ASTRONOMY OF THE VIKINGS

The Vikings as we know them did not use our traditional astronomy, but had periods protected by the gods of VALHALLA and ASGARDUR, where the gods and goddesses shared the year and ruled the seasons.

The question is which Nordic god or goddess rules your period?

RUNES OF THE VIKINGS

What does your birthday rune look like or what does it mean? What do the runes say about your birthday or your kinsmen, friends, colleges or business? The sisters (witches - The Fates); URDUR, VERDANDI and SKULD weaved up the fate onto ones web of destiny, and handed out the Day Runes to each newly born child at URDARBRUNNUR, (the WELL of URDUR), which was based at the tree of life itself; YGGDRASILL, or the Milky Way. And it is also believed that they gave eachchild its personality or character. So take a look!

Each day of the year has it’s own sign, name, tradition and prophesy.
