Just read a book called The Thrall's Tale by Judith Lindbergh. It's historical fiction based on the Greenland sagas, and told partly from the POV of the spaekona mentioned therein. It's historically well researched, and the descriptions of rituals and spells are very interesting.

For the Yule was upon them, the Yule; and they quaffed from the skulls of the slain,
And shouted loud oaths in hoarse wit, and long quaffing swore laughing again.
