Sumbl
At VikingsCon V, the reenactment groups Þæt Wicgild & Njörðr's Wanderers will host a Sumbl for all Berserker VIP pass holders.
A Sumbl is a formal ritual, composed of toasting, hails, oath-taking, and other forms of verbal expression. The purpose of the Sumbl is to honor the gods, ancestors, land spirits, and distinguished guests. The Sumbl is a solemn occasion, and words spoken have great power to them. This rite not only connects us with the gods and goddesses, but with our ancestors and our community. The Sumbl proceeds as a series of drinking rounds, where a cupbearer with a drinking horn proceeds around the tables, filling the cups of those participating. The cupbearer first salutes the Lord and Lady and distinguished guests, then the feast goers. When the cupbearer stands before you, you speak your oath, hail, or other toast, then drink. The cupbearer steps to the next guest, repeating the process until they return to the Lord and Lady.
For VikingsCon, the Sumbl will take place during our traditional evening feast on Saturday, and will consist of the following steps:
- An introduction and first toast by the Lord and Lady and distinguished guests
- First Round - The cupbearer salutes and welcomes each participant, who returns the salute
- Second Round - Feasting and music begins. Each Participant makes oaths, boasts, speaks poetry, etc. as the cup bearer continues around.
- The Lord and Lady closes the Sumbl; feasting continues.
