Dr. Mathias Nordvig and @rootinthewell.bsky.social interviewed me on The Sacred Flame podcast recently.
We talked vikings, of course, and a lot about how they're portrayed in popular media.

Here is the link to the new Ogham in 3D page about I-KER-055, the Kilmalkedar stone: ogham.celt.dias.ie/I-KER-055.
ANM doesn't mean "soul", but "name" or "inscription", so it's the "inscription for Máel-Inbir son of Brocán".
The form of the language is very late, perhaps already early Old Irish.
