...- ➡️ Scandinavian mountains Scandes with a bow and skis. Skandin-av/skandinav means Skaði's people. 'Skaði' in particular means injury or harm, and the name has the same etymology origin as the English "scatche". Scandinavian winters can be both wild, brutal and untamed – just like Skaði. Scandinavia can be referred to 'Dangerous Island' which is a good translation as it was very dangerous for southern people to travel to Scandinavia during winter.
❄ Strabo – a Greek geographer and historian born 63BC, and other historians for a long time believed that Scandinavia was an island by southern people called Skaði's island. Therefore the name Scania which is the origin of southern parts in Sweden. The North Germanic ethnic groups that inhabits Scandinavia to this day, and the countries that includes in present day in Scandinavia is Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The countries that includes in the Scandinavian Peninsula is Sweden, Norway and the northwest areas of Finland. Let us...- continues in comment below ⬇️

↟ Vårdagjämning - Spring Equinox ↟
🇬🇧 - in comment below ⬇️
🌱 Idag infaller vårdagjämningen i Skandinavien som enligt gammal Nordisk tradition räknas som vårens första dag, när tjälen i marken snart släpper och naturen sakta fylls av pånyttfödelse. Nu går vi in i Vanernas tid – den feminina delen av året förknippat med livgivande, fruktbarhet och solen, Sunna.
🌱 Vårdagjämningen ger förebud om vår och förr i Skandinavien var det en av årets viktigaste dagar att uppmärksamma, man tände stora brasor likt vi gör än idag vid Vanadisblotet och Valborgsmässoafton. Arbetet följde årstiderna och när våren kom övergick arbetet i gårdarna i en energirik period – det är nu som vårbruket med plöjning, harvning, gödsling och sådd inleds. Vid vårdagjämning var det viktigt att läsa tydor (tolkningar av bland annat djurens beteende...- fortsättning i kommentar nedan ⬇️

↟ The Forgotten Indigenous People of Scandinavia ↟
❄️ During the last ice age, which lasted until about 12,000–10,000BC, major parts of northern Europe and Scandinavia was covered by a massive ice sheet, a continental glacier several kilometers thick. No human population could exist in the area, as it lacked both vegetation and animal life, and the climate was extremely cold.
❄️ As the climate got warmer, the ice sheet began to retreat from the southern parts, allowing new areas to become habitable. The first people who came to settle in Scandinavia were hunter-gatherers, who followed animal herds up north as the ice sheet melted, and later became the Germanic forefathers of the Native Scandinavians. The oldest traces of them are found in Sweden and Denmark (about 12,000BC). In northern Sweden, Norway and Finland there is evidence of...- continues in comment below ⬇️
