Michigan Viking Alliance: Your Michigan connection to Viking history

MVA Ulfgard Tribe

Meet the High Council-

The High Council serves as the guiding force of the Tribe, shaping our long-term vision while keeping our traditions sharp and authentic. It approves major events and demonstrations, oversees training and safety, and ensures our portrayals stay true to Viking history. The Council also supports new members, resolves disputes, and keeps the group united as we bring our shared saga to life.

We remember Hoogin, the white collared/brown African Raven, companion and symbol of watchfulness and wisdom. Since 2019, he allowed the Michigan Viking Alliance to call him friend, a sometimes-quiet presence bound to our gatherings and our shared path. Daphne Longstocking of the Washing Well Wenches was his trusted guardian and companion. Hoogin carried more than just feathers, he carried our spirit, loyalty, and the old stories that remind us why we gather as kin.

Lost to us in December of 2025, in Texas. Hoogins flight has not ended, only changed. He now fly's on higher winds, where ravens keep watch beyond our realm. May his memory remain among us, circling our halls, and camps. Reminding us that no bond of heart or hearth are ever truly lost.
