Episode Fourteen: The Four Aspects of the Viking Soul

from Shieldmaidens: Women of the Norse World · host Shield Maiden

In this episode, Johanna and K.S. discuss the four aspects or parts of the Viking's soul: the hamr, hugr, hamingja, and the fylgja. In this belief system, certain people could shape shift into animals and do astral projections; Viking "luck" was something that had agency; and Vikings were all born with a guardian animal. All this and more! Johanna Wittenberg: johannawittenberg.com K.S. Barton: ksbarton.com
