The Heathen History Podcast takes a deep dive into the modern history of Heathenry, a new religion based on the practices of the pre-Christian Germanic and Norse People. Each episode we will dive into a different person, event, or organization to tell their story and examine how this shaped modern Heathenry.
Heathen History is an inclusive podcast. We support Declaration 127 and Heathens Against Hate.

Join us for a episode on one of the most controversial figures in Heathenry today.
