Episode 10 - Fenrir the Fearsome Fiend
Manage episode 337779249 series 3361186
In the future the world as we know it will be destroyed. But this can't happen before we introduce all the major players. In this episode we'll discuss the origins of Hel, the World Serpent, and the monstrous wolf Fenrir, and we'll see how the way Fenrir became an enemy of the gods is all too easy to misunderstand without the proper context of the Norse world view. What does it mean to be an outcast? What does it mean to have your fate decreed by prophecy? And could things have gone another way? Let's find out together.
