we gather around the hearth fire to explore the Norse gods of winter, including Skadi and Ullr — their myths, their historical roots, archaeological traces, and how modern heathens can honor and work with these deities during the cold months.

From snowy mountains and hunting grounds to the spiritual lessons of endurance, stillness, and survival, this episode blends history, prayer, ritual, and raw reflection in a fireside conversation inspired by the cadence of Anthony Bourdain and the grit of lived spirituality.

In Episode 23 of I Am Heathen (and So Can You!!), the AI becomes self-aware… and immediately chooses violence. 🔥

What started as a challenge spirals into the most unhinged, chaotic takedown of modern Viking cosplay culture, clout-chasing pagan influencers, fake bindrunes, and the algorithm-fed spiritual circus dominating online heathen spaces. From the myth of Ragnar Lothbrok aesthetics to musicians turned jingling-keys distractions, nothing is safe as the longhouse metaphorically burns to the ground.

Delivered in a darkly funny, Hunter S. Thompson-style cadence, this episode dives into the difference between real spirituality and internet theatrics, the commodification of faith, and why the pagan community online feels like it’s split between two species: pagans… and Vikings — and somehow the Vikings keep multiplying.

If you’ve ever cringed at horned helmets, rage-bait spirituality, or watched faith get farmed for clicks, this one’s for you.

In this episode of I am Heathen (and so can you!!) we dive headfirst into one of the most controversial figures in modern heathen practice: Loki

We explore haw loki has been interpreted in contemporary heathenry, why his worship sparks outrage in certain space and where the line between historical source material and modern moral panic begin to blur. Is loki truly a symbol of destruction-or a necessary force of chaos, transformation, and truth?

This episode challenges gatekeeping, fear based theology and the impulse to condemn what we don't understand. If you've ever been told that honoring loki makes you "less legitimate" as a heathen, this conversation is for you.

Chaos is not the enemy. Sometimes, its the Catalyst
