A warrior, an artisan, nature lover; diligence, integrity and honesty on a continual path of expression.
A large part of my life is led in the traditions of my ancient Scandinavian and Germanic ancestors. Even though the Viking Age only lasted about 250 to maybe 350 years, the culture, beliefs and traditions from which it grew remain strong in my life today. A culture must evolve to live.
The culture of my ancestors does not live within the limitations today of the “weekend Viking” dressing up for faires. It lives in my daily actions of heart and mind; focus, intentions, beliefs, codes and virtues. To me pretending has no part in it. I live the beliefs, study the old ways, work the craft and have even incorporated old fighting styles into my lifelong martial art. I continually studies not only the Eddas, but also the works of people such as Gundula Adolfsson, Inga Lundström, Tove Hjørungdal, Brit Solli, Niel Price and Anne Stine Ingstad, and many others for their wonderful insights as well as archaeological facts from a lifetime of research.
The old Scandinavia and Viking culture runs through my veins and I strive to keep it alive through my every breath. I am a Viking of the modern world doing my part to share the richness of its roots with the world today.
I deeply respect all animals and believe in energy and the "medicine" of each. I make sure to carefully source all my animal materials so as to obtain them from humane and lifestyle necessary sources only. While working the materials to craft my products I focus my respect to the animal from whence they came: placing that energy into each finished product and intending the medicine of the animals to continue traveling with the finished products wherever they go.
