Why Beowulf is Relevant Today - With Paul Begadon

Jack Donovan discusses Beowulf with Paul Begadon, Order of Fire member and author of The Layman's Havamal, who has spent the last year narrating and using AI to illustrate this classic heroic tale.

Paul provides a thorough and engaging summary of the story of Beowulf and explains why he believes it is relevant today and how we can engage with it in such a way that it enriches and informs our own lives.

For a more, read his essay, "Beowulf : An Ancient Model for Modern Heroism" on his web site https://woodkern.net .
