Dane RobertsGuestAngelHostWelcome to the Science Witch Podcast, where we explore how science and witchcraft intersect, interact, and affirm one another.
I'm your host and producer, Angel, and this is our 89th episode and a conversation three years in the making with archaeologist and practicing Anglo-Saxon heathen, Dane, host of the YouTube channel ArchaeoViking.
I initially met Dane back at Mystic South in 2023, and we had discussed coming on the show to talk about heathenry and how he uses archaeological evidence to inform his spiritual tradition.
Then things got lost in the ADHD milieu and I didn't circle back with him until earlier this year when out of the blue he emailed me about being on the show.
I enjoyed talking to him about Viking history and how archaeological evidence completely debunks the white nationalist fantasy that Vikings were racial, purist, and ubermenches.
Towards the end of the interview, while we were winding down, Dane talked about his upcoming talk at Mystic South this past July, which included a discussion about the racist roots of modern paganism, which I want to have a longer conversation with him about in another episode.
Until then, please enjoy this fascinating conversation with Dane about how archaeological evidence can inform spiritual practice and find out what a chronotaur is, which is what I used for the icon for this episode.
