Between Two Ravens: A Norse Mythology Podcast

In Season 1 Episode 5, we continue our series on the Havamal. The sayings of Har. Life advice from Odin. Shawn gives an update on Dark Age history, and makes an argument for Viking Individualism. We discuss Odin's life advice from Stanzas 81 to 137. Who is Loddfafnir? Does Odin hate women? Is he a scorned lover? Does corn aid against witchcraft? Who could trust Odin anyways? Outro: The Havamal Breakdown (Earth Strength) arranged and performed by David.
