Falconry is thus reinterpreted in light of an inherited prehistoric human-animal relationship in Scandinavia, in addition to a reconstructed Viking Age cosmology. The multidisciplinary approach of this paper permits us to suggest that falconry was shaped by the culture already in place around 500 AD and that, in turn, it influenced its subsequent development into the Viking Age. The unique relationship between a falconer and a bird of prey may have been the inspiration to the development of the avian hybridity motif of Scandinavian animal art. It may also be likened to the numerous Norse concepts of animalistic souls and shamanistic shape shifting, such as the myths have preserved in memorab...

origin sometime in the course of the 6th century AD, this paper suggests that the practice
may have harboured cognitive and spirituals dimensions unshared by the rest of the feudal,
Christian European kingdoms. Falconry is thus reinterpreted in light of an inherited
prehistoric human-animal relationship in Scandinavia, in addition to a reconstructed Viking
Age cosmology. The multidisciplinary approach of this paper permits us to suggest that
falconry was shaped by the culture already in place around 500 AD and that, in turn, it
influenced its subsequent development into the Viking Age. The unique relationship
between a falconer and a bird of prey may have been the inspiration to the development of
the avian hybridity motif of Scandinavian animal art. It may also be likened to the
numerous Norse concepts of animalistic souls and shamanistic shape shifting, such as the
myths have preserved in memorable images and situations.
