fjorn-the-skald:fjorn-the-skald:Fjorn’s Hall: Learn Norse History, Literature, and LoreSince graduating with my M.A., I’ve been working to help make academic resources more accessible (while also trying to create a career for myself as an academic). My solution so far has been to make this website, fjorns-hall.com, to provide reliable and accessible information about Norse history, literature, and lore for everyone at a fair price.Although most of my courses and resources are behind a modest paywall (no more than $10/month), I still offer a fair amount of free content:Lore Tome: Loki (with 14 sources & 67 entires, so far)Academic Library (with 37 books & 43 articles, so far)Digital Library (with 27+ resources listed, so far)Saga Library (with 162+ translations listed, so far)Lesson 1.1: The ‘Vikings’ (1387 words) + its lecture (10:22)Lesson 1: Healing from Gods, Magic, and Runes (1758 words) + its lecture (12:34)Lesson 1: Days (and the Norse Conception of Time) (1114 words) + its lecture (8:00)Lesson 1a: The Northern Environment (749 words) + Lesson 1b: Iceland and the North Atlantic (506 words) + their lecture (8:12)Lesson 1: What Are Land-Spirits? (1152 words) + its lecture (8:19)Lesson 1: Sighvat’s Journey (881 words)More free content will become available as I write more courses (since every 1st lesson is free) and create more libraries (I’m planning an Old Norse one for the near future). Nevertheless, this content takes a lot of time to prepare, so I can’t make everything free (time is precious and living is quite expensive). If you’re able to (and have the drive to learn more), then I hope you’ll be able to support the website by subscribing. If not, that’s okay! Just showing your support with a like, reblog, or follow goes a long way, too.Additional free content added recently:Public Lectures (from the Recorded Lectures series):Including….— ‘Viking’ Love Stories (34:28)— Njal’s Saga: A Medieval Bestseller You Probably Haven’t Heard Of (33:59)Lesson 1: The Medieval World of Nikulás Bergsson (1526 words) [Lecture forthcoming] -- source link
