Some recent Danish archaeological research has revealed the colour palettes used by the Vikings, which range from rich reds and bright yellows to more earthy colours like greens and browns.Ĭolour symbolised power and wealth in the era, and it's interesting to note that things were probably a lot more colourful than we first thought. So while there isn't hard proof, it does seem likely that artwork on the arm was a common feature. Every man is tattooed from finger nails to neck with dark green (or green or blue-black) trees, figures, etc.

The swords are broad and grooved, of Frankish sort. He wrote:Įach man has an axe, a sword, and a knife and keeps each by him at all times. We do know from Arabic observer that the Rus, a Swedish Viking tribe that are believed to be the ancestors of East Slavic people, had tattoos. #vikingart #viking #vikingtattoo #norse #norsetattoo #nordic #nordictattoo #dotwork #norsemythology #knotwork #myth #myart #mythical #mythology #art #artist #illustrator #illustration #illustrationart #dragon #dragonart #reenactor #reenactment #vikingreenactmentĪ post shared by ubbe_jarne_daem on at 8:04am PDT This took me 2 days to finish, but had fun making it!. To kick off March Madness coverage and fun here on the Rambling Viking I have started a bracket challenge group on ESPN where I filled out live on the show my "RIDE THE LIGHTNING" bracket, which basically means I did no extra research and went with my gut instincts on the selections.Siegfried/Sigurd kills Fafnir…. I want to share those stories of people's struggles and show the blessings that can come from them to promote encouragement for those who find themselves in struggle. We all have struggles in life and it's easy to let them bring you down. If you have a story of tragedy that brought blessings and would like to share it please contact the show or myself personally and we will have you on. She now feels prepared to take on whatever life can throw at her and has seen a significant increase in her confidence, something she has struggled with. She found that going through this made her stronger and showed her just how tough she is. Despite all of that and almost giving up on school she made it through and will be applying for RT school this spring. She has a unique situation where her brain doesn't just learn best a certain way but her brain only learns a certain way and schooling shifting to online inhibited her ability to learn the material severely. The last two years have been a struggle for her, at times she was studying 40 hours a week for a single class.

I sat down with my sister Rachel who was a freshman in 2020 when the world went sideways.

This is the debut of my new series covering stories of struggle that bring forth positive outcomes despite the difficulty. If you have a Blessings from Tragedy story that you would like to tell please reach out to me through my personal channels or the podcast's pages. If you would like to donate to Connor's WalkMS team or just the cause in general please follow this link to the WalkMS page: WalkMS He is now using his experience to build out a business to help people who find themselves, as he would put it, living like "2016 Connor." His story is one of inspiring hope that no matter what life throws at you, good can be found out of the ashes of disaster. It caused him to take stock and choose to seek the good in life and since then has put him in a position of purpose in life with deeper connections and empathy. It opened up his perspective on life and how he was just skating through, apathetically.

Today is Oklahoma's Walk MS which is an event to raise awareness and money to help research the invisible disease that it is in hopes of one day finding a cure.Ĭonnor was first diagnosed in 2017 and it rocked his world, but ironically mostly in a positive way. In this out of the ordinary schedule release I sit down with the right hand honyock, Connor, to discuss his contracting MS in his mid twenties and how that has changed his life, mostly for the better.
