Fall traditions in the pre-Christian North
Mathias Nordvig and Amina Otto discuss fall traditions in the pre-Christian North on The Sacred Flame Podcast. They manage to cover the entire North Atlantic region in a conversation that takes us from the origin of modern Halloween traditions in witchcraft trials between Scotland and Denmark to pre-Christian Nordic rituals, and folktales about the Wild Hunt.
