Happy Halloween / Samhain!
In this episode, I primarily focus on the Draugr.
I discuss their general history, connection to understanding of the afterlife, depictions in media as well as how they and other forms of the "dead" are connected in European and Eurasian Cosmology.
I also delve into karma, reincarnation, the afterlife, and respect towards the dead.

“Brodir had been a Christian and an ordained deacon, but he had cast aside the faith and become a renegade and sacrificed to heathen spirits and was very skilled in sorcery. He had armour which no steel could bite. He was both big and strong and had such long hair that he tucked it under his belt; it was black.”

Njal’s saga describes a strong Icelander named Brodir who, having been fully educated and ordained as a deacon, then reverted to the true faith.

An empowering and invigorating read.

This isn't an attack on him or a debate with him. (He isn't really worth engaging with).
Some of his research is 100% correct.
But the spirit and goal behind the majority of his posts aren't useful for those who practice folk, Indo-European, or Pagan faiths.

Instead, they are harmful.

Go forth, practice your faith in true earnest, in the spirit of your ancestors, but with viable, current, living expression!
