The Svear were known for their hospitality. Even the early missionaries were welcomed with respect, as long as they did not break the ancient code. This episode retells tales of early missionaries, the destruction of sacred images, the wrath that followed, and the ancient laws of host and guest that shaped the North. We also journey through the sacred heartland of Svitjod and the enduring presence of the gods around old Upsala. http://linktr.ee/sonofsigurd
