Nordic Mythology Podcast Folgen

This weeks guest needs no introduction. It's Einar Selvik the front man of the amazing Wardruna! He's fresh off of working on the music for the upcoming Assassins Creed Valhalla and was kind enough to sit down with Mathias and Daniel to discuss the experience, as well as Wardrunas upcoming album. But that's just the jumping off point. From there the discussion will range into general artistic attitudes and the creative process, his surprise voice over cameo in Assassins Creed, and the positives and negatives of Ubisofts interpretation of the Viking material. The answers will be as complicated as they are entertaining. Also, we have to apologize again for the audio quality Einar had some building going on in the background and we did our best but it is a problem. Frankly we were just excited to have him. That's it for this week!

 This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Jason Ralls to talk about his heathen spiritual practice and recent book of poetry The Oath: A Heathen Poets Journey. The Oath chronicles the transpositional  journey of the poet as he travels through the planes, meeting with gods, and even going through the underworld. But of course that isn't all we'll be discussing this week. Other topics also include: magic mushrooms and other hallucinogens' and their effect on spiritual practice, the Ättestupa or did grandpa really have to jump off a cliff for the good of the village, and in impromptu positive review of the movie Midsommar. How did we get all of that into one episode? Well, it's complicated.Also we know the audio on this weeks episode is a little spotty. Unfortunately some of our files didn't upload properly so we had to get ones from our backup which just isn't as good. We are looking into a long term fix but in the meantime please bear with us.

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Jeanette Verberg an archeologist and curator for the National Museum of Denmark where she is responsible for the Bronze and Viking Age; think Indiana Jones but one who only cared about Viking prehistory and didn't destroy the dig site half the time.Together they will be discussing her experiences on archeological expeditions as well as her extensive writing, both academic and historic non-fiction about the Viking Age. Unfortunately unless you read Danish you probably won't get much out of her books as they have not been translated into English. However, if you would like to read her academic papers including her most recent one:  Where Have All The Young Girls Gone? which discusses the curious absence of women in Bronze Age Swedish rock carvings, as well as the possibility that perhaps they have actually been there all along... then you should check out her National Museum Page.  Personally I would recommend the one on the distribution of Mesopotamian Glass, which is a fascinating topic she talks about in the beginning of the episode.
