The moment I clicked on this video I could feel Frigg’s presence, as if to say, “This is important, listen carefully.” Your second lesson has been one that She has been encouraging me to develop recently- the idea of a Queen as a hostess, a governor, a stern, thoughtful, and fair maternal presence in her community- all of that, she’s been pushing me gently to develop. Good hospitality is one of the most ancient values that people across many cultures have embraced, and having Lady Frigg to teach me has been amazing.
You are doing great work brother I am also learning a lot my self Odin has blessed me with some much wisdom and knowledge and I am really greatful for it and Thor blessed me with the strength to handle life the gods saved me from my own darkness I am really greatful all hail Odin and all hail lord Thor and all hail the allfather of Valhalla skal brothers and sisters from a very proud Norse pagan from Dublin Ireland
1. I want to visit Iceland and Scandinavia more than ever. 2. I was raised in a tight-knit Christian community, but left in my 20s. I'm so happy to see so many people building communities based on the old ways. 3. Recently, I've been spending all my free time reading and watching Norse pagan content. It seems like there has been an explosion of interest in the past 5 years or so. I love hearing everyone's stories and insights! 4. I agree. The internet, consumerism, globalism, etc. have had profound effects, both negative and positive. I try to take some time everyday to read Havamal, stoic philosophy, or something else meaningful to meditate on. And I've been trying to go hiking more, Tokyo is surrounded by beautiful mountains for hiking. 5. Havamal 47 hit me pretty hard when I first read it, especially the last half. A supportive community really does make you feel rich. Thank you for this video, and I wish you all the best in your wanderings Jacob!
Something I was told years ago by a young woman from Denmark was that each person we meet in life can teach us at least one new thing. When she said it it made me wonder if she was repeating wisdom from her homeland so ancient it used to be uttered by her ancestors whom we might dub Vikings.
That was beautiful man! Truly inspiring. Thank you for filming this on such a breathtaking location! Never been to the US myself, but I am trying to find ways and save money and make it possible to travel and explore this gorgeous country. Perhaps I am applying the same method like you did on your trip to Germany. Planting seeds and then harvesting the fruits. I really like your determination, mindset and honesty, and I've been following your channel for a few months now. Great videos, editing, WISDOM and friendly vibe. What more can a person wish for? I wish you all the possible best on your path as a Pagan and in life. All of this is coming from a guy living in Bulgaria, struggling to survive and trying to find ways to become a better writer, a better artist and a better person in general. Thank you and keep on keeping on! Hail to the gods and hail to the goddesses!
It seems like only yesterday I was watching your video on how thankful you were for reaching 11k Subscribers, and now here you are approaching 50k. Congratulations, and be careful with all of the success on your mental health.
Thank you! It hasent always been easy. At first it was exciting to grow so much, but with popularity comes a lot of unforeseens. Part of the reason I made this video is because these are the things that make it all worth it. While at the Heilung show I met well over a dozen people who loved the channel. Truly warmed my heart and was a good reminder why I do this! 🍻
Loved this video so much. I used to run 4 miles a day and I would just focus on my timing never seeing anything that surrounds me. Now I walk and take in everything thanking the Gods. Your suggestions, wisdom, experiences or whatever u want to call it is quite helpful. I want to read everything I can get a hold of and making a journal is a great idea. Thank you Jacob. Skol!
I found your channel because I was searching for pagan videos a few months ago Clicked on 1 watched it for a few minutes then didn't think about it again till yesterday when I found your video on Odin. Now I've watched a lot of them and you said people don't worship or celebrate Thor much that got me thinking about mjolnir and how I going to carve one. Long story short I finished work at midnight got home walked outside and asked Thor to guild me in my creation of a mjolnir pendent. I put on your vidoes abput Thor and started creating my mjolnir...It's 3am and I finished it up. I went outside and realized that it had been raining within the time I started the mjolnir to when I finished it. I thanked Thor. It felt like only about 30 mins had passed and it was 3 hours lol.
Another excellent video! Thank you for sharing your experiences and your wisdom. I am still very early in my journey, but I have learned much from your channel and I thank you for what you do.
Love your videos and your podcasts listen almost everyday on the way to work. Y’all have really helped me on my Norse pagan journey and have really helped changed my life
I love the passion you expressed in this video and the information you provided, your videos are truly helpful. Thank you for sharing these videos for young norse pagans like myself
Haill! Great video Jacob and as you mentioned gods doesn't expect much from us as long we don't expect much from them which makes a perfect harmony balance among humans and gods as Norse Paganism. Skål to you and to all the Gods!
That ending was hilarious. I was vibing to the end credit music as I normally do after watching your videos. I try to use it as a mini meditation to take in what was just presented. I actually laughed out loud from the shock of the sudden "stop, I forgot something". Not to say that as a bad thing I just wanted to say I found it hilarious because you never do thatin your videos and I was totally caught off guard! It was also the funniest and best reason for a reflection to be interrupted. Also heck yeah! This is exactly what religion should be! Love your videos, love your energy! Your influence has changed my life, I found Descended from Odin because of you. Through that community and through the inspiration your gatherings gave me and many of my new friends, I took a step towards finding my own local community. This week I finished a NYS locals norse pagan group so that we could make friends and soon plan our own gatherings. I've met wonderful people so far and as I've been telling them, there is always room at the table for the friends we haven't met yet! Thank you for being here, making this content, and sharing the love and guidance you've gained along your journey. Until the hall and always my friend, skål.
@@TheWisdomOfOdin 100%. Its like if they went to the grocery store and saw the spice section. They would go insane. Thats like the world's economy to them on a shelf, unguarded. They'd be dumbfounded lmao
Oh you are so Right Brother , Many will have their different Traditions and ways that’s not important, So don’t complicate it, Cause you simply can’t, follow your intuition
I'm in Colorado now, but if you think Colorado is alive, try Washington State; I lived there, and I visited, and any time I'm there I feel a STRONG sense of the spirits around there. If you'd like to find a new place to roam, the area is also near Mt. Ranier and the Cascades... It'll be totally worth it.
I´m so much in phase with what you said (I don't know if this expression is right in english...), that... I had goosebumps all along !!!! I didn´t expect to cry on that video but I had my eyes wet ! Haha! Thank you Jacob, I feel like i´m not alone when I watch your videos. 🥰
Another great video! :D my family Nearly moved to Colorado But they Decided to Settle in England to be close to my mothers Parents But I always get excited when I see anything from there as I sometimes imagine myself there thank you for all you do and waking up Norse Pagans all Over the world! SKALD! x
A lot of people look to the past to only see violence, death, and suffering. What I choose to look for is that we as humans have always wanted laughter, happiness, and companionship. We just don't tend to write/record those things. The iron/Bronze Age ancestors ultimately looked for those same things! And if we look deep enough we can find those things in the faiths of old.
*Allow me to share something with you all to explain that this faith is very much alive!* 😊 Did you know that here at my coast in Norway, we still speak like 60% of the same tongue as they did in 750 A.D? Same with the way we write. From my grandfather’s 370 year old house and all the way down to the sea, there are viking graves and items👌🏻. Other Norwegians barely understand us, and there is some very good reasons for that. The coast that I live at, has been called the coast of savage fishermen for 100s of years. During Norway’s 434 year long period under Danish control, our coast was not effected that much by the big changes. Not even when the Swedish made us union from 1814 - 1905. The sea, forests and our specific location saved us from a lot of changes which the rest of Norway had no chance to withstand. The old ways are kept deep within our hearts. Traditions and life itself is by the ancient ways at my coast. Parts of Denmark, Sweden have also kept this faith. Especially Iceland! Honor The Gods & Take Care! 🇳🇴🇮🇸🇸🇪🇩🇰🍻🍄
I'm new to this and unsure, I feel like Odin is trying to tell me something. Hopefully I can figure everything out but your videos are definitely helping
I think one of the big things that drew me toward Norse Paganism is that I’m a filmmaker, and storytelling is a big part of my life, I’m still just starting on my journey but in these past weeks I can already feel the positive changes
My grandfathers family came from Norway, and my grandmother was part Swedish. I’m a tall guy 6’7 and pretty broad and I’ve always been called a Viking, very fitting 😂. Growing up I was around Christianity and was never into it or believed it much with all due respect to believers of that religion. When I was old enough to know better, and was beginning to really lean toward Asatru, I almost felt ashamed or crazy for it. When I watch shows like Vikings, or read about Norse paganism I always feel a connection like something is trying to speak to me. I remember when I was an ultra runner. There was an instance I was training on a long run, just exhausted, and I saw a crow and I felt this immense power in me and finished that long run with a personal record. There’s also been other things that have made me feel like the gods were speaking to me or sending me signs. Today I discovered your channel and watched some videos and made the commitment to Asatru. This channel has been extremely educational to me and a great place to get started. I look forward to learning more and becoming more in tune with the gods and my faith. Thank you for your content.
Journaling! Why have I never considered this? Thank you so much Jacob, that has to be one of the best suggestions I’ve ever received my Brother. I wish I had considered it earlier.
I can say that Ive taken to writing my experiences down, partially as a way of speaking to the gods with conviction (i feel like i can do things better if ive written them down first) but also because I can look back at my past offerings or rune readings and remember that time in my life and what I was going through at that time, definitely helpful.
To wander, whether locally or a far, is something sacred. Both to explore, but also to be the answer giver. Which may seem strange or a shared experience, but when I wander people ask me questions, like what is this? Or where do I find this? And there is a connection to wisdom.
I hope you enjoy CO! I just moved here and have yet to visit the mountains other than for the Heilung show that happened recently. I'll be looking forward to going through your videos to help me learn more about this path I've started walking down :D
So yesterday I join this amazing religion and last night I was visited by Skaði it was amazing she was beautiful and we sat down and talked it felt so unreal it was soo good
As an agroecologist and homesteader, I feel closer to the Gods and Goddesses through my work with nature. The Vaettir have been active in the burn scar of the CZU fire, and I work to clear the understory of the forest to keep it healthy and I draw them to me with my intentions of keeping the natural cycles flowing.
My first connection to the Gods was a crow. I was sitting at the beach. Listening to nature, my mind was clear, and a crow larger and darker then I had ever seen landed in a near by tree. I felt Oden, I felt that he knew I had found my way. I sat, looking at this overwhelming sign from the gods and the crow vanished. It was simply gone. It seemed to crazy. I questioned if what I had seen was real. Thank you Oden. For visiting me. For showing me I am on the right path.
If you ever get a chance to wonder towards ND you should check out the scandinavian heritage park which has a replica stave church and the hejemkomst center in moorhead mn to see a viking ship and another stave church too
while I was watching this video, I was doubting myself and this path, most likely due to a fear of change, and then suddenly I thought, "don't let fear stop you." it was kinda out of the blue but it's good advice so I'll take it lol
Thank you for this. I've put off by pagan communities because i can't connect to the complexity of practice a lot of the times. I live for the pride of my ancestors, I try to see the gods as guidance and nature as a gift. I don't blot or sabbat, I just love nature and the little ones within it
Russia and Scandinavia believe it or not have a deep historical connection, the Scandinavian princes gave the Russian society order when it needed it most, the name Russia is in itself Viking as it is derived from the Rus Vikings
Completely off the topic, I appreciate all you do to help those who want to understand and want to further their knowledge or religion. Just a thank you, and now I will deep dive into all of your videos 🙃
In the old days, there was a lot of story telling, because people actually lived their lives instead of being home every day. There wasnt so much fear and depression as there is today in many parts of the world. There were things to explore. Yes you can explore the world today but you can only do it if you have money. Or someone paying for your journeys.
I'd say for most people, it has never been easier to explore the world. Doing it through the internet is already *exploring*, for example, and if we do have money, we have possibilities our ancestors could only dream of. Sometimes we tend to get lost in believing that we lack something we used to have, when it could even be the opposite.
@@lazarusblackwell6988 Ah yes? I don't have the time right now to go back to the video and type out the quote of the Havamal Jacob put on screen, but doesn't it specifically talk about how travelling will enable you to broaden your perspective, and understand what and how other people think? The internet is as real as we make it be. It is a tool, and it is foolish to assume it worthless just because it is different.
To elaborate on the power of the internet: never has it been easier to explore different cultures, to learn of different religions, philosophies, schools of thought. Never has it been easier to listen to what other people from all around the world have to say, and to form your own opinion afterwards. Use what you have. I saw your other comment, about how you don't feel free to explore because of paranoid people. I don't know your circumstances, so I can only say it again: Use what you have. The world is not going to change to make it easier for you. We face different obstacles than our ancestors did, that's all it is.
I am from Puerto Rico and I am "neo Nordic pagan" or whatever, I started on this path by myself less than a year ago and I only continue forward, it is not easy but the truth is that you feel good when you look back and see the progress and the changes you have had thanks to the father of all and all the gods.
I just looked into it. It appears to be an issue with Teespring. They are having distribution problems (like many things right now) so they are only selling certain prints it looks like. I just updated the store with what is available. Be sure to check out the store page itself for that updated list. Sorry for the inconvenience!
We really should ask the members of The Who (those still alive) whether or not they still believe in the maxim "Hope I die, before I get old". My guess would be nyet.
Would have to have a conversation with you, I had an interesting event happen in my life last week. Happened during a thunderstorm and I’d love to have a conversation about it.
Wandering is foolish, especially if you do so in the mountains of Colorado. This guy did not "wander" to the location he is filming from if he is 2 hours off the plane. Wandering can get you killed
I don't feel free to explore the world because everywhere you look there are people. People trying to control everything around them. Paranoid people who look down upon everything and everyone different.

‘We’re all wrong.’ This is why I like your channel more than many other Norse Pagan channels. Humility is an expression of wisdom.

Wandering is great to venerate Óðinn, but exploring is great to venerate our explorer ancestors. Love that. Always had that thought myself
The ancestors would truly be amazed at how easy we can travel now, and they would be shocked how little people take advantage of that!

Did you know that here at my coast in Norway, we still speak like 60% of the same tongue as they did in 750 A.D? Same with the way we write. From my grandfather’s 370 year old house and all the way down to the sea, there are viking graves and items👌🏻. Other Norwegians barely understand us, and there is some very good reasons for that. The coast that I live at, has been called the coast of savage fishermen for 100s of years.

What part of Norway is this?
Hiking in the moutains of Colorado is what opened my eyes about odinism.
I'm new to this and unsure, I feel like Odin is trying to tell me something. Hopefully I can figure everything out but your videos are definitely helping
I think one of the big things that drew me toward Norse Paganism is that I’m a filmmaker, and storytelling is a big part of my life, I’m still just starting on my journey but in these past weeks I can already feel the positive changes
My grandfathers family came from Norway, and my grandmother was part Swedish. I’m a tall guy 6’7 and pretty broad and I’ve always been called a Viking, very fitting 😂.

I think it would be amazing if you visited places like this and compared beliefs with somebody from the indigenous peoples of that area!!
Skapanir is my favorite right now!!
"Is this not what religion should be!?" 🤘🏻♠️ love it.
Yeah a religion that doesn't force their beliefs on anyone
.
So yesterday I join this amazing religion and last night I was visited by Skaði it was amazing she was beautiful and we sat down and talked it felt so unreal it was soo good

I questioned if what I had seen was real.
Thank you Oden. For visiting me. For showing me I am on the right path.
If there is a heaven for me, it would look like that place. Interesting timing of this stuff in my life. The journey begins.
Crazy. I moved to Kentucky last year and want to move to Colorado. Haha
Your information sounds like exactly what my native ancestors did, they taught to be one with the Creator and one with nature.
If you ever get a chance to wonder towards ND you should check out the scandinavian heritage park which has a replica stave church and the hejemkomst center in moorhead mn to see a viking ship and another stave church too
The Viking ship museum is on my list of places to travel! Ill need to check out those stave churches too!
I would love to slow down. But need to seek my treasure before I can purchase land and finally relax
I’m a Colorado native and would love to meet up with you and your team! Meet another Norse would be amazing! Good luck
How do you feel about the environmental impact of flying/driving places to travel?
You could do guided hikes to
Someplace cool. Than do your talks. Maybe a weekend retreat.
while I was watching this video, I was doubting myself and this path, most likely due to a fear of change, and then suddenly I thought, "don't let fear stop you." it was kinda out of the blue but it's good advice so I'll take it lol
Thank you for this. I've put off by pagan communities because i can't connect to the complexity of practice a lot of the times. I live for the pride of my ancestors, I try to see the gods as guidance and nature as a gift. I don't blot or sabbat, I just love nature and the little ones within it
I'm going to find a spot to make a little alter for the gods what should I put
Russia and Scandinavia believe it or not have a deep historical connection, the Scandinavian princes gave the Russian society order when it needed it most, the name Russia is in itself Viking as it is derived from the Rus Vikings
Completely off the topic, I appreciate all you do to help those who want to understand and want to further their knowledge or religion. Just a thank you, and now I will deep dive into all of your videos 🙃
In the old days, there was a lot of story telling, because people actually lived their lives instead of being home every day.
There wasnt so much fear and depression as there is today in many parts of the world.
There were things to explore.
Yes you can explore the world today but you can only do it if you have money.
Or someone paying for your journeys.
I'd say for most people, it has never been easier to explore the world. Doing it through the internet is already *exploring*, for example, and if we do have money, we have possibilities our ancestors could only dream of. Sometimes we tend to get lost in believing that we lack something we used to have, when it could even be the opposite.
@@itsme0acryingcookie Exploring the world through the internet is a waste of life.Only real experiences matter.
@@lazarusblackwell6988 Ah yes? I don't have the time right now to go back to the video and type out the quote of the Havamal Jacob put on screen, but doesn't it specifically talk about how travelling will enable you to broaden your perspective, and understand what and how other people think? The internet is as real as we make it be. It is a tool, and it is foolish to assume it worthless just because it is different.
To elaborate on the power of the internet: never has it been easier to explore different cultures, to learn of different religions, philosophies, schools of thought. Never has it been easier to listen to what other people from all around the world have to say, and to form your own opinion afterwards.
Use what you have. I saw your other comment, about how you don't feel free to explore because of paranoid people. I don't know your circumstances, so I can only say it again: Use what you have. The world is not going to change to make it easier for you. We face different obstacles than our ancestors did, that's all it is.
I am from Puerto Rico and I am "neo Nordic pagan" or whatever, I started on this path by myself less than a year ago and I only continue forward, it is not easy but the truth is that you feel good when you look back and see the progress and the changes you have had thanks to the father of all and all the gods.
Odin is the allfather and will send signs , only some things are signs ,whether in dreams or while wandering you'll learn to see them.
What part of ky I’m in same state and looking to meet more of people like me
What's the music on this video
Never say you can't plant or grow things! I know for sure that you can, and the gods may well guide your hand! It isn't hard, brother!
I knew that looked familiar. Welcome to Co.
The cloud is a giant server farm underground in California.
Those who thumbs down this video are disconnected from their ancestors. I thought it was great, informative and down to earth--er--down to midgard.
I also live in Kentucky. I recently just moved and I'm having trouble connecting to the Gods since I moved. any suggestions?
Hey Jacob, I am getting a 404 error on your "Religion/Waterfall/Green..." items. Have they been discontinued or is this some kind of glitch?
I just looked into it. It appears to be an issue with Teespring. They are having distribution problems (like many things right now) so they are only selling certain prints it looks like. I just updated the store with what is available. Be sure to check out the store page itself for that updated list. Sorry for the inconvenience!
@@TheWisdomOfOdin Hey no problem, appreciate the quick reply, Skål!
Anyone want to help me start this journey? I'm really feeling the calling but don't really know where to start...
We really should ask the members of The Who (those still alive) whether or not they still believe in the maxim "Hope I die, before I get old". My guess would be nyet.
You should live in Colorado lol it’s great here!
What book are you getting these quotes from?
The Havamal in the Poetic Edda
In Colorado?
Think you'll visit Jackson Crawford?😂
Would have to have a conversation with you, I had an interesting event happen in my life last week. Happened during a thunderstorm and I’d love to have a conversation about it.
Wandering is foolish, especially if you do so in the mountains of Colorado. This guy did not "wander" to the location he is filming from if he is 2 hours off the plane. Wandering can get you killed
Did you hang out with Jackson Crawford??? Lol
I wish! Felt like him filming in his home territory 😂
Lol, I can't grow things! I feel that
I don't feel free to explore the world because everywhere you look there are people.
People trying to control everything around them.
Paranoid people who look down upon everything and everyone different.
If you're going to worship deities then I suggest you do it at home where you won't be disturbing anyone and or outside

@@afreakaboucher1316 I know that.Thank you for the advice.
@@lazarusblackwell6988 your welcome I was just making suggestions
.
@@lazarusblackwell6988 are you a Norse pagan or what?
.
@@afreakaboucher1316 Im polytheistic.I pray to different gods from different cultures.
I am not 60 but I guess I my be to old for your content.
We have many members in the community who are 40+. I just tend to only film the 20+ because they don't mind 😂
Sounds like a great religio.
Think Names, thank You.
Thats twice medicine.
