“The warrior wave will wash upon Helmer’s hearth bringing bloodshed Body-feast for bold-winged brethren Ever watchful Thought and Memory.”
Rowdy Geirsson, The Scandinavian Aggressors

“Sweden maintains several categories of beer strength ranging from the weak/inferior kind that only contains about 2% alcohol and that can be bought at regular grocery stores and convenience stores to the highly cherished and infinitely superior stor stark, which is really just normal strength beer that wouldn’t be considered anything special anywhere else. Its status is revered in Sweden because the government has highly regulated the product in an effort to stem widespread drunkenness and alcoholism since the 1800s.”
Rowdy Geirsson, The Scandinavian Aggressors

“On Herne the Hunter: “Like Ceridwen, therefore, he is essentially a literary figure whom modernity has back-projected into the pagan past.”
Ronald Hutton, Pagan Britain

“Archaeologists recover the material evidence, date it, and identify the different portions of it. Heritage managers and curators protect sites and objects, display them to the public and provide information on them. Historians act, likewise, as national experts on locating, understanding and translating written texts, and explaining what they seem to say. All should be prepared to stand back and let the public dream its own dreams, make its own uses, and tell its own tales.”
Ronald Hutton, Pagan Britain

“What if an enterprising (or perhaps just ill-natured) fisherman found part of the serpent's body a few thousand miles away from his head and decided to cut it open and take a peek inside? It would take hours or days for Jormungand to respond to such and insult.”
Gregory Amato, Burden to Bear

“She was beautiful but unattainable, which only increased my attraction to her.”
Gregory Amato, Burden to Bear

“Or less charitably, you could call the Rus a bunch of miserable Swedes who went too far east and got even more miserable than they were before.”
Gregory Amato, Burden to Bear
