Þorri konungr 17


According to the Old Norse calendar, we are approaching the end of the third of the six winter months, and find ourselves in the middle of the winter half-year. Next week we will enter the month of Þorri. King Þorri is a personification of winter described in medieval manuscripts such as the Orkneyinga saga.

For the past week, we have had lots of wonderful snow here on the west coast of Norway. 🌬




My niece bought me this comb when visiting the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. ♥




My new Hedeby shoes, handmade by my friend Hans Gunnar at Eikthyrnir. ^^

They are handsewn in vegetable-tanned leather, but modern rubber soles have been added for more durability (and better grip on the slippery snow and grass).



I also made those knee-high needlebound socks recently! Keeping warm and dry. 🧦☝🏻




Music: Munknörr - Andi (ft. Sigurboði)
