    Opening The Door Crossover Episode about DRAUGR

    This is a little bit of a different podcast! I'm actually posting an interview I did with Haley over at Opening the Door Podcast. This episode was originally titled "Exploring Nordic Folklore and Folk Witchcraft with Siri Vincent Plouff." Because it was released very close to Halloween, we ended up talking almost exclusively about Draugr. Now, posting this over a month later, it is still timely because Christmas is actually a very spooky time of year. Exciting announcements! I'm teaching "Queering the Runes" as a FULL ONLINE COURSE! Early bird pricing is $300, and the price goes up to $400 on 12/16. Learn more and register here The intro to Chaos and Cunning is OUT as a teaser now! Go and follow/subscribe/check it out!

    Post Election Resistance

    This episode was recorded the Friday after election day. In this episode I talk about the ideas of localized resistance. I have a feeling I'll be putting out more episodes like this, probably with more research and heft behind them. I will also be launching a new podcast next month called Chaos and Cunning, which will be a space where I can expand beyond the confines of heathenry to talk about other magical practices. I had a file mishap and the wrong file uploaded, so I'm sorry if you're seeing this twice! I've had quite the autumn for podcasting errors. It was obviously not my intention to release this incorrectly, but mistakes happen. Ya got me this time, Loki. ** Patreon.com/sirivincentplouff lore-books.com Ryan Smith's fantastic post-election episode: On Endings and Beginnings

    Radical Runes Reminder!

    hey hey! Just popping into your podcast feed to remind you that registration for the last ever live session of Radical Runes closes at midnight on Saturday, February 3rd! You can register here: https://www.sirivincentplouff.com/shop/p/radical-runes-winter-2024 Radical Runes is a six week course in Nordic divination practices using the Elder Futhark as a launchpad. Each week, I will cover a different topic in depth from a queer, modern perspective. All are welcome - you do not need to be of Nordic descent to practice this kind of magic or divination. You will be learning from a rune expert - I've been studying the runes for years, and made my first set of runes nearly 20 years ago. I think it is especially important to bring queer perspectives to Nordic magic because there is so much shape shifting, trickster, and transformational energy within the Nordic myth cycles. So join us! I would love to have you!

    S2 E13: Perthro, the Soul, and the Mead

    Perthro is a mysterious rune that means luck, mystery, and the mead. In this episode of the podcast Siri covers the beauty of this rune in a solo-episode. We talk about the different soul parts, and how Perthro is connected with the Hamingja. This rune disappears in the Younger Futhark, which only adds to its mystery. We also discuss the sacred quality of mead and seeking the mead as spiritual initiation.

    RERUN: Divination at the New Year

    Happy Winter Solstice! Have a rerun episode! This episode was originally released on Dec 30 2020. Did you know there's no future tense in Old Norse? It's a huge part of why I (Siri) don't use the runes for predictive reading - instead, I use them for assessing the situation and figuring out what the best path forward is for me or my client. But there are plenty of other divination methods in Nordic folk magic and heathenry! Listen to this episode to learn all about them.
