		The Geatish Society, or Götiska förbundet in the Swedish language, was a social club for literature studies among academics in Sweden created by a number of poets and authors in 1811.

		Members of the Geatish Society would occasionally wear horned helmets, which is the source of the myth that Vikings would have worn such helmets.
