In the days leading up to the wedding of Amos and Edda, Edda tries to seduce her (mostly) gay roommate Seth. He rebuffs her, or does he? She's engaged to Amos, but she (at the very least) dry humps his knee. He says no. But then (apparently?) he changes his mind and has sex with her anyway. Later, that same night? Later, like, the next day? It's impossible to decipher. But later she has sex with Amos and declares to him that she has always loved him. Both she and Seth lie about what happened. Amos seems to know what really happened but shoves it down deep inside so he can carry on living inside The Greatest Love Affair The World Has Ever Seen. As a result of whatever Edda did with Seth, she wants to elope. But they're stopped by Juliette and Seth who both want there to be a regular wedding, for very different reasons. Juliette wants a wedding she can attend, Seth wants Edda to wear the wedding dress he made her. The reasons he made the dress were to make Amos so amazed by her beauty that he would feel inferior and run to Seth for comfort, so Seth could then fuck Amos. Guys, this is actually what he says out loud in the strip. They get married. Their dog sniffs Eddas ass. And The Greatest Love Affair The World Has Ever Seen continues!

Review the podcast Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:05.742) Hey everyone, welcome to the Dental A Team podcast. I'm your host, Kiera Dent, and I had this crazy idea that maybe I could combine a doctor and a team member's perspective, because let's face it, dentistry can be a challenging profession with those two perspectives. I've been a dental assistant, treatment coordinator, scheduler, pillar, office manager, regional manager, practice owner, and I have a team of traveling consultants where we have traveled to over 165 different offices coaching teams. Yep, we don't just understand you, we are you.   Our mission is to positively impact the world of dental. And I believe that this podcast is the greatest way I can help elevate teams, grow VIP experiences, reduce stress, and create A -Teams. Welcome to the Dental A Team Podcast.   The Dental A Team (00:51.438) Hello, Dental A Team listeners, this is Kiera. And you guys, today I am so excited to have back on one of my favorite doctors. He and I tend to come up with some fun ideas to podcast on. And so I'm super honored and grateful to have Dr. Dave Mogadam back on the show today. If you haven't heard, he and I have chatted so many different topics from mergers to practice to bringing on your hygiene team and how to calibrate your hygiene team. And today we're gonna take it on another direction with scheduling. So Dave, how are you today?   I'm doing wonderful. How about yourself? Great and guys just so you know if you heard the last one Dave's got a killer mustache going on again today He's got like I wish you guys could see him because he came like ready to go today rocking and rolling Dave How's the weather where you're at today? I mean you've got the mustache going on perfect haircut today I mean you're looking   You know, it was one of those things where I got fooled in the Northeast. You know, we have these fake spring days. So yesterday was really, you know, beautiful, sunny, everything like that. So I threw on a T -shirt and a vest. I was walking outside this morning and somebody asked me where my sleeves are. It's freezing. Well, that's how we are over here. Today's the coldest I think I've ever seen Reno and it's at 11 degrees today. And for me,   freezing cold. Like I don't know what this is. We also had that fake spring. was almost in the seventies and then plumbing it down, got lots of snow. So it's probably coming your way. So get ready for it. Here it comes. But you know, here we go. So Dave, let's, let's dive right in. about, mean, you guys have a fun day. get customer service with Disney today. So just going to throw that out there. That's going to be a fun day, but let's talk scheduling. I'm going to just tee everybody up for a possible other conversation on customer service, Disney style,   Priority scheduling, you're a dentist, you guys have grown a lot. Tiffany works with your practice, she's excited to come see you again. So kind of walk us through this priority scheduling and what you guys have found successful in your practice. So yeah, it's a really good topic. about a, a year ago now, I was really thinking about, know, what is going on with our schedule? Because for years and years, as we've gotten busier,   The Dental A Team (03:07.126) Monday through Wednesday has always been like gangbusters and awesome. And then we get to Thursday and it is just like, my God, what is going on here? It's all the little ancillary nonsense that you just don't want to deal with. And everybody's running around and trying to deal with like seeing a bunch of patients and our practice is not really, you know, like that or geared for that really. And you work harder, it's less fun and everybody really just does not enjoy it, especially me. Right.   So for years and years, we've kind of always heard the big consultant saying, you got to schedule to production and this and that. And that just never really resonated with me in the least bit. Because I always have this, and know my philosophy is about this is kind of schedule everything else right, plan everything else well, do the right things, treat everybody the right way. And the numbers come. I feel like when we fixate on the numbers, it's   I don't know. just don't feel good about it. And I don't think my team does either. But what I can get behind is, well, everybody wants to have a better experience at work. And when myself and the other doctor are happier, everybody else is happier too, because we're not just walking around like grumpy pants. So I'd heard the idea of priority scheduling through a bunch of other podcasts. And I said, you know   think I can get behind this. know you guys had been a big proponent of actually managing the schedule, setting time out better, everything like that. So I sat down and I figured out, what does an ideal week look like? What type of procedures do I want to do? How do I want to break them up? How do we set up time where the flow of everything's better? Where do we put in the ancillary stuff so it's not something where we spend one day running around and we just end the week on just like a ugh.   kind of note there. So we started doing this, think, last March. And it could be the perfect storm. It could be a lot of factors. But between that, ramping up our marketing, everything like that, all of sudden that month, we were basically up maybe 20, 30 percent. And we've pretty consistently been doing that, except for not the last couple of months. Hashtag COVID. So, what are you going to do? That has more to do   The Dental A Team (05:30.216) all the other factors that come into place of, you know, switching, switching over associates, switching over hygienists, all the lovely stuff that, you know, puts all the pressure on myself and the rest of the wonderful team here. Right. We're doing it. So I love that. And I love that you brought that up of you. Number one, I think it's really impressive that you're a dentist, you're the doctor, and you're the one who thinks through this. Because while yes, teams can do it. And I encourage teams to think like this if your doctors don't.   But Dave, I love that you're always a very proactive dentist. You are always thinking about like, okay, what causes this? And instead of just focusing on the symptoms, you go to the root cause. Like what is causing us to have Thursdays that aren't as productive? What is causing us to have successful Mondays through Wednesdays? And what can we do to change that? And I then love that you went and took this to like, what would my ideal schedule be? Because as a team member, that's literally what I need from you. I need to know what my doctor prefers. Because I can put together a schedule   But I know working with hundreds of dentists like Kiera Dent knows that not every dentist likes to practice the same way. Some doctors love to rock and roll until about noon and then like just fill it with fluff at the end of the day. They do not want anything hard. They don't want to be doing any production. Other doctors like, nope, that's when I like to do my surgeries, put my surgeries in at the end of the day. And so it really is paramount for our dentists to give us this like ideal schedule of what they want. And then we can word Ninja as team members.   I Dr. Dave loves to see his patients for this procedure at this time. So there's a lot of different ways we could do it, but how did you kind of come up with your ideal schedule that you actually wanted to do? Like, how did you even map that out? Cause I think sometimes people are like, well, I don't, don't actually know what I want or how much I want to produce. Like, did you have only the type of procedures that was going to be ideal for you? Or did you have the dollar amount that was going to be ideal for you? Like, how did you build this out for priority scheduling? Yeah. Now I only did it based on the type of procedures. I actually,   zero thought to the dollar amounts. I think, you know, it kind of all comes full circle and just kind of the way that we do everything here. And it's going to be super different in every office. And I mean, I've shared my template that I made in Excel with, you know, other friends and stuff like that, but it's not going to work for other other offices for a variety of reasons. I am very different than   The Dental A Team (07:49.228) the guy next door or across the country and everything like that. And I mean that in a positive way. We all have our strong suits. We all have what we like to do. We all have what makes us successful and how we want to go ahead and practice. Just like you guys can't walk in and give somebody a cookie cutter template for consulting. It's the same thing here. So I think really, how did I figure out how to do it? What do I want to do? What do I find is helpful? What do we have a demand for in our practice?   I mean, these are all factors that come into play. mean, I could love to, let's pick like a random procedure. mean, I could love to do immediate dentures every single day, but unless I'm in a place where we're just a denture -lating every human being, like that's not gonna happen. So it's a matter of taking like all these factors into account, figuring out what works and then kind of some of the logistics, like what is different on different days? We have a wonderful, wonderful dental assistant who's with us only on Wednesdays and has been for forever.   and she takes care of all our denture stuff. She'll make flippers immediately for patients in the chair. She'll add teeth. She'll turn partials into dentures, stuff like that. So Wednesday mornings is when I'm lining up a lot of my setting up her implant kind of cases or just big extraction cases, things like that, where it's kind of like in a pinch, we can do the extraction and grafting. She can give them something temporary or stuff like that. So a lot of that stuff, we just kind of line   things like that up that way. Other than that, I mean, I like to go ahead and get the day started with at least something moderately, you know, productive. So, you know, the way we do crowns in our office, we do them in a single visit. So, you know, it's either, it's going to be a block, like, you know, we start with that. The next hour is going to be, you know, something smaller space for emergency. and then, you know, kind of sprinkle things out throughout the day, having blocks where it's just going to be just longer, you know, quadrant kind of stuff.   So I mean, that's the starting point. But the I think the big thing for, you know, doctors and team members listening is like, yeah, this is like the template. But it doesn't mean like it's it's set in stone. And if you don't get anything a day before, like tell everybody else to take a hike. Right. I mean, it's a matter of having that kind of idea of like, what makes sense for you guys is it 24 hours?   The Dental A Team (10:08.494) 48 hours before where we're going to go ahead and just basically put either whatever or switch it up. Or if we're like a week out and we really got to get somebody in, let's switch the block, but then let's make sure we change it in the surrounding areas to accommodate for things so we don't have, you know, weird odd dead space. Right. Exactly. And I think that's a key piece that I feel like a lot of people almost become robotic when you do have these blocks in there. And it's like only put filling here.   And it's like, no, no, no, guys, like we still need to utilize our brains and we need to think of what's going to be the best flow for our patients and also for our practice. And you're right for me, my standard is typically 24 hours before I don't put anything in that block or that space because my goal is to try and fill it. I also think it's really important. I know as a treatment coordinator, I just like I was, was building a puzzle piece all day long. So patients, almost saw them as puzzle pieces and where could I fit this patient?   to fit with all the rest of the patients to make a really beautiful schedule. And so if somebody walked up and they said, okay, I'm fillings today, but I know I've got a bigger block, I'm not gonna stick this puzzle piece in the big block because it's not gonna fill that space. So I'm really looking to put this patient in where it's going to work best for our practice and also for the patient. But so often I think team members are like, well, this filling wants tomorrow, Kiera. And I'm like, well, yes.   A child also wants candy every day for dinner too. And so just because the patient says they want that, what they ultimately want is a great experience. And as a team, what we ultimately want is a great experience. So let's kind of word ninja, help the patient realize like, hey, Dr. Dave actually prefers to do his fillings at this time. Let's reserve this for you. So that way I'm really doing it. Also guys, like I'm gonna give some tips to the front office and for all team members scheduling, cause I'm also not just pro front office, but also back office.   Please like don't set yourself up for failure by saying what day works best for you. Because as soon as you open that floodgate, that patient's gonna tell you what they would prefer. That then you get into a pickle. Like what if we only have this assistant on Wednesdays that does this procedure, but they said Tuesday? Well now I've gotta tell them the great news of, our assistant's amazing and she's only in on Wednesday, so we gotta schedule you on Wednesday, but they just told me they want Tuesday, so I'm already in a losing battle.   The Dental A Team (12:25.038) be proactive and say, fantastic, Dr. Dave loves to do his implants on Wednesdays. Let's get a time reserved. I've got 9 a or 3 p What works best for you? So that way I'm being directive on the conversation as well. It's going to help minimize that frustration and also make scheduling a lot easier in that priority scheduling. So I think the 24 hour rule before and then also making sure we're as team members setting it up as well so we're not having frustrated patients merely because of how we ask the questions rather than guiding   the conversation. So Dave, I'm curious when you built this schedule out, did you kind of do a rough draft and then take it to the team and ask them of what they thought? Or was it, Hey, let's try this out. How did you roll this to the team? Cause I think a lot of doctors worry that they'll, that they'll ruffle some feathers with the team members. So how did you roll this out to your team to get some solid buy -in from it as well? So the way we actually ended up doing this in the first round, it was myself.   my previous associate and my office manager sat down and kind of did, you know, the, the two doctor schedules. And it was nice to do that. because I mean, I'm just going to probably be like, I just wanted to do this. And then, you know, they'll have to like reel me into be like that. Just, just probably pretty inappropriate.   It's true. Doctors always think that they can get things done so fast. They're like, yeah, I could get that crown done in 30 minutes. And I'm like, I'll be honest, it's going to take you at least 45 minutes. Like, I've watched you for the last five years. Like, I know your schedule, doctor. So it's good to have somebody balance you out that knows a reality check on it as well. So I think that's a thing. You definitely need at least one other person to either look through it, talk through it. I think if you get everybody involved, you get too many cooks in the kitchen, that's generally   like pretty unhelpful. there's that to it. But the other things to take into account and everything like that is like, let's say different doctors have different skill sets and everything like that. Well, you kind of have to really take into account like, well, you know, if this doctor is the only one who can do these procedures, we need space for that and this and that. And, you know, if this doctor only does, you know, these types of things, there needs to be more variety in things.   The Dental A Team (14:40.702) as a result, you know, I hear a lot of, Dr. Dave, like we, can't get this patient in for a filling with you for XYZ time. And I'm just like, yup. -huh. That's okay. It's just like, it's okay. Like, you know, it's, one of those things. And like, that was a big, yeah, a little, little bit of a tricky situation. We were in a pension the last couple of months where we've been, much more shorthanded, but now that we're trying to grow another schedule again and balance everything out and as our, newer.   doctor in the practice is growing her skill set and incorporating more things and it's actually perfect. Totally. And I think you were really wise in saying to one, bring the other associate, if there's another doctor and an office manager, like a front office scheduler, whomever that is in your practice, because you guys then are going to really build a really beautiful puzzle together of where it goes. I remember I had an office and, there were two doctors who could both do root canals. However, logistically speaking, they only had.   one set of root canal equipment in the practice. So for us to ever schedule double root canals at the same time, and this was a pretty root canal heavy practice, they had to get really smart of where can we put this to make sure, and same thing like with utilizing a mill. If you only have one mill, you don't want to have two doctors doing two crowns at the same time, because then you're going to get into a mill issue. And so I agree, I think it's just really smart how you guys did that. And then also being able to pivot with your team.   I love that you've held the line though of like, Dr. Dave, we don't have a spot to put a filling. Like team members need to realize that it's okay. An ideal schedule for us, priority scheduling for our team does not mean we're doing a disservice to our patients. I have found that when we create chaos for our team, that does not give a good patient experience, nor does it give a good team experience. And so really being okay to say, hey, this doesn't, like we have this spot available for you.   versus it being like, let me try and shove a filling in and we're gonna try and make this schedule work. Like schedule should not be work in my opinion, they should flow. Yes, you need to be creative. Yes, you need to look for those puzzle pieces and fill them in. Be proactive, make those extra phone calls. Don't just wait for the patient to show up, like proactively call, look through. Guys, I don't know if you know, but on unscheduled treatment plans, you literally can filter by procedure code. And so you can actually go look like if I know I need a crown, I can sort   The Dental A Team (17:04.694) my list of unscheduled treatment and find all the crown patients and contact those patients. Again, I'm looking for a certain puzzle piece. I'm not going to just get any puzzle piece. I want that certain one so I can make those strategic phone calls maximize my time. So Dave, I love that you built this out. I love that you shared and I love that you really prioritized your team and what you guys wanted. And then we're able to fill the patients in. Like I said, like puzzle pieces trying to make a beautiful schedule and it really is doable.   It just requires, I think the whole team to be on board and bought in. Otherwise it gets pure mayhem. Like if one person's doing it, but the other person's not in the front office, it gets wild. And so everybody needs to play by, by the rules. And I think there's great success. Any other tips you've got on priority scheduling, Dave, you've shared so much already. thank you. mean, I got, I got a handful. can, we can all right. I think, I think another thing to take into account here, just like with everything else, you got it. You got to take it with a grain of   You know, if you have a long established patient who can only come at 8 a and needs a filling, the patient in. Like, know what saying? You got to give your team that flexibility and that leeway and saying like, look, this is this. And just kind of, they give me a heads up of like, it's so -and -so, like we had to do it. like, okay, like it is what it is. Like, you know, change it up, do this. Like, you know, we're going to make it work because at the end of the day, our patients are our priority. You know, as much as like it's great if we can go ahead and word ninja things and shift everybody around and everything like   That's not always possible. That's not always, you know, the thing in every practice. I mean, it's, it's, it's nice if we can, we can do it, but you know, there has to be leeway and flexibility. And the only thing I ask of everybody is, okay, just tell me what's up and change the, blocks, shift some stuff around. So things match up. So it's not like, you know, we have like an odd like wall or like, you know, nothing going on. And, know, at the end of the day, depending on where you are in your, your practice life cycle and what's going on sometimes having.   blocked out space and time is actually really helpful to help, you know, get emergencies and grow things and stuff like that. So for sure, not always the end of the world. I could use more time sitting at my desk. I know, but then we feel like as team members, our doctor goes to what I call like the black hole, like you guys going to your office. I'm like, then I'll never get you back. but I think it's one of those pieces. Also, I think you brought up a good point. I think so many offices forget to find space for emergencies. cause guess   The Dental A Team (19:28.12) there will always be emergencies and emergencies can actually be super great in a schedule. I actually loved emergencies because they're great same day treatment. They're great opportunities. It's great to be able to help patients. And so I think that that's a good piece to actually build into your schedule template of where you actually want these emergencies to go. Guess what guys, when somebody's in pain, they will come wherever you tell them they can come if they're truly in an emergency situation.   They do not need your 8 a They do not need your 4 p Like if they are truly in pain, they will show up at whatever time you have. So I think it's very paramount to get those emergencies in there as well because that will throw an entire day for your team if there's not emergency space in that schedule to fill it in. So agreed with you. I don't like long walls, but I definitely like to plan for those emergencies when we would like to see   Yeah, I think it's super, super helpful. I think at the end of the day, also something that I've always been a big proponent of, what we consider an emergency appointment in our office is very rarely kind of like, Hey, this is what's going on here. Subscription or let's reschedule. It's kind of, it's really along the lines of if it's something that we can do without, you know, having any type of negative impact on our other patients and the flow of everything else, we're going to do it. I've been big proponent of   If the tooth needs to come out and wants to come out, there's no way we're not going to work that in because if you do this for a while, it doesn't take that long. Somebody can understand and be pretty patient and say, hey, I'm going to work in the schedule. I definitely want to help you out. have a lot else going on, but if you can hang out for half an   you know, 40 minutes, I got to take care of a couple of the things first. I will get you all set today rather than like, yeah, let's schedule you in, you know, two weeks. And then, you know, by that point, you know, there's still in the schedule, but they saw somebody else and, know, you have, same thing with, with, know, a crown if you can, I mean, why not? Like, you know, prep it, temp it, you know, take your impression, get everything all set, take your scan, you know, make the crown, whatever you do in your office. Like if you can work it in the schedule, if somebody's patient,   The Dental A Team (21:32.45) Like why not get that done the same day? think that's doing that is what, you know, I feel like really built our practice in the first couple of years that I was here. I love doing stuff like that. I love trying to help somebody out the same day. People really appreciate it. And that's what's really going to build goodwill. Exactly. That's, that's raving fans right there. Yeah. Yeah. I love same day treatment, same day treatment. I heard a quote once I said, what's the most productive chair in a practice. And it was an empty chair.   because that's the chair that you can flip. Like don't prefer to have my schedule have empty chairs. But let's be honest, like that same day treatment is always very, very, very beneficial for patients. Like I feel like that's a VIP customer service that we can offer. And so I love that you've built a culture of a team that if we can do it, we will say yes. And we're always looking for how we can say yes versus how we can't say yes. I know I've shared this with so many practices   There's the I just say with same day treatment, it's all about timing. You've got to be really quick and we've got to be able to say yes, because a window is only so big and it only lasts for so long with same day treatment opportunities. So being proactive and like let's say yes sooner than later, because honestly, if I can have the patient say yes and have the financials done while Dr. Dave's in the chair with me, he can get the patient numb that can move along a lot quicker. I can be taking all of my prelim work and with crowns, I think it's also important   especially for same day, you don't have to do A to Z the entire way. Like you don't have to complete the crown if we don't have time. Like you said, you could temp a crown and bring them back and you can mill it and seed it. If you've got time to mill it and seed same day, fantastic. But I think especially with those same day emergencies, like say yes, but realize we can do, we don't have to do the entire process. We can still get them out of pain as other alternatives to being able to say yes. I know we did same day crowns all the time.   but I also had very minimal chairs and we were always like very packed with all those chairs. So instead of like taking up a huge chunk of time while that crown was milling, we would tempt them sometimes and send them out and bring them back for a crown seat on a day where I had space for that. It wasn't my preferred, but that was a way we were able to help a lot more patients within the confines of our practice. We only had five chairs. I was running three doctor chairs and they were all jam packed cause I had Eddas.   The Dental A Team (23:55.246) It's like little mini dentists all the time. So I was literally implant, implant crown. So there wasn't a lot of space on chair time because I had another surgery coming right after, but there's still like, wanted to paint that picture because no matter what your practice is, you can still say yes to same day and train your team to say yes and say it quickly. That way you guys can help more patients same day. Yeah. So, so, so a couple of things with that. Yeah. If you can expand your facility to be able to accommodate things,   one, it makes things very easy and stuff like that. Like I don't, I don't, I won't, almost never make temporaries because of that, because we have an extra chair and stuff like that. the crazy thing with that is, you know, you're going to spend a lot of money on doing things. You're going to be like me who, has, you know, walls being knocked down and your office is a dust storm and has to have to stand in your attic to do a podcast. War zone right now.   But, know, I'm a little nuts. I think it's worth it. You know, that's all part of it. I think the other thing that, you know, I really want to make sure that we clarify is don't say yes if you can't say yes. Like don't make it a not good experience for, you know, your other patients, respect everybody. Don't rush yourself. You know, do what you can do within the confines of things. It's just my philosophies of, you know, let's try and make it work if we can to try and help somebody out within reason.   Hello, Dental A Team listeners. What would it take for you guys to just completely and utterly change your practice? Like truly, if you think about it, because for me, I know oftentimes it's just having somebody right by my side, pushing me along, holding me accountable, having somebody to spin ideas off of. And honestly, that's all it takes most of the time for us to go from good to great. Usually it's taking the knowledge that we learn and actually executing   That's why I would love to invite you to join our Platinum Virtual, where we do a coaching call, a Zoom team training. We invite you to our community and we just really dive deep with you. We're that partner right by you to help you go from good to great. So if you're wanting to join, take your practice to the next level and you know it's time for you to implement, execute, and go to that next level, email us Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And I would be so excited to welcome you as our newest Platinum Virtual member. Can't wait to see you there.   The Dental A Team (26:15.636) Agreed and thank you for that clarifying because the worst thing that I see is people are like, okay, we're going to say yes to same day treatment, but that ends up messing up the schedule for all the other patients that were scheduled that were coming that came on time. And that also is not VIP care. So you're right. It's kind of this nice healthy balance. but I have found that team members who are, are quicker team members that have the philosophy of, will say yes as often as possible within reason.   they just think quicker. Like I know we could have a crown prep set up within like less than like two, two ish minutes. Like I was like, doc, numb, I'll have this whole room set up for you and come right back. And so I think it's that mindset of, know I need to move quick cause I don't want to throw the rest of my schedule off. But like you said, never, ever, ever compromising care. Cause I think some people can get caught up in that and then dentistry is not as good. And that, doesn't actually serve the patient longterm either.   You want to talk about the other side of priority scheduling? Yes, I do. Take it away, Dave. Hygiene. Yes. All So this is something you probably have a better scope and handle on me. I'm pretty sure you guys were the ones who a long time ago started kind of pushing me more towards the lines of make sure that you put blocks in for new patients and   You know, you could do separate blocks. You could do the same kind of blocks. You just need space to be able to help somebody. The worst thing in the world is like, hey, you have this crazy disease, but guess what? We'll see in three months to try and address the situation. Super important, right? It great. It makes me laugh every time. Every time. Like, man, you've got this like terrible disease. We've got to take care of it. I can't see you for six months. Cool. All right. I mean, it sounds real serious. Yeah. Yeah. Like we just told somebody their teeth are going to fall out of their head.   and we can't see them for a while. Wonderful. No, it does not go well ever. Yeah. So I think that's one big thing. I think that is one of the handful of things that really helped us grow as far as being able to get more new patients was actually being able to see them and fit them in the schedule rather than kind of like we have this jam -packed hygiene schedule of one prophy after the other. You know, it helps create variety, helps mix things up, it helps grow things in your office.   The Dental A Team (28:32.398) last couple of months of kind of not having those spaces have really helped me realize, you know, yeah, you can go from seeing on average 50 new patients a month to 20 when you don't have any space to put anybody and you don't have the providers to see them. it sucks for sure. I think that that's people always ask me that, Kiera, how many new patient spots do I hold? And I say, go look at your schedule, see how many new patients you've got. And you've got to, as a minimum, have that many spaces in your   that are held for these new patients to come through because they will keep calling. And new patients, if you don't have space, they might wait for you, but they also might go somewhere else, depending upon the dynamics around your practice. If you're in a busy area that's got lots of dentists, they're probably not going to wait that month or two to come see you. And so I agree. I typically say, guys, build it out, however many spaces you need for new patients. Let's get that   And then also get creative because I know there's some people who listen and they think, well, new patients should go in the doctor's schedule. And there's other people that think new patients should go in the hygiene schedule. And what I will say is both ways work great. They both can. I would say if you don't have any new patient spaces in your hygiene schedule, but you did block them, like I'm going to give you this caveat. If you're not blocking them, start blocking first. But if you are, sometimes some doctors will have those new patients come through on the doctor's side, make it a shorter appointment and have that hygienist come in and.   you can swap it out while they're doing an exam. But that way you can still see those patients on the doctor side for a much shorter appointment and just let them. I think some good verbiage on that is like hey, Doctor Dave loves his new patients so much and he wants to make sure he sees you. So we're going to get you in on his schedule and something opens up for you to get a cleaning same day. Fantastic, but we want to make sure we get you in that way. Doctor Dave can see you find out what kind of cleaning you need and that's a great way if you have that. But then next   block more spaces and people say, Kiera, we're booked out for six months, hygiene's booked out for six months. And I literally tell you guys, start putting blocks in today. There is space where patients have fallen off and start holding all of those spots as they do fall off for new patients to come through and then get those blocks in for six months. as you are scheduling out the next six months, you're making your life better in the future than not. So Dave, how do you guys do it? Do you hold it only for new patients or do you do new patients and SRPs? What's kind of been your magic?   The Dental A Team (30:53.208) formula you've found in your practice? I can't say that we have the magic here. It's a work in progress. I think we've kind of just been doing longer blocks to accommodate for both. I think something that I've been toying with more so lately to kind of get to your other point of like, you put them in the doctor's schedule, the hygiene schedule, stuff like that? If we're doing a good job,   in the front office and really asking the right questions. And once again, that goes with a grain of salt because my front office team does do a good job and they do ask the right questions, but sometimes, you know, the patients will tell us something that's insane and doesn't really match. But the point I'm trying to get to here is like, if somebody hasn't been in like 10 years and they're in their, you know, forties, fifties, and they, you know, they're giving you signs that very likely it's, you know, a potential train wreck, probably not gonna do   the hygiene visit that day anyway. But if you have an hour in hygiene and said to that hour and a half, like why not just go ahead and help them form that relationship with the hygienist and say, know, we're going to go ahead. It sounds like there may be a lot going on. We're going to get you in. We're going to take a full set of records. The doctor's going to come in and you know, you guys are going to work through kind of putting the plan together and we're going to go ahead and go from there. But you know, with the, with what it sounds like, you know, your situation is we really want to make sure that we, take a pause here.   We take a second, we make sure we evaluate everything well and then go from there. Now, mean, they very well, their periodontal status could be perfectly fine. It happens, you know, where that's the situation. But, you know, at the end of the day, it's not something where somebody is expecting like, my God, I'm gonna go ahead and do that. Most patients who haven't been in 10 years, they know they haven't been in 10 years. They expect things to be a little bit of a mess. Sometimes,   they're perfectly fine, you that happens, but at least, you know, it wasn't something where their expectation was like, my God, I was going to get everything done. And like, this is all you guys did. Right. And I think, like you said, the biggest piece I hope everybody's taking from here is it's all about how you say things and you manage people's expectations. And so I think it's really important to, help them realize like, we're going to take great care of you. we're going to do a great, thorough exam on you and we're going to come up with a game plan together. And I would say to the hygienist.   The Dental A Team (33:16.334) I know that sometimes patients come through that we think are going to be perio and I know it's not the most ideal timeframe where you're like, I only have 45 minutes and I really need an hour and a half. What I would say that I've seen with lots of other hygienists and Brittany and Dana both would attest to this, they're both hygienists. I think hygienists back to our same day treatment, let's see what you could do. Is there a zone that you could do? Could you do a debridement? Could you do maybe just one quad? Could   and start looking for those things and seeing how could you say yes to help this patient? Because at the end of the day, you have 45 minutes. And if we send them away and try and get them scheduled back, yes, that can happen. But at the same time, could you maximize their time and your chair time to help that patient out, at least in a small way? Now get it. I understand insurance is crazy. And you're going to give me all these other reasons that things can't work. I will tell you that there are a lot of opportunities that we could do. So look to see what could you do during that time frame. And is there a way that you   you can help this patient out so you're maximizing their time and your time as well. Yeah, think you bring up some really great points and some things that more so recently we've been thinking about and pivoting towards. It used to be like a big waste of time, honestly, in our hygiene schedule. Like we have an hour and a half hygiene appointment, they need scaling or root planning. let's set this up. Like, are they gonna come back? When's it gonna be? Rather than, hey,   you know, this is what the situation is at this point, the patient is as bought into it. I'm most concerned about this section over here. Let's go ahead and let's get you started at least here. Let's get things moving in the right direction and let's get you set up, you know, in two weeks to go ahead and go ahead and do these two areas. And then we'll finish off with, with this one rather than just kind of like waiting and hoping, I got to do like one half now and run half the other day. Like, let's say it's going to be, you know, two to three visits, like let's show them like, Hey, that this area is that's worse.   We're going to focus on just that by itself. mean, I don't, you know, I think if you explain things in the appropriate way, that builds a lot more value than kind of like somebody not coming, you know, somebody coming back one more time, like, great, they're still investing the same amount, but it shows that you're investing more in them in a sense, because you're going to potentially, you know, spend extra time. For sure. And I think that that's just the piece of like, I guess you said that they have an hour and a half, but they need quads of   The Dental A Team (35:36.11) Just do something. You have the time, so please do something. And I know you're going to say, but Kiera, insurance only covers this. Guys, I want to put out a really big piece. Like most periopatients have more going on than just SRPs. So odds are they're probably going to max their insurance anyway. I'm 99 .9 % sure that almost every single periopatient has more going on. And at the same time, I'm going to work with that patient financially to make sure that it actually works and we do maximize their benefits. But please,   Like don't waste an hour of that patient's time in your chair time because we're so concerned about insurance. Like there are a thousand ways that we can work around that. Because at the end of the day, like let's not let insurance dictate what we do for our patient. Let's make sure we're taking great care of our patients as well. So I love it, Dave. I'm glad you and I are on the same page. If you guys could have seen my face when he said, I don't have to have, I was like, my gosh, like don't even say that. Find the way to say yes, because like you said,   You just told this patient they have ferio disease and you have some time that you could start in an area like let's take care of them and let's see how we could say yes versus not, especially where hygiene is booked out so far. Hygienists are hard to find. We would love to have an ideal schedule, but it's like how could we maximize the hygienist time and the patient's time today without compromising care? So it's always with the caveat of like let's not compromise care, but could we say yes in some of these areas? And I think if we really were all honest with ourselves.   we could say yes more often than we probably do and we can help our patients. That's at least my thoughts. I think that's the big thing too. I think, you know, we, a lot of times we'll make a lot of excuses in situations and sometimes they're valid, sometimes they're not. I think really at the end of the day, everybody being on the same page in the sense of kind of what is best for the patient, how we want to do things and what our philosophies and mentalities are about, you know, patient treatment   and care. And, you know, at end of the day, this also takes the right team members. If somebody wants to just kind of be there, punch the clock, mail it in and gets annoyed that like, my God, like, you know, just do the other two sealants, you still have half an hour, like don't bring them back and kill time and schedule. That's not the right team member. And sometimes that's hard.   The Dental A Team (37:58.482) know, sealants, floor, like those are all opportunities that taking impressions or scans for night guards, like taking scans for ortho. Like there are so many ways that we could maximize that hour. And I will say, hygienist, I will go to bat for you all day long to protect your hour appointment. With that said, I will also go to bat that hygienist. You do maximize that hour and you are productive with that hour as well. You look for opportunities that you can do same day as often as possible. And I agree with you, Dave, I think it's important.   to have the right team members. So I'm curious from your stance, like you've hired a lot of people, you've transitioned a lot of people. How do you, I mean, you're hiring new people now. What are some tips that you've found to possibly like set the tone that this is our culture, this is what we do to find these people that are like, yes, like drivers, gunners, like I am totally going to say yes. Any tips you've got on how to find those people and create that culture? I wish I had like a real good answer for you because I mean, I could use that knowledge and so every other.   you know, office owner in the entire country. I mean, I think, I think it's really, it's, very difficult right now. It's always difficult in general, honestly. I think, you know, as I kind of do some soul searching on the, topic here and really kind of, you know, really kind of dive into it there, just being very upfront about kind of what your practice is, what your expectations are, and really kind   weighing it all out there, not being afraid. Like, my God, am I going to scare this person? Because at the end of the day, if they come in with the preconceived notion of like, hey, this is going to be like this, and then like they see, yeah, shit, this is like very intense. I've been trying, I've tried the last five episodes, not to swear. Like biggest like potty mouth ever. I'm impressed. mean, was the editor some work to do here. No, it's because we're talking about team and the frustration of team. It just comes out. I get it. I've definitely -   I might have said a word or two myself. You're already. That's the thing. You can ask Tip how much I swear when I talk to her. This is like every other word is something there. Anyway, not to get sidetracked. I mean, I think it's a matter of really setting the tone and the expectation of, this is how we are. This is our practice. Because at the end of the day, we've always been able to find pretty good people based on how they interact with each other and what our culture is like and everything like that. But if somebody doesn't want to really   The Dental A Team (40:21.186) work and really get everything going and stuff like that. It's, well, you know, at the end of the day, we're, buying time until it's going to transition out. Totally. Cause for us, it's really important to, to work hard, to grow, to learn, to spend the time doing training, to sit through all the meetings that we do, to, try and really, you know, work on, work on you as a person and a part of the team. But if somebody just kind of says like, my God, this is amazing for a year. And then it's kind   wreaking havoc and punching the clock for another year, that actually had more of a negative impact than a positive. Well, for sure, because it sets the tone to the team that everybody else can do this. I remember another fantastic quote, guys. I'm not quoting all over here, but I don't know who says it. So go find out who said this. This was not me. But they said, the worst thing that a manager or a leader could do to good team members. So the worst thing we can do to good team members is tolerate poor performance from another team member.   Because what it does is it just tells those great team members like hey, we actually don't care We're going to allow this other team member just to be a punch like a clock puncher where I expect you to stay super like proactive so I think when I I Heard that I thought as a manager like that is my job I need to make sure all of my team members are at the same level understanding that everybody has their own levels as well But I agree with you Dave. I think that that's the biggest thing I found I remember when I was hiring and we   late hours. I used to try and like sugarcoat it and I'd be like, yeah, so like maybe. And what I realized is they came in expecting not to work these evening hours. Then all my team that was there that was working evening hours were livid. That new person hired gets off at five o 'clock and they're here till seven or seven thirty. And so I just found like, just throw your dirty laundry out there. But I don't think culture is dirty laundry. I think that's a hey, it's kind of like dating. And I'm like, hey, this is who I am and I'm not going to sugarcoat who I   does this vibe and jive with you? And if it doesn't, like high five, you're gonna find somewhere that does vibe and jive with you. But we're an office that is like super passionate about growing ourselves. We're an office that says yes to same day treatment all the time. We're the office that busts our buns all day long and we love it we get a freaking high on it and we all wish we could wear roller skates so we could actually see more patients. Like does that lifestyle work for you? And then also give me an example of how you've done this at your past practice. And   The Dental A Team (42:42.808) quick things that are going to put them on the spot. As I found like rogue questions, people have, they've got answers for you, but I'll ask them on the spot. Like one of my favorite questions is, what's the worst thing anybody would say about you at your last practice and why? And people are like, but they have to give me an answer right then and there. And I'm going to find out also a trick question is what's your biggest pet peeve of other team members and what they tell   is what they are because we only see in other people who we are. So that's kind of anything. If people say, I can't stand lazy team members, odds are this person's probably going to be a lazy team member. Not all the time. It's not like a fail proof question. But some of those things I think can really help. But like you said, Dave, I think it's so paramount to say this is who our team is. Also have your team members interview them and see what they think. because   when a person comes in and they see the whole team is jiving, the whole team does same day treatment, the whole team is this way. One, they're either going to level up and rise to that occasion or two, they'll be like, this is not what I want to do. And that's okay. Let them find their dream job and you find your dream employee as well. I that's, I think that's a big part of it. I think another thing is, you look at the end of the day,   I am a lot of the personality of my office and it took me maybe a long time to understand that and be okay with saying that and just be like, no big deal, but that's it. So if they are not really okay with how intense and passionate I am about certain things and this and that, and they're gonna not be happy with like, okay, we need to do this. That's just not gonna work, sorry.   And we kind of fool ourselves and we kind of buy time because we worry about like, what are we going to do? Like being shorthanded, but I mean, been shorthanded for like three years now. mean, it's always that fear of the unknown, but I'm like, guys, we've actually been in the unknown. You just forgot that you've lived there for quite a while. Like it's totally fine. Don't stress. I love that you just said that Dave, cause I think so many doctors, so many managers, I'm like, know thyself and be free and don't be afraid of it because guess what? They're going to see your true colors.   The Dental A Team (44:50.654) They're going to see what it's like and I'd much rather present exactly how I am I tell people I'm like do you want to work with me? I'm a pretty intense boss I have the highest standards you will ever come across and I don't sugarcoat if that doesn't jive and vibe with you It's cool. Let's high five and move on because that's what I will expect of you and then Don't be afraid and I say this because I just had to do it myself Don't be afraid that if people aren't performing to the level you want and you can see they're writing on the wall it's time to have that conversation sooner than later and don't be afraid   of what your team will do. Cause I promise you, your team will like, they'll rise up, they'll figure it out. They'll pivot with you if they're the right team members, but don't, don't hold onto team members longer than you know, should. Yeah. think another thing also is, know, as things have changed and, now we're there, there are people who are coming into dentistry who don't really know much about dentistry or what it is. I found   probably most helpful in one of our most recent hires, which is our new assistant who assists me, who's been with us for the last two months. Before she even came in for an interview, I spent about half an hour on the phone trying to tell her how bad of a job being a dental assistant is. And really just kind of saying, look, at the end of the day, it is very difficult work. You may feel underappreciated because it's so   and days are hard and what we do is sometimes thankless. And you know, there's a lot that goes into that. I need you to understand that before you even walk in the door. If you're not going to be okay with that, it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate you. doesn't mean our patients don't appreciate you. That is just what happens. Right. So if somebody's not going to be okay with that, then like, this is not like a new career path to try and like hop into.   I think if somebody understands that and they they're passionate about things they want to learn they want to go they want to create a new thing great let's do it I will teach you more here than you'll learn anywhere else. Which I think is brilliant and it's funny because Liz she is my coach and she actually interviews all of our consultants and Liz and I are a good duo I like people to like me and Liz is more direct because she has no skin in the game and she knows the skin in the game is my happiness and stress level.   The Dental A Team (47:03.534) And Liz will literally talk to consultants and tell them the worst terrible experiences. She's like, are you OK to be on the road 80 % of the time away from your family? That means four out of the five days. Are you like? How do you feel getting stuck in an airport having to spend the night? Your flights are canceled because of weather and you can't get to your office like you don't eat for three days and I'm like, Liz, don't make and she's like no Kiera. I'd rather make this sound so awful and see if they're still willing to have that grit to come back. She's like because at the end of the day.   A consultant has to have grit. They have to have pivot. They have to have that stamina. And I'd much rather have it be like the most like horrifying interview. And if they're like, yep, no problem. Like Britt, Britt, haven't met her yet, Dave, but Britt is somebody like, it's fine. I actually ended up getting stuck in another country because my friend had appendicitis. Like I'm totally good. And I'm like, that's even like more than I've got in my travel, travel life. She's like, I'm totally good. So I think it's important, like you said, really lay it out of not the best highlight reel.   of the job, but the worst highlight reel and see if they still want the job because expectations are clear. It's hard in general. It's hard for anybody to get behind when it's kind of been just hard to find people, you know, but I think I do have a good feeling that things are starting to turn. I do feel like there's a lot more people out there who are looking for jobs now and a lot more wonderful people. feel much more positive about it than I haven't in a long time here. So I think it's a good   for everybody to be okay with sacking up a little bit more and feeling okay with that and being more straightforward about that. I think it's a hard thing for anybody to do in life in general. It's not really my personality, but I think it's important to go ahead and do that for the greater good there. For sure. Again, this quote, I do know this was from Keith Cunningham and he said, as a CEO, do your job.   And that has like hit me like a knife because while Dave, yes, that is not fun. It's not a fun conversation for anyone to have as a CEO, as an owner, as an office manager, people that are interviewing that are hiring. It is your job to make sure you hire and hire really well. So yes, it's an uncomfortable conversation, but that uncomfortable conversation is going to weed out a ton of people that wouldn't have lasted anyway. And I don't like to band -aid approach of like, let's just get somebody in and have a body versus it being.   The Dental A Team (49:27.246) No, I want somebody who's here with me for the next five years and they're going to like go through the highs and the lows and they're going to be awesome. So I think you've just like pivoted on so many fun ideas, Dave of like number one, the priority scheduling guys. So building that schedule out with doctor, office manager, associate, making sure that you guys build an ideal schedule and then having kind of the parameters for your front office of how often do we hold these blocks and when we need to do a pivot change, for example, that 8 a patient who needs those filling times at 8 a   to be able to shift those blocks around and really viewing the schedule like a puzzle and we're trying to fit perfect puzzle pieces and realizing we're ninja it, love the patient. Then going into same day treatment and how you're able to do that, let's say yes more often and look for that. Then going into hygiene and holding those hygiene new patient blocks. So get those new patient and SRP blocks in there. Let's make sure we have space to get that perio and also having the mindset   Hey, if I can do this, let's do it today. Let me find ways that I could say yes to maximize this patient's time in my chair time. And then moving all the way into making sure you have the right team that has that same mindset with you. And yes, culture shifts are not easy. You might today be like, I want to have the practice like Dave, but I'm not there. Dave, I know you would attest to this. Dave's not there. You didn't start here though. not there. You didn't start there. Dave's not there yet. It's a work in progress.   And I love I always feel like I listen to podcasts a lot of time, like, my God, this person has to figure out. No, that's not the thing. Like, you know, I'll give you bits and pieces. There's a lot of stuff that is not good. But the point is, if I shared that, like as the only things we shared, this would be a very like depressing podcast. At the end of the day, you know, you want to go ahead and like share what to aspire for, what's worked out well. knowing like, look, at end of the day, there's it's hard for   Like, and there's a lot more that goes into things. And you know, you could sit here and you could listen to Kiera and myself for the last 40 minutes or whatever and think like, my God, like, you know, be able to all figure it out. No, nobody does. No, they don't. Don't try and get better. Exactly. And that's what I was trying to paint the picture of Dave didn't start here three years ago. This has been a work in progress the whole time. And what I would hope is you guys at least start somewhere today, start making your tomorrow's better by some of these tips that we have. I don't care what you choose to implement. I don't care how you choose to implement.   The Dental A Team (51:44.61) I don't care if you choose to implement this quarter or if you put it off to the next quarter, but I just would say make sure you have it scheduled with yourself, make your practice better and do something. Because every day, like Dave said, it's a work in progress every day, but let's make sure we're progressing towards where we want to go rather than just staying stagnant, which is ultimately going backwards. So Dave, I love your mind. I love that you are a dentist, that you'll share these things. I love that   as dentists are willing to put in the hard work and actually show up and do your job. I think it's very inspiring and I love having on the podcast. You inspire me. So thank you, Dave, as always. I just truly appreciate you. Thank you. I appreciate you a lot too. This has been wonderful. Awesome. All right, guys. Well, I encourage each of you to take something today, go implement it, make your tomorrow a better, better than it is today. And as always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.   The Dental A Team (52:37.582) That wraps it up for another episode of the Dental A Team Podcast. Thank you so much for listening and we'll talk to you next time.

No quadragésimo segundo episódio do Estudos Medievais, recebemos o professor Santiago Barreiro, da Universidade Católica da Argentina, para uma entrevista a respeito das sagas. As sagas são um tipo de literatura em prosa produzida majoritariamente nos séculos XIII e XIV, especialmente na Islândia, mas também em outras partes da Escandinávia. Foram escritas na língua nórdica antiga e podem ser divididas em diversos tipos, como sagas de reis, sagas de bispos, sagas lendárias, sagas de islandeses, entre outras. Neste episódio, o convidado aborda as origens e inspirações para essa literatura, das tradições orais às influências escritas, bem como trata do público-alvo, dos autores e de possibilidades e perspectivas de estudo dessas fontes. Por fim, a historicidade das sagas é debatida, assim como as influências deixadas por essa literatura.

Das allermeiste, das wir über die nordische Mythologie wissen, stammt aus einer Quelle: Der Edda von einem gewissen Snorri Sturluson. Wobei man korrigieren müsste: Streng genommen aus den Eddas. Denn es gibt da einerseits eine Lieder-Edda und andererseits eben eine Prosa-Edda und nur Letztere stammt vom genannten isländischen Schreiber Snorri (wobei die gegenseitige Beeinflussung bis heute diskutiert wird). Die in der Edda beschriebene nordische Mythologie ist heute jedenfalls nicht zuletzt dank Marvel beliebt wie schon lange nicht mehr. Was nun wirklich eine gute Sache ist. Denn für lange Zeit waren die Fans dieser Mythologie nicht gerade die sympathischsten Leute ...Melde dich hier für den Newsletter an und erfahre hier mehr über den Déjà-vu Club.Die alten Geschichten, die uns nicht zuletzt die Edda überliefert – die Erzählungen der germanischen Götter und Helden – sind nämlich viel zu lange von vor allem einer Gruppe vereinnahmt worden: Von Neonazis und anderem völkischen Gesocks. Die stehen eben einfach auf die alten Wikinger und ihre Symbole. Sie lassen sich Runen tätowieren, ihre bevorzugte Kleidungsmarke hat den Gott Thor gleich im Namen und mit all dem trugen sie lange als fast die einzigen Teile der nordischen Mythologie vor sich her.

From gnomes to kobolds, dvergr to hobs, it's time to gather up our mining lamps and shed some light on the very shadowy history of goblins...Part of the "Three Ravens Bestiary" series, we start by chatting through ways in which, across the last two centuries, we have come to think of goblins as distinct fae creatures, separate from elves, pucks, and boggarts. Yet, if we look back a little further then we soon discover that the words we use to define these creatures have not only common roots but common narrative origins.After discussing beliefs surrounding the Ancient Egyptian dwarf god Bes and the Greco-Roman origin story for all fae creatures, which involves a deformed fire god, an infamous Classical witch cult, and an important drunken donkey ride, we move forward in time to explore how Brythonic, Norman, Anglo Saxon and Norse cultures wrote about goblins, and how different words for the same thing led to 18th and 19th century definitions that might leave us scratching our heads. Because if a goblin can leave us 'elf shot' then is it not just an elf? And if goblins come from underground, are they not just faeries in the Celtic tradition? And if 16th century alchemists can make up new words for ancient mythical beasts, is it wrong to suggest new definitions years later that muddy the waters even further?It's a messy topic that roves from the Icelandic Eddas to Shakespeare, The Mabinogion to witch trials, but don't be afraid of the darkness. After all, the brightest of lights cast the longest of shadows. Many of which, we regret to inform you, do look quite phallic from certain angles...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

The Wayward Wanderer welcomes Shane Burley back to the pod for a dive into how Richard Spencer of AltRight fame is rebranding by stealing from Dune and Greek myth, fascists ditching Heathenry and the Eddas for highly antisemitic reasons, the infighting plaguing the non-Christian far-right, the Asatru Folk Assembly cannibalizing the Ku Klux Klan, and what Heathens, Pagans, and antifascists can do to fight fascism in 2024.

On analyse Les Chroniques Martiennes de Ray Bradbury, chef d'oeuvre littéraire de l'âge d'or de la science-fiction, avec Tristan Garcia en direct de la Bibliothèque de Lyon pour le festival des Mycéliades. Un classique intemporel Découvrir Les Chroniques Martiennes c'est lire une immense livre de science-fiction constitué de nouvelles humoristiques, nostalgiques, poétiques et tragiques. Ce "fix-up" de nouvelles inédites narre les relations complexes entre les colons terriens et les martiens. Les textes qui ont été écrit entre 1946 et 1950 pour des pulps ont été compilé ensuite en 1954. Difficile de ne pas être emporté par la plumme de Ray Bradbury qui n'hésite pas à dénoncer le racisme et la colonisation. "Les Chroniques martiennes", c'est quoi écrivait Ray Bradbury ? C'est Toutankhamon extrait de sa tombe quand j'avais trois ans, les Eddas islandais quand j'avais six ans et les dieux grécoromains qui me faisaient rêver quand j'avais dix ans : de la mythologie à l'état pur. Si c'était de la science-fiction bon teint, rigoureuse au plan technologique, elle serait en train de rouiller au bord de la route. " L'auteur écrivait également sur son recueil : « Je n'écris pas de science-fiction. J'ai écrit seulement un livre de science-fiction et c'est Fahrenheit 451, fondé sur la réalité. La science-fiction est une description de la réalité. Le fantastique est une description de l'irréel. Donc Les Chroniques martiennes ne sont pas de la science-fiction, c'est du fantastique. »

We begin the new year with a saga that has been compared to the works of Shakespeare himself. Not necessarily in a favorable light, but definitely compared. As we hinted in our 10th Anniversary episode, we're jumping into the sagas of Eyjafjörður in Northern Iceland (including Svarfdæla saga, Valla-Ljóts saga, Víga-Glúms saga, and Ljósvetninga saga). Up first is Svarfdæla saga, a surprisingly compelling (but sometimes frustrating) narrative that Jónas Kristjánsson described as "one of the greatest oddities among the sagas of Icelanders" in his book Eddas and Sagas (244). And if that doesn't sell you on it, then how about this fine quote from Fredrik Heinemann from his paper "Svarfdæla saga: The Norwegians and the Swedes," the saga efficiently characterizes minor and major figures with the deft brush strokes of saga writing at its best" (237). We think you'll agree after listening to this episode covering the first six chapters of the saga. In this episode, we meet two brothers called Thorolf and Thorstein. One is a typical saga golden boy, the other is a kolbítr. But if you know your saga tropes, you know that big things are in store for that lazy coal-eater. Along the way, we talk about other brothers we've met in the sagas, the sudden appearance of a castle in the narrative, and one of the more unbelievable candidates for Best Bloodshed we've seen in a while. We also get back to the listener runesack to address a question from our Discord page about Viking weddings. There's all that and more in our first episode of 2024. It's good to be back!

Historical Background: Odinism draws its inspiration from the ancient Germanic and Norse traditions that flourished in Northern Europe before the widespread adoption of Christianity, primarily during the Viking Age (8th to 11th centuries). These traditions involved a pantheon of gods and goddesses, including Odin, Thor, Freyja, and others, as well as various rituals and myths.Polytheism: Central to Odinism is a belief in a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each with distinct attributes and roles. Odinists honor and venerate these deities in their rituals and daily lives. Odin, often seen as the Allfather and chief deity, is a frequent focus of devotion.Ancestor Worship: Odinism places significant emphasis on honoring one's ancestors. Ancestors are considered a vital part of the spiritual and cultural heritage, and rituals are conducted to remember and connect with them. Ancestor worship strengthens the bonds between the living and the deceased.Nature and Animism: Odinism views the natural world as sacred and believes in animistic principles, seeing spirits or divine forces in natural elements like trees, rivers, and animals. Many Odinists emphasize a deep connection to nature and strive to live in harmony with it.Rituals and Blóts: Odinists perform various rituals and ceremonies to honor the gods, goddesses, and ancestors. One common ritual is the "blót," which involves offerings of food, drink, or other items to the deities and spirits. These rituals often take place during specific holidays or at significant life events.Sacred Texts: Unlike some other religions, Odinism does not have a single holy scripture like the Bible or Quran. Instead, it relies on ancient Norse sagas, Eddas (poetic and prose), and historical sources to reconstruct its beliefs and practices. These texts contain valuable insights into the mythology and worldview of the ancient Germanic peoples.Community and Kindred: Odinists often form local groups known as "kindreds" or "hearths" to practice their faith collectively. These communities provide support, share knowledge, and organize group rituals and celebrations.Ethical Framework: Odinism generally promotes a set of ethical principles that emphasize honor, courage, loyalty, and hospitality. These values are derived from the sagas and Eddas and guide the behavior of practitioners.Contemporary Revival: The modern revival of Odinism began in the 20th century, gaining momentum in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It has faced challenges, including accusations of racism and white supremacy in some fringe groups, which has led many Odinists to distance themselves from extremist ideologies and promote inclusivity.Diversity of Beliefs: It's essential to note that Odinism is not a monolithic belief system. Different individuals and groups within the movement may have varying interpretations of the ancient traditions and different levels of emphasis on historical accuracy, spirituality, and cultural identity.In this episode we dive right back into the conversation about the allegations made by the defense and what the prosecution said in response.(commercial at 14:12)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Richard Allen's attorneys blame Odinism for Delphi killings | wthr.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5080327/advertisement

On this episode of Greyhorn Pagans Podcast, we dive deep into the fascinating topic of giants. Our host, StijnFawkes, covers a wide range of subjects and explores the connections between various cultures, mythologies, and historical events. Thane Josh begins by discussing the concept of freedom in Dane law, drawing parallels to the United States Constitution and the right to bear arms. They ponder the benefits of maintaining small, decentralized societies to preserve freedom and avoid the pitfalls of past empires. Breaking societal taboos becomes another gripping topic as our host challenges listeners to question cultural norms. They express concerns about the prevalence of being 'bad' rather than 'good' in American culture and the clash between societal progressivism and traditional family values. From the Dark Ages' year of darkness to indigenous myths about encounters with Sasquatch, our host uncovers captivating stories and historical events that make us question the continuity of cataclysmic events throughout human history. We also explore the presence of giants in various mythologies, including the fascinating references found in Norse and Native American stories. With links to linguistic evolution and the concept of nobility, our investigation uncovers intriguing connections. But let's not stop there! StijnFawkes and guests takes us on a journey through time, exploring the presence of ancient giants and the interbreeding with species such as the Denisovans. We examine reports of exceptionally tall individuals in modern America and the curious discovery of red hair in ceremonial garments of Indian tribes. So, join us on this incredible episode of Greyhorn Pagans Podcast as we unravel the mysteries of giants, explore the resilience of ancient cultures, and contemplate the essence of family and societal progress.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour ! La mythologie scandinave, sur Nota Bene, on aime bien, je pense que vous l'aurez compris ! Il existe un certain nombre de textes qui en parlent, comme les Eddas ou les sagas. Le souci, c'est que ces textes ont été écrits par des chrétiens, et ce bien après la période viking. Alors à quel point retranscrivent-ils fidèlement leurs mythes ? C'est une excellente question, et Angela Baranes, spécialiste de la christianisation du Danemark y répondra bien mieux que moi. Alors je lui laisse donc la place, en attendant la sortie de l'entretien dans sa totalité dans quelques jours. Bonne écoute ! Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/notabenemovies.

Folge 54 führt die Kulturbanäuschen einmal mehr nach Asgard - vielleicht ist es das letzte Mal, denn in dieser Folge über nordische Mythologie geht es um Ragnarök, das Ende der Welt, das Ende der Gött*innen und vielleicht auch das Ende von Mythos und Wahrheit, wie wir es kennen. Denn Steffi und Sarah werden - vielleicht ja vielleicht nein - in Zukunft das Konzept ihres Mythologie-Podcasts ein wenig umstellen. Doch hört erstmal rein, in den Tod von Baldur und eine Zusammenfassung dessen, was uns die Eddas dieser Welt über Ragnarök zu berichten haben.

We have all seen images of axe-wielding Vikings raining destruction upon the shores of medieval Europe -- but who were these berserking Norsemen and where did they come from? What society produced them? How did the Scandinavians of the Viking age understand the world and their place in it? We examine the Norsemen's complex and mysterious cosmos described in the poems and prophesies of the Eddas, and compare it to the realities of survival, trade, kingship, politics, warfare, art, gender, and the family in Scandinavia from the eight to eleventh centuries, as reconstructed from surviving documents and the latest archaeology. Image: top section of the Hunninge picture stone, island of Gotland, Sweden, 8th century.

Horses play an important role in almost all cultures around the world, ancient as well as modern. In mythology they are usually depicted as powerful animals, associated with the gods or the spirit realm. Shamans often used them to travel to the otherworld and they serve as symbols of power, faith or the divine. In northern mythology horses have been associated with the gods and their names and deeds recorded in the Eddas. The most famous horse is of course Odin's eight-legged Sleipnir, the best of the horses but there are many more.Show Notes:https://equestrianadventuresses.com/2023/01/04/horse-podcast-ep-290-horses-in-northern-mythology/Support the show

How did the Viking Norse tell a story as important as Ragnarok (the end of the world) in poetry, and then in prose? What does prose require that poetry does not, and vice-versa, and especially when the accounts we have are separated by centuries of historical change, and religious conversion? In this third episode on Norse Mythology, I read the story of Ragnarok from the Prose Edda (dating to c. 1220), and then its corresponding section in the poem Voluspa (c. 1000) in the Poetic Edda. Each section is preceded by the story of the death of Odin's son, Balder, which in many ways precipitated Ragnarok. I also read from a later poem, Balder's Dreams (c. 1300). The translation of the Poetic Edda (and Balder's Dreams) that I read from is by Andy Orchard, and the Prose Edda by Anthony Faulkes. The commentary I read from throughout the episode comes from the translation and commentary by Ursula Dronke. The essential reference books on Norse myth that I will be using for this series are John Lindow's Norse Mythology: A Guide to the Gods, Heroes, Rituals & Beliefs, Rudolf Simek's Dictionary of Northern Mythology, and Andy Orchard's Cassell Dictionary of Norse Myth & Legend.

Previously, Loki took it upon himself to orchestrate the murder of the gods' golden boy, Baldr. In this episode, Loki's actions finally come back to haunt him as the gods exact their revenge. We'll discuss how this story differs between accounts in the two Eddas, and even dig in to a lesser-known part of the story preserved mainly in Gesta Danorum. And with this story out of the way, the stage has finally been fully set for Ragnarök.

En la Edad Media la doctrina dela persona de Cristo, no estaba en primer plano. Otros problemas tales como aquellos relacionados con la doctrina de la Gracia y el pecado, como también la obre de redención, ocupaban el primer plano de las discusiones teológicas que se daban al interior de los seminarios y escuelas Catedráticas y en los debates conciliares; Sin embargo podían señalar algunos aspectos sobresalientes de la cortina de Cristo que fueron formulados en la Eddas media por Tomas De Aquino.

In this episode, little Olaf Peacock travels to Norway and then to Ireland on a journey to meet his grandfather Myrkjartan. But how will he pay for it? Traveling overseas in the 10th century isn't cheap (it still isn't). How will King Myrkjartan and the Irish welcome the Icelandic son of the long lost Melkorka? And what familiar figure from Saga Thing past pops in for a visit and a quick marriage arrangement? There's only one way to find out! We also discuss the presumed burial mounds of Thord Goddi and Skallagrim Kveldulfsson. We explore John's fascination with the Campbell's monomyth and similarities between Olaf Peacock and Anakin Skywalker (yes, you read that correctly).  For the runesack, we address a funny little stick with strange scratches on it that leads us into yet another conversation about Celtic influences on medieval Icelandic culture and a chat about the origins of our names. There's a lot going on here! As promised, here's a pictures of Andy's great-grandfather, Andrew Kormos: And a picture of John's namesakes: [forthcoming???] As always, thank you to Jacob Foust (aka @skarphedin_illustrator) for another original illustration.

Combining traditional research on folklore and the Eddas with trancework and meditation techniques, Alice Karlsdóttir was able to rediscover the feminine side of the Norse pantheon and assemble working knowledge of 13 Norse goddesses for both group ritual and personal spirit work.Detailing her trancework journeys to connect with the goddesses, the author reveals the long-lost personalities and powers of each deity. She explores the Norse goddess Frigg the Allmother, wife of Odin, along with the 12 Asynjur, or Aesir goddesses, associated with her, such as Sjofn the peacemaker, Eir the Healer, and Vor the Wisewoman. She shares their appearances in the Eddas and Germanic mythology and explains the meanings of their names, their relationships to each other, and their connections to the roles of women in Old Norse society. She provides detailed instructions for invocations and rituals to call each goddess forth for personal and group spirit work. She also offers a comprehensive guide to ritual tranceworking to allow anyone to directly experience deities and spiritual beings and develop spirit-work relationships with them.

Thor and Odin are well known today, but are these images faithful to the source material? There's more to the Norse religious tradition than the bit of mythology that makes it into the movies. It's a complex system with a rich poetic tradition. Unfortunately, much is lost to time. The North Germanic pagan tradition is alive today, but things have gotten complicated.

In Folge 6 ihres Mythologie Podcasts begeben sich Steffi und Sarah nach Nordgermanien. Es geht um nordische Mythologie, bzw. um den nordgermanischen Schöpfungsmythos, um Marvel Comics, die Bachelorette, Asgard, Thor, Midgard, Odin und zwei Eddas. Nicht unbedingt in dieser Reihenfolge. ***Es ist vorerst der letzte Schöpfungsmythos, der bei Mythos und Wahrheit vorgestellt wird.*** Die Höhen und Tiefen der nordischen MythologieSteffi ist heute damit dran, Sarah und allen Zuhörenden die nordische Mythologie etwas näher zu bringen. Beziehungsweise den nordischen Schöpfungsmythos und die Grundlagen für das Verständnis aller übrigen nordischen Mythen. Zunächst geht es um die Überlieferungslage: Diese sieht leider etwas dürftig aus: Erst ab dem 11. Jahrhundert gibt es zusammenhängende schriftliche Quellen zur nordischen Mythologie, soll heißen zur vorchristlichen Religion der nordgermanischen Sprachfamilie. Leider sind die beiden Hauptquellen, die Lieder-Edda und die Prosa-Edda, beide auf Altisländisch geschrieben, zu diesem Zeitpunkt mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit schon wegen der voranschreitenden Christianisierung abgefälscht. Schade - aber leider nicht mehr zu ändern. Trotzdem soll in dieser Folge von Mythos und Wahrheit für interessierte Kulturbanaus*innen alles herausgeholt werden, was herauszuholen ist. Und das ist noch eine ganze Menge.Zwei Welten, beide an Ansehen gleich……entfachen neuen Hass aus altem Streit, im lieblichen Ur-Abgrund, dem Schauplatz unseres Stückes… so oder so ähnlich beginnt auch die gesamte nordische Mythologie, auch wenn man nicht gerade von neuem Hass aus altem Streit sprechen kann, sondern eher von Gegensätzlichkeiten. Aber von Anfang an: Am Anfang von Allem gibt es nur einen unendlichen tiefen Ur-Abgrund. Und hierin gibt es eine einzige Welt, eine Welt aus Feuer und Hitze: Muspelheim. Erst mehrere Generationen entsteht eine zweite, völlig entgegengesetzte Welt: Niflheim, eine Welt aus Wasser und Eis. Wie diese beiden Welten entstanden sind, ist unbekannt, doch aus Niflheim fließen nicht weniger als 11 Flüsse in den Abgrund hinunter, indem sie irgendwann gefrieren. Da immer mehr Wasser nachkommt, wandert langsam aber sicher eine Eisspitze hinaus nach Muspelheim, wo das Eis aufgrund der Hitze wieder schmilzt - und an diesem Schmelzpunkt, hervorgegangen aus den Ureigenschaften der ersten Welten, entsteht der mächtigste und größte und vor allem erste Tauriese aller Zeiten: Ymir. Ymir schläft und bekommt gar nicht mit, dass sich erstens unter seiner Achsel und zwischen seinen Beinen langsam aber sicher weitere Ries*innen bilden, er verschläft auch die Entstehung zwei weiterer Wesen. Zum ersten wäre da die riesige Urkuh Audhumla, die nach drei Tagen Existenz den Ur-Gott Buri aus dem Eis herausschleckt, während der Ur-Riese Ymir sich unterdessen immer noch schlafend von der nonstop aus ihr herausfließenden Milch ernährt. Ebendieser Buri gründet eine Familie mit einer anderen, aus Ymir hervorgegangenen Riesin und bekommt einen weiteren Sohn: Bor. Bor wiederum ist seines Zeichens Vater der ersten drei Asen (das vorherrschende Göttergeschlecht der nordischen Mythologie):Odin, Vili und VéDiese drei soon to be Obergötter (vor allem bekannt natürlich Odin, der alleroberste Gott) machen sich alsbald daran, Ymir den Ur-Riesen zu töten. Der wiederum verliert beim Sterben ein ganzes Meer von Blut, das sich im Ur-Abgrund sammelt und in dem alle anderen Ries*innen ertrinken. Alle außer zwei: Bergelmir, Enkel Ymirs, und seine Frau können entkommen und gründen Jötunheim, die Welt der Ries*innen, in der ab jetzt die (größtenteils) Gegenspieler der Gött*innen leben und auf Ragnarök, das Ende der Welt, warten werden. (Die nordische Mythologie, im Gegensatz zu anderen Mythologien, bietet uns nicht nur eine Geschichte zur Weltentstehung, sie liefert uns auch eine zum Weltuntergang: Ragnarök, die Götterdämmerung, ist der Zeitpunkt, an dem die Ries*innen gegen die Gött*innen aufbegehren werden und die Göttergeschlechter der Wanen und der Asen gemeinsam einen letzten Endkampf antreten). Ymirs Leichnam wird von Odin, Vili und Vé in das Meer aus seinem Blut geworfen und dann formen sie aus ihm eine weitere Welt: Midgard - unsere Erde. Diese schirmen sie gegen das Ur-Meer aus Ymirs Blut und gegen Angriffe der Ries*innen gut ab, bevor sie noch die ersten Menschen aus Baumstämmen schnitzen und dann über Bifröst, die Regenbogenbrücke, in ihre eigene, frisch gegründete Welt entschwinden: Asgard.Yggrasil, der WeltenbaumDie uns nun bekannten Welten (Muspelheim, Niflheim, Jötunheim, Midgard und Asgard) wurden bald nach der Gründung Midgards durch den Baum Yggrasil, den größten und stärksten aller Bäume, verbunden. Der Weltenbaum wird alle Zeitalter überleben. Auch Ragnarök. Nicht nur verbindet er alle existenten Welten miteinander, er bietet auch den merkwürdigsten Tieren ein Zuhause, zum Beispiel Nidhogg, dem Drachen, Ratatosk dem böswilligen Eichhörnchen, oder einem Adler, der von seiner Krone aus alles überblickt (und unzählige mehr). Yggdrasil und dessen Welten werden in drei Ebenen aufgeteilt: Zum einen die oberste Ebene, auf der neben Asgard auch Wanheim angesiedelt ist, die Heimwelt des Göttergeschlechts der Wanen. Genauso befindet sich dort auch Albenheim, Heim der Lichtalben, wunderschöner Lichtgestalten, vergleichbar mit Elben. Auf der mittleren Ebene von Yggdrasil befindet sich Midgard, Jötunheim und Muspelheim. Und auf der untersten Ebene der Weltenesche kennen wir bisher zwar nur Niflheim, die Welt aus Eis, dort angesiedelt ist aber auch Helheim, Unterwelt für alle Menschen, die nicht mutig im Kampf gefallen sind (im Kampf gefallene Krieger kommen nach ihrem Tod nach Valhalla, Odins Palast in Asgard, um dort an der Seite der Gött*innen gegen die Ries*innen zu kämpfen (Ragnarök mal wieder). Neben diesen beiden Welten ist auf der untersten Ebene zuletzt noch die neunte Welt angesiedelt: Schwarzalbenheim - ein Gegenentwurf zu Albenheim, in dem dunkle und hässliche Gestalten leben.Und diese neun Welten bilden nun die Grundlage für das gesamte Verständnis der nordischen Mythologie, aus der noch viele Mythen und Erzählungen in unserem Podcast folgen werden. Viel Spass mit dieser Folge und mit allen folgenden. (Bachelorette Spoiler: 34:09-38:15)

"Zālamana sakāmvārdi ir īss un aplam skaidrs ievads cilvēka nebeidzamajam dialogam ar Radītāju, nežēlīgajai Ījaba grāmatai. Ījabs izrādās Gudrības skolas labākais un tāpēc nelaimīgākais klausītājs, taču mācību gada noslēgumā taisni viņš saņems Radītāja visaugstāko novērtējumu. Es ar klāt ar savu grēku tarbu: "Lūdzu, uzklausi, mīļais Dieviņ! Liec man Ījaba skolu nobeigt attālināti. Centos čakli špikot no Gudrības un brīvstundās man patika staigāt pārī ar viņu. Stāvot pie tāfeles ieklausījos Tavu kalpu priekšā teiktajā un atbildēju skaidri un īsi “neieved mani kārdinājumā.  Zinu pavasaris nāks ar eksāmenu. Pasargā mani no lieka, kaut pelnīta kauna un pārāk liela, kaut derīga, pamācoša kauna."" Apgāda “Zinātne” iedibinātajā sērijā “Literatūras pieminekļi” drīzumā iznāks “Zālamana sakāmvārdi” - viens no interesantākajiem senebreju literatūras pieminekļiem valodas, sižetu un vēstījuma ziņā, Bībeles, Vecās Derības tekstos tie atpazīstami kā Salamana pamācības. Nosaukumu “Zālamana sakāmvārdi” devis tulkotājs Uldis Bērziņš (1944-2021), un viņa, vēl šī gada februārī rakstīti, ir ievadvārdi gaidāmajai grāmatai, un nu jau – citēti – arī raidījuma  ievadā. Raidījumā Augstāk par zemi stāsts par gaidāmo grāmatu “Zālamana sakāmvārdi” ir ne tikai par notikumu - Vecās Derības teksta sekulāra tulkojuma iznākšanu, bet arī par tulkotāja Ulža Bērziņa grandiozo plānu mūža garumā - likt latviski ieskanēties iespējami daudziem pasaules “lielajiem” tekstiem. Arī par ilggadīgo sadarbību ar mākslinieci Liliju Dineri, kura literatūras pieminekļu tulkojumu ilustrācijās radījusi veselu senatnes tēlu pasauli. Un arī par apgāda “Zinātne”, nu jau vairākus gadu desmitus turpināto sēriju “Literatūras pieminekļi”. Sērijas kanons blakus tulkotāja priekšvārdam paredz vietu arī zinātniskajiem komentāriem, “Zālamana sakāmvārdiem” tos rakstījis Ilmārs Zvirgzds. Apgāda “Zinātne”, sērijas “Literatūras pieminekļi” pastāvēšana deva iespēju tās darbu tulkotājiem domāt ar vērienu, plānot un paļauties, ka tulkojumi, kas reizēm prasīja nepārskatāmi ilgu laiku, tiks izdoti. Jau 1997. gadā, kad Ulža Bērziņa tulkojumā ar nosaukumu “Ījabs” iznāca Ījaba grāmata, ieceres bija skaidras. Pirms tam, 1993. gadā, Knuts Skujenieks ar nosaukumu “Dziesmu dziesma” bija iztulkojis Salamana Augsto dziesmu, Ulža Bērziņa tulkojumā 2000. gadā iznāca “Pulcētājs”, 2005. gadā "Slavinājumi” jeb Psalmu grāmata. Bībeles biedrības vadībā tapušais Bībeles jaunais tulkojums tika pabeigts 2012. gadā, atšķiras no sērijā “Literatūras pieminekļi” izdotajiem Vecās Derības tekstu tulkojumiem. Sekulārā tulkojumā tulkotājs drīkst ļauties dzejnieka intuīcijai, nesekot tradīcijai vai reliģiskiem kanoniem, saprast un izdzīvot šos tekstus kā lasītus pirmoreiz. Taču tāpēc arī apjomīgās komentāru sadaļas, kas skaidro un pamato izdarītās izvēles vai saprašanas kontekstu. Līdzšinējiem sērijas tulkojumiem no senebreju valodas. “Zālamana sakāmvārdus” papildinās māksliniece Lilijas Dineres veidota vizuāli tveramu tēlu pasaule. Un jāatzīst, ka tieši Lilija Dinere bija tā, kas iniciēja šī raidījuma tapšanu – mudināja sekot Ulža Bērziņa pēdējā tulkojuma ceļam pie lasītājiem, Uldim aizejot, vēlējās Radio pastāstīt par ilggadējo sadarbību. Tā sākās 1993. gadā, kad Ulža Bērziņa no vecoguzu valodas tulkotais teiku krājums “Mana vectēva Korkuda grāmata”. Šai raidījumā minētās “Literatūras pieminekļu” sērijas ietvaros viņa ilustrējusi “Ījabu”, “Slavinājumus”. Kopā ar dēlu Robertu Dineru arī senfranču eposu “Rolanda dziesma”, “Eddas dziesmas”. Sadarboties ar autoru, saka Lilija Dinere, es iemācījos strādājot ar mātes, Cecīlijas Dineres dzejas krājumiem, bet interese par seno sākusies ar Fransuā Vijona dzejas grāmatu. Lilija Dinere savus zīmējumus negrib saukt par ilustrācijām. Viduslaikos manuskriptu, kurā tekstu papildināja īpaši izzīmēti burti, miniatūru zīmējumi, sauca par iluminētu manuskriptu. Iluminācija kā teksta nevis burtiska attēlošana, bet izgaismošana, teksta pārrakstītāja kā lasītāja dialogs ar grāmatu, radot tekstam paralēlu tēlu pasauli. Mums vairs nav iespējas pajautāt, bet zinot, cik izcili Uldis Bērziņš pats lasīja – skandēja, deklamēja, šņāca un vaimanāja – lasot citiem priekšā paša tulkotos tekstus, domāju, ka viņš augstu novērtēja iespēju drukātā formātā uz sava lasītāja maņām iedarboties caur vizuālo tēlu pasauli. Radītie tēli ir pašpietiekami mākslas darbi, kas savu dzīvi turpina Lilijas Dineres, arī Roberta Dinera mākslas izstādēs. Māksliniece atzīst, ka tie mēdzot pārceļot arī no grāmatas uz grāmatu, mainoties raksturā. “Zālamana sakāmvārdu” tulkotāja priekšvārdam Uldis Bērziņš devis apkopojumu virsrakstā – “Ievads mūžīgai tiešsaistei”. Savāds ir bijis laiks, kur šis priekšvārds tapis, pandēmijas laiks, kad cilvēks no cilvēks nošķirts, saiknes uztur tiešsaistes notikumos un sarunās. Vai cilvēka dialogs ar Dievu varētu būt tikpat īsts un vienlaikus netverams kā virtuālā saziņa? “Zālamana sakāmvārdi” sola, ka cilvēks, izgājis Gudrības skolu, spēj rīkoties pareizi, izprast pasauli un lietu kārtību. Līdz brīdim, kad Ījabs uzzina, ka Dievs nākamajā līmenī spēlē pēc cilvēka prātam jau atkal nesaprotamiem noteikumiem. Kā tur īsti ir? Pati iespēja saprast vai nesaprast dota tikai tiešsaistē.

Podcast: This week on the show we feature a pre-recorded conversation with Christopher Pinard, author of Celtic Mythology for Kids: Tales of Selkies, Giants, and the Sea. Chris' interest in folklore and mythology began at a very young age when his mother first read the stories of the Mabinogion, Eddas, the Irish Mythological Cycle, and various collections of folk tales. Over the years, his passion for the subject matter deepened, which resulted in his authorship of articles online and in magazines. His deep interest in folkways is buttressed with an educational background in psychology and history. In our conversation, we cover Chris' early awakening to the world of mythology, his personal synthesis of a pagan practice based on the Norse and Celtic traditions and deities, and the transformative power of the allegories found in traditional tales. More information about Chris Pinard's work can be found at: Chris Pinard on Owlcation website: owlcation.com, Celtic Mythology for Kids on Amazon.com: www.amazon.com.

Hvordan var kjønnsrollene i den nordiske vikingtida? Og hvordan har vikingtidas kjønnsroller blitt forstått opp gjennom historien? Er det slik at dagens forståelse av kjønn endrer våre forestillinger om hvordan kvinner levde sine liv i fjern fortid?Dette er noen av spørsmålene som Tore Rem, direktør for forskningssatsinga UiO:Norden, stiller til førsteamanuensis i arkeologi Unn Pedersen i denne korte samtalen.Bilde: By Oscar Wergeland - Guerber, H.

Wer ist Thor? Spätestens seit die Figur fester Bestandteil des Marvel Avengers Universums ist, findet wohl jeder eine Antwort auf diese Frage. Blonde, schulterlange Haare, ein flatternder Umhang, eine stilisierte Rüstung, ein geflügelter Helm und vor allem der Hammer Mjöllnir zeichnen die Comicfigur aus, die von Stan Lee und Jack Kirby geschaffen wurde und in den Filmen seit 2011 von Chris Hemsworth verkörpert wird. Doch wie viel nordischer Gott steckt noch in dem amerikanischen Actionheld? Wir haben uns auf die Suche gemacht und stellen euch unter anderem die beiden Eddas vor, isländische Götter- und Heldensagensammlungen, die nicht nur von Thor, sondern auch von Riesen, Zwergen, Alfen und anderen Göttern wie Odin, Frigga, Freya und Loki erzählen. Dabei erklären wir euch auch, wie schwierig es ist, eine germanische 'Religion' zu rekonstruieren. Euch hat der Podcast gefallen?

Quer conhecer sobre mitos, lendas, folclore e muito mais? Acesse: mitografias.com.br. [Trilha sonora] Leonardo: Muito bem, ouvintes. E no episódio de hoje, vamos falar da mitologia e do panteão eslavo. Alguns devem saber o que é essa palavra, devem identificar já pela palavra, alguns não, mas não tem problema. Hoje falaremos dos eslavos. Na verdade, para ser mais exato, como disse, do panteão - é sobre os deuses eslavos, não propriamente da mitologia ou religião em si. Por isso, como vocês vão ver durante o episódio, tem muitas dúvidas e falta informação tanto na questão histórica quanto na questão da mitologia. Para isso, eu estou com o Yamada, da equipe. Juliano Yamada: Olá, vocês. Leonardo: E com a Nilda. Nilda: Olá. Leonardo: E aí hoje a gente vai falar sobre o que seria a mitologia e o panteão eslavo. Vai ser interessante analisar alguns conceitos dessa questão mesmo de ter pouca informação, o que isso agrava. Vai ser interessante falar disso. Vale a pena fazer um primeiro episódio sobre essa mitologia para, no futuro, a gente se aprofundar mais, mesmo que eu tenha falado agora que é algo que tem muita dúvida, falta informação, mas, com o tempo, dá para a gente se aprofundar mais. Mas, como é um tema que pode ter ouvinte aí que nem identifique direito o que seria a palavra em si, ou mesmo que identifique quem são os eslavos, mas não vai conhecer praticamente divindade nenhuma - normal, porque elas não são tão conhecidas assim, então a gente prefere fazer um primeiro episódio mais introdutório. Mas, como eu falei, é difícil realmente de encontrar coisa muito aprofundada. Acontece assim: você pesquisando sobre, a gente vê que não é fácil realmente encontrar conteúdo.

Nesse episódio do Papo Lendário, Leonardo Mitocôndria, Nilda Alcarinquë e Juliano Yamada conversam sobre a mitologia eslava e seus deuses. Conheça Perun, Veles, Bielobog, Chernobog e outras divindades eslavas. Ouça sobre alguns espiritos que moram nas casas e adegas dos povos eslavos. Entenda o motivo de muitos deuses e personagens dessa mitologia serem confusos. - Esse episódio possui transcrição, veja mais abaixo. -- CURSO de TAROT, Mitos Modernos e a Cultura Pop -- Acesse esse link para comprar o curso com desconto: Tarot - Os Mitos Modernos e a Cultura Pop -- EQUIPE -- Pauta, edição: Leonardo Mitôcondria Locução da abertura: Ira Croft Host: Leonardo Mitôcondria Participante: Juliano Yamada Participante: Nilda Alcarinquë -- APOIE o Mitografias -- -- Agradecimentos aos Apoiadores -- Adriano Gomes Carreira Alan Franco Alexandre Iombriller Chagas Aline Aparecida Matias Ana Lúcia Merege Correia Anderson Zaniratti André Victor Dias dos Santos Antunes Thiago Bruno Gouvea Santos Clecius Alexandre Duran Domenica Mendes Eder Cardoso Santana Edmilson Zeferino da Silva Everson Everton Gouveia Gabriele Tschá Hamilton Lemos de Abreu Torres Jeankamke Jonathan Souza de Oliveira José Eduardo de Oliveira Silva Leila Pereira Minetto Leonardo Rocha da Silva Leticia Passos Affini Lindonil Rodrigues dos Reis Mateus Seenem Tavares Mayra Nilda Alcarinquë Paulo Diovani Goncalves Patricia Ussyk Petronio de Tilio Neto Rafael Resca Rafa Mello Talita Kelly Martinez -- Transcrição realizada por Amanda Barreiro (@manda_barreiro) -- [00:00:00] [Vinheta de abertura]: Você está ouvindo Papo Lendário, podcast de mitologias do projeto Mitografias. Quer conhecer sobre mitos, lendas, folclore e muito mais? Acesse: mitografias.com.br. [Trilha sonora] Leonardo: Muito bem, ouvintes. E no episódio de hoje, vamos falar da mitologia e do panteão eslavo. Alguns devem saber o que é essa palavra, devem identificar já pela palavra, alguns não, mas não tem problema. Hoje falaremos dos eslavos. Na verdade, para ser mais exato, como disse, do panteão - é sobre os deuses eslavos, não propriamente da mitologia ou religião em si. Por isso, como vocês vão ver durante o episódio, tem muitas dúvidas e falta informação tanto na questão histórica quanto na questão da mitologia. Para isso, eu estou com o Yamada, da equipe. Juliano Yamada: Olá, vocês. Leonardo: E com a Nilda. Nilda: Olá. Leonardo: E aí hoje a gente vai falar sobre o que seria a mitologia e o panteão eslavo. Vai ser interessante analisar alguns conceitos dessa questão mesmo de ter pouca informação, o que isso agrava. Vai ser interessante falar disso. Vale a pena fazer um primeiro episódio sobre essa mitologia para, no futuro, a gente se aprofundar mais, mesmo que eu tenha falado agora que é algo que tem muita dúvida, falta informação, mas, com o tempo, dá para a gente se aprofundar mais. Mas, como é um tema que pode ter ouvinte aí que nem identifique direito o que seria a palavra em si, ou mesmo que identifique quem são os eslavos, mas não vai conhecer praticamente divindade nenhuma - normal, porque elas não são tão conhecidas assim, então a gente prefere fazer um primeiro episódio mais introdutório. Mas, como eu falei, é difícil realmente de encontrar coisa muito aprofundada. Acontece assim: você pesquisando sobre, a gente vê que não é fácil realmente encontrar conteúdo. Você encontra mais citando alguns nomes de deuses apenas, fica mais uma lista e algumas características só, bem longe do que seria se você fosse pesquisar algo de mitologia grega ou nórdica. Isso é comum em muita cultura, mas, como eu falei, dos nórdicos, a gente percebe que falta informação - na verdade, até dos gregos faltaria. É coisa do passado, história antiga, sempre falta. Mas nos nórdicos a gente até que consegue ver melhor algumas narrativas. A gente tem as narrativas que se encontram nos Eddas. E, com isso,

Se om det senare Inledningen!Båda kvädena, bland hvilka detta synes vara älst, börja med den lömska inbjudning, som Atle sände sina svågrar, Gunnar och Högne, och skildra händelsernas gång ända till och med Atles undergång genom Gudruns hämd. Hela detta händelsernas förlopp finnes framstäldt i senare delen af inledningen framför noterna till Första kvädet om Sigurd Fåfnesbane.Dessa Atlekväden kunna icke i storslagen enkelhet och skönhet mäta sig med de älsta af Eddans hjältesånger, men de bilda genom ämnets tragiska väldighet och diktionens framträdande böjelse för prakt så att säga en naturlig mellanlänk mellan Eddasången och medeltidsdikten.

Ni kan även swisha valfri summa till 0707471858Noter till Första kvädet om Sigurd Fafnesbane eller Gripes spådomDenna sång, som äfven kallas Gripes spådom, skildrar den unge Sigurds ridt till sin morbroders, Gripes sal, och innehåller de spådomar, denne uttalar om Sigurds kommande öden. Sigurds personliga höghet träder öfver alt fram, men också redan nu hans vemodsfulla, oundvikliga öde. Sången går icke in i enskildheter, utan håller sig blott till de stora dragen samt är alt igenom mycket regelbundet bygd i dialogform utan någon inblandning af prosa, utom framför själfva början af det hela. Alt tyder på, att detta kväde är vida yngre än de öfriga Sigurdssångerna. Det kan näppeligen hafva uppkommit förr, än hela sagan om Sigurd, fullt utbildad, var ända in i sina enskildheter af hvar man känd; ty det är i själfva verket en rekapitulation af alt sammans, ehuru stäld i spetsen och framträdande som en förutsägelse. Märkas bör emellertid, att, huru mycket än vårt sinne störes däraf, att hjälten på förhand vet sina öden och sålunda på sätt och vis mist sin frihet, så sågo våra fäder denna sak ingalunda på samma sätt. Ty den isländska literaturen är full af sådana spådomar och profetior. Liksom drag af sägnen om Hälge Hundingsbane fortlefvat efter hedendomens slut och framträdt i nordiska medeltidsdikter, så har också Sigurd Fåfnesbanes öden varit ett kärt ämne för den medeltida diktningen och konsten. Just denna dikt, Sigurds ridt till Gripe, går sålunda, såsom S. Grundtvig påvisat, igen i den danska visan om Sivard Snarensvend, till hvilken visa en svensk motsvarighet finnes meddelad i Runa för 1843. Hjälten heter i den svenska visan Sibol. Äfven hästen Grane, i Völsungasagan liksom i Eddasångerna oskiljaktigt fäst vid Sigurds person men däremot icke förekommande i den tyska paralleldikten, framträder i medeltidsvisorna under namnen Graamand, Skimling Gram o. s. v. En norsk variant ger ändå klarare till känna denna medeltidsvisas slägtskap med vår Eddasång. I den norska visan heter t. o. m. morbrodern, till hvilken »Sigurd svein» rider, »Greiper kongin».

During this week's episode, I give an overview of the rich history of Icelandic literature and  culture. Before I jump in, I have two announcements. Two Important Announcements The first is that today, February 20th, 2019, is the last day for you to enter the All Things Iceland podcast giveaway.  If you haven’t entered already, you can do so by clicking on the image that says the All Things Iceland podcast giveaway below. I will pick the winners at random tomorrow and contact them The second announcement is that I am taking a little break from podcasting, but only for a little while. I get so much joy from doing this and I definitely plan on continuing to do it. One of the main reasons is that I am taking a pause is because I will be traveling for about 2 months. It will be difficult to find the space and time to record, edit and publish weekly episodes. During that time, I will have some vacation time, my mother will have surgery, and I will start a new job. The show will restart again on April 24th, 2019. I know it sounds like a long time away but time passes by so quickly. It is hard to believe that I have been doing this podcast weekly for the past 8 months! Also, I have been reading your survey results and I am so excited to create shows and conduct interviews based off of your suggestions. Ok, now let’s jump back into to the topic of Iceland’s literary culture. Icelandic Sagas - The Beginning of Icelandic Literature History Icelandic literature is just as unique as its language, which I talked about in episode two of this show. I’ll start out with lcelandic literature from Medieval times and end with the modern day literary environment in the country. As I have mentioned in previous episodes, the sagas, which were written between the 9th and 13th centuries, are the most revered pieces of Icelandic literature. They were written in Old Norse tell tales of the people that migrated to Iceland, Viking voyages to unknown lands and the history of settlers. The sagas have withstood the test of time. They have been inspirational sources for shows, movies, plays and books that depict life in Scandinavia during those times. Njáls Saga For instance, Njáls Saga, which takes places between 960 and 1020, is full of drama. There is betrayal, murder, ongoing feuds, omens and prophetic dreams. It is teeming with excitement. It also gives insight into the culture during that time. While all of the sagas are fascinating, I specifically point out this one because its Iceland’s longest and most developed saga. If you want to check it out, I have a link to the  saga database that has free versions of the popular sages in Icelandic and English. https://www.amazon.com/Njals-Saga-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140447695/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= While it hasn’t been confirmed, there is a theory that the sagas served as a way of hiding and preserving the view of pagans, which was threatened by the onslaught of Christianity in the country Most of the authors of the sagas are unknown, but they are thought to be somewhat true accounts that were passed on orally until they were written down. Some people theorize that women might have been some of the authors. However, there is no evidence to support that. Plus, all of the known saga writers are male. However, many poetry verse stanzas are attributed to Icelandic and Norwegian women, such as Gunnhildr konungamóðir, and Þórhildr skáldkona. Icelandic Eddaic & Skaldic Poetry Eddaic and skaldic poetry were also written during medieval times.  These types of Icelandic literature helped to influence the country's appreciation of poetry. The main difference between the two types of poetry is that skaldic refers to poetry written by Norwegian and Icelandic poets, who known as skalds. While the Eddas mentioned mythical events or told stories, skaldic poetry was used to honor nobles or kings, as well as to commemorate or satirize important e...

I am hanging out today with Lonnie Scott. And I know Lonnie from the internet, from tarot community, from all sorts of different places. And not that long ago, for me, even being a guest on his show, Weird Web Radio. But for folks who don't know who you are, Lonnie, what are you up to you? What are you doing spiritually these days?  Lonnie: Oh, boy. What am I not doing spiritually these days? For most people who may not know that personal side of me, I'm a heathen, I generally practice within reconstructed, reidealized paganism practices inspired by Northern Europe and ancient Northern European practices. But more of if you want to call it, what we call the down and dirty title, chaos heathen. Chaos heathenry is something that was started by the guys at the Elhaz Ablaze website and blog many years ago. I found my way to them just trying to navigate to something within heathenry that wasn't just religious. I don't feel like I have this strict sort of religious practice. I'm more interested in magic and sorcery and how those things work, but within frameworks that resonate to me. And heathenry's always spoken to me that way.  Essentially, we are chaos magicians who found a spiritual home in heathenry. Jason Miller coined something not too long ago called chaonimism. When I read that, I thought, this is the term that applies really well to the way we think, especially myself, within that chaos heathen sort of framework. We're seeking the real results of practice and trying to find what it is that works and the sort of tech that we can plug into and apply to our lives. At the same time, recognizing that spirit is real and it doesn't require my permission or my belief to exist. It's really there if that makes sense. Andrew: Does for sure. I'm just pulled up the thing from Jason, chaonimism now. Approach that combines the wild freedom focused on results and non-hierarchical view of reality inherent in chaos magic with a belief in spirits as organized consciousness not dependent on belief. Yeah, you know, I mean, I think that, I think that's such an interesting distinction, this question of, I actually have no question about it but I think that the dialogue about it has been interesting and it's always interesting when people come to it, which is, are spirits real? Where do they exist? How do they exist?  And for me, I've pretty much always approached them as discrete entities with no reliance on me. They have a life of some sort extraneous to me entirely and we just bump into each other if I'm lucky at the appointed times, you know, when I make the appropriate phone call, you know. In a sense, we are that spiritual being, we're embodied as spirits, if you buy into that framework.  So, you're a spirit too just as long with all these other spirits that are surrounding us. We're not better or worse than any of those that exist, we're just existing on sort of a different framework or different vibrations, I guess, if you want to take it that way. So, why is the nonreligious side of that important to you or what does that mean in terms of your practice in your life? Lonnie: Yeah. My practice isn't centered around devotions, I guess is the really, the only distinction I can come up with that makes any sort of sense. I'm not setting up permanent altar, temple structure type relationships to any deities or trying to come up with specific philosophies or dictate practice or anything around particular god size spirits, if you will. In that light, I'm not the religious, but I do on the same token have these relationships with different gods and goddesses within the heathen framework and without. Go ahead. Andrew: Heathen is always a word that people, I see around, and I feel like I sometimes struggle to articulate what it means clearly though myself. What does heathenism mean to you or how would you define that word? Lonnie: Sure. Heathenry is just kind of a general umbrella kind of term. It's similar to pagan in that fashion, they can cover a lot of different styles and approaches and practices that fall under that category. Heathen is a more specific general term that, again, it covers things that are being reconstructed or inspired by ancient Northern European practices, going out through Germanic lands, Scandinavia, Iceland, Anglo Saxon sort of practices. And there are different specific religions fall under that umbrella depending on what area and region people are being inspired by. Andrew: So it's more of these, for you, about the geography where it comes from or the collection of spirits where it comes from? Lonnie: I guess by sheer accident, it's associated with the geography because that's where the ideas come from. But for me, it's more about the ideas. It's not about the land or the places that these original ideas sort of sprung up. My interest- Andrew: I was going to say, your accent doesn't sound Northern European to me. Lonnie: Right. My appeal to heathenry is more about the concepts that are inherent inside of it. Things like hospitality and reciprocity being important, the land spirits being an important part of honoring them, honoring your ancestors. And then going at a deeper more mystical level, talking about the norms at the center of all things. The tree and the well being central elements of the cosmology. The more I dig into it, the more I go about the list. It's less and less and less and less about gods and goddesses to me, and it's more about these concepts and how I relate to the world and my relationship with the people, the land, the spirits that I work with. Andrew: It's more of a philosophy and a theology and a worldview in that sense? Lonnie: Yeah, I think that's more accurate. It's more of a mindset and a worldview than it is a religion at least in my practice. Andrew: Sure. So, how did you find your way to the Norse or Northern European deities and world view then? Lonnie: Oh, by accident, like all things. You had your accident, I had mine. When I was a teenager, I started exploring into different parts of paganism and the occult. I tell people I wasn't raised to be anything. My parents weren't religious, they weren't forcing me to attend any churches on Sundays. My sister and I weren't baptized. We were just left to be whatever it is we were going to be. But sometime around the age of 12 or 13, I got interested in all things spiritual and I started checking out books in the library, asking questions to people who were around. By the time I'm 15 or 16, I've probably read most of what Scott Cunningham stuff was on the book shelves, started digging into Crowley's different material he provided. There really wasn't much available when I was a teenager in the 90s, early 90s.  But then I meet some friends and all in one swoop, it's funny, one friend on one hand says, I think I found the perfect book for you and he hands me, Liber Null & Psychonaut. He says, I've read through this, I think it's crazy, I can't even wrap my head around it but I think it's definitely for you. And he was right. It was definitely for me, is exactly what I was looking for. All in the same time, another friend, within a day or two of this incident is really getting interested in runes. And he's got Futhark by Edred Thorsson. He's got some of Kveldulf Gundarsson's early stuff, Teutonic religion, Teutonic magic. And he's got this big goal in mind, he wants to end up on the high read of The Troth. And he starts studying this stuff. I'm just borrowing books from him.  So I sort of find my way to modern esoteric rune practices through Futhark, and then I've got Liber Null & Psychonaut in my other hand. These two books sort of form the foundational practice of what propelled me forward into heathenry and the occult both.  Andrew: It's fascinating. Yeah. I went through a period of time where I was very interested in runes. I was in art school, so like, back in the early 90-ish, you know, I was very interested in them and so on, and was doing a lot of, using them for a lot of magic. I even made some brands and did some branding work on myself as part of creating permanent protection work and stuff like that. So, it was very, back in my body modification piercing interested days and stuff like that. So yeah, very much I get that, that kind of chaotic like, not chaotic in the sense of like on structure, but like that open-ended like, what can I do with this stuff? Where can I put it to work? How can I work this in a way that makes sense to my whole self? Lonnie: Well, sure, that's right. I'm looking at the back over time at this, I've got, in Liber Null, you've got the instruction manual for creating sigils, starting to work sigil magic, and how to adopt different mindsets, to apply magic, to get results. On the other hand, I've got a book about runes and these really angular shapes, they look like they want to do something more than just write. Inherently, the aesthetic of them appeal. When you start creating bind runes, bringing different runic forces together, they're a much more magical looking thing to me than just creating a sigil, the way it's taught in chaos magic. I think they're working on the same principle.  Andrew: For sure, yeah. I think it's kind of like, you can have a bunch of wood and some nails and some hammer and you can make anything you want. Have some Lego that locks together in a really easy structure, right? Both ways you make a thing, you know, and I think that the bind runes and the runes themselves have that sort of ease of interconnection that really does lend itself to that kind of process, right? Lonnie: Right. Yeah. And this goes back to like, you were talking about how did I get into heathenry, how do I explore it further into heathenry. The more you study the runes, in a modern esoteric framework, you're essentially looking at what do these runes mean, and most of that modern framework is based on The Elder Futhark. We know what they mean because of the diligent work of academics who have reconstructed proto-Germanic so we can have an idea of what these runes all say on rune stones that dot the landscape. But for you, if you're a practicing heathen or you're trying to use runes for magic or divination, what does Fehu actually mean for you on a magical or divinatory purpose. It can mean fee, cattle, money. And you can leave it at that.  But if you really want to dig deeper into runes, you can't help but sort of fall into these deeper heathen ideas because you ask yourself, well, what did cattle mean to the people who came up with this symbol? What was the concept of money and this idea of fees? And then you find your way to the rune poems and you start finding your way to the Eddas and the stories that hold the mythic tale of the people who came up with this whole symbol set to begin with. It enriches what you can do with the runes on one hand, but like I said, you just kind of fall into these ideologies and worldviews if you're willing to actually look deeper into what these things are. Andrew: So, I'm certainly not going to ask you to stand for everybody who uses these things. But, I've also seen a lot of stuff kind of creeping in around some kind of more extreme people who are using runes and Norse stuff for racist ideas and stuff like that. I don't even know what the question I have for you around that is. I guess I'll go, what do you think about that? Do you think that that's in any way inherent in the structure? What do we do about this, you know, where people are, you know, from my point of view as someone outside of those kinds of traditions, co-opting something? Yeah. Lonnie: Let's dig in. I'm on the high read of The Troth. It's an international inclusive heathen organization and also the steward of Illinois for the same organization. We make inclusive a distinction because it's necessary. When modern heathenry was reborn in the minds of people in America, it'd gotten its rebirth in a way earlier in Iceland. But when it relaunched itself somehow in America, it came with a stain from the very beginning. This sort of romantic notion of the viking as this sort of road warrior today. This idea that this is somehow a tradition or a religion that should only be ethnically attached to European descendants. So, you'll start to see different factions split over time over how deeply they adhere to those ideas. So, on one hand, you've got people like me and The Troth, who are what we call inclusive, meaning that regardless of your sexuality, your gender, your ethnicity, your physical, mental abilities, your economic status even, none of these things are important for you to enter a heathen practice or get to know more about heathen worldviews or join The Troth or any of that. On the other hand, you have other organizations who say it's for, they call themselves folkish. And usually, that means that they want you to be descended from Northern European countries. And what they mean by that is they want you to be white. I don't know how else just to spin that other than they just want you to be white. Andrew: And folkish as in the word like folk, which means people. Like from the people as opposed to like folk practice? Lonnie: Yes. They're usually when they're saying folk, they're talking about of the people, these specific sorts of people, trying to set it up in a more tribal sort of, and have boundaries is their argument. When you see, like you're saying, you see these people who are using runes and other heathen ideas that are occupying some pretty far right not so good ideas, at least as far as I'm concerned, it's all not, let me stutter over my words, none of this comes from a culture in history that was closed off to welcoming the stranger or the other into their communities. We come back to those ideals of hospitality and being both a good guest and a good host in a climate where you had to have those sorts of ideas for people to survive. But even then, we have evidence and stories of people who are, where they freely adopt others into their tribes or their families. None of that comes up as an issue, they're not really part of this family, they're not really part of this tribe. Once you're adopted, you're in. It's a matter of what you can do, not what you look like, not even probably what you believe. It just comes down again to one of those classic heathen sort of phrases, you know, we are our deeds, you are what you do, and nothing else should really matter, the least of which the color of your skin, which is one of the most ridiculous notions that I think should be attached anything heathen. Andrew: Yeah. Is there an effort or is there a consideration or does this even make sense as a question like within the group, like, because I've seen people, people I know, like avoid posting and being involved in runic stuff because of its association with some of these far right people. And they're like, I just don't even, I don't even want to be associated with it. I might have a personal practice but I don't even bring that out because I don't even want people to misunderstand where I'm at or what I'm about with this. In your organization or from your point of view, is there something to be done to sort of delineate these things, to sort of, I don't know, re-reclaim, you know, organize away from these sort of pieces? Lonnie: Yeah. Well, I mean, first, the reclaiming, right? The argument usually hinges on this is our culture not theirs. So, the people who would want to bar entry from anyone based on ethnicity are making the argument that there's this living culture that they're the descendants of and you, whether you're black, brown, Chinese or anything else, you have your own traditions to go out and find. That's the argument that they make. And that you should go out and find those. They're more about segregation in a way than they are sort of some supremacist idea.  Heathenry is not a cultural inheritance. It's not a living tradition that came down through the generations. The ancient heathen cultures that inspire modern practices are dead and they're gone. There's 1000 years of Christianity and other forms of Abrahamic religions, more than likely, and little folk practices, of course, between us and the last heathen who was living pre-conversion times. There's nothing there to living inherent, or inherit. Andrew: It's like if you want to call up Zeus and do some work with Zeus or whatever, there's no living legacy of that practice continues to today. There's the disruption. Lonnie: Not only is there no like direct line through generations. There are hundreds of years of broken connection there. It's a revisioning, it's a reawakening, it's a rebuilding through different ideas and what's important. We have that ability to look at it in a sort of bigger picture and take what's the best of what we can know about their ideas and bring that forward without including any baggage or bullshit that's unnecessary. But even then, that ethnic closing of a door to people, I just don't think is something that they would have recognized or accepted as part of their own way. I'm sure they had their own barriers to entry to their families and their clans and their tribes, but I very highly doubt it had a thing to do with skin.  With that said, you asked, are there ways to offer alternatives or combat this. The Troth is an organization that works very, very hard to do that. We do it by providing publications and resources to people who are interested in heathenry that are one, based on real and solid scholarship, two, effective modern practice, and three, inclusive, being honest about what we expect and who we are, that there's nothing that's going to bar you from being part of what it is that we do.  And last year, I decided to use social media as a way to put up more of a face on inclusive heathenry. And it's funny you were talking about, you know, people who are reluctant to publicly say that they use runes or something or get involved in groups that are more akin to runes because of those associations with less desirable people or ideologies. I had a conversation with a guy who was basically confessing the same things to me, saying, look, I've got this deep, passionate relationship with Odin and Freya from the Norse Pantheon and the mysteries that surround them. And in my own trance work, the things that I'm discovering in my own relationship are amazing and I want to write them down, I want to share them with the world. But I'm gay and I'm black and I can't. I mean, he really felt like because he's gay and he's black, he can't share what he's discovering in his own journey, in his own path with these two specific divine forces. Hearing him say that broke my heart because here I'm having a conversation with a guy who is one of the most brilliant occult practitioners I've ever had the honor to talk to him my life. And he knows who he is and he knows he inspired this movement even. So I got to thinking about it, how do I work harder to make sure that that door's open to people like him, that he's not afraid to walk through that? The fact that he's scared or reluctant to or anyone else, for that matter, I think weakens and cheapens the growth and the movement of modern heathenry. The more great minds and the more practitioners that we have with these different backgrounds and different ideas that they bring to the table can only enrich our own practice. So, I started this thing. It's a hashtag, #knowourheathens, and #inclusiveheathenry attached to it. And you can search those on Facebook is mostly where it's been happening. And just asking people, to put a picture of yourself up on Facebook or anywhere else on social media, include these hashtags, and tell people that you're heathen and you'll accept anyone into heathenry regardless of gender, and race and ethnicity and sexual orientation and so on. And I've been very pleasantly surprised by how many people are willing to take that stand and just let people know that the door is not locked, it's not even closed. And here we are, we're going to stand here and hold it open for you.  I already know that there's criticism of this idea even sort of from my own camp, saying, you know, I don't, you don't have any divine right to say who can and can't come to the gods, right? It's all about honoring the gods properly and so on. But I also think that I can't pretend that the world isn't what it is. I'm a straight white man who practices heathenry. I can walk into any heathen gathering in the world and if I don't open my mouth and share my thoughts or bring that friend who doesn't fit the straight white man mold, no one's going to question my presence there. All those heathen doors are open to me, no matter what extremist ideas those groups hold because I look the part.  So I'll take that sort of privilege of looking the part and open the doors as wide as I can, to make sure that people who don't look the part the way these more extremist factions want can find their way to it as well.  Andrew: That's great. I think that that falls to all of us, right? And the more privilege we have, the more it falls to us to make sure that we do what we can to take steps in those directions for sure. So, I think that's fantastic. I hope people continue in that direction, lots of people continue in that direction, and in whatever other ways makes sense to continue to open those doors, because it's always been my experience that, I'm sure there are spirits that care a lot about place or family lines or other things.  But it's never been my experience that I've run into a spirit who's like, run into like traditional practitioners even in sort of living lineages who are like, oh, you're not from here or you're not from my group, therefore, you can't be involved. I've never run into that anywhere. And so I think these these other people who are fronting that, it's not coming from the spirit sides, it's coming from all the crappy, horrible things that that comes from. Lonnie: Yeah. Oh, I agree. It gets to the idea of ancestry as well. A core concept of heathenry is honoring and venerating your ancestors. That doesn't mean that you have to take a laser focused microscope on a specific region of the world within a specific set of decades and say, those are my ancestors. Sure, but have you ever looked at a family tree? Have you done the sheer math on how many people resulted in you that you had a whole lot more ancestry covering a lot more territory. And not just from that region. It backs up into previous ages and people move and they migrate. cultures blend and mix. And even religions are much more syncretic in ancient times than they are these dogmatic solid approaches.  I mean, even today, Christianity, you've got a 2000 year unbroken lineage, something that all pagans would love to have, right? But there's, I can look out my window, there's a Catholic Church three blocks away that direction. There's a Baptist Church four blocks away in that direction. Neither of them agree on a lot of principles of their own religion but they use the same holy text. The idea that there's this unbroken sure way to do it is funny to me. And at the same time, that thing about ancestors. If that's your sole argument for being part of heathenry, as an example, just be honest and say you have this super hyper focused love of a specific place in time because it's a poor representation of ancestors as a whole. Andrew: Well, you know, so in my tradition, we have, our notion of ancestors a [inaudible 00:33:00]. It includes your bloodline, for sure. The people who actually genetically contributed to your presence on the earth. But it also includes your initiatory lines. And the word means both. I mean, I think that there are different ways to have familial bonds. You talked about hospitality and so on, and to be welcomed into that family, you know, because I think that that's one of the things when we find our group of spirits or our group of ancestors or whatever, in that broader sense, we become ideally a part of that connection both in terms of receiving the blessings and owing obligations and all of that. I think it's important. Lonnie: I think it's important. You know, you talked about family, bloodlines are important, sure, you know, you honor the ancestors of, I call it the ancestors of blood and bone, those people who literally genetically results in you. But again, you're talking about thousands of people throughout time, and various traditions and various cultures and different values all throughout the generations. And family's bigger than blood. I would wager most people listening to this are closer to some of their friends than they are some of their own siblings and would give more to them for that. Andrew: I'm sure almost everybody has that aunt or uncle who's not actually related but who's just so close to the family, right? Lonnie: Yeah. And then, you know, if you research your ancestry like I have, you're inevitably going to find someone who is adopted or something of that fashion, isn't actually someone of blood and bone coming down generation to generation to you. They were adopted into the family or they came into the family by some other means that still results in you somehow, but they're not actually blood related. In my practice, ancestors are an even bigger scope than that. You have ancestors of place and the people who are important to the history of where you actually live and do your work. Ancestors of tradition, like you were talking about, who have made your practices possible today in some way or form. It's so much more than what, than what some of those folkish type heathens would like to box it into. Andrew: So, is the idea of, because, maybe because I've watched too many movies or like HBO specials or whatever, but like, is the idea of like being a warrior relevant to heathenism? Or is that just again, a pocket that like a limited number of people have sort of emphasized? Lonnie: I think it's a pocket that a limited number of people have emphasized. It's easy to do that when you, the most of the surviving lore that we have comes from the sagas and the Eddas that were written down post-conversion near the viking period. There's an awful lot of conflict going on back in time that these written down or the time that the stories come from, of course. People are moving all over the world, tribal conflict is occurring. One local chieftain becomes bigger chieftain, scoops up everybody on the farms and they go raiding and he wants to be bigger king, and so on, and so on, and so on. This isn't something that's even restricted to just heathen areas, that's just how the world worked, and I can even argue still works that way, we just don't call it the same things.  So no, I just, there are people who are, of course, who are inspired I guess to be soldiers or pursue a life in the military because of heathenry. It's certainly not frowned upon. It fits into some of the mold. You have gods and goddesses that are associated with war and victory. So why not have people who inspired by that, pursue that? But that is certainly not all that these gods, goddesses, the worldview is associated with. Again, I would point to ideas of the tree, the world tree that's connecting all the worlds and the mysteries that you can explore there in. The well that holds all that is and was and ever will be, and explore the mysteries therein. What are the norms, what do they really mean? How can I apply hospitality to my life? What does reciprocity mean? What is a right relationship with the world around me? And none of that has to do with, has to be anything at all about war or fighting? Andrew: Yeah, it's interesting how there're all these different ideas. It's like so many ideas around my tradition, people, especially people who hear about Santeria, and they just think of it as, like witchcraft that's going to help them get their lover back or whatever, when in fact, there's whole religious living tradition around everything to do with life as opposed to just sort of this one very particular sort of limited notion about it, right? Lonnie: There are. In a tradition, I guess in traditions such as heathenry where everything that we're building on even to get our inspiration for what we're going to do today comes from things that were written down by Christians well after conversion, inspired, of course, by their ancestors wanting to share those stories, the surviving oral traditions for whatever reason that make it into whatever we have left. But still, ultimately, were written down post-conversion by Christians. So, you have to sort of take an honest view of those things and explore everything. Archeology and what are the latest academics and scholars discovering on there. And of course, balance that out with your own personal practices and how you transform that into a living tradition.  Just a random thought, yeah, talking about those sagas and Eddas and everything that was written down by this Christian hands, every American knows the story of Paul Revere, right? I'm guessing a lot of people do, the midnight night of Paul Revere, one of by land, two of by sea, during the Revolutionary War. That's how they were going to let them know the British are coming. And he's this revered folk hero from a couple hundred years ago, the early formation of the United States in the war against Britain for independence. But what people don't realize is, here's a story in a living culture that everything is written down. There's no oral block of hundreds of years which you've got to worry about what gets remembered properly and putting your own twist on it and everything, everything is written down. And growing up as a kid, everybody was told the story of Paul Revere.  What people don't realize, though, is Paul Revere sort of falls into this cultural memory because his name rhymed best with the story, the poet who was telling his story came up with. There were many more writers that were out to notify all the villages, the town that British were coming. In fact, Paul Revere, according to the sources I've read was actually captured and was the worst one at his job at notifying everyone the British were coming.  So, you take that as an example of again, that living culture, a folk hero even, legend, everything is written down generation to generation and even taught in schools when you're young. And the story is not true.  Andrew: If his name had been Paul McGregor, he wouldn't have [inaudible 00:42:24] Lonnie: Yeah, Paul McGregor was probably better at it than he was.  Andrew: He was done his work and own the pub enjoying a pint, you know. Lonnie: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That is why I just don't take a hard line approach to any of this. Ultimately, because we can't always be sure about how much, one, how much we actually received that's accurate, and two, even on the things that are accurate and we can verify that are accurate, it's so little of it that you can't rebuild a real thing out of just that. You have to do comparative work with other mythology and other traditions and so on to put it all together. And my own practice is more focused on magic and sorcery. I want to do trance work and I want to do divination and I want to use magic to get results in my life or the things that I need in the world right now and I want to communicate with spirits. I'm telling you, right now, the instructions for all of that are pretty non existent in a heathen framework. Yeah. Andrew: So, where are you borrowing those instructions from? Is it from Peter Carol? Is it from, you know, where are you pulling those instructional pieces in to create that for yourself in this heathen framework?  Lonnie: Excellent question. It starts with Peter Carol, Liber Null, of course, and working through all of that material. I approach that like a kid who is starving and I just discovered McDonald's for the first time. It was wonderful. And that led to Phil Hine in his early work, which was fun. It took a much less serious approach to chaos magic than Carol was taking, which was a nice balance with that. And then, you know, in that time, you'd get online and there's different Yahoo groups, like the X, that was one of my favorites. And then the Chaos Matrix is still online today, deposit of articles to help the budding chaos magician get their start. You just experiment and you explore. Like I said, you explore outside of other traditions and other things.  I found my way to Tarot and becoming, falling in love with tarot and enriching myself spiritual practice with that helps inform everything that I do. It has this rippling effect across all of it. And I get better at divination in general and my intuition develops stronger. You learn different things. I don't know, over time, honestly, by the time I got to Elhaz Ablaze, finding that website around 2007, I was sort of frustrated, I kept running into too many of those sort of heathen groups or people that held those folkish ideas and I just didn't resonate with them. They weren't my kind of people. Until I found Elhaz Ablaze, I didn't even know for sure if there were heathens out there who were super involved in magic and trying to do things with it.  And about that same time, I started finding Jason Miller stuff, and found my way into strategic sorcery and took his course. And again, it has this profound rippling effect across my personal life and my practice. I go where, I try to focus all of my pursuits in the places where I see people getting the results.  Andrew: I think that's a really important thing. If we're going to bother to do magic, then we really need to, need to really get results, like otherwise, why bother? It's a lot of work most of the time [inaudible 00:46:42] something from it.  Lonnie: One thing I know true about magic, it works. The other thing I know true about magic is it doesn't work the way I want it exactly or even most of the time. So either, it's not like electricity, you can't just plug into it and get everything that you want out of it, or I'm a shit magician. And I choose to believe in myself. I'm going to go with, it's a much more subtle sort of thing that we tap into, and our influence probably plays with probabilities more than it produces profound effects. Although, I can't help but wonder sometimes if those profound effects are available to us, we just haven't figured it out. I know I haven't. Andrew: I think it was in one of Peter Carol's books where he talks about sort of divine over the short term on a shorter term and magic on a longer term to get the best combination of results.  Lonnie: Yeah. I saw one time, I'm pretty sure it was Peter Carol from years ago who suggested that you should do divination and try to communicate with yourself in the future. See if you're going to get the results from the work before you do the work. It's not my thing but it's similar sort of idea. Andrew: I'm so curious, which runes your future self would send you in divination to indicate the success on a particular work, you know? How'd you know that it was a correct, you know? When you work with manual divination cards, runes, whatever, they have no choice but to answer. So we can't assume that there is an actual connection going on, right? Even when I divine with coconut with Orishas, unless I'm feeding them certain things, you always have to ask if they're actually there first, right? But I'm like, what would you set up as your own kind of like thumbs up. It's like people when they know they're going to die, they'd be like, if I come back and speak to a medium, if they don't say this word, it's not me. That's some of those things. How do you set that up with yourself?  Lonnie: Yeah, that's a good question. You do bring up an important point there. I often have this conversation with people in paranormal investigations. I'm really happy to see more people using runes and tarot especially in paranormal investigations and trying to communicate with spirits just like the rest of us. But the minute you get those runes out or you pull a tarot card, you will have an answer, but that doesn't mean you're communicating with something. There has to be some sort of established thumbs up, some pre-game decision, this is how I know I'm really talking to something. Otherwise, that fool card doesn't mean anything other than I pulled a card.  Andrew: Yeah. It's like when I'm, divining people coming in they're asking if they've been cursed. As somebody who reads to the public it's a question that I run across a lot. And I'm not dismissive of that question, I think that it's a valid question. I think that the answer is generally a lot less than than many people would think. But nonetheless, it can happen. But like, for me, there are only two cards in the deck that I will take as an affirmative answer to that question when that question is asked. So that's two out of 78. And one of them has to show up in a certain position for me to be like, okay, yes. They're actually saying, yes, this is real.  And I think that having those clear understandings, what is that card that's the future Lonnie speaks card, you know, or whatever, right? Or future me speaks card. I think it's a really exciting idea. Lonnie: It's a fun idea to play with. I don't know how much merit I would give that idea of communicating with future selves. The armchair sort of, I watched a bunch of shows with Michio Kaku and Brian Green so I know something about science idea. I know they suggest that time may not be this arrow, that it could be more of a all time happening now kind of thing in one scenario. So maybe in that situation, if that's true, you could communicate with the future self. But then you get into all these possibilities and multiple futures. What if you know something too far ahead now, you you just change your mind so that doesn't matter anymore. How much are we locked into fate? What choices do we have? Andrew: Tells us a lot about ourselves once we start thinking about it. Lonnie: Yeah. You want to really hurt your brain. Andrew: I prefer to kind of go in a different direction generally with the future me stuff, which is, what should I do right now that future me will thank current me for having done. That's my often mode of operation. And that applies to like magical stuff, for sure, but it also applies to like getting my filing done and being on top of my bookkeeping and like all sorts of things. Because it's like, there's nothing like coming up to your thing, something happened recently, I was going to an event and I was like, oh man, I can't remember if I ever emailed back the person who I was supposed to stay with. And so I sent them a message saying, I hope it's not too late, I'm really, sorry if I left you hanging. They're like, no, no, you, like six months ago, you said, absolutely, I will be there. So I was like, oh, thanks past me.  Lonnie: Yeah. Even when I do divination for clients or even myself, I don't ever look to see what the future is involved in that. That's not how I read. I'm more of a what's at play in your life now kind of thing. I even visually represent that, like with tarot, I can do this. When I shuffle the cards, I shuffle them nine times to represent the nine worlds of heathen cosmology. I split the deck three times to represent the three norms. I remove the middle, the middle pile of that as the cards that I'm going to draw for the reading because I think it represents the norm [inaudible 00:53:58], which is the present, the things that are becoming at play in your world now.  I really think ultimately, that's what's most important to us. You know where you've been and if those things are important, they'll show up or they'll become more clear by the things that are happening now. As for what's going to happen tomorrow, what choices are you going to make? You're still going to be susceptible to the choices that other people make too. Andrew: For sure. Well, maybe that's a good place to leave it. Hey, listeners, go do some magic to mitigate the choices of other people and encourage the choices that you want to happen. One of the things that I would like to encourage for you the magic of my voice is for people to come and find you online where you're hanging out. You have your podcast and other stuff. Where should people come look for you on the internet? Lonnie: Well, you can absolutely find me at my own show, Weird Web Radio. Everywhere you get your podcasts. If there's not someplace you can find it, let me know, I'll figure out a way to get it on there. Weirdwebradio.com. Offer all my professional divination services at tarotheathen.com. On Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, as Weird Web Radio, and also have a special group for Weird Web Radio fans. If you want to get to know me more personally, I'm game. Just Lonnie Scott on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as well. Andrew: Beautiful. Well, thank you for making the time to be hanging out for this conversation today. I hope having the table turned on you as the guest versus the interviewer wasn't too traumatic for you. Lonnie: No, not a problem at all. And just real quick before we get Out of here, I talked about Elhaz Ablaze quite a bit earlier in the show. And I wanted to let everyone out there know that we released a compendium of chaos heathenry not too long ago, it's just titled, Elhaz Ablaze: A Compendium of Chaos Heathenry. It's a collection of essays from those of us who do that and I've got an essay in there concerning some of my ancestral practices. So, go out and check that out. Andrew: Yeah, get your magic on folks. Lonnie: Yeah, get your magic on. Andrew: All right, thanks so much, Lonnie.

The fastest growing religion in Iceland is Norse paganism. Floating in a hot spring, snow falling from the night sky, John Laurenson meets Teresa Drofn. A 25 year-old Heathen, Teresa describes her return to the religion of her Viking forebears as a renewal of a unique spiritual relationship with nature. A millennium after it was banned in exchange for Christianity, John explores why Icelanders are returning to the faith. At a ‘blot’, or sacred ceremony John hears a priestess read aloud from the Eddas, an ancient Icelandic text serving as scripture for the new heathens of Europe. In the old days at a ‘blot’, there’d be animal, even human sacrifices. Today they share in traditional Viking food, horse and whale, sheep’s head, puffin pâté and rotten shark. Visiting the site of a newly planned Heathen temple John meets high priest Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson. Hilmar has presided over hundreds of weddings and seen his own congregation increase six-fold within a single decade. This new Heathen house of worship, the first in a thousand years, will be aligned with the sun’s path and burrowed deep into a hill near the city’s airport.

Join RevKess and Kalisara talking to Kari Tauring about her new Double Album release, as well as her recent trip to Norway and Finland! Kari has released Ljos - which translates to "Light" representing the above-ground elves described in the Prose Eddas - and Svart - which translates to "Black" representing the underground elves of the Eddas. Kari recommends listening to Ljos, then Svart, all the way through. The two albums are more than 100 minutes of music that tie in together and send the listener on a real journey. The final track on Svart was created as an actual 17-minute journey through the World Tree using stav ("stahv") and tein ("tayn"). We will also be talking about Kari's recent trip to Scandanavia - we are so jealous, we can't wait!

The Story of Siegfried is James Baldwin's retelling of ancient yet perpetually popular Norse and Germanic tales about the hero Siegfried. The stories tell of a young man who had many adventures that readers might find familiar from modern movies and books, such as forging a legendary sword, rescuing a beautiful woman from a deep sleep, fighting dragons and armies, and so forth. Baldwin's sources included the Eddas, the Volsung Saga, and the Nibelungenlied, some of the oldest surviving references to the legends.
