when is a subdermal ring NorsePlay?

When is a subdermal ring NorsePlay? When in The History of the Danes the hero Hadingus kills a jötunn to save princess Regnhild from marriage, she tends to his leg wound and implants a ring inside of him so she can identify him later in a line of suitors, all of whom she gets to feel up first. Clever girl. So just maybe inline with the tissue-thin tribalist pretensions of body modification enthusiasts there's a callback to Norse Lore somewhere inside this practice.

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.
