    • Talking to a Dane it’s a good idea to know where he/she is from in the country. As people from Jutland has the custom to make understatements or under act what they tell you as well as some from Copenhagen are more prone to exaggeration.

    • Fossilized sea urchins named thunderstones was in the old days believed to origin from lightning. Lightning arising from the wheels of Thors chariot when he was riding across the road in the sky. The thunderstones was carried as amulets in the believe that it was a used lightning and as lightning was assumed not to be able to strike twice you would be protected against the wrath of the Gods.

    If you see one walking around with a amulets like this there is a good chance that this person is a believer of the old Nordic Gods.
