I am just really upset that I am only NOW learning that my ancestors worshipped a goddess who had a chariot pulled by cats. Why didn’t I fall into this Norse rabbit hole so much sooner. Thanks for the great content!

I am of Norwegian ancestry (on my Paternal side). I find it all fascinating as VIKINGS brought the anarchy of the Nordic temperment into contact with the Saxons and Anglos, who absorbed them in and over time, civilized them. My family derives from a small fishing village near the Swedish border, and so doubtless there are Vikings in my heritage.
The idea of a nob,e savage is something as Westerners I think we look for. Look how we have done the same with the American Indian? If you look at them, they are not too far from the same attitudes and lifestyle as Vikings. Just didn’t create metallurgy or wheeled transport.

One of our Scandinavian family names is Madison (Madsen). This name is Danish. I understand it to mean “son of Matthew.” My first name is Chris (Christian). When did the Danish and other Scandinavian countries take up “Christian” names?

In reply to Drake. Good point, Drake. Yes, I think Vikings are so attractive to modern people living in the West because Vikings had the type of freedom, which is impossible in a society based on human rights.

Part of me that finds Norse culture fascinating also finds various works of post apocalyptic fiction similarly intriguing. The popular idea of the vikings and what they were like (while historically inaccurate) resonates with the more romanticized aspects of living in a state of nature, or in a ruined society. Sure there’s danger at every corner, you could be attacked by rival tribes, wild animals, random dudes who want your stuff, or just someone who knows someone you attacked once. But you also have a type of freedom that you just cant have in a civilized place. Want something? hop on the next longship out of town and you can take it (provided you kill the poor sod who happens to own it) Want to have power? Get someone with power to duel you and win said duel. The image of a land where everyone can carve out their own destiny, and where the limits of what you can be are only set by your skill and ambition, is certainly a tempting one.

In reply to Jon. Hello Jon. I do not think this particular case has anything to do with racism.

The misportrayal of Vikings is a classic form of anti-white racism so common in the neo-Marxist media.
