    Dumézil, Georges. "Le dieu Scandinave Vidarr". In: Revue de l'histoire des religions
    In Norse mythology, Víðarr is a god among the Æsir associated with vengeance. Víðarr is described as the son of Odin and the jötunn Gríðr and is foretold to avenge his father's death by killing the wolf Fenrir at Ragnarök, a conflict he is described as surviving. Víðarr is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, and is interpreted as depicted with Fenrir on the Gosforth Cross. A number of theories surround the figure, including theories around potential ritual silence and a Proto-Indo-European basis.

    Vidar is my favorite norse god and the one I find connecting with the most. While I might not be silent like him, I have always had a boundless appreciation for the deep forest and the imperishability of nature, for the spirit of nature will always overcome given enough time. To me, he represents the healthy side of revenge, as in justice. As well as the rebirth and growth of new life in the universe. His spirit is the only true immortal thing that will always exist. As for his mother Gridr, I have read that her name roughly translates to “matter”, so mind(odin) and matter(gridr) mated and created Vidar. I’ll definitely try practicing leaving leather scraps in the soil sometime, sounds interesting and beneficial.

      Fenrir for me symbolizes the inevitable undoing of greed. The lengths people are willing to go through to obtain or hold on to there power. Like Odin did by taking hel, jormungandr and fenrir from there mother because of a prophecy. The immoral decision to benefit one’s self gains. The people hurt along the way. The people used or exploited for one’s self gain. That is fenrir, the undoing of odins greed and selfishness, representing the inevitable undoing of people who think with only greed and self gain.

    Maybe Fenrir is the ego, that wants more and more and more (his hunger). When the ego controls you, you don't fight for others, just for yourself, you don't live in the present, and that kills you from inside. Odin (Wisdom) can't do something about it, because the ego, has to be controlled by the person. But that spiritual energy (the force that when you live in the present because in the forest most animals live like that) from the forest (Vidar) is the complete opposite of the ego (that wants more for the future). (Or by Ragnarok) : If everyone wold have helped each other, during the long cold winter, Ragnarok would not happen.
    Well, that's my interpretation of them

    Just one thing I will mention that may be used to unlock some theory or notion. I never actually understood what my professor was talking about but on my first day in Astronomy, my teacher started talking about how we can use what we know about forests to prove that the universe has no end. This idea was something to the effect of if we stand in the woods we cannot see an end, although there is space between the trees where we stand and a meadow beyond every direction we look we see a tree... but, we are not blinded by bright star light when we look at the sky... I still do not actually understand it, but it came to mind regarding viđur and a forest and the cosmos.. yeah, and stuff.

  • @bjenns_skog
    @bjenns_skog Рік тому +2

    This is a very well thought out and presented talk on this topic. Thank you!
    Here are a few other thoughts:
    In the comments, people are making connections between Ragnarök and the end of various cycles. I suspect that all of these connections are appropriate in some sense, but in the fullest sense, Ragnarök is a much larger catastrophe. There are many smaller cycles that end with destruction and rebirth - certainly when Winter comes in the North and kills off the growing season, that is the end of a cycle. Winter imperiled our ancestors. They took shelter, and worked together until they could (hopefully) emerge into the new, pure light of the next year. The lifecycle of an individual leads inexorably to its own Ragnarök, where our own strength fades, and if we have lived correctly, we will have prepared our successors to move forward with the work of creating order and goodness out of chaos. The death of a culture is also a Ragnarök, and certainly the culture of the North suffered a huge amount of damage at the time of the forced conversions. We wouldn't be having this conversation, trying to make sense of the little that we know about Víðarr, otherwise.
    But, all this being said, I agree with what our lad is alluding to about the larger cycle of catastrophes that the Earth experiences. After/during the last Ice Age, Auðumbla kept us alive by being able to produce protein and fats for us out of limited resources. We can't eat grass and scrub, and cows can, and of course we can salt or smoke the meat to get us through Winter. Odin, Vili and Ve brought the survivors out of the forest, and (re)taught us how to live, both spiritually and materially. There have been several of these cycles on earth, and modern humans have experienced them for at least 175,000 years, and maybe longer.
    Víðarr is the pivot, the transitional figure, from one cycle to the next. Týr bind Fenris at the peak of the cycle, which is appropriate, because Fenris isn't at his peak yet, and that part of the cycle is best ordered by wise talk, noble interactions, decisive action, and self-sacrifice for the greater good. Odin, as the deep spiritual consciousness of the age, works to prolong the age as long as possible, putting plans into action and inspiring champions. In the end, he has to face Chaos alone. I think that it is notable that Víðarr, the god coming into his prime, is not able to kill Fenris on his own. If he could have, he would have fought Fenris first, but he cannot, so Odin starts the job, and Víðarr finishes it. One would assume that Odin still has some tricks up his sleeve, and by the time that Víðarr takes over the fight, the Wolf has been weakened by several serious injuries.
    I like the idea of Víðarr being associated with the wide brushlands, as opposed to either the settled farmland or the deep, old forest. The brushlands are a liminal space, and a place of growth and vitality. They are in the process of becoming the next great forest, in many cases. The brushlands are also a great source of sustanance in ways that neither farmland or mature forest can be. I cut a lot of firewood by hand, and try to use my chainsaw as little as possible, so I keep a large part of my woodlot in a constant state of transition. It is nearly impossible to cut down 150 - 200 year old hardwood trees with hand tools. One is much better off coppicing trees, and cutting them when they are 25 to 30 cm at their widest point. Then, once can quickly cut them into logs, split the logs from the bottom half of the tree into two halves, and burn the logs from the upper part of the tree as rounds. I think that this is how our ancestors cut firewood. They were not dropping the biggest trees in the forest and trying to cut them up. That would be wildly inefficient and difficult. So their heating and cooking was dependent on the trees from the areas at the edge of the deeper forest, and of course these areas are where the berries and birds are found too.
    In terms of silence, there is a martial quality to Víðarr's intense focus. There is also no need to waste energy on talk at the point when he is needed - the time for talk is over. Furthermore, Víðarr's age doesn't start until Fenris is dead and Surtr burns the Earth. His age hasn't spoken yet.
    Odin is most likely the Víðarr of the previous age, and then Víðarr becomes the Alföðr of the next age. The next age will be different, just as the son and daughter are different from their parents, but if we can learn and enact the lessons of Odin and Víðarr now, hopefully we will be able to put forth the best of this age into whatever comes next. I do not say this lightly, either, since the Wolf is clearly loose in the land, now, and hungry.

    The sound of the name Vidarr reminded me of the word aether. I know there is no etymological connection, but as far as a concept that fits both a space and a source of energy that was widely held by numerous cultures there is at least some connection.
    Also I was wondering, could there be a link between Vidarr and Yggdrasil? In my head I think spirit of the forest and world tree could combine to be world spirit. But I don't think it correlates with what is written.

    My theory that I've had for a while had nothing to do with wood, I originally read that he was a forest god from Varg Vikernes but the "i" is stressed (í) in his name, making it means "wide" (víðr) and not "wood" (viðr) (not at all discounting this translation, this is just my thought process). To me, I saw the story of him wrenching Fenrir's jaw and stabbing through to his heart as symbolic of Víðarr fathering the reincarnation of his father (ancestor) Óðinn. This is indeed using the keys and interpretation method from Marie Cachet, that the wolf's jaws are the birth canal while Víðarr, the wide army, being the sperm cells in semen... bear with me here, this is just my theory. I know alot of people dislike Varg and Marie's method of interpretation but I have used it in many many places. Fenrir swallowing Óðinn is symbolic of the next ancestor in line to be reborn and Víðarr rending the wolf's jaws and stabbing its heart is a phallic symbol, he is fathering the reincarnation of his ancestor. This doesn't explain why he is silent at all, or the symbol of his shoe, but it's my theory thus far. Thanks for another great video!

    I think the meaning of Fenrir could have something to do with technological advancement. It grows and grows, eventually to the detriment of wisdom and passion (Odin). People rely more and more on technology and forget how to do things on their own. The more people rely on technology the more enslaved by it we are. So maybe Vidar represents the aspects of nature that we will all have to get back in touch with after Ragnarok to survive or the aspects of the world that will outlive or overcome the extreme technology.

    Vidar- to me seems more like the Green man- the Vegetation and wood that grows up after a potential horrible happening- mass extermination/pandemic. The forests grow- taking over the land scape- 20-30-100 years depending on next group to go through- then uses- Vidar that now grown strong from the ash’s of the dead- South America- Rainforests with massive ancient civilization now long gone- is in Vidar- now forest- cut down fuels again the next evolution of man kind. Vidar- the silent one- the echos of the past long gone under the foliage and canopy of massive forests.

    most leathers normal people get in there hands these days are full with additives i wouldn't want in the soil, so spare pieces are shite, imho.
    If one does not have drums or something like that, do you think it would be allright to procur a batch of leatherpieces or w/e specifically for this purpose?
    edit: i mean, it isn't the same, it isn't something that is part of something i use or have in my life, so it probably is lacking connection. but then again, i'm half sure vidarr wouldn't really care whether that one piece of his shoe has a connection to that random dude there or not, so it's probably ok.

    You mentioned in another video that wolves are associated with winter. I got a quite wild idea. Maybe when Vidar saves the whole cosmos from being swallowed by Fenrir, this might mean that he stops the effects of gobal warming, which, if the Golf stream turns around, might lead to colder winters in Scandinavia. Fenrir and the Fimbul winter might perhaps represent local effects of a climate change that generally leads to warmer climate. If Fenrir also represents greed, he might represent the causes of global warming. Fenrir is the son of Loki, and Loki stands for change. Change lead to the industrial revolution, which has both given many benefits, but also destruction of nature and global warming. Global warming is perhaps represented by Surt, the fire and heat coming from the south. The south is after all warmer than the north. Vidar might represent the Amazon forest and other forests that are so important to stop the destruction of nature and the ozon layer.

    If Odin represents part of our spirit, Vidar had something to do with wood, and the wolf could mean death, during ragnarok we know that 2 humans who where made from tree trunks are saved by Yggdrasil. So maybe Odin will be reincarnated through humans after Ragnarok? 😅

    In old Dutch there are to wood names, wijderaad (wide-advice/council) and wijdraad (us-wire).
    A quick theory: a escape/emancipation from the effects of Satan, (Islam has some comments on that but i personally think this go's much further ua-cam.com/video/TYtNezQU61w/v-deo.html) Odin (the names of his ravens) or/and Kamadeva?
    It's about obtaining the third eye/the eagle whit the hawk between his eye's?
    About personal growth?
    Also, a 'palace of leaves' a hedgehog hibernates in a pile of leaves and those spines can very well end up in a canines mouth in a confrontation i think they can creep through tissue and maybe even the heart.

It would be like smacking a cement wall as hard as you can, you know you hit it as hard you could, but you also know you havent felt how how hard it could hit in return. After he showed me a mear smidge of his strength in a handshake alone. Just drove off into the sky in a old shiny convertible white Cadillac.
