"Wolves of Nuada" by Ire (2021)

“To be free and independent has always been the greatest ambition of every true Norseman. Stubbornness, firmness, and determination are qualities which the follower of Odin has been largely blessed with. To him no defeat was final. Failure meant only delay. He overcame all opposition, conquered every obstacle, defied every difficulty. Mountains, oceans, deserts, rivers, must not hinder his purpose.”
-Nelson, O. A., History of Scandinavians in the United States, p. 20.

A Viking Feast by Vincent Pompetti

“One of the Latvian folk costume elements that brings with it an air of mystery and mysticism is the Lielvārde belt. An important part of the Lielvārde folk costume, it has legendary status because of the symbolism woven into it – reputedly the origin of the universe and human DNA is encoded in its red and white patterns and geometric ornaments, also providing the wearer with protective powers from evil.”
A very interesting read on the Lielvārde belts, check it out!
