Have you ever wondered ”What is a Viking?”, ”Were Vikings tattooed?” or ”Did they ever REALLY use the Blood Eagle? If so, then this is the right podcast for YOU.
In this podcast, follow along Daniel Farrand’s (Owner of Horns of Odin) journey as he tries to make sense of the complex history of the Viking Age and Nordic Mythology, through easy to digest, funny, natural (and often very honest) conversations.
Daniel is joined by Co-Host (and in house archaeologist) Margrethe Havgar, as the pair are joined by a host of guests; which include world leading scholars and Viking Age creators, to world renowned musicians and movie stars.
So, if you’ve ever asked ”Were Runes used for magic?” or ”is Thor REALLY the only person who can lift his hammer?”. We’ll definitely have an episode on it
But be prepared to be told, ”It’s Complicated.”

Ep 142 - Songs of Ravens With Benny Bråten
In this week's episode Dan sits down with Benny once more for a deep and meaningful conversation about emotions in music and Benny sings a few songs in Norwegian.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Song 1: A World Of Ruins
I cultivated my defeats
I licked my wounds
Till I understood
That the path is created as we walk
There are no losses
Everything can be a new start
When the night is at its darkest
The morning is coming soon
In a world of ruins
can we build ourselves a castle
By laying stone upon stone
Of what has passed
Of a world in ruins
Can we create something great
We can build something new
Where the old one has stood
I needed a fall
To get up and stand
I needed to stop
To start to walk
I felt crushed
Put the pieces together
The picture is new
In the same frame
In a world of ruins
can we build ourselves a castle
By laying stone upon stone
Of what has passed
Of a world in ruins
Can we create something great
We can build something new
Where the old one has stood
Song 2: I Mirror In The Water
I mirror in the water
Sometimes with a smile
Other times there is more doubt
When my thoughts are dark
Like a winter night
Then it´s hard to stand
Even when I give my best
I can fail with brilliance
But it's part of the dance of life
All the choices I´ve made
They have brought me here
To this place on the path of life
I'm not better than others
Not at all
But I probably once thought so
Yes, I probably once thought so
If I feel lonely
I get company from
All the errors of yesterday
When I go in depth
They look like
Large scars and open wounds
If this is the hour of accounting
It doesn’t look too good
But I'll make up as good as I can
When it storms at the sea
The bottom is calm
And I strive to be like that
I strive to live like that
I'm not better than others
Not at all
But I probably once thought so
I'm not better than others
Not at all
But I think that I once thought so
Yes I see that I once thought so
I see that I once thought so
See that I once thought so
I see I once thought so

Ep 123 - Revolution in the Viking Age
It's the 4th of July in the United States this week so Daniel and Mathias thought it would be fun to talk about viking age revolutions, so bust out ye Olde Les Misérables lyric book and strap in. Whether it be women smashing their looms to start a revolt, or locals sacrificing their king to regain the favor of the gods, you had better believe we're going to talk about it. There is also quite a bit of talk about the current political situation in the United States, particularly having to do with the recent decision by the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade, so if that's too heavy for you at the minute feel free to skip this one, we understand.

Ep 122 - How Clean Were Vikings?
Daniel is on the road traveling this week so it's just going to be him and Mathias, no guest to speak of, also the sound quality might be a bit spotty so bear with us. Together they'll be sitting down to discuss the hot internest topic of viking cleanliness. Were Vikings notably more clean than people in the middle ages? There's only one way to find out and you better bet the answers will be complicated!

Ep 121 - Being Uhtred of Bebbanburg with Alexander Dreymon
This episode has taken almost 2 years to arrange, so we hope you really enjoy it. This week Mathias and Daniel are honored to be sitting down with Alexander Dreymon, aka Uhtred of Bebbanburg from the popular show The Last Kingdom! Together with the boys Alex will discuss how a lord with no lands might pay the men who fought for him in a pre-currency era, and there will also be a solid 20 minutes on coconut bikinis. Why? It's complicated.
A special thanks to Alex for coming on the show, it was a real treat for us and the patrons!

Ep 120 - My Name is What? The Lesser Eddic Gods
It's a comedy of errors this week as, due to a last minute cancellation Mathias and Daniel are sitting down to discuss the lesser known member of the nordic pantheon from Snorri Sturluson's Edda. On top of that Mathias had to record this one from his campus office, so the sound quality might be a little shaky, please be kind.
Nevertheless we persist! Topics this week include: What's the deal with Baldur? Was Bragi a real skaldic poet? And which god got a mention in the Edda just for being, "good at archery"? The answers will be complicated.

Ep 119 - Kalandra, Beautiful Music with Katrine Stenbekk

Ep - 118 The Aun Year with Rune Rasmussen and Tyson Yunkaporta
This week it's three doctors and one Daniel, as Mathias is joined by fellow scholars Rune Rasmussen, and Australian scholar Tyson Yunkaporta! Regular listeners will know Rune from his previous appearances in episodes 35, and 94. And Tyson is new to the show, but his expertise as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne is sure to come in handy during the discussion. Topics this week include: The Aun Year, what is it? What does that even mean? And why conspiracy theories like Qanon keep adopting Nordic Mythology. Sounds complicated enough!

Jonas is no stranger to the show and also narrates our Patron only bonus storytime episodes. Other highlights this episode include Jonas sharing stories from the set of a recent music video he filmed in Ukraine, and possibly the most buck wild sentence ever spoken on this show... looks it's complicated you'll have to listen.

Ep - 116 Oh My Nordic Goddesses!
This week Mathias and Daniel are throwing it back to the old days, which if you're new around here means no guest. The topic this week is everything you ever wanted to know about the Nordic Pantheon Goddesses. We did our best with the subject but as you can imagine when you're covering everything from the original, "send feet pics" story, to why Thor is best girl, it's going to get very complicated very quickly!

Ep - 114 All the Spoilers! The Northmen Review with Joshua Rood
This week Mathias is out of commission so we are turning to our first ever official guest host Joshua Rood! Together with Daniel Josh is going to be giving a frankly spoiler ridden review of Robert Eggers new movie The Northmen. This is definitely a spoiler heavy review, so if you haven't seen the movie yet and want to maybe hold off until after. However if you don't mind having everything (including the ending) spoiled then dive right on in. Nothing complicated this week, just spicy hot takes!

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Connor and Audhild, the creators of Valhalla’s Silver, which specializes in hand made faithful recreations of jewelry based on real archaeological finds from the Viking Age. They also made all the jewelry featured in Robert Eggers new movie The Northmen, and were kind enough to sit down with the boys and share some stories from the set! Other topics this week include: the challenges of running a small business, Dan's hatred of Funko Pops, and are we wearing Torc necklaces wrong?

Ep - 112 Blót Through Music with Kjell Braaten
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Kjell Braaten, long time listeners might remember him from Episode 80: The OG's of Viking Music (which is well worth going back and checking out if you haven't). Together with the boys Kjell is here to discuss his new album: Blóta, which he envisions as not just an album but a Blot ritual in its own right. Other topics include a good candle with an unfortunate font, Daniel getting a taste of his own medicine on facebook, and the time Mathias bumped into the queen or Norway.

Ep - 111 Portmahomack: Monastery of the Picts with Dr. Martin Carver
This week we are delighted to have Professor Martin Carver returning as a guest! As you might remember from our 50th Episode Martin is the director of the Sutton Hoo research project, and has written multiple books on the subjects of Vikings and Iron Age England. This time, together with Mathias and Daniel, Martin will be discussing the archaeological excavation of the Pictish monastery of Portmahomack in Scotland. Some one of a kind stories will be shared, and Dan gets so excited he destroys his recording studio… It's complicated.

Ep - 110 The Viking Creation Myth (Entertainment Purposes Only)
This week is another Mathias and Daniel episode! On purpose! Definitely not because we had a guest cancel on us at the last minute. We're taking this as an opportunity to dedicate an entire episode to the absolute fever dream that is the Viking creation myth, specifically the version in Snorri Sturluson's Edda. So be prepared for some knees knocking each other up, a cow licking a giant to life, and learning that Asgard is actually the ancient city of Troy (also it's made out of a giant's eyelashes, it's complicated).

Ep - 109 Daniel Farrand’s Confessions
For our long-time listeners who remember our 43rd Episode where we interviewed Mathias, this week will finally bring some closure to the cycle as we're finally putting Daniel in the hot seat! Last time we had Sean Perry on as the guest host and this time we're lucky enough to have Neballa's Jonas Lorentzen sporting his best Daniel impression to fill the role. Topics will include the origin story of Horns of Odin, the story of how Daniel and Mathias started the podcast, and perhaps the origins of Daniel's fascination with Usher... It's complicated.

Ep - 108 Viking Weapons with Rolf Warming
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Rolf Warming, perhaps better known on this show as: "Shield Guy." Long time listeners will know Rolf as the author of the study Mathias loves to reference re-examining the practical use of shields in battle by Vikings from a martial arts perspective. Together with the boys Rolf will be discussing all viking weapons, but mostly shields, as well as going through a step by step process of everything Daniel did wrong when he made his own shield; as you might imagine the process is more complicated than it looks.

Ep - 107 Being Bjorn Ironside with Alexander Ludwig
This week we have a huge surprise for all our listerners! We had to keep it a secret because We didn't even know if it would happen but now the cat's out of the bag. This week Mathias and Daniel are honoured to be sitting down with Alexander Ludwig, who you may know from his new series Heels, The Hunger Games, or perhaps most relevant to this show Bjorn Ragnarson from Vikings! Obviously we can't waste an opportunity like this so we'll be discussing the historical differences between Bjorn on the show and Bjorn from the saga literature, as well as Alexander's fun stories from being on set. For once things are not complicated it's just a straight up win win all around!

Ep - 106 Edible Edda with Bob Van Strijen
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Bob Van Strijen a historian of Nordic Studies and self described "man of mythery." Bob also curates a collection of Nordic themed art on instagram under the name: "Norsefolx," and is a very active member of our discord. Together with the boys Bob will be delving into which of the primary sources are most credible; spoiler the answer is more complicated than you might expect.

Ep - 105 The American Runestone with Peter Stormare
This week Mathias and Daniel are honored to be sitting down with Peter Stormare, the acclaimed Swedish actor who has appeared in such films as Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and Armageddon. Together with the boys Peter will be discussing his series on Discovery Channel: "Secrets of the Viking Stone." In the series Peter and his colleague Elroy Balgaard try to solve the mystery of the Kensington Runestone, whose authenticity has been questioned since it was found by a Swedish immigrant over 100 years ago. As you might imagine, the answers are complicated.

Ep - 104 Viking Dreadlocks? With Joshua Rood
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Joshua Rood, heathen theologian and lecture organizer for the amazing Midgardsblot music festival, for what promises to be a somewhat contentious episode. The popularity of shows like Vikings have given the titular subject matter somewhat of a rebrand. But how realistic are all of the undercuts, beards, and other hairstyles these shows have popularized? Together with the boys Josh will be delving into the history of locked hair traditions around the world with an eye towards Vikings in particular. Obviously this can be a sensitive subject so we just ask that you bear with us since, obviously, it's complicated.

Ep - 103 Did Vikings Have Horned Helmets?
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with… themselves? It must be a show and tell episode! For anyone who doesn't know how these work yet here is a quick rundown: each host brings some topics to discuss and we have a nice laid back episode, like in the early days of the show. This week the topics are: Did Vikings have horns on their helmets? Why the Vikings might not actually be very fearsome warriors. And how industrialization ruined everything, but also not really... It's complicated.

Topics include: How we remember things through cultural knowledge, the problems with the hard facts of archeology, and a lengthy explanation of a ritual involving reciting poetry to a preserved horse penis.

That might seem like a weird choice in a totally auditory medium but we're going to do our best with it. If you would like to follow along using the video from the recording session that can be found at: https://youtu.be/WxXZB6j6e7k
Also, if you would like to see the other art discussed in the episode done by our amazingly talented patron Sophie you can find the art here. And Sophie's work at: www.instagram.com/thestorytellersjournal

What is the connection between pagans and the pentagrams? Are the snakes in the Saint Patrick story analogous to pagans? And perhaps most important, what is Mathias's dog barking at and is it aliens? ... look it's complicated.

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with returning guest Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen, and new guest Kyrre Franck to discuss the Sámi tribes and cultural appropriation. The idea for this show came about after Rune made a trip to the Danish National Museum and saw a display of four traditional Sámi drums. So this week we're going to be talking about cultural appropriation, what does it look like, who does it affect, and what to do about it. Needless to say it's going to get very, very, complicated.

This week is another show and tell episode, in these shows Mathias and Daniel each bring a few topics and proceed to do a really good deep dive discussion on them. This week we'll be talking about whether or not Iceland is part of Scandinavia (as you might have guessed from the title) and also the inherent problems of Odinism. Keep in mind sometimes our topics can be a bit contentious and complex questions often have complex answers that please basically no one; in fact that's basically our brand at this point.

This time he's here to discuss his upcoming show, Mythos: Ragnarok, a live theater performance which re-imagines the events of the twilight of the gods through the medium of professional wrestling.

Ep - 86 How Vikings Lived
This week is another of our new old school Show and Tell Episodes. Just to remind people of the format both our hosts Mathias and Daniel each bring a few topics and proceed to do a really good deep dive discussion on them. This week's topics are: Why are Vikings so popular in South America? And what were the actual living conditions of people in the Viking Age? Also, a special guest appearance by Mathias's dog barking at a moose that trapped him in his house; it's complicated.
Please bear with our sound this week as Dan is breaking down and moving his studio and Mathias is getting over being sick. With any luck everything will be back to normal soon!

Ep - 85 What Is Spirituality Anyway? With Uffe Berenth
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Uffe Berenth one of the brilliant artists behind Ginnungagap Art, a tattoo studio specialising in Nordic Tattoos, Viking Tattoos and Rune Tattoos; Uffe also has a special personal connection with the god Týr. Together with the boys he'll be discussing the spirituality behind the tattooing process, whether or not Vikings tattooed, and Daniel somehow managing to get stuck in his own grinder at work this week (he's fine, it's complicated). It's a lovely discussion and we hope to have Uffe on again soon, enjoy!
Also, Mathias is still getting over being ill, which is why his voice sounds so raspy. He should be back to normal by next week.

Ep 84 - Thor: Marvel Versus Myth, with Ben Mudge
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Ben Mudge, Ben catapulted into the limelight in 2017 with his "Thursday Thorsday '' Instagram posts and his uncanny resemblance to the popular Marvel character played by Chris Hemsworth. As a person with Cystic Fibrosis Ben used this attention two raise awareness for the genetic disorder as well as inspire people to live more active and healthy lives; something he continues to do today as a personal trainer and nutritionist. Together with the boys Ben will be delving deep into the character of Thor and crucially the differences between his Marvel and Mythological portrayal in a new segment we're calling, "Marvel versus Myth." If any of our more musically inclined listeners wanted to take a whack at making a theme for the new segment we would be happy to shout you out on the show. Shan tried but well, it's complicated.

Ep 83 - The Viking Age Must Die
This week Mathias and Daniel are hopping in the wayback machine and doing something we haven't done in a while, that is to say doing an episode without a guest! We recently got some feedback that some people missed the laid back feel of the old shows. So moving forward we're hoping to mix in more of these slower Show and Tell style episodes where both hosts bring a few topics and we do a really good deep dive discussion. This week's topics? Did Vikings actually have beards, and why the Viking Age doesn't actually exist... Look, it's really complicated... just don't ask.

Ep 82 - Heimdall, The Most Gangster God with Varg of Voluspa
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Varg Saastad, the lead guitarist and master of many instruments in the folk rock band Vǫluspá. We've spoken with Varg's partner Sól Geirsdóttir, perhaps better known by her internet moniker: "The Viking Queen," back in episode 59 (which is also a great listen). Together with the boys Varg will be delving into the personal journey his music has taken him on, as well as his upcoming projects, including a song about Heimdall which features every instrument he knows how to play. That's frankly just a bonkers feat of complexity we can't hope to match!

Helena is a historian and author known for her hands-on approach to exploring Iron Age Norway. Together with the boys she'll be discussing the history of the Sámi tribes in Northern Norway, which is a subject we have not really touched on before in the show, but are really excited to get into. Will the topic be fascinating enough to finally make Dan listen to an episode of the show? Well, it's complicated.

Together with the boys they'll be sharing stories of their humble beginnings at a millenium new years party, and marveling at how huge the scene has become propelled by bands like Wardruna and Heilung.

Together with the boys Rich will be delving into every mention of Drauger, who it turns out are not just a random mob found in the bowels of Skyrim. What exactly are they and where do they come from?

Ep 78 - All About the Picts with Pictavia Leather
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Hamish Findlay of Pictavia Leather to discuss the history of the Picts in Scotland. Pictish history spans 900 years and has numerous historical intersections with both the Romans and the Vikings. Together with the boys Hamish will be digging into all the weird theories of how the Picts came to be and what eventually became of them; as well as trying to disabuse the harmful stereotype of the blue painted savage. Will we get through all of that in just over an hour? Well, it's complicated...
If you would like to learn more about the Picts, or see Hamish in one of his numerous television appearances you can find both at: www.pictavialeather.co.uk

Ep 75 - Is Thor the Real All-Father? With Terry Gunnell
This week on NMP we are so excited to have one of our dream guests! Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with none other than professor Terry Gunnell; in fact Dan was so excited that he read his first ever academic article in preparation (we're so proud). Terry is a well known expert in Nordic and Icelandic folklore, who has also written many of the crew at NMP's favorite books, and even taught Mathias a few times! Together with the boys Terry will be talking about the Prose Edda, specifically why the text places so much significance on Odin. Is he really the head of the pantheon, or was Thor perhaps the real All-Father all along? Well, it's complicated...
If you're inspired by Daniel and would like to read more of Terry's work you can find it at: Academia.edu/TerryGunnell

Ep 74 - The Raven Flag - It's Complicated
This week we are trying something new on NMP! Entirely on purpose (and not at all due to a scheduling snafu) Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Rune Rasmussen from the Nordic Animism Youtube channel, Jonas Lorentzen from the band Nebala, and Eco-Philosopher and co-founder of Matr Food Naina Eira. Together this distinguished group will be talking about Rune's latest project, and more specifically the Raven Flag he has created as a symbol for the contemporary bond between animism and nature. This is both our longest episode ever, and our first panel discussion, so bear with us because it's going to get complicated fast!

Ep 73 - The Rus Vikings with Anatoly of Nytt Land
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Anatoly Pahlenko one of the founders of the amazing band Nytt Land to talk about the Rus Vikings, as well as the bands most recent album: Ritual. Little known fact: Anatoly and his wife are both history students making him uniquely suited to discussing the Rus and Viking influence on one another. Also a lot of to-do will be made about what exactly we should call this genre that Nytt Land and Wardruna occupy, it turns out it's really complicated.

Ep 72 - Living Tradition with Icelandic Völva Tanya Lind
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Tanya Lind, a modern day Völva of the Icelandic tradition. Together with the boys she'll be discussing the roots of her practice starting with Völuspá in the Poetic Edda and contrasting with her own contemporary experiences. Also, Dan discusses his childhood fear of ghosts, and a guest appearance by a cat wearing a loud bell (it goes away quickly, don't worry). Are those two things related? Well, it's complicated...

Together with the boys he'll be discussing the idea of Shield Maidens, as well as his upcoming book Women and Weapons in the Viking World: Amazons of the North. How does the contemporary idea line up with the historical reality? One thing we know for sure it's bound to get complicated!

Ep 69 - The Magic of Runestaves with Hrafnhildur
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with the amazingly talented hand poke tattoo artist Hrafnhildur in order to discuss the Icelandic Runestaves. In the current climate of Viking fever these runestaves have become highly requested tattoos, but do they really have any connection with Vikings at all? Also, where does she weigh in on our long standing debate of whether Vikings were tattooed or not? The answers will no doubt be complicated.

Ep 65 - The Folklore of Scandinavia with Tommy Kuusela
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with swedish folklorist Tommy Kuusela to discuss the diverse and highly entertaining folklore of Scandinavia. Complicated questions answered this week include: What is the difference between mythology and folklore? Why do so many animals in folklore turn into sexy ladies? And Dan's most pressing question: how accurate are the little plastic troll dolls to actual folklore depictions? Why was this his most pressing question? Well, it's complicated.

Ep 64 - The Berserker Strut with Dr. Ruarigh Dale
Mathias and Daniel are delighted to be sitting down again this week with Dr. Ruarigh Dale in what is shaping up to be an unofficial three part saga. You might remember Ruarigh from his last appearance on the podcast where he spoke at length about The Danelaw Saga, a subject he quite literally wrote the book on. This week though he's here to talk about one thing and one thing only and that is the role of the Berserker in the saga literature and medieval Viking society. Were berserker's more akin to a kings champion? Why has the idea of a battle mad warrior so grabbed the attention of storytellers through the ages? And what is the berserker strut and why should we call it that? The complicated answers to these questions and many more on this week's episode!

Ep 63 - Niflheim and the Return of The Seawolf
It's always fun to have returning guests! This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down for the second time with Andrew Saulf aka The Seawolf. In the world of Viking themed music Andrew has a unique angle producing more chilled out low-fi tacks which he jokingly describes as: "chill viking beats to study to." If you listen carefully you may even hear a familiar voice on one of the tracks of his new Album Niflheim!
Also There was a blizzard going on in Colorado during recording, so Mathias's audio this week is pretty bad. Thanks in advance for bearing with us.

Together with the boys Hari will be exploring the history and culture of the Faroe Islands, which are often unfortunately overlooked in Viking (and sometimes modern) history. Why is that the case?

Ep 61 - Skalds, Poetry, and Crotums with DraugaSkald
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Sofie Draheim aka The Instagram Artist formerly known as: "Odinscrotum." Sofie also happens to be an expert when it comes to Skaldic Poetry and together with the boys she'll do her best to explain the complicated topic well enough that listeners can in turn flex on their friends for their weak understanding meter and rhyme structure. Granted it's a complicated flex, but well worth it!

Ep 46 - Capitol Controversy with Brute Norse
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Eirik Storesund, the content creator behind Brute Norse, a blog and podcast dedicated to dispelling the many popular misconceptions about the Viking Age and Norse culture, and bridging the gap between scholarship and public perception. Together they will be discussing the riot in the US capitol last week, and the unfortunate public misconception of certain Norse symbols and cultual elements as a result. We've covered misappropriation of Viking symbols and the unfortunate ties with white supremacy before, and quite honestly we are sad to have to do so again so early in the year. However, given these unfortunate events though we don't really feel we have a choice. Lighter topics next week, we promise.

Ep 43 - Who Exactly Is Mathias Nordvig? With Guest Sean Parry
For our final episode of 2020 Daniel and special guest host Sean Parry of Sacred Knot Tattoo
will be interviewing our very own Mathias Nordvig! We figured we would go out on a fun low key note to end a year which has been severely lacking on both of those fronts.
Topics include: Mathias telling the story of Odin and Thor vs the giant Hrungnir, discussing the origin of Thors lightning powers, and everyones favorite meads to ring in the new year.
We did have some technical issues getting Sean to join so he makes his first appearance about 15 minutes in. Skip to there if you don't want to hear juicy tid bits about Mathias's childhood in Norway (but who doesn't want to hear those?)

Ep 42 - Yule Special 2020 with Josh Rood
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Josh Rood the lead singer of the band Nexion. Together they will be answering all your questions about the celebration of Yule in the Viking era, and also discussing the practice of human and animal sacrifice in various Norse religions and texts. Those may seem like strange bedfellows for topics but trust us, it works. On a lighter note everyone shares stories of their own Yuletide traditions and mishaps; Daniel in particular has one worthy of a saga.
It's been quite a year for everyone and we personally have come a long way from our Yule episode last year. This is for instance our second livestreamed episode for members of our Patreon!

Ep 40 - Indo-European Languages with Heilung's Emilie Lorentzen
This week Mathias and Daniel are thrilled to sit down with Emilie Lorentzen to speak about how she joined the band Heilung, nerd out about her background in Indo-European Languages, and her mysterious new music project.
Other topics of discussion include: The Danish island of Bornholm , where Emilie hails from, and whose folk music is the inspirations for her next project. The God Tyr, his names history and the mysterious lack of temples and religious sites dedicated to him. And how regional languages and dialects shape our thinking and who we are in the world; yes, even Daniel's.
The answers as always will be complicated.

Ep 39 - The History of the Blood Eagle with Luke John Murphy
Maybe this would have made a better Halloween episode, but this week is all about the macabre Viking ritual known as the "Blood Eagle," as made famous in the show Vikings. Luke John Murphy has been researching the historical and practical sides of the ritual and has come on the show to share his findings with Mathias and Daniel.
Surprisingly Daniel seems to have an amazing intuitive understanding of the medical science behind cracking open someone's ribcage, to the point that it would be worrying if he wasn't such a nice guy. Luke was an amazing guest so please consider heading over to his website and checking out some of his other academic papers. The one about English hair goddesses sounds particularly fun.
You can find that paper and many more at: luke-murphy.com
Also the issues with Mathias's sound are unfortunately ongoing. The problem isn't with actual equipment it's his internet connection. That's what he gets for living deep in the mountains. Anyway we are working on a solution and appreciate your patience.

Ep 38 - Assassins Creed Valhalla; Making The Music with Einar Selvik
This weeks guest needs no introduction. It's Einar Selvik the front man of the amazing Wardruna! He's fresh off of working on the music for the upcoming Assassins Creed Valhalla and was kind enough to sit down with Mathias and Daniel to discuss the experience, as well as Wardrunas upcoming album.
But that's just the jumping off point. From there the discussion will range into general artistic attitudes and the creative process, his surprise voice over cameo in Assassins Creed, and the positives and negatives of Ubisofts interpretation of the Viking material. The answers will be as complicated as they are entertaining.
Also, we have to apologize again for the audio quality Einar had some building going on in the background and we did our best but it is a problem. Frankly we were just excited to have him.

Ep 37 - The Oath: A Heathen Poets Journey with Jason Ralls
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Jason Ralls to talk about his heathen spiritual practice and recent book of poetry The Oath: A Heathen Poets Journey. The Oath chronicles the transpositional journey of the poet as he travels through the planes, meeting with gods, and even going through the underworld.
But of course that isn't all we'll be discussing this week. Other topics also include: magic mushrooms and other hallucinogens' and their effect on spiritual practice, the Ättestupa or did grandpa really have to jump off a cliff for the good of the village, and in impromptu positive review of the movie Midsommar. How did we get all of that into one episode? Well, it's complicated.
Also we know the audio on this weeks episode is a little spotty. Unfortunately some of our files didn't upload properly so we had to get ones from our backup which just isn't as good. We are looking into a long term fix but in the meantime please bear with us.
If you would like to check out the book you can find it here: linktr.ee/JasonRalls

Ep 36 - Fire and Sword with Jeanette Varberg
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Jeanette Verberg an archeologist and curator for the National Museum of Denmark where she is responsible for the Bronze and Viking Age; think Indiana Jones but one who only cared about Viking prehistory and didn't destroy the dig site half the time.
Together they will be discussing her experiences on archeological expeditions as well as her extensive writing, both academic and historic non-fiction about the Viking Age. Unfortunately unless you read Danish you probably won't get much out of her books as they have not been translated into English. However, if you would like to read her academic papers including her most recent one: Where Have All The Young Girls Gone? which discusses the curious absence of women in Bronze Age Swedish rock carvings, as well as the possibility that perhaps they have actually been there all along... then you should check out her National Museum Page. Personally I would recommend the one on the distribution of Mesopotamian Glass, which is a fascinating topic she talks about in the beginning of the episode.

Ep 35 - Nordic Animism with Rune Rassusen
This week Mathias and Daniel are chatting with Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen who runs a successful Youtube channel and the web page Nordic Animism both of which are well worth checking out!
With 2020 drawing to a close (finally) Rune is releasing the 2021 Runic Animist Calendar, a wall calendar which features a selection of amazing artists working off of the theme "rune". It also comes with a manual "The Nordic Animist Year," which functions as an introduction to traditional seasonal animism in Northern Europe. It's a good read although notably a little shorter than Mathias's last book (not that it's a measuring contest or anything!)
Also we know the sound is a little off on this weeks episode. Runes audio was not terribly good to begin with so Shan had to give him a little bit of old time radio voice. Think of it as ambiance?

Ep 34 - Midgardsblot, Metal and Vikings with Vicky Mikalsen
It's time to unwind, and as we all know there is nothing more relaxing than kicking back with some black metal blasting and just letting all your cares slip away. Why, what were you thinking?
This week Mathias and Daniel are both really excited to sit down with one of the principal organizers of the Midgardsblot festival Vicky Mickaleson. Midgardsblot is a metal and folk festival that takes place in Borre Norway. The event centers around the Midgard Viking Center and events include: battle reenactments, a Viking village and market, lectures and panels (featuring the likes of our very own Mathias) and of course Metal. It's an amazing place and we someday hope to do a live podcast there.
Together with Vicky, Mathias and Daniel will talk about how the festival began and has grown, as well as what to expect from the opening ceremonies and other events; it's a nice friendly discussion. So pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and toast with us to Midgardsblot, where hopefully we can all see one another in 2021! I mean at this point it's either there or in Valhalla, so it should be a party either way.

Ep 33 - The Anatomy of Dragons with Jonas Lau Markussen
This week Mathias and Daniel get to seriously nerd out with Joans Lau Markussen author of The Anatomy of Viking Art the book which helped get Daniel started designing his mead horns. Together Jonas and Mathias will cover tons of Viking art history theories from Lindisfarne to the existence of Dragons. It's going to be a good time.
We know we've been doing a lot of serious themed episodes recently and we really appreciate people hearing what we have to say. One of the big reasons Mathias and Daniel started this podcast in the first place was to educate people, not just about the myths, but also how these ancient traditions are being carried forward, both the good and the bad. We feel we've done that pretty well with our last batch of episodes, but this next batch is going to be more focused on Viking history and culture and less on contemporary social issues. Frankly we all could use a break, and we thought you all might appreciate one as well.
Also this week Mathias gets to try out his new mic setup for the first time thanks to our amazing supporters over at Patreon! If you like what we do and want to help us keep improving the content we bring to you then head over and consider chipping in if you can, seriously everything helps.

Ep 32 - Modern Paganism and Heathens Against Hate with Ethan Stark
This week Mathias and Daniel are really excited to talk with Ethan Stark an administrator of Heathens Against Hate, an organization dedicated to inclusivity in heathenry through the philosophy: "We are our deeds."
Together they will be diving into the topics surrounding the difficulties faced by people who practice modern paganism and heathenry; the primary one being groups interested in practicing racism and white supremacy who tarnish the image of this newly emerging religious practice. Learn some of the things you should watch out for if you yourself are interested in checking out Paganism, as well as some of the hard conversations you might have to have as a practicing Heathen, both to educate people or steer people you care about from going down a bad road. It's good stuff, if complicated.
Also this is our one year anniversary! It's hard to believe that this all started out with a scholar and a self described, "idiot from Yorkshire." We've come so far, at least in terms of equipment... This has been especially evident in the last month or so since our amazing Patreon supporters have given us the ability to purchase new equipment and help Daniel focus more time on the podcast. Thank you so much, your support truly means the world to us!

Ep 31 - Traditional Viking Tattoos and Names with Collin Dale
This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down from with Collin Dale of Skin and Bone Tattoo to discuss his designs and the success of his Facebook page: Traditional Nordic Tattoos, where he shares images of traditional tattoos from Nordic, Celtic, Pictish, and Sami backgrounds with over 50,000 people, head over and check it out, there's some amazing stuff!
Other topics of discussion will cover things like: How to improve your Google skills so you don't keep finding the same 10 Tattoo designs from Etsy. Is it okay to name your child after a God? (spoiler, it's 2020 name your kids whatever you want). And why you should avoid getting a back alley tattoo from some random basket weaver or other artisan at a festival; really, it feels like I shouldn't have to explain that one, but according to Collin it's a real problem so here we are.

Ep 28 - The Way of Men With Jack Donovan
This week Daniel and Mathias sat down with Jack Donovan to talk a bit about his thoughts on the role of men in the Viking age. We realize this might not be everyone's cup of tea and for those of you who (deservedly) have some doubts we encourage you to listen to the first 6 minutes or so before drawing your own conclusions.
Together they'll discuss what is meant to be a viking man, the answers are surprisingly grounded and center around owning land and their ability to work. We'll also dig (no pun intended) into the topic of Bog Bodies and how the "science" of them being homosexuals is actually Nazi propaganda to justify their ruthless persecution of gays.
Also, we know the ads are terrible this week, we are working on getting some transition music and better mics. Here's our Patreon if you'd like to help with that, conveniently one of the first perks is an add free version of the episode. We certainly appreciate any and all help.

Ep 27 - The Vikings are Gay! With guest Amy Jefford Franks
We all know that every Viking ever was a barrel chested, big bearded, lady killer (sometimes literally). But is that really the case? How realistic is it to believe that every viking for almost 300 years had a knotty spear shaft only for Freya? This week Mathias and Daniel sit down with Amy Jefford Franks a fellow historian and host of the awesome, "Vikings Are Gay!" podcast. Together they will be discussing topics like:
What happens when a group of men are on a boat together for a long time?
Why the insult "bottom" in saga literature is more about bucking social norms and less a description of certain recreational activities.
And the unfortunate white supremacist influence left in viking scholarship by Nazi's, as well as how to begin addressing it.
It's honestly a wild ride and we hope you enjoy!

Ep 26 - Old Norse for Modern Times with Special Guest Arngrimur Vidalin
It's a good old fashioned scholarly debate this week as Arngrimur Vidalin, a fellow Old Norse Literature expert, sits down with Mathias and Daniel to talk about his many exciting translation projects.
As it turns out Arngrimur is involved in a lot of really cool stuff right now including: translating Alice in Wonderland into ancient Norse, gathering material for a new book on the monsters of the saga literature and how they shaped ancient race theory, and most immediately Old Norse For Modern Times a book of your favorite modern sayings translated into Old Norse. There should still be a few days if you want to check out the Kickstater and back it, then you too can say awesome stuff like:
"Meira mælti Wagner af kappi en viti!"
"Wagner has a lot to answer for!"
Also find out the name of the best hat shop in Copenhagen. Cheers!

Ep 25 - The Seawolf and The Creation Myths
First things first, we've really got to apologize for the audio quality on this weeks episode. It is well below our standard of quality. The truth is coordinating recording setups in 3 different places is complicated and in this case the audio that was recorded using a new program for us was pretty damaged to begin with; our editor did what he could with it, but when you start from a bad place there's only so far you can come. From all of us at The Norse Mythology Podcast we are truly sorry. We are just three guys doing the best we can with the setups we have and this time things did not go our way, in future we will be upgrading some mics and monitoring our sound more closely to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Now that that is out of the way lets talk about this weeks episode. This week Mathias and Daniel were lucky enough to sit down with Andrew Saulf aka The Seawolf. He's a really talented up and coming music artist whose work you can check out at: facebook.com/theseawolfmusic
You might even recognize a familiar voice on his latest track since our very own Mathias donated his vocal talent to the mix! But the gang wont just be discussing, "lofi Viking beats to relax/study to," they'll also be getting into the Norse creation myths, and how Midgard is actually protected by eyebrows. Also, possibly the best excuse in the ancient world, "It wasn't me, the swamp lady did it!"

Ep 24 - All About Pagan Music with Faun Lead Singer Oliver S. Tyr
We are really honored this week to be able to talk about ancient music traditions with Oliver S. Tyr lead singer of the band Faun, as well as discuss their new single "Tamlin". Together with Mathias and Daniel he will be discussing the new surge of interest in pagan traditions and music because of the popular show "Vikings", as well as sharing stories of the early days of the band. Some highlights include: Oliver's surprising pre-Faun career, the latest unique instrument he acquired from (of all places) Colorado, and the difficulty of attracting the attention of modern ears using traditional sounds.

Ep 23 - The Truth About Runes: Sigurboði Returns!
Sigurboði is back to talk about his new single with Mathias and Daniel, but that's not all. First and foremost he's here to give us the hard truth about the runes! Are they magical? Can you use them as a compass? Did they come straight from Odin or take a roundabout journey through Portugal? The answers may surprise you. Together they also cover some very important other topics like: Why are sheep so sturdy? What do the Norse dwarves actually look like? And most importantly can a peasant take out a knight who has been knocked off a horse? The answers will be as complicated as they are amusing.
Also if you have not check out Mathias's new book! It's Norse myths for kids, what's not to like?

Ep 22 - Story Time: How Utgard Loki Makes Thor Seem Small
In this episode we are going old school and telling the story of Utgard Loki. Daniel and Mathias also have a broader discussion of how this myth in particular is the perfect example of Christianity absorbing local mythology to further its own ends. Get ready for some good old fashioned storytelling, as well as some quality discussions from the hosts, about appropriation and religious identity in the medieval period. The answers, as always, will be complicated.

Ep 10 - Flóki -the man who gave Iceland its name
In this episode, Daniel and Mathias are talking about Flóki. According to legend, Flóki followed a raven to Iceland and built a settlement there. Unfortunately, his settlement failed, but he did end up being responsible for naming the country "Iceland." In HBO's show "Vikings," Flóki is an important character who is responsible for inventing Viking ships, and largely functions as Ragnar Lothbrok's right-hand man. As a trickster figure in Vikings, many aspects of Flóki's story are directly inspired by Old Norse myths about Loki.

Ep 9 - Rollo -the founder of Normandy
In this episode, Daniel and Mathias talk about Rollo, the founder of the duchy of Normandy.

We embark on a journey through the various sources that were written in the medieval period about a Nordic Viking warrior named Hrólfr or Hrollaugr, who succeeded in establishing a Nordic colony on the French coast. Did he come from Denmark, as the early historical sources suggest, or did he come from Norway, as later historical sources and the much later Icelandic sagas say? Listen and find the answers to all of your questions!
