Sissel Morken Gullord is a Scandinavian musician and singer living on a farm in Biri, Norway.

Philippe G. Willis hosts Our Numinous Nature, a series that moves through landscapes both physical and cultural. Rather than a standard history lesson, this podcast is built on journeys to the source, seeking out the profound narratives woven into specific regions. Each episode is shaped by encounters with people whose lives are deeply intertwined with their environment. You might hear from a herbalist explaining the ancient uses of a local plant, followed by a folk artist whose creations are inspired by century-old legends, or a paranormal investigator probing a site’s lingering mysteries. The conversations naturally drift toward the hunt-not just for game, but for understanding, tracing the threads between local flora and fauna, forgotten folklore, and the raw facts of the past. The aim is to uncover a sense of awe in these intersections, to feel the soul of a place through the stories of those who know it best. It’s an auditory expedition for anyone curious about the layers of meaning hidden in the natural and historical world. So, settle in wherever you listen, and let this traveling podcast bring those distant fireside tales to you.
