This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Mario aka Travelers Spear to talk about his unique path to Heathenry.  Mario is an african american and US army veteran. Together with the boys he'll be discussing the popularity of Viking symbols in the military, the picture stones on the Island of Gotland, and possible interpretations of the Völuspá from the poetic Edda. It's a good time and the answers promise to be as amusing as they are complicated!If you would like to see more of Mario follow him on instagram at: www.instagram.com/TravellersspearWhile you're there check out our Instagram at: www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcastAnd if you like what we do, and would like to be in the audience for live streams of new episodes to ask questions please consider supporting us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/NordicMythologyPodcastWe've also reached our goal of 100 Patrons and are starting a new show where our hosts Mathias and Daniel watch and commentate along with the popular series Vikings!
