Daily Kos: Ancient England - Wayland's Smithy Wayland was a Scandinavian god. According to the local Christian tradition, after the people became Christians he was forced to shoe horses for a living. One of his greatest achievements was the shoeing of the White Horse—a geoglyph on a nearby Uffington, England hillside. Archaeologically, however, Wayland's Smithy is an ancient mortuary site.
