Reading Frigga's Loom is a meditation that helps you better understand how you are connected with others in the world and your relationship with wyrd, the force that unites and binds all things in existence.  It works by using images and symbols of connection to give shape to our relationships with other entities, forces, and institutions.Link to the Calming the Sea & Sky meditationWant to support this podcast and my other work?  Sign up for my Patreon here: www.patreon.com/waywardwanderer or contribute to my KoFi here: https://ko-fi.com/ryansmithwf

Curious about Odin's sexual orientation? Siri Vincent Plouff (they/she), author of “Queering the Runes,”  shares their scholarship and intimate relationship with Nordic mythology, and just how queer it is.

Na'hum. (consolation). Nahum, called "the Elkoshite," is the seventh, in order, of the Minor Prophets. His personal history is quite unknown. The site of Elkosh, his native place, is disputed, some placing it in Galilee, others in AssyriaWhat is the purpose of this book? The book of Nahum is devoted to the announcement of the destruction of the city of Nineveh; the prophecy gave hope to the people of Judah who had long been terrorized by Assyria's constant and ominous threatBefore I get into this study, I continue with our study on what the Capital Building is all about. Was the Capital design to be a Temple set up by the founders of the New World Order? I go into the Apotheosis and the Dome. Apotheosis is a Greek word that means ‘to raise to god like stature' or the glorification of a person as an ideal. Webster's 1829 dictionary defines apotheosis as “the act of placing a prince or other distinguished person among the heathen deities.” Heathen is an Old English term meaning “not Christian or Jewish”. It is compared to “pagan”. Indeed, Brumidi has Washington surrounded by the most powerful pagan gods of antiquity.Beginning with this Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 we read of Nineveh's destruction.The prophet Nahum, having foretold the destruction of Sennacherib, we now read of him how the enemy of Judah is wholly cut off, then goes on to describe the destruction of Nineveh, and with it of his whole kingdom, and, under it, of antichrist and Satan.Here is foretold,(1) The approach of the enemy that should destroy Nineveh, and the terror of his military preparations 1-5.(2) The taking of the city, the captivity of the queen, the flight of the inhabitants, the seizing of all the wealth of it, and the mighty consternation it should be in, verses 6-10.(3) The true cause of all this, their sinning against Yahweh, and Yahweh's appearing against them, verses 11-13.2  the LORD = Yahweh. Let us not forget that this ruin shall fall on Nineveh because Yahweh is mindful of his chosen people, whom Assyria has oppressed.hath turned away = restoreth, or is on the way to bring back. In the Hebrew manuscripts we see that fantastic word ‘eth', that Aleph/Tav. By inserting this Hebrew ETH we see that it is truly Yahweh's hand into this destruction of Nineveh.the excellency = “gaw-ohn'”pre-eminence, could also mean pride.  for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches = The plunderers (the enemy) have plundered the Jews.  Yahweh will do this, because plunderers have plundered them (the Israelites), and destroyed their vines, cast them to the ground; that Yahweh may avenge the reproach cast upon His people. The plunderers are the heathen nations, especially the Assyrians. The vines are the Israelites; Israel as a people or kingdom is the vineyard; the vines are the families, and the branches are the members.3  mighty men = ghib-bore'; powerful; by implication warrior, tyrant, mighty ones, or warriors.4  The chariots shall rage in the streets = The chariots rave, dash madly about the open ways in the suburbs, or in the plains of the country.5  He. = The king of Assyriarecount = bethink himself of. worthies = nobles, who may assemble their troops6  gates = flood-gatesthe rivers. = Nineveh lay on the east (or left) bank of the Tigris. The Khusur (a perennial stream) ran through it; also a canal from it to the Tigris ran through the city. opened: = i.e. by the enemy. Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

In Germanic culture the Earth was considered especially sacred, exemplified by the fact that most sacred sites were found in groves, and specific trees were particularly designated as holy sites such as with the Donor Oak dedicated to Thor in Saxony, and the Irminsul - sacred pillars made from trees used at sites of worship.In Norse Heathen views, Jörð is synonymous with the Earth, translated her name literally means Earth. Throughout skaldic poetry she is also called Fjörgyn, Hlóðynn, Fold, and Grund, all of which also mean Earth. Beyond this she is seldom mentioned in the surviving sources thus we know very little about her aside from the fact that she was said to be the mother of Thor.

In this episode of Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller tackle the topic of the day: defunding Planned Parenthood, unpacking the complexities of federal funding through Medicaid and the potential effects of a Republican-led reconciliation bill. They explore a Supreme Court case that could allow states to exclude Planned Parenthood from Medicaid, discuss the organization's reported financial struggles, and critique the abortion movement's priorities. With sharp commentary and a touch of humor, the episode offers a pro-life perspective on a contentious topic.

Send us a textThrash Metal Lives On: Kragen Lum Talks Heathen's Bleed The WorldSeasoned guitarist Kragen Lum returns to IUF to discuss Heathen's electrifying live album, Bleed The World. It's been five years since our last conversation, and now, with the dust of the pandemic finally settled, Kragen is more than ready to unleash new music. This live release breathes new life into Heathen's catalog while offering fans a glimpse of what's to come. Despite only four albums since their 1980s debut, Heathen remains a cornerstone of classic thrash metal—an often-overlooked genre outside of the legendary Big Four.In our conversation, Kragen reflects on the current state of thrash and what the future may hold for bands like Heathen. Beyond his role as a guitarist, we also dive into his work as a producer, discussing the balance between both worlds and the challenges that come with it. His dedication to the craft is evident in every note of Bleed The World, making it a must-listen for any thrash fan. Tune in now, and be sure to buy and stream Bleed The World, out now worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records. And stay ready—new music from Heathen is coming sooner than you think.Stay connected with Heathen, visit: https://www.nuclearblast.com/pages/heathen, https://www.instagram.com/heathenthrash, and https://www.facebook.com/heathen.official/Stay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/

Formed in 1981 and hailing from Downey, California (the birthplace of the mighty Hetfield), thrash masters DARK ANGEL unleashed a darker, faster, more aggressive sounding brand of thrash, with a sound initially reminiscent of the death metal aesthetic present in Slayer's early work and later evolving into a more progressive, technical thrash sound resembling the latter part of Death's catalog.    Prepare to learn more about “the outer balloon knot” (‘the yurt' as it ‘twere)” and remember that when it comes to old school thrash, those guys “got a LOT to say” and a very short time in which to say it. Enjoy a spirited debate regarding cover songs relative to the originals that was 100% “from the heart”, learn more about the benefits of “The Express Package”, and don't forget to “microwave your melons” after you JOIN US as we learn more about the technical thrash genius of “The L.A. Caffeine Machine”, DARK ANGEL.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast   Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, or wherever you get your Podcasts.
