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."

 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nordic Mythology Podcast

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Sofie Draheim aka The Instagram Artist formerly known as: "Odinscrotum." Sofie also happens to be an expert when it comes to Skaldic Poetry and together with the boys she'll do her best to explain the complicated topic well enough that listeners can in turn flex on their friends for their weak understanding meter and rhyme structure. Granted it's a complicated flex, but well worth it!
