0:00.0	Welcome to the Nordic mythology podcast, I'm Daniel Farrend, owner of the
0:10.1	Company Horns voting and today I'm joined by Layshekadewa. How is that?
0:16.1	Perfect, beautiful, thank you for joining us once again. Last time we spoke about women in the in the Viking Age which was a
0:26.0	fascinating episode but today we're going to look at the Slavic and Nordic mythologies and
0:32.3	the similarities the differences.
0:35.0	Yeah, thank you for having me. I'm very happy to be here and happy to be sharing some stories from my part of the world so yeah yeah and
0:46.8	absolutely and before we were discussing you have possibly the biggest collection of

1:59.2	So I guess quite embarrassingly I probably don't know as much about what Slavic mythology even is so
2:06.6	if that's a good starting point.
2:08.9	Yeah it's a great starting point. I think before we start talking about Slavic mythology, I think for some of our
2:18.4	listeners, perhaps it would be valuable to just say a few words about the Slavs. So if you if you check the term Slavs on
2:30.1	let's say Wikipedia you will see that the Slavs are actually the largest
