The berserkers worshiped the Norse gods. several Norse gods they worshiped were Odin, Thor, Hel, ect. The gods they worshiped most were Odin and Thor. Odin was worshiped for his wisdom and strategy, Thor for his battle techniques and his strengths.
The vikings relied their food base from animals and livestock that lived on the land. sometimes they would raid a village and they would have food but most often they would just eat whatever they could find. They didn't really farm because they were always so busy on pillaging and killing!
Vikings used many weapons but the most common were shorts swords with a wooden shield or huge dual wielding axes. Many had engravings and pictures upon them sometimes even etching in the name of the weapon on the blade. The battle strategies they used were usually by taking so many drugs that they couldn't be hurt by any oncoming foe. Usually finding some certain mushrooms, poisonous frogs and weeds that when eaten, licked or smoked they could not feel pain even when being stabbed or shot with an arrow. This would truly scare all their enemies away and never want to be fought with. They berserkers also only wore loin clothes and animal hides to show the kills of the tribe and to show how they wore the skins of their fallen foes.
The Norse gods came into play through pictures and writings a lot specifically in poems, war songs and fables. Usually stories of the Norse gods fighting the frost giants or other stories of creation and how the world came to be.
The vikings didn't usually wear lots of jewelry but when they did it was for the elders and wise men/women of the tribe. They didnt pay attention to stones except the more promenent ones like the very blue and green ones like jade and emerald. Other instances were when the viking warriors would have jewelry made to look like weapons and have ingravings on them.

Life as a berserker was pretty simple but hard to maintain. They trained a lot on the best ways to kill that way they could be the most feared group on the land. They start training with real daggers and one handed axes at a very young age of 8. They learned how to shoot a bow at the age of 12.
The clothing again was very simple just mainly with what they pillaged and whatever animal they killed, skinned and turned into a fur coat.
Females played a very similar role to men seeing how they were also trained to be fierce warriors. They would sometimes be used just for taking care of kids and making food but usually they were given the same or better treatment on the battlefield. It also came in handy because other men were scared of killing a woman but just the fact that they weren't noble women and they on occasion were more blood thirsty then the guys the opponents would be more scared of the ladies than the men.
