...- cross-country skis. She lived among frost giants in Trymheim and Jotunheim, and the giant Tjasse is her father.
❄ Skandin-av/skandinav means Skaði's people. "Skaði" in particular means injury or harm and the name has the same etymology origin as the English "scatche". Scandinavian winters can be both wild, brutal and untamed -just like Skaði. Scandinavia can be referred to "Dangerous Island" which is a good translation as it was very dangerous for southern people to travel to Scandinavia during winter.
❄ Strabo, a Greek geographer and historian born 63BC, and other historians for a long time believed that Scandinavia was an island by southern people called Skaði's island. Therefore the name Scania which is the origin of southern parts in Sweden.
❄️ The North Germanic ethnic groups that inhabits Scandinavia to this day and the countries that includes in present day in Scandinavia is Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The countries that includes in the Scandinavian Peninsula is Sweden, Norway and the northwest areas of Finland. Let us face ourselves. We are Hyperboreans. Beyond the north, ice, and death. Our life, our happiness. Beautiful satellite photo over Scandinavia taken in February 2003 (clouds are unfortunately covering major parts of Denmark).

Today is the fourth full moon after the Winter Solstice and Sígrblót (Victoryblót) is taking place in Scandinavia. A blót for prosperity and victory - the victory of the Light over the dark and cold. This day also marks that it's now halfway between Midwinter and Midsummer. Every where you look, our ancestors voices echoes. Pleasant Sígrblót, friends! 🔱

Glad Valborg - Happy Mayfestival 🔥
Today we celebrate Valborg and the Majbrasa (Maybonfire) in Sweden. A heathen tradition that heralds from the Sígrblót - we clear away the old to welcome the light and new life again.Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire 🔱

Hans namn är Tommie Lindh.
On this day four years ago, a young Swedish man got stabbed to death while protecting a Swedish girl from being raped by a sudanese immigrant. Tommie Lindh is and was a hero - a pure heroic ideal. Strive for the ideal 🔱
