Welcome to The Wisdom of Odin! I’m Jacob Toddson, and I created this channel to explore ancient wisdom and spiritual practices from around the world. My journey began with Norse Paganism, and now I travel globally, uncovering knowledge on historical religions, shamanism, plant medicines, and various spiritual paths. Together, we explore how these ancient teachings can inspire and guide us toward a more balanced and meaningful future.
On this channel, I aim to foster unity and understanding across spiritual traditions, beyond boundaries of race, sexuality, gender, or politics. You’ll find an inclusive, open-minded space free from divisive content, drama, and bias. Join me as we discover and share the timeless wisdom that can heal and uplift us all.
Thank you so much for having me on, Jacob. And thanks to everyone who listened. Now let's get out there and seek the magic in the world while bringing our own magic to the world. Hail the Wanderer, in all His forms.
Thank you for such a beautiful conversation. I am a new pagan and honestly I don’t know where to go. The sources are very few and far in between, I greatly enjoy all your videos 😊
I'm deeply enjoying your company and guidance on my parallel descent into madness...
Great talk!! So much resonated. Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot. Lots of wisdom. These talks are how wisdom is spread and how we learn from one another!! ❤ And thank you at the end for saying the heros journey ends with the gift but right now we're in the trial time. Very interesting and hopeful.
That's right... its the Year of the Snake. Time to shed the old skin and make way for the new one.
This is where Jacob traveling these last couple of years has been helpful for us fathers who are unable to do so. I recently commented on a video saying I wished to meet for a conversation that would benefit us both; it appears "we" got to have the conversation here, which blew my mind. I would still love to meet up if you are ever near Ft. Boonesboro.
Thank you for listening in and I'm glad you found it beneficial, truly.
This, & the fatherhood interview have been my favorites so far. Hearing others’ journeys is how we can better heal ourselves.
Absolutely. As a father myself, we got this.
Thank you for this conversation, very helpful.
Thanks for listening!
Jacob, I am 100% in agreement with the Good medicines, but Bad Doctors! Love that!
Please you two come back soon. Thanks for letting me engage in the conversation ❤ Ben is an inspiring teacher.
Thank you so much for listening. I'd love to return.
High-five for Avatar! 💙 I realized only a couple of years ago that Avatar is, beyond anything, very pagan movies. It draws heavily on themes from all over the world, from Amazonian tribes and northern Native Americans, to India and possibly even the Norse.
Wonderful podcast! I learned a lot!
Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you for listening.
We are the hands and feet of Christ, Ben. You're speaking the truth to power brother !
Amen. One Body, many members. 😀
Very cool to listen to Ben's perspective as i am from Perry county (neighboring county to where ben is from) and no nobody who views life as i do
I found jacobs channel after recently discovering i have Irish heritage and resonating with paganism more than christianity
Loved this podcast and i wish ben had a youtube Channel
He already wants to do another episode lol
Oh man I had many a wild night in the hills of Perry county back in the day! Thanks so much for listening to this.

You hit the nail on the head with narcissists, and I believe that is our main problem with the world today, from the common man and woman (oftentimes your own family members and friends, probably you) to so-called "world leaders". Everyone is so incredibly selfish, and the moment they get attention and fame, they turn to narcissism. People without attention and fame still show this selfishness, and I believe for the last several generations, people don't mature emotionally beyond puberty. Our culture and society is made by a bunch of overgrown children.
Well said.
Yeah thanks for noting it's not just the elites that behave like this
@ It's a facet of the human experience anyone can fall into.
0:46 from SC. A lot of my family goes to a church called Resurrection 😂😂
He is a chaos magician. I feel he's like the White Witch (Orange Witch?) and where are entering a time we're it's always winter but never Christmas. What gift's with Father Christmas (aka The All Father) bring us?
I think the gift's He brings is each other. He sees all from the High Throne and works within the realms to bring balance to Midgard. Of that I am certain.
Back to listen a second time
I see a lot of word meanings being gravely misquoted in various circles, and I just want to say you got "religion" wrong, because this is important. I can't find anything on it meaning "to bind". Wiktionary is reliable, and it says this:
Attested in classical Latin (1st century BCE); perhaps from the unattested verb *religō (“to observe, to venerate”) + -io, which could go back (via Proto-Italic *legō (“to care”)) to Proto-Indo-European *h₂leg-. ) Frequently used by Cicero, who alternatively linked the word with relegō. Afterwards, the word was linked (mainly by Christian authors) to religō and obligātiō."
But then it adds:
"De Vaan (2008:341), too, tentatively suggests a connection to ligō (“to bind”)."
So, does it come from "religo", which means to observe or venerate, or from "ligo", which means to bind?
I think the former is pretty obvious. 🙂
My mistake. I think at it's best religion means to venerate higher ideals. Although it seems like it most often exists to bing people to fear and control.
Mid life? Come on guys!! I thought you just turned 30????? Haha.
😂
Hey I'm older than I've ever been up to this point... 🤣
That is funny. I'm 34 and I would not even claim to be in my mid-life
@thecriticandtheuncle5784 Same. 😂 I won't be claiming midlife until I'm at least 50.
I was born in 1958. I feel so grateful to be hearing the truth being broadcast by two such thoughtful humans. Both have a great sense of humor, and Jacob is becoming a masterful host.

This perfectly illustrates what's wrong with youtube. You guys have just enough knowledge to be dangerous but you don't have a thorough understanding of theological history or theology. You get some things right but you get a lot of things terribly wrong. If you want a religious education, go take some courses. Don't try to get it from youtube.
