Today I bring you the second part of my interview with Jordain Cheng-Kinnander. In this first part of the interview, we get into his new book Beings fo Yggdrasil and all the work that went into researching the creatures, gods, and lore and if you haven’t already listened it, please do so. The link in the resources section below.

In today’s episode, Jordain picks up where he left off, talking about the gods of the ancient peoples. This slides into our conversation about homosexual relationships and sex as seen by the ancient Germanic peoples. Jordain expertly cites sources where these sexualities and practices were recorded in the past. At the end, Jordain shares with us a prayer he wrote many years ago, in old English, to the goddess Frigg. It was an absolute pleasure speaking with Jordain and having him in the kitchen studio. I’m sure he will be making an apperience on the podcast again.

If you want to read more of Jordain’s work, please visit the link below to purchase a copy of his most recent book Beings fo Yggdrasl. Not only will purchasing support Jordain and his work, but it supports our sponsor Magus Books and Herbs. Spread the love around.

We dive into the misconceptions of often co-opted by white supremacist or white nationalist groups surrounding ancient Germanic or Scandinavian religion and culture. What he has to say is so clear and informative it completely dismantles every argument someone with racialist tendencies might have. Finally, we start discussing the theology and practices we know about these ancient cultures and people through what art and iconography we know of. Additionally, Jordain is teaching a class at Magus Books all about the Runes on October 27th ; Details in the link.
