Today is a good day to admire Färjestadskragen.
This gold collar/necklace/thing was crafted by master smiths between the years 400 and 550 and found in the Grove of Thor in Ferry City on Island Land in the Kingdom of Sweden. And it’s awesome.

The ancient graves of Kalmar 🇸🇪 lie in the shadow of IKEA but they are nonetheless glorious, and they take many stone-laden forms. Check out the link for more info and images. scandinavianaggression.com/2025/11/kalm...

Massachusetts runestone (authentically dated to 1960).
As all good runestones do, it stands by the roadside and proclaims its glory to all who pass it, which are mainly visitors to the Scandinavian Cultural Center in Newton because that’s whose lawn it is on.

Oh, what a lucky man he was! The knight here, that is. Exploring The Lore of the Land. This is not a straight read-through sort of book, but certainly a beauty to behold and to browse. English brown ale optional but definitely recommended.

Not a single Norse myth retelling in sight on the local Barnes and Noble mythology retellings table! The display sure could benefit from some Impudent Eddas and also some Witch’s Hearts.

Today is a good day to admire the Torslunda Plate depicting a man holding an axe and the end of a rope that is keeping a beastly animal in check. (Beastly animals really needed to be held in check during the Vendel Period).
