RR Podcast Ep.11, Pt.1 with Dr. Rune Rasmussen - Nordic Animism: Reconnecting with a Rejected Knowledge Tradition

In Part 1, Rune and I talk about what animism is and how we can understand it, especially in relation to other religions such as Heathenry and (Neo)Paganism. We also discuss why this animist knowledge was rejected in the first place by looking back in history, and Rune explains important animist concepts, such as Ragnarok and Yggdrasil (the world tree), and how these concepts are extremely important to an animist understanding of our world.
