On Tuesday, September 24th, I'll host my fourth Crowdcast for Patreon supporters. Crowdcast is an opportunity for you to pose your questions in a direct video chat format to the people who work on different aspects of Old Norse studies for a living. This will be the second one with a guest, and this time my guest is fellow University of Colorado instructor Dr. Mathias Nordvig. Some of you might have seen my interview with him about a year ago, or perhaps started following his own Youtube channel.

Dr. Nordvig is a Dane who grew up in Greenland and he has wide-ranging interests, ranging from Old Norse descriptions of volcanic activity and what we can learn about Old Norse pre-Christian religion to the Arctic as a wider geographical and cultural environment and research on the history and practice of paganism/heathenism/Ásatrú today. 

I hope you can make it and get a chance to pose him your questions! As before, registration is limited to 100 participants. You will have to be logged in to Patreon to reserve your spot on the Crowdcast at the link above.

If you are unable to make the Crowdcast because of the time (it has to happen sometime, and I have to work with my schedule and the guest's), post a question in the comments below or send me a message on Patreon and I'll ask Dr. Nordvig for you. The video will be available to Patreon supporters later, and I'll also post it as an update on my channel (as I did for the Crowdcast with archaeologist Prof. Howard Williams).

All the best for now, and thank you for your support,

Jackson Crawford

Thank you again Dr. Crawford for all your hard work and dedication to the education of hundreds who with out you and others similar would not be able to have such an experience. Thank you with all of my heart

I have a question for Dr Nordvig; Considering how immensely powerful and vivid a volcanic eruption can be, especially over a winters night, why aren't these mentioned more often in the Eddas? And where you think they are mentioned why do you think they are described analogously as opposed to directly? Looking forward to this evening's chat.
