Old Norse language phrase,” A Gnawer of the Moon, a giant of the Gale Blasts, a curse of the rain-hall, a Companion of sibyl, a Night-roaming hag, and a Swallower of the loaf of Heaven,”. What does this Old Norse phrase mean in simple terms?
What does this mean in Old Norse,”moon of Hrungnir, wealth sucker of the giants, destroyer of the storm sun, companion of the seeress, and swallower of the sun,”. What does this mean? Is there a meaning to this? What does this mean in simple terms?
@taylorfusher2997 this is a code using the 'qualities' of the events or 'event makers' (Ragnar). It is something that you must come to understand beyond words
A clue is in the Skaldesmal attached to Sturlesons 'Edda' where poetic reference is used to demonstrate what power or quality a person or force is using in a situation. Other phrases, such as 'the Mead of Poetry' hint at the psychological effect had by the turning of a phrase, for instance. The Welsh Fili Taleisin wrote of this and the importance of meter in giving a statement proper meaning. Refer to Norse Animism by Dr. RUNE HROLF RASMUSSEN in his video about singing the Voluspa with a Swedish folksinger. There is a lot that goes into weaving proper knowledge into the folk poetry. The Edda by ' Everymans Books' is a good source. Chuisse.

This does not answer my question. So you mean that the word troll means animism? I asked what the phrase,” Gnawer of the moon, giant of the gale-blasts, curse of the rain-hall, companion of Sibyl, night-roaming hag, and swallower of the loaf of heaven,”. What does this mean in simple terms? This goes for other form of the phrase?

@taylorfusher2997 what can gnaw at the moon? What thing accompanies the Sibyl (perhaps a tool of siedr). What forces may roam at night? This is a riddle you are being asked. I answered your question and gave you resources for you to find the answer to how to solve Norse riddles. You must develope the capability for yourself, for the answer lies within your comprehension of the structure of our concious universe
Animism has nothing in particular to do with creatures, other then creatures are assembled of smaller parts operating as a whole and employing the qualities they have to interact with the world around them. Variety of qualities, amount of contact. Look up the Japanese belief system, Shinto, all things that are a synergy have a spirit. This deals with groups of things that are psychologically acting as a collective also. Until you can envision the world around you in this format, you will not be able to comprehend what is mentioned by the riddles of the Voluspa and such, how things relate and interact with each other. Refer to the sources I offered, learn to develope the mental picture of qualities making contact with each other, don't think about Trolls as being funny little men, but rather their abilities and how they are using them to effect in a situation, you will find it is more times giving a character the action of a Troll rather than being the funny little man himself. Get the Edda with the Skaldesmal (language of the Skalds) and get this picture in your mind of how to read them. The Rune, discovered by Odin, was intended to be cast to display the relationship of things at the present moment, not as an Alphabet (Fugarth, in this case), but each has a sound value, so it loans to that (view that as one of its qualities). To tell of the future? We may suppose when we read them, but keep in mind, everything has a little Loki in them! Wind in your sails, friend!

I love all this the old ways are getting strong again.keep on rocking bonnie lad 🇬🇧👍👍♥️
Norse mythology has always been so fascinating to me. Learning about the actual history and beliefs as well has inspired me to write an entire series of books featuring these topics. The first is already done and I'm already working on the second. Really good work with these videos, digging into meanings and practices.

The 3 trenches in the ground…. Many Neolithic sites are located in valleys that have such a 3 trench design by nature. Possible tie to this tradition?
Ty for continuing your amazing videos my friend. I can never get enough of them … I hope life is treating you very well 😎 ✌️ ❤️

@taylorfusher2997 I'll try again this is a riddle, each phrase denotes the quality had by the object of reference and a clue to action, not the objects themselves
Who is Hrugnir, and what would he have to do with the moon, is it a season? Look up Norse lunar calender for reference. And,what would accompany a Sybl, a tool of Seide, like a Blackthorn Wand, or an animal. By the way, animism is the realization that all things are synergistical, made up of smaller parts till they can function as a whole, and are not only animals, but all creatures, even on the psychological scale. Look up Japanese Shinto, or the idea of the Manitou to a first American. A Troll also is as a Troll does. So sometimes an innate quality is referred to by association. These are the riddles of the Voluspa, Everyman Books Edda has the key, the skaldesmal (language of the Skalds) to understand this better. Wind to your sails.
Striped down ..

I don't fallow eyes but i was told that i have a seers eyes or a witches eyes.
You have resting witch face? 🧙♀️ 😜
Funny when you say as late as the 1800s because of whole pagan revival in all its various forms, people are definitely still doing a version of these burial ground practices today. I myself do a version of this at my great grandparents grave when it feels appropriate, it’s a very different practice inspired by all of the various practices I’ve encountered and intuitively doing what feels appropriate, but basically to achieve the same goal.
Thanks for this discussion! Walking counterclockwise around a grave or burial mound is still known amongst some rural populations in the United States, at least some southern regions. I'm not sure if all know the exact origins, but I had heard of this folk practice as a child.
Make a discord for all your viewers
Excellent. Thank you.
Thanks for the video ⚔️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Great as always!
There were not any scrying/reflection divinations?
Great info. I really like your book recommendations.
Similar to the crossroads and the mirror showing you the face of the person you were going to marry, the day my grandparents met, my grandfather told my grandmother that he had seen her face in the well, and that meant she was going to be his wife. I wondered if this might also fit into Scandinavian culture? I haven’t heard of it anywhere else, but it seems too specific for him to have just made it up on the spot.
When Tom met me, he said, “She does exist.” He had the image of me in his dreams for years.
Thank you.

Having prophetic dreams is a curse as much as a blessing, after all, how do you know which dreams are prophetic and which ones just represent your anxieties and fears? You are left after dreams wondering if it is something that will come to pass or not, whether something you dreamt was a vision of the past or future or just a dream.
Finally someone gave good concise sources that the Runes that most cringe Pagans use today have basically no historical references.
Apparently, you are not familiar with the story of Odin becoming Ragnar.

I wonder what I am? I dont use anything, it just.. happens to me. I text myself, to have a record of what I dream, hear, see, and experience things. I hide it, because life is easier for me that way, but at the same time Im not living.
Dude everything I was interested in is out of stock.
Can you do video on Native American and Nordic religion connection . Because I was listening to this video and they were telling the Native American myths compared to the Viking myths and they’re almost the same stories. Idk if it’s real tho, it’ll be cool to see if you can put your research against it or for it (copied this off a comment I made on another video)
I want to ask if someone would like to help me interpret my dreams, it concerns joining the military.
First a bit of info beforehand: yesterday i talked to a colleague, both of us stating the discontent about our current job. I mentioned joining the military.
When i walk my dog, i like to give some treats to my local crows, not only for my beliefs but also that they are fascinating. In addition, when my grandpa died and i went to my first day at work there was a swarm of crows and jackdaws cawing when i passed and never again like that, certainly not at the same location.
Concerning my dreams:
By 'coincidence' tonight i had 2 dreams and i think it was in this order as i explain. (I think there was a 3rd one which i don't remember)
I dreamt the same setting as i worked and the same colleague, and that he said i couldn't do it in the dream.
Following a dream of 2 crows i was feeding. One of them took out of my hand in flight and then wanted to sit on my arm to eat and i had pet the crow. Which in real life they come close but are not into touching.
Is this something to be interpreted or not? In my own opinion i fear i would not be accepted in the military for not meeting conditions, but i am steadfast on applying and i am training for it.
Wait a minute, I was told by many people (sjw's) Vikings didn't have locs.
