Hurstwic: Trolls in the Viking Age
One in a series of presentations for the Hurstwic Heathen Study Group, an organization that meets monthly for informal presentations and discussions on topics of interest to heathens and to anyone with a passion for Norse-related topics.
In this presentation, Dr. William R. Short talks about trolls in the Viking age. The word troll is used to describe many different kinds of entities in the sagas and eddas, including the expected supernatural creatures such as giants, as well as witches and more-or-less normal humans. What did it meant to be a troll? What distinguished a troll and other paranormal creatures in the ancient northern society?
