The discussion focuses on Norse mythology, noting that main written sources, such as Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda, were recorded in 13th-century Iceland, post-conversion to Christianity, necessitating caution in interpretation. The creation story involves the eternal void (Ginnungagap) meeting the fire world (Muspelheim) and the ice world (Niflheim), from which the primordial ice giant Ymir formed. The end of the world is Ragnarök, where the fire giant Surtr destroys the world and Loki sails the ship Naglfar, made from the nails of dead people. Snorri Sturluson, a major figure in this era, was murdered in his own basement around the 13th century on the orders of the Norwegian king during a time of civil war in Iceland.

This is an exciting Norse myth about how the world began, filled with adventure, imagination, and mighty heroes!
In times of rising frustration over the state of nations, times of personal, ecological, societal, and planetary impasse, when cycles of senseless suffering seemingly repeat themselves over and over, and all the global upheaval still isn't bringing about change... in times when stuck energies need to move and forces that have been restrained for generations long to break free, the myths offer visions of roarers, bellowers, trumpeters, and conch-blasters. These movers and shakers do more than release pent up energy. They awaken, they transform, and they announce the transition from one world to the next. So the howling storm gods of the Vedas "move the immovable" and the Goddess herself trembles the worlds with her cosmic roaring laughter and ushers in a new age. But the roar of the goddess is not just the roar of speaking truth to external powers — it is also an internal reckoning, a moment of reconciliation that takes place within us — a recognition of all those places in us that have gone dormant and need waking and all those old patterns that need to be shaken free. As bodies try to somatically process and metabolize the times we are living in, sometimes we need a good mother roar.... and we can learn much from traditions that harness the power of uttered sound to invoke help, to guard against intrusion, to dispel negative forces, and to carry us into states of deeper connectivity. Ready yourself for roars and bellows, trumpets of judgement, announcing angels, and a deep dive into the Norse Ragnarok myth with Rune Rasmussen of the Nordic animism channel. Because sometimes you gotta go full apocalyptic to meet the energy of the times. Featuring music from (and an interview with) Sakha songstress Snow Raven, songs, yelps, bellows, and shrieks from Marya Stark and Travis Puntarelli, appropriately doomy guitar from Sunny Reinhardt, and angelic calls from Jeunae Elita, this episode is designed to MOVE STUCK ENERGY, and then ultimately to channel it in creative and life-affirming ways. Listen loud and shake it free. Support the show

It's time for the weird giant battle. One of these seems to happen every book, and it's where we get super confused. Alex's clay creation, Pottery Barn, battles a lumpy clay giant, while TJ battles Hrungnir. Magnus just kind of stands there. Relatable king. We both wish we got to see more of Alex and Magnus's relationship developing. They defeat the giant and his clay friend, and are told to travel to Flam and take the train. But before they can do that, Blitz and Hearth return. It's time to face Hearth's father once again. They go to Alfheim and Alderman's home is not how they left it. Instead of a mean dad, they must face a mean dragon. We get a bit too deep because of Manasa's Thor's Rumbling question. Erin's question is silly, per usual.

This week, I was given the opportunity to join 'The Occult Rejects' yet again for a roundtable discussion as we explore the darkest layers of modern society -- which largely remain in the shadows -- deliberately obscuring the vision of the general public. Our undisclosed enemies, shrouded in darkness, intentionally unraveling the very moral fabric disrupting the international community at large.As we remain headstrong in the pursuit of truth, we stumble across the path of our common enemy possessed with the darkest ambitions unbeknownst to the vast majority, involving complicated coverups, sexual blackmail, childhood trauma, methods of mind-control, and even ritualized murder or blood sacrifice requiring the use of ancient runes by various groups who tend to believe in the magickal elements of neopaganism. We must first understand the reconstructed ideology of our enemy if we are to defend against them.Please consider supporting our work-Links For The Occult Rejects and The Spiritual Gangstershttps://linktr.ee/theoccultrejectsOccult Research Institutehttps://www.occultresearchinstitute.org/Cash Apphttps://cash.app/$theoccultrejects Venmo@TheOccultRejects Buy Me A Coffeebuymeacoffee.com/TheOccultRejectsPatreon/ theoccultrejects Austin's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheUnderclassPodcast Austin's Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540Austin's Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheUnderclassPodcastAustin's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC537aCO9IfH0Hk93KjCvV6Q#truedetective #delphimurders #neopaganism #odinism #ancientrunes #bloodritualsacrifice #richardallen #norsemythology #pantheon #odinBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540/support.

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

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.

Professor Michael York rejoins us to discuss the day Wednesday. Sort of. Wednesday is Woden's Day. Odin. But Wednesday is also Miercoles. Mercury. Who is often considered Hermes, who is usually associated with Hermod in the Norse panoply. Or is he? Where does Lucifer come in? Does he? Despite me making this mistake numerous times, it's Venus - not Mercury - that is the "morning star". How about Abraxus? Who? Well, you'll find out.Wednesday spilled into some confusion regarding Saturday, but the answer was recollected post production and is below. Mars became Tyr (Tuesday), Mercury became Odin (Wednesday), Jupiter became Thor (Thursday) and Venus became Frigg (Friday). Saturday came outside the system: The Norse form 'Saturday' means 'hot water day' - which can be translated as 'washing day' or 'washing water day'.It was originally the day that Norsemen took their baths.

After a little over 2 years and 20+ sessions, we have finally concluded our adventure through the Norse Kingdoms in Midgard and the remaining 8 worlds of Yggdrasill, the World Tree, where the Auspicious Signs were successful in stopping Ragnarok: the Twilight of the Gods. Journey to Ragnarok was in the campaign queue for quite a while (with DM Thorin originally wanting to run it) and DM Tony finally took the reins and led us through an epic adventure and campaign. In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down to review and wrap-up our Journey to Ragnarok campaign. Along the way, we delve into the tips and tricks that DM Tony used to tie characters into the story, capture the essence of a Viking campaign, introduce new classes, abilities, and even a new addition to the leveling system of 5e!3:12 DM Tony reveals the impetus behind running Journey to Ragnarok from Mana Project Studios as well as navigating the immense amount of lore in, not only the campaign setting, but in the breadth Norse Mythology.6:55 Tying the six characters into the world and the adventure as well as the flavor of the backgrounds in this setting.12:15 How restrictions in character creation (like being only human in the Viking lands) adds to the campaign and makes it special. Lean into them!13:15 Some examples of the new subclasses in Journey to Ragnarok as well as the entirely new class.18:00 The example from our finale of the ridiculously awesome and epic abilities of the Glima Monk!21:15 An aside into the balance between the theme of the character and the mechanics of the character.25:20 DM Tony's introduction of the Farthak Die and Rune Casting into our campaign… even without the Rune Master class.29:15 The introduction of “Icebreakers” during rests, etc. to encourage roleplay and character development.33:00 DM Tony's new additions to leveling – the concept of “Runic” levels.38:40 Understanding what your players are understanding and what they aren't – adjusting the sessions to work with the table you're at.45:28 Final Thoughts
