8 JAN 2025 · If there's one thing that Nordic myth is known for, it is violence. Nordic groups are often depicted in pop culture and beyond as an inherently violent, warlike society. But how true was this and what does this mean for modern Heathens and Nordic spiritualists? Join your host for a deep dive into the violence of myth, saga, and history.

25 DEC 2024 · Hey everyone I hope you enjoy my first ever Patrons-only episode! This episode is the first of my modern myths, stories where I bring Nordic myth into the present and more recent past. I also, in the spirit of the Yuletide, am releasing this episode to the public while Patrons will enjoy a little early access and the ad-free experience.
This modern myth is a story of the Wild Hunt, set in 1880s California, where greed, hospitality, and history collide on Central Valley ranchland. Enjoy!
