In the Borderlands

Fletcher Tucker: Kin #63

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 12:33:00 +0000

From the vibrant wilderness of Big Sur in California, we are joined by multidisciplinary artist Fletcher Tucker.

Through the music label Gnome Life Records and the organisation Wildtender his work is deeply related to the re-enchantment of the world and establishing relation and dialogue with the land, with other awarenesses, with the more-than-human.

We speak of the importance of ceremony and of the restoration of an ancient contact between human and landscape. Through practice. Through awareness. Through art.

The land misses us.

Torgrim Mellum Stene: Time Weave #62

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 15:49:00 +0000

For this episode, performance storyteller Torgrim Mellum Stene takes center stage as we talk about two of his current performances that both revolve around myth, history and time.

Join us for a probing conversation on dreaming and waking, fact and vision, giving voice to the underdog, truth and that which is truer than truth – how layers of reality weave together to resonate in a way that reveals meaning and brings history into the here and now.

Saturnalia Special: Stretch your Head #61

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 23:01:00 +0000

Io Saturnalia! In celebration of the Roman holiday of role reversal, gift giving and letting go, we take a closer look at the chained god Saturn/Cronus/Chronos. Putting on our saturnine glasses, we discuss his presence in myth, folklore, Lovecraft and most recently, in the Hollywood blockbuster movie "The Fantastic Four: First Steps“. Spoilers abound.

Happy holidays!

Will Wright: Wyrd #60

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 20:52:00 +0000

For our 60th episode, we weave words with DIY working class wizard Will Wright. Will is an occult artist, a narrative film maker and a magic practitioner. He finds himself at the intersection of many realms and subcultures and is the editor of acclaimed occult art zine Wyrd Zine, exploring contemporary shamanism, animism and visionary art.

Here, in the Borderlands, we delve into a variety of diverse, yet interconnected, themes. Our lost relationship with the Neanderthals. The Cosmic Tree of Yggdrasil as an image of the human nervous system. Meetings with the fae and machine elves. A call to anarcho-animism. Stories of magic and wonder.

Debs Newbold: The Tempest Retold – Revision is Rebellion #59

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 05:29:00 +0000

We are back after another hiatus! And this time we invite you to join us in a magical episode of Shakespearean trivia and artistic nerdgasms. We are joined by performing artist, storyteller and The Great Bard Afficionado Extraordinaire – Debs Newbold (UK/IR)!

Debs has worked extensively with retelling Shakespeare’s plays as storytelling shows, having reached international acclaim with her versions of King Lear, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. Lately, she has been wrangling the beast that is "The Tempest“ which is slowly entering its final form. With that play as a jumping off point we discuss what it means to be faithful in a process of artistic adaptation, and how revision can feel like a glorious act of rebellion that is yet somehow able to be encompassed and even welcomed by a canonical work of art.

David Beth: Kosmic Gnosis #58

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 19:30:00 +0000

David Beth has spent half a lifetime exploring the hidden aspects of consciousness, the malaise of the modern mind, the essences of divine archetypes and forms.

We speak of how the Western World is a world only in concept, because it is based on safety, predictability and preconceived notions of what it should be. A reality based on human imposition. How do we re-establish a true relation with the world based on openness, listening and allowing, a world of never-ending creation, constantly making kosmos from kaos?

Performance Special: Maui Trickster #57

Tue, 20 May 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Maui, the taboo-thrashing sun-subduing demigod of the Pacific islands, takes center stage in this episode, a force of erupting and disruptive nature that has been haunting podcast host and performance storyteller Mikael Öberg for decades, demanding with increased intensity the making of a performance, a show, a narrative string of pearls.

Mikael has finally relented, creating "Maui Trickster“, a storytelling show that just premiered in the UK. Come delve into the liminal space of culture hero cum trickster Maui. Together with us.

Valter Kinbom: Sacred Drums #56

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 01:37:00 +0000

The traditions of the Yoruba people in modern day Nigeria transformed into the religions of Voodoo, Candomble and Santería in Haiti, Brazil and Cuba respectively. Valter Kinbom is an initiated omo aña (Son of the Drum Spirit), a ceremonial drummer in Santería rituals.

Together we explore the technology of rhythm and the archetypal energies of the Orishas. Constantly guided by Eleggua, the Orisha of the treshold, the trickster spirit of paradox, the liminal, of both both/and and either/or.

Jo Blake: Chthonic Wisdom in the Odyssey #55

Sat, 22 Mar 2025 11:32:00 +0000

"...set out again, with an oar on your shoulder, and travel to a country where people have never heard of the sea..."

Returning guest and deep friend of the podcast, interdisciplinary performer and storyteller Jo Blake, is back! This time to invite us to look at Odysseus, the classical epitome of heroic masculinity, with new eyes.

The story of Odysseus has always been a living companion story for Jo, though she is yet to tell it. We discuss how Odysseus' voyage goes beyond gender, teaches something profound about the nature of reality and relation, and can be seen as a valuable story of submission, humility and descension.

And last but not least, why most modern retellings of the Odyssey often choose to leave out the actual ending.

Kristina Aspeqvist: Vodou Queen #54

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 17:34:00 +0000

How does a Swedish percussionist raised on Balkan music end up as a vodou queen in Ghana?

That is a question Kristina Aspeqvist is more than happy to answer, in a free-flowing way. Our enthralling conversation of her professional and spiritual journey felt sometimes like jazz, sometimes like folk, sometimes transcendent. Just like her music.

AI vs AI with special guest Fredrik Høyer #49

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 12:57:50 +0000

Carl Gustav Jung, the mythopoetic mirror to Freud’s trauma-focused psychology, spoke of a concept he coined "Active Imagination“. An intuitive process of letting your own imagination unfold by drinking from the waters of the collective consciousness. In this conversation we juxtapose both this "AI“ and the more commonly known "AI“ aka Artificial Intelligence.

Joined by special guest Fredrik Høyer, a Norwegian slam poet, author and dramatist, we take a meandering and overflowing journey through these mythic borderlands pregnant with the unrealised potential of dreams.

Johan Nilsson: Farming as Ceremony #48

Wed, 08 May 2024 04:21:00 +0000

In the US, there’s a prediction that if the current traditional farming practices continue, there’s 60 harvests remaining before the topsoil is completely eroded. Is there another way? Biodynamic farmer and dancer Johan Nilsson offers one alternative. What if we transform our entire mindset and instead of viewing the soil as dead matter we enter into a relationship with it?

Welcome into a sparkling and stirring conversation where the borders between agriculture and art are wiped away, where the intuitive development of the farmer and the soil are seen as one and the same, where the farm itself becomes an alchemical organism, where attentiveness, presence and the spirit of constant discovery and mutual enrichment is key. Welcome to a world where both carrot and human can reach their fullest potential.

Lunisolar Mind XIII: New Moon #47

Sat, 10 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Lunisolar Mind returns with a thirteenth episode, shedding some light (or darkness) on the new moon, the light absent in the skies of this episode’s release.

In this moment of pregnant stillness, in the space between inhale and exhale, we wonder.

Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen & Petter Madegård: The Return of the Yule Goat #43

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 10:50:00 +0000

The Yule Goat is an ancient Northern European symbol of the midwinter solstice, a time when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. The practice of dressing up like a horned goat for Christmas has many examples in Scandinavian history, though only echoes remain.
Friend of the show and historian of religion Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen has for the past few years aimed to remake a new tradition. Inspired by animism, carneval, Krampus processions in the Alps and samba he has started a Yule Goat Parade in the center of Copenhagen which this year will take place on the 16th of December.
We talk to him and mask actor Petter Madegård about the thoughts behind the parade, the old concept of beings of darkness bringing the light at the turning point of the year, and the importance of renegotiating your relationship with the absolute Other.

Zara Waldebäck: Animistic Storytelling #42

Sun, 05 Nov 2023 08:31:12 +0000

From the busyness of UK screen writer’s rooms to the stillness of the Swedish forests. From mastering the story to serving the story. From performance to ceremony. From ego-centred to eco-centred.

Zara Waldebäck’s life, wisdom and thoughts on storytelling, resonance, relationship and attention are some of the many wonderful ingredients of this conversation. It developed and grew like a mycelial network of association and wonder, sprouting fascinating mushrooms to ponder, while pairing and playfully opposing the invisible and visible worlds in a dance of words.

Olle Möllervärn: Bear Culture – A New Approach to Bear-Human Relations in Scandinavian Folklore #41

Sun, 22 Oct 2023 04:11:57 +0000

Of all the creatures of the forest, the bear holds a place most dear in the hearts of ancient Scandinavians. New animist thinking and perspectives on how our forebears related to the world around them as well as the concept that personhood and culture is the baseline of existence for all life, ignited a spark in Olle Möllervärn's mind during his Religious studies.

His fascinating master thesis on "Bear Culture“ is the springboard for this podcast episode where we delve into folklore and tradition with both the bear and the human as our guide, and the fascinating borderland that emerges between them.

Sally Pomme Clayton: The Mighty Goddess #40

Fri, 06 Oct 2023 14:49:00 +0000

We are back after a lengthy interim! And how better to kickstart our new bout of episodes than with a dose of divine power!
We interview Sally Pomme Clayton, British performance storyteller and author, about her latest book – The Mighty Goddess. We try to touch upon the immensity that is the Goddess, through a breadth of mythical lenses, attempting to describe archetypal energies that are impossible to pin down or reduce to human psychology. Indeed, how do you approach the Mighty Goddess, a borderless creative force that craves expression. Through the language of Love? Of Good and Evil? Or of Rage?

We are at the crossroads of spring. Every path a new possibility. Every path a new opportunity. Every path a new perspective. The worms patiently forge pathways through the thawing earth beneath our feet. The waters melt and start their patient flow anew. Pick a choice and pick it well. Go forth on river feet.

Laura Burns: Interrupted by a River #30

Mon, 13 Feb 2023 00:01:00 +0000

The blindfold was removed. She did not know where she was. All she could see was the river.

What began as an artistic experiment regarding relationship to space, turned into a seven year long (and counting) ceremony of Dreamtime visions and giving voice to that which has been lost. Join us in this fascinating conversation with interdisciplinary artist Laura Burns where we speak about the importance of tending to invisible presences and entering into dialogue with the consciousness of the land, how edgeland practitioners often find refuge in the arts, and the way our culture has dammed up the flow of life.

Lee Mason: Metageist #28

Sun, 22 Jan 2023 23:01:36 +0000

In this episode we explore a different borderland altogether, the liminal spaces of the Metaverse. With VR artist and digital myth maker Lee Mason AKA Metageist as our guide we line dance on the edge between dream and reality, exploring themes as diverse as hypnagogic states, shadow people, digital life forms/ecosystems, cautionary sculptures and consensual realities.

Mythology keeps rearing its head, even in the virtual worlds.

Lunisolar Mind IX: Wolf Moon #27

Sat, 07 Jan 2023 08:55:00 +0000

Episode nine of our podcast within the podcast – a series of full moon specials, released on every full moon – where we turn our attention to the glowing celestial body that has inspired artists and mystics for millenia.

We are still in the grip of winter, the sky is occluded by grey fur, and the tough love of the Wolf Moon grabs us by the scruff of our necks. Reminding us to wake up from our slumber, to contain our own power, and make our own luck.

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

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 00:01:00 +0000

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.

Kersti Ståbi: Vǫluspá – Performing Poems from the Poetic Edda #22

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 06:57:42 +0000

Vǫluspá - The Prophecy of the Seeress from the Poetic Edda is one of the most well known texts from Norse mythology. But how could this oral poem have been performed?
Kersti Ståbi, Swedish folk singer and oral storyteller explored this question in her master's degree. Searching for a way to be a tale-singer in her own mythological tradition, she looked to living practices in Korea, India and Kyrgyzstan. In this episode she discusses this process with us, the interplay between copying and creating, and the paradox of trying to recreate something that's not possible to recreate.

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 00:01:00 +0000

We are happy to welcome our friend Maria Kvilhaug back «In the Borderlands»! This time, the author and historian gives us a fascinating look into her upcoming work – a book presenting a comprehensive list of instances of seidr in Norse sources.

Seidr can be seen as a Norse form of shamanism and the stories Maria shine a light upon in her research paint a far more diverse, gender fluid and colourful picture of old Norse society and religious practices than what we are used to.

Come join us on a journey through spell songs, fate swapping, transgressive trials of initiation and divine intercourse.

Intuitive Storytelling: Celebrating Brittle one Book Two #18

Fri, 19 Aug 2022 01:01:00 +0000

Brittle one is Torgrim Mellum Stene’s online intuitive genre-bending fantasy novel that he started in 2021. Following the initiatory journey of Brittle, Torgrim writes without planning ahead, instead allowing the story to unfold chapter by chapter in an ever expanding exploration of the world that he first set in motion.

This episode marks the start of book two – its first chapter now available online – and we celebrate this with a conversation about Torgrim’s experiences with intuitive storytelling and writing myth, interspersing it with Mikael’s audiobook interpretation of the chapter. Enjoy!

Mon, 27 Jun 2022 00:01:00 +0000

Paul Maslov Karlsson is a philosopher, currently writing his doctoral thesis at Uppsala University, Sweden. We talk deeply with him about the concepts of fact and fiction, what their characteristics are, and whether there can be said to exist a meaningful distinction between them.Myth, scientism, art and conspiracy theory are all given their due in this fascinating conversation. We hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did.

Ben Haggarty: MeZolith – Stone Age Dreams and Nightmares #12

Mon, 30 May 2022 00:09:00 +0000

Ben Haggarty is one of the world's leading contemporary storytellers, who creates and performs work inspired by international fairy tale, myth and epic. His deep research into ancient stories and cultures also led to the graphic novel series MeZolith with artist Adam Brockbank. Starting from this stone age horror project, we explore all sorts of questions surrounding research and telling (and re-telling) of traditional narrative. Since the age of stone and bone the storyteller has straddled the worlds seen and unseen, giving voice to tales hoary with age, tales that have been revived time and time again by countless mouths and minds before, remade, refound, rediscovered, remembered.

Dominic Kelly: The Hero Light - Irish Myth and Epic #8

Sun, 13 Mar 2022 23:14:52 +0000

Dominic Kelly is a performance storyteller who has ventureddeep into the vast landscape of stories that surround the Irish mythological hero Cú Chulainn – so much so that he cycled around Ireland to see all the mythical places found in the Táin, sometimes called Ireland’s National Epic or the Irish Iliad.

We speak about engaging with myth, how stories like the Táin have the potential to ground us in reality, and if there's a value to violence told well.

Performance premiere special: HRIST – an act of divination with KAI-EN and Mikael Öberg #7

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 09:41:12 +0000

"All of the drama of divination serves to move the participants out of their normal modes of thinking, shaking them up in order to change their minds because their current understanding of the situation is inadequate."

February 25th 2022 sees the premiere of a brand new collaboration between performance storyteller Mikael Öberg and butoh artist KAI-EN: HRIST – an act of divination. We investigate the ingredients and inspirations for this performance and learn about butoh, Norse Mythology, divination practices and the search for the alive-space in between.

Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen: How to build a god - Immanence and Symbolism #6

Sun, 06 Feb 2022 23:14:17 +0000

Our guest Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen is a historian of religion and founder of the project Nordic Animism. His PhD "The Stick and the Calabash“ is a result of extensive anthropological research of the Brazilian Candomblé tradition and of how the archetypal energies of gods are manifested there. We talk about trance and possession, conspiracy theories, and modern society’s loss of a subjective relationship with the forces of the world. And underneath it all we ask the question - what exactly is a god and how do you build it?

THE QUOTE READ IN THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE

Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen:

”Defining mythology as symbolism is reductionist in two senses:

1) it shortcuts that slightly too long discussion about how mythology relates to reality in order to uphold and perpetuate a distinctly modern epistemology that interiorizes religious meaning.

2) it is therefore wildly Eurocentric and sees any religious reality from the symbolic perspective because of the compatibility with modern perception and therefore occludes that in most animist, or even religious, perceptions symbolism is only one out of a whole range of devices used to relate to non-human subjects and produce reality.”

John Dominic Crossan:

”My point is not that those ancient people told literal stories and we are now smart enough to take them symbolically, but that they told them symbolically and we are now dumb enough to take them literally.”

Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen:

”My point would be that those ancient peoples did not tell symbolic stories that people are now unfortunately so dumb that they take literally. But rather that they told them literally and that we are now dumb enough to need symbolicism to understand them rather than try to grasp the infinitely complex and exquisitely attuned realities that they express."

At this time of year, when pork will be served on many a holiday plate, we turn our attention to the pig - an animal both loved and loathed since ancient times. What are its mythological connections?

Join us in the divine muck, where we encounter kings and goddesses from Greek and Norse Mythology, as well as Celtic Druids and a fearsome ghost pig from the Swedish midwinter forests.

Jo Blake: What Does Myth Do Anyway? #3

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 11:31:01 +0000

”Flowers become flesh becomes bird…”

The first guest on our show is Jo Blake, a performer working across the disciplines of storytelling, theatre and dance. She has written a PhD about her project of unearthing the mythological character Blodeuwedd (flower-face/owl) from the depths of the Mabinogion - a medieval Welsh text regarded as one of the oldest and most complete repositories of British Celtic Myth.

We talk about mythic ambiguity, female trickster figures and the importance of making the wrong choice...among many other things!
