In this electrifying episode of Mythlok, we journey into the heart of Norse mythology to explore the legendary goddess Freya—a divine force of love, war, magic, and mystery.Often misunderstood as just a goddess of beauty, Freya is a complex powerhouse who commands both hearts and battlefields. From her enchanted necklace and her chariot pulled by cats to her mastery of seiðr and her tearful longing for her lost love, Freya embodies the wild, uncontainable spirit of the Norse pantheon.Join host Nitten Nair as we uncover Freya's origins among the Vanir, her dramatic arrival in Asgard, her tangled love stories, and her modern-day influence in pop culture, neo-paganism, and feminist iconography. With powerful storytelling, sharp insights, and a touch of mythological gossip, this episode paints Freya in all her raw, radiant glory.

Hail, O eaters of Toadstools! Ren Wednesday and Adam Whybray are back with returning guest and standing-stone correspondent Ali to talk about Alan Garner's debut novel from 1960, the Weirdstone of Brisingamen. This episode may venture further into fantasy than usual, but there's still plenty of horror to get your teeth into, with swarms of svarts, skin mittens, and of course, caves. Plus, Ren feels so guilty about their lacklustre watching of Casper that their notes for this episode include archival research. Note: We had to re-record the first fifteen minutes of the episode so there's a few slight oddnesses at the beginning, but it settles down :)

Freyja and the Dwarfs: Sex and Sexuality in the Viking Age

The Sacred Flame

In this episode, I'm discussing sex and sexuality in the Viking Age --and far, far beyond. I departure from the story about Freyja sleeping with four dwarfs in exchange for the necklace Brisingamen. I discuss other, related stories, not least Ari Thorgilson's report that Hjalti Skeggjason was outlawed for calling Freyja a "bitch" in a poem that he composed in the year 999. From there, I consider other reports on Scandinavians' sexlives in the Viking Age, and what they mean for the general picture we get of pre-Christian attitudes to sex and sexuality. I relate this to factoids about human evolution, our physical configuration, and our inner hormonal processes associated with sexual activities. From there, I take it to a global level and discuss some aspects of other cultures' sexual practices. If you listen to this episode and feel that I don't give you a straight answer to what we can take from this knowledge of history in terms of applying it to our lives today, you'll have gotten the point: it's not for me to decide or even suggest how you should relate to this subject.

Today's guest is Renate Haug, an expert in Norse mythology and the runic alphabet. Renate was born in Norway, and since she was little she created an appreciation for Viking culture, which led her to study and learn more about her own culture. In today's episode, Renate is here to show us how to interpret the world in a different way through the runes. Also, we will talk about paganism and initiation. You cannot miss this episode! You will not only hear about Norwegian culture but also know the meaning behind the UNcivilized logo. ABOUT RENATA HAUG Renate Elida Haug is a Norwegian Waldorf school teacher, naturopath, and Norse shaman. She is a teacher in a Norse shamanistic tradition and runic lore. Together with her friend and soul sister, she runs the Brisingamen, is a school where they teach Norse shamanism and offers rites of passage (birth rituals, confirmation from child to adult, and handfastings) and other yearly rituals. She grew up with a close and intimate connection to nature, with a great fascination with Norse myths and runes. She started off self-taught but, has for many years now, studied under a fantastic mentor and teacher in shamanism and rune theory. She is about to publish an oracle deck with runic drawings of the elder futhark.

Disenchantment, Netflix's new animated series set in a fantastical medieval world from The Simpsons' creator Matt Groening is released this week. TV critic Andrew Collins and comedy writer Natasha Hodgson discuss whether the fantasy series has brought some Simpsons' magic to Netflix. Alan Garner's debut novel, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, is regarded as one of the great 20th century works of children's literature. It was inspired by the Cheshire landscape he grew up in, like many of his other novels like The Owl Service. His new memoir, Where Shall We Run To?, is a series of recollections of his wartime childhood but it's far from nostalgic. The Oscars have just announced the introduction of a new award category for outstanding achievement in popular film, making superhero films like Black Panther more likely to win an Oscar.
