Exactly, however it seems that while the Pagans a able to exhibit effective "magic" (very specific visions, specific bone interpretations) the christian priest on the other hand resort to "political advice". and often portrayed as cowardice. what is giving to this trend of writing in modern Medieval shows.

I find one thing interesting in this show and similar like "vikings" It appears that pagan ritual and visions are always portrayed to be more effective than christian beliefs, whiles the "pagans" are able to conjure visions that actually turn out to be accurate, christian divine intervention always seem to be a joke…
