From the publisher

The Northern Traditions Podcast is the official podcast of The Wisdom of Odin YouTube Channel. This podcast is meant to be a lighter take on the often heavy subject of Paganism, all while still discussing topics that we believe can help you on your own personal journey. We occasionally bring on guest to interview about their personal experiences, or what they are up to in the larger pagan community. Conversations meant for every level of practitioner.

Ep 106Nordic Witchcraft? As a Modern Thriller Film... Can it be done? | Interview with the Director/Writer

Matt Bailey and Robin Rose Singer are credited film makers looking to bring Nordic Witchcraft (Seidr/Völva) into a modern thriller film. This will be no easy task, so I sit down with them to ask questions on how they are maintaining the historical accuracy with the need for modern entertainment in the ever changing media of Norse Mythology.
