This week is part 2 of our episode on the Poetic Edda poem, Grímnismál . This week we discuss stanzas 21-54 of the poem, and how often Odin seems to take a brake in delivering his cosmic lore in order to ask the Valkyries and other gods for a little help (or a drink).Odin eventually reveals who he is and delivers the list of names he has been called. Do we all want to be remembered by all of our own names?If you are enjoying the show, please consider a donation to help keep the podcast ad-free. https://tworavenpodcast.wordpress.com/donation/We are going to be trying some new episode formats in the next few weeks and then returning with Season 2 in July!Podcast Website: https://tworavenpodcast.wordpress.com/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betweentworavens/Between Two Ravens is a podcast about the psychological significance of Norse Mythology.
