I’m fascinated by Norse culture, norms, and apparel (especially apparel, which makes sense, since I have a BFA in fashion that I don’t use at all). I have Icelandic galdrastaffir that date to about the late 1700s/early 1800s that people sometimes mistake as being associated with vikings and white supremacy; they’re actually symbols for a form of low magic that was largely suppressed by the Lutherans. (The viking age ended about 700 years before the first recorded instances of these galdrastaffir; they are absolutely not viking.)

Variety is the spice of life. You just have to stir in some other cultures from time to time.

I’ll be honest, NCD regularly sets off “wait, is this pro-military propaganda?” alarm bells for me
