Vikings in Sop's ArmVinland Discovery Group
We are an independent group of individuals seeking to inform others about the 11th Century Norse settlement site in Sop’s Arm, NL.
We seek to present information about this site based on numerous discoveries and professional visits made to the area. By informing the general public, archeologists and governments around the world, we hope to demonstrate that Sop’s Arm and surrounding area is an important historical site.
About our logo:
The symbol is a bind-rune, which means that it is formed from two runes that are merged together. Runes are the ancient Norse letters that, according to mythology, Odin discovered and gave to gods and humans. Runes have been used for over a thousand years (and maybe longer). They were letters (used to spell things) and symbols (each symbol stood for a specific word or concept). Our symbol consists of the letters "S" and "A" for Sop's Arm, but also hold the following meaning (which seemed fitting for our hopes for this project):
Name: Sowilo, “sun.” Phoneme: S. Meaning: success, solace.
Name: Ansuz, “an Aesir god.” Phoneme: A (long and/or short). Meaning: prosperity, vitality.
