About this listen

During the Middle Ages, we Westerners abandoned our polytheist, animist heritage for the dualist separation contained within monotheist Christianity. Doing so separated our hearts from our minds.

The traditional spiritual mythology of Europe teaches that when a man dies in battle, he ascends to the “hall of the chosen” (Valhalla) where Odin trains him to fight as a spiritual warrior. To “die in battle” does not mean being killed in acts of physical violence. It means to live fearlessly from the heart without regret. Those who live this way have no attachments to this earthly life.

Since they have no regrets, they have no need to be reborn. They are free to ascend to spiritual heights after death and to help the living in their daily “battle” to be free. This is the path of the spiritual warrior. He condemns mindless destruction born from fear and cowardice wherever he finds it. He fights for the freedom of the heart and soul. He becomes Odin (He who is consumed with the fire of self-awareness).

In Odin Says, Michael William Denney shares his personal experiences communicating with a being claiming to be the god Odin. The author also explores and discusses the historical authenticity of the Jesus myth as well as the historical origins of modern monotheism and the massive shift in consciousness of the European psyche.

According to Denney, "After the fall of Rome, the victorious Germanic invaders of Italy and Spain almost immediately abandoned their native language and religion and replaced it completely with that of Rome. This was a perfect example of the Stockholm Syndrome on a massive cultural scale. In the case of the subsequent European conversion to Christianity, we not only adopted the identity of our Roman conquerors but have overcompensated in ways even the Romans would have been shocked to see.This unconscious shame and self-hatred has then been projected onto all those whom we have conquered."

Odin Says examines the toxic effects of monotheism on Western culture and the modern world.

Denney does an incredible job articulating and piecing together what so many of us know in our hearts to be true incorporating historical evidence, language interpretation and internal personal work.

More about Christians than Odin. Not at all what I was expecting. Very dry and hard to listen too.
