Course Syllabus: Religion and Mythology in the Viking Age
Course syllabus
This is the syllabus for a course on pre-Christian religion/s in the Viking Age, which I taught in the spring of 2014. It was part of a two-semester 'valgfag' programme at Aarhus University titled "Viking Studies", so the students (drawn from a range of academic backgrounds) were expected to have at least a passing familiarity with Late-Iron-Age culture and history.

Placename - Carbost
Toponymy
Carbost (Gaelic: Càrrabost) at Loch Harport is the home of the Talisker distillery, but more importantly is a Norse place name on the Isle of Skye. The name is thought to mean Brushwood Farm or Copse Farm from ON kjarr 'copse, brushwood, fen or marsh' and bólstaðr 'farm'.
