Old Viking Game

Posted by The Thor in Events, Videos
Friday, June 22. 2007

This is an old Viking game that has been preserved in Russia. The game has traditionally been played with spears or large logs ( liable to kill the players due to shear weight and momentum ). This version is played by colorful sticks by 4 girls, Have a look, you might be able to teach your children this game, taking them away from the computer ( with exception of their daily fix of BloggingReykjavik of course )

Stoned Music

These musicians were a bit more liberal in their interpretation of the music; trancelike is how I would describe it. This and mushrooms might have been contributing factors to the creation of Berzerkers, those infamous Viking warriors. Oh well what people didn't do for the honor of Odin and Thor and all the other gods.

This video shows amazing skills by one of the Viking fighters. Whatever you do, do not try this at home.

However starting out with non-lethal weapons such as celery and only using the back garden could be a good start!

Teaching the young to fight is a must in a Viking society. We might not plunder and pillage like in the days of old but international mergers need strong bones too and it is worth yielding a sword at such an occasion.
