Horns? We don't need no stinkin' horns Long before Marvel and the fat lady singing, there were Northmen who went Viking. They carried axes and swords, worshipped gods such as Odin, Freyja, Thor, and Tyr, and they didn't have horns on their helmets. Check out some of the most imaginative stories by authors such as Erin Lale, L.J. Bonham, Tyree Kimber, Cynthia Ward, Tony Thorne MBE, Hugh B. Long. Gerri Leen, among others. Sharpen your axes and jump in your longboats, because there are no horns on these helmets
