Norse Mythology: The Unofficial Guide

Episode 27 - Myths and Symbols with Joseph S. Hopkins

Listen Later

On this episode we are joined by Joseph S. Hopkins, an expert who has been quoted frequently on this show, to help us wrap our heads around our sources, how they fit into a broader sphere of Germanic religion, the importance of trees in Norse mythology, and just for fun, the often overlooked symbol of antlers and stags.
