Survive the Jive on Odysee

Leisure EN ↓ 50 episodes

I make history videos, mostly about ancient pagan religions. I'm a qualified historian and documentary film maker. I focus mainly on Indo-European cultures and most specifically on Germanic/Norse paganism, because I am a pagan, but I also make videos on other subjects too.
