Northwoods Kindred Podcast

#mightythor #thor #norsemythology In this episode of Norse Tales, NWK Gothi Bodvarr reads the story of Thor and Tyr, Journeying to Tyr's mothers place to secure a cauldron large enough to brew for the gods.

In this first episode of Norse Tales, NWK Gothi Bodvarr reads the story of Heimdall the culture bringer. This story is chapter X in Victor Rydberg's "our Fathers Godsaga, retold for the young."

It is embellished and seems to bear some resemblance to earlier versions of Beowulf...
