In this film, i take you on a trip around Sweden's places of power; sacred spaces remaining from the bronze age, iron age and viking times. I travel through central Sweden to show you some of the most fascinating and mysterious archaeological religious sites and, through them, help you to understand a bit more about the ancient religion of the Norse peoples and where you can go in Sweden to see these things for yourself.
