Get Caught Up on 'Vikings'

  In preparation for the second season of History's 'Vikings' February 28 we can watch full episodes of season one at History's website. Also a good way to get your Ragnar, Floki,Rollo, Lagertha and Siggy fix.


Nature's Smartest Birds - Ravens by PBS


    Was just looking around on Youtube at nothing in particular and stumbled across this PBS documentary about ravens. It's not the greatest because..well, there is no real mention of Odin or Huginn and Muninn, but other than that it is a good piece talking about the raven's intelligence.

Shieldmaiden Saturday #9

Double shieldmaiden entry this Saturday. I have done my very first screencaps of Siggy and Lagertha and did some decroations to them. Granted Siggy, to my knowledge, is not a shieldmaiden, at least not in the sense of Lagertha, but she does fight her on battles against some formidable men so that, to me, makes Siggy a shieldmaiden.

  The decorated screencaps are from Vikings Season 2 Tease.

  Yes, yet again, it has been a while.  But here is Floki looking almost ethereal in Floki's on way.
