Once again, the sun rises high in the heavens as the sky-wolf chases her across the atmosphere in the eternal quest to fill his belly with photon fodder. In other words, the summer heat is here and the weavers have dictated that I should retreat back into the cool, dark […]
Heroes of Norse Proliferation: H.R. Ellis Davidson
She wrote the hard-hitters (if not necessarily best-sellers) such as Gods and Myths of Northern Europe, Pagan Scandinavia, Scandinavian Mythology, and Roles of the Northern Goddess.
Heroes of Norse Proliferation: Jackson Crawford
Lo there! Spring is finally back in the dark gray Norumbegan air and that can only mean one thing: that I don’t know what that one thing is, and so rather than trying to find out, I am instead updating this pathetic, little excuse of a blog. But it’s not […]
Heroes of Norse Proliferation: Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough
It’s not often that I add new Heroes of Norse Proliferation to this shining (but sadly virtual) hall, which is probably because I’m a rather uninspired individual, but every once in a while motivation strikes and I bother to add a newcomer to the ranks of the mighty. This time […]
Heroes of Norse Proliferation: Anker Eli Petersen
The last posting to this crappy little website discussed the importance of 1930s era travel artwork, which in a round-about way reminded me of the unsung hero of great Norse postage art, Anker Eli Petersen. This guy hails from the Faroes, which along with Iceland is pretty much the most […]
Heroes of Norse Proliferation: Nancy Marie Brown
Books having to do with Vikings in some form or another seem to be experiencing a bit of a surge in popularity lately (at least compared to how the subject matter normally fares). I suspect this is mainly due to various publishers attempting to shamelessly piggy-back onto the pseudo-popularity of […]
Heroes of Norse Proliferation: Eben Norton Horsford
Leif Erikson Day 2014 is nigh upon us (Thursday, October 9) and so that makes it perfect time to raise horns to the memory of the great Bostonian proliferator of Norse awareness, Eben Norton Horsford. For those of you unlucky enough to have attended a high school that didn’t cover […]
Heroes of Norse Proliferation: Quorthon
It was only a matter of time until Quorthon’s name was added to this not-so-golden hall of Heroes of Norse Proliferation, and that time has finally come. I unfairly prolonged that time with my uncanny ability to slack off at updating this obscure blog, but despite my best efforts to […]
Heroes of Norse Proliferation: Poul Anderson
Poul Anderson is dead, but while he was alive he did awesome things, namely, the authoring of some very good Viking novels. It is somewhat unfortunate that he focused most of his writing efforts on science fiction (although I have heard that his science fiction is good, I have not […]
Heroes of Norse Proliferation: Jesse L. Byock
Jesse L. Byock takes the spotlight for the inaugural entry into this wild and crazy new category that I’m calling Heroes of Norse Proliferation. Basically, it just seemed like a good idea to me to give a shout out to the folks out there who have done a lot of […]
