Reposted from @berloga_workshop Have you seen the last news from Iceland? Archaeologists have unearthed what may be the oldest Viking settlement in Iceland. It dates back decades before Vikings are supposed to have settled the island. The ancient longhouse is thought to be a summer settlement built in the 800s, decades before seafaring refugees are supposed to have settled the island, and was hidden beneath a younger longhouse brimming with treasures, said archaeologist Bjarni Einarsson, who led the excavations.

Frigg es una de las diosas mayores en la mitología nórdica y germánica, esposa de Odín, reina de los Æsir y diosa del cielo. Es la diosa de la fertilidad, el amor, el manejo del hogar, el matrimonio, la maternidad, las artes domésticas, la previsión y la sabiduría. Se le relaciona con la diosa griega Afrodita. En las Eddas se la menciona como una de las diosas principales, junto a Freyja. Sus funciones primordiales en los relatos de la mitología nórdica la mencionan como esposa y madre. Tiene el poder de la profecía aunque nunca relata lo que sabe, y es la única que junto a Odín tiene permitido sentarse en el trono Hliðskjálf y observar sobre los nueve mundos... . . . #culturavikinga #vikingculture #nordicculture #odin #thor #loki #viking #vikings #nordic #norway #mljönir #mljonir #valhalla #aesir #nordicgods #fenrir #hela #wolf .
