Honor, Legacy, and the Gods: Building a Modern Norse Spiritual Community | Devin Rogers | Ep 21

What if some of the answers to modern life’s biggest questions are thousands of years old?

In Episode 21 of Real Unity, Sienna Mae Heath sits down with Devin Rogers, Gothi of New Vinland Kindred, to explore what ancient Norse traditions can teach us about honor, responsibility, freedom, and building strong communities today.

They dive into the revival of Asatru, the surprising rights and authority held by women in Norse society, decentralized law and community, and the tension between individual freedom and a shared moral code. Devin also tackles the controversial appropriation of Norse symbols by Nazis and other extremists—and why reclaiming those symbols matters.

Can ancient ideas about honor, legacy, and personal responsibility offer something modern culture has lost? And can we learn from the past without trying to recreate it?
