a storm is coming.

the best of ep. 11

I learned from my father. The only way to tell if something is real is to sail there.

Helga. I have to leave.

There wouldn’t be such things as therapist. I think the Vikings, one of the things they are greatly known for is the storytelling and talking and they didn’t write, traditionally as we know it now. So, I think actually talking and I think Floki’s and Helga’s relationship and discovery, I mean they do have a special bond. I think probably that this is almost therapeutic because you know, they spoke a lot about the problems, and they fought things together and I think the wording is different, but I do think that Helga’s character is that person for him. You know, somebody he can go through these challenges with and they fight it together. - Maude Hirst

Teach him the way of our gods.

What actually happened in 4.05 ‘Promise.’

And, Floki, I know he is clever. I want you to teach him the ways of our Gods. Teach Ivar the true path. Teach him to hate the Christian God as you hate the Christian God! Only you can do it, not Ragnar. I will bring him to you every day. Teach him to be a Viking. Teach him the deep, and ancient, ways.
