I'm not sure if you've covered it yet but relating the Havamal to relationships, married or otherwise and how we should look at those and treat those. I simply think it would be interesting to share with a friend of mine. By the way, thank you so much for providing this pod cast. It inspires me to do more and study more and spend more time focusing on where I need to open my life up to the Gods a bit more. So thank you!

I am a periodic listener but i just now listened to your inteview on Hela. Honest. (You won't believe me when you look at my blog post from 8/2 here http://www.iceandfire.us/blog/stavBlog/?p=27) I actually wrote because I wanted to point out the importance of family and hospitality to the people of the viking and pre-viking eras. She would really have no option other than to supply her father with what he needed for Ragnarok, especially if he approached her as a guest. I'm pretty sure she's neutral on the whole Ragnarok thing, but she is exposed to the opinions of and hurt by the injustice done to her family and blood ties and the rules of hospitality mean she must allow her father to recruit the maladjusted dead to sail in the ship, she must let him launch from her realm, and she must, regardless of her personal feeling, take part in avenging the injustice done to just about everybody ELSE in her family. Oh, and just a note: I've found that if you refer to Jotuns as giants, you create an odd dichotomy in creative or visual people's minds (i always see Odin or Balder, at about man height and Skadi or Hela towering over him at an extreme height). Calling them Jotuns makes them just another clan like the Aesir and Vanir that we know, like the MacDonalds, and the MacDugals. Of course, Your Mileage May Vary. Wow Sandi!

If you like Tyr, you'll like this painting: http://fav.me/d28tfrr As far as I know, I am the only painter who has tried this subject matter in this perspective. I really FELT Tyr when I was painting this. I feel that he encouraged me in the idea, steadied my hand and calmed my mind when I wasn't so thrilled with some aspects of it. I kept with it, and now I have people both in and outside of my kindred (Falcon Kindred, Yelm,WA) asking me "so, when are the posters coming out?" Hope you like! Love the episode!

I particularly enjoyed this episode. I think you are right-on in your observations about the main purpose of the Thing (and to some degree of our modern justice system) as being keeping the peace, reaching settlements, not justice per se. Also that Tyr, while an examplar of bravery and taking personal responsibility, is not necessarily a paragon of honor/honest dealing, since he took part in the gods' deception of Fenrir. One area you did not delve into, which I'd be interested in your take on, is Tyr in his older aspect as Teiwaz, possibly an original sky-father kind of god. Anyway, good show! Hail, Dave!

It’s great to have a podcast about the runes, and I hope it won’t be the last. I’m wondering how much work with the runes the two of you (Dave and Sandy) do. Personally, the runes were my “gateway” into Asatru, and I’ve been studying both the religion and the runes simultaneously.

People have always tried to define such a thing, but between folkish willful ignorance and SCA dramaticism we've had difficulties finding a real spiritual theology outside Jungian and Dumezilian theories...which supplies us with dogma without root, so people have scrambled to indoctrinate themselves to Thorsson's paradigm. People need to remember Asatru is a New Religious Movement, not a tradition. It'll take generations to define any "orthodoxy". Funny, Orthodoxy and Asatru.
