Episode 21 - Asatru Artists - Diana Paxson

In our ongoing series on writers and artists we interview Diana Paxson. She has written a ton of scifi and fantasy books as well as many articles for the magazine Idunna. She has been an important influence on the Asatru movement for many years. You can find her books at Amazon.com.

We also plug some pagan podcasters, Deo’s Shadow (www.deos-shadow.com) and Mid-Michigan Pagan Podcast (http://midmichiganpaganpodcast.podcastpeople.com). Those Mid-Michigan folks kindly interviewed us (for a change) in a two part series, Episodes 17 and 18. Deo has a snappy interview with Dr. Brendan Myers about pagan Ethics (#39).

Please let us know if you are interested in running classes or vending at ECT, as we would like talk to you for a special podcast.

Welcome to our celebration of Yule!

Some Lore links about Yule: http://home.earthlink.net/~wodensharrow/yule.html http://www.simnet.is/gardarj/yule2.htm

This year at Yule we focus on the modern celebration of Yule and practices. We do a quick interview with Rick Oberg about his private practice with his family at Yule. I read a fun little poem called the Yule Cat. Sandi and I “discuss” whether Santa’s roots come from Odin or Thor.

Very Merry Yule Everyone!
