Episode 101: We Are back!

Author: The Wisdom of Odin February 20, 2023 Duration: 58:58

With our break behind us, The Folk Podcast is back with a new name, The Northern Traditions Podcast. Be sure to check out the podcast on YouTube to see our beautiful faces!  Learn more about the community:  https://www.northerntraditions.org/


Hosted by Jacob from The Wisdom of Odin, The Northern Traditions Podcast is a conversation rooted in the lived experience of modern pagan practice. This isn't a lecture series from an ivory tower, but a gathering around the digital hearth. Each episode is built directly from the questions and curiosities of the community itself, creating a responsive and deeply relevant dialogue. Jacob is joined by three regular co-hosts, offering multiple perspectives and ensuring the discussion remains dynamic and grounded. You'll hear interviews with fellow practitioners who share their personal journeys, struggles, and insights, providing a real-world look into how these ancient traditions are woven into contemporary life. The core mission of this podcast is twofold: to delve into the nuances of belief, ritual, and history with a focus on clear, accessible information, and perhaps more importantly, to foster a profound sense of connection. It’s about exploring the depth of the path while being reminded that walking it doesn't have to be a solitary endeavor. Whether you are newly curious or have been on this path for years, the conversations here aim to inform the mind and fortify the spirit, creating a reliable space for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of northern spiritual traditions.
