Want a cool graphic to help you navigate this year like a 'Viking'? Want one that’s historically informed to the best of this author‘s abilities? Well, here you go. — Download one for your pocket AND learn more about how this calendar was made at fjorns-hall.com — It's actually pretty late, since the Old Norse-Icelandic year begins with Harpa, which is in April, but it's better late than never! We're currently nearing the end of Miðsumar, with only 3 days until Heyannir. If you need to hold an assembly for some reason, Leið begins next Thursday. — #fjornshall #norse #viking #heathen #pagan #medieval #heathenry #paganism #heathenholidays #yule #jol

Spent some time this weekend catching up on the #manga Vinland Saga! Planning to watch the newly released first episodes for the #anime later tonight! I’m also working on a #blog post about all of this, too 😉 #vinlandsaga #vikings #viking #norse #drinkinghorn #thor #japan #japanese

‪What’s this?! A new #blog post? By the gods...it’s been so long. Well, good things come with patience, so I’m sure you’ll all enjoy this post about #elves! You may also learn something about #Freyr and Old Norse holidays, like Winter Nights.‬ ‪Read it here: https://fjorns-hall.com/2019/06/27/alfablot/‬ #norsemythology #norsepagan #paganism #heathenry #asatru #viking #vikings #medieval #Iceland #nordic

Finally got my own copy of this book. I’m hoping to use it in the not-too-distant future for more in-depth posts about the infamous Snorri Sturluson. #bookstagram #books #book #history #academia #medieval #medievalist #norse #viking #vikings #nordic #snorristurluson #norsemythology #asatru #paganism #heathenry

I wrote a brief (and unexpected) #blogpost about why 'red gold' comes up so often in Old Norse texts. Several explanations have been posed (as scholars tend to do), but I only share one that I like here. Take a moment to read it, if you'd like to know more.

‪Today at #kzoo2019 I finally met Jesse Byock, a scholar whom I’ve looked up to since studying medieval Iceland. To my astonishment, he already knew about (and likes) my blog! He even offered to have us work together on his website for Old Norse, vikingnorse.com‬ ↟ #oldnorse #medievalist #medieval #norse #vikings #vikings #nordic #language #linguistics #iceland #icelandic
