Was Norway's first unitarian preacher assassinated because he knew too much about mankind's (Norwegian) origins? Are trolls actually just other human races (from different parts of West Norway)? Are the movements of celestial bodies troubling and unpredictable? Was the church of St. Thomas on Filefjell built by the Norse god Týr? N. O. Foss certain…

In 2021 in Denmark, a metal detectorist chanced upon twenty-something Migration Era gold objects weighing almost a kilogram in total. Several of these were so-called bracteates, medallions bearing runic inscriptions and strange iconography. One of these stated "... he is Odin's man".
