Ice Hotels [ Robert Broad Travel ] - Ice Hotel in Sweden - Jukkasjarvi
Jukkasjarvi is located 200km north of the Arctic Circle, in the heart of Swedish Lapland, a region inhabited by
the Sami. The village has a Lapp museum and picturesque church. There isn't much else apart from an
excellent rustic restaurant, so evenings are usually spent around the Ice Hotel resort but, after a day filled with outdoor activities, you probably won't want to stray too far anyway!
Over 3,000 tons of ice and 30,000 cubic metres of snow are used to construct the Ice Hotel.

Cuisine - Swedish food and recipes
in its traditional form swedish cuisine is rather heavy and rich in fat. Due to long winters, the ability to store
food for a long time was important, which explains the lack of fresh vegetables in many traditional recipes.
Various turnips were common in older cooking, but these were largely supplanted by the potato when it was
introduced in the 18th century. Fish and meat play a prominent role in any traditional Swedish dish. See ...

Exploring the Northern Tradition: A Guide to the Gods, Lore, Rites, and Celebrations from the Norse, German, and Anglo-Saxon Traditions
Swain Wodening (Foreword), Galina Krasskova
Exploring The Northern Tradition is an introduction to the modern reconstruction of the ancient religion of the
Germanic and Scandinavian peoples. This religion, called Heathenry, is one of the fastest growing polytheistic
religious movements in the Western world today. This book provides a thorough guide to the cosmology,
values, ethics and rituals practiced by modern Heathens. It crosses denominational lines, examining practices
common to all branches of Heathenry in an easily accessible format. Readers will have the opportunity to
explore the sacred stories of the various Heathen Gods, like Odin, Frigga, Freya and Thor and the devotional
practices of modern votaries. The most common devotional rite - the faining or biot - is examined in rich detail,
with examples given for personal use. Every new concept covered is presented in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. Readers will come away from this book with a thorough knowledge of what the
Heathen community is like and what newcomers to that community can expect. Experienced Heathens will
find a wealth of lore and inter-denominational critique that will make this book an excellent addition to their libraries.
