sigyn_haljaYou find a piece of Viking fiction that looks quite good. It's got shieldmaidens. It's got magicians.
Then you discover that the magician are all male - not a völva, not a spækona, not a wife doing simple protection spells with a spindle. And the male magicians and seers aren't even a tiny bit effemminate or even just rumored to be gay. Also, no Finns or Saami shamans in sight.

Huskies are beautiful, on the other hand. I feel like they're one of the most beautiful dog species on earth. <3
