jaylemurph Posted October 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 7, 2019 So in a thread that was closed (thanks phringies!), we were discussing puberty/maturation (call it what it is — pederasty) rites amongst Greeks as a survival of older cultural practices, perhaps as an inheritance of older norms. Piney specifically mentioned the Wolf cult of the PIE cultures and the Berserkers of Nordic cultures as possible parallels. More recently, I was surprised to find out the names of Hengist and Horsa — the traditional leaders of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes who “invaded” Britain in the fifth century CE — translate literally as “Horse-Rider” and “Stallion.” Oddly suggestive words in this context, but PIE kingship rites were known to include ritual copulation with horses. I wanted to start a thread where we could theorize a possible history of these cultural practices and their development. I realize this might be a slightly taboo subject, but I think there is material here for serious historical investigation (I can provide some links for published evidence and peer-reviewed theory), and figured this forum might be used for something other than lube for onanistic Atlantidiots. —Jaylemurph 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piney Posted October 7, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The Horse Twins probably have PIE origins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_twins I wondered about twins being suckled by a wolf having PIE origins because one of the Turkic-Iranian clans of the Gokturks had a similar legend about a Eastern Iranian prince being suckled by a she wolf than adopted by one of the Turkic forest tribes. @Orphalesion We have a thread!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orphalesion Posted October 7, 2019 #18 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) So much reading material As I said in the other thread, everybody knows that the Ancient Greeks, and the Spartans most of all, had an unfortunate penchant for pederasty, but I always thought that it was a Greece-specific development arising from their obsession with youth and the male form, not of PIE origins. I never suspected that the Spartan Warrior Class might have preserved a way of life that originated from a PIE wolf cult. 12 hours ago, jaylemurph said: More recently, I was surprised to find out the names of Hengist and Horsa — the traditional leaders of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes who “invaded” Britain in the fifth century CE — translate literally as “Horse-Rider” and “Stallion.” Oddly suggestive words The Devine Twins are a very interesting topic, and as Piney noted, they seem to be of PIE origin, since they have heaps of cognates. The Dioscury in Ancient Greece, for example, with each of them taking the other's place in the Underworld for half a year. And if we are on the topic of horse-names again, well, as I wrote in the Merseburg Charms Baldr is called "Phol" (Foal) and one of the theories it seems is that he was half of a pair of divine twins (like actual theories, not the slash-fanfiction of some self-proclaimed witch :-P ) Edited October 7, 2019 by Orphalesion 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to bond the horse to the warrior then the warrior would have sex with the horse. I haven't heard anywhere though that it was a rite of passage into adulthood.

It was actually a Celtic kingship ceremony where the appointed leader had to "mate" with a white horse but I think it was more figurative than literal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
