Survive the Jive Podcast

Bronze Age Pervert (BAP) joins Tom Rowsell to discuss ancient history and how the heroic ideals of the past can shape our future. This is your chance to hear BAP’s unfiltered thoughts on the classical antiquity that inspires his philosophy, from the vitality of the Bronze Age to the inspiration of the Renaissance. We also talk about Plato and religion and in the second half we also discuss the misinterpretation in population geneticists of ancient cultures and elite dominance models of cultural replacement.

Neil Burridge is an accomplished sword smith and widely considered the greatest living smith of historical replica cast bronze swords and daggers. He has cast and forged hundreds of replica blades from Ancient Greek Mycenaean, to Nordic Bronze Age and Celtic style weapons. I visited him in his workshop to collect a special replica of one of the oldest metal weapons from Britain, the Huntshaw dagger, which he made for me and we chatted about his work and the history of bronze working.  Neil on X: https://x.com/neil_burridge Starting Heathenry course: https://startingheathenry.thinkific.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDJiZWI5SDNuRHYyZEhnR2dsUGJuaEZqLUZsd3xBQ3Jtc0ttQzJkWjM1VGlONlpUWl9ISER4Y3BsTUJtSXFSVWJJUlhhY25nU0IwbjUxM3Bzdkt1dTZLMFNUVGRINGoySHlEbG5VVHM0N3hLUHZCTjU0cTd6UkZ6anBwaDB1ZTVzcnl1Y1NVdFZnbW5JWDVOSV94WQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fstartingheathenry.thinkific.com%2F&v=HoL7xO4j99c] STJ links: https://linktr.ee/SurvivetheJive [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmFxVVNBUEpScHhlVGZvaElkRTZEd2xzRlJOZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttcnh6eGFpTll0NFlLRHladU9mVnd0NjBCRDVIeEJVVnhVRm4wOE1EQjRfOUt6U2o2VnFTcXJROUN1ekNkcmZXdHV1OUE1bW94blVZeTQ4NWpWZnZocUxSYUdVeEJTM1FvZmZJYmVaS0cyZzVRcmtSOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2FSurvivetheJive&v=HoL7xO4j99c]

Eric Orwoll aka Aarvoll is an American Christian Platonist known for his YouTube channel. Eric's beliefs are more compatible with those of pagans than those of typical Christians are. I asked him about how a Platonic view of the One and objective good is compatible with a scientific view of evolution or a pagan view of tribal loyalty. We also discussed transhumanism and the anti-Platonist philosophies of Karl Popper and Friedrich Nietzsche.

A review of Vilhelm Grønbech's seminal work on the religion and culture of ancient Germanic peoples. Grønbech was a professor of the history of religion at the University of Copenhagen in the early twentieth century. Grønbech looks at Norse, Lombardic, Anglo-Saxon, Gothic and Roman sources to identify a common Teutonic culture focused on luck, honour, shame, kinship, and a unique perspective on the afterlife and the soul. My review includes favourite quotes from volume 1 of the two part book republished by Antelope Hill.  Buy it here: https://amzn.to/4jqf0Tz Learn how to be a Heathen with my online course: https://startingheathenry.thinkific.com/

Jive Book Review: I am joined by the Finnish author Aki Cederberg as we discuss his latest book Holy Europe, published in English in 2024 by Arcana Europa. The book is a travelogue in which Aki invites the reader to join him on a spiritual exploration of the continent, looking at ancient pagan holy sites, as well as places relevant to artists and esotericists who have sought the holy within Europe in various ways. He addresses the spiritual crisis of Western man by showing how the sacred is still accessible in Europe today.
