Today I sit down with Mathias Nordvig, professor of Viking studies and Nordic culture at the University of Colorado at Boulder. We have a lengthy chat about the various literary and archeological information that has been discovered about Nordic pagans, and try to parse through the challenge of if -- and how -- such knowledge can be applied to a living pagan religiosity today.
Much of Nordvig's work (including his own "Sacred Flame" podcast) can be found on his website: https://mathiasnordvig.com/
Nordvig also published a recent book relevant to our discussion, "Asatru for Beginners: A Modern Heathen's Guide to the Ancient Northern Way" https://www.amazon.com/dp/1647397634/
Leave a rating and review, it really helps others to find the podcast.
