Katten

Katten tilknyttes talrige myter.

Før kristendommens indførelse anså nordboerne katten som et helligt dyr, og, ifølge kilder fra den tidlige middelalder, var katten allerede i oldtiden knyttet til den nordiske mytologi, idet
kærlighedsgudinden Freja brugte katte til at trække hendes vogn.

Efter kristendommens indførelse blev det, i det meste af Europa, skik at kaste en sort kat ind over dørtærskelen, inden brudgommen bar bruden over dørtærsklen.

Man mente nemlig, at katten ville trække alt ondt og alle ulykker over på sig, idet man forestillede sig, at katten var som en slags magnet, der sugede alt det onde til sig – og vel at
mærke beholdt det i sig.

The cat is associated with a lot of myths.

Before Christianity, Scandinavians considered the cat as a saintly animal.

According to sources from the early Middle Ages the cat was associated in Nordic mythology with the Freja, the Goddess of Love, who used cats to pull her wagon.

After the introduction of Christianity it became common practice in most of Europe to throw a black cat over the doorstep before the bridegroom carried his bride into the house.

It was believed by doing this the cat would absorb trouble and bad luck like a magnet and would of course keep it inside itself.
