Berserkers were real, and may have taken mushrooms to get into that state. They were also rare and considered outcasts. It's like taking the agressive homeless guy to battle, he does some shrooms, gets naked and goes off to fight. I am surprised this hasn't happened already in Florida.

There is no evidence that the blood eagle was ever performed, it is mentioned in one of the Viking Volsung sagas, that's all.

Vikings also had Christians in their ranks. Tons of them. Some viking grave goods involve jewellery with islamic art on it, so we don't know if they actually believed in Islam, or just bought said pieces, or looted set pieces. They were at least aware of Islam having fought muslims.
