As of a few days ago, I've successfully plotted 300 mappoints for my Map Of Midgard Project! This is the second update since the initial blog post and the first update . Serious progress. Now you're probably wondering at the points on the above screencap in North/Central/South America. While some mappoints are namesake sites for land features named after figures in the Norse Lore, and Viking exploration/settlement sites, there are other speculative and thought provoking sites we're including in the spirit of open debate/legend/scientific theory, and you have discovering them & their locations to look forward to when the map goes live. There remain 350+ locations left to attempt to map (which is a stunning 120 more than the last post) which only grows in number as more source/secondary/tertiary materials are mined for Lore-relevant sites. We suspect 500-600 mappoints by time of publication, so this may be a very exciting halfway mark, if our estimate is correct. ...

As of this writing, I've plotted 200 mappoints for my Map Of Midgard Project! This is the first update since the original blog post  as 200's an achievement of remarkable single-handed progress in & of itself. Note in the above screencap that Iceland resembles a cartographic porcupine mostly because they recognize & love their landvættir , and they're saga-riffic about recording their past. There remain 270+ locations left to attempt to map, and this number grows as more source/secondary/tertiary materials are mined for Lore-relevant sites. Subscribe & stay tuned to NorsePlay for more updates & announcements about my Map Of Midgard Project.

For the record, this is the aggregate post I wrote to the Asatru Lore, Asatru & Heathen, and Norse Mythology communities on GooglePlus in January of 2016: Have posted this Map of Midgard idea to my three Norse-related communities, and while it's garnered some plus one support, haven't really gotten needed response/s, and thought to re-post this as public in case the previously plus-tagged can't reply within those groups, or if anyone else circled but outside of those groups can offer some assistance. If so, do let me know. W ondering if anyone's ever constructed a Norse Midgard map with lore-relevant sites on it, like Asbyrgi canyon stamped by Sleipnir's horseshoe and other such locations? It would make an inspiring source for trip itineraries. If not, I want to commission this as a hand drawn map from an old style cartographer I met, which I'd have a different digital version shared online for everyone's use, but aside from the aforemen...
