Bingo, and as they are paradigm shift it is a collective and individual psyche shift, since as above so below, a shift in the external is also a shift in the internal.
I've been thinking a lot about Ragnarök lately. Personally, I see Ragnarök on multiple levels of analysis. With that I mean that it happens on a global scale, as well as an individual scale and everything in between. You already mentioned the global events that are happening right now, which I agree with look like end times. The old world will die and burn, then a new one will be reborn from the ashes like the phoenix from Greek mythology. On the individual scale, you will also constantly encounter Ragnarök. You are guaranteed to reach points in your life where you have to burn yourself down, or at least a little bit, to continue life. Simply to adapt to changes in your environment. I also think it is interesting that Yggdrasil seems to survive Ragnarök. To me, it symbolizes the part of yourself that remains the same across all these transformations, in other words the identity (this can be the identity of anything, from person, to family, to society etc.). Some of Yggdrasil's dead parts might be burned off, but that just makes room for new parts. For example, imagine you're an alcoholic and you manage to stop drinking. What will happen? First of all, things are not going to get better, they are going to get worse. Things are going to get *much* worse, potentially fatal. However, if you make it through that part, things do get better. That's a point of personal Ragnarök, the death of alcoholic you, and rebirth of healthier you. It's still you, your Yggdrasil is still intact. You've just burned off the parts made you weak.
You put it very well. Individuals go through this sort of thing all the time, but in dribs and drabs, and they are usually oppressed by the world, which denies their right to awaken to greater spiritual insight. Often just locking them up and drugging them. At the moment, the conditions are right to push an awful lot of people at once to go through that kind of catharsis, so that it starts to become noticeable at a cultural level. Then the world cannot oppress it, because we become the world, and the ignorant close minded thinking of the past falls away, to be replaced with a more open and enquiring way of looking at the world. Less conflict, and more harmony and cooperation. Yggdrasil, the tree has parallels in other belief systems. It is the huluppu tree from Sumeria, and it is the tree of knowledge from Eden. The image helps it to be understood by primitive people, but the tree of life is the energy that runs through our nervous systems. Roots running down our legs, branches running through our arms. The dark maid Lilith makes her home in the trunk of the huluppu tree, where the enteric nervous plexus is, guiding through gut instinct; the serpent is at its base, the kundalini; the anzu bird makes its nest in the top of the tree, in the brain. The intention of awakening is to increase communication through the nervous system between brain and nervous plexuses, so that intuition and intellect work as one, and thus one eye looks upon the world of symbols, and one eye looks upon the world of men.
Jacob I have a very inquisitive 6 year old son. Him and I sat around the fire afew weeks ago and watched your epic space cow video. We followed that up with a great discussion. Tonight we did the same with this one and I wanted to thank you. He has taken alot of interest in this kind of stuff and it has brought us closer together as father and son. I can't thank you enough for these moments him and I have shared together. He did notice that you and I wear the same symbol around our necks so I think the cats out of the bag on where I stand. 😄 Hail the old ways brother! Skål!
When the subject of Ragnarok comes up, my first thought is always "which one?" Like you and other Norse Pagans, I do see it as primarily a cyclical event. All things have their time--and all things ends, and the conclusion of one era gives birth to the next. Pagans are uniquely qualified to be a beacon of hope these days. We understand the necessary turning of the Wheel and that all stages of being within a cycle serve a purpose and have to happen. Yes, there are hard lessons to be learned in the coming years--but those lessons will serve us well as we re-build society (hopefully more wisely!)
The quote from Gandalf made me tear up T__T I personally believe that Ragnarock comes with the rise and fall of civilisations, like you mentioned in the video. The interesting difference this time around is that we live in such a global world, that pretty much every corner of the world will be affected tremendously.
You have my brotherly love. I could take two hours typing out commentary on your body of work, yet I am not settled. In other words, I don’t have 100% alignment with your chosen (or divinely inspired) path. But that’s all on me, not anything you create and share. You are helping me sort a lot of feelings. I am certain shamanism colors my blood, but I don’t have any evidence of that lineage. It’s only the feelings I get that give me that certainty. Thus, I am feeling out the path like a blind man. I have sat through Marvel movies, Viking based series and movies, etc knowing they are all dramatized re-workings of mythos optimized to draw in viewers. This is where you get thanks for the reality checks that I want and need for guidance. The studios throw millions at projects and you bring your personal camera and just talk from your heart, tempered by the wisdom of your experience. Carry on Brother.
Couldn't agree more. I want to help establish communities like yours into more permanent physical establishments in the hopes they survive into the next cycle.
From someone who comes from a Catholic background, it’s interesting to hear how literally (or not) different religions view certain texts from their own lore. I’m learning about Norse Paganism due to my boyfriend being one. We enjoy peacefully discussing our differing beliefs and have found we have so much more in common than differences. I personally believe my apocalypse to be both describing a past event (the fall of Jerusalem and the reign of Nero) and a future event that will happen (the official end of the world), but described using heavy amounts of symbolism. It’s interesting to see that you take a similar approach to Ragnarok. I wonder if there are many who believe in the story from a literal pov? Or if people in the olden days were more likely to believe it literally, before science progressed 🤔
I always love hearing your theories on mythology. You have an interesting perspective. There's also the theory that at the end of each astrological age (period of 2160 years) there is some sort of calamity which ushers in the next age. Some people believe that we are nearing the end of the Age of Pisces and soon going to be transitioning to the Age of Aquarius. This could possibly have something to do with Ragnarok and the various apocalypse myths from other cultures.
Great discussion! There are definitely some correlations to historical events, the Earth has natural warming and cooling cycles (about every 300 to 350 years on average, Nova Science has a great older documentary on this) alongside other disaster events that influence the seasons and climate for periods of time alongside geopolitical/ civilization shifts that prompt wars and other major events and progressions. I agree, there is a Ragnarok underway currently-- the big question is to how long it will last, but it will come to an end and man and nature will again flourish once a balance is attained again. Hail the Aesir and Vanir, skal brother.
What if Ragnarok already happened? Perhaps in the form of Christianity? This basically whiped out paganism on a large scale. Short after that a huge plague covered Europe together with a small Ice Age.
@@noregrveidr8178 I very much doubt that ancient pagan peoples prayed and built magnificent temples and made idols and sacrifices to simple fables or energies
Yes, A lot of people do believe literally. And it terrifies them. I only listened to this program trusting you did not. You did not disappoint. Very intelligent point of view.
It may have possibly started I think in the next 5-10 years something very big and bad will happen all my other three predictions came true in 2020 just like I said they would so hopefully this time I'll be wrong
I believe that Ragnarok is "LITERAL". However! I do agree with you as well. What I mean is that I believe we ARE IN FACT on the front end of Ragnarok at this moment... Wars over resources, the C-19 causing brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, and families to turn on each other! They are doing this by refusing to commune with each other, and being paranoid of catching something that has been fed to them as "SCARY". This resources will continue to dwindle, until the war of wars FINALLY breaks out! We need to stay positive towards one another. And unite as strong as possible more so than ever before. Raven_Son. Sept. 09th 2022.
Ragnarok reminds me of illness and death. Illness can be very destructive, the body fights it, and sometimes it does not win. But with death comes new life.
Hey that was so great philosophical/ psychological/ historical/ mythical analysis that it made my night. Dr. Jung would be proud. I would just add one thing. If we agree that Ragnarok is happening now (that metaphorical/ our type of Ragnarok), those ways that you are talking about like how to behave with nature, folks, family etc. That is true metaphor for the warrior from Valhalla who is goint in to the battle on Ragnarok. Cheers my friend 🍺❤🇧🇦
I’m always thinking about Ragnarok, but I’ve wondered about something. What if creation, life of Urd, and Ragnarok, are all cyclical. Let me give a few examples: The flood of Noah, chaos and destruction of a mad and unfettered world. The World wars, wartime chaos destroys much of Europe, millions die in the conflict, not to mention Hiroshima, with the nuclear blast being quite similar to the sword of Surt. The Black Plauge, famine and plague ravage the world, almost decimating Europe. Sodom and Gomorrah, fire falls from the heavens on wicked cities, similar to the sons of muspell falling on the earth. The Ice Age, freezing cold, a world baptized in ice, The Jotuns These are just my theories, but it certainly makes me wonder
I hope what comes afterwards is better…. People are so mean an ugly now and pulled away from everyone else. Love your channel one day when I’m not broke I’ll be on your patreon 😢 ❤❤
Performed 'Ragnarok' as storytelling show in 2021 on alternative scene as saw the link with today. Oddly I had just performed it few years before in Brighton Fringe in 2018. So was my most recent show alongside the Creation Myth from the Eddas.
This may not be the Ragnarok of the Eddas but we are truly within this ages Ragnarok. Strike hard strike true by brothers, stand up and fight the oppression upon us from those set in place to lead us. Stay epic my friends!
Maybe; here in America at least. People need to go a few months with what’s going on in Italy, where they have to use candles. Have less use of electricity and especially smartphones/computers/tv, air conditioning. Retract from modern conveniences and just live. Yeah there’d be some issues(nothing much from what we’ve already been seeing) but get people to live without for a good 6+ months.
Very well explained Jacob. I would like to go on writing more here about all of what you said. But... it would be like writing a small book. Too much to write. Thank you Jacob. til Valhal!! Skal!
I Believe the myths represent the cycles. So it helps you understand the worlds and your place in them. So ragnarok has happend, and will happen again. So where are we in the cycle now? I believe we are in the death of Balder. Thats the myth that starts the buildup to ragnarok. I made a whole video about in on my channel ( the death of Balder) If i’m right, filmbulwinter is around the corner 🤐
I think not only is Ragnarok happening, but happening again. Our world is built on cycles, and if you look back in history, there are large times of unrest around every 100 years. We have current unrest, and around this time 100 yrs ago, we had both World Wars. I feel that Ragnarök isn't so much an Apocalypse as times of unrest and change
Ragnarök, the Kali Yūga, the end of the current age, it’s all happening. And it will only going to get worse in the short time, read the Eddas and Śrīmad Bhāgavatam
The Norse mythos does not stand alone as an isolate, but is part of a large tree of Indo-European mythologies and spiritualities, which as you point out, aren't to be taken *literally*, but are rather layers and layers of themes and symbolism. Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya has spoken about this, convinced that we are in the middle of the Kali Yuga, the darkest of ages. But after this darkest of ages, there will be a rebirth. The Norse mythos, when viewed through a Christian lense (as it was for much of the 19th and 20th centuries), saw Ragnarök as the same as the Christian rapture and "end of the world". The Indo-European spiritualities don't see an end of the world, but always just the end of a cycle, and birth of a new. In the Norse mythos, this new world following Ragnarök is called Gimle, and is ruled by Balder - love and light. I, too, am sure we're living in the end of a cycle, the Kali Yuga is a good term for it. Humanity is in a very poor spot now. Not looking back decades or even centuries, but thousands of years, humanity has slowly lost its grip and today, despite all our gadgets and comfortable lives, are dumber than we've been in a very long time - perhaps ever. We're clueless cattle, the vast majority helpless to save ourselves if our system shakes just a little, as in 2020. We're living in a time of spiritual decay. How many times have you heard of "spiritual leaders", regardless of religion, which are found to be self-serving, narcissistic perverts and molesters? Too often. And yet they may have followings in the millions, despite being deeply rotten people. Not to even talk about politicians and our so-called "leaders". The people who are supposed to lead us are supposed to be the very best our species has to offer. Yet what we get, is the very bottom-scrape of humanity. Be a weak, spiritually sick, narcissistic, sociopathic and perverted human being devoid of soul or principle, and you could become a leader of men today. A strong, healthy, principled, wise, moral and honorable person CANNOT become a leader today. If that isn't proof of how far we have fallen, I don't know what is. Everything that could be rotten and wrong in humanity, is all happening at the same time. We are spiralling towards the end of this cycle, but following this, there will be a golden age for our descendants.
I do think Ragnarok is largely metaphorical, put perhaps alludes to some cataclysmic event that happened, such as volcanic activity. The gods and their powers try to intervene and mitigate the damage to preserve what they can for humans. But there's only so much they can do against powerful natural destructive forces, and so much of their power was expended that they "died" or became less able to physically interact with our material world. Perhaps that's why they still seek to form relationships with us.
I'm not here to there is or isn't but it's so true that these Ragnarök like events are happening. The 3 year winter is this pandemic we live in two years of fear of this death and now they say a new one (monkey pocks for anyone who hasn't heard) is on the rise and all our brothers and sister fight one another whether it's race or class or religion instead of standing together and I guess you could say that the giants are political figures. I'm not to great with piecing all of it together, but I see these thing but it doesn't make it Ragnarök but it doesn't mean we shouldn't stand together in hard time too. Love the video btw real eye opener for me been watching for 3 years now, keep up the good work skål brothers and sisters.
is been feeling like the End of times for me since a wile ago seem most Shieldmaidens and Valkyries falling from skies with dying grace and see most of them turned into the most shallow of all voids i guess i make sense to myself specially when i feel the Grace of the Skygods very distant from the source of light and Thunders
It's a known fact that time is not linear. Therefore Ragnarok (and all the stories) has already happened, is currently happening, and is still to come.
I think ragnarök is a cyclical thing, and other mythical events are cyclical as well. We might really never understand what it's like to exist as cyclical beings, for we are merely mortal. Does that make sense?
The climate events that helped end the Bronze Age is a great candidate for a Fimbulwinter. That would certainly have contributed to the lessening of the worship of the sun god of the Nordic Bronze Age, with all the sun shield and sun ship motifs as well. From Wiki: "Some Egyptologists have dated the Hekla 3 volcanic eruption in Iceland to 1159 BC and blamed it for famines under Ramesses III during the wider Bronze Age collapse. The event is thought to have caused a volcanic winter." So, if it caused a volcanic winter all the way down in Egypt, it must have been worse in Scandinavia. I agree with the cyclical concept and that the ending of any given thing is it's own Ragnarök, and when that thing is on the societal level, it can appear even worse. I think though, that the reason some heathens don't want Ragnarök to have already happened is simple. In Ragnarök, Odin and Thor die, and those heathens quite simply want to keep worshiping Thor and Odin, not start worshiping their children. But as one who leans more Anglo-Saxon myself, I'm not bound by Snorri and I think, along with every other PIE mythology aside from the Norse, as well as Husdrapa says, that the Altuna Stone possibly depicts, and along with the other believers that Snorri mentioned, that the Thunder Striker has already slain the Water Serpent and was not slain by it in turn. I think that Snorri's version is Snorri's attempt at the heathen Norse to have an Apocalypse of Snorri's own Christian religion, but I think there was likely an older version of the myth that more closely resembles other PIE myths, which means it already happened before the world order, and ironically would mean that it is a CREATION story, just like Indra slaying Vritra, Zeus slaying Typhon, and Apollo slaying Python.
UA-cam removed my comment after 2 weeks, I don't know why. I wanted to reply to someone with an interesting take. Too bad for youtube, I know how google works. So here's my original comment. I've been thinking a lot about Ragnarök lately. Personally, I see Ragnarök on multiple levels of analysis. With that I mean that it happens on a global scale, as well as an individual scale and everything in between. You already mentioned the global events that are happening right now, which I agree with look like end times. The old world will die and burn, then a new one will be reborn from the ashes like the phoenix from Greek mythology. On the individual scale, you will also constantly encounter Ragnarök. You are guaranteed to reach points in your life where you have to burn yourself down, or at least a little bit, to continue life. Simply to adapt to changes in your environment. I also think it is interesting that Yggdrasil seems to survive Ragnarök. To me, it symbolizes the part of yourself that remains the same across all these transformations, in other words the identity (this can be the identity of anything, from person, to family, to society etc.). Some of Yggdrasil's dead parts might be burned off, but that just makes room for new parts. For example, imagine you're an alcoholic and you manage to stop drinking. What will happen? First of all, things are not going to get better, they are going to get worse. Things are going to get much worse, potentially fatal. However, if you make it through that part, things do get better. That's a point of personal Ragnarök, the death of alcoholic you, and rebirth of healthier you. It's still you, your Yggdrasil is still intact. You've just burned off the parts made you weak.
A thought I would leave people in regards to this, what if, the tools that many people and I think all of us have done to a certain degree, that make it easy to hurt eachother and be mad at eachother, are in fact the very tools that will allow us to heal and make ourselves and eachother better. A very good example, is what Jacob is doing with UA-cam
Entropy is real. Every system, including the closed world system we live inside of, are subject to it. If this is true, then how do we exist now? Our morals, customs, traditions, laws, familiy structure, philosophies etc. do all seem to be systems suffering this Entropy. The dramatic degradation in them over the last say, 100 years, is abundantly clear. Big brother, a social experiment about what people are willing to do for a couple hundred thousand after taxes, is a spine shivering testimony to the current state of decay our society is experiencing. The mission is , frame being a scumbag in such a way that those whom you deceive, are proud to reward you with money. The winner is literally not only the worst person, but the most tactful at hiding it. The most tactful is the best at completly inverting 1st principles. This is one of the most viewed shows in television history, as milllions around the world worship the winners. Massive blobs of humans gather together in tiny areas by some sort of wierd city fetishing instinct, highly increasing the chances of a complete societal collapse. These pockets are so intertwined that all it would take is ONE natural disaster destroying one of the more prominent headquarters, or even more simply, a grid shutdown, and the entire population will suffer, wich might cause just enough panic in the other pockets that there is no reversal. Oooohhhh boy I can just smell the next reset. Look at the first civilization, Sumer, up until now. The pattern is, that NONE of them exist today. They ALL collapsed. The only difference is that they actually believed in ragnarok and attempted to prepare, as we, sadly do not, wich means it's even worse for us. We're the big one. We're gonna have it so bad that the stories we tell about it, will be so grand and far off from daily experience, that it will get scoffed at by ppl 6,000 years from now, right before they fall. Cyclical time is the only time that can be real.
Hard not to make a link with what is going on in Ukraine: brothers and cousins are killing each others. And that conflict is starving parts of the wold differently. Africa is litteraly starving now while western societies (Canada for me) is seing constant increase in food prices but limited supplies. If Ragnarök isn’t happening right now, the stage is being set for real soon IMHO. I really like your point of view on this event.
as a secular and/or atheistic pagan...i don't believe in religion of any kind...once a belief turns religious...human beings seem to lose their minds and really terrible things happen to other humans...to the earth and all the creatures here...i see it in the comments section and in real life...maybe...that's ragnarok...the seemingly endless ugliness humans bring to ourselves and all other things on the planet...
I've never thought we're in the end times. If you look through history, we are by far not living in the worst of times. Soooo many empires have come and ended horribly. We've, as humans, have survived plagues 1000 times worse than covid. We've survived terrible wars and famine so awful cannibalism was a viable option for some. We might not be living in a utopian society, but we've definitely lived through far worse. Edit: teach me to comment before I listen to the end of the video!! I love the idea that radnarock is the end of a cycle, not the end of everything.
There is no doubt that all this conflict and evil going on in this world cannot sustain itself. There will be a reset, like there always has been. It'll be INSANE to witness an extinction level event though.
Tbh I just think the world is going off the rails and has been for a while. I think the idea of it [Ragnarök] being a cycle is interesting. It makes sense. 🤷🏼♀️
I think Ragnarok has a lot of Christian influence for the simple reason that Odin's son's stay in Hel until the event of Ragnarok when historically the Germanic ancestors knew that everyone went to Hel first before traveling to anywhere else so why are Odin's sons still in Hel? Second of all why are there only two humans left that eat from the morning dew in the fields and forests? The last one sounds very similar to a Genesis idea of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden right? Second of all wisdom never dies which Odin can be translated to wisdom and spirit among many other things if you go back to proto Germanic languages. Wisdom will fall but it will never be gone forever..... The main story of Ragnarok of how the gods made promises and oaths that they broke with the actions they made towards Fenrir which caused the norns to weave a different fate for the gods is a perfect example of how us humans need to keep our promises and oaths when we make them and the second example of how we should keep our oaths and promises is when Odin made a promise to never hurt Loki which when he gave the mistletoe spear to Hodr and threw it into Baldr Odin knew that he needed to be punished and that he had to break his oath which consequently changed not only his fate but the rest of the gods and humanities fate which are all connected. The stories of Ragnarok are reminders that us humans should keep our oaths and never break them not even break promises that we make to one another but on the other hand a lot of it has been influenced by Christians as propaganda to make the Norse believe that their gods would eventually die in the final battle for the universe and their tree would crumble and out of the ashes would come a new God the "God almighty" which for a lot of storytellers leave out the fact that at the end of the story of Ragnarok there's always a God Almighty at the end that is worshiped by a man and a woman named life and the stubborn will to live.. in Hebrew Adam and Eve represent life and a stubborn will to live as well so just ponder on that and make your decision but just remember us Germanic tribal heathens can never believe in the same thing as one another because then therefore we are just like the monotheistic faiths which make it a religion. Being a Germanic tribal heathen is following a spiritual path not a religion we all believe in different things we shall never believe in the same thing. ☯️
@@Z0neXDthebest another example to my previous Baldr statement is that Baldr will stay in hel till the twilight of the gods is over, which sounds eerily familiar to the Catholic belief that when Jesus died he descended into hell to collect some souls before his ascent back to the kingdom of heaven with them. The stories of the end times varied from tribe to tribe in the Germanic world I think as the Celtic beliefs varied from tribe to tribe there too.. same thing about the view of death and God's/Goddesses, trolls, spirits, parts of the soul and how humans came to be as it is different from lets say Cherokee beliefs and pacific northwest native beliefs.. or Seuibi germanic confederation of tribal beliefs and cherusci tribal beliefs. Not everyone has the same beliefs as one another, some believed in one or two gods such as Tyr and Freyr and some believed in none except for the animistic aspects of the germanic spiritual ways. Some incorporated Celtic beliefs into their germanic beliefs as well as Christian worldviews, which is probably why we see Valhalla as the ultimate destination and ultimate goal in life as a germanic/Norse heathen. Idk only our ancestors know because they were there, not us. It's important to keep storytelling alive and move forward and help evolve our understanding of our faiths to keep them alive as our ancestors evolved theirs from a strictly solar and lunar worship and an animistic one in the bronze age to a polytheistic one to keep up with what they perceived to be their modern ways of thinking back then.
ok so let me gather this Ragnarök is going down right now BUT we live our lives daily like normal its just a cycle so we are at the end of Ragnarok from what some one said tbh i dont feel scared or nothing i feel chill not worried like the war in ukraine could end as early as next yr fresh air but the war in gaza that just started , so this is going down but jacob exlpained it on a more chill lvl huh so we could have peace in the future so ragnarok is happening but less dramatic though im autistic sorry i hate crazy
Absolutely RAGNAROK is here,, ANNUNAKI USSR PLIADIANS UK USA CANADA ETC... REVELATION IS TAKEN FROM THIS ANCIENT ENDING... WE REPLAY IN A MODERN TWIST..
Very nice subject!!! to say the truth i waited to see this video from the day you had anounce it before two weeks. My view about Ragnarok is little different. Ι believe is something like a great reset of the world as happened about 9000bc with the Deucalion flood. The way that will happen this time I think is with the ww3 when the nuclear bombs will kill most of the man kind and very few people will survive to build the civilazation from the beginning again hopefully better this time. What we can do is to be prepared to fight so we have a chance to be survivors so we can transfer some of our knowledge to the new generations that will live after. Even if it doesnt happen to us it is very possible to happen at the time of our children our grandchildren.
This is just a personal opinion, so keep that in mind. Opinions are like butt holes, everyone has em and some stink worse than others. But my personal opinion is that Ragnarok is a recurring event and I think it could be literal.
I have a few videos on Norse mythology specifically. I recommend checking out the creation myth video, nine realms, or even my most recent Midgard video.
You could interpret Ragnarök as an advanced initiation. The 9 worlds correspond to parts of ones being. This happens about every 80 years; Trump sort of messed up the schedule. The lack of an enduring tradition & watchfulness(watch Jordan Peterson's lecture on Ra, replace with Heimdall). This is not just another kicking over of the anthill, the stakes are much higher this time.
The surviving eddas are incomplete and not entirely correct. When the gods die in battle it's straight to Valhalla...duh... so that new god coming down is Odin in true form... hlin waits aloft to speed Odin out of danger vidar takes up the slack their falls exhausted and perhaps not dead, frey beats surt and his fire is slaked, Heimdall is victorious in the east, read the text while turning to the directions and work the real meaning back out
Personally, I think Ragnarok will happen. Just...differently. I believe the gods will die, but they will come back. It's also stated anyway that after Ragnarok a NEW world will come as in it will just restart.
So…what? Odins just gonna make a new world and make the survivors the owners or something? (Do know that this is a joke and I do actually call myself pagan-)
Im new to the page and I commented on older post of yours but I was hoping to get into contact with you I feel like I’ve hit an awakening moment of sorts and I was hoping to converse with you about it!!
Odin returned about a decade ago. He's not all that much to write home about though. Very stoic and passive. He is patient. The powers that return, approximately once every millennium ebb and flow. Lilith says it is neutrinos. I've not been able to verify this, but I made predictions based upon a rise in neutrinos acting like microwaves, agitating magma, causing earthquakes, volcanos, etc, and the predictions were accurate. Calving of Icebergs, to produce the ice giants in the Northern seas is obvious. The energy connecting with nervous systems and minds, has an effect on people psychologically. People's moods change. They become more volatile generally, and they become more extreme in their usual characteristics. The become more nervous, anxious, frantic, harder working, and they seek escape. The pharmaceutical addiction being promoted globally is not as helpful as humans think it is. It is damaging people who are trying to go through a process of rebirth and growth. Some people, for whatever reason, start to become personalities which have been here before. Odin being an obvious example. I had one come to me on Twitter once, and he said, "I am Thor, and you have Thor in your name, wouldn't it be funny if one of us knew someone with the characteristics of Loki." I told him Loki lives about 30 miles away from me. We have known each other for quite a while. That chap didn't come back to me after that. I consider that we are all supposed to know ourselves as divine, and have a clarity whereby we are comfortable in our own nature, and we flow smoothly with the guidance of Frigg. I would consider this to be a condition of Odin, and I would consider that any who are like this are Odin. This doesn't change the fact that I know Odin, and he is currently in Queensland. In the JudeoChristian tradition he is known as MIchael. I am a little bit more complicated. Open to experience. I have seen a lot. I would argue that I am also Odin, but unfortunately, he was Odin first. It is Ragnarok. If you pull together all the clues from all the faiths and religions, the patterns are easier to see. 2020 was key. Year started with Pope Francis slapping a woman's hand in anger, and then the Pestilence came. Year ended with the Christmas Star formed of Saturn and Jupiter. That solstice marked the passing of Baldur, and the fall of Asgard. Asgard will rise again, and we enter a new dawn for humanity. Faith will grow, and the ignorant mindset that simply rejects anything too difficult to think about will diminish.
It sure is. I died and came back......................... Odin stepped in and showed me truth of this world. I went sudden cardiac arrest and asystole while partially spinally decapitated. NOT FUN.
Wanna know WHAT Ragnarok really is? See my Petri Dish Earth vids. Odin is a GIANT and a VERY ADVANCED SCIENTIST. He is trying to cure Tuberculosis in his world with Streptomyces bacteria. He put parts of another giant into the dish "Ymir" ............... The bacteria has been isolated and harvested already. Next step .... INCINERATOR. ........ LETS TALK
And that’s perfectly fine. But I wouldn’t recommend telling people here to convert (And plus, why’d you watch this in the first place if your faith is in Christ-?)
@3:50 thats a very arrogant way of speaking of the end times. As a pagan, u do believe in the Gods correct? If so, why do u think their manifestation on Midgard is something not in the realm of possibility? What makes u think u are capable of knowing what would happen at the end? You are not a God. Know your place.
This video is meant to inspire thought and conversation. There is rarely one correct way to look at a subject especially when it comes to mythology that were know a very little about in the grand scheme of time.
@@TheWisdomOfOdin then do not make claims to the contrary. Making a claim that something is true and stating a personal belief are two completely different things.
What do you mean by believing in the Gods "correct"? Claiming to know how to believe "correct"/tell other people they are not believing "correct" is very arrogant, because for me there is no "correct" way in how to believe and honor the Gods. And this is why I became a norse pagan, you can believe and honor your Gods in any way you want, without having a person in a higher Position who tells you how to pray, honor, celebrate etc (like in cristianity)
@@simonbuchgeister u jumped through quite a few hurdles there. This isnt mental gymnastics. Norse Paganism, Germanic Paganism, Ásatrú, etc. are religions. There is a belief that The Old Gods exist. U cannot believe something exists and at the same time treat their very presence as imaginary. otherwise u would be claiming ur belief in the Gods is based on something made up within ur own head.... Its not the religion u claim to practice. I left Christianity to get away from those who speak in contradictions within their faith. to get away from those who make up their own faith under the guise of Christianity. Im realizing those kind of people exist everywhere. I am in no way telling anyone how to believe. I am merely highlighting the contradictions in speech. to claim i am telling people how to believe is simply false.
so...no. Humans have been in the end times since the very beginning. When we do go, it will be in a blinding, unannounced flash. You won't have time to contemplate the end. Try occupying your mind with improving yourself each day, and taking your responsibilities more seriously. Be a warrior, not a sheep.
I have always viewed apocalypses from any faith is metaphorical. And they’re usually speaking of paradigm shifts.
The changing of the age
Bingo, and as they are paradigm shift it is a collective and individual psyche shift, since as above so below, a shift in the external is also a shift in the internal.
I've been thinking a lot about Ragnarök lately. Personally, I see Ragnarök on multiple levels of analysis. With that I mean that it happens on a global scale, as well as an individual scale and everything in between. You already mentioned the global events that are happening right now, which I agree with look like end times. The old world will die and burn, then a new one will be reborn from the ashes like the phoenix from Greek mythology.
On the individual scale, you will also constantly encounter Ragnarök. You are guaranteed to reach points in your life where you have to burn yourself down, or at least a little bit, to continue life. Simply to adapt to changes in your environment. I also think it is interesting that Yggdrasil seems to survive Ragnarök. To me, it symbolizes the part of yourself that remains the same across all these transformations, in other words the identity (this can be the identity of anything, from person, to family, to society etc.). Some of Yggdrasil's dead parts might be burned off, but that just makes room for new parts.
For example, imagine you're an alcoholic and you manage to stop drinking. What will happen? First of all, things are not going to get better, they are going to get worse. Things are going to get *much* worse, potentially fatal. However, if you make it through that part, things do get better. That's a point of personal Ragnarök, the death of alcoholic you, and rebirth of healthier you. It's still you, your Yggdrasil is still intact. You've just burned off the parts made you weak.
You put it very well. Individuals go through this sort of thing all the time, but in dribs and drabs, and they are usually oppressed by the world, which denies their right to awaken to greater spiritual insight. Often just locking them up and drugging them. At the moment, the conditions are right to push an awful lot of people at once to go through that kind of catharsis, so that it starts to become noticeable at a cultural level. Then the world cannot oppress it, because we become the world, and the ignorant close minded thinking of the past falls away, to be replaced with a more open and enquiring way of looking at the world. Less conflict, and more harmony and cooperation.
Yggdrasil, the tree has parallels in other belief systems. It is the huluppu tree from Sumeria, and it is the tree of knowledge from Eden. The image helps it to be understood by primitive people, but the tree of life is the energy that runs through our nervous systems. Roots running down our legs, branches running through our arms. The dark maid Lilith makes her home in the trunk of the huluppu tree, where the enteric nervous plexus is, guiding through gut instinct; the serpent is at its base, the kundalini; the anzu bird makes its nest in the top of the tree, in the brain. The intention of awakening is to increase communication through the nervous system between brain and nervous plexuses, so that intuition and intellect work as one, and thus one eye looks upon the world of symbols, and one eye looks upon the world of men.
Jacob I have a very inquisitive 6 year old son. Him and I sat around the fire afew weeks ago and watched your epic space cow video. We followed that up with a great discussion.
Tonight we did the same with this one and I wanted to thank you.
He has taken alot of interest in this kind of stuff and it has brought us closer together as father and son. I can't thank you enough for these moments him and I have shared together.
He did notice that you and I wear the same symbol around our necks so I think the cats out of the bag on where I stand. 😄
Hail the old ways brother!
Skål!
This is a heart warming thing to hear. So happy. So happy I can inspire such conversation ❤️
When the subject of Ragnarok comes up, my first thought is always "which one?" Like you and other Norse Pagans, I do see it as primarily a cyclical event. All things have their time--and all things ends, and the conclusion of one era gives birth to the next. Pagans are uniquely qualified to be a beacon of hope these days. We understand the necessary turning of the Wheel and that all stages of being within a cycle serve a purpose and have to happen.
Yes, there are hard lessons to be learned in the coming years--but those lessons will serve us well as we re-build society (hopefully more wisely!)
I think Ragnorok is not a warning, but more of a reassurance, that if the world does end, we will return to peace and a better world.
I love how you talk based on your own thoughts, experiences, and knowledge. You kinda give me a sense of a guide on a field trip. Love it
The quote from Gandalf made me tear up T__T
I personally believe that Ragnarock comes with the rise and fall of civilisations, like you mentioned in the video. The interesting difference this time around is that we live in such a global world, that pretty much every corner of the world will be affected tremendously.
You have my brotherly love. I could take two hours typing out commentary on your body of work, yet I am not settled. In other words, I don’t have 100% alignment with your chosen (or divinely inspired) path. But that’s all on me, not anything you create and share. You are helping me sort a lot of feelings. I am certain shamanism colors my blood, but I don’t have any evidence of that lineage. It’s only the feelings I get that give me that certainty. Thus, I am feeling out the path like a blind man. I have sat through Marvel movies, Viking based series and movies, etc knowing they are all dramatized re-workings of mythos optimized to draw in viewers. This is where you get thanks for the reality checks that I want and need for guidance. The studios throw millions at projects and you bring your personal camera and just talk from your heart, tempered by the wisdom of your experience. Carry on Brother.
Couldn't agree more. I want to help establish communities like yours into more permanent physical establishments in the hopes they survive into the next cycle.
From someone who comes from a Catholic background, it’s interesting to hear how literally (or not) different religions view certain texts from their own lore. I’m learning about Norse Paganism due to my boyfriend being one. We enjoy peacefully discussing our differing beliefs and have found we have so much more in common than differences. I personally believe my apocalypse to be both describing a past event (the fall of Jerusalem and the reign of Nero) and a future event that will happen (the official end of the world), but described using heavy amounts of symbolism. It’s interesting to see that you take a similar approach to Ragnarok. I wonder if there are many who believe in the story from a literal pov? Or if people in the olden days were more likely to believe it literally, before science progressed 🤔
I always love hearing your theories on mythology. You have an interesting perspective.
There's also the theory that at the end of each astrological age (period of 2160 years) there is some sort of calamity which ushers in the next age. Some people believe that we are nearing the end of the Age of Pisces and soon going to be transitioning to the Age of Aquarius. This could possibly have something to do with Ragnarok and the various apocalypse myths from other cultures.
Great discussion!
There are definitely some correlations to historical events, the Earth has natural warming and cooling cycles (about every 300 to 350 years on average, Nova Science has a great older documentary on this) alongside other disaster events that influence the seasons and climate for periods of time alongside geopolitical/ civilization shifts that prompt wars and other major events and progressions.
I agree, there is a Ragnarok underway currently-- the big question is to how long it will last, but it will come to an end and man and nature will again flourish once a balance is attained again.
Hail the Aesir and Vanir, skal brother.
Yellowstone could become Surtr, and Nuclear War could be the final battle before this cycle ends and the next begins.
What if Ragnarok already happened? Perhaps in the form of Christianity? This basically whiped out paganism on a large scale. Short after that a huge plague covered Europe together with a small Ice Age.
in my opinion odin found a way to avoid ragnarok
@@noregrveidr8178 I very much doubt that ancient pagan peoples prayed and built magnificent temples and made idols and sacrifices to simple fables or energies
That's an interesting way of interpreting it.
@@herbertrichard8203No, he said it was unavoidable. His only comfort from the event is that it will not be the end of the whole world.
I instantly remember Aragorn's speech in front of the black gates
I love this video. Thank you. Gods Bless.
Very interesting points of view! Thank you for making these videos!
You're a very wise, old soul. Thank you for your videos.
I really needed to hear this today, after being overwhelmed with everything. Thank you
Yes, A lot of people do believe literally. And it terrifies them. I only listened to this program trusting you did not. You did not disappoint. Very intelligent point of view.
It may have possibly started I think in the next 5-10 years something very big and bad will happen all my other three predictions came true in 2020 just like I said they would so hopefully this time I'll be wrong
Another amazing informative video Jacob! Hail the gods and goddess Skol💀🍻
I believe that Ragnarok is "LITERAL". However! I do agree with you as well. What I mean is that I believe we ARE IN FACT on the front end of Ragnarok at this moment... Wars over resources, the C-19 causing brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, and families to turn on each other! They are doing this by refusing to commune with each other, and being paranoid of catching something that has been fed to them as "SCARY". This resources will continue to dwindle, until the war of wars FINALLY breaks out! We need to stay positive towards one another. And unite as strong as possible more so than ever before.

I agree all the way I am Native American uwu
Ragnarok reminds me of illness and death. Illness can be very destructive, the body fights it, and sometimes it does not win. But with death comes new life.
Hey that was so great philosophical/ psychological/ historical/ mythical analysis that it made my night. Dr. Jung would be proud. I would just add one thing. If we agree that Ragnarok is happening now (that metaphorical/ our type of Ragnarok), those ways that you are talking about like how to behave with nature, folks, family etc.
That is true metaphor for the warrior from Valhalla who is goint in to the battle on Ragnarok.
Cheers my friend 🍺❤🇧🇦
I have chatted with all walks faith and they have said “this is end of times for us humans.” We will be reborn
I’m always thinking about Ragnarok, but I’ve wondered about something. What if creation, life of Urd, and Ragnarok, are all cyclical. Let me give a few examples:
The flood of Noah, chaos and destruction of a mad and unfettered world.
The World wars, wartime chaos destroys much of Europe, millions die in the conflict, not to mention Hiroshima, with the nuclear blast being quite similar to the sword of Surt.
The Black Plauge, famine and plague ravage the world, almost decimating Europe.
Sodom and Gomorrah, fire falls from the heavens on wicked cities, similar to the sons of muspell falling on the earth.
The Ice Age, freezing cold, a world baptized in ice, The Jotuns
These are just my theories, but it certainly makes me wonder
That is an awesome way to see the way things are. I just learning how to be a Norse pagan thank you for helping me with this journey.
Awesome Video thanks Jacob 👍
I hope what comes afterwards is better…. People are so mean an ugly now and pulled away from everyone else. Love your channel one day when I’m not broke I’ll be on your patreon 😢 ❤❤
Performed 'Ragnarok' as storytelling show in 2021 on alternative scene as saw the link with today. Oddly I had just performed it few years before in Brighton Fringe in 2018. So was my most recent show alongside the Creation Myth from the Eddas.
This may not be the Ragnarok of the Eddas but we are truly within this ages Ragnarok. Strike hard strike true by brothers, stand up and fight the oppression upon us from those set in place to lead us. Stay epic my friends!
Skol!
Quite insightful. Do you think there can be signs where there could be fighting back against what's been happening for a better world?
Maybe; here in America at least. People need to go a few months with what’s going on in Italy, where they have to use candles. Have less use of electricity and especially smartphones/computers/tv, air conditioning. Retract from modern conveniences and just live. Yeah there’d be some issues(nothing much from what we’ve already been seeing) but get people to live without for a good 6+ months.
The opening prophecy sounds EXTREMELY familiar to the second(?) prophecy of the Morrigan...
Very well explained Jacob. I would like to go on writing more here about all of what you said. But... it would be like writing a small book. Too much to write. Thank you Jacob. til Valhal!! Skal!
I Believe the myths represent the cycles.
So it helps you understand the worlds and your place in them.
So ragnarok has happend, and will happen again.
So where are we in the cycle now?
I believe we are in the death of Balder.
Thats the myth that starts the buildup to ragnarok.
I made a whole video about in on my channel ( the death of Balder)
If i’m right, filmbulwinter is around the corner 🤐
I think not only is Ragnarok happening, but happening again. Our world is built on cycles, and if you look back in history, there are large times of unrest around every 100 years. We have current unrest, and around this time 100 yrs ago, we had both World Wars. I feel that Ragnarök isn't so much an Apocalypse as times of unrest and change
Commented this about halfway through and almost immediately after this gets brought up in the video. Great minds lol
Ragnarök, the Kali Yūga, the end of the current age, it’s all happening. And it will only going to get worse in the short time, read the Eddas and Śrīmad Bhāgavatam
😅
I think a sign of end times could be looking at spiritually only through the lense of historicity..
this was so powerful, the end especially
I agree with this view thank u for sharing ur thoughts.
The Norse mythos does not stand alone as an isolate, but is part of a large tree of Indo-European mythologies and spiritualities, which as you point out, aren't to be taken *literally*, but are rather layers and layers of themes and symbolism.
Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya has spoken about this, convinced that we are in the middle of the Kali Yuga, the darkest of ages. But after this darkest of ages, there will be a rebirth. The Norse mythos, when viewed through a Christian lense (as it was for much of the 19th and 20th centuries), saw Ragnarök as the same as the Christian rapture and "end of the world". The Indo-European spiritualities don't see an end of the world, but always just the end of a cycle, and birth of a new. In the Norse mythos, this new world following Ragnarök is called Gimle, and is ruled by Balder - love and light.
I, too, am sure we're living in the end of a cycle, the Kali Yuga is a good term for it. Humanity is in a very poor spot now. Not looking back decades or even centuries, but thousands of years, humanity has slowly lost its grip and today, despite all our gadgets and comfortable lives, are dumber than we've been in a very long time - perhaps ever. We're clueless cattle, the vast majority helpless to save ourselves if our system shakes just a little, as in 2020. We're living in a time of spiritual decay. How many times have you heard of "spiritual leaders", regardless of religion, which are found to be self-serving, narcissistic perverts and molesters? Too often. And yet they may have followings in the millions, despite being deeply rotten people.
Not to even talk about politicians and our so-called "leaders". The people who are supposed to lead us are supposed to be the very best our species has to offer. Yet what we get, is the very bottom-scrape of humanity. Be a weak, spiritually sick, narcissistic, sociopathic and perverted human being devoid of soul or principle, and you could become a leader of men today. A strong, healthy, principled, wise, moral and honorable person CANNOT become a leader today. If that isn't proof of how far we have fallen, I don't know what is.
Everything that could be rotten and wrong in humanity, is all happening at the same time. We are spiralling towards the end of this cycle, but following this, there will be a golden age for our descendants.
Thank you❤
I do think Ragnarok is largely metaphorical, put perhaps alludes to some cataclysmic event that happened, such as volcanic activity. The gods and their powers try to intervene and mitigate the damage to preserve what they can for humans. But there's only so much they can do against powerful natural destructive forces, and so much of their power was expended that they "died" or became less able to physically interact with our material world. Perhaps that's why they still seek to form relationships with us.
I feel like the wisdom of odin would be a really good studier of theology
I am learning things here. Cool.
I hope it’s real and literal. I’m very weary and well ready to move on.
I'm not here to there is or isn't but it's so true that these Ragnarök like events are happening. The 3 year winter is this pandemic we live in two years of fear of this death and now they say a new one (monkey pocks for anyone who hasn't heard) is on the rise and all our brothers and sister fight one another whether it's race or class or religion instead of standing together and I guess you could say that the giants are political figures. I'm not to great with piecing all of it together, but I see these thing but it doesn't make it Ragnarök but it doesn't mean we shouldn't stand together in hard time too. Love the video btw real eye opener for me been watching for 3 years now, keep up the good work skål brothers and sisters.
is been feeling like the End of times for me since a wile ago
seem most Shieldmaidens and Valkyries falling from skies with dying grace
and see most of them turned into the most shallow of all voids
i guess i make sense to myself specially when i feel the Grace of the Skygods very distant from the source of light and Thunders
a cycle that's come to us in these times......
I am worried about Ragnarok as well. World War 3 will be fought with Nukes and World War 4 Will be Fought with sticks and stones.
Didn’t Einstein say that-?
@@Z0neXDthebest Yes He Did.
It's a known fact that time is not linear. Therefore Ragnarok (and all the stories) has already happened, is currently happening, and is still to come.
I think ragnarök is a cyclical thing, and other mythical events are cyclical as well. We might really never understand what it's like to exist as cyclical beings, for we are merely mortal. Does that make sense?
The climate events that helped end the Bronze Age is a great candidate for a Fimbulwinter. That would certainly have contributed to the lessening of the worship of the sun god of the Nordic Bronze Age, with all the sun shield and sun ship motifs as well. From Wiki: "Some Egyptologists have dated the Hekla 3 volcanic eruption in Iceland to 1159 BC and blamed it for famines under Ramesses III during the wider Bronze Age collapse. The event is thought to have caused a volcanic winter." So, if it caused a volcanic winter all the way down in Egypt, it must have been worse in Scandinavia.
I agree with the cyclical concept and that the ending of any given thing is it's own Ragnarök, and when that thing is on the societal level, it can appear even worse. I think though, that the reason some heathens don't want Ragnarök to have already happened is simple. In Ragnarök, Odin and Thor die, and those heathens quite simply want to keep worshiping Thor and Odin, not start worshiping their children. But as one who leans more Anglo-Saxon myself, I'm not bound by Snorri and I think, along with every other PIE mythology aside from the Norse, as well as Husdrapa says, that the Altuna Stone possibly depicts, and along with the other believers that Snorri mentioned, that the Thunder Striker has already slain the Water Serpent and was not slain by it in turn. I think that Snorri's version is Snorri's attempt at the heathen Norse to have an Apocalypse of Snorri's own Christian religion, but I think there was likely an older version of the myth that more closely resembles other PIE myths, which means it already happened before the world order, and ironically would mean that it is a CREATION story, just like Indra slaying Vritra, Zeus slaying Typhon, and Apollo slaying Python.
UA-cam removed my comment after 2 weeks, I don't know why. I wanted to reply to someone with an interesting take. Too bad for youtube, I know how google works. So here's my original comment.
I've been thinking a lot about Ragnarök lately. Personally, I see Ragnarök on multiple levels of analysis. With that I mean that it happens on a global scale, as well as an individual scale and everything in between. You already mentioned the global events that are happening right now, which I agree with look like end times. The old world will die and burn, then a new one will be reborn from the ashes like the phoenix from Greek mythology.
On the individual scale, you will also constantly encounter Ragnarök. You are guaranteed to reach points in your life where you have to burn yourself down, or at least a little bit, to continue life. Simply to adapt to changes in your environment. I also think it is interesting that Yggdrasil seems to survive Ragnarök. To me, it symbolizes the part of yourself that remains the same across all these transformations, in other words the identity (this can be the identity of anything, from person, to family, to society etc.). Some of Yggdrasil's dead parts might be burned off, but that just makes room for new parts.
For example, imagine you're an alcoholic and you manage to stop drinking. What will happen? First of all, things are not going to get better, they are going to get worse. Things are going to get much worse, potentially fatal. However, if you make it through that part, things do get better. That's a point of personal Ragnarök, the death of alcoholic you, and rebirth of healthier you. It's still you, your Yggdrasil is still intact. You've just burned off the parts made you weak.

A thought I would leave people in regards to this, what if, the tools that many people and I think all of us have done to a certain degree, that make it easy to hurt eachother and be mad at eachother, are in fact the very tools that will allow us to heal and make ourselves and eachother better. A very good example, is what Jacob is doing with UA-cam
Entropy is real. Every system, including the closed world system we live inside of, are subject to it. If this is true, then how do we exist now? Our morals, customs, traditions, laws, familiy structure, philosophies etc. do all seem to be systems suffering this Entropy. The dramatic degradation in them over the last say, 100 years, is abundantly clear. Big brother, a social experiment about what people are willing to do for a couple hundred thousand after taxes, is a spine shivering testimony to the current state of decay our society is experiencing. The mission is , frame being a scumbag in such a way that those whom you deceive, are proud to reward you with money. The winner is literally not only the worst person, but the most tactful at hiding it. The most tactful is the best at completly inverting 1st principles. This is one of the most viewed shows in television history, as milllions around the world worship the winners. Massive blobs of humans gather together in tiny areas by some sort of wierd city fetishing instinct, highly increasing the chances of a complete societal collapse. These pockets are so intertwined that all it would take is ONE natural disaster destroying one of the more prominent headquarters, or even more simply, a grid shutdown, and the entire population will suffer, wich might cause just enough panic in the other pockets that there is no reversal. Oooohhhh boy I can just smell the next reset. Look at the first civilization, Sumer, up until now. The pattern is, that NONE of them exist today. They ALL collapsed. The only difference is that they actually believed in ragnarok and attempted to prepare, as we, sadly do not, wich means it's even worse for us. We're the big one. We're gonna have it so bad that the stories we tell about it, will be so grand and far off from daily experience, that it will get scoffed at by ppl 6,000 years from now, right before they fall. Cyclical time is the only time that can be real.
So, people may be fighting each other on a frozen landscape? Hey, that’s Hockey - I think Canadians can handle it, that’s our national sport.
Hard not to make a link with what is going on in Ukraine: brothers and cousins are killing each others. And that conflict is starving parts of the wold differently. Africa is litteraly starving now while western societies (Canada for me) is seing constant increase in food prices but limited supplies.
If Ragnarök isn’t happening right now, the stage is being set for real soon IMHO.
I really like your point of view on this event.
as a secular and/or atheistic pagan...i don't believe in religion of any kind...once a belief turns religious...human beings seem to lose their minds and really terrible things happen to other humans...to the earth and all the creatures here...i see it in the comments section and in real life...maybe...that's ragnarok...the seemingly endless ugliness humans bring to ourselves and all other things on the planet...
I've had this very thought.
I've never thought we're in the end times. If you look through history, we are by far not living in the worst of times. Soooo many empires have come and ended horribly. We've, as humans, have survived plagues 1000 times worse than covid. We've survived terrible wars and famine so awful cannibalism was a viable option for some. We might not be living in a utopian society, but we've definitely lived through far worse.
Edit: teach me to comment before I listen to the end of the video!! I love the idea that radnarock is the end of a cycle, not the end of everything.
Old civilizations didn't have nuclear weapons.
So because you pulled on your ear talking about Noah and the flood, does this story make you worried ? Just wondering 💭
There is no doubt that all this conflict and evil going on in this world cannot sustain itself. There will be a reset, like there always has been. It'll be INSANE to witness an extinction level event though.
The three year winter kinda reminds me of the 1993 blizzard
Tbh I just think the world is going off the rails and has been for a while. I think the idea of it [Ragnarök] being a cycle is interesting. It makes sense. 🤷🏼♀️
Inevitably, it is. Yes...
oh....
*just Not this one.*
yes true
I think Ragnarok has a lot of Christian influence for the simple reason that Odin's son's stay in Hel until the event of Ragnarok when historically the Germanic ancestors knew that everyone went to Hel first before traveling to anywhere else so why are Odin's sons still in Hel? Second of all why are there only two humans left that eat from the morning dew in the fields and forests? The last one sounds very similar to a Genesis idea of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden right? Second of all wisdom never dies which Odin can be translated to wisdom and spirit among many other things if you go back to proto Germanic languages. Wisdom will fall but it will never be gone forever..... The main story of Ragnarok of how the gods made promises and oaths that they broke with the actions they made towards Fenrir which caused the norns to weave a different fate for the gods is a perfect example of how us humans need to keep our promises and oaths when we make them and the second example of how we should keep our oaths and promises is when Odin made a promise to never hurt Loki which when he gave the mistletoe spear to Hodr and threw it into Baldr Odin knew that he needed to be punished and that he had to break his oath which consequently changed not only his fate but the rest of the gods and humanities fate which are all connected. The stories of Ragnarok are reminders that us humans should keep our oaths and never break them not even break promises that we make to one another but on the other hand a lot of it has been influenced by Christians as propaganda to make the Norse believe that their gods would eventually die in the final battle for the universe and their tree would crumble and out of the ashes would come a new God the "God almighty" which for a lot of storytellers leave out the fact that at the end of the story of Ragnarok there's always a God Almighty at the end that is worshiped by a man and a woman named life and the stubborn will to live.. in Hebrew Adam and Eve represent life and a stubborn will to live as well so just ponder on that and make your decision but just remember us Germanic tribal heathens can never believe in the same thing as one another because then therefore we are just like the monotheistic faiths which make it a religion. Being a Germanic tribal heathen is following a spiritual path not a religion we all believe in different things we shall never believe in the same thing. ☯️
I mean
Christianity got Christmas from Yule trying to convert pagans, so it would make sense for them to take more then the holidays.
@@Z0neXDthebest another example to my previous Baldr statement is that Baldr will stay in hel till the twilight of the gods is over, which sounds eerily familiar to the Catholic belief that when Jesus died he descended into hell to collect some souls before his ascent back to the kingdom of heaven with them. The stories of the end times varied from tribe to tribe in the Germanic world I think as the Celtic beliefs varied from tribe to tribe there too.. same thing about the view of death and God's/Goddesses, trolls, spirits, parts of the soul and how humans came to be as it is different from lets say Cherokee beliefs and pacific northwest native beliefs.. or Seuibi germanic confederation of tribal beliefs and cherusci tribal beliefs. Not everyone has the same beliefs as one another, some believed in one or two gods such as Tyr and Freyr and some believed in none except for the animistic aspects of the germanic spiritual ways. Some incorporated Celtic beliefs into their germanic beliefs as well as Christian worldviews, which is probably why we see Valhalla as the ultimate destination and ultimate goal in life as a germanic/Norse heathen. Idk only our ancestors know because they were there, not us. It's important to keep storytelling alive and move forward and help evolve our understanding of our faiths to keep them alive as our ancestors evolved theirs from a strictly solar and lunar worship and an animistic one in the bronze age to a polytheistic one to keep up with what they perceived to be their modern ways of thinking back then.
People are awfully untrue to each other right now.
cool video.
Why there's no ragnorak.
There's no fimbulwinter going on.
ok so let me gather this Ragnarök is going down right now BUT we live our lives daily like normal its just a cycle so we are at the end of Ragnarok from what some one said tbh i dont feel scared or nothing i feel chill not worried like the war in ukraine could end as early as next yr fresh air but the war in gaza that just started , so this is going down but jacob exlpained it on a more chill lvl huh so we could have peace in the future so ragnarok is happening but less dramatic though im autistic sorry i hate crazy

I wonder what part AI development will play in our current “Ragnarök”🧐🤔😳
The AI would probably just sit and watch
Then Loki will burn it or something maybe idk-
Absolutely RAGNAROK is here,, ANNUNAKI USSR PLIADIANS UK USA CANADA ETC... REVELATION IS TAKEN FROM THIS ANCIENT ENDING... WE REPLAY IN A MODERN TWIST..
Very nice subject!!! to say the truth i waited to see this video from the day you had anounce it before two weeks. My view about Ragnarok is little different. Ι believe is something like a great reset of the world as happened about 9000bc with the Deucalion flood. The way that will happen this time I think is with the ww3 when the nuclear bombs will kill most of the man kind and very few people will survive to build the civilazation from the beginning again hopefully better this time. What we can do is to be prepared to fight so we have a chance to be survivors so we can transfer some of our knowledge to the new generations that will live after. Even if it doesnt happen to us it is very possible to happen at the time of our children our grandchildren.
This is just a personal opinion, so keep that in mind. Opinions are like butt holes, everyone has em and some stink worse than others. But my personal opinion is that Ragnarok is a recurring event and I think it could be literal.
Hi Jaccob,Ragnarok Not The End of World,Ragnarok is Finall Battle.
ok have you ever thought of making a channel for theory's of norse mythology?
I have a few videos on Norse mythology specifically. I recommend checking out the creation myth video, nine realms, or even my most recent Midgard video.
@@TheWisdomOfOdin will do
You could interpret Ragnarök as an advanced initiation. The 9 worlds correspond to parts of ones being. This happens about every 80 years; Trump sort of messed up the schedule. The lack of an enduring tradition & watchfulness(watch Jordan Peterson's lecture on Ra, replace with Heimdall). This is not just another kicking over of the anthill, the stakes are much higher this time.
The surviving eddas are incomplete and not entirely correct. When the gods die in battle it's straight to Valhalla...duh... so that new god coming down is Odin in true form... hlin waits aloft to speed Odin out of danger vidar takes up the slack their falls exhausted and perhaps not dead, frey beats surt and his fire is slaked, Heimdall is victorious in the east, read the text while turning to the directions and work the real meaning back out
well said i do too believe Ragnarök is here
Yeah definitely coming up too the end of a cycle 2050 a new one will start the week will run to the city's and that's were they will die
What if thimpulwinter is a nuclear winter!!
Personally, I think Ragnarok will happen. Just...differently. I believe the gods will die, but they will come back. It's also stated anyway that after Ragnarok a NEW world will come as in it will just restart.
So…what? Odins just gonna make a new world and make the survivors the owners or something?
(Do know that this is a joke and I do actually call myself pagan-)
Im new to the page and I commented on older post of yours but I was hoping to get into contact with you I feel like I’ve hit an awakening moment of sorts and I was hoping to converse with you about it!!
Odin returned about a decade ago. He's not all that much to write home about though. Very stoic and passive. He is patient. The powers that return, approximately once every millennium ebb and flow. Lilith says it is neutrinos. I've not been able to verify this, but I made predictions based upon a rise in neutrinos acting like microwaves, agitating magma, causing earthquakes, volcanos, etc, and the predictions were accurate. Calving of Icebergs, to produce the ice giants in the Northern seas is obvious. The energy connecting with nervous systems and minds, has an effect on people psychologically. People's moods change. They become more volatile generally, and they become more extreme in their usual characteristics. The become more nervous, anxious, frantic, harder working, and they seek escape. The pharmaceutical addiction being promoted globally is not as helpful as humans think it is. It is damaging people who are trying to go through a process of rebirth and growth.
Some people, for whatever reason, start to become personalities which have been here before. Odin being an obvious example. I had one come to me on Twitter once, and he said, "I am Thor, and you have Thor in your name, wouldn't it be funny if one of us knew someone with the characteristics of Loki." I told him Loki lives about 30 miles away from me. We have known each other for quite a while. That chap didn't come back to me after that.
I consider that we are all supposed to know ourselves as divine, and have a clarity whereby we are comfortable in our own nature, and we flow smoothly with the guidance of Frigg. I would consider this to be a condition of Odin, and I would consider that any who are like this are Odin. This doesn't change the fact that I know Odin, and he is currently in Queensland. In the JudeoChristian tradition he is known as MIchael. I am a little bit more complicated. Open to experience. I have seen a lot. I would argue that I am also Odin, but unfortunately, he was Odin first.
It is Ragnarok. If you pull together all the clues from all the faiths and religions, the patterns are easier to see. 2020 was key. Year started with Pope Francis slapping a woman's hand in anger, and then the Pestilence came. Year ended with the Christmas Star formed of Saturn and Jupiter. That solstice marked the passing of Baldur, and the fall of Asgard. Asgard will rise again, and we enter a new dawn for humanity. Faith will grow, and the ignorant mindset that simply rejects anything too difficult to think about will diminish.
🤣🤣🤣 Ya'll kill me
It sure is. I died and came back......................... Odin stepped in and showed me truth of this world. I went sudden cardiac arrest and asystole while partially spinally decapitated. NOT FUN.
Wanna know WHAT Ragnarok really is? See my Petri Dish Earth vids. Odin is a GIANT and a VERY ADVANCED SCIENTIST. He is trying to cure Tuberculosis in his world with Streptomyces bacteria. He put parts of another giant into the dish "Ymir" ............... The bacteria has been isolated and harvested already. Next step .... INCINERATOR. ........ LETS TALK
Most people don't wanna talk to me..................................................................
@@noregrveidr8178 I already took your momma
I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord & Savior
And that’s perfectly fine.
But I wouldn’t recommend telling people here to convert
(And plus, why’d you watch this in the first place if your faith is in Christ-?)
@3:50 thats a very arrogant way of speaking of the end times. As a pagan, u do believe in the Gods correct? If so, why do u think their manifestation on Midgard is something not in the realm of possibility? What makes u think u are capable of knowing what would happen at the end?
You are not a God. Know your place.
This video is meant to inspire thought and conversation. There is rarely one correct way to look at a subject especially when it comes to mythology that were know a very little about in the grand scheme of time.
😂
@@TheWisdomOfOdin then do not make claims to the contrary. Making a claim that something is true and stating a personal belief are two completely different things.
What do you mean by believing in the Gods "correct"? Claiming to know how to believe "correct"/tell other people they are not believing "correct" is very arrogant, because for me there is no "correct" way in how to believe and honor the Gods. And this is why I became a norse pagan, you can believe and honor your Gods in any way you want, without having a person in a higher Position who tells you how to pray, honor, celebrate etc (like in cristianity)
@@simonbuchgeister u jumped through quite a few hurdles there. This isnt mental gymnastics.
Norse Paganism, Germanic Paganism, Ásatrú, etc. are religions. There is a belief that The Old Gods exist. U cannot believe something exists and at the same time treat their very presence as imaginary. otherwise u would be claiming ur belief in the Gods is based on something made up within ur own head.... Its not the religion u claim to practice.
I left Christianity to get away from those who speak in contradictions within their faith. to get away from those who make up their own faith under the guise of Christianity. Im realizing those kind of people exist everywhere.
I am in no way telling anyone how to believe. I am merely highlighting the contradictions in speech. to claim i am telling people how to believe is simply false.
so...no. Humans have been in the end times since the very beginning. When we do go, it will be in a blinding, unannounced flash. You won't have time to contemplate the end. Try occupying your mind with improving yourself each day, and taking your responsibilities more seriously. Be a warrior, not a sheep.
