Eirik Storesund (b. 1988)

I am a US based Old Norse philologist, writer, and artist from the salt drenched coasts of Rogaland, Southwest Norway.

Besides my iconoclastic conquest to further the discourse on Scandinavian and Old Norse myth and culture, my work tends to revolve around the numinous and burlesque intersections of perceived contrasts: Tradition and modernity, the real and the imaginary, culture and nature, philia and phobia all feature heavily in my writing. Inspired by the mindset and myths of archaic societies, I believe they are integral to making sense of the human condition: For the future there must be a past.


Working as a specialist and consultant for an eclectic array of media, my work has contributed to the success and critical satisfaction in everything from from community driven heritage projects, historical societies, and independent journals, to Fortune 500 companies.
