• 48: Men are from Mars (via West Norway)

  Was Norway's first unitarian preacher assassinated because he knew too much about mankind's (Norwegian) origins? Are trolls actually just other human races (from different parts of West Norway)? Are the movements of celestial bodies troubling and unpredictable? Was the church of St. Thomas on Filefjell built by the Norse god Týr? N. O. Foss certainly thought so. In this episode we delve into the mysterious life of a certain "Nelson Orlando Foss", and his deceptively unremarkable beginnings as a returning Norwegian-American émigré, local reply guy, business owner and English teacher in the Norwegian countryside in the early 20th century. But a record scratch moment happens with startling and prophetic revelations that all humans (and most animals) actually come from West Norway (though originally Mars).

• Bog Buddies: The Supreme Vikings Confraternity

  In this rather cultic episode, we handle the Powerwalking Club's discovery of an obscure group of proto-Scandifuturists from the Niger Delta, which led to the establishment of a bona fide research institute to investigate it further. From its humble beginnings as a harmless student fraternity, to a dreaded international crime syndicate dabbling in blood oaths, juju, prostitution and drug trafficking, we do our best to figure out what the hell the Supreme Vikings Confraternity is as we wade through their intricate lingo and mythos. Who is this "prince Odin" and why does he have eight legs? What's an Iceland? What's their relationship to the (Nigerian) Klansmen? What does it mean to be rugged? Is there a continuity betwen this viking cult and the indigenous traditions of the Igbo people? What position do these people hold in the Scandifuture? Perhaps they should be invited to serve as the Brute Norse equivalent to the Varangian guard?

• 47: The Mumming Mafia

  In this episode Eirik takes a deep dive into the ritualized home invasions once part and parcel to the Scandinavian yuletide celebrations, and the trollish mafiosi associated with it. Starting out with ill-advised discussions about unfounded heathen-ish speculations about secretly ancient (but actually modern) elements of the season as an expression of a sort of independent and nebulous "ur-pagan" reflex, after railing against logical positivism gone mad, we consider Catholic pragmatism as contrast to the war on Christmas as waged by protestant state zealotry in 18th century Denmark-Norway. Ultimately we somehow manage to make it to the yule goat/yule buck mummer's play and its variants across Fenno-Scandinavia, with local variants such as the Norwegian Lussi and Sami Stállu, with an entire bastard of a segment dedicated to the intricacies of barnyard spirits, domestic cult, obscure Norwegian dwarf lore, unspeakable Norswedian snake cults, and ample helpings of esoteric nissemaxxing and tomtebissing in between.

• Ep. 46: "He is Odin's Man" on the Vindelev inscriptions (with Krister Vasshus)

  In 2021 in Denmark, a metal detectorist chanced upon twenty-something Migration Era gold objects weighing almost a kilogram in total. Several of these were so-called bracteates, medallions bearing runic inscriptions and strange iconography. One of these stated "... he is Odin's man". That makes it the oldest, direct, by-name reference to the deity ever recorded. What the hell did they mean by this? Who was Odin's man, and which other messages were recorded upon these enigmatic objects? One of the world's luckiest scholars, Krister Vasshus, joins us once again to discuss the find he could not talk about last time. This episode features music from Kenneth Lien and Center of the Universe, who just released the album Snu Hver Stein.
