but vikings actually do wear wrestling belts.




From the longstanding & gullible Bailey School Kids' series comes Vikings Don't Wear Wrestling Belts. Viking Vince goes up against Bear Claw for the city championship belt, and teaches the kids about runes & that real vikings don't have horns on their helmets along the way. As silly as it looks, really, and not one mention of Glima, the Icelandic wrestling where they actually do wear belts.

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.
