Map Of Midgard side update: Bookmans East carries The Path Of Odin map!

Image
NorsePlay is happy to let you know that The Path Of Odin map is available at Bookmans East ! Just look on the north endcap of their mythology shelves pictured above to grab yourself (or the favourite Norse Nerd in your life) a print ($25) from the side pocket, or the already handsomely framed version ($75) on display! While the map is also available at Nexus Books and Four Of Wands (and do patronize them!), if you have Bookmans store trade, the educator's discount (for that mythology unit), or the teen/kids' club discount, you can apply those to your purchase of the  Óðinnsvegr  and vik it that way. Remember that map purchase includes Gmail account access to the digital map with additional rollover story/source data and GPS coordinates! For example: [ sound familiar? ] I would like to personally thank store manager Michael Treveloni for his support of the Map Of Midgard Project (he's a true drengr & friend) in carrying The Path Of Odin map! Again, it's amazin

Along with already being at Nexus , the newly renovated & relaunched  Four Of Wands now has The Path Of Odin map up on display for purchase : As pictured, the  Óðinnsvegr 's in the second bay on Four Of Wands' west wall, just ask staff to get a print ($25) out of the back pocket, or if you want the prestige & convenience of the glass & wood framed one ($75) they'll gladly take it down for you. Note that the prints have sold out three times already at Nexus, so I'm glad to have the another local venue carrying the  Óðinnsvegr .   Remember that map purchase includes Gmail account access to the digital map with rollover story/source data and GPS coordinates! For example: About the Óðinnsvegr : Using the 54-Odinic mappoints from the larger Map Of Midgard Project, I commissioned Medieval Mapmaker Jesse Kennedy, an artist who has extensive experience in hand drawing hundreds of map designs. His adeptness in scripting hands & fonts, and his crisp linework (

During the current ongoing backup & editing process for The Map Of Midgard , I took a four-month departure to produce a proof-of-concept Odin-specific map, the  Óðinnsvegr : The Path Of Odin map , which is now for sale at Nexus Books in Tucson! Prints are $25 USD each, and a glass & wood framed version is $75 USD. Note that in under 24-hours, the first batch of map prints have sold, and I've had to go restock them already! You may also contact me directly for purchase, and I also have plans to have them retailed at a few other venues in Tucson, and will announce that here as it happens. Note that  map purchase includes Gmail account access to the digital map with rollover story/source data and GPS coordinates!  For example: About the  Óðinnsvegr : Using the 54-Odinic mappoints from the larger Map Of Midgard , I commissioned Medieval Mapmaker Jesse Kennedy, an artist who has extensive experience in hand drawing hundreds of map designs. I'd met him years ago at the Arizo

A Norse-inspired world map from Brock "Zzilla" Brown's Life On Water project, which shows a more aqueous fishbowl version of things. For a seafaring culture, perhaps this idea holds some water. #    #    # 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.
