The calendar presents a modern interpretation of ancient Scandinavian timekeeping, featuring 13 months of 28 days each, structured into four weeks. Each day of the week is named after its original Norse deity, such as Moonsday and Thorsday. The months are renamed to honor the Sacred Sagas, and the calendar incorporates significant Viking holidays, including Ragnar Lothbrok Day and Yule, aiming to establish a cultural foundation for the contemporary Viking community.

The Havamal offers timeless wisdom and life advice attributed to the Allfather, presented in both English and a newly developed Vinland Younger Futhark runic alphabet. The author recognized the complexities of translating between English and the traditional Younger Futhark, as one runic character can correspond to multiple English letters. To address this, the Vinland Younger Futhark was created, enhancing the original runes to accurately represent the English language. This unique approach aims to enrich readers' understanding and appreciation of the text.
