  The mythology of the Norsemen is a tapestry woven with gods, giants, heroes, and creatures, shaping the beliefs and culture of the Viking Age. Rooted in oral tradition, these stories were passed down through generations, evolving over time yet retaining their essence. Norse myths explain the creation of the world, the forces that govern existence, and the inevitable fate that awaits all beings, including the gods themselves. Unlike many mythologies that depict their deities as all-powerful, Norse mythology embraces the concept of struggle, destiny, and the impermanence of even the mightiest figures.  
    
  At the heart of Norse mythology is a pantheon of gods divided into two main groups: the Aesir and the Vanir. The Aesir, led by Odin, are associated with war, wisdom, and governance, while the Vanir, including Freyja and Njord, are linked to fertility and prosperity. Though originally at odds, these two factions eventually united, reflecting the Viking worldview of balance between opposing forces. Alongside these deities are powerful figures such as Loki, the trickster, and the Norns, who weave the fates of gods and men alike.  
    
  The Norse cosmos is structured around Yggdrasil, the World Tree, which connects the Nine Realms. These include Asgard, the home of the gods; Midgard, the realm of humans; and Hel, the domain of the dead. This vast and interconnected universe embodies the Viking understanding of life as an intricate web of cause and effect, where fate is both inescapable and deeply intertwined with personal action.

  Black Country Music - Listening...

  Black Country Music tells the story of how Black musicians have changed the country music landscape and brought light to Black creativity and innovation. 
  After a century of racist whitewashing, country music is finally reckoning with its relationship to Black people. In this timely work—the first book on Black country music by a Black writer—Francesca Royster uncovers the Black performers and fans, including herself, who are exploring the pleasures and possibilities of the genre. 
   
  Informed by queer theory and Black feminist scholarship, Royster’s book elucidates the roots of the current moment found in records like Tina Turner’s first solo album, Tina Turns the Country On! She reckons with Black “bros” Charley Pride and Darius Rucker, then chases ghosts into the future with Valerie June. Indeed, it is the imagination of Royster and her artists that make this music so exciting for a genre that has long been obsessed with the past. The futures conjured by June and others can be melancholy, and are not free of racism, but by centering Black folk Royster begins to understand what her daughter hears in the banjo music of Our Native Daughters and the trap beat of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road.” A Black person claiming country music may still feel a bit like a queer person coming out, but, collectively, Black artists and fans are changing what country music looks and sounds like—and who gets to love it.

  Former special assistant to President Trump, New York Times bestselling author, and evangelical Christian Cliff Sims shares the lessons he learned on faith, politics, and the Christian witness while working in the halls of power.   American life today is consumed by politics. Even our churches are tearing themselves apart over political candidates, cultural flashpoints, and debates about whether certain pastors are vessels for the Holy Spirit or an unholy political agenda.   So how should Christians approach our lives in this time of strife and division? How should we engage in politics and respond when we find that our beliefs are at odds with the culture? And how do we keep our focus on eternity when the present attractions of the world are there in front of us at every turn? Cliff Sims, the son of a Baptist minister and man of deep Christian faith, has walked the halls of power, serving as a Special Assistant to President Trump and Deputy Director of National Intelligence. While working at the highest levels of the American government, he experienced firsthand the cutthroat world of power politics, an environment that can test the character of any follower of Jesus, and he wrestled continually with how to live out his faith.   In this book, Cliff shares hard-earned wisdom from his time serving in government, giving Christians lessons on how to live faithfully and with integrity. Recounting stories from the West Wing, Air Force One, and top secret bunkers, Sims offers practical advice and biblical insight on how to let the light of Christ shine in our dark world, regardless of our politics.  The Darkness Will Not Overcome is a must-read for every Christian who has found themselves exasperated by politics, fearful about the future, or discouraged by the times in which we live.
