Summary

This week we are trying something new on NMP! Entirely on purpose (and not at all due to a scheduling snafu) Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Rune Rasmussen from the Nordic Animism Youtube channel, Jonas Lorentzen from the band Nebala, and Eco-Philosopher and co-founder of Matr Food Naina Eira. Together this distinguished group will be talking about Rune's latest project, and more specifically the Raven Flag he has created as a symbol for the contemporary bond between animism and nature. This is both our longest episode ever, and our first panel discussion, so bear with us because it's going to get complicated fast!

If you would like to see Rune's own video on the Raven Flag you can find it here.

If you would like to learn more about the Northman movie that Jonas will be appearing in later this year find out more here!

And if you would like to hear more of Naina's amazing insight or just look at pictures of her amazing food you can find both at: Instagram.com/nainaeira

0:00.0	This episode of the podcast is brought to by my kunha Hornsvod.
0:03.4	Over the last couple of weeks we made some exciting new changes to our Mead
0:07.2	and in particular our Yorkshire Mead.
0:09.4	So what we've done is we're completely rebranded, relabeled, and we've also added a couple of new flavors.
0:14.0	Now before I tell you about the new flavors, I want to tell you a little bit about the meat production,
0:17.8	because this stuff is really something special.
0:19.8	It's made at a micromedia just on the outskirts of York, and it's ran by a fellow called Pete Allanson, and this guy does everything himself.
0:27.0	He keeps the bees, he sustainably harvest the honey from his own bees, he then foments the honey to make the mead. He bottles the mead, he labels
0:37.1	a mead, he sends it out to us, I mean this guy does everything and I mean, this guy does
0:40.6	and mead is what he does and that's part of why I think this stuff is so amazing
0:43.8	because he has such a short journey from production to bottling to end user and I think it really is a
0:49.3	special product. So we have our three traditional ones that you might have seen on the website before, which are
0:54.6	mead of Serinos, our mead of Brigid, and our mead of Morrigan. The Morrigan is an elderberry.
0:59.9	The Serinos is a heather Hunae and the mead of Brigide is a traditional.
1:03.0	Now on top of that what we've done is we've added a spice mead which is
1:06.9	sirtas mead. We have Loki's curse which is a pineapple and coconut
1:10.8	meat and then we also have tears sacrifice which is a whiskey and Cherry Mead and I mean
1:16.0	that stuff is absolutely beautiful. All these means are available in 75 sale
1:20.7	bottles at a 25 sale bottles so you can pick your size. On the website we also
1:25.2	pair it in a gift set where you get 25 sale bottles and a small drinking horn perfect for gifting or a little treat
1:30.8	for yourself even. Even if you don't like Mead, it's worth going and looking at this stuff just for the artwork and for the bottles.
1:37.0	Saxon Storyteller has done the artwork and I mean he's absolutely nailed it with these. The labels look beautiful and I'm really proud of it I'm sure you can
