Fascinating! Practical & thought-provoking

An engaging thought experiment! Humans need ritual and meaningful narrative to enable healing of our personal and societal hurts. Most of us are not getting this from our immediate family traditions. Rune shows an impressively broad knowledge of world culture and societal illness, and suggests some practical approaches.

Can we find useful tales in our (authentic) Nordic past to guide us today? Can we work together to create new meaningful rituals to sustain us in our troubled times? The answer is Yes. His analysis is engaging and open-minded. No ranting, no propaganda. Inclusive, not extremist, views.
