Hey man, I went to highschool with you and your brother! I've always found your IG content so interesting and I hope this channel kicks off well for you! Keep it up man! 🤘🤘
I’ve just subscribed, and you’re offering a very scholarly but simple interpretation of these topics. As a visual learner this is amazing. Thank you! Keep the videos coming, dude.
Very good video. I'm currently reading Kris Kershaw's "The One-eyed God: Odin and the (Indo-) Germanic Männerbünde" (in German). Your video gives a good overview of / introduction to the topic.
I watch this thinking how I could exclude myself near wolfs and bears for a winter,in hope of becoming the first modern Ulfhednar, by Woden it must be someones Destiny
@@thefyrdsman9590 Well, i have many questions for sure but my knowledge is so little about this topic that I don't know how to phrase my questions yet. Moreover, because of the same reason, I don't know if they are relevant haha. So, may you find the next topic for now and I will learn and see if that clears my mind ! 😃
Well done Cyneulf on doing this through source analysis! I think your channel is going to be really unique in its presentation of the facts, high brow shit! luv it!. also this must have taken a hell of a lot of editing! Really fantastic job! All the best - Martin
The process of creating an ulfhednar contains all the elements of how indigenous tribal shamans are made. Have run into Viking historians who say the berserkers and ulfhednar were a type of shaman.
Amazing work! Thank you for making this.id definitely like to see more videos about the wolf cults, and mannerbunde, this video was very concise and direct. It helped me learn a few words that I had been seeing, during my research ulfhednar (spelling), and gave me some great takeaways on how this all worked back in those times. Subscribed and liked. Thanks for making it so easy to understand. Also would you care to share the song in the end?
Thank you for sharing this - finally a video which is not full of nonsense and those misrepresentations we see everywhere these days. For those interested in proper research: You might wanna check out Arith Härger's work, too.
Woah, this is saturated with information. I would love to hear a part 2 I'm curious, I may have missed it but you mentioned that by Snorri's time the idea of Ragnarok was relatively new, do you have source material or reference that goes over this?
Hey Bjorn! Thank you for your comment, and I'm glad you asked for clarification. I'll make sure to cover this in a later video! When I refer to Ragnarok as relatively new, I should've clarified that I meant in terms of my comparison with the concept of the Einherjar. Whilst we see numerous references to the Einherjar in the pagan periods of Viking history - whereas our main source for Ragnarok is in the poem Voluspa, which was written at the height of Christian efforts to convert Iceland. There is a growing argument that places Ragnarok as a relatively late story, inspired by Christian tradition, but whether or not this is true or was actually a 'new' idea is certainly up for debate. It's something that's definitely worth a deeper look at though, and I plan to cover it in a future video!
@@thefyrdsman9590 Not really wrong though. Snorri took out from verbal poems and more. Second one who dreams the gods cannot be making things up like on Loki, as I did. Odin with spear ain't something from the Christians. He had no reason to change. Besides got even attacked by his own after such books as heretic. Cycles aren't new. This ain't much christian thing.
In German, the word Volk = folk/people. In Russian, Volk = wolf. Could it be the Russians had grown skeptical of the German “Volks” after encountering these wolf warriors?
I would very much like to learn about the differences in different tribes! I Always found it an interesting rite of passage that today can be similar to joining the military.
Well done! Two big avenues of broader Wolf Cult research that I’m sure you’re aware of but I’ll plug anyway for others; Apollo the Wolf God The research being done at Krasnosamarskoe This is a very old Aryan Tradition indeed
Great video and read the book too :) Inwould ve interested on your view considering the story of Tyr/Fenrir and its connection to 1. the Männerbünde and 2. Tyr being the original inpersonation of the primary deity :)
Hey! Loved this video. Have you read 'the hanged god: odin grimnir' and 'Wolfs-Head: Óðinn, The Ecstatic God of Tethers and Skin-Turning.' two books by the same author, Shani Oates. She touches a lot on the Odinnic wolf cults, berserkirs, Úlfhéðnar, the cult of odin etc. Something you might be interested in reading. She is by far my most favourite author when it comes to academic and factual research as well as spiritual.
13:06 ... of europe with the "Theatros" of the indian god Rudra.... im just reading the subtitles, its been writen right (Theatros) ? or how do you write it? i want to search about it. thanks in advance! you helped me a lot with the information, hope to see more videos about the wolf cult!
I don't understand why the helmeted figure would be Woden. Those aren't horns; they're ducks. The helmet has duck wings. There's a duck motif on the Sutton Hoo helmet as well; it's wings are the warrior's brows and the tail is his moustache. Also, the figure is weilding two spears, both of which look to be of a piece, as opposed to the wolf-headed character whose spear is fully detailed. My guess is that these are performers in some kind of dance, and unless Woden has some assocication with ducks or geese (which he well might; I have no idea) that that figure is a performer unrelated to Woden. Also, in other images, the figure is duplicated, as if there are more dancers present.
We have an ancient tradition called "Kukeri" in Bulgaria, I believe it may have simillar roots to Mannabunde or "the wild hunt"". The celebration involves young men dressing in intimidating costumes made of animal fur, masks, horns and special bells on their waist to scare off evil spirits.
11:17 in Galicia (northwest of the Iberian península), the Hunt is also called "Hoste Antiga", the Ancient Host. So, again, a reference to an army of the dead. In the Vth century the pagan Suebi conquered and settled in this province, so who knows... Waiting for more!
Very interesting video. My only criticism is that the phrase "in spite of all evidence to the contrary" regarding belief in the existence of the spirit beyond death implies a materialistic bias that suggests that there actually is evidence to the contrary, which there is not. It's a physically untestable hypothesis with plenty of phenomenological evidence.
so your telling me a warrior culture, had 4 spec-ops division and each division had a beret like animal skin they wear to show which division they represent? how is that hard to believe??
This believe that a warrior will forever live on was encountered in Dacian armies as well (based on the scarce Greek sources we have). Those sources claim that Dacian warriors believed themselves ro be immortal, which explains their ferocity in battle. A tragedy that not much is known about the Dacians. I feel a great part of Indo-European culture and worldview is lost
Jarl Eirikr Hakonarson outlawed Berserkers in Norway the year 1015 not 1215. But the berserkers were used in battles 1066 and probably longer, paganism existed well in to 13th century in Sweden.
Harlekin The king of the men with long hair Haarleking (Hair king) He was the leader of young man leaving the village, the house, the family to get a real strong man and a warrior. They went into the woods and learned to hunt, to live like a ulfhednar or a berserkir in the woods and to get their strength. The young man with long hair was a sign that they were in education, in training to get a strong, wild man, a warrior. It was a alliance of young man to get strong warriors. It was pagan. Heathenish. It was theme in a Robin Hood film from 2010 with Russell Crowe as Robin Hood. But there was a good book too.
Hmm. I've got an idea. Maybe someone should point their paleoanthropological eyes to modern 1% motorcycle clubs. What was described in the video looks to have a striking number of similarities in structure to them.
Great video. More on the Wolf Cult would be much appreciated.
Hey man, I went to highschool with you and your brother! I've always found your IG content so interesting and I hope this channel kicks off well for you! Keep it up man! 🤘🤘
Thanks Josie! I do remember you, think you were in my brother's year? Hope you are doing well and keeping safe.

😊 just discovered your channel AND youve sold me with your infectious enthusiasm new sub here x
When you mentioned The Wild Hunt, I immediately thought of The Witcher.
Keep em coming!!
Great looking back.
In German, the word Volk = folk/people. In Russian, Volk = wolf. Could it be the Russians had grown skeptical of the German “Volks” after encountering these wolf warriors?
Not really. Russians are also indo-European. They had their own wolf rites
This was interesting, I’d def use this channel to get more knowledge.
😁👍
This is a very good video, I very much hope to see this channel grow.
I would very much like to learn about the differences in different tribes! I Always found it an interesting rite of passage that today can be similar to joining the military.
Strong video, subscribed. Cheers from old Frisia, Haarlem.
More please good sir
Well done! Two big avenues of broader Wolf Cult research that I’m sure you’re aware of but I’ll plug anyway for others;
Apollo the Wolf God
The research being done at Krasnosamarskoe
This is a very old Aryan Tradition indeed
Our family crest is the wolf head. Great video. Thanks for your work you put in your video’s.
Congratulations! Nice work! Looking foward for more videos like this! :)
Interesting stuff dude! 😄
Thank you! Hope you're doing well man.
Great video and read the book too :) Inwould ve interested on your view considering the story of Tyr/Fenrir and its connection to 1. the Männerbünde and 2. Tyr being the original inpersonation of the primary deity :)
Outstanding!! Very good info.
Wow!!! Please make a part 2!
Fantastic video, very interesting, cheers.
Fantastic video and content. Looking forward to more info and history on wolf cults etc.

I haven't, actually, but thank you so much for the recommendation! I'll have a hunt for them now.
Fascinating! Would love to see your bibliography and follow up video!
Fantastic video. Can’t wait for more. Still weird to think you used to serve me in Rock’it lmao
I'm an occultist and would love to hear more about the wolf cults and any other alpha apex predator like cults from all cultures
13:06 ... of europe with the "Theatros" of the indian god Rudra....
im just reading the subtitles, its been writen right (Theatros) ? or how do you write it? i want to search about it.
thanks in advance! you helped me a lot with the information, hope to see more videos about the wolf cult!
More, please.
Do you have any plans on doing a video about the "Jöfurr" or swine-headed cultic warriors of the Saxons?
I don't understand why the helmeted figure would be Woden. Those aren't horns; they're ducks. The helmet has duck wings. There's a duck motif on the Sutton Hoo helmet as well; it's wings are the warrior's brows and the tail is his moustache.

All from Dacia
really great work! Are you sure that's Odin on the metal plate? He seems to have both his eyes Still loved this man!
Now some clues in Sig and Guddrun as the Danish Kong let his father read books very few have seen ..

Good shit
I've always studied wolf/werewolf legend

Great info! Keep it up!!!! Question - Are the modern "Dutch" of Scandinavian/Viking heritage? I guess I can google huh?
My people are still the greatest. To all Norse, Skal!!!
Dog? Thought it was Wolf, Bear, or Wild Boar?
Very interesting video. My only criticism is that the phrase "in spite of all evidence to the contrary" regarding belief in the existence of the spirit beyond death implies a materialistic bias that suggests that there actually is evidence to the contrary, which there is not.

And Oden live where ? Around ?

It's not, i'm working on it
Great video. But I've always seen the "horned" helmet, not as horns, they look like ravens, hence Woden.

Caused the great darkness lasting for 1000's of years .... with small golden ages now and then.
And they become wild in context to the east most of all the great fall of the sons of men
