 Episode 31 - Thor, a discussion with Rick Oberg | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 34:28

We continue our discussions about the gods with this episode focusing on Thor. We invited Rick Oberg of our kindred (Raven Kindred North) and the AFA to talk to us about his patron. Rick covers alot of ground. He talks about his relationship to the gods in general, Thor in particular, inspiration, gift giving (and requesting) among many things. We found his stories about his personal relationship with Thor quite moving. We are sure you will too! We also plug our fellow Heathen 'casters: paganspiritualitytoday.podbean.com thetroth.podbean.com runestone.org/video/index.html Vinterulf on YoutubeDownload Standard Podcasts

 Episode 28 - Frey, a discussion with Ann Sheffield | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 40:19

This month Dave and I are going to kick off a group of interviews that will focus on a specific god or goddess. Ann Sheffield was very gracious to join us to speak about her research on Frey. Ann is a long standing member of the Northeast US Asatru community and well known for her detailed scholarship. She wrote a book about her research on Frey called "Frey, God of the World". Our discussion focuses on how Frey is much more than a fertility god. Ann references Viga-Glum's Saga, Heimskringla, and Skirnismal as starting points for her research as well as the website http://www.heimskringla.no/enindex.php. We hope you find this interview as enlightening as we did! See you next month and Merry Yule!!!!Download Standard Podcasts

 Episode 27 - Kveldulf Gundarsson | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 73:21

This month we are proud to have as our guest interviewee Kveldulf Gundarsson. We had a great time chatting with him about so many things that even edited this episode runs over an hour! This is, of course,in no way an attempt to make up for the lateness of this episode. You can take a look at the many literary works, both fiction and non fiction on Amazon here and here as well as find some of his crafts on his wife's website Viking Lady Traders. Dave and and I hope that you enjoy listening to Kveldulf expound on all things Asatru as much as we did. Download Standard Podcasts
