Something different! The show has talked a great deal about deity
and ancestral veneration in the past tense, with the aim of
understanding it within a historical context. But what about
those with a living practice today? How does it work? Here is
just one example, looking at Nordic Paganism (other examples
likely to come the future!)

So... with the intention to banish some winter blues, enjoy this
warming chat with Fiona Aedgar on the old gods and the ancestors.

Who are the old gods?

How do we approach them?

How does an ancestral practice in general fit into this?

What about the ancestors we DON'T want to connect with?

And most importantly... What's the point? How can this
practice improve our lives?
