Take care, Bjorn.

Like the valkyries, those furies who men fear and desire.

Harald Finehair & Halfdan The Black: 4x16 “Crossings”

One day, we must overcome the Lothbroks, for how else can I become the King of all Norway?

[brucee-waynee]

“It gladdens me to know that Odin prepares for a feast. Soon I shall be drinking ale from curved horns. This hero that comes into Valhalla does not lament his death! I shall not enter Odin’s hall with fear. There I shall wait for my sons to join me. And when they do, I will bask in their tales of triumph. The Aesir will welcome me! My death comes without apology! And I welcome the valkyries to summon me home!“ 

Ragnar Lothbrok (Approx. 766 AD - 860 AD)

It will be at least another day before I am put to death. You and your gods are wrong.

- So I will have the chance to speak? I’ll talk about the gods, about my joy of entering Valhalla. - Even though you don’t believe it. - I don’t. But my sons do. My people do. Faith is as important to them as it is to you, King Ecbert.

Athelstan was a man of God. And now he is dead.

If they don’t exist, then they don’t exist. We have to live with it.

Where is our mother?                                    She’s dead, Ubbe. I killed her.

                 I don’t believe in the gods’ existence. Man is the master of his own fate, not the gods.
