The spectral #Norse mythic 'Ship of the Gods' - Skidbladnir - as a light projection and laser artwork by artists Heinrich & Palmer. We saw it as part of LightUpLancaster Festival. Ethereal+unnerving+marvellous!I especially appreciated glimpses of landscape , and the way the ship adapts as it moves through space and time. The work really gave an impression of an ancient, time-spanning entity. #myth #maritime #bluehumanities #norse

A book-glee-toot! I love Michelle Paver's Arctic ghost novel DARK MATTER. Genuinely chilling and (without giving away spoilers), amazing use of Norwegian myth and a fierce, justified indictment of extractivist, commercial violence. Also haunting evocation of winter darkness #booktodon litodon #Arctic #ghost #gothic #gothic #extraction
