NRR Episode 33: "Understanding Odin"
Hail to all!
One of the biggest questions asked by students of our lore is: "Can Odin be trusted?"
We make an attempt on this broadcast through our discussion to answer that question! Is what we see as individuals a distorted view of actions the Allfather did that seem dishonorable? Was the view some of our ancestors had--the writers of the sagas we hold dear--also distorted in their opinion OR was there something they understood that was veiled in the writings because of the nature of Skaldic tradition? You will definitely want to read the lore, and listen to this broadcast more than once. Come to your own conclusions, and enjoy the ride as we approach this multi-layered subject!
Hail the gods! Hail the goddesses! Hail to all of you!
Until next time.....

Northern Runes Radio Shop!
Hail to all of our listeners! We appreciate so much the donations that have come in and know that you have helped us greatly in our ability to continue this work. NRR is not simply a podcast putting out random things to entertain folks (though we hope we do provide enjoyable content through those that have graciously allowed us to promote them!) --but NRR is the manifestation of a QUEST! We are in a "war of the mind" in our day and age. A war for the awakening of our people to who they are in this world--and also to inspire others from different traditions to awaken to who they are, that our world may become a better place--a place where true evolution may occur in freedom and honor!
We have just created an online shop where those that wish to support our endeavours on this quest may receive something in return in addition to the broadcasts themselves. It also gives you the opportunity to make a statement through the symbolism of the items on this shop in support of our ancestral ways--not just NRR. Hail to each of you, and know that you are not only appreciated by us as listeners to the broadcast, but as fellow "warriors" on the quest to awaken our folk! Whether you buy anything from this shop or not is not even the point of us putting it out there--it is just a way to make more of an impact OFF the air to those around our world. I have a deep love for my folk, even those who are unawakened yet in this world...it is not something I can explain, as it would not make sense. I just feel the grief of our ancestors, as we could be so much more than we have allowed ourselves to become. We are connected, and need to heal our folk soul in order to aid in the life path of our world--and inspire others as well to take their place in the true diversity that makes up mankind. Journey with us. Come with us, man or woman, old or young, and let us make a difference now.

NRR Episode 32: "The Saga of The Volsungs Pt V"
Hail to each one of you our listeners!
Today we are releasing the last episode in the Volsung series! The story has shown us the humanity of the characters--how they made mistakes and were imperfect in their judgement at times. The consequences they face from their actions show us the ultimate responsibility each one of us has for what we DO--and how to learn from the mistakes these characters made so that we can live true! What legacy do we leave for our descendants? What affect do our decisions, actions and in-actions have on those closest to us? Those of the folk at large? Our people in this world? These are hard questions, and ones that we talk about in this broadcast through the light of this profound story.
We also answer at midpoint some of the big questions posted on the NRR facebook page. This hopefully will be a benefit to all of our listeners! We appreciate the interaction, and it makes what we do here so much more relevant to our people. HAIL to those that posted!! Hail to the Folk!
**A special thank you to Bob Falkenstein, Kellianna Giourard, Raven's Call, and Mojo Kemp**
Please check out their links on the NRR website and facebook page. Lets push people up :)
Until next time.....

NRR Episode 31: "The Saga of The Volsungs Pt IV"
Hail to you!
On this episode we resume our Saga of The Volsungs series, and start to look at the failure of Sigurd--and the treachery of those close to him! The chapters we deal with on this show shed light on more than just an epic tale of love & heartbreak, but show how WE can fail as Sigurd did in the quest for our true soul. This is true NOT ONLY of us as individuals, but AS A PEOPLE as well if we do not pay heed to the pitfalls before us. Listen to this episode with more than your ears; Listen with your heart!
Our next episode will be the last in our Volsung series, and the last part of this episode leads into it. The grand finale of this series will be one you do not want to miss.
Wassail!
Until next time...

NRR Episode 30: "Seidhr"
This episode we have a very intense discussion on Seidhr. We talk about what the Seidhr state of consciousness is--we ask about the Volven and Seidhr as well, and what comes out in our discussion may surprise you! Seidhr actually covers a pretty large area of magical practice and is much wider in scope that "prophecy" or "sooth saying". It is also something that crosses the gender barrier--as the Volva (or Volven plural) were not the only practitioners of Seidhr! It is our hope that this will be a show that you find engaging, and that you will be inspired (especially if you lean toward the study of the esoteric) to look into things for yourself. Ask the questions, seek and be proactive!
We also have an interview with Kellianna Girouard at midpoint on this episode! Kellianna has enchanted us with her music on more than one episode of NRR, and is coming out with a new album this summer. Make sure you check out her page on our main website, and when purchasing music please consider using "cdbaby" as the site of preference. This company has increased the royalties given to musicians listed with them at their own expense, which says something about the honor of the company.
Our next episode will resume our series on the Saga of the Volsungs, and will definitely be packed with commentary! We are excited about this one (as much as the episode you are listening to now!) as there is such a trove of lore to be uncovered in it!
Wassail!
Until next time....
