The lectures that I recorded for 'The Great Courses' (now renamed 'Wondrium') are pretty different from the presentations you'll find on my Youtube channel. If you've thought about looking at them, you might want to check out this free sample lecture that I was told Wondrium had uploaded first.

I see as little as I possibly can of online reviews etc., but we've received more mail about this project than I anticipated. It's also been surprisingly positive, though I also think it's mostly been from people who weren't aware of my Youtube channel, books, etc. but were recommended this product through Wondrium itself.

I have two great confirmed guests for forthcoming Patreon interviews coming up--the return of Indo-Europeanist Tony Yates and of runologist Henrik Williams--but we're still trying to nail down exact dates for those. I'll keep you posted and hopefully see you in those Zoom calls in the near future.

For now, thanks as always for your support through thick and thin,

Jackson Crawford

P.S. Long-time supporters will be tired of hearing about this, but Patreon messages don't work. At minimum, I don't get notifications for them, and there's nothing on my home page to show me when there is or isn't a message. I can't even always see them when I check for them manually, and you won't see it if I reply! So for new supporters especially, remember that the best ways to get in touch are just a) to comment on posts like this, b) to post in the Community page, or c) to email my assistant Stella at [admin AT JacksonWCrawford.com]--remember the 'W' between my first and last names in that domain name.

Loki and His Children | The Story That Marvel Hasn't Covered

We all want our kids to make their mark, but it's hard to measure up to Loki's three children, one of whom allegedly had Hell named after her. Her siblings—a serpent that will trigger the end of the world, and a wolf that will kill the Norse god Odin—are nothing to sneeze at either. Turn off the comic book movies and get to know the real Loki and his children. This video is episode seven from the series Norse Mythology, presented by Jackson Crawford.
