pretty straight forward actually.

Depending on how seroius you want to celebrate “midvinterblot” (its around christmas, the shortest day of the year.) you either sacrifice a pig or a man. If you want to worship Frej and Freja, I think there were som ceremonies which included a lot of sex… Most important make sure you die in battle or else it can be hard to come to Valhalla! Or you can just celebrate Valborg as we swedish do, have a BIG fire last of april to welcome the spring :)

The Vikings were more into trading than they were into pillaging. Their trade routes went as far afield as the Middle East. With their longboats they were also able to trade in places well inland such as Paris and Central Germany.

I know this originally came out years ago, but it fits today with that Vikings show on the History channel.

You must raid the hohos, Jason!

who saw today’s Garfield where Jon said let’s get Viking helmets and lipsynch to opera records????!!!!!

Pop culture references. Just how I like it.

Vikings didn’t have horns on their helmets.
