Icelanders will soon be able to publicly worship at a shrine to Thor, Odin and Frigg with construction starting this month on the island’s first major temple to the Norse gods since the Viking age. Worship of the gods in Scandinavia gave way to Christianity around 1,000 years ago but a modern version of Norse paganism has been gaining popularity in Iceland.

The high point or maybe low point of This is Spinal Tap

Derek Smalls: Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we gonna do “Stonehenge” tomorrow?

David St. Hubbins: *NO*, we’re not gonna f****** do “Stonehenge”!

“Then you respect arrogant, Christian haters.”

As opposed to humble pagan Christian haters?

these people are all STONED.....they could care less about facts of any sort whatsoever. They want...”FREEDOM”

[Bigg Red]

Horrible.

Who would have guessed there would be such a push for such regression? I fear this has become a worldwide phenomenon.

The powers of the Evil One are ascendant. Prayers up.

Feast day 3 February? Nice!

Saint Ansgar, pray for us.

Wow! I think I need to increase my recitation of the St. Michael prayer. Twice a day is not enough, I guess.

Looking into the future, I see a modern Ragnarok between the Aesir and the god of the Prophet.

Since they partially merged with the Liberal Lutherans, my sister calls them the LutherPiss Church.

[The KG9 Kid]

Outside the Lutheran Hallgrímskirkja -- the largest church in Iceland -- there stands a monument to the Viking explorer Leif Erikson that was a gift from the USA back in 1930.

Saw it with my own eyes.

Some might regard it as a monument to a pagan, but Leif Erikson did eventually convert to Christianity.

[gleeaikin]

I hear that there are Greeks reviving worship of the Olympian gods.

[colorado tanker]

Wow, the fat lady was singing there.

modern version of Norse paganism

One with all the blood sacrifices cut out I assume.

“One with all the blood sacrifices cut out I assume.”
