The Wisdom of Odin is a vlog of my journey through Norse Paganism, a way to assist others along their journey, and a place to promote a positive image for all of paganism.
While I personally declare myself as a Norse Pagan, I speak on topics that also involve aspects of Asatru, Heathenry, and other pagan identities such as Slavic/Celtic/Germanic paganism.
The Wisdom of Odin is not associated or affiliated with any orginizations religious or politcial in nature. This channel/community is inclusive to all but is also non-political.
All gatherings held through the Wisdom of Odin and its extended community are private events held and organized by the members of the community. The only service the Wisdom of Odin provides is a place to connect with others of similar beliefs in the old ways.

Thank you! This has helped a lot! I am just starting my relationship in the old ways with the gods. I have had some positive, awesome things happen in a situation that was affecting my wife with her job and I called out to them for help. They came through in a way that totally blew me away! Thank you Father Odin, Thor, Freya, Freyer, Tyr and the Vanir for helping! I am looking forward to growing and learning more. Thank you for posting this video. Skål!!
Glad it was helpful!
Do you feel an attraction to any patron God or goddess?
@@TheSacredStew Thor, Tyr and Freyer. Thor because he's protected me in some very 'ugly' situations in my life. Tyr because of who I am. Freyer because I'm kind of a 'weather nut' and he has a good handle on that. I'm pretty sure that as I grow, I will find more Asir and Vanir that have been there for me. I think then an attraction to more gods would surely get my attention. Thanks for asking! Skål!
Skål brotha
@@codi_yt214 Skål!! 😃
Thank you so much for these videos. I've been pagan most of my life but recently I felt Odin call to me so I'm listening and learning. You have helped me greatly!
Thank you! As I an a beginner into this and just started diving and discovering, this video is very helpfull and on time!
You got yourself a new sub!
Glad this is out here now. A lot of your recent uploads have been very good for starting practitioners and im sure it will be very helpful to many in the future
Your videos are always helpful. Thank you so much. ❤
I'm glad you preach learning from written works and people because I had to really bit my pride to admit I needed to basically ask for help. Thank you for that and the "we can't know for sure" mentally you approach each vid with
I once made an offering to Thor, and about midway through when I poured out his drink, the Mjolnir I wear heated up, like it got legitimately hot.
I truly believe in the Norse gods too. It is not a vague following because I find this topic 'cool'. I believe they are the true Gods. Thank you Allfather!
@@prv.gmail_fa What was your birth religion?
@@shaikfaiz593why does that matter?
@@coleyyy704it's interesting to see where people came from and how they got where they are. What experiences brought them down this path.
Then naturally the ONLY reason is supernatural.
What people dream up [sigh]
I feel like most Americans who worship the Norse pagan religion only say they do because it makes them sound unique from other people and that they don't actually know the first thing about the religion whatsoever. Here is an american guy on UA-cam that actually knows what he's talking about, that's excellent!
Jacob, i was on your site and couldn’t help but notice, you have mentioned that your dream was to build a place for our people. I have land plenty enough for such a place. I will pray on the matter, in the meantime is there a better way to get in touch with you. Glory to ODIN
I would be more then willing to join you on this adventure to build a community for our people of the old way ive been wanting to sell everything and move to norway but times are different and its looked down on now
Mead is super easy to brew. We offer it all the time in our stead, made with basic equipment and it is a very suitable offering for the modern erra for any of the gods or goddesses, especially when homebrewed.
Share your favorite mead recipe please....
@@TheSacredStew look for it in my channel in the next few days. I'll get it together.
Here is an old Finnish mead recipe I like. Should give that a try and let me know what ya think.
5 liters of water
250 grams of sugar
250 grams of brown sugar
200 grams of cane sugar
7 grams of dextrose (to jumpstart the fermentation so it takes a little less time)
1½ lemons' juice
1 lime's juice
A pinch of yeast
Boil 2.5 liters of water, pour it over the sugars and juice, stir until all the sugar has dissolved, then add 2.5 liters of cold water. Wait until it cools down to 37 degrees Celsius and add a pinch of yeast the size of two peas (dissolve the yeast in a bit of water first).
Ferment for a day, bottle (add about a teaspoon or a couple of sugar per bottle + a few raisins), cap loosely and refrigerate when raisins refuse to fall to the bottom when the bottle is tapped gently.
I thank you for everything you've done for me you have helped me to become a Norse Pagan you helped me so much I thank you so I'm really happy for everything
Glad to have been able to help you on your journey!
Looking good Jacob! Just joined the group, hope to see you around
I’m just starting to get into the Norse religion and this video really helped. Thank you so much.
Beautiful offering my brother! I've never really connected to Balder yet watching you do so was indeed the highlight of my morning. I use my offering bowls often and yes parchment paper is good to write on and burn in a hearth or even campfire. I have felt a great connection to Freyja and Odin in the past and it was very much like you said very simple and nothing massive besides Yule. There is something written about not offering or asking too much. Not sure from where but I know I've read it. My memory is not exactly the best. Lol. Respect and love to you and may the Gods and Goddesses keep you in this difficult time we as a people are facing.
Its only on these very specific beautiful days that I feel him. I am going to try and do a ritual to him at the next gathering to see what can come of it!
It does anger me on how you called stuff "mythology" but you are speaking facts and i thank you for what you are doing for our community brother. May odin be with you!!
The word "mythology" doesn't mean "not real".
New practicer here, but my wife recently had an amazing moment, she has pcos and hasn't been able to have her period for months and I brought out an offering and asked for help with her, the next night she had a dream of freyja visiting her and giving her am unknown liquid that she was told her mind wouldn't understand, and 3 days later she had her period, countless doctors, several different medications and what not, did nothing, but then this happened and it makes me very happy to know the gods are smiling upon us, the next child we have if female will be named freyja in her honour.
Was it a girl?
i lov viking religion n culture n i am a hindu .. but i love my hindu n also love love viking religon ..
Norse religion*
Thank you so much
Good day to you im and ulfhednar and I've just found your video today I've always believed In the norse god ur video has really helped me to understand the norse religion and I'm looking forward to the journey I have started today with your channel
I have experienced All these Different gods are varient Personas for the Same Entities the world over…Beautiful!!
I like this Best. As a Christian my religion is laudable.
Damn thanks a lot I some times don’t know how to offer and feel a bit disconnected from the gods due to staying inside with COVID and this really helped
I recently had a connection I think with Braggi and Odin. I had asked that while in my sleep I really wanted to learn false chord screams for death metal and in my dream I was shown exactly how to do it I woke up the very next day and started practicing and I was able to hit it. I looked up on top of my work building sitting in my car and saw two Ravens looking down upon me this was probably the best moment of my life. I took a picture of them and I'm able to scream death metal.
I learn from outer body experiences. Yes I had made and offering to all the gods in hospitality. Even recently asking Freya for some help with love and she didn't show me, but I seen a red haired girl in my sleep. I noticed a red head who never takes her eyes off me at work. I come from an agnostic background but this is weird when things are showing themselves to me like this also finally found some pagan and wiccan friends I begged for.
Thank you for this information. I wanted to tell my Christian friends that I have switched to the old Viking religion. Just to show them how ridiculous these ancient ideas are because trying to educate them with modern scientific information goes in one ear of the other ear. So by telling them that I worshiping a different God maybe they'll understand how ridiculous this stuff is. There are over 4,000 religions in this world with about 50,000 different gods and Supernatural invisible creatures.
I could not have said that any better well done. Lmao I was literally saying the same thing in my head
@@lukerobinson2422😂😂😂
It pains men to see that where the old Nors Culture is Now It was such a beautiful culture and died by the hands of Christianity
I am from Nigeria and I have consumed a quite number of Viking series. I was curious to know if the Scandinavians still practice this religion. I would like to visit Norway one day
Thank you Jacob, for my first video this was helpful.
Yes, keep it simple and acknowledge their gifts to you and Thank them!
Love to see people taking up their ancestral cultures and religions before colonization
Iv recently got really into Norce Paganism, Because of the connections to the natural world and very interesting stories.
Thanks to this video I can see that the religion is still going strong
Heya Jacob!! Met you at Red Rocks at Heilung, doubt you'd remember but I had the red fractal jacket on when the line was still pretty small. Hope all is well with you!
I just wanted to comment not particulary on this video but to the fact that Ocean Keltoi and others are bashing you with their own proganda on their youtube channels. I do not agree with them and have always found your videos insightful, and filled with a deep passion for learning and growing yourself awa others of the faith. I feel like you talk about the faith in an uncomplicated way that makes it very easy for new followers and those who have been in this faith for awhile to connect not only on a basic level throughout everyday life but on a spiritual level. I would keep up the good work. I really enjoy youre videos although yes sometimes the audio can get a bit unhearable when you are outside😅 We as a community are here and listening. Unill the Hall, Skol.
Finally, a good Norse channel on UA-cam.
My favorite thing to do is, Go out to the woods and hike and talk to the gods and the spirits in nature. I often go for an overnight camp by myself and when i am sitting by a fire cooking my food i like to thank the gods and its a very raw and intense energy.
If i fight i dont feel pain im not scared to die or get hur my favorite god is magni he gives me strenght
Am thinking of believing in the old ways
Thank you for this channel! I am a young teenager looking to practice this faith and your I've been watching your videos for two weeks or so. I was wondering however, I do wish to build a relationship with, and give an offering to Freyja. Is there any advice or pointers you could give me to make it smoother for a person my age?
I’m a reformed catholic. The show Vikings got me interesting in Norse mythology and paganism. I read all the books and am constantly doin research. I give an offering in my backyard here and there, based on life is going. I cannot stress enough how many times I saw 2 crows land near me(I know Odin had ravens but it’s still strong symbolism), or have felt their presence in nature. I’ve had so many experiences with the gods in such a short amount of time. This isn’t like Christianity where you beg for things. It’s a simple relationship, hope everyone can experience this
You don’t beg for things as a Christian lol.
Tack så mycket!
All good stuff! :)
Skal brother may lord Odin and lord Thor bless and keep you safe brother skal all hail lord Odin and all lord Thor love and respect from a very proud Norse from Dublin Ireland I am a very proud heathen
There’s only one way to heaven and that’s through your savior Jesus Christ ! I’ll pray for you all
Doubt you actually will pray for us 😂 now fuck off
Odin sends ppl to heaven now wtf. Valheim
what part of the eddas talks about offerings? sounds wiccan to me.
I have a big question that I feel I could google, but I’d like a trusted source with it lol
hey thank you for this vedio my qusteion is how you do you sacrifice like in the vikings series.
As someone who is half mezriso and half native American I totally get it. What you call Odin is yeyehunactecame or creator spirit. One of these days I will make it to Norway
Seeing the comments I see I'm not the only one that believes in the old ways. My goal and dream is to become a footballer (not the American one) and I will grow and bring back the old ways to make people aware of the Gods and not false ones. Skål.
So basically you pray the same way that Christians pray except you give an offering.
Could you do a video on honoring Fenrir? I feel a strong connection to the great wolf and I want honor him the right way
I started this journey and I follow freya well she chose me. I ask her for help when I need and I talk to her when I can. The only thing I suck at doing is giving her a offering but I also rent my house and I feel odd doing that when my landlord is my neighbor
We were created in the Image of God . We are all supposed to be sons and daughters of the Creator. Our state of mind can bring us to deeper connections with the spirit of the creator.
We must be open to spiritual and conscious awakening. Desire it very much💯
Another awesome video as always I offer The Gods and Goddesses Freshly Squeezed Lemon juice and Green Tea some Times with Cinnamon and They seam to really enjoy it I wasn't sure at first but I got Very good results I also pour Healing Energy Into the Tea and Ask it to Heal and Replenish Them if they need it I sometimes give them fruit cider to they seam to Really enjoy that to :) Keep up the Good work love your videos
Nothing wrong with hipsters wanting to be Norse, it's pretty inclusive. Don't impress your outlook on the ideology though. You either submit to the basic concepts and definitions there in, or you just adopt some cool principles you like and create your own interpretation, aka faith. Nothing wrong with that, but you don't get into Valhalla by clicking into a 9-5 at your tech job/ UA-cam channel and holding an axe after a coronary. The battle slain earned their place at the table as WARRIORS not merchants or tradesman. There's a difference and dozens more halls for them to go to so they don't have to fight the battle eternal.
This faith is true magical and I love everything about it. However I need to know I think I will join the millitary and would I still be able to honor the gods out at camp or were ever i go?
I love Odin and Indra ❤
Jacob: the biggest misconceptions created by the Vikings TV show
Also Jacob: the Viking religion today
Almost like I was preparing for a certain show to release today!
@@TheWisdomOfOdin I know right?! Almost!
Valheim and heaven should collide
I personally think people need to quit referring to the northern peoples religions as “Viking”. Vikings were pirates and exporters and and maybe at best an occupation but that doesn’t always mean they were deeply religious or even ancestraly northern people as many other ethnic groups took part in joining the Heathens. Dna records are also showing that northern people “mingled” with whatever people were on the routes they explored occasionally bringing home people from other lands to join them (some by choice others by force of course). I cringe whenever I hear someone say they have Viking ancestry. Can you really prove that? Of course not! Same thing as those claiming to have gladiator ancestry😂. Your ancestry is from people in that region… Great vid though on religious practices.
My ancestors are Norse vikings and I wanted to learn Abt it
Not a member but have great respect for all Norse pagans
Do people actually legit believe in Norse gods and culture again? Not saying to mock or disrespect anyone I’m just curious
Yes, many, even people from Australia.
My family is viking we are from Sweden my great uncle is Eric the red
You can grow in relationships with any god of any religion in that way. The gods are nothing more than demonic spirits. You have to work your way to false paradises in all religions that are false. There is only one that is a free gift and Jesus Christ paid for your sins just accept his payment.
bro if this makes him happy let him be.
@@LEGEND3561i agree with you bro. Let him be happy
Have you even done ùtiseta meditation and if so how did you feel.
Hail All Father!
As a Muslim watching this,my mum standing by my door and watching me watch this.😂😂😂I never notice.i looked at her and I'm like "I know what u thinking but carm down.I'm just want to learn about it."😂
I’m having trouble learning my runes. Anyway to help?
I have been in this for 6 years and I just got into rune work I think you just have a mystical unveiling or some sort of experience at least for me you can carve them or buy them from Amazon also Northwood kindred is good channel
Book suggestion : The Runes by Horik Svensson
Lost Teachings of the Runes: Northern Mysteries and the Wheel of Life is a good one
The head pagan of Iceland claims Norse is relation to Hindu. I've seen what the claim is. Really, it is just incorporating a goddess. Different Than monotheistic concepts. In pagan, we can mix and match, tale what you need leave what you don't. I gather religion was matriarchal, honoring mother earth years prior to, just honoring the earth is being real.
lol he started off by talking about, oh you got here from watching tv show or something like that…if you got to your faith via Xbox game or tv show you sir are a quack
You mean norse religion viking was a job title
That is why there are quotation marks in the thumbnail.
Have you ever heard about the Sonar blot?
That sounds as a sacrifice to the Norse gods.
How do I start in 13
Why do you not answer dms?
thank you for this video, i mean...ive talked to the norse gods before...just randomly cause it felt right...but until now i didnt know it was an actual way of honoring them and getting close to them by tradition or whatnot. and i already have the poetic edda cause odin was with me when i went to get it and my card got declined...so ill have to thank him for that. also, i would LOVE to learn more about loki, i have watched your videos on him but i still wanna know more.
I thought the old ways were dead
Bunch a quacks
Skål💀🍻
both those books are the European muck's veiw
i think its suprising that people stil belive this i thought this reigion died with the vikings
Well, you drinking in the video turned it not suited for young audiences. Well, not like it's going to change anything, hahaha.
Not honestly, I think this video has the potential to help a lot of people who are just now coming to the faith or have been following for just a little bit so thank you, Jacob, for your content and for making this useful video.
Did it actually get flagged for me taking a sip of bourbon!? lol
@@TheWisdomOfOdin not at all! I was just making a joke out of that.
Don't call it a faith. Theres no faith in Norse religion
Stop calling it the viking religion. It existed way before people went viking.
This is there religion and this is there god Oden Lilith and Thor and Loki
2.11 minutes into your video I was convinced you are not someone I should be listening too. Why? The word heathen, was given to people that didn't believe, or practice Abrahamic beliefs. So you identifying people that believe in the old gods in that manner.....🤦🏽♂️. I wish you nothing but the best.
I recommend you check you my video discussing this topic. It called "Is Pagan a Bad Word" I think you might enjoy it.
Im
May Allah help all u people u think the world u live in is a comic
I am Scandinavian I would rather believe in odin than your disgusting religion! The Norse faith is my roots! I dont want anything to do with allah! My lord is Odin so shut up
The norse belief isnt more comic than your made up religion too then! If you can insult norse beliefs then I can insult yours as well
You’re offering gifts and speaking with demons.
Why did you watch the video then?
Ok yea no I’m just tryna get into this, I watched the whole vid. Very detailed and very persuasive but his frickin hair distracted me more than a Latina with tig bitties in high school
Yes we get baptized via Bloodeagle. Odin brings us back to life in Valhalla, only after we drink from Space Cow in the center of the universe. And that’s it we are all now Vikings
Fairytale 😆
no
@@matiue7845 🤣 haha no wat ?
