And the reader of this copy of Norse Myths must be from Jötunheimr, homeland of the Giants, because homeboy is tall! I don’t know if you can tell from my creepy crappy photo, but he has to duck to stand in the middle part of the train. Filed under: Books Tagged: Norse Myths

Nativity One of my professors wished me a happy winter solstice and then added, “Or whatever it is that you celebrate.” Personally, I don’t mind someone wishing me a Merry Christmas. I’m not a Christian, but I’m also not a worshipper of the Norse Pantheon, yet I still label the days of the week by t ...

I've been reading up a bit on some of the 'Viking' tax systems, especially under the Christian transfer, which resulted in some raids occurring on other villages/places. Basically you were told your tax bill by some official ruling author ... ities w ...

I have to say that so far I'm really enjoying learning with these as our focus. The Norse Myths have always been stories I enjoyed. I love the capricious nature of Loki and the stubborness and honourable mix of the other deities. We picked up a box on Tuesday of Viking replica artefacts from our loc ...
