Aslaug and Ubbe in Vikings 4.12 “The Vision”

#don’t like the beard but he’s still so gorgeous

It was an old custom, that when there was to be a sacrifice all the free men should come to the spot where the temple stood and bring with them all that they required while the festival of the sacrifice lasted. To this festival all the men brought ale with them; and all kinds of cattle, as well as horses, were slaughtered, and all the blood that came from them was called “hlaut”, and the vessels in which it was collected were called hlaut-vessels. Hlaut-staves were made, like sprinkling brushes, with which the whole of the altars and the temple walls, both outside and inside, were sprinkled over, and also the people were sprinkled with the blood; but the flesh was boiled into savoury meat for those present. The fire was in the middle of the floor of the temple, and over it hung the kettles, and the full goblets were handed across the fire; and he who made the feast, and was a chief, blessed the full goblets, and all the meat of the sacrifice.

                                 There’s going to be a storm. Everything will end in disaster.                                                  You will drown. I’ve seen it.                                                                                     You will die, Ivar.

I would raid with your son, and not with you! For I believe the gods have deserted you, King Ragnar Lothbrok! You are on your own.

Come meet my brothers.
