does anyone know where I can find info on how to do my hair "a-viking"? Or even info on wheather or not vikings wore braids (like those seen on the mn vikings logo, or the movie "13th warrior)?
See my posting on 'Fun with Hair". So are you Odin goofing with men on MidghardR or really a man with a fun Nick Name? If the latter, are you Asatru'? I am Asatru' and a Sons of Norway Lodge Member; The braids are somewhat accurate as Norsemen were from a colder climate. Long Hair/beards Kept one warmer. The braids made hair easier to deal with on long journies and in battle. The horns on the helmets are a myth which gained popularity in the "Valkyrie" operas by Wagnar. The horns were actualy Drinking horns found burried with armour with dead warriors.
