The Fylgja: Norse Spirit Animal or Guardian Spirit?

After ages of a lot of you requesting this topic I finally squeezed the extensive research into my schedule and made a video on the Fylgja! In this video we're going over what Fylgjur are, what kinds of Fylgjur exist and how we can work with them in modern life.
