Viking.
I'm fanatical about movies: African, European, Viking, Roman. I got into witchcraft and magic from watching 'Bewitched' and 'The Wizard of Oz,' which shows in some of my outfits. I dress to reflect the whole spectrum of the universe.
The Vikings colonized Britain, and a lot of our modern day towns are named after Viking names that settled these big towns.

It was an incredibly sophisticated, complex and layered culture. They had their own laws, many of which protected women.
As a kid, all I wanted to do was be in a Viking film.

While there are few records of Viking women participating in battle, they certainly held positions of high status in society as human sorceresses known as 'volvas.'
The spread of Viking bling is a good indication of the spread of its culture.
