The Myth of Heimdall and the Gjallarhorn (Norse mythology)

Beneath the vast, somber expanse of Norse skies, where the cosmic fabric ebbed like the turbulent northern seas, we find our sentinel, Heimdall, the guardian of the ethereal Asgard. Born of sea giants or from the loins of Odin himself, his existence bridges the mystic and the earthly, his watchful eyes and ears tuned to the universe’s subtlest murmurs. Alongside the iridescent Bifröst, he stands, the Gjallarhorn at his lips, ready to sound the rallying cry of gods at the twilight of existence. In this sleepcast, we drift into the echoes of this ancient vigil, where mythic serenity meets the guarded peace of impending twilight battles.This episode is hosted by Abigail Johnson.
