Upcoming Classes:
“Yes, No, Maybe: Developing Your Viking Kit”
with Frauva Svana Marsdottir
7:00pm EST each 15th of the Month through January
Do you want to move your Viking Age garb towards a more historical grounding? Fantasy is fun, but maybe you’re ready to take that next step in persona development and look to the historical record. What do we know? What do we guess? What are the current theories? What are SCAdianism? Explore these questions with Frauva Svana at 7:00PM every month on the 15th via Google Meet. These informal discussions will be an opportunity for questions, advice seeking and resource sharing.
