Because the Viking belief system was reflected in these tales about their Gods and historical figures, learning about the Gods and heroes in this way allows the listener to understand who the Vikings were and why they were. The world of Norse myth was very different from our own. The people at the heart of Norse civilization - living in modern-day Scandinavia, Northern Germany, as well as other areas of Norse settlement like Iceland and the British Isles - these people were part of a culture so far removed from how we think and perceive today as to be almost unrecognizable.

Quantum Psychology
Summary
Have you ever felt that there is something about the way we experience reality that doesn’t fit? What if I told you that the way we perceive time, space, and profound interpersonal connections is misleading and incomplete? The argument is backed by the discoveries from sciences and theories as broad as quantum physics, positive psychology, reiki, meditation, biocentrism, etc. Through quantum psychology, we unravel ever-relevant existential questions such as the extension of our consciousness, profound interpersonal connection, the meaning and limits of life, the origin of the universe, time travel, or what happens after we perish, among others. Quantum Psychology holistically approaches challenges and basic conceptions about the way reality reveals itself that we take for granted, re-thinking them from a new prism. It questions the very same foundations of our existence and what "being" truly encompasses. This is a journey to interpret our reality and your role in its unfolding as never imagined before. You might love it or disagree with it, but you will not be left indifferent. The place is here, and the moment is now, but the concepts of time and space can be elusive, as we will learn...
