[edit] help

anywho ppl anyone one have info on the viking ceremonies? help

they liked to march with torches, with brass bands playing Wagner's Valkyrie. Apart from that, depictions on Scandinavian image stones and Vendel helmet decorations are your best bet. dab (ᛏ) 09:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Just the usual - sacrifice the odd virgin at the summer equinox, unnatural acts with rabbits, that sort of thing. PiCo 05:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Near East

I'm sure I've seen depictions of horned helmets in Middle Eastern reliefs of soldiers from Egypt and Mesopotamia. If I can remind myself from a dirtworld book a section could be added to the article - cue conspiracy theories. Stevebritgimp (talk) 13:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carnute

Wasn't there a Celtic tribe that heavily worshipped Cernaunos called the Carnute, something about, the horned ones? Wouldn't that be relevent to mention. Also, if the einherjar were reputed to wear horned helmets, wouldn't it be simple to find a reliable source in some history or religious book? Put it back when you find the sources.
