Oppression of Euro-Animism

Animism is among the most denigrated cultural expressions. Rune examines the many ways Animism has been dismissed, parodied, and misunderstood.

Viking Environmentalism!

Rune talks about 'Viking Environmentalism' and how traditional folk, folk-ish, and animist ways of life build and uphold 'connectedness', both between human persons, and between human persons and non-human persons and their environs. Like many vital conversations, this episode contains profanity.

Sacrifices and Animist Violence

Rune discusses historical and contemporary violence from an animist perspective. This podcast explicitly references violence, with a focus on violence against animals and dietary choices -- listener discretion is advised.

O Bull****

Rune discusses the relationships and intersections between rejected knowledge forms, 'new age', and what is just, ultimately bull****.

Resisting Fascist Heritage Mining

How can we combat European heritage mining by bad actors and disingenuous cultural / political movements? Rune discusses ways to unite members from the desperate subcultures who use European heritage in good faith and open ways into a 'broad church' by taking inspiration... from the miners themselves.
