funeral
Viking
Funerals Vikings believe that their work and all that is in the
should end in flames.
| They
place their honored dead in grounded ships along with tools
and weapons and set the ships ablaze. The souls would wing to
the halls of Asgard, some to Valhalla, for an eternity of feasting
and brawling. |
|
Every
year at the Delamont Viking Festival this ritual is played out to
honor the worrier king Magnus Bearlegs.
|
|
Magnus
has been killed in battle and his body is carries in procession
then placed on a grounded boat. The boat is set alight and soon
it is ablaze with flames. |
|
The
dragon's head appears to breath fire in the roaring heat.
Soon all the remains are the ribs of the boat like a skeleton.
All
the while, villagers and Vikings look on as the ashes and
some rise towards the stars carrying Magnus to the infinity
of souls.
