All around Europe there are ancient pagan ceremonies on the 1st of May which used to be dedicated to the goddess of dawn. In Ireland they have Beltane, and in England there was Maypole and Morris dancing which used to be for the Anglo-Saxon goddess "Ēostre" from German "Ostara". We can see similar pagan customs in Wales, Scotland, Romania, Lithuania and at the Valborg celebrations in Uppsala Sweden. In this podcast I explain how they can all be traced back to the Indo-European goddess of dawn, Hausos (*h₂éusōs).

My name is Tom Rowsell, I'm a historian, writer and film maker from England. In my professional career I have worked as a journalist and an international Science Communications specialist.

I started Survive the Jive™ blog in 2007 after I graduated with a BA in Media and Communications. Since 2009, the blog posts and videos of Survive the Jive™  focus to look more at mythology, spirituality and folklore. I got a Master’s degree in Medieval History at UCL in 2012, which greatly expanded my ideas on such subjects, particularly in regards to the values and religions of my Anglo-Saxon and Norse ancestors. 
My shows are based on thorough interdisciplinary research, drawing from archaeology, linguistics, historical sources, comparative mythology and population genetics - particularly archaeogenetics. 
The best way to learn about who I am and what I stand for is by watching my videos.

A nevem Tom Rowsell, történész, író és filmkészítő vagyok Angliából. Szakmai pályafutásom során újságíróként és nemzetközi tudományos kommunikációs szakemberként dolgoztam.
2007-ben indítottam el a Survive the Jive™ blogot, miután elvégeztem a média és kommunikáció (BA) szakot. 2009 óta a Survive the Jive™ blogbejegyzései és videói inkább a mitológiára, a spiritualitásra és a folklórra összpontosítanak. 2012-ben mesterdiplomát szereztem középkori történelemből az UCL-en, ami nagyban kibővítette az ilyen témákkal kapcsolatos elképzeléseimet, különös tekintettel angolszász és skandináv őseim értékeire és vallásaira. 
Műsoraim alapos interdiszciplináris kutatásokon alapulnak, régészetből, nyelvészetből, történelmi forrásokból, összehasonlító mitológiából és populációgenetikából - különösen archeogenetikából - merítve. 
A legjobb módja annak, hogy megtudd, ki vagyok és mit képviselek, ha követed a műsoromat.

Survive the Jive podcast is about history and ancient religions and folklore. Hosted by historian Thomas Rowsell who is also a documentary film maker, this podcast focuses mainly on Indo-European cultures and most specifically on Germanic/Norse paganism.
