About this episode

Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen is a Historian of Religion, Ph.d from Uppsala University in Sweden.

The objective is to recover Euro-traditioanl forms of landconnectedness ecological knowledge and kinship with the greater community of beings. Rune has lived in a number of countries in Europe, Africa North- and South America and presently runs the platform “Nordic Animism”.
