The Heretical Heathen Podcast

The Random Heathen Ramblings Clarification

After appearing on Jesse's Random Heathen Ramblings podcast, I wanted to expand on some key points from our conversation. Heathenry has become ossified by dogma and textual authority, but living practice demands mystery. I also explore why aliens and anomalies might actually be our modern attempt at an authentic spirituality.   Check out the original conversation: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2bCpTgIZc612Ld4o5CbgFp?si=bN4vxftBS-eEpVPrLBSS-g   Music: https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/

What do you see when you scry Ansuz, the rune of divine speech and inspired communication? This episode documents a scrying session with the fourth rune of the Elder Futhark - exploring the visions and insights that emerge when gazing into Odin's breath. We discuss Ansuz's connection to language, prophecy, and the creative power of the word itself.   Music: https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/

Thurisaz: What the Thorn Reveals

Thurisaz is the rune of the giant, the hammer, the thorn — primal and protective, it guards as much as it reveals. In this episode, we bring that dual nature into our scrying practice, learning to work with Thurisaz not as obstacle but as guardian of genuine sight.   Music: https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/

The Gorgias and The Magician

In Plato's Gorgias, Socrates reveals what sophistry really is — not wisdom, but a turning away from the good that quietly hollows out the soul. When we choose the appearance of virtue over its reality, we don't just deceive others; we lose something in ourselves. This episode sits with that ancient warning and asks what it means for us today.   Music: https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/
