Description: You found yourself in the middle of a harsh snowstorm. The wind is stronger than ever and you’re seeking refuge in a famous tavern in the woods. Exhausted, you’re sitting down while the band has started playing.

► Tyr: The stalwart god of Justice and War amongst the 'Aesir' in germanic mythology. He sacrificed his hand to the monstrous wolf Fenrir, who bites off his limb while the gods bind the animal, and he is foretold of being consumed by the similarly monstrous dog 'Garmr' during the events of Ragnarök.
In Old Norse sources, Tyr is alternately described as the son of the Jötunn 'Hymir' or of the god 'Odin'. He is the namesake of the rune 'Tiwaz' (ᛏ). On runic inscriptions, 'ᛏ' often appears as a magical symbol.

Erik the Red is remembered in medieval and Icelandic sagas as having founded the first continuous settlement in Greenland.
Erik’s voyage began in the spring of 982. He and his ships left from Sneefellsjokull (spelled Snaefellsjokull in Icelandic) and traveled about 180 miles. In the summer of 983, he landed on the westcoast of a new country. When Gunnbiorn saw the new land back in 877 CE, he called it Cronland. Erik named it Grϋnland, or Greenland in English, because of the green meadows he found. He also believed the name was more inviting and that people would want to go there.4 He spent the winter on the east coast in a place he named Eriksey (also spelled Eiriksey) which translates to “Erik’s Island.” In the spring, he moved further inland and headed to a neighboring fjord, or inlet, that he named Eriksfjord which means “Erik’s Fjord.” During the summer, Erik and his men explored uninhabited lands to the west and named many different areas, most of them starting with “Erik.”

Erik and his explorers found that this new land had a similar climate to Iceland. Fjords froze over in winter, but contained rich vegetation during the warmer summers. He spent the winter of 983 CE – 984 CE on the southern tip of Greenland. When spring returned, he did further exploration until he once again returned to Eriksey for winter. He did this during his three years of exile until his banishment was over. When his exile was ended, he sailed back around Cape Farewell to return to Iceland which he reached in the summer of 985 CE. In total, Erik the Red had sailed over six thousand miles in only four sailing seasons, making it one of the greatest maritime feats achieved during the medieval period.

Having settled many colonies in Greenland, Erik the Red had planned one other voyage of exploration. Greenland lacked an important resource for the settlers – wood. One of the ships that left Iceland a few months after Erik’s main fleet arrived in Greenland a few months late. They had initially sailed too far south. When the ship finally made it to Greenland, their captain told Erik about a land he saw that was filled with wood. Erik discussed plans to visit this land with his oldest son Leif. Shortly before getting ready to leave, Erik’s horse stumbled badly. He took this as an omen that he should remain home, and Leif went on to make the journey without his father. Although the date and cause of death of Erik the Red are unknown, it is believed that it is after Leif’s return to Greenland with news of his voyage.

Visund ('Bison') was Olav Haraldsson's ship built c. 1020. It was decorated with a g ilded visundhode (a bison's head with horns) on the stem and fought many battles. Listen to one of Visunds voyages as it claims the throne of one of the most feared ships in whole scandinavia to that time.

Visund

A project to rekindle our nordic ancestors' spirits through their powerful instruments and music.

Through old, partly ancient instruments, I want to kindle the spirit of our ancestors. What does viking music mean to me? Old, gnarly and rough instruments, aged by the salt of the seas. Whereas medieval tracks resonate with the zeitgeist of the according lifestyle back then. I want you to feel the incredible, overwhelming raw power of music, composed, produced and lived by my heart.
