***Read this post if you're looking for an online source to help you learn more about Norse/Viking history and mythology.***
What is Fjorn’s Hall? An affordable and accessible place for anyone to learn Norse history, literature, and lore from a reliable source.
Who runs it? Me, of course! Fjorn the Skald. I have a Master's degree in History, and I'm an inclusive person (as well as an animistic pagan, of sorts).
Who learns there? Everyone is welcome in the Hall, but racism, prejudice, and other toxic ideologies are not tolerated.
What does it offer?
Raids (aka informal courses), including readable lessons, lecture videos, quizzes, and study materials.
Resources, including lore tomes (aka reference pages for Norse gods and goddesses), digital maps, and libraries.
A Podcast with weekly episodes covering material from our Raids (along with special bonus episodes).
Access to a friendly and helpful community of fellow students (as well as a place where Fjorn can answer your questions directly).
How much does it cost? A lot is actually free, but everything else can be accessed with either a $5 or $10/month subscription.
Free = blue link; $5 sub = orange; $10 sub = green

“My paintings are distinguished by attention to detail and meticulous decorating a conditional Russian style. Other works are written in a different, more symbolic way… I tried to convey a sense of wonder, the unique experience of touching the mystery.”
