Where the brain is without dread
what's more, the head is held high;
Where information is free;
Where the world has not been separated into parts by thin local dividers;
Where words turn out from the profundity of truth;
Where enthusiastic endeavoring extends its arms towards flawlessness;
Where the unmistakable stream of reason has not lost its way into the horrid desert sand of dead propensity;
Where the brain is driven forward by thee into regularly extending idea and activity
Into that paradise of opportunity, my Father, let my nation conscious.

GODs of the North is about the folklore of the Vikings, Angels, Saxons and Jutes and how it has molded societies, dialects and later religions. The creator Brian Branston states that a legend resembles a fantasy; an immediate articulation of the oblivious personality, and the occasions of a legend, its characters and images are to humankind as the occasions, characters and images of his fantasy are to the person. Like a fantasy the legend may overlook the customary rationale of reality connections, of occasions tailing in a steady progression in a causal arrangement. In any case, a fantasy has a significance which can be made plain; thus has a legend. It is difficult to decipher the fantasies of our own way of life, for our close progenitors those of a thousand odd years prior were influenced to overlook them or to consign their messed up remainders to the nursery. The Gods of the North were sometime in the distant past the divine forces of our progenitors. The fossilized survives from these gods make due set up names for example, as Wansdyke, Wednesbury, Wensley, Tuesley and Thundersley; in the names of the times of the week, as Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; in old stories and fantasy with their accounts of witches on broomsticks.
