Nordic Animism

Rune talks with cultural ecologist Dr. David Abram about the ways in which ways of speaking may enhance our spontaneous impulse for reciprocity -- the bed rock for the animist way of life. https://www.youtube.com/@RunehrJoin the Nordic Animism patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nordicanimismCheck out this beautiful t-shirt design by Ludvig Levin: https://shop.nordicanimism.com/shop/11-t-shirts--sweatshirts/53-aun-tshirt/Follow Nordic Animism:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nordic.anim...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nordicanimismTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nordic_animismWebsite: https://nordicanimism.com/

Rune discusses 'Viking Washing'. The 'viking age' was a comparatively brief period of time in the history of pre-Christian Scandinavia. Given this, why is everything related to Northern European history somehow always cast in terms of the Vikings? https://www.youtube.com/@RunehrJoin the Nordic Animism patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nordicanimismCheck out this beautiful t-shirt design by Ludvig Levin: https://shop.nordicanimism.com/shop/11-t-shirts--sweatshirts/53-aun-tshirt/Follow Nordic Animism:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nordic.anim...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nordicanimismTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nordic_animismWebsite: https://nordicanimism.com/

Rune talks extemporaneously on the ways in which the movement of revivifying Nordic Animism face the risk of being hijacked and hacked in disingenuous ways.'Climate Grief'? 'Regenerative Leadership'? Do these concepts and practises help or hinder? https://www.youtube.com/@RunehrJoin the Nordic Animism patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nordicanimismCheck out this beautiful t-shirt design by Ludvig Levin: https://shop.nordicanimism.com/shop/11-t-shirts--sweatshirts/53-aun-tshirt/Follow Nordic Animism:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nordic.anim...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nordicanimismTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nordic_animismWebsite: https://nordicanimism.com/

Storks are common symbols of spring, fertility, and good things to come. But the stork holds so much more meaning for southern Scandinavia... omens good and bad, interspecies transformation, and transporting souls is just the beginning of what these sacred birds mean to a Danish landscape.https://www.youtube.com/@RunehrJoin the Nordic Animism patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nordicanimismCheck out this beautiful t-shirt design by Ludvig Levin: https://shop.nordicanimism.com/shop/11-t-shirts--sweatshirts/53-aun-tshirt/Follow Nordic Animism:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nordic.anim...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nordicanimismTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nordic_animismWebsite: https://nordicanimism.com/

Rune discusses how colonisation abstracts both indigenous (those minority cultures who are under continued attack by coloniser culture) and majority populations from indigenous knowledge forms, and what we can do to ameliorate this legacy. https://www.youtube.com/@RunehrJoin the Nordic Animism patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nordicanimismCheck out this beautiful t-shirt design by Ludvig Levin: https://shop.nordicanimism.com/shop/11-t-shirts--sweatshirts/53-aun-tshirt/Follow Nordic Animism:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nordic.anim...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nordicanimismTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nordic_animismWebsite: https://nordicanimism.com/

In the light of the recent abdication in Denmark's Queen Margrethe II, Rune addresses the question 'can Monarchy be animist'?https://www.youtube.com/@RunehrJoin the Nordic Animism patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nordicanimismCheck out this beautiful t-shirt design by Ludvig Levin: https://shop.nordicanimism.com/shop/11-t-shirts--sweatshirts/53-aun-tshirt/Follow Nordic Animism:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nordic.anim...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nordicanimismTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nordic_animismWebsite: https://nordicanimism.com/

Baldwin suggested people should reject their 'whiteness'. The foundations of the concept of 'race' urges 'white people' to assume their 'whiteness'. Rune addresses this question, drawing on the concept of 'right story' to find a way though the mire. https://www.youtube.com/@RunehrJoin the Nordic Animism patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nordicanimismCheck out this beautiful t-shirt design by Ludvig Levin: https://shop.nordicanimism.com/shop/11-t-shirts--sweatshirts/53-aun-tshirt/Follow Nordic Animism:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nordic.anim...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nordicanimismTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nordic_animismWebsite: https://nordicanimism.com/
