File:Hurstwic- The Walking Dead in the Sagas- Zombies of 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 discusses the ghosts and sorcerers who inhabit the world of the Vikings, beings whose presence is still felt into modern times. This belief in zombies and magic sheds a new light on aspects of the ancient northern religion, aspects that continue well into the Christian era and even to today.
