This week we're doing our first show and tell episode of the new year! By now you should know the format: Mathias and Daniel each bring some topics and we have a laid back old school episode. This week's topics are: did Vikings have an equivalent celebration to New Year's, a much deeper look at the origin of most modern Rune Magic, and Mathias's recommended reading list for the new year! In case you didn't catch them in the episode they can be found below. 

1. Poetic Edda by Carolyne Larrington

2. Snorri Sturluson Edda Anthony Faulkes

3. Saxo Grammaticus: The History of the Danes I-X Peter Fisher

4. Old Norse Mythology John Lindow

5. Dictionary of Northern Mythology Rudolf Simek
