Did people wear both together or you know, how how did that work? voice-verified

And I know, I mean, w what I'm really fascinated with we seem to know a lot about what the Norse believed and who they worshipped and how they worshiped. voice-verified

How do we know so much? voice-verified

Well, you know, the fun does not end because we're going to take a break. voice-verified

We're going to come back after the break, because what I'm really keen to know, you know, is is the traditions, that those Norse traditions that were unacceptable to the Romans. voice-verified

How did they fare in this new land with a Christian cover? voice-verified

Welcome back. voice-verified

Um, so Eleanor, when we were talking about um Romans and the Druids, what they hated about the Druids, uh, apart from everything, was this sort of shamanic, you know, sort of trait that they had. voice-verified

And and they, you know, kind of tried to sort of stamp it out as much as possible. voice-verified

The Norse also had a shamanic tradition. voice-verified

So after having sort of the Druids kind of obliterated, you've got the Romans, you've got Christianity, and then voice-verified

What do they bring the shamanic tradition back? voice-verified

How does that work? voice-verified

more like a Delphic oracle, you know, what what we would recognise from the Greek tradition if somebody talks to the gods or reads the the signs that the gods are sending back to man. voice-verified

I mean, that's horri horrifying, but but also it's I mean, you're taking hallucinogenics, communing with the spirits, sacrificed all of this is is very, you know, shamanic traditions wherever you go. voice-verified

And you've got a really interesting observation about the the Sami people of of Siberia, that there is a direct link, you know, a line you can draw between the Vikings and the Sami all the way off in Siberia. voice-verified

leave Neil Price to that one. voice-verified

He can he can that's voice-verified

Say how thrilled he'll be. voice-verified

That phone call. voice-verified
