Vanaheim Vibes

In this episode, I give a brief talk about the homework and what's expected of us as Heathens.

In this episode, me and a friend of mine, Sarenth Odinsson of the podcasts Around Grandfather Fire and 3 Pagans on Tap! We get into discussing materialism, the natural world, and combs. The last one might not sound like much, but, we get into why you should be more attached to your stuff.You can find more of their stuff at their Patreon!

This week, in lieu of a Talking Wyrd episode, I have a special interview with Siri Vincent Plouff of the awesome Heathen's Journey podcast to talk about their newest book, Queering the Runes! We talk about the journey through life, family of origin and getting specific with some of the runes and how we can find queer power in them. Apologies for the weak audio up front from my end for the first fifteen minutes or so, new setup, trying to dial things in.

Starting this week, this podcast is going to be weekly! The first and third weeks will usually be interviews, with alternating weeks being Talking Wyrd, inspired by Buddhist dharma talks. This week, we’ve got Gregor and Nicole from the Three Flames Kindred. We talk about the Vanir, being queer in this space, and did Mimir deserve it? Find out this week on Vanaheim Vibes!

This month I have a special talk with an elder in our path! Hilary Ayer, a seidkona and Freyaswoman of many years experience comes to us. She shares wisdom of finding herself in heathenry, age and what the next generation can learn.

This month I've got TikToker LexiconDisgr4ced in to talk about generational heathenry, becoming your own person, and Freya!

For the month of August, I’ve got composer and Odinsman Jai Mohan on the program! We talk about Odin and Odr, the relationship between Odin and Freya, his relationship with Freya and more! This was recorded live at Northeast Thing. Shout out to them for being real cool with me bringing podcasting gear into the event. I tried to clean up as much of the noise as possible, but I’m new to this. Apologies for the short run time of this episode, the background noise was keeping me from concentrating. Jai has been invited back for a more full and thorough interview.You can find Jai Mohan’s work on his Bandcamp!

Here it is! The opening audio composed by friend of the show, Jai Mohan!You can buy the full version of this track on his Bandcamp!

This month, me and my gothi Rob Schreiwer talk Frouwa, the German cognate of Freya. In this conversation, go into Rob's past and what brought him to start Urglaawe and work with Frouwa. We get into it about feminism, Freya as the ultimate boss lady, and a brush with celebrity. Don't know how to pronounce Urglaawe or Frouwa? Listen in and find out!UrglaaweFrouwaFrouwa's Prayer

This month's discussion is with Piper Perry, newly appointed member of the board of the Troth. They come to us to speak about Freya, environmentalism, growing up in Colorado and listen to me have a massive brainfart.
