Irish monks were famously though strangely comfortable with the persistence of pre-Christian practices in their lands, while Iceland, Norway and Sweden remained resistant to conversion until the 11th century. In this series of lectures, we will look at the evidence for the persistence of pre-Christian beliefs and practices around the North Sea, particularly in Ireland, Scotland, Iceland and Scandinavia. In addition to medieval sources, we will also consider folklore and custom as it persisted into the modern period in order to see what remains of these pre-Christian beliefs and perceptions.
