Sinopsis

We believe that George R. R. Martin has put a lot of effort and thought into creating a deeper dimension of archetype and symbol in his writing. Hes created connections between past and future, between sky and ground. Hes built on classic figures from world mythology and twisted them around in new and incredible ways to fashion his own archetypal characters whose divine roles are played out by the characters in the story. Hes done all of this not only to be artistic and clever, but because hes actually participating in a grand tradition of esoteric, symbolic art. Keeping this tradition alive is of critical importance and tremendous value to society, and that is why I believe this facet of A Song of Ice and Fire is so worthy of study. This podcast is intended to be our vehicle to explore these inner workings, and it is fueled by enthusiasm, yours and mine.

Episodios

  • Odin Origins 3: Jon Snow

    08/06/2021 Duración: 43min

    In the third of three videos explaining how the mythology of Odin and Yggdrasil heavily influenced ASOIAF, we'll dive into Jon Snow as the embodiment of Odin's berserk battle fury (for which Odin is named). I'll also show you how skinchanging, greenseeing, and northern culture in general comes from Odin mythology related to wolves, ravens, and bears.

  • Odin Origins2 : Bran Stark

    12/05/2021 Duración: 36min

    In the second of three videos explaining how the mythology of Odin and Yggdrasil heavily influenced ASOIAF, we'll dive into Bran Stark's tendency to fall, fly, hatch eyeballs from his forehead, and of course, 'trip his little Stark nuts off.' We'll compare the Nightfort to Valhalla, and we'll visit Whitewalls from The Mystery Knight to discuss the wily Maynard Plumm, who is of course Bloodraven. As always, you van find the matching video on the lucifermeanslightbringer YouTube channel to enjoy the full visual experience.

  • Odin Origins 1: Bloodraven

    11/05/2021 Duración: 36min

    The first of three videos explaining how the mythology of Odin, Norse god of shamanism and many other things, heavily influenced George R. R. Martin's ideas about magic, weirwoods, greenseers, skinchangers, and the North. Part 1 will cover Bloodraven and the greenseer relationship with the weirwood, p2 will cover Bran and his version of Bloodraven's Odin symbolism (plus action at the Nightfort and Whitewalls form the Mystery Knight), and p3 will cover Jon, skinchanging, and the animal-like fury of Odin's berserker warriors.

  • The Vedic Indian Origins of Dany, Drogon, and House Targaryen

    20/03/2021 Duración: 01h17min

    Well, this one literally took me a month to make, I hope you enjoy it! A deep dive into the mother goddess mythology and Vedic Indian mythology in particular from which George fashioned the greatest character in modern fiction, Daenerys Targaryen. Kali, Durga, Sati, Vritra, Dany, Shiva, Parvati, all play a part, plus we'll say a quick hello to Adam and Eve, Aphrodite, Jormungandr, Tiamat, and a few other notable personages from world folklore.

  • The Old Gods (Origins of the Green Men)

    22/02/2021 Duración: 36min

    This video is both a culmination of the Origins of the Green Men series **as well as** a tour de force demonstration of George Martin's hyper-advanced "story-within-a-story" writing technique. You wont find writing like this anywhere else, in my experience! You also won't find this analysis anywhere else, nor because I'm smarter than anyone else, but because those other channels lack the devotion to Garth that we practice here.

  • Weir Walkers: The White Walkers of the Weirwoods

    09/02/2021 Duración: 34min

    My definitive theory on the the weirwood origins of the "white walkers of the wood," as they are called. This ties together my green man ideas and my crucial "Azor Ahai invades the weirwoodnet and corrupts it" theory and shows how they relate to the creation of the Others.

  • Garth the Green Man (Origins of the Green Men)

    20/01/2021 Duración: 25min

    My definitive video concerning the Green men, Garth, the Isle of Faces, and the Weirwoods! It's going to get more than a little bit horny, fair warning :)

  • The Holy Isle of Leng (Origins of the Green Men)

    11/01/2021 Duración: 37min

    We're told very little about the Sacred Order of Green Men on the Isle of Faces - like, what are they even? But we know the Isle of Faces is full of weirwoods, and is probably important to the story. Good news! I think I've solved this most obscure of origin mysteries in ASOIAF, and the story begins in the far east, on the Holy Isle of Leng... or, rather, beneath it...

  • The Prince That Was Promised to the Others

    22/12/2020 Duración: 36min

    Sure, Jon may be the Prince That Was Promised... but what if he's also the Prince That Was Promised to the Others? This video will examine the possibility of an ancient baby-swapping pact with the Others that Jon may have to fulfill...

  • The Stallion Who Mounts the World (Weirwood Compendium 10)

    12/12/2020 Duración: 01h42min

    Hey friends! This is live podcast presentation form a couple months back that never made it to the feed, and it's a really good one too! The Stallion Who Mounts the World prophecy is thundering with symbolism, and we are going to ride the lightning along with Dany - and Bran. I'm working on catching up and getting more stuff on the podcast feed, so I hope you enjoy. Thanks for all your support!

  • Lord Snow: The Others Will Steal Jon's Body

    11/12/2020 Duración: 46min

    Jon is dead, as of the last pages of A Song of Ice and Fire, and though we all expect his inevitable resurrection will be gnarlier than on the show, but just how much gnarlier? Perhaps, very.

  • Eve Did Nothing Wrong: Sacred Symbolism and the Garden of Eden

    23/11/2020 Duración: 33min

    Did mankind really "fall" with the eating of the forbidden fruit of the 'Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,' or did Eve actually take the first symbolic steps towards free will and self-determination? The lens of sacred symbolism reveals the hidden, ancient truth lurking beneath centuries of religious dogma, and it's a truth that liberates and transforms.  Also, big news: this video is the beginning of an upcoming BOOK! "Paradise Gained: Christianity, Sacred Symbolism, and Freedom from Dogma" by David Beers.

  • Stealing Dawn: The Darkstar Story

    24/10/2020 Duración: 19min

    The original, one-and-only "Darkstar will steal Dawn" theory, starring Ser Gerold "Darkstar" Dayne and also featuring Edric Dayne, fAegon, Arianne, Jon Snow, and of course Arthur Dayne.

  • Night's King Crow's Eye (Euron pt.2)

    07/10/2020 Duración: 30min

    There is no "Night King / leader of the Others" figure in the current book storyline like there was on the show. But one could emerge... and that one is Night's King Crowseye!  

  • Shamanic Thunder Horse (Weirwood Compendium 9)

    30/09/2020 Duración: 02h13min

    Astral Projection! Weirwoods! Dunk and Egg! Sleipnir and Yggdrasil! It's all here in Weirwood Compendium 9! This was a scripted podcast that I presented live, lightly edited for the podcast feed. WWC 10 coming next week on the pod feed!

  • Born to Burn the Others (Daenerys Targaryen)

    25/09/2020 Duración: 29min

    Daenerys Targaryen is an abolitionist dragonlord with fire to spare. The Others are magical ice demons who enslave the dead. Seems like a match made in the heart of winter...  don't miss the follow up Q&A stream on Sunday Sept 27th, or catch it on the replay on YouTube!

  • Euron, King of the Apocalypse (Euron Pt.1)

    11/09/2020 Duración: 40min

    A god-king born from the graves a charnel pits. The most horrifying, twisted version of Azor Ahai reborn imaginable. The usher and the ruler of a new age of darkness. The third head of the dragon. A new Night's King. Euron Greyjoy may be all these things and more.

  • A New Night's King?

    11/09/2020 Duración: 25min

    We haven't seen a leader of the Others yet in the books, but the symbolism suggests that one will emerge...  Hey friends! So sorry to get behind on the podcast feed, but I'll be catching up this week. I do want to remind you that most YT livestreams will not appear in the podcast feed, as it's simply too time consuming to edit all of the audio, so do make sure to check in at the channel. I will however put Weirwood Compendium 9 and 10 on the feed this week, so cheers and enjoy!

  • Night's King Azor Ahai

    28/07/2020 Duración: 34min

    Were Azor Ahai and Night's King the same person? The symbolism of Stannis Baratheon and Jon Snow tell the story. Val is in this one too :)

  • Origin of the Others: Night's Queen

    28/07/2020 Duración: 24min

    Nothing less than my best case for the theory that Night's King and Queen lived during the Long Night and created the first white walkers. Huge thanks to Durran Durrrandon and his essay: https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/126880-one-god-two-gods-red-god-blue-god-melisandre-and-the-nights-queen/
