Today I chat with Genevieve Gornichec about her Viking myth and history retellings, THE WITCH'S HEART and THE WEAVER AND THE WITCH QUEEN. I appreciate your patience waiting for this episode while I dealt with computer crashes and replacement, but I assure you it's well worth the wait. We talk about these little known characters and why they remain relevant to our lives. We also chat about shield maidens and craft vs art throughout art history. It's fascinating and I'm so happy I got to include her in my Month of Witches.

Join David as he chats with author Genevieve Gornichec about her debut novel, The Witch's Heart, which has just been released in paperback! https://genevievegornichec.com/ https://twitter.com/gengornichec https://www.facebook.com/gengornichec
Debut author Genevieve Gornichec discusses her novel “The Witch's Heart.” We dive into (our favorite!) research rabbit holes about Norse mythology, what inspired Genevieve to create Angrboda's story, creating Loki's voice in the novel and so much more. Be sure to check out our shop on Bookshop.org to be able to help support independent bookstores and this podcast. You can find “The Witch's Heart” under "Featured Books."
My guest for this episode is author Genevieve Gornichec, who joined me talk about her recent novel the Witch's Heart, a story set in the time of the ancient Norse myths and centered around the enigmatic witch Angrboda, who is crucial to the cataclysmic events of Ragnarok but only features briefly in the narrative we know from the Prose and Poetic Eddas. In the interview I talk with Genevieve about how she re-imagined Angrboda from her traditional counterpart and focused on some of the lesser-known characters from Norse mythology when telling her story. We also discussed the insights that can be gained into the nature of gods and supernatural beings from writing a story about them and exploring their ontology through the imagination and how that might help us understand the paranormal experiences and high strangeness reported across the world in more modern times.

To buy the podcast a coffee go to https://ko-fi.com/someotherspherepodcast. Thank you! The first reading is from the Witch's Heart.

We're doing book chasers this week and it's all on feminist retellings - and we're looking into 3 books that go into Greek mythology, Norse mythology, and a famous Ballad. These books are debuts and are so good we can only curl up in envy even as we are devouring them. We delve into feminine power, motherhood, consequences and gender among other things and peeled back why our myths punish women so much. Books we dived into are The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec, Ariadne by Jennifer Saint, and Sistersong by Lucy HollandExcerpt credits:Genevieve Gornichec in conversation with Jenny Lawson: https://youtu.be/unXlakWQQ2kInterview with Jennifer Saint: Author of Debut Novel Ariadne: https://youtu.be/og1d4_Uv3WYFolk Tale Retellings | Sistersong by Lucy Holland: https://youtu.be/SzcfMSJfhE8Music credits: Bossa Antigua by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3454-bossa-antiguaLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseErrigal by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3715-errigalLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseSuonatore di Liuto by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4440-suonatore-di-liutoLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
