“X-ray scans of the sword revealed outlines of rare inscriptions with a cross pattern and the likely presence of letters on the blade.

#AmWriting a hitherto uncomposed #bisexual, #polyamorous#folktale collected in 1870, in Valle, Aust Agder, in southern #Norway. Nominally AT550 (the golden bird), though the only birds are two crow witches.
This folktale even escaped the attention of Oddbjørg Høgset, the editor of Erotiske folkeeventyr (which forms the foundation of my book from 2017, Erotic Folktales from Norway), because the record lives in a letter to Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, rather than in the folktale notebooks.
A Shining, by Jon Fosse. You drive to the end of a road and hike into a Norwegian forest in winter, where you become lost and may die but your brain meanders casually over many topics until some presences show up which really don’t help much, so your brain keeps thinking random thoughts. 4 of 5 library cats 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈

This adorable picture book is based on the true story of Lars and Astrid Fossberg, a couple from Norway who opened a Ski Resort in Canada. Inspired by Norwegian folklore, the story follows a couple of trolls who travel around to distant lands and find a beautiful mountain to build a house, have a family and realize their dreams.
@atomicpoet I would love this. The other day I was watching the Norway / Philippines game and I searched Norway and found nothing concerning the game, but I know people were probably writing about it. They just weren’t writing “amazing that #norway has three #goals already against #philippines in the #worldcup#womensworldcup#wwc”
