After that, Saturn goes rune by rune, giving the name and power of each. He then gives the first riddle which is an explication of the first rune "f". He asks, "Where can no man walk on feet" and answers "on the sea". At this point Solomon jumps in and answers "Any man may walk on the sea when it is frozen, where no man may walk is in Hel, where all are upside down" (Hel being a sort of topsy turvy land and the reason that conjured ghosts are upside down when they appear as the prophet Samuel conjured up by the witch of Endor) Solomon then presents the Palm Twigged Pater Noster, which is the runes in the order in which they occur in the Latin prayer. (Latin is apparently more holy than Saxon), and then presents each rune with a theological rather than a magical meaning. (the pater noster contains less different runes than the futhark, so it makes a somewhat shorter alphabet) Saturn then presents the rest of the riddles, which he was going to explain, and Solomon answers with a theological interpretation, some of which are amazingly far from the original answer to the riddle. At that point, the dialog ends with Solomon triumphant. (the original answers are not given in the dialog but can be found separately in a Norse question and answer of the names given to natural phenomena by men, elves, gods and giants, as a sort of addendum) The above lends some credence to the supposition that the Urlari, the rune users par excellence, were Christian missionaries to the Germanic tribes, rather than supposed elves or wizards. The later forms of the dialog in Norse and Anglo Saxon apparently dropped the Futhark part of the dialog because it didn't make sense in those languages. | |
