A discussion that explores Nordic mythology as a form of practical philosophy, a way of reflecting on impermanence, courage, responsibility, and the dignity of action in uncertain times. The Viking worldview did not promise safety, salvation, or comfort - not even to the gods. This talk invites us to encounter mythology not as something distant or archaic, but as a mirror - a means of reflecting on our own inner attitudes and the kind of human beings we choose to become in times of change. In this sense, philosophy is not only something to be studied, but something to be lived.
