Who are Thor and Ragnarok in Norse Mythology?

How did the Vikings fuse their own spiritual beliefs with Christianity?

And how do Norse spiritual practices continue in some ways today through Scandinavian indigenous cultures?

In Episode 6 of this series, Anita Anand and William Dalrymple are joined by Dr Eleanor Barraclough, author of Embers of the Hand, to discuss the sunset of this era, and how Vikings infused Christianity into their own spiritual practices.
