John Pinna speaks with Josh Heath about Heathenry, a modern revival of Norse pagan religion. Heath discusses his personal journey to Heathenry, the beliefs and practices of the faith, including ancestor worship and the concept of fate, and how it differs from pop culture depictions of Norse mythology. He explains the community structure of Heathenry, from individual practice to larger organizations, and addresses the issue of white supremacist groups misappropriating Norse symbols. Heath also talks about his efforts to gain recognition for Heathenry in the U.S. military, his experiences as a Heathen soldier, and the faith's approach to death and burial. Throughout the conversation, Heath emphasizes the importance of community in Heathen practice and the faith's focus on supporting and protecting one's local community, regardless of racial or cultural background.

Special Guest: Josh Heath.
