    As an atheist, at a certain point, I simply felt that perhaps I was missing the protection of something. That something, however, could never have been a cross, for me always a symbol of weakness and false religion. I am Italian, born in Rome, so in theory I should have adopted a Greco-Roman paganism, but nothing transmitted to me the very strong mystical and esoteric component of Norse paganism. This is why I wear Mijolnir.

    As a 15yr Heathen it is a sacred symbol. It is a connection to the ancestors whome I call upon, it is a connection to my path which is a way of being. A reminder to all of the complexities it is to live and breathe being a Heathen and strive to do and be better. To be honest, blunt, mean well, fully embody Frith and challenge those around to do the same (even if they are baby steps for them). Mjolnir is the beater on the drum of my life, and he is the spirit who can bridge that gap of Earth & sky.

    Odin was not just a fighter but also a seeker of wisdom and was able to predict the future. I see the Gungnir as a symbol of facing the battles in life and standing your ground, not letting people walk over you or talk you down. It’s also a symbol for searching knowledge in your spiritual journey and sharing knowledge with others.

    It may not be accurate but I go by the moon phases and the weather in my area we have long summers and long winters short springs and short autum so I start with the first full moon in October as the first day of winter then 3 full moons or 3 months basically Dec is when I celebrate yule mid December or end of December for 3 days I celebrate yule then in the first full moon of towards summer I celebrate sigurblot I don't know if that's correct or not.

    • @therideinmidgard
      @therideinmidgard 2 місяці тому

      What you celebrate is pretty close to the traditional Germanic calender. Yule according to the pre-christian calender seems to have been on the Full moon 🌝 f January, but many people celebrate Yule around Winter solstice because that is what they know. Sigurblot seems to have been on the full moon after the spring equinox, so dates vary from year to year. I also follow the seasons and cycles where I live, I have found that the old Norse calender does work in different regions.

    • @GothicRose-cb3ve
      @GothicRose-cb3ve 2 місяці тому

      @@therideinmidgard yes it does work it different regions especially if you follow the lunar way of it because there really isn't a set date as it changes and depends on your area when the full moon or new moon lands and it's really easier to understand but I got off the three mostly first for understanding because in ylingas saga chapter 8 I think in my snorri sturloson book says Odin's law is the 3 blots winter start Midwinter Then summerstart 1 for a good year 2 for a good crop 3 for victory then the additional 2 can be added that are alfblott etc Depending on how you celebrate I suppose some do all cross quarters but starting with the 3 first helped me understand better so like for me where I live yearly following the moon cycles victory blot for example starts for me third full moon after mid winter blot so 3 months after yule or moon cycles after and it lands in summer Then I was able to add the others or cross quarters later.

    Thanks for this video. Of course, the seasons also were very important for our ancestors. The Sun and its conventional mytheme of "being dragged over the sky by animals or transported in a ship", is not natural or logical. There is NO WAY anybody can observe such a scenario and make such a mytheme. A wheel is a symbol of a "rotation around its center" and the ONLY possibility of observing this scenario in nature, is to study the Earth´s celestial axis an its motions. And THEN we get the natural explanation, namely the celestial center around which stars. star constellations, and the contours of the Milky Way are revolving. Then the natural mytheme is: A POLAR WHEEL seemingly pulled around by star constellations of Ursa Minor or Ursa Major. If speaking of a "ship", the crescent vaulting Milky Way figure very easily can be stylized and depicted as a ship "sailing" around this celestial Wheel. More illustrations here, search "native-science (dot) net/mythical.ship" Best Wishes

    I think, we need to remember, that 'the code of conduct' would probably very much depend on the type of divinity. You bow and prostrate for earthy realms (seems so), yet, definitely, stand up and 'rise' for others... etc. makes perfect sense. I remember precisely to be guided to 'stand tall' even next to a Christan icon. It is a very intimate process, but also hold deep ancestral codes, for what I am now pretty sure of... Thank you.
