In this episode of Random Heathen Ramblings, I sit down with Killetz, a Canaanite polytheist Kohan (priest) for a wide-ranging conversation on comparative polytheism, lived tradition, and the deeper patterns that emerge when ancient religions are allowed to speak on their own terms. You can connect with Killetz by clicking any one of the links below, which also include the destination where you can pick up copies of books he's written.

In this episode of Random Heathen Ramblings, I sit down with Sam, a practicing Goði and Vitki, to explore what it truly means to walk under Odin’s tutelage.

Odin is not a god of comfort, affirmation, or spiritual shortcuts. He is a god who tests, who wounds, who demands payment for wisdom—and who reshapes those willing to endure his lessons. This conversation moves beyond surface-level devotion and into the lived reality of service to the One-Eyed God.

We discuss Sam’s upcoming book, Odin’s Tutelage, his work with the runes as living forces rather than mere symbols, and the role of healing and guidance within an Odinic path that prioritizes transformation over reassurance. We also confront difficult questions around sacrifice, responsibility, personal gnosis, and the ethical weight carried by those who claim to serve the gods in a modern world.

This episode is for those who understand that wisdom is not freely given—and that no god leaves us unchanged.

What happens when we prioritize living relationships over written sources?

Rather than centering the conversation on sagas, academic reconstruction, or even the Gods themselves, this discussion leans heavily into animism—the lived reality of a world that is active, aware, and responsive. We talk about why a Heathenry rooted only in texts risks becoming stagnant, abstract, and disconnected from the very worldview that once gave it life.
