I believe in a more unified spiritual world. One not built on hate or division, but of understanding and respect. That is why his content has always be free of modern and divisive content. I am committed to providing information free of bias, drama, and ego. I believe religion, spirituality, and global healing is for everyone regardless of race, sexuality, gender, or political ideology.
“Only a man who is wide-traveled
and has wandered far can know something about how other men think. Such a man is wise.”

This was a good one. Also wise words indeed Bror
The havamal is truly a wonderful text.
Odin is the all father, Blessed Be.
@@Lee-sd8uo incorrect, he is the all father, father to all who choose to follow him, but I’m glad you’ve exposed yourself as a bigot who does not deserve a space at any worthwhile heathen’s table
Blessed be
Odinn is allfather of germans
@@DanielJackson98 you are ignorant. he is the all father of the WHITE race. EACH RACE HAVE THEIR OWN GODS. so like I said non-whites need to stop appropriating our culture. the Abrahamic religions (Christianity and Islam) are the most destructive weapon against the White Race since they are basically a means of spiritual castration by which the Rabbis cut us off from the All-Pervading Life-Giving Force and our racial Deities and turn us into obedient bio-robots who blindly accept everything the Rabbis tell them to do - including mass chipping that will one day become mandatory. Through these religions, the Rabbis destroy our subconscious mind - they erase our ancient history that is written in it and replace it with their biblical lies, thus already in that unconscious sphere they try to impose themselves on us as the “chosen people” and “our masters”. After that, on a conscious level, a completely wrong perception of reality is created for us, our defense mechanism is paralyzed and we become their easy prey. In simpler terms, through the Abrahamic religions, the Rabbis first cause the spiritual death of our being, after which the death of the race occurs in the physical sense.
Therefore, the liberation of the soul from Semitic mental slavery and the return to our original racial religion are the basic prerequisites for victory over the Hebrew parasites that threaten the survival of our race. Only our White Racial Deities can guarantee our future - because they are our direct biological ancestors. If you break the connection with them (especially if you accept one of the Abrahamic religions), you will lose the basis of your existence and the Hebrew parasites will devour your being.
It was only in recent years that I’ve come to the Norse faith. And I am happy with it. Hail to Odin. Hail to the gods. And hail to to the nine realms.
Odin video on Woden's day, I see what you did there 🧙
🤓
Great video as always. I agree that Odin is intuition, although I also believe that the Gods are real and that we descend from them. When I first started my spiritual journey, I started with Orthodox Christianity. My intuition led me to a church, that I attended for over a year. But then my intuition told me that the rituals, which I was attracted to, were older than the scripture. This intuition combined with dissatisfaction with scripture told me to continue my journey. Then, while going through US Army Infantry School, I had what may be referred to as an intrusive memory. A place that I had never been before, but it felt so real I could only interpret it as a memory from a past life. It inspired me to start looking into paganism. Now my journey continues as I discover more and yearn for more knowledge, all guided by my intuition. If the Gods are real, and they are our ancestors, then we have inherited their qualities. Only by studying them and venerating them may we understand those qualities and in-turn understand ourselves.
I had memories too. ❤ My journey was and is similar to yours
Odin is like a moment that occurs inside of you, when something else takes over. If it's passion, rage or the force to do something bigger then you. It's literally the allowance and focus of your will.
Odin means frenzy.
I'm still new to all the polytheism and Norse Paganism and still learning more of this. Hope you all and those of the gods welcome and understand me. Hail to the Allfather!
My favorite aspect of Ásatru is the Rune divination. It's what I have been drawn to the most.🇺🇲🙏😎🙏🇺🇲
I bought your book and its Amazing keep it up. Thank you for everything? Hail Odin
Just coming out the other side of a long term health setback, this video has inspired me to go on my own wanderings to pagan sites both here in England and across Europe. I'm overdue a long holiday
So many wonderful places to visit in England!
Birthing your wisdom out into the world after 9 months of gestation. Loved this! Thank you! Take care!
I'm taking this as a sign. I haven't checked your videos in months and now that I am again I see that you just posted this.
Lots of good ones from this year to check out!
You do the All Father justice. - I am pleased.
The quality of your videos has skyrocketed the past year or so. Thank you jacob for your time and hard effort.
Thank you 🙏 Means a lot! Being a one man band has been difficult but its been an amazing journey
Oh wow this ended up being exactly what I needed to hear today. I just had an experience where following my intuition seemed to lead me down a difficult path. Odin reached out to me once some years ago and I didn’t think I had heard from him since. But maybe it’s been indirectly through my intuition that his wisdom has been relatable. Thanks for sharing! 🧙♂️
Jacobs videos seem to catch me at critical moments too. I hope your path isn't so rough atm!
Brother..I think is awesome you went to Europe like you did!!
This couldnt have dropped at the most appropriate time, thank you Jacob and fantastic video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hear that crow in the background as you're talking...hey Huginn ;)
Totally agree with everything you've laid out here, to me Odin became one of the most revered gods bc he can embody all aspects: Warrior, King and Sage
There were so many misadventures filming this one 😂 I had two kids ride by on bikes and ask me questions. They started following the channel 😂
@@TheWisdomOfOdinOdin wants us to feed the children knowledge! 😂
I really enjoy seeing your growth and enjoying your stories thank you for sharing
🙏
you look so much happier and healthier since you went on your journey. Thank you for taking us with you ❤❤
I've noticed that too. ❤
your re-birth of 9 months is truly wonderful
Someone asked me if I was pregnant yesterday since I was gone for exactly 9 months and all I said was "well, there was a birth at the end 😂 "
What a beautiful scarf!

This is probably the first perspective on Odin I've heard that actually makes me want to connect with him. I've been very standoffish with him on my journey so far, but your interpretation hits home with me and may have opened a door I didn't think previously existed. So thank you! 💛
He will still kick your ass 😂 But its all for growth I believe
When it comes to intuition it's always been the opposite for me. It's never led me astray once, all my regrets and mistakes happened when I went against my intuition even as a young boy. And the "sharpening" that's taken place has just been me learning to have faith in it.
Hail Odin!
The bath part was hilarious thanks for the laugh.
That scene where "editing Jacob is being a dick" 😂😂😂 Informative and funny. Keep up the good work man!
This was a great video and discussion brother, the Horn continues to fill with knowledge. Awesome!
The crows in the distance talking at the beginning ☺️
happy hunters moon
Absolutely love this video! Also, I have to say, I really admire your bravery and determination to go on this amazing journey. It's an adventure I hope to take on myself later on in life. Looking up to you brother 💚
🙏 Thank you
I came to this idea some time ago that Odin is perhaps the inner intuition we sometimes experience. During my time in martial arts, it sounds like whisper giving me advice on what to do next, or when to make the right counter. More recently and since I've become a fully devoted pagan, this voice comes across as a loud and booming voice dispensing warnings, especially during crucial moments. I know this falls under the UPG territory, however this wisdom that Odin delivers I have found to be invaluable. Thank you for making this video Jacob!
Editing Jacob is hilarious!
Very much enjoyed this video thank you.
Wonderful video Jacob - thank you for this perspective!
Hail odin skull
You're right..
Intuition is just Odin giving us advice..
Nice video style of b-roll footage along with you in the corner!
Wow❤ Amazing!
So inspiring thank you ❤
Bros bathing part really caught me off guard
Hail Odinn The All-father. Skøl💀🍻
Absolutely love this especially the editing jacob part.. great job great video and absolutely stunning shots u have captured along the way
A great reflection about Odin and your wandering experiences. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Very good insight
Great video as always, very thought provoking in the way you explain thing. Please keep it coming.
Thank you for sharing this and other videos! I fall into the Norse-curious category and your videos have been very inspiring and helpful!
Love the part when you talk about Odin in relation to the season. Hadn’t really thought of that before.
Good video man!
Love this video
Amazing video! What an amazing journey, wish I could have been there with you. Hail to Odin and Blessed Be!
This journey of yours I genuinely regard as one of the most important contributions to the growing Heathen community. Truly inspiring, great stuff.
Honored, thank you 🙏
you are living the dream. thank you so much for your inspirational videos.
This was really well done. I’ve never heard anyone do this with Odin. Well done.
Thank you for this experience I understand a lot more now and I appreciate you for that.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing your insight and wisdom with us. It was a true act of bravery and love to do what you did. ❤
Thank you so much!
Great video. Hail Odin. Safe travels
This is wonderful. I live in the Rocky Mountains USA. I have enjoy learning and practicing some Native American spirituality. That is until a local Native American chastised me for cultural appropriation. I felt shamed and embarrassed. My ancestral roots are Nordic so I started studying Viking spirituality. What little I could find was so violent and disturbing! I pulled back, frustrated. Your work is incredibly inspiring to me, personally. I'm looking forward to more. Thank-you! ❤

I would not give up spiritual practices on what one person said. It doesn't belong to them anyways.how can one group of people own the gods? He thinks he's special and wanted to be a dick. The gods and this earth belong to everyone. Don't let anyone tell you different.
Remember it's not Viking spirituality, most Norse people weren't raiders and warriors. There's far more to it than dying in battle and going to Valhalla
You are the first person I've heard of that was chastised by any Native American for the reason you have stated. Maybe that particular individual is angry. As in another comment, no one owns the land, the gods, the ways of worship...any spiritual person knows this, race/background/etc has nothing to do with these connections. If what you do feels right, and you are being respectful, then continue...that person has no rights over you and your belief.
1 view, 1 minute ago! 😁 Glad to be here so soon.
Getting the early start I see!
Great insights into the wanderers character.
What you said about intuition hit me hard. I have ALWAYS followed and trusted my instincts. Even if my woefully cynical mind thought that it may push people away. I speak from heart and wear my feelings on my sleeve ( Become slightly better at that with time) My family has a long history of being hunters. I would say that my instincts are right 90% of the time. And what you say about less regrets is very true.
Great video as always! I want to thank all the people that support jacob as I'm too poor to be an amazing person 😥 I will be following for as long as I possibly can Jacob. Maybe one day I can flick you some $$ to help you write that next book, fund your next journey or build something incredible.
So many people are coming to this understanding about Odin. He is our spiritual awakening and I believe he is working overtime conveying this to us. I have seen so many of us talking about this exact realisation at a very similar time. :) I enjoyed your travels. Are you going to continue traveling? Future plans? I always enjoy watching your videos.
absolutely love this style of video. i miss the days you gave information about the gods in this faith. I think making videos about them now after taking your journey and learning so much, you could provide info for the masses that you couldn’t before 🙌🏻
This is a great video!!! He's very complex and we can connect to different parts of him for sure. I see him as "the sage" and ritual ecstacy but also friend and other things too
What did the baby think of my interpretation 😂?
At minute 15, I was hearing you in your words, of course, realize you're attuned to your observer self! You're in the world and also not of it. The shamanic view, perhaps?! I really do wonder how second nature your intuition will be in only a few months, much less decades! 🐉 And now that I've listened all the way through for the first time (because I'll be back!), I want to share that while sacrifice is important, I've chosen to feel each "shattering" as a way to gain more expansiveness. And I can choose to rename the experiences in the vocabulary best suited for my archetypes. Thank you for letting me share in your inspiring intuitive journey!
The intuition comes from experience using it
That actually makes a lot of sense to me about your Odin idea, it always felt strange to me having the life I’ve had an not realy felt connected to Odin but when you say it like that it makes sense now because my gut feeling is up there with best of them these days at 33 turns out he’s been with me whole time
❤
hi I have been also on a spiritual journey and travelling by sea on my yacht I am a druid and learned and understand many things the question of deity I really enjoy your videos I wanted to at least for you to know that thank you
I won't pull out an eye for odin thats a bit much but whenever I'm listening to a song about hem i tend to close my eye to see the world as he does
You can only learn from he that knows
Odin
12:05 I've seen those comments
Hail Odin all father
I'm only at minute 8, and I am so drawn in by your storytelling of your journey! I love that Odin is ultimately of both genders, taking on a female skin for a while in order to know a more complete human experience. The eras of his experience as a creator really resonate.
the more you use intuition the stronger it gets ,especially when used for survival.
Yes, Odin must experience what it means to be a woman in order to learn the Runes, which means women inherently understand the Runes. I am an elder woman now (68), which means I have gone through menopause, which pretty much makes me a woman/man. After studying the Runes for over 30 years now, I finally see the full wisdom of the Runes as I have passed into this phase of life. The two must become one, which is the power of three.
I find that all Gods communicate through our intuition, but I also find that they will select you based on how much they see themselves in you and how willing you are to be receptive to their voice. I happen to hear Hermes the most and he's the reason why I went Helenist. A tarot reader led me to Odin, though, as she said he's been watching over me, which I was vaguely aware of, but had no idea who this authoritative energy was.
That's such a good point about "why do you worship a dead god??" Yeah well you worship a dead man, so who are you to judge? Christians only say that because their community is more widespread and active, giving off the impression that Jesus is more alive than Odin.
I met a guy two days ago who seemed to be saying that the main reason he didn't choose Norse paganism was because the vikings are dead, so there's no real structure to the religion, so he went with Christianity instead. It felt like he was essentially saying he went Christian literally because it's popular, that's it. That's a really stupid reason to join a religion. It low-key made me feel a bit alien and ashamed of my own beliefs because they don't have as much structure as Christianity, and they're not "to the book". But then again, what Christian worships in the same way that early Christians did? Even the culture between Nazareth and some town in Kentucky are widely different, you for sure aren't doing it in the same way the people of Nazareth did it. Plus, there's so many sects of Christianity, there isn't really one correct way to do it. So how can I be judged for holding my own unique set of beliefs and following my own rules? Why is it that the freedom I seek in my religious views are somehow invalid, just because it's not "by the book"? I merely follow what the Gods tell me to the best of my ability and I go along with the negative circumstances they may give me when I don't follow their word. I don't need scripture to guide me. It really confirms to me that Christians don't really follow their own lead and want to leech off the community and hope they think for them instead.
🌹😇🌹
👌👍👌👍👌👍
🌹🌄😇🌄🌹
is odin dead? some of my friends have told me that the gods reside outside of time where beginnings and ends work differently
"Mythic time."
I plan on doing this in the next few years. Seek ancient knowledge and sites. While seeking out a complete beer and cheese tour of Europe for 6+ months
Learn your bird's and your tree's. Lol
It makes walking around different when you can recognize the songs and the tree's around you.
Well I want to find more artifacts that are not yet found yet from the stories
🙂👍.
I actually like these types of videos more than the ones lately maybe mixing more of how your world views have changed
Jacob, in the timeline of the gods, according to the eddas, where do you feel we are?
One video a week is not enough Mr Toddson 😢😂❤
Need an editor if I am going to do that much 😂
@@TheWisdomOfOdin nothing wrong with the none editing in this one 😉 😄 🤣
Jacob you should check out the audiobook or book of the laymans Havamal i thought it was pretty good puts things in a simple modern prospective
Gods are metaphors of Earth, and Odin is the conductor. For me, they are the forces of nature
in the other languages
of those lands the word od / oda
means forerunner (ovdastjottee),
sign (ovdas, ovdaseh), in front,
in the future (ovdiibeln), the one
before (ovdebas, ovdebaa), sign of
future (ovdahas, ovdahaa), in front
(ovdebist), before, as previously
(ovdlist), first, benefit (ovda,
oudd), previous spirit (ouddloz).
so basically it´s the one who walks
before or in front of others,
not that far from intuition :)
it´s a big group of words in the
sami language, smaller in finnish..
might be just co-incidence.
ot-ava also means the big dipper
and ot-so means the bear.
the common first name from that
word group is Outi, can be girl
or boy :)
or actually it´s a much bigger
group of words in finnish.. it´s
just that it´s changed vowels
(words like etu, atte).
it´s one of those magical groups
that has hundreds of words
(this one particularly to do
with future and benefit).
that said the story of Odin
doesn´t sound finnish or sami
to me (but it could be if he was
training with the locals they
might have given him a new name,
that´s how shit is done).
From now on, all ambulation in every video should be what ever this is at 14:00.
foolish is he who frets at night, and lies awake to worry a weary man when morning comes, he finds all as bad as before
Glad to see Jacob has a sense of humor. Video is very inspiring, it makes me want to pack a suit case and travel Europe for a couple of months. Keep searching for more knowledge and wisdom my friend.
I recommend to always challenge yourself when possible!
I thought Odin gave his left Eye to help man to read the Odin Runes, but cover photo shows right eye gone🤷🏻♂️
Right or left eye really doesn't matter. This would have changed dozens of times through the hundreds of years of oral sooty telling that got these stories to us. I dont believe which eye is specified in most of the source material.
As far as I am aware Odin hung from the world tree to learn the runes. He only sacrificed an eye to drink from mimirs well
@@TheWisdomOfOdin wondering since you have some knowledge. Channel lady from renaissance festival (Annual) North of Colorado Springs CO... Said "Your Triple Triangle (Valknut), Son Of Odin and government shouldn't find out!" Next weekend after traveling all 15,000 foot mountains in Colorado doing my Prayer Gridding 🙏🏻🧙🏻♂️✨ returned to same lady did another reading, asked about what she said about being together. She said "I had a boyfriend and I might have been channeled."
10:27 what the FUCK
How do I get in contact with the royal family. About me getting my house back and bringing it back to life. For the God's
Even today, the British monarchy can trace their ancestry to Odin/Woden. But what would he think of them?
I don't believe in God's, but its strange how we explore the past to understand the present.
the Gods are our distant ancestors.. the white Gods are not only our ancestors, but they are the metaphysical channel through which the White Race finds its manifestation in the physical world.
With the theory of Odin being dead why do we follow him, I like the comeback of Jesus died and christians follow him. Also I ask them well when was god born or created was it another blink or snap fingers again.
Ragnarok hasn’t happened yet so Odin ain’t dead
Here's a fun piece of useless (probably) bullshit: If the heraldry is to be believed, because I am descended from a royal bloodline (not enough to be considered royal but apparently it's there) and the king I am supposedly descended from was supposedly descended from Odin hisself that technically makes me a descendant of Odin. Not that I put much stock in such things but hey it's worth a laugh.
