Not Even A Cross Cern Could Protect You From A Blood Eagle.
It was a particularly unpleasant ritual of our Norse ancestors.
You dragged the king whose army you had just defeated on to a broad stone, slashed open his chest and
wrenched out his rib cage. While he was still alive, of course.
It was the highest honor you could pay Odin, the great Norse god who had granted you your victory. The living
sacrifice of an anointed Christian King.
Not even a Cross Cern - a sacred cross made from branches of the Rowan tree, believed to ward off the evil eye
- could avail you if your Norse captors decided your chance for immortality had come.
The story of the Norse men of the Isle of Man is graphically told in the Manx Museum. Here you’ll also learn
what makes the Isle of Man such a unique island.
Its independent traditions are woven into the stonework of the great natural fortress of Peel Castle which is on
St. Patrick’s Isle or Castle Rushen at Castletown, (once the Island’s capital).
They echo down the deserted galleries of the Laxey Mine where for centuries islanders laboured by candlelight
to hack precious iron ore from the living rock.
It’s there in the soil in the haunted burial grounds of the Viking marauders.
The spirit of Mann is very much alive today - that spirit of battling the
elements and self reliance. You’ll find it in modern sporting events like the
90 year old TT race around the 38 mile Mountain Circuit, the Classic Car
races, the TT motorcycle races, the Manx Grand Prix and the Manx
International Rally.
Many of the sporting world’s toughest competitors struggle for supremacy
along the five hundred miles of winding coast and mountain roads that ring
the island.
Get to grips with a turbulent past, and the exciting present, on the Isle of
Man. It’s closer than you think.
Call the UK on 00 44 345 686 868 for your free holiday guide.
But remember, if you pick a quarrel with a Viking, just make sure you win.
