I’m fascinated by Norse culture, norms, and apparel (especially apparel, which makes sense, since I have a BFA in fashion that I don’t use at all). I have Icelandic galdrastaffir that date to about the late 1700s/early 1800s that people sometimes mistake as being associated with vikings and white supremacy; they’re actually symbols for a form of low magic that was largely suppressed by the Lutherans. (The viking age ended about 700 years before the first recorded instances of these galdrastaffir; they are absolutely not viking.)
