Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Svenska: En typpa eller goppa liggande vid en modern tröskel. Typpan är ett slags spådomsinstrument från Sverige, vilket förr användes vid jul eller nyår. På invigningen av folktro-utställningen Skräck & skrock 25 november 2012 på Falbygdens museum i Falköping demonstrerade etnolog Inger Widja i samband med sitt invigningstal hur en typpa eller goppa ska användas. Typpan ska föreställa en pickande höna med två ben, huvudet nerböjt och stjärten i vädret. Man lägger sig raklång på golvet med fötterna mot dörren. Typpan placeras på golvet ovanför huvudet. Man drar så upp benen i vädret och tar tag i typpans stjärt med fötterna. Sedan slungar man iväg den mot dörren. Om typpan landar med fötterna vända mot dörren betyder det att någon under året ska lämna huset med fötterna före, d.v.s. bäras ut som lik, men det kan även bara innebära att någon kommer att flytta därifrån under året. Tydligen så landar den aldrig stående på fötterna. Nuförtiden finns typpan eller goppan oftast bara kvar som en traditionell juldekoration.
English: A typpa or goppa is an old fortune-telling device from Sweden and it is here seen lying near a modern theshold. The Swedish ethnologist Inger Widja demonstrated how a typpa is used at the inauguration of the folklore exhibition Skräck & skrock (i.e. "Fear & superstition") at 25 november 2012 at Falbygdens museum in Falköping, Västergötalnd, Sweden. The typpa is supposed to represent a pecking hen with two legs, head down, and tail in the air. The fortune-teller lies flat on the floor with his feet against the door. The typpa is placed on the floor above his head. He then draws up the legs in the air and grabs the tail of the typpa with his feet. Then he throws it towards the door. If the typpa is landing with its feet facing the door, it means that someone during the coming year is to leave the house feet first, i.e. carried out dead in a coffin, but it could also just mean that someone is going to move out from the house during the year. Apparently the typpa never lands standing on its feet. Nowadays the typpa is mostly just a typ of traditional Christmas decoration in some parts of Sweden. |
