An Irminsul (Old Saxon, probably “great/mighty pillar” or “arising pillar”) was a sacral pillar-like object attested as playing an important role in the Germanic paganism of the Saxon people. The oldest chronicle describing an Irminsul refers to it as a tree trunk erected in the open air.

A Germanic god Irmin, inferred from the name Irminsul and the tribal name Irminones, is sometimes presumed to have been the national god or demi-god of the Saxons.[2] It has been suggested that Irmin was more probably an aspect or epithet of some other deity – most likely Wodan (Odin). Irmin might also have been an epithet of the god Ziu (Tyr) in early Germanic times, only later transferred to Odin

Veleda was a seidr volva who lived in the first century AD.

She was mentioned by Tacitus and according to his works, she predicted that the Batavi (Germanic tribe located in which is now the Netherlands) would be victorious in their uprising against the Romans.

She was highly regarded among several Germanic tribes including the Bructeri, Batavi, Tencteri and a few others. When the Batavi tribe captured a flagship of the Roman general Cerialis, they gifted it to Veleda.

I thought it would be nice to mention her since I have never seen anyone mention any Germanic woman of history. Veleda also was a mediator between the Germanic tribes and the Romans.

The mummified heart of a Norse giant.

While going through his famous grandfather’s belongings after his passing in 1937, violinist Lars Sigerson discovered this casket. It appears to have been passed from generation to generation within his family for hundreds of years. The explanation and whatever story that goes with it has been lost to the ages.

The inscription on the casket is written in old Norse runes and reads: “Behold! Within this casket lies the heart of the fierce and terrible giant known as Hrungnir, slain this day by Fafrd the Red whose bravery and cunning shall live forever!”
