SVEND-ERIK ENGH

I tell Viking stories, Norse myths and Scandinavian folktales and legends. I was born and raised in Denmark with a Norwegian mother, so these stories are in my blood and bones. But I have a passion for all good stories and have collected many on my world travels over the years. I have tales from Namibia where I worked in the 90s, China where I travelled to in the 80s, as well as many other stories from global traditions. Now that Scotland is my home, I have become deeply inspired by the Scottish history and traditions, in particular its relationship to the Vikings, so I've found and created many tales that share the history of Vikings in Scotland... I give storytelling workshops in schools, community centres, and private events which often include Viking games as well as Viking stories and myths of the Norse Gods.
