It's all here!* I recommend watching the accompanying video as oppose to just listening, as I have included helpful details and visuals to bring the conversation to life *💎 BONUS!

  (S4E10) ⚡️ WORSHIP THE OLD GODS: Nordic Paganism (with Fiona Aedgar) 23.01.2026 29m

  Something different! The show has talked a great deal about deity and ancestral veneration in the past tense, with the aim of understanding it within a historical context.

So... with the intention to banish some winter blues, enjoy this warming chat with Fiona Aedgar on the old gods and the ancestors.Who are the old gods?How do we approach them?How does an ancestral practice in general fit into this?What about the ancestors we DON'T want to connect with? 🚫And most importantly...
