1⃣ Es posible que os baile la cronología vikinga. Tradicionalmente se usan como inicio y final del periodo dos fechas:
793-Saqueo del monasterio de Lindisfarne (Inglaterra)
1066-Derrota de Harold el Despiadado en la batalla de Stamford
Por tanto, se ubican entre los s.VIII y XI

2⃣ No constituyeron un estado unificado, sino que les unían la lengua (noruego antiguo), la cultura y las creencias religiosas. Suele hablarse de #vikingos daneses, suecos y noruegos, según su ubicación original.
“Turn their gaze away from Him & toward themselves. Keep them watching their own minds & trying to produce *feelings* there by the action of their own wills...” —(The demon Screwtape on how to misdirect a person’s prayers) C.S. Lewis
“When they meant to ask Him for charity, let them instead start trying to manufacture charitable feelings for themselves. When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave...” #Lewis #Screwtape
“When they say they are praying for forgiveness, let them be trying to feel forgiven. Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by their success in producing the desired feeling...” #Lewis #Screwtape

[Thread] I’ve done a quick bit of research on #Starmer’s funders using the .@SocialistVoice link to the Parliamentary Register of Members’ Interests. The total amount donated was £470,900. The largest donors were: Waheed Alli (Baron Alli of Norbury) £100,000; Martin Taylor (Hedge
Fund Manager) £95,000; Trevor Chinn (Businessman, Philanthropist, political activist) £50,000; Clive Hollick (Baron Hollick of Notting Hill) £25,000; Peter Coates (Fmr Chair of Stoke City FC & Director of Bet 365) £25,000. I’ve dug out some info on each of the above as follows:
“I hope no reader will suppose that ‘mere’ Christianity is here put forward as an alternative to the creeds of existing communions. It is more like a hall out of which doors open into several rooms. If I can bring anyone into that hall I shall have done what I attempted.” #Lewis
“But it is in the rooms, not in the hall, that there are fires and chairs and meals. The hall is a place to wait in, a place from which to try the various doors, not a place to live in. For that purpose the worst of the rooms (whichever it may be) is, I think, preferable.” #Lewis
“Some ppl may find they have to wait in the hall for a considerable time, while others feel certain almost at once which door they must knock at. I do not know why there is this difference, but I am sure God keeps no one waiting unless he sees it is good for him to wait.” #Lewis
