Vintage NorsePlay: a 1960s Ben Cooper Halloween Viking mask.







From those costume-in-a-box sets with the thin plastic mask with the stapled on rubberband you might remember as a kid. The Norwegian color scheme'd horned helmet's painted eyes with the sort-of rosemåling banding's a surprising combination of elements.

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.
