Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen: Year of Aun – Story as Healing, Story as Curse #26

Historian of religion and animist thinker Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen is back on our podcast! This time to launch the Year of Aun, an invitation to celebrate 2023 as a year of healing and reconnection based on old Nordic spiritual practices. We speak about the theoretical foundations behind the Year of Aun, our relationship with the forces of nature as reflected through both ancient and contemporary mythologies, and what it means to be the worst possible ancestor.
