I found an amazing echo of my method of the seven lances
in a Teutonic myth, and so I make an exception and post
a message on Sunday, New Year's Eve.
Google for odin seven in the Web sector, klick on the page
_Teutonic Myth and Legend: Chapter IX, The Gods Reconciled_
(www.sacred-texts.com ...) and scroll down to the end. Quote:
When Mimer was slain, the fountain of wisdom was without
a watchman, and Ygdrasil, the World-tree, ceased to draw
sustenance therefrom so that it began to wither. Many
leaves faded, and its branches knew swift decay.
The seven sons of Mimer, who were guardians of the seven
months of change, fell into deep stupor in their golden hall,
which was heaped with great treasure. Clad in splendid
robes, they lay upon the floor wrapped in magic sleep.
Sindre-Dvalin was there in the midst; his brothers were
about him. Mortals who have penetrated Hela and reached
Mimer's realm have beheld them lying asleep beside their
treasure, but they feared to enter; for if anyone touched
the robes, or sought to be possessed of the gold, his hand
and his arm would wither.
The Seven Sleepers shall awake not, as mortals have been
told, until Ragnarok, "the Dusk of the Gods". When Heimdal
blows a thunder blast from Gjallarhorn on the day of the Last
Battle, the sons of Mimer shall start from sleep. They shall
then arm themselves and issue forth. On the wall have
mortals beheld suspended and bright, seven long swords
which none save the sons of Mimer can wield.
Mimer, also Mimir, was the god of wisdom and magic. The
golden hall, heaped with great treasure, is a burial chamber
in a mound, identical with Mimer's realm in Hela, Hela coming
from Magdalenian KEL --- cave, Underworld, also the womb of
the goddess (see the thread on the German Hell, also started
by Heidi Graw), while the seven sons of Mimer, lying beside
the treasure, in a dep stupor, wrappend in magic sleep, are
rulers buried in a mound. Robbers are warned: if they touch
the robes or the gold, their hands and arms will wither. The
sleep of the buried shall not be disturbed. They shall sleep on,
until the day of the final battle. The seven long swords which
only the sons of Mimer can wield may well reflect the seven
lances of the above method of measuring out a burial mound.
