63 Gifts of the Wyrd: Witches of Triora Deck
Friday Oct 14, 2022
Friday Oct 14, 2022
Bela Siol is back with another beautiful deck to share honoring the witches of Triora, Italy, with her new oracel deck - The Witches of Triora.
The witches of this area are akin to the Seeresses of the Germanic north and others who practiced the craft. Bela has created other beautiful decks including the Oracle of Nehalennia, the Oracle of Freya, and the Transformational Oracle of the Morrighan.
Bela talks about her passion for creating this deck as an honor and love project to the women who were accused of, tortured, and murdered as witches during inquisition.
She also goes into her visits to Triora and how those visits inspired the creation of the deck and the ancestors who whispered to her and others.
Support Bela and back the deck at https://bit.ly/3e0UMEk until October 31, 2022.
Check out Bela's other offerings at www.belasiol.com and the episodes she has joined me to talk about them. They make for great Halloween and Christmas gifts.
Oracle of Nehalennia (episode 22)
The Transformational Oracle of the Morrighan (episode 29)
The Oracle of Freya (episode 42)
The Cupid Lenormand
Bela also helped me with the second printing of The Christmas Oracle (episode 53)

59 Gifts of the Wyrd: Mist Witches with Gunivortus Goos
Thursday Jun 30, 2022
Thursday Jun 30, 2022
After a hiatus, the podcast is back and with me this episode is author Gunivortus Goos to talk about his book The Secrets of the Mist Witches (Witte Wieven).
The book presents the underlying customs and folk knowledge, including many folk tales from past centuries, about the fog creatures mainly from the German-Dutch border area. In the book the dialect term "Witte Wieven" in this (or similar spellings) is often used for these supernatural mist women, who often have their dwellings in small hills or waters. They are also known in German as "Nebelhexen."
We talk a little about these mist-erious beings, but leave the mist-ery for you to find in the book (and stories) itself. You can order the book in German or English from Goos' website, Boudicca's Bard. And while you are there, check out his other books (German, Dutch, and English). Goos and I talked about his books Goddess Holle and Germanic Magic in episode 41.

52 Gifts of the Wyrd: The Jotunn War Graphic Novel with Ian Stuart Sharpe
Friday Jul 09, 2021
Friday Jul 09, 2021
In this episode we get to visit the Vikingverse with creator and author Ian Stuart Sharpe. The Jötunn War is a series set in an alternate universe where events go into a different direction and the Norse/Germanic religion's are dominant in the world today.
“In the Vikingverse, the Norse rule the stars with restless fleets and an iron will. But when the thralls rebel, turning to the artifice of Norns to help them escape their bondage, the Natural order is thrown into chaos.
The Jötunn War has been fought across the Nine Homeworlds to contain the threat, a battle against the stuff of ancient nightmares, red in tooth and claw. Jötunheim is the rebellion’s last redoubt, an indignity the Empire plans to cleanse with flame and fury.
The Jötunn War. Go Big or Go Home in a body bag.”
Ian and I talk about reading the Norse tales, the 'verse, the story, the art, and more. The book is published through Outland Entertainment.
Update: Kickstarter funded. See Outland Entertainment website to order copies.
Artwork: Issues 1-3 Devmalya Pramanik; Issue 4 Ger Curti.

50 Gifts of the Wyrd: Urban Paganism with Paul Mercurio
Sunday Jun 06, 2021
Sunday Jun 06, 2021
For many, there is a hesitancy, resistance, or disconnect with how to work with the spirits (vaettir) of urban/city settings. How do you get to know these entities with glass, concrete, asphalt, and steel? Just as with the spirits in forest and rural settings, they exist and we can develop relationships with them.
Joining me to talk about urban paganism and city spirits is Paul Mecurio, a New York City based gothi of the North River Kindred. Paul shares interesting ways to look at working with these beings and ways to connect with them.
Contact Paul by email at nycsteward@thetroth.org and check out offerings at NRK webpage and the NYC Heathens Facebook group: @nycheathens.

‘Viking’ and ‘Muslim’ are two words that are rarely, if ever, positively associated in the public discourse.

Joining me this episode to discuss this project are Muhammad Ahmed (A Mosque Among the Stars, Islamicate) and Joshua Gillingham (The Gatewatch, Old Norse for Modern Times).
The book features thirteen authors of both Viking and Islamic historical fiction. This groundbreaking collection of cross-cultural stories is being backed on Kickstarter through May 25, 2021.
If you love stories that challenge and inspire, then join me in backing this project!
UPDATE June 1, 2021: Althingi fully funded please see Outland Entertainment to purchase. #Althingi
