This episode is part 2.2 of my blog series "The Direwolves of Winterfell." It covers the warg bond of Grey Wind and Robb in A Song of Ice and Fire book 1, A Game of Thrones, from when Robb leaves Winterfell until the end of a Clash of Kings. Part 2.1 covered their story before that point. 1 more video in the series is coming, to cover their bond in A Storm of Swords. 

"The Direwolves of Winterfell" discusses how the Starks possess the magic to warg their direwolves or skinchange other beasts. The series does a deep dive into how their bond is formed and expressed, as well as how each is tied to their pack. Parts 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are also available on this channel, covering Sansa and Lady's bond, and the effects that her death had on Sansa and the rest of the pack. Later parts of the series will cover Arya and Nymeria, Bran and Summer, Rickon and Shaggydog, and Jon and Ghost as the series moves forward. 

When "The Winds of Winter" blow, magic will ramp up in the world. Expect to see more from the Direwolves of Winterfell. FYI, the text of the entire series is available at alivealive0.home.blog/direwolves

This channel discusses George R R Martin's World of Ice and Fire, where his series, "A Song of Ice and Fire," and HBO's series, "Game of Thrones" and the upcoming "Blood of the Dragon," based upon GRRM's "Fire & Blood" are set. The channel will mainly focus on magic and the magical lineages within this world, especially as relates to House Stark and House Targaryen.

My handle comes from the Irish Song “Molly Malone”, which was immediately brought to mind when I read the Cat of the Canals chapter.       

The Chorus: Alive, Alive, Oh! Alive, Alive, Oh! Crying Cockles and Mussels, Alive, Alive, Oh! I play this song and other folk songs with my actual Irish Band: The Bold O’Donohughs https://www.facebook.com/BoldBassGuy/ https://www.reverbnation.com/boldodonohughs https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFbq7MS5v08g3FZslPZECDQ
