  • Thank you Mathias for this podcast. It has grounded my journey through paganism in ways I did not expect. I value your insights and interpretations for how modern heathens can apply the concepts we know from ancient times in non problematic ways.

  • Excellent

    As a heathen, it’s hard to find good quality information and podcasts that don’t feel bloated with junk or associated with bigots. This podcast is not that, this is one of those podcasts when a notification of a new episode drops, I will stop what I’m doing and listen.

    Stunning. Scholarly and profound: history, language and sociology without ever overshadowing the mystery. Matthias Nordvig, ‘retelling and reconnecting the Nordic story-world with our current reality.’

  • Deeply thoughtful

    I really enjoy seeing how an ancient text or idea can be extrapolated out to a very relevant current topic without rushing to the “punchline”. I’m not always sure where the journey is going, but I’m often pleasantly surprised as it comes around full circle. A welcome change from the shallow thought that is so prevalent these days. Thank you!
