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. Check out and support them: https://kennethliencenteroftheuniverse.bandcamp.com/album/snu-hver-stein To support all things Brute Norse and Troll Cat Press, check out: https://linktr.ee/brutenorse
