Viewers of the Histgory series, Vikings already know what they looked like and how they celebrated their religion with human sacrifices and nights of open sexual congress.
Ah, those were the good times for some of my ancestors.
Don’t look so sad I know it’s over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let’s just be glad we had some time to spend together
There’s no need to watch the bridges that were burning
Lay your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times
If you haven’t, maybe you would enjoy a novel by Neal Gaiman called “ American Gods.” Also made into a TV show carried by Amazon Prime.
I’m not so sure the old gods are gone. Gaiman certainly did not think so.
