The Midgard Expedition

Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 4 customer ratings
(4 customer reviews)

$9.99 – $39.99

The reader is taken on a journey, from the Heyerdahl Boatyard, in the oldest mountains on earth, on a Viking Ship, across southern Africa, down to the Indian Ocean and around the Cape of Storms. You experience the journey as a crew member. The author transports the reader into the tribal ceremonies and you emerge smelling of smoke, drenched with sweat, and having learned a tribal dialect. You track the rhinoceros, swim with the dolphins, make eye contact with whales and giant stingrays. The reader is immersed in the wilds and oceans of Africa, rides the Viking ship with the Dragons reins in your hands, the large Viking sail billowing out before you. You will duck as the bullets fly overhead and feel seasickness. You emerge having inhabited this privileged space, met people you did not know existed outside of fiction, overcome their challenges, and learned lessons in sustainable living, integral thinking, and leadership for our day. You don’t just read this book, you experience being a Viking crew member, being groomed toward your highest potential in this epic tale of the conquest and discovery of your true Self, the attainment of deeper identity with all living things, the regeneration of living systems and the adventure of a lifetime.

    Here is raw footage from the expedition itself, through my eye, the Boatswain, Boatbuilder’s Mate. In Love with this boat and The Voyage. When you watch it, you will be inside the experiences of this book. As snapshots, short stages. The book takes you on a whirlwind of vignettes, reflections, considerations and history, structures, and vectors, real life and revery… Many facets all at once, in many voices, future and past. Similar to the experience of sailing her, The Viking Herron. I am her Mistress, the Halsman, the Boatswain, She who dwells before the mast. She who has no station but the function of the boat moving through water. “Intuitive Sailing” – it is not for everyone. The Voyage can only be told be each one who was making it. Enjoy the book, if you like, wash it down with the juice of the little film.

    Anton Cherkasov-Nisman – 29th Mar 2021

    This book has contained much more than the story of the construction of a Viking ship and sailing around Cape of Storms. Bjorn frankly shares various episodes of his life, explains in detail his view on current state of our civilization which once preferred the anthropocentric development over natural evolution in the wilds. It is important that the author didn’t launch into lengthy discussions with the risk to end up being scholastic, but offered clear plans for overcoming the ecological crisis on a planetary scale. Many chapters address the psychology of leadership, the ability to look at problems from different points and the ability to change one’s life and the world around us.
    Someone may find this book overly didactic, and the proposed solutions are uncompromising and bordering on utopia, but the more you know the author through his story, the better you understand that he does not intend to trifle with the reader and beat around the bush. Straightforwardness is one of the main advantages of this book written outside of the genre framework and the truth revealed by author hits the nail right on the head.
    While reading this book I have made at least three dozen of bookmarks and for sure I would return to them and reread corresponding chapters more than once.
    Bear in mind that this is not an adventure novel, but in many ways philosophical work, so do not expect easy entertaining reading. You will need to work, but the efforts spent will be rewarded in full.
