Berserkers VI: Origins: Pipe-smoking Werewolves of Doom?–Viking History - a podcast by B. T. Newberg and history nerd friends

We go down the rabbit hole today as we explore the possible deep origins of berserkers in initiatory cults and Indo-European wolf traditions. Buckle in - it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Special thanks to Faoladh for pointing us at some of the more obscure connections between medieval werewolves and ancient wolf warrior cults. www.faoladh.blogspot.com/
