Topic: Herminones


  
  Irmin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Irmin was the god of war of the Saxons.
He is considered the son of Mannus and the ancestor of the Herminones.
The name is probably derived from an epitheton "the exalted" of Ziu, the head of the Proto-Germanic pantheon, but with the rising importance of Wotan, Irmin was identified with that god.

 Franks - LoveToKnow Watches
Sometimes two or three tribes joined forces to wage a war; but, the struggle over, the bond was broken, and each tribe resumed its isolated life.
Waitz holds with some show of probability that the Franks represent the ancient Istaevones of Tacitus, the Alamanni and the Saxons representing the Herminones and the Ingaevones.
Of all these Frankish tribes one especially was to become prominent, the tribe of the Salians.

 Northvegr - Grimm's TM - Chap. 15
The order in which they stand seems immaterial, in Tacitus it merely follows their geographical position; the initial vowel common to them leads us to suppose an alliterative juxtaposition of the ancestral heroes in German songs.
The aspirate given by the Romans to Herminones, as to Hermunduri, is strictly no part of the German word, but is also very commonly retained by Latin writers of the Mid.
Aírmana: it is supported by the derivative Herminones, and even by the corruptions 'Hisicion, Armenon, Negno' in Nennius (see Suppl.).

 Irmin
It would be harder to show any such relation between Ing and Ingo, Isc and Isco; but I think I can suggest another principle which will decide this point: when races name themselves after a famous ancestor, this may be a deified man, a demigod, but never a purely divine being.
There are Ingaevones, Iscaevones, Herminones, Oescingas, Scilfingas, Ynglîngar (for Ingîngar), Völsûngar, Skiöldûngar, Niflûngar, as there were Heracleidae and Pelopidae, but no Wôdeningas or Thunoringas, though a Wôdening and a Kronides.
The Anglo-Saxons, with Wôden always appearing at their head, would surely have borne the name of Wôdeningas, had it been customary to take name from the god himself.

 Tacitus Passages
In their ancient songs, their only way of remembering or recording the past they celebrate an earth-born god Tuisco, and his son Mannus, as the origin of their race, as their founders.
To Mannus they assign three sons, from whose names, they say, the coast tribes are called Ingaevones; those of the interior, Herminones; all the rest, Istaevones.
Some, with the freedom of conjecture permitted by antiquity, assert that the god had several descendants, and the nation several appellations, as Marsi, Gambrivii, Suevi, Vandilij, and that these are nine old names.

 Germany. Tacitus. 1909-14. Voyages and Travels: Ancient and Modern. The Harvard Classics
In their old ballads (which amongst them are the only sort of registers and history) they celebrate Tuisto, a God sprung from the earth, and Mannus his son, as the fathers and founders of the nation.
To Mannus they assign three sons, after whose names so many people are called; the Ingævones, dwelling next the ocean; the Herminones, in the middle country; and all the rest, Instævones.
Some, borrowing a warrant from the darkness of antiquity, maintain that the God had more sons, that thence came more denominations of people, the Marsians, Gambrians, Suevians, and Vandalians, and that these are the names truly genuine and original.

While it was undoubtedly the intention of Tacitus in setting up a threefold division—Ingævones, Herminones, and Istævones—to embrace the entire people, as a matter of fact his classification includes only the West Teutons.
The Irminsleute (Herminones) preserved the worship of the old heaven god Zio; the Ingvæones worshipped the Vanir god Freyr; the Istvæones, Wodan and Tamfana.
The identification of the eponymous tribal hero with the great gods is in two or three instances more or less probable: Irmin-Tiu and Ingv-Freyr frequently occur in combination, whereas this is not the case with Istv and Wodan.

A god with the name Mannus was worshipped in the time of Tacitus (first century c.e.) (Germania, chapter 2) He is a progenitor of the Germanic people and had three sons; Ingvio, Irmio, and Istio.
These are the names of the three main brances of the West Germanic tribes: the Ingaevones, who inhabited the coastal areas of the North Sea; the Herminones, who lived near the middle and lower Elbe; and the Istaevones, who were found between the Rhine and the Weser.
Just as Mannaz is the progenitor of the three tribes, Heimdal is associated with the three classes.

 Iranian Mythology: Iraj- (CAIS) ©
The ancient Germans also had a similar legend, which they recounted "in old poems which serve these people as annals" (Tacitus, Germania 2.2).
They relate that the ancestor of the Germans, called Mannus, divided the Germanic world between his three sons who became the eponyms of the three main German nations: Ingaevones (north), Herminones (middle), and Istaevones (south).
The same notion of a world divided into three parts underlies the Iranian legend that, during Jamšêd's reign, thrice the earth became too crowded, and each time he was allowed to enlarge it by one-third (Vd.

Ei filium Mannum, originem gentis conditoremque, Manno tris filios adsignant, e quorum nominibus proximi Oceano Ingaevones, medii Herminones, ceteri Istaevones vocentur.
His son Mannus is supposed to be the fountain-head of their race and himself to have begotten three sons who gave their names to three groups of tribes — the Ingaevones, nearest the sea; the Herminones, in the interior; and the Istaevones, who comprise all the rest.
Some authorities, with the freedom of conjecture permitted by remote antiquity, assert that Tuisto had more numerous descendants and mention more tribal groups such as Marsi, Gambrivii, Suebi, and Vandilii — names which they affirm to be both genuine and ancient.]

In their ancient songs, [15] which are their only records or annals, they celebrate the god Tuisto, [16] sprung from the earth, and his son Mannus, as the fathers and founders of their race.
To Mannus they ascribe three sons, from whose names [17] the people bordering on the ocean are called Ingaevones; those inhabiting the central parts, Herminones; the rest, Istaevones.
Some, [18] however, assuming the licence of antiquity, affirm that there were more descendants of the god, from whom more appellations were derived; as those of the Marsi, [19] Gambrivii, [20] Suevi, [21] and Vandali; [22] and that these are the genuine and original names.

In the traditional songs which form their only record of the past the Germans celebrate an earth-born god called Tuisto.
His son Mannus is supposed to be the fountain-head of their race and himself to have begotten three sons who gave their names to three groups of tribes - the Ingaevones, nearest the sea; the Herminones, in the interior; and the Istaevones, who comprise all the rest.

 Germania (Ancient Germany) by Cornelius Tacitus
In their ancient songs, their only form of recorded history, the Germans celebrate the earth-born god, Tuisto.
They assign to him a son, Mannus, the author of their race, and to Mannus three sons, their founders, after whom the people nearest Ocean are named Ingaevones, those of the centre Herminones, the remainder Istaevones.
The remote past invites guesswork, and so some authorities record more sons of the god and more national names, such as Marsi, Gambrivii, Suebi and Vandilici; and the names are indeed genuine and ancient.

 Satan's Via della Rose
Thus Europe was founded primarily by occult Trojan (in turn Cimmerian/Iranian) and Phoenician blood (that later put forth the Alans).
This wave produced the Herminone and Ingaevone sectors of Germanics, the Herminones (root "Hermin/Irmin") worshiping "Zia," an obvious allusion to Zeus (who produced Hermes), while the Ingaevones (root Inga/Anga") worshiped the Vanir gods, a less-obvious allusion to the Thracian-Egyptian (or Thracian-Gypsy) mix that were the Danaans.
By Thracian-Egyptian mix I am referring to Harmonia/Zeus mixing with the Danaus peoples from Egypt, and this we see when Zeus came upon Danae (to mate with her) as a golden shower...to produce Perseus and the Danaans.

 Tempelhof - The Book
There, by publicly sacrificing a man, they begin the horrible solemnity of their barbarous worship." Tacitus continues, "The potent condition of the Semnones has increased their influence and authority, as they inhabit a hundred towns, and from the largeness of their community it follows, that they hold themselves for the head of the Suevians."
According to Tacitus, the Suevians were an alliance of four tribes – Herminones, Langobards, Hermondurians and Marcomanians, and the Semnones were a branch of the Hermondurians, who were also known as the "Elbgermanen" (Elbe River Germans).
Coming out of the east-southeast, the Huns overran, defeated or stampeded tribal groups on their push westward, causing a "domino effect" cascade of migration before them.
