The Journey to the Hereafter
All the dead shall make a good journey to the Hereafter.
Be it by being burnt or buried unburned.
Think of the Vikings, connect the passage to the other side with a ship. This is to translate the dead into the world beyond.
The rich men were given their complete weaponry to the grave. Be it out of memory, gratitude, possibly also a possible use of weapons in the afterlife or simply to show off. It was also not unusual for their servants to follow with them to death.
A dead woman's belongings showed her roles and duties. Jewellery, needle bushes, cloth, kitchen utensils (preserve!!!!) etc. were buried with.
But so much just for that. I come to this ritual because I associate "Orm" with it.
Orm is for me a feeling of being embalmed. At the threshold into the light. Clear, bright, balsamic and pure. Fir-seed dark and leather branches. Golden resin
An ointment of cool, wild mint wrapped in tart birch leaves and larded with ethereal pine needles.
Green algae wraps spread with honey, sprinkled with hay and tightened with leather straps. Every part of the body is lovingly protected
and preserved. The body is gently laid on the raft on a bed of amber hay and musk. Warm and protected, like a hug and a last greeting. And then it's off to the other side of the world, bordered with driftwood. Every glance is directed at the travelling body until it is no longer visible.
Orm is wonderful as bright light in a dark mystical forest.
