Laocoön, a Trojan priest, and his two sons, Antiphantes and Thymbraeus, are being attacked by sea serpents. The serpents were sent by the gods as punishment for interfering with their plans during the Trojan War, particularly for Laocoön's warning against accepting the Greek gift of the Trojan Horse.

We always depict the ancient Germans the same way. In the woods killing things, looking stoic after having killed things, staring at each other lovingly in tragic repose as deaths icy grip claims them.
Alternatively:
The tradition of taking the cows down the mountain
The Bavarian Wild Man dance
The German stomping dance
Food for thought. Fodder for art.

Alternatively:
The tradition of taking the cows down the mountain
(Alpabzug) in The Alps is over five thousand years old. The Bavarian Wild Man dance
(Wilde-Mändle-Tanz) dates to the Celtic Era. The German stomping dance
(Schuhplattler) and the building of snowmen are so old we have no idea how old they are. Food for thought. Fodder for art.

In the Vatnsdæla saga, Ingimundr is given a small silver figure, called a hlutr, of Freyr by king Harald. He meets a Sami shaman who predicts he will lose it, and find it where he is to make his new home; which he does in Vatnsdalur, Iceland.
Similar to how in the Landnámabók, other explorers would throw their high-seat pillars, often carved with an image of Thor, into the sea and make their homes wherever they came ashore.
The term hlutr derives from Proto-Germanic hluta, meaning fate and/or to cast lots, from which the term hlaut also derives.

The Landnámabók and Njáls saga mention an interesting Old Norse term; ófreskr, meaning second sight.
In the Landnámabók, second sight includes the ability to see landvættir following Hafur-Björn, a witch in disguise, and Dufthak and Storolf’s fylgjur fighting, as well as foresight, also mentioned in Njáls saga.
Painting: Älvalek by August Malmström, 1866.

If you are a man, stop wasting time with irrelevant political tattle and make yourself useful.
Do not be a spectator any longer. Arise, enter the stage and become an active player.
Create or join a brotherhood with men who share your ideals, then take over the world.
