Arith, really enjoying your open humour, peppered within your expanse of knowledge with pagan, heathen, viking. The vikings of Saaremaa, Estonia, are still not spoken of enough. Greetings from Tallinn 🇪🇪
There's still much to explore. Unfortunately, historiography focusing on European history in the past 200 years, has been almost always from the same point of view and contexts, generalizing (or overshadowing) everything else. The Baltic area has a wonderful history that should definitely be explored, and other areas as well, of course. Estonian and Finnish Iron Age and Middle Ages is a fascinating subject, as well as the study on Finno-Ugric and Balto-Finno languages; Lithuania has wonderful symbologies quite similar to the Balkan and Icelandic 1500s-onwards symbols and sigils; The Iberian Pre-History and Bronze Age is (not surprisingly) filled with cultural similarities with those of Western and Northern Norway; The widespread cult of horned figures, heroes and gods of the mediterranean area, etc. There's always the very sad idea that a particular culture is exclusive to one people at one time, but every cultural detail has been shared by hundreds of cultures for thousands of years. Thank you friend, stay strong and best of luck!
I love this idea of studying more about this region. There's not many resources, in English at least, about this region. I am infinitely curious about it too❤
Love ur humor, and a ton of us share ur sentiments !!! I love the knowledge u share, I've always been a person who seeks and ( u have made it easy-T.Y. ) it is never ending, theres always another question, and another stone to turn over.
Thank you. Watching from Alaska. Since you're answering questions could you please explain all of the pictures of chickens on the back wall. Asking for a friend. Thank you.
Of late, I've seen many people curious about that lol. Cockerels and Hens has been a cultural-decoration theme among my family, on my mother's side. Both in Old Norse Mythology and Lusitanian Mythology (and Portuguese Folklore) these animals play the role of rebirth and linked to the afterlife, as well as symbols of renewed light. They are death and reincarnation, often linked to the Underworld. Although, I doubt my most recent ancestors and family members were aware of this (I myself wasn't aware of it until a few years back, and these types of cultural-decorations haven been among the family as far as we can register it). It's funny to see how meanings in particular themes in cultures are forgotten, but not the themes themselves, and they remain through the generations. They become a sort of unconscious significance, and we perpetuate it by still including such things in our life, without even remembering the origins. Be well, and have a wonderful rest of the week! :D
Another space at the end of the day, when I can enjoy your company and learn new things, wonderful. Always time well spent. Thank You once more and many Blessings,❤.
That's because Arith is the Bob Ross of Nordic scholarship. His knowledge and presentation are perfect for putting the pieces of the picture of our True Ancient Culture back together. 😁 As a practitioner of Seidr since 1991, Arith has been a blessing, he often confirms what I receive when conferring with the Ancestors: I've never felt like Runes were intended for divination, because they told me this, for example. Like any discipline Seidr requires confirmation. Coming from both a American Native and Native European lineage I take the Heilung approach to reclaiming our Ancestral Heritage.😁 For example I see, through Seidr, that the Eight- Legged Bison depicted in The Cave of Forgotten Dreams, is a Proto Indo-European depiction of Sleipnir, and tells us that Sleipnir was divided into the Domestic Horse and Domestic Cow at the end of the Ice Age, when we shifted from a hunter-gatherer to an agricultural society: the story of Buri being licked out of the ice by a domestic cow, intended as comedic allegory and not at all literal. For background I was quietly recognized as a Seidmadur under Diana Paxton's H'rafnir Kindred. I never took the highchair because I didn't feel right about answering superficial questions about people's love life. However I know that ritual is real because I regularly held the highchair and felt the temperature drop, causing me to physically shiver because it was indeed Cold As Hel. Understand that the first time I held the highchair I had no idea the Seeresses were journeying to Help; thus there was no way this could have been psychological. Additionally, I am convinced of Seidrs legitimacy, notice I don't say "believe," because one of the Seeresses referred to me as The Rooster in Old French and was herself perplexed by this. I never told them I am what is now called an "Hereditary Witch" coming from a Family Tradition that claims to be Descendants of the Druids of Ancient Gaul. H'rafnir recognizing me as having "The Sight" not only confirmed my lineage but also solidified their legitimacy. Understand that their perception of me was that of a Native American liaison between the Native American and pagan communities in the Bay area of California. This was true but that's not all I am. The way I see it if magic doesn't have a tangible effect, it's just imagination. Arith, and scholars like him are an invaluable asset to our people. Sorry for the serious tone but I hope Arith will see this so he knows that his work is appreciated by even serious mystics like myself. In any case PS Yes I am decent of Literal Vikings, a predominant Danish Viking family; but my perception is that the Viking Age IS Ragnarok, when we lost touch with our Ancestors, which lasted roughly from 793 - 1945 CE the Red Comb beginning with the planting of the seeds of Yggdrasil in 1850 and ending tragically with clown merging our culture with our Ancient Enemies, who had called us "Pink-Skinned Savages" perhaps Washington should change their Football Teams name to the Pink-Skins?🤪
(In my opinion, and that’s all this is) Anything can be used as a form of magic or divination. You could draw a smiley face on one side of a disk and a frowny face on the other, ask a yes or no question then give the disk a spin for simple yes/no answers. All the symbols and items are, (and again this is just my opinion) is a way for people to focus their minds and direct energy.
The graveyard on the island of Saaremaa is said to be distinctly Viking and dates to 650 - 700 A.D. Arith just said it was dated to 750 A.D. As far as I know, it possibly dates to as early as 650 A.D.
6:41 This is what one voiced out at a lecture on Viking clothes (history of materials) at Midgard in Borre (Vestfold) some years ago. One attendee asked what social standing did the materials come from. The lecturer or book author embarassingly admitted it was more of the higher social strata. Many attendees, including myself, thought the lecture was a cough out of the same...Tja! People want more of the life story of the ordinary Scandinavian person in the Viking era.
Indeed, and sadly, the great majority of surviving evidences always comes from one very specific social strata: that of the aristocracy. The regular folk has often been in the shadows before the internet-age (even today, there's always an inclination to know more about celebrities' lives than anyone else). This really tells us a thing or two about the way our societies are built: we know more about the smallest percentage of the population, rather than the great majority of the people. There's still this unconscious collective idea that the wealthy are more important. When it comes to Viking Age society, it is indeed very hard to know any reality outside that of the aristocracy, as it was a highly statigraphed society.
Arith man, I'm right there with you being jaded with life. The way you don't give a fuck anymore seriously reminds me of myself now adays. Keep hanging in brother, your work has been beautiful and valuable. Much love.
Hi from Germany. I have been watching your videos for a few weeks now and i really think -for me-this is the best channel to get some academic knowledge about our beliefs. I like your way of sharing knowledge with us, and i really like your a bit more serious/souveran vibes. You dont talk just to hear yourself talking and i think thats awesome. Im a 39 year old woman and mother and finally released my pagan heart after being manipulated and scared by abrahamic dogmatic beliefs for all my life. I always felt the presence of spirits and deities around me in nature and within myself. But it was a long struggle to really break free from monotheism. I was having several health issues, spiritual and physical. And eversince i had my "vision" every issue just disappeared. All the trauma i experienced since i was 5 has gotten so much better to deal with. I thank the gods and the spirits ❤. I finally get to be myself. And with your help i can get more knowledge. I want to support your channel a bit, but i dont know how to go about it. I need to figure this out. 😅 much love ! Your Sarah

Hope you get over the IDGAF episode soon. I am confident that you will because your personality as a genuinely good person is manifest and was set long ago. Decent people have to decompress with a IDGAF period from time to time.
This is good stuff, as usual. Thank you for sharing and elaborating, my friend. And I can relate to the age 35 kind of attitude even though I happen to have turned 29 for the 6th time recently - isn´t that strange? :D
Your take on everything is right in line with my thinking too. Too much misinformation on purpose. Always love hearing another say this. So I know I'm not insane
Darling, Arith, I thought I left you a quick comment about a new discovery made in the North of Sweden recently. Its not showing up. Maybe I did not send it after all!? Love all your videos so much 💕
Really interesting, as always, Arith. About the shields on the boats, it looks to me that the shields are just stacked tidily and easily accessible for the men to pick up when disembarking, rather than actually attached to the side of the vessels. :)
Before I go further into the video...about how long can you last in bed...would you mind of I sent you an infusion? Or I can write you the ingredients, so you can make that yourself? It's pretty easy, equal part of chamomile (Camomilla matricaria), rose buds (Rosa centifolia), lemon verbena (Aloysa citrodora), lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), with added basil (Ocimum basilicum) and lavender (Lavandula angustifolia). I added the latin names to make the research easier, since I only know the names in English and Italian. Last time I did it, "one part" was a deciliter worth of herbs, and the last two were a full spoon each. Every single herb has its medicinal properties, but also a magical one, and both can be quite helpful. If you are able to put your hands also on some pieces of orange peel, it adds that fruity taste to the infusion that can boost it up. Okay, I'll keep going on with the video 😁
@@ArithHärger activate the plants before you mix them! They'll help you to reduce anxiety and get a restful sleep, and good dreams too 😊 be well, my unknown friend...there's only one of you on this planet right now!
Thank you for the video Airth, I think the greatest shame of historical artefacts is that they will most often come from those who could store well their clothing, or their graves were gilded. The ordinary and even middle classes used out their materials and passed down what they had until it was worn away. They couldn't afford to bury or preserve these things, perhaps if time travel is ever possible we will learn much, but who knows the trouble that could cause in itself! Anyway, I hope you and yours are well.
I just worship the Gods and Goddesses of Asgard in our times. Asatur is actually a modern ideology. Someday we will get a Holy Scripture/text. So many of our people are returning to the faiths of our Ancestors. I found the Gods and Goddesses of our ancestors in 2016 at 57 years old. As more of our people regain the faith of our True Gods and Goddesses, they will hear our prayers and awake from their slumber. I made my own runes. I haven't prayed with the Runes in over a year because I have been black pulled unfortunately. I must renew my faith.
The timing of this post blows me away, as much of it parallels the rabbit hole I've fallen down regarding the Ynglingasaga, some historic claims that Odin (or, perhaps AN Odin) was originally a king in the region of Turkey during the Bronze Age and the rune Yng being one used in the modern Unicode. Yeah....REAL deep rabbit hole :) Anyway, one certainly has to wonder at the similarities between the ancient Turkish runes and myths and the Scandinavian runes and myths.
Interesting you say that. There's an ongoing belief that the god Odin was originally from the Middle East, introduced in the Germanic areas due to the massive migrations of those peoples back in the 1st century BCE, forced out by the Romans. But these migrations also occurred earlier, all the way to Finnland. It's not just Odin that shows surprising similarities with Middle Eastern (and Iranian) pre-Islamic deities: before the WWII Norwegian historians and amateur archaeologists (and other Europeans) were conducting an interesting study about the similarities between pre-historic rock carvings of boats in the Middle East, with those of Bronze Age Scandinavia (and other such themes). Sadly, with the great war, such studies were abandoned, mostly due to the political and racial ideologies of Nazi-Germany, which was then deeply rooted in Norway.
@@ArithHärger Yes! Exactly so! According to sources Odin's tribe may originally have come from Iran (!) and founded a huge kingdom across Eastern Europe, ending in the city called ASGARD in ASIA east of what today is the Don. He attempts to conquer the VANIR people east of the Don in Vanaland, but fails, and they exchange hostages, three of whom are Frey, Freya and their father, Njord the Rich. First Njord and then Frey (or Yng, a kenning, also the rune Ingwaz) inherit Odin's Yngling kingdom in Sweden, founding their royal dynasty. Am I reading all of this correctly? Please correct if I am wrong. Tracing back farther one uncovers a plethora of similarities between runes/alphabets and myths of all the cultures Odin's tribe (Turks? Scythians?) came into contact with during his migrations. This all started when I noticed how similar are the Nordic runes to those of Old Turkey and other ancient peoples, although I don't know who originally borrowed from whom. And THAT all stemmed from learning that there is a Unicode block that includes a variant of the rune Ingwaz, among others.
@margaretwhitmer2715 Greatly appreciate the information and insights in your post. Considering the regions, timing, and peoples that created the migrations these theories become increasingly interesting. Would you be willing to provide any direction on sources referencing these connections? I have a growing passion for the migration ages and would appreciate the opportunity to learn more. Thank you
@@spikenhammer1324 My "research" is a rabbit hole of trying to understand why the ancient Scandinavian runes currently used by modern pagans are so similar to those used at various times in history all across Asia and Europe in nearly every nation and now there is a "runic block" of computer Unicode. It's a fascinating example of how symbols evolve through the ages - almost as if they were alive, at least culturally. The Ynglingasaga, which supposedly explained the history of Swedish and Norwegian kings, was written by Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241). It likely is a good example of how myths in ancient times so easily got mixed up with fact. Snorri perhaps conflated the Asir (house of the Gods) with Asia and the Troja’ region with Turks, because they were Turks in his own lifetime. And yet, modern Swedish historian Sven Lagerbring backed him up in an obscure book stating that Odin was a Turkish king and Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, in a book called "The Search for Odin," claimed metal belt holders, rings and arm bands dating from 100-200 A.D. found in excavations around the mouth of the Don River were almost identical to Viking equivalents found in Gotland, Sweden. If YOU can throw some light on this, kindly enlighten ME, because oh my goodness!
I have been learning and have always had an affliction for history science and knowledge your attitudes and knowledge are refreshing to a world that is become truly hungry for emotional and intellectual understanding of esoteric knowledge we all know that we have been i wont say intentionally lied to but anyone who is honest with there quest for the truth cant help but see the similaritys between all that we come across in books traditions etc most see a common thread and that is shaping or manipulating the narrative now these are my observation and my opinion so dont start burn the heathen were all on a journey for the truth anyway i feel we all are learning about many things now f just look at the good and the bad that have come over the last 150 years alone the net has made it where people from all over the world can learn and communicate from and with each other but only if were mature and love for each other is at the lead of your intention love your channel and your prospectives on your material thank you for your work
@Supermanrs you should make your own set. I bought colored modeling clay at Walmart, formed the runes and baked them in my oven. They are awesome. I pray to Wotan by spreading the runes in a row of 5x5 (you must add the blank rune discussed by Robert Blum) and those runes close to the blank rune have a stronger effect than the ones far away. I will have to make a video. Praise to the Gods and Goddesses of Asgard!
@@molotulo8808 Maybe someday I will make myself a set. I usally use either the set my wife bought me or the set that my brother in law made for me out of resin. Yeah I usually do either a 5 rune reading or a 9 rune reading. I also use tarot cards and have worked out so that I can use some of the same layouts that I use with tarot cards with my runes. But I am always trying out new layouts for both runes and tarot. I also often incorporate my pendulum into my rune and tarot card readings to help clarify the results of my readings.
Everything that deals with archaeological data and material culture, especially the most recent studies dealing with grave artefacts and the evidences on temples. Sadly, the great majority of evidences are from the cults and religious expressions of the aristocracy, so we don't get to know much of anything concering the belief systems of the great majority of the population. However, I suggest always looking into folklore of the countries and local folklore as well, which holds important ideas that can be traced to the more animistic belief systems of the "common folk", and compare it with the sources available, historical, archaeological and contemporary sources.
I have to say. I live in the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. My neighbour and myself go to the mountain areas and I see branches and tree limbs that have fallen and I see ruin symbolism everywhere. I think that is definitely how they got the language of the landscape 👍
Also I have amazing pics of woodpecker holes in trees next to ruin symbols. And they are all definitely natural. It really makes one think. Thank you for this video
Just because we have no evidence of it, it doesn't mean they didn't do divination with runes. We could find out tomorrow that they did. I'm guessing they used bones or other natural objects. Probably watched the behavior of animals too. I completely agree that ancient doesn't mean better necessarily. And, if you could ask Odin, he would probably say "Innovate."
Also, I always assumed that the side shields were just being carried that way- that given the very tight space on the war ships, it was more practical for them to be strapped in place on the sides, rather than carried internally... Dunno if I just made that up as head canon or if I encountered that somewhere though.
The "past" is always a creation of the present as when Wiccans refer to the "old religion." This is obviously an error in reason. However I don't think the magic of today need rely on the past, nor be fundamentally rational to function. Magic is an act of creation.
My attorney will be contacting you shortly, Sir. I intend to sue you and hold you fully accountable for my injury. I was in the Whataburger parking lot when this was played. I proceeded to laugh so hard, my drink shot out of my nose, and I nearly choked to death. My arse summarily fell off. You can't just recklessly post this stuff with no accountability. ☠️💀😈🙉
I love and culture and i'm part of it, but i can't ever consider that this religion, or faith, or whatever anyone would like to call it, is real. I'm a cultural theist, but it doesn't go any more further than that because there isn't any god. But i think that this says a lot about this belief system. In comparison to when i was christian, i had complete control over my thoughts and consideration and consciousness, which i used to get to truth, solutions, passions. I love the gods and i talk to them from time to time, but i know clearly that they aren't real. What i cherish most is the gratitude for everything and the love for everything that you have as a pagan. And how, in comparison to christians, muslims, jews, we live life to the fullest without and imaginary leash on our minds or power of comprehension or will to make decisions. We celebrate life, our ancestors that died for everyone to be able to be free and have power in today's era.

Nice jobe as always professor.
Really interesting, as always, Arith. About the shields on the boats, it looks to me that the shields are just stacked tidily and easily accessible for the men to pick up when disembarking, rather than actually attached to the side of the vessels. :)
life IS fun, youre so right, i cant do anything without something fun happening, fun all over the bloody shop
Before I go further into the video...about how long can you last in bed...would you mind of I sent you an infusion? Or I can write you the ingredients, so you can make that yourself? It's pretty easy, equal part of chamomile (Camomilla matricaria), rose buds (Rosa centifolia), lemon verbena (Aloysa citrodora), lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), with added basil (Ocimum basilicum) and lavender (Lavandula angustifolia). I added the latin names to make the research easier, since I only know the names in English and Italian. Last time I did it, "one part" was a deciliter worth of herbs, and the last two were a full spoon each. Every single herb has its medicinal properties, but also a magical one, and both can be quite helpful. If you are able to put your hands also on some pieces of orange peel, it adds that fruity taste to the infusion that can boost it up.
Okay, I'll keep going on with the video 😁
Thank you very much! Good thing I have all of those (and more) at home. It's going to be great :D Thank you, and enjoy!!!
@@ArithHärger activate the plants before you mix them! They'll help you to reduce anxiety and get a restful sleep, and good dreams too 😊 be well, my unknown friend...there's only one of you on this planet right now!
Please 🙏 sir i would love to ask you some question.
Thanks 👍 Mike from Oregon.
Thank you for the video Airth, I think the greatest shame of historical artefacts is that they will most often come from those who could store well their clothing, or their graves were gilded. The ordinary and even middle classes used out their materials and passed down what they had until it was worn away. They couldn't afford to bury or preserve these things, perhaps if time travel is ever possible we will learn much, but who knows the trouble that could cause in itself! Anyway, I hope you and yours are well.
I just worship the Gods and Goddesses of Asgard in our times. Asatur is actually a modern ideology. Someday we will get a Holy Scripture/text. So many of our people are returning to the faiths of our Ancestors. I found the Gods and Goddesses of our ancestors in 2016 at 57 years old. As more of our people regain the faith of our True Gods and Goddesses, they will hear our prayers and awake from their slumber. I made my own runes. I haven't prayed with the Runes in over a year because I have been black pulled unfortunately. I must renew my faith.
Your beard is taking the Gandalfian route.Be well Mr. A.
I hope you're feeling ok my friend ❤🔥
Better now, thank you for asking. How have you been? Hope all is well with you :D
Please show us more methods!
The timing of this post blows me away, as much of it parallels the rabbit hole I've fallen down regarding the Ynglingasaga, some historic claims that Odin (or, perhaps AN Odin) was originally a king in the region of Turkey during the Bronze Age and the rune Yng being one used in the modern Unicode. Yeah....REAL deep rabbit hole :) Anyway, one certainly has to wonder at the similarities between the ancient Turkish runes and myths and the Scandinavian runes and myths.
Interesting you say that. There's an ongoing belief that the god Odin was originally from the Middle East, introduced in the Germanic areas due to the massive migrations of those peoples back in the 1st century BCE, forced out by the Romans. But these migrations also occurred earlier, all the way to Finnland. It's not just Odin that shows surprising similarities with Middle Eastern (and Iranian) pre-Islamic deities: before the WWII Norwegian historians and amateur archaeologists (and other Europeans) were conducting an interesting study about the similarities between pre-historic rock carvings of boats in the Middle East, with those of Bronze Age Scandinavia (and other such themes). Sadly, with the great war, such studies were abandoned, mostly due to the political and racial ideologies of Nazi-Germany, which was then deeply rooted in Norway.
@@ArithHärger Yes! Exactly so! According to sources Odin's tribe may originally have come from Iran (!) and founded a huge kingdom across Eastern Europe, ending in the city called ASGARD in ASIA east of what today is the Don. He attempts to conquer the VANIR people east of the Don in Vanaland, but fails, and they exchange hostages, three of whom are Frey, Freya and their father, Njord the Rich. First Njord and then Frey (or Yng, a kenning, also the rune Ingwaz) inherit Odin's Yngling kingdom in Sweden, founding their royal dynasty. Am I reading all of this correctly? Please correct if I am wrong. Tracing back farther one uncovers a plethora of similarities between runes/alphabets and myths of all the cultures Odin's tribe (Turks? Scythians?) came into contact with during his migrations. This all started when I noticed how similar are the Nordic runes to those of Old Turkey and other ancient peoples, although I don't know who originally borrowed from whom. And THAT all stemmed from learning that there is a Unicode block that includes a variant of the rune Ingwaz, among others.
@margaretwhitmer2715 Greatly appreciate the information and insights in your post. Considering the regions, timing, and peoples that created the migrations these theories become increasingly interesting. Would you be willing to provide any direction on sources referencing these connections? I have a growing passion for the migration ages and would appreciate the opportunity to learn more. Thank you
@@spikenhammer1324 My "research" is a rabbit hole of trying to understand why the ancient Scandinavian runes currently used by modern pagans are so similar to those used at various times in history all across Asia and Europe in nearly every nation and now there is a "runic block" of computer Unicode. It's a fascinating example of how symbols evolve through the ages - almost as if they were alive, at least culturally. The Ynglingasaga, which supposedly explained the history of Swedish and Norwegian kings, was written by Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241). It likely is a good example of how myths in ancient times so easily got mixed up with fact. Snorri perhaps conflated the Asir (house of the Gods) with Asia and the Troja’ region with Turks, because they were Turks in his own lifetime. And yet, modern Swedish historian Sven Lagerbring backed him up in an obscure book stating that Odin was a Turkish king and Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, in a book called "The Search for Odin," claimed metal belt holders, rings and arm bands dating from 100-200 A.D. found in excavations around the mouth of the Don River were almost identical to Viking equivalents found in Gotland, Sweden. If YOU can throw some light on this, kindly enlighten ME, because oh my goodness!
I have been learning and have always had an affliction for history science and knowledge your attitudes and knowledge are refreshing to a world that is become truly hungry for emotional and intellectual understanding of esoteric knowledge we all know that we have been i wont say intentionally lied to but anyone who is honest with there quest for the truth cant help but see the similaritys between all that we come across in books traditions etc most see a common thread and that is shaping or manipulating the narrative now these are my observation and my opinion so dont start burn the heathen were all on a journey for the truth anyway i feel we all are learning about many things now f just look at the good and the bad that have come over the last 150 years alone the net has made it where people from all over the world can learn and communicate from and with each other but only if were mature and love for each other is at the lead of your intention love your channel and your prospectives on your material thank you for your work
Love your stuff kick on love it 👍 ❤
Love your humor😂 great video!!
Love the intro!
Faq 😂
I love number 7 y aguante Messi (?)
Nothing better than educating oneself while laughing at witty jokes ❤
Glad you enjoyed this mess :D
Your opening😂
Na I love it man, never apologized for such honesty! Ive always felt the same way about high paid sports. its faq'ng ridiculous.
27:00 that final part would have fitted well in the previous question. 😁
You carry yourself with a lot more maturity and stature than a typical 35 year old 🙂
Love the sense of humor too
I use The Runes to gain Wotan's wisdom.
Same here. Actually did my first rune reading in a while last night. I recently was gifted a set of new runes so I had to start the bonding process.
@Supermanrs you should make your own set. I bought colored modeling clay at Walmart, formed the runes and baked them in my oven. They are awesome. I pray to Wotan by spreading the runes in a row of 5x5 (you must add the blank rune discussed by Robert Blum) and those runes close to the blank rune have a stronger effect than the ones far away. I will have to make a video.
Praise to the Gods and Goddesses of Asgard!
@@molotulo8808 Maybe someday I will make myself a set. I usally use either the set my wife bought me or the set that my brother in law made for me out of resin. Yeah I usually do either a 5 rune reading or a 9 rune reading. I also use tarot cards and have worked out so that I can use some of the same layouts that I use with tarot cards with my runes. But I am always trying out new layouts for both runes and tarot. I also often incorporate my pendulum into my rune and tarot card readings to help clarify the results of my readings.
What literary sources would you recommend if the sole purpose of the reading was to reconstruct the old faith?
Everything that deals with archaeological data and material culture, especially the most recent studies dealing with grave artefacts and the evidences on temples. Sadly, the great majority of evidences are from the cults and religious expressions of the aristocracy, so we don't get to know much of anything concering the belief systems of the great majority of the population. However, I suggest always looking into folklore of the countries and local folklore as well, which holds important ideas that can be traced to the more animistic belief systems of the "common folk", and compare it with the sources available, historical, archaeological and contemporary sources.
You are funny and smart. Probably why I married a Viking 🥰 Subscribed 👍
I have to say. I live in the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. My neighbour and myself go to the mountain areas and I see branches and tree limbs that have fallen and I see ruin symbolism everywhere. I think that is definitely how they got the language of the landscape 👍
Also I have amazing pics of woodpecker holes in trees next to ruin symbols. And they are all definitely natural. It really makes one think. Thank you for this video
I like. Very educational. 🙂
Archangel Michael
Just because we have no evidence of it, it doesn't mean they didn't do divination with runes. We could find out tomorrow that they did. I'm guessing they used bones or other natural objects. Probably watched the behavior of animals too.
I completely agree that ancient doesn't mean better necessarily.
And, if you could ask Odin, he would probably say "Innovate."
I hate football too, for many of the same reasons. ❤❤
Anyone else really concerned that Arith broke? I am two minutes in and he is saying the things out loud that we feel.
Numero 7 runa Gebo 🔥🔥💜🤘 E já amando o começo da Live kkkk Loki total kkkkkk Desconstrução kkk Adoro 🔥🔥💜🤘🤘👏👏🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛
You're so funny 😂😂😂😂
A dusty shit😅 love it❤❤❤❤
Grande parte da paz interior é dizer "que se foda", nao é?
Nem mais lol
There's a difference between not giving a fuck and inner peace?
Huh.. I would re-evaluate my life but apparently I don't give a fuck.
😜
Also, I always assumed that the side shields were just being carried that way- that given the very tight space on the war ships, it was more practical for them to be strapped in place on the sides, rather than carried internally...
Dunno if I just made that up as head canon or if I encountered that somewhere though.
I too so not give a dusty FAQ anymore. Skol
The "past" is always a creation of the present as when Wiccans refer to the "old religion." This is obviously an error in reason. However I don't think the magic of today need rely on the past, nor be fundamentally rational to function. Magic is an act of creation.
Who knows, maybe one day proof might be found that runes were used in a more “magical “ sense. Lying never helps anyone.
My attorney will be contacting you shortly, Sir. I intend to sue you and hold you fully accountable for my injury. I was in the Whataburger parking lot when this was played. I proceeded to laugh so hard, my drink shot out of my nose, and I nearly choked to death. My arse summarily fell off. You can't just recklessly post this stuff with no accountability. ☠️💀😈🙉
Sorry mate, it is what it is :P
I am proud of being Asatru, because monotheism is a lie. Sports are horrible to watch (especially if they have dindon'ts)!
Attack tennis then. Bowling. Cricket. Darts. People will pay to see the best of the the best. But you I'm just clicking off. Ease your ego my friend
FIFA is literally one of the most corrupt organizations there is.
I love and culture and i'm part of it, but i can't ever consider that this religion, or faith, or whatever anyone would like to call it, is real. I'm a cultural theist, but it doesn't go any more further than that because there isn't any god. But i think that this says a lot about this belief system. In comparison to when i was christian, i had complete control over my thoughts and consideration and consciousness, which i used to get to truth, solutions, passions. I love the gods and i talk to them from time to time, but i know clearly that they aren't real. What i cherish most is the gratitude for everything and the love for everything that you have as a pagan. And how, in comparison to christians, muslims, jews, we live life to the fullest without and imaginary leash on our minds or power of comprehension or will to make decisions. We celebrate life, our ancestors that died for everyone to be able to be free and have power in today's era.
A dusty shit😅 love it❤❤❤❤
