How the Aesir Learned the Mantras
from The Books of Thoth Hosted by Sam McDonald
What if Buddhism, rather than Christianity, had become the dominant religion of Europe? Let’s us explore a folktale from such a world. A world where Buddhist temples in Scandinavia and Frankland also host images of gods such as Thor, Odin, and even Loki. We shall hear the story of a monk called Ketil, and how he helped spread Buddhism to Northern Europe. But more than that, he also drew the attention of the gods of Asgard themselves.
