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.

Asatru 101 ‘Cast - Thor! - (Because everyone loves Thor)
This is basically a podcast about the application of research. (By request we did more about the Gods.) We pop open our Poetic Edda and Prose Edda and pull a few things out. We hope that folk see the process and are inspired to do some homework themselves.
Feel free to send us ideas for other Asatru 101 podcasts.

This month we interview Ingmar Lauer and Isabelle Jaus about the Eldaring and their experiences practicing Asatru in Germany.
We chat about the troubles (or lack thereof) of the Nazi legacy to the practicing Asatruar. Ingmar does not hold back his opinions about the radical and extremist groups. And we have a fun time all around.
The Eldaring website (and in English)
Ingmar also mentioned a site for many Northern European contacts.

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!
