Agreed, my understanding is that viking "age" grew gradually during and after the decline of Roman Empire, and in fact a lot of the raiding happened 'cause the Roman "authorities" were lapsed/gone.

"Industrialized prison system" in no way similar to viking slaves at all, but you keep spouting ignorant stuff...

If you believe it works...it DOES work ? You go and pay 12 silver coins to the "sorceress" lady puts a curse on your romantic rival...and you get the girl, however that happens, then didn't the curse work ?
If you don't get the girl, get a refund, right ? Fair is fair.

I had little knowledge of Viking culture / Kings / Empires. Did not realize HUGE numbers of slaves, just like roman empire.

In their world, magic worked, and worked well...no fighter would DREAM of going into battle without at least a few charms and spells to bring victory.

Been reading a history of the Vikings. Did not know a huge amount of their wealth was slaves. And they believed fervently in magic, the best women were sorceresses.
