Jehova Witnesses, ferrets, and truck drivers (though I don't think ferrets usually keep such bad company).

There's nothing cooler than a big Scandanavian in chain mail screaming, "Hold the skjalborg! Keep your shields tight!" |
guess i could strap on my chainmail and yell it out for you if you want... id love to be reborn somewhere around 700-800 ad and just be a viking, maby under comand of the great harald hårfagre but prefrably comanding a bit myself.
dont remember in witch conection this was but the vikings once carried theyr long boats across italy chasing theyr enemies...immagine the sight, how do you fight against something like that? |
I love Dark Age Nordic history, especially Norwegian. I've even read all the Icelandic sagas that have been translated into English, even The Heimskringla. I especially like Egil's Saga and all the other sagas featuring Eric Bloodaxe, a crazy son of a bitch from an especially crazy line.
The Vikings moving their long ships across land has always fascinated me, as has the Ragnarsson's conquest of England. |
a man to my liking, you seam to know what your talking about, maby even more then me? maby not, i guess i just take my herritage for granted....dont get me wrong im proud as hell, i even have mjolnir (thors hammer) tattooed on me. so whos your favorite hedon god?
|
I wear a Mjolnir pendant everywhere I go (forged by the very dwarves). I like Odin hanging from the World Tree, a sacrifice to himself, for the secret of the runes. I like Baldur's story a whole lot, and my favorite Nordic hero is Sigard from the Volsung Saga.

me to, the most important symbol we have here in norway.
iv always liked thor, ever since i was a kid iv just thought it was so damn cool to controll thunder, been thinking about going back to school just to do a degree in this, i allready know futhark by heart...at least one of them so i might as well go all the way am i right? |
Damn straight. If I were a Scandanavian, I'd be all over Norse history and mythology. I read both Eddas, the prose and the rhyming, but I'm sure they were much cooler in a Nordic tongue.
I heard that Varg Vickernes (hope I spelled his name right) and some other church-burning black metal guys were starting a Viking resergance in Norway. Is that big? I always thought burning the stave churches was stupid, though. Those things are just beautiful. |
