Quotes
"Jormungandr is the world serpent of Norse mythology. After its birth it became so large as to eventually encircle the world with its tail in its mouth. This figure was not only chosen as our symbol, but we have also taken on its name. It is how we are represented to the world, and, more importantly, an ever present symbol to ourselves of who we are. Right now we are small, new, and relatively unskilled, but we will grow; not just in size, but in skill and accomplishment. It reminds us to keep open minds, learn and master new things, and expand ourselves towards our potential." -Taðkr ormstunga, goði
