Hei! Vær Hilset! Hello! Hail! I am a Norse Heathen and have grown up in a family tradition following the pre-Christian religion of Scandinavia. My practices are more inclined to traditionalist ideals and could be described as Forn Sed ("Ancient Custom"), Nordisk Sed ("Nordic Custom") or Folketro ("Folk Belief"). In recent years, I have also taken to studying the reconstructionist methods of Åsatro ("Asatru/Ásatrú") which draw most heavily on medieval literature and historical evidence. My Heathenry related interests include traditional Scandinavian martial arts, trolldom and ulvhedner (úlfheðnar) practices. I run the hedendom Tumblr blog. Happy to answer any questions here or through my tumblr. Til års og fred! For years and peace!

What are Scandinavian martial arts like, out of curiosity?

They are the modern day descendants of the old battlefield arts used in the Viking Age and can be seen these days in the arts such as Glíma and the Norse wrestling styles of former Norse colonies.
