Skáldskapr: The value of Culture in Spirituality.
Today, I’d like to discuss the influence the regional culture would have played in the development of spiritual beliefs throughout the early days of those beliefs. When considering the later development of language, and much later of the written word, we must consider that the earliest conveyance of spiritual ideas would have been very simplistic, and they would have had a very isolated experience base. Parents would have passed this understanding on to their offspring in very simplistic terms, most likely orally, and those ideas would have been expanded on as we move down the evolutionary path.
