Professor Emeritus Terry Gunnell (University of Iceland) dives into masks, mumming, deception, and power—from Old Norse religion and ritual performance to horned figures, the Sutton Hoo helmet, Viking-age halls, and the eerie mix of laughter and fear. Expect vivid examples from archaeology, folklore, and modern politics, plus why masks can build community—or enable violence. Old Norse mythology, Viking ritual, Scandinavian folklore, performance studies.
