Greetings from germany and many thanks for sharing your knowledge! 🖖
We might consider that the lack of sources mentioning healing rituals in the Norse sources could be due to who wrote them down, i.e. Christian monks who reserved healing magic solely for their god and very possibly may have hidden the practice from memory in order to kill it.
Or omited it in order not to get killed themselves
I'd say that's true of most rituals, the few we have left are often Christianized. Even the Anglo Saxon rune poem references Jesus, and it's believed that all the kennings for Jesus were originally kennings for Baldur. A lot of that is because Jesus is portrayed as a Sun/summer god in skaldic poetry, and we have barely any kennings for Baldur.
God Jól Thor! Hope you feast well and your year's crop is healthy and plenty!
You're the professor I wish I had in college.....
I ❤ this channel and Learn so much. Very Important to keep Ancestry Alive! 💥💪💯
Great video as always mate! The Germanic/Norse people certainly had techniques of “vision quests” or “spirit journeys” as you, Maria Kvilhaug and others have noted. The myths and legendary sagas are full of references to these states and techniques.
Keep up the great work and hope you’ve got some more mythic interpretation videos on the horizons, they are wealth of ideas for Nordic Animist Pagans and do a great job of dispelling the cringe haha.
Cheers mate!
“vision quests” or “spirit journeys” -best job ever
Maria Kvilhaug is the #1 reason I got back in touch with my Pagan roots. Huge wealth of knowledge that woman. I'd love to see a collab between their channel's
@@michaeldoerksen2841 that would be an incredible conversation! Great to hear you’ve reawakened your own pagan roots, we must keep it alive and well
As Michael said… Thor, a conversation/collaboration with you and Maria Kvilhaug would be an absolute gold mine to see. Let’s make it happen!!!
Jacob Toddson wisdom of Odin says,” the undead is not called draugr, it’s called troll-curse or spirit or restless spirit,”. Glamr was not called a draugr but he was called a tröll. Is this true? I get different answers.
a video about Tyr would be nice!!
He's already done videos on Tyr
@@guyh.4553 Not specifically on Tyr and the function of Tyr.He have done some videos that include Tyr but he is not explaiin the function of Tyr like he have done with odin and thor.shorry for my english.ofcourse i am not complain, his videos are great but it will be nice if he will do a video about what energy tyr represents.
@@guyh.4553 a! he upload a nice 40 minutes video on Tyr 3 hours before your comment
Let me say HAIL THOR for a Thorsday
🌩
I've noticed a striking similarity between Norse cosmos and a the realms of shamanic journeys. Upper world where the teachers are, the middle word where we are, and the lower world where helping spirits and power animals are. All held together by the visualization of the world tree
Now I’m curious if the eight legged animals were a dual soul type representation. A creature of both spirit & flesh making it of both.
It's a spider horse
Like a Spider, Squid or Octopi 🍷
From my experience and practice Odins horse who has eight legs represents odin being connected to all 8 directions. That’s how he travels the worlds.
Jacob Toddson wisdom of Odin says,” the undead is not called draugr, it’s called troll-curse or spirit or restless spirit,”. Glamr was not called a draugr but he was called a tröll. Is this true? I get different answers.
@@taylorfusher2997 Jacob toddson from wisdom of odin is the biggest dumbass when it comes to norse practice, if you like new age spirituality that does not strive to do the practice like our ancestors did, then you can listen to this redhead, otherwise i'd stop watching the bs he puts out on yt, nothing he says has anything to do with the way the norse people practiced, all his information is from the eddas and he takes them literally.
As always very interesting, much thanks for sharing.
Great as always!
Greetings from Sweden! ✋🏻💙💛🇸🇪
Thanks for the video ⚔️
Literally seen this tree and a horse during meditation last night
Ty for continuing your amazing videos my friend .. I hope life is treating you very well 😎 ✌️ ❤️
Tack för en lärorik video 🙂
For blacksmithing and shamanism, I know that in the Bronze Age that was a pretty common connection. One kind of bronze involves arsenic which caused hallucinations. A lot of African cultures, the Yorobo and their god Ogun (spelling) come to mind, have blacksmiths still connected to shamanism.
just discovered this channel and i love it. Btw you look like a such viking chad
what do you think of Urd Brunn and Swans with clear water and the völvan that waters yggdrasill
That sounds very interesting. I definitely want to understand more about this. Great suggestion.
Im curious if you seen any of asha logos work. I think you would appreciate it. The channel is on YT
Hello from norway, i love your videos👍🏻🍺
Its like in Finnland. We have different gods and myths,also the shamanismus its the same with siberian and even Little bit of Indien shamanismus
WE are ONE. THE ARYAN PEOPLE NEED TO REDISCOVER THEIR ROOTS
You're awesome!
Very interesting. The music at the end sounds great too. Does it have a title?
for the nganasans (uralic speaking
people) it´s an 8-legged wild deer
whose one horn is summer and other
horn winter :)
(the traditional seasons)
with nenets shamans it´s a 7-horned
sacred deer that can be called in for
demanding tasks (in other tales
a 7-winged bird).
(they could be constellations,
because the big dipper is the
heavenly elk, so when they say
6-legged beast turns into 4-legged
one, might be a change in a
constellation)
they are the high gods in this
worldview, the most powerful
beings that can be called for help,
who grant the shaman their powers
and give lesser helpers.
but it can be argued that they
were still ancestral shamans,
originally (because the shamans
had names like "7-headed one").
different from the lesser
spirits or helper animals that act on
behalf of the shaman (the shaman is
basically the narrator of their
adventures).
you can also make a separation to
those that followed an ancestral
shaman (spirit=grandmother) and
those that actually married the main
spirit (spirit=lover).
also you can argue that the main
spirit is the ride / boat / vehicle
(whose shape the shaman takes
when travelling in the other).
sometimes it´s instead a tree or
rock that resembles a human (which
sounds older to me than imagined
things, or maybe a gender difference).
it can be argued that it was more
about putting yourself in the role
of the animal than imagining things
("oh my little fly, rise higher,
i want to see further").
also the worlds that they visited
weren´t static (different every time,
even different on the way there
and back, which could be compared
to dreams or memories, they literally
say that the main instructions came
from dreams).
point being it was very local, anyone who says it was "this and
this" is wrong (it was all of it, and
much more, but much less for a
single practicioner, you don´t need
that much shit, keep it simple
smart).
I also remember seeing this rare 8 legged depiction of the Wonder Stag, sometimes also referred to as Táltosszarvas.
One Hungarian folk tale also depicts the horse with 6.
hi could you make some videos about the nordic people in southern europe for example romania greece serbia and the balkans generally? Also keep up the good work!
Is it fair to say that Odin can also mean the Mad One?
💯 Your thinking of the modern understanding of “mad”. It is probably more closely related to frenzy in definition at the time, than addled minds.
@@kariannecrysler640 I see, thanks for the info man.
@@zarkokaradzin5380 ✌️💚🤘 great question to ask!
To Norse magic and belief:
Jacob Toddson wisdom of Odin says,” the undead is not called draugr, it’s called troll-curse or spirit or restless spirit,”. Glamr was not called a draugr but he was called a tröll. Is this true? I get different answers.
Yggdrasil 🙏
I have worked with Mani for a long time, and He has helped me through quite a bit. I was wondering if you have any sources for more information on Him? I know He is mentioned with Sol in an Edda but have not found much else. Any direction you could send me is much appreciated!
We view the staff, as völur, as the axis mundi as well.
I remember two past life as a shaman/witch in the Viking age Denmark and Iceland.
A German Scholar (Wolf-Dieter Storl) wrote a theory that the eight legs of sleipnir (or the other creatures) represent the four pallbearers (4x2=8) meaning that you have to die (or come close to death) to travel to the otherworld. I don’t know how long humans have been carried by 4 people to their grave but it makes sense to me.
I didn't know about the connection between smiths and shamanism. The sky father of the Proto-Uralic people before Ukko was called "Ilma ićä." He became the Finnish smith god Ilmarinen.
When was the first record of Norse beliefs? When do we think it started?
Gleðileg Jól!
🙇♀️
7:09 dat looks like... hol up🤪
The word brunnr sound similar to a serbian word Bunar(well)
Or the German „Brunnen“- „well“
They are the same word.
👍
I imagine Ragnar from the Vikings show in the later seasons with the chinese prisoner smoking the magic puff playing tricks with snakes and other animals creating wild stories and whatnot.
native tribe knowledge devil tower in Wyoming usa was a geant tree connected to all other trees
i believe was more of those tree in world
Lots of similarities between Odin and Vedic Rudra-Shiva
Can you explain how?
@@Brothers-10-10 There is a good book that goes into detail called The One Eyed God by Krenshaw. But in short they are both Gods of divine frenzy with lots of mythic parallels
👍👍👍👍
I'm convinced that I'm the one who knows what they're talking about.
Actually shamanism is usually a teach yourself thing, once you go into the spirit world you gonna get taught there. So each of the shamanic people have different states of knowledge, but the whole thing is everywhere the same. Like the drums, whistles and harps. You gonna find a lot of similiarties of Odins practice with buddhist doctrine and native american practices. Even from the native americans not every tribe was as spiritual as others. The thing of ripping his eye out for example is a typical display of letting go of your body, it shows the progress he has made and was prerequisite for further advancement. Similiar to native americans cutting of fingers or hanging down from hooks in their flesh, a thing that is done in india even today. just cause they do not seem similiar, does not mean they do not use the same principle. it depends on the level of the practitioner.
you spelled parallels wrong in the thumbnail
what we know about mystical creatures as 🐉 and mermaids in vikings world ?
A crazy hippy working with a frenzy type of spirit piercing himself and hanging from a tree to gain knowledge is a lot like a native American Sundance ,kinda interesting
I am sure you have heard about the god Ülgen... I am also sure you know whose god is he as well. 🙂
You talked about Siberians, Yakuts, (even Mongols)... please don't be shy to say the real blood-roots, nation, and culture they are from.
show old norse translation below english transliterations of key terms and names?
also id prefer real images ovre ai. i dont think ai images add much tot he vid. u can make the vid more entertaining than a guy talking to the camera, but still make it educational, using real images.
