For threading a hair bead or beard bead it is quite useful to sharpen the hair strand a little bit with hair gel or water, so that it can be led more easily through the hole of the bead.

Before threading a beard bead onto the hair, a small gum may be used for very straight hair, which makes it much easier to place the beard bead and keeps the bead securely in place. A real Viking, however, uses rather a small piece of string for this...

The Midgard Serpent is also called World Serpent, because the Midgard Serpent was considered by the Teutons and Vikings to be a sea serpent encompassing the world, which meant the end of the world. According to the legend it was begotten by the Nordic god Loki. In Ragnarök, the end of the world, the god Thor smashes the Midgard Serpent with his hammer before he himself dies of its venom.
