[QUOTE="WeebdeeW, post: 208331, member: 13184"] History says they left Vinland after only being there for a few years, at least as far as the settlements. Vikings returned multiple times over the centuries before Columbus traveled to Iceland and heard stories of Vinland, before attempting the voyage himself. Ah, no. At least, not yet. The meat is in a freezer waiting to be eaten. It is not that they demand we eat or sacrifice cows specifically. I chose a cow because I think it makes a better offering due to the size. I did not have everything a ritual would normally have, but I believe the gods will accept my sacrifice. First I carved small effigies of Odin, Thor, and Freya. I built a pyre upon which the cows head sat. I scattered the bones along the bottom of the pyre and then made a circle of flowers around the cow skull and the edge of the pyre. I painted my face white with black rings around my eyes and bones down my nose and across my cheekbones. After that the preparations were as complete as I could get them. I spoke to the gods in turn, starting with Odin, begging for him to answer my plea and return me to my time. I asked Thor for the strength to live in this time until I could return to my own. And finally I asked Freya to watch over my family and protect them. After that I poured the cows blood over my head until it covered me and soaked into my clothes and skin, stepped in front of the pyre, and set it aflame. I felt the wind blowing strongly as the flame was lit, and spoke my plea to each of them once again, watching the pyre and bones burn until all that remained was ash. It remains to be seen if the sacrifice worked. Perhaps my presence here has meaning to them. I hope that meaning is not in Ragnarök. Drinking, alcohol free? Why? The alcohol is the best part. As for fighting, well. I don’t imagine any of you are close enough for that. Nor particularly able compared to my Viking brothers and sisters. This is because Odin and the other gods are living gods, not dead like the Christ God. They hold real power in this world, they act upon this world. They do not sit idly watching events unfold. From my understanding, the Christ God, for all of his supposed power, does nothing with it. Not that I have noticed. Well, I would have to use it to go back myself, wouldn’t I? I am sure they did, even if I am uncomfortable with the situation. May Thor have heard my plea and give me the strength to see my destiny through. [/QUOTE]
