Nightbird Radio

<p>Welcome back Nightbirds! On this episode we continue our Rune Walk Saga, covering the runes Eihwaz, Perthro, and Valkyrie Hlökk. Lindsay and I are rejoined by Luis Galindo and Matt Hughes. With these mysterious runes, we enter into some of the divisive discussions about interpretation. What is the true meaning of Perthro - dice cup or cosmic womb? Is Yggdrasil a Yew tree? We discuss these questions and many more. We talk about the connection of specific gods to specific runes. Is that a hard and fast rule? Finally, we discussed our experiences in journey and trance with the Valkyrie Hlökk - who left a unique and lasting impression on us. </p><p>Get unedited video versions of episodes as they release at the Nightbird Patreon, which also gives access to our private Discord, bonus episodes, private posts, magical workings, and more at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/nightbirdradio">https://www.patreon.com/nightbirdradio</a></p><p>Make a one time or recurring donation at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.nightbirdpodcast.com/donate">www.nightbirdpodcast.com/donate</a></p><p>Intro/outro music by Matt Boisvert</p><p>Podcast art by Matt Boisvert</p><p>Vocal soundscapes by Tim Woody</p><p>Image by <a href="<a target=" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Fernando"&gt;https://pixabay.com/users/xxfir3xx-8352713/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=6395159"&gt;Fernando</a> Gomez from <a href="<a target=" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Pixabay</a>"&gt;https://pixabay.com//?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=6395159"&gt;Pixabay</p>

<p>ᚫ Unlocked from Patreon ᚫ</p><p>Welcome back Nightbirds! On this episode, we discuss the mythopoetics of conspiracy. When is this type of thinking best suited? When is it less skillful? When to wax poetic, and when to take action. Can we do both? How can we navigate the post-truth madness of Time Wave Zero with our sanity (and our material conditions) not only intact, but flourishing?</p><p>This is another tough one that we think needs to be discussed at this time. I hope you enjoy the conversation.</p><p>Get unedited video versions of episodes as they release at the Nightbird Patreon, which also gives access to our private Discord, private posts, magical workings, and more at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/nightbirdradio">https://www.patreon.com/nightbirdradio</a></p><p>Make a one time or recurring donation at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.nightbirdpodcast.com/donate">www.nightbirdpodcast.com/donate</a></p><p>Intro/outro music by Matt Boisvert</p><p>Podcast art by Matt Boisvert</p><p>Vocal soundscapes by Tim Woody</p><p>Episode art by Stefan Keller @ Pixabay</p>

These runes are Hagalaz (hail) and Naudhiz (need). We talked about the personal trials that came along with spending two weeks with each of these runes, as well as the triumphs and understanding that came along with these struggles, We talked about the Norns, Gullveig, and the archetype of the witch. We talked about destruction and rebirth, need versus desire and how exploring these concepts can help us in our magical journey. We talked more about Norse cosmology as we see it, and the mysteries of time and space that present themselves when one journeys into these potent wells of gnosis that are the runes. Finally, we talked about the Valkyries themselves, who they are, and our experience with the valkyrie Hildr. </p><p>I had a great time talking with Lindsay and Luis, and I hope you enjoy the show!</p><p>I also hope you'll join us on our Rune Walk by becoming a Patron at the Nightbird Patreon and joining us on our private Discord <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/nightbirdradio">https://www.patreon.com/nightbirdradio</a></p><p>Make a one time or recurring donation at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.nightbirdpodcast.com/donate">www.nightbirdpodcast.com/donate</a></p><p>Intro/outro music by Matt Boisvert</p><p>Podcast art by Matt Boisvert</p><p>Vocal soundscapes by Tim Woody</p><p>Episode art by Stefan Keller @ Pixabay</p>
