Nástrǫnd (Dead Body Shore), is a place of punishment in Hel and the afterlife for those who have committed heinous crimes, such as murder and oath breaking.
Níðhǫggr also lives here, and is said to be among the serpents that feed on the corpses.

In Norse mythology and paganism, Gungnir ("the swaying one") is the spear of the Norse god Óðinn.
Known for always hitting it's target, it is said that come Ragnarǫk, Odin will ride out with his spear and fight the wolf Fenrir (Fenrisúlfr) with it.

The Galloway Hoard was discovered by detectorist Derek McLennan at Balmaghie, Kirkcudbrightshire, #OTD in 2014. Deposited around AD 900, it is both Scotland’s earliest Viking-Age hoard and the richest ever found in Britain and Ireland. 📸National Museums Scotland
Huginn ("thought"), Muninn ("memory"), are two ravens belonging to the highest god, Óðinn.
These ravens provide Óðinn with information from all across the world, because of this he is also given the name, Hrafnaguð (Old Norse for "Raven-God" - "Hrafn-Guð")

Yggdrasill (ᛁᚴᛏᚱᛅᛋᛁᛚ. Old Norse potentially meaning "Óðinn's Steed"), is the name of the world tree. Yggdrasill is a massive and sacred tree that is said to connect the nine worlds in Norse cosmology.

Blessed Þórsdagr, a day named after the god Þórr, one of the strongest members of the Æsir and keeper of Mjǫllnir.
Þórr once found himself fighting old age, but despite inevitably losing the fight, he had to be brought to his knees before giving up.

Óðinn, the highest god, is often depicted as one-eyed, and seeking knowledge. His wisdom was mostly gained through self-sacrifice and determination, while his ravens Huginn and Muninn provide him with news from all the realms.

Hail to Vár (or Vór), a Norse goddess associated with overseeing oaths, vows, and other private agreements made between couples.
She is good to invoke as a show of trustworthiness, but she may punish the oath-breakers who don't keep their word.

The shield wall (or shield-burgh, Old Norse: Skjaldborg) was a formidable tactic used by various people, from Vikings to Anglo-Saxons. This powerful formation showcased the strength of unity in battle, turning the tide in even the toughest of situations. #History#Medieval
