Many now define the Viking as a person from Scandinavia involved in plundering, trade, or colonization. But at that time, the word vikingr was used only for someone who went i viking - raiding and plundering. For some, this was a way of life, but many Scandinavians never went.<\/p>
It was calculated that the modern English population has approximately 6% Danish Viking ancestry, with Scottish and Irish populations having up to 16%. Additionally, populations from all areas of Britain and Ireland were found to have 3\u20134% Norwegian Viking ancestry.<\/p>
It would be very difficult to actually be a Viking in the modern day... plus, it's very illegal. This does not stop us from researching into them, enjoying their history and practice in some of their traditions and ways of life. <\/p>
You can relate to Vikings in many ways though... <\/p>
\ud83d\udcdcDelve deeper into Norse God's and religion.<\/p>
\ud83c\udf0aEnjoy the open water and the sea.<\/p>
\ud83c\udfa8Craft, sculpt, and build from natural resources.<\/p>
\ud83c\udf0fExplore Midgard and all it has to offer.<\/p>
\ud83c\udf33Practice their values such as independence, adventure, and their respect for nature providing a deeper connection to our existence.<\/p>
\ud83d\udc55You can wear Viking inspired clothing \ud83d\udc40<\/p>

Modern Paganism has seen significant growth in the last century, coinciding with a decline in traditional Christianity and increased interest in diverse cultures and spiritualities.<\/p>
\u00c1satr\u00fa, also known as Norse Heathenism, is a modern Pagan religion that seeks to revive and practice the pre-Christian beliefs and practices of the ancient Germanic peoples, particularly those of Scandinavia. It is a polytheistic religion that centres on the worship of the Norse gods, such as Odin, Thor, Freya, and others, as well as giants, spirits, and ancestors. This is what I am studying and finding my own comfort in. <\/p>
What about dying in battle? How do I get to Valhalla?<\/p>
In modern Heathenry, the concept of Valhalla is often viewed with less emphasis on literal battle, with some seeing it as a metaphor for a life lived bravely and ethically. Hel is also seen as a more neutral place of rest for the majority of people. <\/p>
