Second Saga Con in the books! Had a wonderful week in Katowice and Krakow 🇵🇱! Thanks to the committee and all their assistants for facilitating a collegial atmosphere! It was great to reconnect with friends from all over the world and meet many new scholars who share the same passion for ON lit!

I think all airports should have a Varangian Runestone.
This Arlanda example is a commemoration of one of the many lost on the infamous Ingvar expedition to 'the east' (probably the Caspian Sea) in c. 1041-2.

Quick layover in Mannheim in route to Düsseldorf. Checked out the Wasserturm and Kunsthalle Mannheim before my next bus(which of course was delayed and I could have spent more time in the museum)! Really enjoyed viewing the works of Tavares Strachen and seeing some photos of Marlene Dietrich!

Medieval Healers Used Nettles to Treat Wounds, Not Just to Sting, Study Finds - Medievalists.net
Medieval healers saw nettles as more than a painful weed. New research uncovers how they used the stinging plant in remedies for wounds, infections, and more.

Went to Rottenburg am Neckar today to see some Roman ruins including the oldest Roman latrine this side of the Alps! Parts of Roman town Summlocenna were uncovered when a new parking lot was being built! Also wandered around the town and stopped in a few churches!

Living the medievalist’s dream of only having a forty minute walk to a monastery (granted almost 700 ft of elevation change)! When I arrived mass was still in session so I got to hear the bell and some hymns!Some shots of Bebenhausen from this weekend!

Narri, Narro! Had a great time at the 100th year celebration of Narrenzunft Rottenburg am Neckar, which brought together 45 Fool’s guilds from Swabia and beyond. There were over 7000 individuals in the parade and the procession lasted several hours with plenty of witches, confetti, and music!

In June, I found out about a new find via a metal detecting magazine’s FB page. I contacted the local FLO and went to go see it. This is such an exciting find, being a finger ring featuring a long runic inscription. It’s perhaps a mixed script inscription, with both runes and Roman letters.

It was a pleasure to work with Aquilia, a British children’s magazine, on their December #Vikings issue! The issue is a mix of facts and fun that will hopefully inspire the next generation of Vikingologists! Plus the spreads by different illustrators are simply gorgeous!
