The book has arrived and thus I can begin taking a deep dive into the historical fact behind the drama of King & Conqueror - as I prep for a special bonus episode with the author, Sharon Bennett Connolly. And yes, this the only neutral way I am going to connecting with King & Conqeror series.

This week, our project member Chris Cooijmans will be revealing some initial results from the Great Viking Survey as part of the Midgard Talks series in Borre. Do come along if you find yourself in the area, especially if you're already at Midgardsblot next door! vestfoldmuseene.no/midgard-viki...

Poster for a talk at 'Midgard Talks 2025' on Thursday 14 August:

Text: Christian Cooijmans - Postdoc, Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo. 'The Endless Viking Age: Global Perspectives on a Premodern Past'

Abstract: The Viking Age fascinates globally, often romanticised or
politicised. Yet few studies explore its worldwide perception. Drawing on the Great Viking Survey with over 10,000 responses, this talk reveals new insights into how Vikings are viewed and reimagined today, showing their enduring cultural impact across diverse modern audiences.

This is my current read: Valley of the Vikings by @lizkessler.bsky.social - and yes I borrowed it from Kirklees Library simply because of the word Vikings. Rather enjoying it. Children's fiction is just as good as adult fiction. And I'm definitely wanting to add Liz to my future podcast guest list.

Of course, this is NOT the most popular or even common representation of Loki. This is incredibly and vastly at odds to the Loki of @joannechocolat.bsky.social @louiestowell.bsky.social @catrector.com and @lyrawolfauthor.bsky.social Remarkably it's also opposed to the Marvel representation.

Now, there is a LOT to be said about the representation of Norse Gods and other characters from the pantheon, etc. Marvel has a LOT of influence there... Book representation has always interested me. Yet I sometimes forget how much Book Covers also have an impact. Exhibit A. Class, discuss
