I am interested in the BERSERKR legend. The myth that Vikingr used to drink
fly agaric mushroom juice and would go berserk and attack their own soldiers
and/or the soldiers of the enemy. They would ransack, burn, steal, loot, rape,
etc. etc. It is interesting. I think there were real Vikingr in the Abo
Archipelago, in the Rosala/Hitis islands HUNDREDS of years ago, before they
became Christianised. I bought a rune ring from them, it reads RODEBORG on it,
it looks like RODIBORY when written in runes. I have misplaced the ring, and I
have misplaced the other ring my little brother bought, he doesn't want it.
Hmm... So I wonder if there have been any berserkr in the Finnish archipelago
ever? Did they find mushrooms there, did they drink mead? Who knows? I want to
ask that Paula Wilson woman. She says there are Gothic loanwords in our
Finnish language and that we are an East Germanic race of people. The
Finn-Swedes, even they are rightwing liberals, they still talk about Aryans
and consider the Germanic race superior to other races. Hmm. Interesting group
of people, those Archipelago Swedes etc. But you know, usually they just row
boats there, fish there, they talk Swedish and Finnish and they work, work and
work. They don't cause any trouble to anybody. They might drink a lot of
alcohol on the Juhannus Midsummer night, it is Ukko's day. I wonder if it is
Odin's day too, they have a juhannussalko, a pole with ornaments on it, in the
countryside. And they sing in Swedish and the children dance around the pole,
it is very much like a Christmas tree. I think that must be some funny Nordic
Swedish culture. Sounds strange to me. Us Finns, we burn the juhannuskokko,
the Midsummer Night Fire. We drink alcohol and we used to have a lot of magic
on Ukko day (The Sky God Ukko), magic to get married etc. But you know... I am
NOT looking forward to getting married and I do NOT want children. So... But I
still like women, I like women the age of 21-35.
