Vikings. One of history’s most recognisable archetypes. These hardy warriors enjoyed fighting and conquering, but there was much more to the culture than physical might.
A deep sense of spirituality and purpose permeated the Norse societies that dreamed beyond their borders. And Norse history is a tapestry of adventurers, kings, wayfarers, queens and conquerors who etched their names into legend.
