Protecting Midguard

First episode in a new series teaching the path of Animist Heathenism. A Servant of Midguard is a role in the Viking Heathen tradition, focusing on animism, the fae and the spirits of this world, as opposed to deities or religious polytheism.

In this video:

• What is Heathen animism and spirit-work?
• Reconciling magical and scientific belief worldviews
• The creation of the universe in the Heathen tradition
• First steps to the otherworlds: a meditation

GUYS my beloved's video is now finished and online.

He has been pacing around the house all day in a complete state of nervous anxiety. This must be what it's like to live with me all the time. One of the great reasons to watch this youtube channel is that it's 15 full minutes of the loveliest person on the planet, talking. Bliss.

Anyway, I am now fully aware that when you run a youtube channel, you get this nightmarish dashboard of numbers and charts, showing statistics you really don't want to know like "how far through this video do people tend to watch". If you have some time, I'd appreciate it if you could watch the thing - and if you have an account, liking and subscribing, maybe leaving a comment.

More importantly, I think though, I want to get the videos in front of people who will actually care about them. So, if you know any heathens, spirit-workers, animists, or people who like pagan youtube, please share a link with them. Ultimately, a channel lives or dies not by the friends I can strong-arm into watching an average of 4 minutes out of 15 to oblige me, but by people who actually have an interest in the subject-matter. I'm not sure who that is, yet; and maybe the channel as a whole needs more time to mature and grow into what it will be, but if you know anyone who might be interested - please send it their way.

I'm actually really interested in where this series goes - my man is typically quite private about the details of his spirituality, so part of that is nosiness. But I've always assumed that heathen meant he was doing Viking Polytheistic things, so pretty much the main thing I've learnt from this video is that I was wrong about that, & I'm excited to learn more about what spirits of place/fae folk/animism means in the context of Heathen stuff. More broadly, there's a lot of that sort of thing which seems universal enough to overlap with the sort of thing I'm doing. Also, I could listen to his voice all day.

Anyway - here it is! I hope you enjoy.
