Voluspo: Stanzas 3, 4 and 5

From Henry Adams Bellows stanzas 3 and 4 of the Voluspa from The Poetic Edda


3. Of old was the age of  when Ymir lived;
Sea nor cool waves  nor sand there were;
Earth had not been,   nor heaven above,
But a yawning gap,  and grass nowhere.

4. The Bur's sons lifted  the level land,
Mithgarth the mighty  there they made;
The sun from the south  warmed the stones of the earth,
And green was the ground  with growing leeks.

5. The sun, the sister  of the moon, from the south
her right hand cast  over heaven's rim;
No knowledge she had  of where her home should be,
The moon knew not  what might was his,
The stars knew not  where their stations were.

Vikings Season 2 Sneak Peek Video

 There also was another link posted on Twitter by History Vikings this evening a sneak peek to Season 2  of Vikings. My two only thoughts while watching the video were... HELLS BELLS! and FLOKI!!!!! Oh and Rollo looks f*ing nuts.

  All that can be provided now is a link to Vikings page on History Channel's website just have to sit through a commercial first. 

Replacing Bjorn

  News came about 40-45 minutes ago, via Twitter, from History Vikings that Nathan O'Toole will no longer be Bjorn and is being replaced by Alexander Ludwig, who I just found out was in The Hunger Games, big friggin' whoop. Yes, I know, congratulations to Alexander. All of this was done in order to do a time jump on Bjorn, you know age him. Plus Lagertha will have remarried. I am disappointed that it was felt that they needed to do this. http://screencrush.com/vikings-season-2-spoilers-time-jump/

Floki Friday #2

Floki as a Cover Boy with his brand of Flokiliner. Really enhances his blue eyes.

Vikings DVD Season 1

Back in June I had pre-ordered the Vikings series Season 1 DVD from Amazon and I just got an email saying that it will be delivered just before Halloween. This is because that the release date for the series DVD is on October 15, 2013. However, you can still go to Amazon's site and pre-order Vikings and get an early Halloween treat for yourself.

Shieldmaiden Saturday #2

Here is Lagertha after the time that the two men came into her home with the intent of harming (being polite) her on their mind and then she gave them "That's what you think" kick-ass of their pathetic lives.

Floki Friday #1

  I have been meaning to do this almost from the very beginning of Valkyrie's  Vikings but I have always forgotten. So with about two and a half left in Friday where I live and having remembered to do it for the upteenth time today, I give to you our favorite shamaesque type of boat builder, Floki.

Shieldmaiden Saturday #1

This is going to be about Lagertha  Lothbrock  or at least mainly it will mainly be about Lagertha . I know of some artwork that is about other shieldmaidens and will post those from time to time, but this will be about Lagertha first and foremost.

  Lagertha getting her shieldmaiden vibe going.

Rollo Monday #3

I do love Rollo. Yes he is a vicious warrior and enjoys the the destruction of people and property but at the same time he has been as loyal as he can be to his family. However his brother Ragnar takes Rollo and his allegiance for granted just always assuming that both are going to be there. So it is because of Ragnar taking Rollo for granted and essentially shafting him that I love Rollo.
