an inventive Norse Lore card catalogue.



Our personal NorsePlay compelled us to create a library card catalogue of Norse Lore sources we wish existed. Perhaps they're still out there in a burial mound guarded by draugr, or in a dreki's horde just waiting to be found? Enlarge to read the details.

 [Out-of-production Rotring Persian Red ink on parchment cardstock, 10 mil laminated, tyvek hole reinforcers. (The awesome Dark Librarian core patch is the work of Daniel Davis of Steam Crow and placed here to also contextualize the catalogue as a Monster Rangers' achievement. Look them up at http://monsterrangers.com -- they're wayyyy cool.)]

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.

    Jackson Crawford/ Norse Mythology / Survive the Jive: You'll all appreciate the wishful conceit of this. If only, right?
    Vincent Enlund: And on top of that conceit, you might recognize the Monster Rangers from their homebase of metro Phoenix.

    Elias Gutierrez: Here's an accessory for the apron I mentioned, plus follow the Monster Rangers' link for all the details on them.

    r3al P: And a core patch example that the hex patches nest under, along with the cards that're complimenting the apron I mentioned.

NorsePlay Interviews: Vikingverse Author Ian Stuart Sharpe!

Image
NorsePlay recently reviewed the Vikingverse series , and I loved it so much, I've reached out to its author & creator  Ian Stuart Sharpe to bring you this Q&A interview filled with all the inquiries his brilliant what-if-the-Vikings-had-conquered-the-world masterwork compelled me to ask.  For background, Sharpe's  career as a published writer started with the first Vikingverse installment, The All Father Paradox (2018 CE), continued with sequel Loki's Wager (2020 CE), gained even more literal public support with his crowdfunded Vikingverse graphic novel,  The Jötunn War (2021 CE), and then an equally fan-supported  Vikingverse -adjacent phrasebook Old Norse For Modern Times (2021 CE).   Sharpe's from London, UK, did some growing up in East Anglia, and now lives in Oak Bay, British Columbia, Canada. His longer tech career includes working for the BBC, IMG, Atari, and Electronic Arts. [Note that this interview does contain spoilers. Now, onto the meat 'n&

Thor brings the rains ... and the hot buttered grains.

Thor was also considered the farmer's god because his storms summoned the needed rains that watered the fields of grain. In this very modern case, $15 at Thor: Ragnarok brings a promotional keepsake bucket of movie popcorn with a lid styled after his Contest of Champions winged helmet!

Freyr's last stand.

Image
NorsePlay has long admired Sam Flegal's work so much we've featured it as our collection's banner from the beginning until now. The work is Freyr's Last Stand (2014). We love his take on the dwarven wrought golden boar Gullinbursti as a mechanical war steed . [Check out Flegal's other work & gets awesome prints at www.fatefulsigns.com .] #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven.
