Opening The Door Crossover Episode about DRAUGR

Dec 11 2024 54 mins

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 i

Post Election Resistance

Nov 24 2024 25 mins

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 t

S2 E13: Perthro, the Soul, and the Mead

Jan 14 2024 23 mins

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

RERUN: Divination at the New Year

Dec 21 2023 27 mins

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

Welcome to the 2023 Halloween Werewolf Spectacular! There is a LOT of wolf lore in Nordic mythology and throughout folklore all around the world.

So I decided to invite him on the podcast for a special werewolf bonanza. We’ll talk ab
