen og en mindre guddom. I de norrøne kilder omtales det hyppigt, hvordan der kan opstå sammenstød mellem to slags helligkraft, når nordboer kom til Island for at bosætte sig. Da skulle de udskårne skibsstavne tages ned for ikke at støde sammen med kraften fra landvætterne inde i det i øvrigt ubeboede land.
