Podcasts about Norse

Connect with Mel Connect with Coach MikkiWhat if “unlucky” is just a story we inherited, and we're free to rewrite it? We kick things off with Friday the 13th and follow the thread through Norse myths, the Last Supper, and the Knights Templar to see how fear gathers power over time. Then we flip the script with Galentine's Day, turning a date with a bad reputation into a bright spot for friendship, humor, and everyday love that doesn't wait for a calendar prompt.From there, we lose it in laughter talking about  the rituals we learned as kids, honking through tunnels, lifting our feet over railroad tracks, counting cows until a cemetery reset, still echo in how we chase luck and ward off jitters. We share the nostalgia of vintage toys and board games (yes, Operation's terrifying buzz and Monopoly debt at age 10), plus the handmade Barbie outfits that prove fashion really does come back around—hello again, shoulder pads. These memories aren't just cute; they're a map of how culture changes and how we choose what to keep.We also open up about what we're building now. Mel's crafting seasonal word search books, sketching cozy mysteries, and launching a stock photo portfolio. Mickey's fresh off a keynote on why comfort zones kill success and is racing to finish a new book before a small East Coast signing tour. Creativity becomes our counterspell to superstition: show up, make something, share it. That's how we make our own luck.If you've ever wondered why 13 feels spooky, whether numerology helps or hinders, or how a sitcom joke turned into a global celebration of women's friendship, you'll feel right at home here. Come for the folklore and stay for the heart, the laughs, and the reminder that joy lands best when it's shared. If this conversation made you smile, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review, what superstition are you still carrying? We look forward to seeing you succeed! - www.KeepOnSharing.com - Code - KOSSupport the showJoin my guests on my YouTube Channel

Today I'm reviewing Bane of Asgard by Cinda Williams Chima—a fantasy that draws heavily from Norse mythology, weaving gods, destiny, and looming war into a high-stakes adventure.This story leans into mythic scope and heroic conflict, blending familiar Norse elements with character-driven stakes and a fast-moving plot. If you're into gods meddling in mortal affairs, fate vs. free will, and epic fantasy with mythological roots, this one is worth checking out.

Gwyn and Ode (+Jax!) discuss making things.

With the 2026 Winter Olympics in full swing, let's take you on a journey to the Norse Olympics in the Land of the Giants! Thor and Loki make their way to Utgard where King Utgard-Loki challenges them to feats in order for them to stay. But, not all is as it seems... Collected from Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda and "Folklore and Legends of Scandinavia" edited by Charles Tibbitts.  Show notes can be found on our website at: www.talesfromtheenchantedforest.com You can also find us on: Bluesky Mastodon Instagram   TikTok

Between the 9th and 11th centuries Norse explorers undertook a series of remarkable journeys through the North Atlantic. Iceland and Greenland were settled by medieval farmers eager to find new uninhabited lands. But just how far west did these seafarer's manage to travel? The unique Icelandic texts known as the sagas tell tales of journeys to a fertile and abundant country south west of Greenland named Vinland, or the Land of Wine, for the wild grapes that allegedly grew there. Archaeology has proven that the Norse managed to reach Northern Newfoundland, but could the rocky North Peninsula really be the "land of wine" blessed with "frostless winters?" Where was Vinland? Did it ever truly exist? Tune-in and find out how magical sleeps, violent troll tests, and saga story-time all play a role in the story.

In this long-awaited episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats with Clay Martin, Priest of the Path of the Barbarian Spirit and author of three incredible books including: Barbarian Spirit, Prairie Fire, and Wrath of the Wendigo. Clay has taken an unusual-- but very shamanic-- road to becoming a full-time Woo Woo practitioner. He had a long and illustrious military career in active duty, having served as an infantryman, Scout Sniper, and Reconnaissance Marine and, after transitioning to the Army, he joined the 19th Special Forces Group before returning to active duty with the 3rd Special Forces Group. ​In 2013, Clay was medically retired, and what followed was a difficult spiral into chaos. But, in 2022, Clay underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy for traumatic brain injury. Six months later, he had his first psilocybin experience. Clay now calls psilocybin "the Sacrament", and believe that true healing begins at the spiritual level. Since his use of the Sacrament, he has encountered Norse gods, channeled visions of the future, and dedicated himself to a life of healing service to other wounded warriors. He is also now an active, working priest in his pagan church, reconnecting military veterans to the old gods and the old ways. Clay upends everything The Business of Woo tells you a New Age practitioner looks, sounds, and acts like. This episode kicks off our dude-only season of the podcast for precisely this reason: men are often underrepresented and underserved by the Business of Woo, often feeling alienated and "uninvited" to this space. The result? We all suffer from the monopoly of enshittified sameness.Clay, and others like him, are challenging this paradigm. And we here at TOTEM and The Skeptical Shaman podcast sure are happy about it.LINKS:Rachel's Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachPlease support the Sponsors of The Skeptical Shaman Podcast:TOTEM + PUCK HCKY Merch Drop: https://puckhcky.com/collections/totemThe TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXTOTEM Spiritual Transformation Coaching: https://www.totemreadings.com/coachingTOTEM Business of Woo Mentoring: https://www.totemreadings.com/business-of-wooClay's Links:Website: https://www.barbarianspirit.com/IG: https://www.barbarianspirit.com/Please note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Another Marvel character, Simon Williams (aka Wonder Man), got his own streaming series. This "review" isn't just going to re-read the Wikipedia entry; we're diving deep into the ionic-powered deep end to figure out if this show is a legit hit or just another forgettable piece of spandex-clad filler. Introduction: Wonder Man? Is That a Store Brand Hero?For those of you who just know Captain America and the one with the hammer, Simon Williams is basically the MCU's resident struggling actor/stuntman who also happens to be a walking ball of pink energy. He's an Avenger sometimes, but mainly he's the guy who has to deal with his super-villain brother, Grim Reaper, who probably still shows up uninvited to Thanksgiving. We're setting the scene for how Hollywood turned this surprisingly messy comic book star into a prestige TV series—and if they remembered to include the ego.Episode-by-Episode: The Roller Coaster of "What Is Happening?"Starfleet Academy - Episode 4 Analysis: This week, we offer an in-depth review and analysis of the fourth episode of Starfleet Academy.

We examine the current information stream, speculating on the new mythology the game will explore following the Norse saga. Will Kratos and Atreus venture to ancient Egypt, Japan, or another mythological pantheon? We discuss potential gameplay innovations, the evolving relationship between Kratos and his son, and the monumental expectations surrounding the follow-up to Ragnarök.Highlander Reimagining Update: The long-awaited Highlander reboot/reimagining, starring Henry Cavill, has new details emerging. We cover the latest production updates, the creative direction being taken by director Chad Stahelski (of John Wick fame), and how the new film intends to honor the classic 1986 original while introducing the "Immortal" concept to a new generation. There can be only one—but what will this new iteration look like?And MUCH MORE!

In this episode, BT explores the themes of dissolution and rebirth through the lens of mythology and psychology. He delves into the alchemical process of transformation, using the Norse myth of Ymir as a metaphor for the cycles of death and rebirth that occur in our lives. Drawing on the insights of Carl Jung, he emphasizes the importance of embracing the chaos of the unconscious as a source of nourishment and wisdom. The conversation highlights the sacred nature of dissolution and the potential for new beginnings that arise from it.For further study, see this website: jungny.com

In this episode, we sit down with archaeologist Cecilia Ljung from Uppsala University to explore one of the biggest transformations of the Viking Age: the shift from Norse pagan traditions to Christianity.Through graves, runestones, and early towns, we follow the physical evidence of how belief, ritual, and daily life changed across Scandinavia.Subscribe to stay updated!

This episode and the following are a tour of some of the world's apocalyptic traditions outside of the Judaic, Gnostic, Christian, and Millenarian which have been explored already. This episode includes those of Islam, Norse, Egypt, Aztec, Maya, Inca, China, and Japan. By this means we can appreciate one of the features of the archetype – its widespread occurrence across the world's civilizations.

Send us a textWinter has long been understood as more than a season of cold and scarcity. Across myth, folklore, and esoteric tradition, it marked a profound metaphysical turning inward — a time when the Earth was believed to “inhale,” drawing life, spirit, and consciousness back toward its core.In this episode of The Hidden Passage, we explore the spirits of winter and the role they played in shaping human consciousness, morality, and balance. Drawing on Indigenous North American traditions, Norse mythology, and esoteric philosophy (anthroposophy, theosophy), we examine how winter was seen as a season of instruction, restraint, and revelation — when hidden forces emerged to preserve order or expose excess.We look closely at: • Earth spirits, gnomes, and dwarves as preservers of form and memory • Winter teaching traditions and the invocation of the manitou as muse • Household spirits, tutelary beings, and sacred restraint • Monsters of winter as expressions of imbalance rather than simple evil • The wendigo as a cosmological figure of excess, hunger, and loss of self • How cosmic forces shape human behavior (based on the work of Rudolf Steiner) — and how balance restores freedomRather than treating monsters as external threats, this episode explores winter as a revelatory force — exposing what has grown out of proportion and clarifying the boundaries necessary for human freedom.

 In this episode, we'll focus on new onset refractory status epilepticus or NORSE, and its closely related presentation, febrile and infection related epilepsy syndrome, known as FIRES. NORSE and FIRES are clinical presentations where the evidence is limited, stakes are high, and treatment often has to begin before the diagnosis is clear. They also raise broader questions about how neurology can respond to rare but catastrophic illness, including how patients, families and researchers can work together to move the field forward. For an update on NORSE and FIRES, we spoke with Dr. Howard Goodkin and Dr. Larry Hirsch. Dr. Goodkin is the Shure professor of neurology and pediatrics at University of Virginia. Dr. Larry Hirsch is a professor of neurology at Yale University. They were interviewed by Dr. Ifrah Zawar, assistant professor of neurology at the University of Virginia.  Disclosures: Dr. Hirsch has received consultation fees for advising from Ceribell, Natus, & UCB and honoraria for speaking/training from Neuropace & Natus.

In this episode of the Paddy Wagon , Mike welcomes Melissa Sifjardóttir, founder and creator of Sif Sniffs, who shares her unique journey through the world of feederism, weight gain, and personal transformation. Melissa recounts her experiences starting from her early fascination with fat fashion and the fetish community, where she reached a peak weight of 540 pounds. She discusses the complexities of her relationships within the feederism community, the challenges of body image, and the societal perceptions surrounding weight. As the conversation unfolds, Melissa also touches on her transition to becoming a fitness instructor and her ongoing journey of self-acceptance and health, including her recent weight loss and the impact of her growth hormone issues on her body. Melissa Sifjardóttir also shares her stories from being a fitness instructor to navigating the complexities of health issues and ultimately finding her passion in perfumery. She discusses her struggles with medical professionals who dismissed her concerns about growth hormone levels, leading to a significant weight loss after finally receiving the right diagnosis. Melissa also delves into her experiences during the pandemic, including her involvement in a cult-like group focused on Norse magic and how it influenced her life choices. The conversation highlights the importance of community, personal growth, and the challenges of transitioning from one career to another, especially in the creative field of fragrance-making.  You won't want to miss this one, folks!!

Around 1,000 years ago, new arrivals reached the shores of Newfoundland. They were the Norse, and on the island they established at least one settlement and met the Indigenous inhabitants. They predated the arrival of John Cabot by almost 500 years. ORDER MY FIRST HISTORY BOOK!

The Vinland sagas were right about Norse voyages to North America. The Amazon legends were confirmed by graves full of warrior women in the Russian steppes. Once again, the old stories proved more accurate than scholars assumed. But these same traditions preserve another pattern we have yet to take seriously. Our ancestors walked this earth for a very long time before history began. They were not idle. They were learning. And some of what they learned, they managed to pass down, encoded in legends we are only now beginning to take seriously.​​Follow Viking Superpowers here! --- ​https://www.youtube.com/@vikingsuperpowers and get the book here ​https://www.amazon.com/Viking-Superpowers-Suppressed-Technology-Spacefaring/dp/1764091817/ref=sr_1_1​​Follow Salsido Paranormal here! -- www.salsidoparanormal.com and get the book here ​https://www.amazon.com/Salsido-Paranormal-Experiences-James/dp/B0DD3SFF61/ref=sr_1_1​​If you are having a mental health crisis and need immediate help, please go to​ ​​​https://troubledminds.org/help/ and call somebody right now.

Clan MacDowall (often rendered MacDougall or MacDowell in later forms) represents one of the most significant Gaelic kindreds of medieval Galloway, rooted in the same west-Gaelic world that shaped the clans of Argyll and the Hebrides. Emerging from the Gall-Ghaidheil milieu—a fusion of Gaelic and Norse influence—the MacDowalls were established as regional lords in Galloway well before the Wars of Independence, holding land and authority through kinship rather than later feudal clan structures. Like many Galloway families, they became entangled in the political struggles of the late 13th and early 14th centuries, and their alignment with the Balliol cause brought lasting consequences after Robert the Bruce's victory, contributing to the erosion of their power and territorial base. Though often overshadowed in popular clan narratives, the MacDowalls illustrate how deeply Gaelic Galloway was integrated into the wider clan world of medieval Scotland—and how its clans paid a heavy price for backing the losing side in the struggle for the Scottish crown.Scottish Clans WebsiteClandanas and Battle ShirtsContribute to the Cause on Patreon!USA KiltsScottish Clans on YouTube

The most careless readers can hardly fail to see that many of the Tales in this volume have the same groundwork as those with which they have been familiar from their earliest youth. They are Nursery Tales, in fact, of the days when there were tales in nurseries--old wives' fables, which have faded away before the light of gas and the power of steam.

In this episode, host BT explores the depths of myth and the journey of self-discovery through the lens of Norse mythology, particularly focusing on Odin as the archetype of the seeker. He delves into the significance of sacrifice for wisdom, the confrontation with the shadow self, and the chaos represented by figures like Fenrir and Loki. The conversation culminates in the understanding of Ragnarok as a necessary breakdown for transformation and the emergence of a new self, inviting listeners to embrace their own mythic journey.

ASSIMILATION AND THE SALME SHIP MYSTERY Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. Barraclough highlights how the Norse assimilated into Eastern cultures, adopting Slavic names and gods within generations. The focus then turns to a major mystery: the Salme ship burials in Estonia, discovered in 2013. These burials, dated to around 750 AD, predate the Lindisfarne raid and contain warriors buried with high honors, including gaming pieces and falcons, despite having died violently. Barraclough suggests this might have been a diplomatic mission gone wrong. A key artifact mentioned is a King piece from the board game hnefatafl found in a leader's mouth, adding to the mystery of who buried them. NUMBER 3

ELIQUARIES, MARRIAGE, AND AMULETS Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. Barraclough explains how religious reliquaries looted from monasteries were often repurposed as jewelry for women in Norway. She discusses the theory that female infanticide may have caused a shortage of women, motivating young men to raid for wealth to secure marriage. The conversation then examines a human skull fragment from Ribe, Denmark, carved with runes. Barraclough interprets this object as a protective amulet against dwarves or elves, which the Norse believed caused sickness, illustrating their concept of an unseen world influencing physical reality. NUMBER 4

MYTHOLOGY AND THE MURDER OF SNORRI Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. Barraclough discusses the difficulty of accessing Norse beliefs, as most sources, like Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, were written post-conversion. She outlines dramatic myths, including the creation of the world from the giant Ymir and its destruction at Ragnarok, featuring a ship made from the fingernails of the dead. The segment covers Snorri's life as a politician in 13th-century Iceland during a bloody civil war. Barraclough recounts his assassination in his own basement on the orders of the Norwegian king, noting his final words were "don't strike." NUMBER 5

THE LONELY END OF NORSE GREENLAND Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. The final segment explores the disappearance of the Norse settlement in Greenland, focusing on the Herjolfsnes graveyard. Preserved clothing from the 15th century reveals garments that were patched repeatedly, symbolizing the colony's isolation and poverty. Barracloughdescribes a poignant detail: a woman's dress that ripped as she was buried, marking the end of the settlement. Factors discussed include a cooling climate and interactions with the Inuit, evidenced by carved wooden figures. The history closes with a report of a witch burning in 1407, near the colony's end. NUMBER 8

 VIKING AS ACTIVITY: THE NORSE EXPANSION WESTWARD Colleague Martyn Whittock. Whittock defines "Viking" as an activity of enterprise and raiding, not just an ethnicity. He explains that disruptions in the Islamic silver trade and population growth drove Norse expansion westward. This movement eventually reached the British Isles, Iceland, and Greenland, setting the stage for voyages to North America. NUMBER 1

LEIF ERIKSON AND THE DISCOVERY OF VINLAND Colleague Martyn Whittock. Whittock details how Norseexplorers like Leif Erikson moved west from Greenland, discovering Helluland, Markland, and Vinland around 1000 AD. Citing sagas, he argues that while physical evidence stops at Newfoundland, descriptions of wild grapes suggest they reached further south, potentially to New Brunswick or Maine. NUMBER 2
