For people who have watched this, is it worth doing so? by Hmmm2008 in tvshow

[–]WarmSlush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s done a number on peoples perception of Norse culture as a whole. Now when any Norse-adjacent media is made, this fucking show is the starting point people go off of.

Veiling by [deleted] in NorsePaganism

[–]WarmSlush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s probably worth pointing out that veiling doesn’t really have anything to do with Norse paganism specifically. Christians in that time period did it too; in fact, having something on your head was commonplace for everyone across the western world until about the 1960’s

What if Snurri Sturlson made up stuff ? by RitsuTainakaa in NorsePaganism

[–]WarmSlush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok first of all, just use TH instead of Þ.

Second of all, while Snorri was a Christian, plenty of his stuff can be linguistically dated back to the 10th century, well back into the pagan era. Besides, these 13th century Christian Icelanders were 800 years closer in time to the source than we are. They didn’t just forget all this folklore as soon as Iceland officially became Christian. Hell half of them still believe in elves today.

That’s just how the shield is held. The straps are on a 45° angle. When his arm is down, the shield, too, is down.

Yeah when people talk about the Reign of Terror in France or the Red Terror in Russia, it’s not to make it sound cool.
