During the Middle Ages, the Viking were the most infamous
and feared barbarians in Europe. They were identified with fast longboats. They
occupied areas of Scandinavia, Greenland, Iceland and other parts of northern
Atlantic. They even said to have reached as far as the Americas. With their
broad axe, they’re known as blood thirsty warriors towards their enemies and
prisoners. They also have their own Gods, with Thor being the most popular but
the most powerful being Odin, the god of the gods in Norse mythology. A particular
ritual that gained attention of many was the human sacrifice towards Odin,
known as the blood eagle ritual.
