A Viking's Worth
"Viking" holds different meanings to many pertaining to the culture, the history, the religion, the people as a whole. This piece is just one of those personal interpretations and impressions of what Viking means, so please take that into consideration. It explores the roles and how they all nod to each other as a people to work together and for each other. The farmers cultivate the land and would defend it with honor as the past generations have when needed. Others, warriors and shieldmaidens, set sail for new destinations, exploring and/or raiding, either coming back to their homeland or conquering new lands to claim. Odin watches over all, through the eyes of Huginn and Muninn, and the people as a whole, honor the Gods, despite their differences. The dream of Valhalla brings a deep honor and connection to those fallen, to those fighting, to those honoring and cultivating the culture. The shields of generations past reflect thatbeyond the violence and discontent between, there is a deep-seeded respect and freedom in belonging to the same realm of "Viking".
