“Listening to a knowledgable person (Rune) who elegantly, humouristically, honestly, excitingly and seriously shares from the knowledge that he has acquired. He presents with an energy where the sense of time and place disappeared for the listeners.

“A great balance between between the scholarly and the earthbound. A fountain of new (old) knowledge and space for questions and dialogue. The great experience made time fly :-) ”

“Great and exciting communication and a wonderful personal passion for the subject. Great and light athmosphere.”
Tyson Yunkaporta (author of "Sand Talk")
"Rune Hjarnø is a lore/law speaker for today, not frozen in an imagined past but retrieving forward into our reality a continuity of practice and deep knowledge that is adapting, creolizing, growing new branches of that tree while the roots remain grounded deep, but never polluting this growth with ideology. He's a treasure."
Mads Philipsen, (Krogerup Folk High School.)
We had the great pleasure of Runes visit at the Krogerup Folk High School. Through personal experience, scholarly perspective and and social criticism personal experience, his lively and insightfull presentation of Nordic Animism opened a new world for both students and teachers, a world nested in our cultural roots. It is an impressive balancing between verbalising a worldview that often resists rationality, yet even making it comprehensible and fascinating for the outsider. Thank you to Rune for educating us with seriousness, humour and wise words in an exquisite combination.
Andreas Lloyd, (Folk High School Teacher)
Rune is a committed and vivid teacher. His infectious enthusiasm brings ancient legends and myths to live in ways that gives new perspectives on our past while lending inspiration to solutions in our present and our future.
Lene Andersen, (spokesperson in Fremvirke, author and thinker.)
Rune Rasmussen is a fireworks of exciting knowledge and you can't get enough. Besides being an excellent storyteller, Rune has vast knowledge of our own past, that might be new to most. Our Danish ancestors were indeed brusque and their worldview was very different than ours, but yet there are traces of us and recognizable nodes in what Rune is telling. Everybody deserves to hear Rune talk.
Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen, Ph.D.
Historian of Religion, Ph.d., educated from the Universities of Uppsala and Copenhagen.
Rune has lived in many countries and done fieldwork in a number of contemporary (primarily Afro-descendant) religions, but since childhood he has had Nordic religion as a strong field of interest.
Today Rune is working on applying contemporary developments in anthropology to rethink the way we address Nordic religion both in terms of scholarship, but also as a reservoir of cultural knowledge for environmental activism and sustainability sensitization.
