Heathen Wyrdos Podcast - The Troll Cross (+ some troll talk)
Hello! Wyrdos Theo, Kenna and Sif talk about the origins of the troll cross. What is it? What is a troll? What is a trollrabbit? We get stuck in for a relatively quick episode that will lead to bigger things. We're sure of it. Brace yourself.

Heathen Wyrdos Podcast - The Nornir
Hello! Wyrdos Sif, Theo and Kenna talk all about the Nornir and realise that it's just really confusing. Like your podcasts with a touch of *CHAOS*, you've come to the right place. This is a wild one.
Stay tuned for the episode notes on discord, they'll be up soon because boy it's messy as heck./

Prose Edda
Poetic Edda
-
Voluspa-
She saw valkyries
come from far and wide,
ready to ride
to Goðþjóð.
Skuld held a shield,
and Skögul was another,
Gunnr, Hildr, Göndul
and Geirskögul.
-
Gyfaginning -
These are called Valkyrs: them Odin sends to every battle; they determine men's feyness and award victory. Gudr and Róta and the youngest Norn, she who is called Skuld, ride ever to take the slain and decide fights.
-
Gylfaginning, Prose Edda so we can blame Snorri- What are the Norns?
A hall stands there, fair, under the ash by the well, and out of that hall come three maids, who are called thus: Urdr, Verdandi, Skuld; these maids determine the period of men's lives: we call them Norns; but there are many norns: those who come to each child that is born, to appoint his life; these are of the race of the gods, but the second are of the Elf-people, and the third are of the kindred of the dwarves, as it is said here:
Most sundered in birth
I say the Norns are;
They claim no common kin:
Some are of Æsir-kin,
some are of Elf-kind,
Some are Dvalinn's daughters. *
Then said Gangleri: "If the Norns determine the weirds of men, then they apportion exceeding unevenly, seeing that some have a pleasant and luxurious life, but others have little worldly goods or fame; some have long life, others short." Hárr said: "Good norns and of honorable race appoint good life; but those men that suffer evil fortunes are governed by evil norns.
*Sif note: interesting, because this sort of echoes the Valkyries - that people can become Valkyries regardless of origin. It’s a title, an occupation, perhaps. Fate-weaving or something akin to that is something that was treasured and prized, leading to an elevated station, potentially. Which also echoes the real world and ‘women’s work’ which was crucial to Viking Age life. So many cool little connections.

Heathen Wyrdos Podcast - Let's Talk about Yggdrasil
This episode Wyrdo Sif is let loose on the cosmic space tree. Yggdrasil. Let's talk about it! It's fascinating stuff. Promise.
Excerpts and other things,
An ash I know there stands,
Yggdrasill is its name,
a tall tree, showered
with shining loam.
From there come the dews
that drop in the valleys.
It stands forever green over
Urdr's Well.
Voluspa
Poetic Edda
Eikthyrnir the hart is called,
that stands o'er Odin's hall,
and bites from Lærad's branches;
from his horns fall drops into Hvergelmir,
whence all waters rise:
- Thorpe, 1866

Heathen Wyrdos Podcast - The Web of Wyrd
Hello, hello and welcome to this episode of the podcast where the Wyrdos discuss all things Wyrd. Kenna takes the lead on this one, and we all have a fun discussing fate, orlog, hamingja and so many other things you can really get into and become a touch obsessed with.

Excerpts:
- Voluspa! (Kenna’s Favorite!!)
19. “An ash I know, | Yggdrasil its name,
With water white | is the great tree wet;
Thence come the dews | that fall in the dales,
Green by Urth's well | does it ever-grow.
20. Thence come the maidens | mighty in wisdom,
Three from the dwelling | down 'neath the tree;
Urth is one named, | Verthandi the next,--
On the wood they scored,-- | and Skuld the third.
Laws they made there, and life allotted
To the sons of men, and set their fates.”
- Helgakviða Hundingsbana I - Poetic Edda
2. 'Twas night in the dwelling,
and Norns there came,
Who shaped the life
of the lofty one;
They bade him most famed
of fighters all
And best of princes
ever to be.
3. Mightily wove they
the web of fate,
While Bralund's towns
were trembling all;
And there the golden
threads they wove,
And in the moon's hall
fast they made them.
4. East and west
the ends they hid,
In the middle the hero
should have his land;
And Neri's kinswoman
northward cast
A chain, and bade it
firm ever to be

Heathen Wyrdos Podcast - Evil in Heathenry
WELCOME TO SEASON 3!
This episode we come in like a wrecking ball to demolish the ideas around 'evil' in heathenry. It's not as simple as saying the Aesir are good and the Jotunn are bad. Want to know more? Listen in. Wyrdos Sif, Theo and Kenna discuss the origins of the word evil, and how it shouldn't be used to define or label our Nordic gods.

Völuspá 38-39, Ursula Dronke
Sal sá hón standa
sólo fiarri,
Nástrǫndu á,
norðr horfa dyrr.
Fello eitrdropar
inn um lióra.
Sá er undinn salr
orma hryggiom.
Sá hón þar vaða
þunga strauma
menn meinsvara
ok morðvarga
ok þannz annars glepr
eyrarúno.
Þar saug Nidhoggr,
nái framgengna,
sleit vargr vera.
Vitoð ér enn, eða hvat?
-----
A hall she saw standing
remote from the sun
on Dead Body Shore.
Its door looks north.
There fell drops of venom
in through the roof vent.
That hall is woven
of serpents’ spines.
She saw there wading
onerous streams
men perjured
and wolfish murderers
and the one who seduces
another’s close-trusted wife.
There Malice Striker (Nidhoggr) sucked
corpses of the dead,
the wolf tore men.
Do you still seek to know? And what?

Heathen Wyrdos Podcast - Altars Part II: The Chaos Returns
The Wyrdos revisit altars to talk more about altar related things. Do we change our altars seasonally? Spoilers: no. We also learn that explosible is a word. And now Microsoft is telling me it isn't. Be gone red line! You have no power here!
Rule number 1 of paganism: fire safety! Don't make your altars explosible.

Heathen Wyrdos Podcast Ep 9 - Feminism In Heathenry: Tradwives & Shieldmaidens
Hello! This week, Wyrdos Jai, Sif, Kenna, and Theo talk about Feminism in Heathenry. We tackle some of the views of the worst groups in heathenry in regards to women in Pre-Christian Scandinavia, including the nonsense that there were no women warriors in the sagas. We also touch on the sexualisation of the Valkyries and how the gods themselves transcend gender.
Disclaimer: Trans rights are human rights. Infuriatingly the academic language sticks rigidly to the gender binary, with little consideration to the greater spectrum.
For reference, Sif would like people to know that the women she mentions in the sagas are as follows (the captions decidedly did not like these names)
- Saxo writes about Hetha, Visna and Vebiorg, Alvild and her daughter, Gyrith
- Lagertha (not mentioned in the podcast, but is an obvious one)
- Freydis Eiriksdottir
- Thordis Sursdotir
- Audr and Thuridr
- Thorhildr Vadlaekkja
- Hervor Bjarmarsdottir
- Olof, Queen of Saxaland in the Saga of Hrolf Kraki
- And dozens of unnamed women warriors that pop up here and there in the sagas
- Mythologically speaking, we have the Disir, Fylgjur, Hamingjur, Valkyries and Nornir (Fylgjur and Hamingjur sometimes show themselves in more feminine forms). Skadi. Thorgerdr Holgabrudr and her sister Irpa in Jomsvikings Saga. We also have giantesses as warriors throughout the mythological sagas.

Heathen Wyrdos Podcast Ep 8 - Imposter Syndrome
Hello! This week, Wyrdos Jai, Sif, Kenna, and Theo talk about the dreaded Imposter Syndrome. It's super common among pagans on all paths - that feeling of being unworthy, or doing something wrong. There be mind goblins, and we talk about them. Hopefully, what we discuss here resonates with some of you. Just know, that it is absolutely normal.

Heathen Wyrdos Podcast Ep 6 - Red Flags and Dog Whistles
Hello! This week, Wyrdos Jai, Sif, Kenna, and Theo talk about red flags and dog whistles in heathenry and witchy spaces. From the black sun and winged othala/odal to TERF-y rhetoric on the greater pagan landscape, we hope to help illuminate the way for new pagans looking to avoid all of the minefields.

Heathen Wyrdos Podcast Ep 5 - Altars (and Tools)
Hello! This week, Wyrdos Jai, Sif, Kenna, and Theo sat down to talk about all things altars - those incredibly personal things that help form how we go about practising our religion and spirituality every day. Also featuring: Jai losing it at a gif of an Oompa Loompa polishing an egg.

Heathen Wyrdos Podcast Ep 2 - Heathens on a Budget (and in the Closet)
A.K.A. "Broke Bitch Praxis" (thanks, Kenna)
In this episode, the Wyrdos (Jai, Astrid, Sif, Kenna, and Theo) discuss how to heathen on a budget and in the broom closet. We may or may not descend into giggles at the sound of a wheezy unicorn. There is much hype around popsicle sticks.
Next up: Episode 3: Is it a deity?

A word of note. Please read things with discernment. There’s a huge issue with incorrect information based on how the book is written. Make sure to check (if you can) if the book is primarily historical information or UPG (unverified personal gnosis), just so you know what to expect. Also, if something has the word Viking in the name… maybe Google it with the author's name attached to avoid... awkward stuff in your search history.
