What do ancient Viking symbols, a popular childhood video game, and modern witchcraft have in common? More than you think. In this eye-opening episode of Ex Psychic Saved, Jenn Nizza sits down with Ashleigh to uncover the truth about runes—what they are, how they're used in the occult, and why they're far from harmless alphabet tiles.Ashleigh shares her journey from discovering runes through the online game RuneScape as a fourth grader to eventually using them in ritual magic and divination. What started as “just a game” quickly spiraled into real-life spiritual darkness. Together, Jenn and Ashleigh expose how runes—steeped in Norse mythology and demonic deception—are being repackaged on social media and in games to lure the unsuspecting into dangerous practices.They also address a common argument from skeptics: Aren't runes just like casting lots in the Bible? The answer, rooted in Scripture and the presence of the Holy Spirit, might surprise you. This episode draws a sharp line between God's instruction and the enemy's imitation—shedding light on the spiritual cost of stepping outside of God's will.From blood rituals and binding spells to the viral rise of occult content on TikTok, Jenn and Ashleigh reveal the trajectory of these practices and why the consequences aren't just psychological—they're eternal. They also offer a bold warning for parents: Pay attention to what your children are watching, playing, and absorbing.You won't want to miss this powerful, unfiltered conversation about spiritual warfare, deception, and the saving power of Christ.

The Blue Origin New Shepherd flight, with an all-female crew, launched on April 14, 2025. From launch to return, conspiracies exploded all over the Internet with claims that the rocket was fake, the return capsule was fake, it was all staged, space isn't real, and so on. Author and model Emily Ratajkowski made it political, saying: "It just speaks to the fact that we are absolutely living in an oligarchy where there is a small group of people who are interested in going to space for the sake of getting a new lease on life while the rest of the population, most people on planet Earth, are worried about paying rent or having dinner for their kids.” And she is correct in a way, additionallu since Kalpana Chawla and Sally Ride seem to be ignored as pioneers of women in space. Rather than discussing such things, perhaps we should look at the significance of the names, dates, and symbols involved instead.Preparations for the flight were lengthy, but pre-flight would have begun on Palm Sunday, with the actual launch and return occurring on Holy Monday. As with the return of spring and resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday, both relating to death, life, and rebirth, so too does the Blue Origin capsule and mission exemplify these characteristics - from the all female crew to the messages of unity and peace displayed from start to finish, and finally to the nature of the rocket itself, which resembles an erect penis with exaggerated head. This penis projectile penetrated the blue above with its white sperm-head load being returned to the ground below at the onset of spring. The capsule carrying the women was named New Shepherd, a moniker of Jesus Christ (“I am the good shepherd” - John 10:11) and various other deities such as Orpheus and Hermes-Mercury (guide of souls known as Good Shepherd), who held sacred The Path. These shepherds or civilizers included Quetzalcoatl, and Osiris, or the green god of Egypt. It was Osiris who presided over the Hall of Judgement in the underworld, a place where the deceased's heart was weighted against the feather (often blue) of Ma'at, goddess of truth and justice. If the heart weighed more, being heavy with desire, it was consumed by the beast Ammit, but if the feather, or soul, weighed more, then it was set free with eternal life and granted passaged to the Field of Reeds. Although such Egyptian reeds to do not grow in Texas, similar plants and reeds do, which is a critical detail because this is where the spent white (sperm) capsule returned to earth. The logo of Blue Origin is also a blue feather, which shares something in common with the former Twitter-X logo and the alternative Blue Sky butterfly logo. One of the most famous people inside the capsule was Katy Perry, who had the nickname of “feather” since childhood, something not overlooked as she wore the blue feather on her suit during the mission. As seen in her Dark Horse video and in a 2019 social media post, Perry often references Egyptian mythology, and particularly that the heart should be lighter than a feather. Symbol dictionaries will tell us that a bird represents thought, imagination, synthesis, and sublimation. In Egypt, the bird was BA - the soul. A blue bird in particular is a representation of pure ideas. Blue butterflies represent transformation and new life, i.e., spring. In Greek mythology, the butterfly famously refers to the soul or mind, hence its name psyche.Perry is also on the New Shepherd video holding both a blue butterfly in one shot and a white daisy in another shot. These flowers represent much the same thing butterflies and birds symbolize, though they have a direct connection to the Norse goddess Freya, for whom Friday (Good Friday) is named. Furthermore, in Christian symbolism, a white daisy is the flower of the Virgin Mary, which historically has been a title and a surname of magdal-elder, meaning Watchtower of the Flock, the same flock the shepherd watches over. The Irish goddess Brigid (also Brighid) presided over the festival of Imbolc, an early spring holy day celebrating the end of winter. Known as the Exalted One, she was a goddess of healing, fertility, and birth. From The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Mythology, authors Arthur Cotterell and Rachel Storm confirm this: “Brigid, sometimes known as Brigit, was a goddess of healing and fertility who was believed to assist women in labour.” Spring is, of course, when the earth is reborn. Some have pointed out that the NS-31 logo can be inverted to show not a spaceship but a goat head, which is perhaps one of the most misunderstood symbols in the western world. The goat is Capricorn, Pan, Cernunnos, and various other characters with horns and features that remind many of the Devil, largely due to the usage of goats for the relieving of sin - scapegoats (Leviticus 16:8-10). It is from the goat horns that we get the term “horny,” yet another reference to sexuality and reproduction.  It is therefore no surprise that Jack Parsons, the infamous rocket engineer, invoked the name of the Greek god Pan before most rocket tests. Pan is a fertility god, and his invocation provides fertility for the test, the sexual imagery of the rocket itself, and so on. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The guys were joined in-studio this week by Colin Sellers—land surveyor, father, veteran, and part-time GPS wizard—joined us to discuss how moving around Georgia, joining the military, and raising a kid named Ragnarok (yes, like the Norse apocalypse) all led to one thing: a love affair with surveying that might just rival his affection for coffee. From dodging camels in Djibouti to resurrecting section corners like Indiana Jones with a data collector, Colin shares tales of grit, GPS, and generational wisdom—especially the time he and his son turned a Nebraska project into a family bonding moment worthy of a Pixar movie. He also dives into For The Quest, a geo-RPG that turns map-hunting into a noble pursuit, proving once and for all that surveyors can be adventurers too… just with more sunburns and fewer dragons. And of course, it all wraps up with a dose of philosophy, family values, and a reminder that the best education often comes from the dirt under your boots—not the letters after your name. Music by Tengger Cavalry!!!

In this mythically deep and wildly entertaining episode, Abbey, Ashe, Christy, and Jackie dive into dragons...literally. From Chinese imperial scrolls to Norse runestones and biblical Leviathans, the ladies trace the global lore of these legendary creatures and wonder: were dragons real, and if so, what happened to them? The conversation then pivots to maternal intuition and spiritual sensitivity, with reflections on female instinct, remote viewing, CIA psy-ops, and divine discernment. Then, things get delightfully weird as they unpack the Mandela Effect, debate cereal logos, and spiral into Rick and Morty-style multiverse mayhem. Come for the dragons, stay for the spicy dragon soul bonds and existential shower thoughts. You'll laugh, you'll think, and you might even check your Fruit of the Loom tags.

This meditation helps practitioners better understand the meanings and significance of any one of the Elder, Younger, and Anglo-Saxon runes. For this meditation, you will need a guide to the meaning of the runes.

I'm taking you on a journey back in time to uncover the story behind how Iceland got its name. This tale involves three adventurous Norsemen who each left their mark on this rugged island, but only one name endured through history. The First Two Vikings That Tried to Name The Landmass To hear the whole story about the first two Vikings that named this country, I have included that in The Savvy Traveler's Guide to Iceland. I created The Savvy Traveler's Guide to Iceland, a comprehensive 8-module video guide that walks you through everything you need to know before visiting. I even have a whole module dedicated to Icelandic History in a Nutshell, where I talk about how Iceland was formed, settlement, the transition from paganism to Christianity, and tons more.Not only that, but when you get the guide, you'll have lifetime access, bonus itineraries to make planning easier, and access to my free and private Facebook group, where I share specially curated Iceland travel posts and do a live Q&A each month!If you want to feel completely confident and stress-free about your trip, you can check out The Savvy Traveler's Guide to Iceland The Viking That Named Iceland In 868 AD, a Viking named Flóki Vilgerðarson set sail from Norway with the full intention of settling in Iceland. He wasn't just any Viking—he was known as Hrafna-Flóki or “Raven Flóki.” He got this nickname because he brought three ravens with him to help navigate the open seas.Once he reached the Faroe Islands, Flóki released his ravens one by one. The first flew back toward the Faroes, the second circled and returned to the boat, and the third flew northwest and never came back. Flóki, believing this meant land was nearby, followed the third raven—and sure enough, he reached Iceland.Flóki and his companions settled in Vatnsfjörður in the Westfjords. The summer was warm and full of fish, so they focused all their efforts on fishing instead of preparing for the harsh winter ahead. When the cold finally set in, disaster struck. Without enough hay, all their livestock perished. By spring, they had no choice but to leave.Before departing, Flóki climbed a mountain and looked out over the fjords. He saw thick ice covering the waters and, in his frustration, named the land Ísland—Iceland. Unlike the previous names, this one stuck, and the island has been called Iceland ever since. A Viking's Regret & A Land of Opportunity What's fascinating is that when Flóki returned to Norway, he had nothing good to say about Iceland. He believed it was a harsh, uninhabitable land. However, one of his crew members, Thorólf, disagreed.He spread rumors that Iceland was so abundant that butter dripped from every blade of grass! This contrasting view sparked curiosity, and soon, more settlers followed, leading to the beginning of permanent Norse settlement in Iceland. Random Fact of the Episode Beyond the Viking Names: Ultima Thule & Nordic Identity Before Iceland had an official name, ancient Roman and Greek texts referred to mysterious lands in the far north as Ultima Thule, meaning “the farthest place beyond the known world.”In the Middle Ages, some maps labeled Iceland as Thule and Greenland as Ultima Thule. Interestingly, by the 19th century, people started associating Thule with Norway instead.While Iceland's name may have been given by a frustrated Viking, the settlers who followed developed a strong sense of identity as Íslendingar—people of Iceland. Despite their ties to the greater Nordic world, they wanted to maintain their distinct culture, which still thrives today. Icelandic Word of the Episode Áfram Ísland – Let's go Iceland!

POTUS TRUMP AIMS TO ACQUIRE GREENLAND FOR HEMISPHERE DEFENSE.  4/4: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America by  Martyn Whittock  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/American-Vikings-Sailed-Imaginations-America/dp/1639365354 The geographical reach of the Norse was extraordinary. For centuries medieval sagas, first recorded in Iceland, claimed that Vikings reached North America around the year 1000.

“I swear I will not flee from this fight. I will triumph, or I will die!” In the 1066 game of thrones for the crown of England, the most extraordinary of the three contenders is arguably Harald Hardrada: viking warrior, daring explorer, emperor's bodyguard, serpent slayer, alleged lover to an empress, King of Norway, and legend of Norse mythology. How did this titan of a man come to cross the North Sea with his army, and take on Harold Godwinson, in the titanic showdown of Stamford Bridge? His story before this point is so colourful that it may be one the most exciting lives in all history. Fighting from the age of twelve, Harald was born to a petty regional king of Norway, in a Scandinavia of competing religions and kingships. As a teenager, he would then join his fearsome brother Olaf, the man who united Norway but later fell foul of King Cnut, and subsequently sailed the seas and mysterious waterways of Russia, in a mighty battle to take back Norway. Their defeat was terrible and absolute, leaving the young Harald wounded and on the run. A journey of horrors and hardship would then lead him at last to the awe inspiring city of Kyiv, where he would serve as mercenary for the Grand Prince. But still hungry for wealth and glory he then travelled on to the most remarkable city in the world: Constantinople, where his life would take an even more dramatic turn… Join Dominic and Tom as they describe the electrifying early life of Harald Hardrada. From Scandinavian prince, warrior, and would-be usurper, to Baltic mercenary, and member of the elite Varangian Guard, in the glittering Constantinople or Miklagard - Asgard on earth. The stage is set for the greatest adventure of his life so far. But will Harald ever seize his ultimate destiny and become a king?

Snuggle up listener! It's time to drift off to sleep with the relaxing tones of The Silly History Boys (well... Bilbo and Pear Bear) and the Enchanting music of Guild of Ambience once again!   This time we're doing Norse stories... which we'll probably end up making full blown episodes one day as they're great fun and full of adventure!   ...but also very relaxing.   Thanks to Guild of Ambience for their track Enchanted Lands Vol 1.

In this episode, we talk about monstrous and mythical forms a much-maligned animal: the wolf. We'll begin with the biggest and most dangerous of them all: the Great Wolf Fenrir from Norse mythology, prophesied to destroy the world by swallowing the sun. We also look at fairy tale wolves, the raijū of Japanese folklore, and the crucial role that wolves play in many stories of indigenous North American cultures. Visit the World of Mythik website to learn more and to contribute your theories to our board! All stories told on Myths & Muses are original family-friendly adaptations of ancient myths and legends. Stories from ancient mythology can also sometimes deal with complicated topics for young listeners — to the mortal parents and caretakers reading this, we encourage listening along with your young demigods to help them navigate those topics as they explore these epic tales.

Join your host for an examination of vengeance, its place in Nordic myth, a dive into examples from the tales of Volund & Ragnarok, and what this means for the modern Heathen.

Welcome to Tønsberg! Tønsberg is Norway's oldest city. Tønsberg is best known for its annual music festival—Slottsfjell, Castle Rock Tower—Slottsfjelltårnet, and its Viking origins.  More recently, Tønsberg's inhabitants have discovered Podcasting. They have more podcasts per capita than Norway's capital, OSLO! Imagine that! This episode highlights the following three pods from the hundreds available on the Tønsberg Podcast Network: Braids & Beards: Hosted by Sven and Sandy Percy. Their marriage may be on the rocks, but their knowledge of seasonal braids and artificial beards is second to none! Who Needs Ikea Anyway: Hosted by Braun Holtzmann and Phil. Braun may have a method to his madness, but dropping Phil in Ikea with only 15 minutes to escape does seem cruel. Valhalla: Blissfully married couple, Astrid and Bjorn Olsen share control and instruct listeners on incorporating "olde-world Viking traditions" into the modern-day home. Sponsors include Oseberg Ship Experiences, Marvel Locations Tours, Do We Have a Match, Tønsberg Ikea, Slottsfjell, Sir Anthony Hopkins Vertshus, Magnus' Diner, Viking Funerals, Olsen Jams, Horny Cups, Pickles, and a few others... you know who you are!

Gwyn and Ode talk about what's happened so far, what's probably coming up, and bolstering ourselves against all of that. Also for some reason we sound like we're recording at the bottom of a well! Mysterious!

dary! And welcome to Episode 99 of The Last Standee Podcast! In this episode, stars align and omens appear as we are about to kiss goodbye to two digits for good! The episode begins as usual, with a Standee Catchup with Fen and Cara, of dogs and humankind so to say. Then we begin with Freedom Five, a Defenders of the Realm game from Greater than Games: Fen does the honors here; fun fact: the game has four expansions and a promo which appear to be engulfed in a time paradox (see BGG stats!). The three of us then continue with two games from Cara's fortnightly game night - Big Shot and Qwirkle - great additions to any collection, if a little aged. To finish up, Alessio talks a bit about Odin (the Norse deity, not the number one in languages with Cyrillic alphabet), the proud winner of As D'Or 2025. And that's about it! See you next episode!

George Noory and author Paul Wallis explore evidence of alien visitation to Earth uncovered at ancient archeological sites, artifacts discovered in Turkey that could prove extraterrestrial contact after Noah's flood, and how Norse mythology of gods may actually be stories of aliens.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We start off this week by discussing a fan-made Norse godly parent quiz (link below!) and having some deep self analysis. Then Blitz has a crafting contest and wins, thanks to Sam's animorphing powers. The gang escapes the angry dwarves, and in the process, they discover that the Sword of Summer can talk! We have PTSD because of the Arrow of Dodona. Erin proposes a theory about Rick's fixation on speaking objects in 2015. Magnus gets to see Loki again via dream, and then we meet our new favorite character, Otis the goat. Otis is the GOAT. They head to find Thor and figure out where Fenris wolf is.
