People often look at heathenry like a religious flavor. Once you realize it's really not, and so much OLDER then most organized religions i think you'll find what you are looking for. There are many gods and goddess, not to mention the various land spirits and creatures. It's not a matter of...

Ah suppose I could have realized english isn't your main language. Good ol Amon Amarth bridging the gap between time and place. Speaking of, I handed my copy of "With Odin On Our Side" to my father and I dare say i've got me a convert. Hah!

Translation? I have it in english... unless that's not the language you're looking for?

Yeah that probably sounded hostile. I apologize. >.>;; need to dull the knife in my voice. But yeah that's essentially it. In that book I mentioned, the entire intro is basically dedicated to why he will NOT call the Norse people vikings. Is a seriously informative read, but be warned, it's...

Brisantni, i'm speaking specifically about vikings as vikings. Yeah they were all those things before the raiding, but DURING it really boils down to piracy. Unless you are looking at conquest armies like the ones that took a pretty sizable chunk of England. I like this site for it's...

So I was reading game of thrones (surprisingly good writing) and couldn't help but notice that their old gods are worshiped at a type of tree that grows pale white with faces on it. Got me to thinking about the Donar oak, and perhaps that supposed temple at Upsala was maybe a forest or...

Oh the history, if only because the mythology isn't as well documented. There is also the sagas which is part of their literary history, and helps to flesh out their world views even farther. It's an amazing culture and i'm glad i'm a part of it. Of interesting note i've found is people say...

I think getting ganked while in combat works for you... At least i'd love to think so. Not sure how many people continue to hold weapons in their hands upon death. Could very well be that I'm wrong though. Fun fact i picked up, apparently the provinces in Norway are named after the original...

Seems a tad odd given she gets half the battle slain... ah well. At some point someone will have info somewhere. Unless it's all gone like so much dust in the wind.

So then what happens to her? She just burns? I think it says all Aesir ride to war... unless I'm just confusing it with Amon Amarth lyrics. It's been a while since i've read it. Been reading other such books like "norsemen of the viking age", which is a pretty nifty read.

So here's a question on the only forum I can think to ask. Is there any information about what happens to Lady Freyja during ragnarok? Riding into battle on her Boar leading the charge?

Beware, it goes all indie weird on ya about half way in.

Random question, and I apologize if it's already been asked but search didn't bring it up, Nanna died from heart break at Baldr's pire yes? So... did she end up in Hel along side him?

Outlander was good fun. Not sure how accurate it was to period stuffs, but the idea of a space man landing in with vikings aside, it's a rather good flic.

It can be a wide variety of things. Either working out, jogging, driving to work... though that music could vary up with either Ensiferum or Tyr.
