I reckon I was a Varangian guard in a past life! Love Roman and Norse history and politics. Not religious but culturally Northern European with pagan leanings.

A little about me im: British with: English (which is Saxon mainly), Germanic ;-) Irish, Scandinavian ;-)) , Scots & Welsh ancestry/ethnicity. Ive been lucky enough to trace my ancestry back to the Dukes of Normandy & Jarls of Orkney. Although to be fair most people of N.W. European descent can count them as direct ancestors, but can u prove it...? . My cultural identity lies in the history and mythology of Scandinavia and Germay: Woden/Odin. I love/passion all things history particularly Norse and Roman. My 'speciality' is Roman but the Norse is catching up! Sköl!

    Katla (TV series)
    Katla (stylized as KATLA) is an Icelandic mystery-drama television series created by Baltasar Kormákur and Sigurjón Kjartansson. The show premiered on 17 June 2021 on Netflix. Synopsis A year after an eruption of the Katla volcano began, only a few people remain in the nearby town of Vík, persisting despite choking ash. An ash-caked woman who apparently disappeared twenty years earlier appears in the village, looking as she did back then. More ash-caked people who died in the past arrive in Vík, creating a paradox for those who knew them and reviving legends of "changelings". Meanwhile, a volcanologist from Reykjavík discovers the remains of a meteorite buried in the glacier, while having to deal emotionally with the reappearance of his dead son. Through their interactions with the "changelings", the inhabitants of Vík are forced to find their own ways of dealing with their unresolved...

    Ragnarok (TV series)
    Ragnarok is a Norwegian fantasy drama television series reimagining of Norse mythology from Netflix. It takes place in the present-day fictional Norwegian town of Edda in Hordaland, which is plagued by climate change and industrial pollution caused by factories owned by the local Jutul family. The Jutuls are actually four jötnar (supernatural beings, inexactly translated as "Giants" in the English language overdub and closed captions) posing as a family. They are challenged by Magne, a teenage boy who is surprised to learn that he is the reincarnation of Thor, the Norse god of thunder. He begins to fight against those who are destroying the town after his friend dies under mysterious circumstances. In the second season, he is joined by more people who embody other Norse gods. The series premiered in January 2020, with a second season released in May 2021. It is Netflix's third Norwegian-language TV series, following Home for...

        • A little over 2 years ago we visited Iceland close to the winter solstice. It was a fabulous and magical trip. Plans are now afoot to return for the summer solstice this year and see Iceland quite literally in a whole new light

              • When visiting Peel Castle on the Isle of Man back last summer i'm pretty sure that we had a Raven, (not a crow) land on the castle wall just in front of us, shortly before this my partner and myself had been waxing lyrical about our ancestral connections to the castle. We felt blessed :-) Unfortunately we weren't fast enough with our cameras and started to doubt the evidence of our own eyes - the 'Raven' flew low from its perch, below the walls crenellations never to be seen again....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel_Castle
