Non-Traditional Wedding Vows

We could not compare our traditional wedding vow to the Vikings. They would announce their love for each other by some rituals. The bride should take off any items that could make them look single. It includes clothes, jewelry, and any other stuff and store it away and would change her life as a bride. While the groom would walk pass a grave and recur with a sword meant to symbolize death and rebirth. After they finished the ritual, that was the time that the couple would be required to indulge a drink before they could go upstairs into the wedding chamber.

They Could Sail Through The Roughest Water

Vikings were veterans when it comes to sailing. They could sail through the roughest water to reach their destination. Vikings had a supernatural ability that could detect the sun. With the sunstone, they could track the sun to find the right direction towards their goal. In our current era, sunstone was now called Icelandic spar, where it would react when we would hold the object to the sun. The reaction of the item was called “Haidinger’s Brush.”
