VIKINGS vs SAMURAIApr 29
Shape-shifting in Norse myth? Real-deal warrior mysticism. Berserkers and ulfhednar flipped the switch: soul out, beast in. Hamr magic, plant potions, and straight-up frenzy. These guys were pain-proof, wild-eyed chaos engines. Legends that never die.

Shape-Shifting Warriors: The Mystical Mojo of Norse Berserkers

Rowdy Geirsson (who is not on Mastodon) has a book coming – his translation of the long lost The Impudent Edda. I might have laughed my socks off at this. "Since you know how Odin is."

The original "#NorseMythology for Bostonians" is the best retelling I have ever read, but the slang was killing me. So I nagged and nagged until he translated it to English. F-bombs galore, but it's what I expected from Neil Gaiman. Amazing fun combined with incredible knowledge.
