Yet at the northern fringes of Europe, Christianity did not displace the original shamanic practices until the end of the Viking age. Remnants of Norse shamanic spirituality have survived in myths, folk traditions and written records from Iceland, provi

Appearing on rural churches, castles, bridges, holy wells, tombs and standing stones, these powerful images of a figure fearlessly displaying her vulva em
