While people often think of winter when they think of the North, nothing is more beatiful than Nordic summer. It's bright, warm and brief. The seasons here are a great allegory to life, and how a month or two of beatiful summer makes up for the cold and darkness of life.

Mortality is scary, especially when you don't believe in an after-life. The panic and soul-crippling terror when you realize you could go to sleep and then never wake up again, completely ceasing to exist... and you wouldn't even know it was your last.

@@Sheriff_K You don't need to believe in the afterlife to see that your existence is not tied to your body. You are the universe looking at itself from a specific point in space and time.

Kaldheim captured my imagination like no other plane since Theros. I bought my first magic cards in many years just to marvel at those beautiful images and stories. It even got me to read the Poetic Edda and explore norse language and myth (thanks dr. Crawford). Truly a special place.

This essay reminds me of a time a few years ago when a younger, more foolish version of me pushed back on the notion that MTG KZfaq could enhance my life. "I already live and breathe this game more than anything else that I experience," I said. "What can ten minute videos on Magic teach me?" It was an early Rhystic Studies video that showed me that while the medium of the video essay was unlikely to enhance my competitive play, it is the perfect vessel for cognitive and emotional bombshells that to this day connect my gaming life to my experience of the world that surrounds it. Rhystic Studies continues to be the only channel capable of making me forget myself completely as I give my ears and mind over to Sam's steady hand, and voice. Kudos, Sam, and thanks. And I hope that now that your formal commitments to academia are in the past, you'll be able to bring even more of that spirit of curiosity and discovery to your writing and video production for Rhystic Studies.
