Daniel Farrand

Have you ever wondered "What is a Viking?", "Were Vikings tattooed?" or "Did they ever REALLY use the Blood Eagle? If so, then this is the right podcast for YOU.

In this podcast, follow along Daniel Farrand's (Owner of Horns of Odin) journey as he tries to make sense of the complex history of the Viking Age and Nordic Mythology, through easy to digest, funny, natural (and often very honest) conversations. 

Daniel is joined by Co-Host (and in house archaeologist) Margrethe Havgar, as the pair are joined by a host of guests; which include world leading scholars and Viking Age creators, to world renowned musicians and movie stars. 

So, if you've ever asked "Were Runes used for magic?" or "is Thor REALLY the only person who can lift his hammer?". We'll definitely have an episode on it

But be prepared to be told, "It's Complicated."

Nordic Mythology Podcast

Sigurboði is back to talk about his new single with Mathias and Daniel, but that's not all. First and foremost he's here to give us the hard truth about the runes! Are they magical? Can you use them as a compass? Did they come straight from Odin or take a roundabout journey through Portugal? The answers may surprise you. Together they also cover some very important other topics like: Why are sheep so sturdy? What do the Norse dwarves actually look like? And most importantly can a peasant take out a knight who has been knocked off a horse? The answers will be as complicated as they are amusing. 

Also if you have not check out Mathias's new book! It's Norse myths for kids, what's not to like?

Ep 23 - The Truth About Runes: Sigurboði Returns!

We are really honored this week to be able to talk about ancient music traditions with Oliver S. Tyr lead singer of the band Faun, as well as discuss their new single "Tamlin". Together with Mathias and Daniel he will be discussing the new surge of interest in pagan traditions and music because of the popular show "Vikings", as well as sharing stories of the early days of the band. Some highlights include: Oliver's surprising pre-Faun career, the latest unique instrument he acquired from (of all places) Colorado, and the difficulty of attracting the attention of modern ears using traditional sounds.

Ep 24 - All About Pagan Music with Faun Lead Singer Oliver S. Tyr

First things first, we've really got to apologize for the audio quality on this weeks episode. It is well below our standard of quality. The truth is coordinating recording setups in 3 different places is complicated and in this case the audio that was recorded using a new program for us was pretty damaged to begin with; our editor did what he could with it, but when you start from a bad place there's only so far you can come. From all of us at The Norse Mythology Podcast we are truly sorry. We are just three guys doing the best we can with the setups we have and this time things did not go our way, in future we will be upgrading some mics and monitoring our sound more closely to make sure this doesn't happen again. 

Now that that is out of the way lets talk about this weeks episode. This week Mathias and Daniel were lucky enough to sit down with Andrew Saulf aka The Seawolf. He's a really talented up and coming music artist whose work you can check out at: facebook.com/theseawolfmusic
You might even recognize a familiar voice on his latest track since our very own Mathias donated his vocal talent to the mix! But the gang wont just be discussing, "lofi Viking beats to relax/study to," they'll also be getting into the Norse creation myths, and how Midgard is actually protected by eyebrows. Also, possibly the best excuse in the ancient world, "It wasn't me, the swamp lady did it!"
