This amazing t-shirt is a perfect gift for any Viking fan or friend! It features a unique design of a Fenrir Wolf, a mythical creature from Norse mythology, and Odin, the god of war. The Fenrir Wolf is a symbol of protection, security, and stability, and the Odin mask and runic symbol circle of wolves, Geri and Hugin, represent the life inside the symbolism that stands for protection and security. The accompanying wolves are a reminder of Odin's worthiness and the dead animals that accompany him. The Vegvisir, or runic compass, is a creative present idea that will make any Viking fan or friend feel special. This t-shirt is a great way to show your appreciation for Norse mythology and the Viking Wolf of Odin. Get this unique t-shirt today and show your love for the Varangian Guard, Berserkers, and Dragons! (via "Fenrir Wolf of Odin: Viking Varangian Guard " Sleeveless Top for Sale by ZbigArt)

Schon jetzt an den Winter denken…❄️❄️❄️ Es ist schon lange her, dass ich mit meiner alten, wunderbaren Pelznähmaschine arbeiten konnte. Jetzt kam das gute Stück wieder zum Einsatz und ich konnte diese Prunkmütze mit dem imposanten Fellrand fertigstellen. #thoridsgewandschneiderei #rus #mittelalterkleidung #vikinger #vikingstyle #vikingclothing #medievalart #wikingerkleidung #wikinger #vikinghat #vikingcostume #larpcostume #larp #slavic #slavicpagan #pagan #vikings #vikingos #waräger #scandinavianstyle #varangian #varangianguard #varangians #krieger #ruotsi #kiewerrus #slawen #byzantine #byzance #byzantium (hier: Petersberg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgYqxFfN1Eo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trade & Warfare in the Kievan Rus

Scandinavians from the island of Gotland began to spread throughout the Baltic region along the Russian rivers in the 700s. While the Vikings of Norway and Demark from the 8th to 11th centuries are widely recognized as fearsome raiders and colonists, Gotlander traders were as much warriors as businessmen and advanced into new areas via fortified outposts.

#inktober day 30: A Varangian Guard. 'Varangian' was the name used by the Greeks, Russians and others of the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East to describe the vikings who, in the 10th century, migrated east and south from Sweden and Finland to dominate areas such as modern day Belarus, the Ukraine and western Russia (collectively known then as Kievan Rus). They are best known for the Varangian Guard, mercenaries who were retained as the elite household bodyguard of the Byzantine Emperor, acting in the same capacity as Anglo-Saxon and Danish 'housecarls' in Western Europe. After The Battle of Hastings many exiled and dispossessed english warriors journeyed to the region in search of riches and new masters to serve, and many ended up in the Varangian Guard. Inks on A5 watercolour paper, no pencils. Available for sale for just £25 (free postage in the UK, folk elsewhere will need to add a couple of quid for shipping) #ink #inks #inking #inktober2018 #viking #rusviking #kievanrus #varangian #varangianguard #byzantium #warrior #history #militaryhistory #middleages #medieval #illustration #sketch #mattsoffe https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkokcdHugx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1inpi94wz1n7g

Morning all! Got a rim onto my Varangian Shield yesterday. It doesn't quite go all the way around, so I'll need to slap another strip of leather on. #cosplay #cosplays #cosplayer #cosplayers #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplaying #byzantine #viking #varangianguard
