Dinner with folks in Mays Pond. Read a few tales from this book, before this night cap of sweet port that tastes like Communion, and an episode of The Crown at present.
The Scandinavians sure had a strange obsession with evil trolls murdering you on Christmas Eve. Christmas was their Halloween in terms of being eaten or worse gutted by mythic creatures in the night.
The Vikings came late to the Christian party. Left Rome early with Luther. I think the Trolls were their folk memories of Neanderthals, which they are now scoring exceptionally high as on DNA tests.
I am quite Viking. A tan, 8% African Creole Taino Viking. The Vikings themselves truly got around. That is a prerequisite of a life of piracy, and the ol’ smash & grab.
How I love folk stories. These are yarns my family once knew. The squareheads. Big ones. Big heads and strong brow ridges from our Neanderthal cousins it seems.
The indigenous not quite so Homo Sapien, almost human peoples of Europe.
Kind of like Trolls. Maybe just as strong, but not quite so clever. But all we have is folk memories and DNA puzzles in them broken old bones of Scandinavia…and the Americas.
Because Vikings got around. Riddle me this,
The Viking contact with The Americas may be only one part of the explosive fact that certain Native Americans like the Algonquian peoples have such a high concentration of Haplotype group X.
This book was given to us by Hilder, an old Swede from our now defunct Lutheran church.
