We bring together in this space the mythological traditions of northern Europe: Scandinavian, Germanic, Saxon and even Finnish.

The Norse peoples inhabited northern Europe and Scandinavia during the third and sixth centuries of our era. Around the year 700 they moved southward in a series of migrations that would take them to Great Britain, Iceland, Greenland and eastern Russia.

It is from this moment that the Norse peoples became known as Vikings.
