Hey folks! I’m writing two books about pre-Christian Scandinavia—one on the general beliefs, values, and sacred places, and another focused on the role of women in society based on the goddesses in Norse mythology.
I already have a bunch of research questions I’m working from, but I’d love to hear what you’ve always wondered about this time period.
Got any questions about ancient rituals, myths, everyday spiritual life, or the sacred feminine? Drop them here! Your curiosity might help shape a new angle in the book.

Be very very careful what you take as truth. What you believe you know of north Western European culture, especially anything religious, is the work of the Vatican (boy I’m on a role this morning) primarily Snorri Sturlusson, Adam of Bremen, and Bede.
I think something about what it would be like to be gay, I know most would probably be guesses, but it would still be interesting
the other is like everyday objects you’d have in your house. Like how much clothes/decoration, how often would you buy new stuff? How many ‘foreign’ things would a normal person own
