Skoll and Hati run through Norse myth as a pair of wolves in permanent pursuit, one behind the sun and one behind the moon. The old poems treat that chase as the engine of the sky. Time moves because something is running. The face...

Where Norse mythology actually comes fromWorth knowing before wearing it, and it makes the whole thing more interesting rather than less.The Vikings left very little writing. What we have is mostly Icelandic, mostly from the thirteenth century, and much of it was assembled by...
