Light of Divinity
Since the post about Islamic art, architecture and sacred space seems to have been a hit, and for good reason, I decided to include some of the West's finest offerings, that of stained glass murals and geometric designs. I searched around for a good film or documentary on general cathedral design and adornment, but haven't yet found one to my liking. The search will continue, however!

Jesse Byock is one of the big names in Viking age archaeology and history, with numerous books, translations and papers published on the subject in addition to his lecturing at UC Los Angeles. His translation of the Volsung's Saga is one of my favorite books dealing with the literature and lore of the Viking age, and I highly recommend it to all English readers!
Spending too much time on medievalists.net, as I often do, I came across this little video featuring professor Byock and Adam Fish, discussing the iconic Viking long house.
