Between 2 Weirwoods #3: World-building

We believe that George R. R. Martin has put a lot of effort and thought into creating a deeper dimension of archetype and symbol in his writing. He’s created connections between past and future, between sky and ground. He’s built on classic figures from world mythology and twisted them around in new and incredible ways to fashion his own archetypal characters whose divine roles are played out by the characters in the story. He’s done all of this not only to be artistic and clever, but because he’s actually participating in a grand tradition of esoteric, symbolic art. Keeping this tradition alive is of critical importance and tremendous value to society, and that is why I believe this facet of A Song of Ice and Fire is so worthy of study. This podcast is intended to be our vehicle to explore these inner workings, and it is fueled by enthusiasm, yours and mine.

All of my favorite Daenerys theories, including endgames theories, mythical goddess parallels, theories involving Jon and Euron, and analysis of how her character parallels her magical plot. This is my ultimate Dany theory video, so I wanted it to be really good. Hope you enjoy!

Jon's recurring crypts dream that he can never quite finish? I think there's going to be a dragon at the end of it, and I have a theory about how and why, as well as a new theory about where dragon dreams come from in the first place. The Pact of Ice & Fire and the "Winterfell dragon" are also discussed, as well as how Jon will e a dragon waking from stone when he's resurrected.

Sothoryos, land of monsters and mystery - what in the Green Hell happened here? I'll explain it all - toad idol, fish people, Yeen and the Brindled Men, velociraptors and wyverns and basilisks, settlements by Old Ghis and Valyria, and a new origin theory concerning the Summer Isles.
