196: The Ways Of The North. The Hávamál with Dr. Ben Waggoner


Listen Later

This week we are joined by my colleague Dr. Ben Waggoner to discuss his translation of the Hávamál. The Hávamál is a poem from Iceland, written in Old Norse. We discuss the practical advice given in this work some of which is similar to the wisdom of the Stoics.
Ben has a podcast called Heathen History: https://www.heathenhistory.com/
His translations of Old Norse and other works can be found here: https://www.thetroth.org/shop/books-and-magazines.html

Here's an article on Old Norse philosophy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Norse_philosophy
