Episode 10
Friday, 23 January, 2026
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?(Video title taken from my favourite Sin Eater tshirt!)https://fionaaedgar.com/🤝 Become a valued Friend of Folkways: https://bit.ly/34awiDB☕️ Buy me a coffee: https://bit.ly/3dxssVw💌 Get in contact folkwayschannel@gmail.com👋 @folkwayspodcast*Image credit:Niren Sengupta: AncestorsJulia Jeffrey (@StoneMaidenArt): The TraditionMeetings in the SmokeQueen of Stones Arthur Rackham collectionPhotographs of London graveyards: Paul Hudson, David Holt*
