Heathen Hangout Podcast - Episode 1, Community

Hello, hello! Welcome to episode 1 of the Heathen Hangout Podcast, in which I talk to some very cool friends and Heathens about community and what it means to them. Sedge, Sabrina and John are all members of Asatru UK (AUK), and they talk a little about their work throughout this episode as part of that organisation (which I am also a part of).
Community can mean different things to different people.... so what does community mean to you? I am eager to discover ways in which I can help others feel more involved within Heathenry and more connected in their practice - so please, do reach out and let me know!

Welcome to the Heathen Hangout Podcast! Let's do this. New episodes will be released primarily on UA-cam for the time being, on this channel. I do plan on releasing this on audio platforms as well eventually, hopefully in the new year. The goals of the podcast are to be conversational and accessible, open to all 'levels', with pagans of all experiences talking about their, well, experiences and...

Hello, hello! It's been a while! I have a few projects in the works to help restart this channel, so stay tuned! For now, this is a video based on a paper I submitted to Asatru UK's journal: "Heathenry, the International Journal for Heathen Research", which itself was based on a reworked chapter for my upcoming book, Valkyrjur, Servant or Master? (Again, more info will be shared when I'm able t...

#heathens #asatruuk #pagan #valkyrie #heathenry #norsemythology Apologies for the hoarse voice! It was a long weekend, but for anyone that missed it - here's the talk I delivered just prior to the opening ceremony on the Friday! It was an amazing event, but I'm going to sleep for a week now. In other news, I'm not preparing for Thunorsmoot, so I can once again focus my attention on content crea...

#heathen #norseheathen #norsepagan #norsemythology #norsemyth #viking #vikingage #animal Animals are prevalent boundary crossers in early medieval Nordic literature - so let's break down the prominent idea of the wild vs civilisation (and how that ties into realm crossing, travelling, wandering, and all of that). Let's get those brain juices flowing. - References and Further Reading orca.cardif...

#vikings #norsemythology #nordic #norsepagan #norseheathen #heathen Here's a very quick summary on all things multi-part soul - specifically, the Nordic perspective. Consider this a primer if you ever need a rundown of the four parts and their rough 'responsibilities/roles/duties'.

Let's Talk About #yggdrasil

Переглядів 402Рік тому

Yggdrasil is an ever intriguing aspect of nordic mythology, tied as it is to life, the cosmology, the worlds, and many potential afterlives. But, let's look between the lines and see what we can infer from the form of Yggdrasil and how it ties to other supplementary ideas around Nordic beliefs...you know, as I tend to do. What we can say is that trees are crucially important to pre-Christian re...

Hail to Hel, protector, caretaker, guardian.

I've also anonymised it to remove all attendees and things of that nature. References I included in the talk: Bek-Pedersen, Karen. 2011. The Norns in Old Norse Mythology.

Valkyries - Servant or Master?

Переглядів 101Рік тому

Apologies, it's another reupload - but this time, it's a talk I did in September 2022 at a pagan event. Most of this is re-recorded audio as my microphone decided to be awful. In this talk I discuss the Valkyries and their role in the greater Nordic sphere, breaking down the information we have, and the discourse around their position as masters of fate on the battlefield. I do love the Valkyri...

In this video, I posit a few questions to get the brain juices flowing. Namely, from a heathen perspective, is Angrboda evil? Let's break that question down.
