A new episode of Ramblings Through Vanaheim has just gone live!

It’s me again! Sorry about the late post, holiday duties caused a bit of a delay.

We’ve reached the final chapter in our Norse genealogy series, and it’s time to step into the halls of the Æsir. This episode follows the family lines from Borr [BORR] and Bestla [BEST-la] through Óðinn [OH-thin], Frigg [FRIG-ga], Thor [THOR], and the generations that shaped the myths we’ve been exploring together over the past several weeks. Along the way, we untangle relationships, examine what the surviving sources actually tell us, and spend a little time with some of the quieter figures who deserve far more attention than they usually receive.

As always, we’ll separate the lore from modern interpretation, acknowledge where the sources fall silent, and leave room for thoughtful UPG without pretending it replaces the old texts. Genealogies may sound dry on paper, but they’re really the framework that allows the mythology to breathe. Once you know how everyone is connected, the stories themselves begin to unfold in entirely new ways.

If you’ve been following this series from the beginning, thank you for taking the journey with me. If you’re just joining us, don’t worry—we’ll make sure the family tree is only slightly confusing by the time we’re finished.

I hope you’ll grab a cup of coffee, settle in somewhere comfortable, and come ramble through the royal house of the Æsir with me.
