Great show!
Berserkers have always been a weak spot for me.
It was research into these warriors that led me to wodanism which in turn led to my racial awakening. I remember reading something about a warrior who had his hand cut off in battle and used the blood spraying from his stump to blind his enemies.

This link has information on a myriad of different ancient and semi mythical warriorcults who exhibited Beserker like behaviour.

Stay strong, Reckoning
Sorry for the jumbled, confused section on the berserker battles. I was not entirely prepared for that part. I will try to cover them more accurately on a future show. I also realize that I did not pronounce alot of the Scandinavian names correctly, and I apologize for that. A few, quick points. Antonio Banderez played a moore in 13th warrior and not a Spaniard as I mentioned. Also, Crispin Glover played GEORGE McFly and not marty mcfly. Hope u enjoyed the show as much as I did. 🙂
Thanks for the show Andy.
I want to add:
The set and setting are fundamentally crucial to every psychedelic experience.
If these warriors were using mushrooms, it was in a vastly different context to what we are familiar with. They did not have the option to curl up in their jammies in front of the TV/computer. They did not have a “normal” life to return to on Monday the way we think of it.
All who are curious should read the erowid.org Experience Vaults for more insight into this mushroom.
