Pretty much any Empire that has existed has utilized slaves, or slave-esque laborers through sharecropping or serfdom.

You didn't know this? Slaves have been a pretty staple thing throughout human history, only until very recently.

Source?

More than that. To use magic of spells, concealment and visions was the domain of women, it was seidr. Men who did that were dishonorable. Male magic was of battle, to embody a warrior spirit like the ulfhednar or to craft enchanted weapons.

If you believe it works...it DOES work ? You go and pay 12 silver coins to the "sorceress" lady puts a curse on your romantic rival...and you get the girl, however that happens, then didn't the curse work ?

If you don't get the girl, get a refund, right ? Fair is fair.

I had little knowledge of Viking culture / Kings / Empires. Did not realize HUGE numbers of slaves, just like roman empire.

Yes, but what was their definition of magic? You have to ask yourself that

Was it all just chants / rituals or was there real world applications. Like what they ate for nutrition or for hallucinations, meditation before battle and training etc. Would love to be a fly on the wall for those times.

Definitely not living in them

Well, I believe in Norway too. And I’m not even an archaeologist.

The slavs got their name because of what they were known for in late antiquity & early middle ages. They were often slaves for realms like the Abbasids and the Franks.

An American here. We go to this farm every year for pumpkins and in the past years there has been this solid thing of quarts or marble slab that was literally just sitting on the side of a barn where the parking lot is and it was full of runes. A very weird thing but it wasnt there this year.

Yeah A huge amount of ancient wealth in general was slaves

For a good time, call Freya.
