@norsequest: 🍄 Did Vikings Take Plants Before Battle? The legendary berserkers were said to enter a wild, trance-like state before combat becoming fearless and ferocious. Some theories suggest they may have used psychoactive plants or mushrooms, but there is no solid evidence proving this. What caused the berserker state remains one of the Viking Age's enduring mysteries. Myth, ritual, or something else entirely? ⚔️ #History #vikings #viking #berserkers #norsemythology 📹 IG: historicaldoodle
