Exploring the Viking Age #25: Einar Selvik is back

In this episode, Einar Selvik (Wardruna) breaks down the ideas behind their latest album “Birna” — and why modern life is fundamentally out of sync with the natural world. We talk about: Why humans have lost their connection to nature The deeper meaning behind the bear in mythology and music How emotion, not logic, shapes our experience of life Touring, creativity, and the need for stillness The balance between artistic expression and personal life Einar also shares insights into his creative process, performing in places like Pompeii, and how music can reconnect us to something deeper. This is a conversation about nature, creativity, and what it means to be human today. 🎧 Listen to Wardruna 📺 Watch the documentary “Tracking Birna” on YouTube 📸 Follow for more conversations like this
