In this episode of Fireside Frith, we explore the heart of ancestor veneration: what it means, why it matters, and how to build meaningful connections with those who came before us. From the ancient Norse concept of the Disir and Alfar to modern practices of remembrance, we’ll talk about how honoring our ancestors keeps us grounded, strengthens our sense of community, and helps us weave our stories into the greater web of Wyrd.

Whether you’re new to Heathenry or deepening your existing practice, this episode offers reflection, inspiration, and practical steps for connecting with your roots.

Listen now and join the circle;  your story is part of something much bigger.
