Post cool stuff and discuss ancient Germanic culture and society from Migration Period and further back.

What's the required reading? I've already ordered a copy of Beowulf, how many of the Eddas are worthwhile?
>>
How much did the Germanic religion change depending on their West/North/East divide?

Germanics are still my favorite ethno-linguistic group. Goths, Norse, Anglo-Saxons, Vandals, Langobards, those weirdos who painted themselves black and attacked in the dead of night screeching like autists, etc.

Used this as a fluff piece for D&D in a Germanic Seven Samurai type scenario. These guys were the badass bandits.

Might be obvious but Tacitus' Germania is invaluable if you read it aware of his biases and social context.

The romans were the first literary culture to really have prolonged interaction with them unfortunately the Eddas have passed through too many hands. Saying that though I think the poetic is the best as more real stuff slips through and some of it has been corroborated with fragments of runic inscriptions and older parchments unlike the prosaic Edda.

You got to understand that the average normie was wanting for vikanzs since episode 1, and they may have started to loose views
Money says jump they jump

The normies already know so much about the viking age. Since we constanly glorify it ourself.

Would have been great to educate the masses.
