Vikings are the New Pirates

... but pirates are still pretty bad-ass. For proof, check out my Anne Bonny necklace, named for the baddest bitch to sail the seven seas.





However, I grudgingly admit that Jack Sparrow and his ilk must move over and make room for fearsome Norse warriors. I think Led Zeppelin summed it up best:



"We come from the land of the ice and snow,



From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.



The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,



To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming! "



You can really get into the spirit with a hand-forged Thor's Hammer necklace from WhiteHartForge. Smashingly authentic.



If you're willing to shell out the big bucks, you can rock out in true Viking style in a ceremonial Viking helm from TomBanwell. You can find more information on his off-Etsy website.






For your more delicate Viking side, Excely has a beautiful Viking ship necklace.






Even the kiddies can get in on the action with one of Blennox's Viking finger puppets or a Viking backpack from HerzensArt.






And if you want to display your Viking pride on your walls, check out this fantastic Viking ship print from DeLaRenaissance.





More pictures coming soon!
