I paid for this film a few years ago - I was happy to support it and the filmmaker financially. Good call on uploading it onto UA-cam for free. It’s a good documentary and deserves to reach a wider audience
I’m glad the people that payed for it weren’t angry, I didn’t pay for or even know of this documentary. I kinda felt bad when I read that people payed money for it but I got to watch it for free.
At a time when Britain's heritage seems to be under attack from every direction, documentaries like this are really important. Fantastic work and thanks for sharing.
I haven’t a single drop of Anglo-Saxon blood in my body, and yet I am so proud to live in a Nation whose traditions largely descend from these people. The Constitution of the United States is often assumed to be based off of the Roman system due to the usage of the word “Senate,” but in University I explored its origins in both Indigenous American (Iroquois) governance and, obviously, English governance. But beyond that, I traced the most important foundational structures, both political and cultural, from the Anglo-Saxons and even to Germanic systems such as the Moot/Thing. When Christianity came, the Saxons did not meekly surrender their traditions, they adopted whatever was practical and carried on with a majority of their culture. When the Normans came and imposed their will, the Barons fought back and restored their ancient rights in the Magna Carta. When Charles imposed his will on the English people, his head was taken, as was Cromwell’s (posthumously) when he crossed similar lines. Our American founding fathers; Washington, Adams, Jefferson - they were the Earls and Carls of their age, restoring their ancient traditions and privileges that were challenged by King George. I am not a Saxon by blood, I am a Saxon by language, tradition, and philosophy. I am a Saxon because I, and I alone, can choose how to live my life, and have the right to never concede my beliefs, what I believe is right, to anyone, a luxury my ancestors never received in their homelands. I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the people who would create England. May they never be forgotten.
skillfuldabest agreed 👍🏻👌🏻... I know the man in question… See my comment below. He’s made a mistake here and risks alienating a lot of his followers by associating with this man.
@TheRitualsOfTheSorcerer why should i care what an Austrian Japanese said in the 20's? i can show you much more outrageous quotes from white supremacists TODAY
Tom Roswell is a seriously important asset. Incorruptible in the face of the pressures that would leave all humanity without any understanding of who they are and from where they came. he is our shield. Hail Woden
The contemporary war against the Saxon might not be being waged on the battlefield, but it's a war nonetheless. This documentary feels like a timely reminder of the strength (and beauty!) that lies in our blood, faith and heritage. Thanks for uploading, StJ. Stirring stuff.
The 'war against the Saxon' seems like a pretty gentle war by the standards of most wars. I suspect most Iraqi, Jewish, Afghan, Vietnamese, Syrian...etc... people would be envious of the 'war against the Saxon'.
When you talk about the Ash Rune being found on a sword you can also consider how Ash is viewed in the Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem: "The ash is very tall, dear to men, stout in its trunk, its hilt is rightfully fixed, although it fights against many men."
Watching this documentary for the first time. Absolutely brilliant. Beautiful, real. The shop owner speaking about how people are being drawn to Viking age Germanic culture due to people wanting more than facebook, the internet and decadence was so wonderful and true. Some of us want our roots back, we want to be reconnected with our ancestors and their culture because it was meaningful and real. Just amazing. Great documentary, I loved it.
Survive the Jive I believe the Angles and Saxon nobility were allied with the Roman Empire and Rome collaborated with them to settle the island and supported the cause to make the whole island vassals of the Roman Empire/holy Roman Empire. I have no proof of this but it’s a theory. As many Germanic tribes were allied with Rome.
Celtic Phoenix I didn’t mean celts. They are not the same as the English. The Ruling class along with the bourgeoisie are still Germanic mostly in the south and east. English and Celtic are not the same people. Of course it’s not always black and white. Edit: I’m saying Celt but I hope people know what I mean. To much typing to go through
Oh wow I came to the comments just to see if anyone else spotted it and here it is, top comment. I had to back track the video to relisten to that segment because I was so distracted by how cool it was that a fox showed up.
I rented this a while ago, so glad it’s readily available, so atmospheric, although I already live and breathe this era, this gives me goosebumps at the The thought of or forebears
This is an odd question, but would you happen to have any thoughts on reincarnation? Laugh at me if you wish to, but I sometimes think that we were our ancestors living in these times in a past life
Excellent video Tom. In Wednesbury a local High School is called Wodensborogh, and we also have The Woden Pub. Good to see some traditions are still being kept alive, albeit in a small way. I have heard the site which is now Saint Bartholomew's Church, used to be a place of worship to Woden. Keep up the good work.
I remember when I first came across this documentary in a small online study group. My life has changed so much, thank you for everything you do Mr. Rowsell.
HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks for uploading this on UA-cam. Love and support from Persia. I'm promoting your work here in the Middle-East. Very good and accurate and informative channel. Thanks for all the hard work you've put into this documentary and your channel. Can't appreciate it enough
Superb! In this age of darkness and ignorance, your films shine a light on our shared past and illuminate the present. I've been enriched by many of your videos and hope you'll continue to provide such excellent uploads in the future. They're a light in the darkness and banality of the modern world, friend. Health to you and yours!
I've been extremely blessed these past few weeks... firstly I stumble across Standing with Stones... which was outstanding and now this, which is even more so!
I'm busy but I'll watch later, just wanted to smash like & comment. Keep fighting the good fight on the historical front my brother. Greetings from a degenerate NYC
I think our interest in history these days isn't just academic, but spiritual. We feel disconnected and the old ways allow us to feel anchored to something and then back to each other. Even though I'm of African descent, I enjoy the Scandinavian culture, so detailed, earthy and celestial. So, I now follow all things Scandinavian history on YT, even shamanism.
Our people are waking up and this video is certainly the kindling needed to fuel the flames of our culture, beliefs, and heritage. Rise as one and stand against the tide.
I envy you in an interesting way. I am Russian, yet I was born and raised far away from the ancestral lands not only of my nation, but Slavs and even Aryans in general. I mean I know some of them got as far as Tarim basin, but none got to Far East, well, until the russian cossacks did. Being born there I had no connection to the land, it wasn't our ancestral land. That one is somewhere around Ukraine, Byelorussia and the Western Russia. Seeing you talking about the ancient history of your town fills me with a kind of a strange feeling of envy for something I can never have. Probably it is the position those born in colonial territories find themselves in. Anyway, very nice work, enjoyed it a lot. Keep it up.
Maybe you will find yourself a new welcome if you change your place of living to this lands of Ukraine/Belarus you mentioned or at least visit them, feel the difference
Thanks for the amazing content as usual, will be sharing this with my grandma who i share a historical interest with of pagan medieval Europe. She needs some extra material besides books during the epidemic cheers :)
What a great documentary! Thank you for uploading this to UA-cam. As a member of the Wisconsin Historical Fencing Association (a HEMA club in Wisconsin, USA) it was really cool to see the London Longsword group make an appearance. Well done!
@Caramel Johnson lol mention a single anti white policy, stance, declaration they have made. Claiming anti-racist is anti-white is just a stupid declaration with no bases. I can also claim bing "neo pagan" is code name for being fascist and that wont make it true just because i claim so.
@Caramel Johnson im not im just not a stupid hill billy with no university education who believes any stupid youtube conspiracy video. If you actually believe there is any anti white policy going on you are just an imbecile with zero analytic skills or serious reading on sociology, history, law, anything.
@Caramel Johnson "In the US, Britain, and much of Western Europe it is not only legal but expected that whites, and white males in particular, be racially discriminated against in hiring and academic admissions. " what is your evidence for those affirmations? and the demographic changes are due to lots of social and economic factors, it is not some evil plan by anyone. At the same time there are other european countries where they don't have that problem as much. If White people are having less kids due to social factors and culture that is no proof of any anti white policy on anyone's part lol. And koreans or black people are not in any position to enact such rhetoric. Does not mean that i support it, it just not demonstrates that there is any danger of genocide or violence against whites. Tell me how many hate crimes against specifically white people are committed in any of those countries? Are there actual organized militias supporting supremacy, as there are of white nationalists? only in the case of certain african american groups could you say that and they don't seem to be committing or planning any organized assault. If you had two inches of a brain you could see why due to the history of the last couple of centuries people are way more scared about white supremacy. Goodbye, i have no time for ignorant conspiranoids.
So I know Im late to the party but wow man, what a solid documentary. Thank you, like someone else said, for making this accessible. Im Learning now how to make paganism a strong tradition in the family my wife and I have created and this sense of history and practice is invaluable. I appreciate you and the work here tremendously.

Beautiful video. My new favorite documentary. Your contributions to our people and culture will be long remembered Tom. Thank you for this work of art.
We need to start popularising the wearing of Anglo-Saxon tunics as the official national/folk dress of the English. It would be so cool to see people taking pride in their heritage and to finally see an official folk dress to share with the world. Anyone else?
@@Survivethejive Of course, but we have no official go-to outfit that comes out for special occasions in our national life. The Chinese routinely wear qipao to weddings (and even formal political events), the Japanese their kimonos etc. but what about the English?
@@Imperial_Boltgun Absolutely! The British style being the best. I would just love us to also recognise something more 'folk', though. Anything to try and reconnect our people with our roots. I really want to hang out with those Viking guys who run the shop!
@@leosmith8596 I know what you mean. Although wearing an outfit from over 1000 years ago to me seems no different than Saxons ditching their gear and wearing something even more primitive from over 1000 years previous.
Tom, thanks for uploading this. It's rare that I find something so inspiring online that literally influences and enriches my views. I'm glad Hertha blessed your video with a furry friend.
Absolutely fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed this. I thought the first guy you were interviewing at Waylands Smithy was Matt Lucas for a minute!! Bizarre too that while watching this in my adopted home of Yorkshire, my old home of Walthamstow should be featured. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Good work, thank you very much. From one of your Cornish subscribers: 'let bygones be bygones.' BTW I did my teaching prac at the Downs School circa1990-1, it is a beautiful area.
This video has made me think. I first liked it for the history lesson but noticed the T-Shirts of the Longsword School. It made me think some more about other, more current things and how it relates to where my ancestors came from. From that, I can say that it is a shame that one business that derives it's very essence from European heritage and from European's own past struggles must today feel the need to virtue signal over a modern political agenda veiled in another culture's past struggles in order to continue to keep their business safe from that other culture's current retribution if they do not show such homage to them. The school can say whatever they like but, I think with the current times and fact that any business in many cities that does not bow to the "European culture today=Racism today" will get boycotted, harassed, burnt or shut down in some way without some form of placating statement or donation given to the supposed "currently oppressed" that it is obvious to discern the primary intent of the T-shirt. So, if modern Christianity and modern political liberalism has driven those of European heritage in a form of self-flagellation to the extent of having to label their ancestors, their children and theirselves a racist just to appease certain groups of modern people that want to enforce their culture upon the West via false victimhood yet then to insist their culture is being appropriated to the point I must pay them for my daughter's hairstyle... If the modern lawmakers of same heritage profess to be good Christians and good neighbors go on to make laws giving educational, financial, work and social care with our tax money to all groups but those of European ancestry or any other group they deem "ancestrally privileged" (but not currently factually & legally) then.... I will freely give up modern Christianity and politics in favor older forms of faith that produce leaders more in favor of their own people than appeasing the fake modern victimhood of another group that threatens to destroy my children's future heritage and culture in favor of their own. No Apologies to nor further discussion with, modern priests, politicians and other cultures required. Their zealots can go sell their ideological T-shirts to some other people, blaming someone else, somewhere else.
i tried toi purchase this few months back forgot to notify you that it only gave me the choice to buy/watch in search of anatolian earth mother, and not runes to ruins. definitely worht the wait, ill support you on patreon though.. keep up the great work tom!
@Johannes Terzis That's an excellent point. Every language evolves and often becomes grammatically simpler whilst simultaneously becoming syntactically more complex. One inevitably placates the other to maintain cohesion and intelligibility. Nostalgia for the archaic is understandable, but English remains beautifully unique and thoroughly precise when spoken by someone adequately equipped to wield it.
Johannes Terzis Wonderfully put. Native speakers often assume that English is ‘easy’ or ‘uninteresting’ merely as a consequence of its position as a secondary lingua franca for most of the world, but exposure to and theoretical understanding of a wide variety of other languages makes it clear just how peculiar English is. I will say, though, that it’s both a shame and a mystery that little to no solid traces of Celtic can be found in the language; it’d be in keeping with the rich tapestry of influences to have such an important piece of the historical puzzle included.
@@Floral_Green - English may be ‘easy’ to learn but it’s devilishly hard to master. It also has probably the largest vocabulary of any modern language.
6:23 That’s so random, I’ve known Andrew all my life and never knew he took part in this documentary. The documentary is excellent by the way and thanks for the upload!
@@ostracized666ther2 I used to have a "Love Music Hate Racism" t-shirt. Super cringe indeed. Some groups are just bad news and need to stop leeching off white people.
@@ostracized666ther2 If you're blue pilled on race and culture your comment makes sense. But human beings are tribal for a reason. Science even proved that 6 month old babies show an in-group preference for their own race.
Only partially through the video. There has been a lot of talk in certain Heathen circles about you being “racist” and thus not reputable. Aside from that not being logically sound, you’re literally featuring a group of people in shirts saying “Fighters Against Racism.” And the first two videos I’ve watched of yours were on Anglo-Saxon Paganism. Strictly scholarly, well-researched, expertly presented, and very Indo-European. Loving your content so far.
So I used to be one of those "woke" people who would tell everyone STJ and Red Ice were racists. Now I am finally awake and have returned to my Germanic-European roots. I know now through the woke experience that, if you love your own ("white") people and European culture, you are 100% automatically a Nazi. They convinced half of "white" America that Trump was Hitler and all Patriots/Veterans (like myself) were Nazis. I have tried to reach out to STJ to apologize for being so woke that I could not see the reality of what has been happening to our people. I will always believe all people are equal on certain levels, but we are also not equal on other levels. Doesn't make one "race" superior to another, but it does make us different, and that's a great thing. That's true diversity. Not this forced multiculturalism BS.
26:00 The British ash tree eradicated by unchecked imports via Europe, doesn't that sound like the British people because being eradicated by unchecked imports via Europe?

When you talk about the Ash Rune being found on a sword you can also consider how Ash is viewed in the Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem:
"The ash is very tall, dear to men,

The Ash tree was used for spear shafts and Arrows, it's a strong wood with good tensile strength, you can also make good Bows from it.

We already have many traditional folk costumes!
@@Survivethejive Of course, but we have no official go-to outfit that comes out for special occasions in our national life. The Chinese routinely wear qipao to weddings (and even formal political events), the Japanese their kimonos etc. but what about the English?
@@leosmith8596 We invented suits. An outfit so stylish and timeless that the entire world copied us.
@@Imperial_Boltgun Absolutely! The British style being the best. I would just love us to also recognise something more 'folk', though. Anything to try and reconnect our people with our roots. I really want to hang out with those Viking guys who run the shop!
@@leosmith8596 I know what you mean. Although wearing an outfit from over 1000 years ago to me seems no different than Saxons ditching their gear and wearing something even more primitive from over 1000 years previous.
Reading about the Staffordshire Hoard-terrific history information about my people the Anglo-Saxons.Great video this!
I paid for and watched this when you released it. Great documentary. I showed it to a friend at the time and he was impressed as well.
Every Englishman is a descendent of Alfred The Great, and therefore a descendent of Woden.
Keep your heads, you'll be called on in the coming decade.
I've heard he was a bit of a shagger but I doubt we're all descended from him
Tom, thanks for uploading this. It's rare that I find something so inspiring online that literally influences and enriches my views. I'm glad Hertha blessed your video with a furry friend.
Great stuff! I love hearing about this folklore! Thanks for keeping it alive and available.
A great film, glad to see your quality is constant.
Wonderful, and a much needed bit of encouragement
Thanks for posting it for us. Been wanting to watch it. Appreciate your work.
Thanks so much for putting this up on a free viewing platform. Most entertaining and educational. I love the fox (?) @46.18!
Well done you cleaned up very nicely and have presented a story I watch more than once.
Rented it twice last year, really pleased to see this drop into my emails.
My family, multiple generations, as well as myself, grew up in Walthamstow. It was surprisingly nice to see it here today.
William Morris :)
Superb documentary, the commentary, visual & music all fits in together.
Definitely can recommend to others, great work!
That was a really good documentary. I wish I hadn't waited so long to watch it.
Great Doc....I shall now go listen to the whole Hammerheart album to complete the experience...thank you
To be sure, our blood is our home. I love my kin, I love my volk. Hail, ancestors. Hail, Allfather.
Looking good, Thomas, loving the casual look
I love icelandic/ old Nordic names
So glad i found this! Thankyou Tom ❤
This is wonderful!
Thank you Thomas, for the work you are doing
Great documentary. Much thanks. 👌👌👌
Brilliant work, the soul is still ignited!
Absolutely fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed this. I thought the first guy you were interviewing at Waylands Smithy was Matt Lucas for a minute!! Bizarre too that while watching this in my adopted home of Yorkshire, my old home of Walthamstow should be featured. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
You should make more of these, Tom. Excellent work.
Great episode.. the synthwave is a nice touch
Good work, thank you very much. From one of your Cornish subscribers: 'let bygones be bygones.' BTW I did my teaching prac at the Downs School circa1990-1, it is a beautiful area.
This video didn't showed up in my subscription feed for some reason. It did showed in my suggestions though
Wonderful production, truly crafting your art, thank you. We will survive , when we only realize the threats and speak freely about them.
Top quality work. The cinematography was very pleasant to the eye.
This video has made me think. I first liked it for the history lesson but noticed the T-Shirts of the Longsword School. It made me think some more about other, more current things and how it relates to where my ancestors came from.
From that, I can say that it is a shame that one business that derives it's very essence from European heritage and from European's own past struggles must today feel the need to virtue signal over a modern political agenda veiled in another culture's past struggles in order to continue to keep their business safe from that other culture's current retribution if they do not show such homage to them. The school can say whatever they like but, I think with the current times and fact that any business in many cities that does not bow to the "European culture today=Racism today" will get boycotted, harassed, burnt or shut down in some way without some form of placating statement or donation given to the supposed "currently oppressed" that it is obvious to discern the primary intent of the T-shirt.
So, if modern Christianity and modern political liberalism has driven those of European heritage in a form of self-flagellation to the extent of having to label their ancestors, their children and theirselves a racist just to appease certain groups of modern people that want to enforce their culture upon the West via false victimhood yet then to insist their culture is being appropriated to the point I must pay them for my daughter's hairstyle... If the modern lawmakers of same heritage profess to be good Christians and good neighbors go on to make laws giving educational, financial, work and social care with our tax money to all groups but those of European ancestry or any other group they deem "ancestrally privileged" (but not currently factually & legally) then.... I will freely give up modern Christianity and politics in favor older forms of faith that produce leaders more in favor of their own people than appeasing the fake modern victimhood of another group that threatens to destroy my children's future heritage and culture in favor of their own.
No Apologies to nor further discussion with, modern priests, politicians and other cultures required. Their zealots can go sell their ideological T-shirts to some other people, blaming someone else, somewhere else.
i tried toi purchase this few months back forgot to notify you that it only gave me the choice to buy/watch in search of anatolian earth mother, and not runes to ruins. definitely worht the wait, ill support you on patreon though.. keep up the great work tom!
Great documentary. A DVD of this would have been nice.
Eald Englisc sounds much better than its modern counterpart!
@Johannes Terzis That's an excellent point. Every language evolves and often becomes grammatically simpler whilst simultaneously becoming syntactically more complex. One inevitably placates the other to maintain cohesion and intelligibility. Nostalgia for the archaic is understandable, but English remains beautifully unique and thoroughly precise when spoken by someone adequately equipped to wield it.
Johannes Terzis Wonderfully put. Native speakers often assume that English is ‘easy’ or ‘uninteresting’ merely as a consequence of its position as a secondary lingua franca for most of the world, but exposure to and theoretical understanding of a wide variety of other languages makes it clear just how peculiar English is. I will say, though, that it’s both a shame and a mystery that little to no solid traces of Celtic can be found in the language; it’d be in keeping with the rich tapestry of influences to have such an important piece of the historical puzzle included.
@@Floral_Green - English may be ‘easy’ to learn but it’s devilishly hard to master.
It also has probably the largest vocabulary of any modern language.
brilliant documentary, will have to watch it a few more times
This was absolutely fantastic entertainment, informative and absorbing, thanks for the upload and hard work
This is really, really high quality!
May you have a good summer solstice!
That was beautiful my man at the end you knocked it out of the park.
A particularly decent documentary. 10/10 👍
6:23 That’s so random, I’ve known Andrew all my life and never knew he took part in this documentary. The documentary is excellent by the way and thanks for the upload!
11:48 Omg what a cringe t-shirt
for racists maybe
Being against racism is cringe to you? Pathetic.
@@ostracized666ther2 I used to have a "Love Music Hate Racism" t-shirt. Super cringe indeed. Some groups are just bad news and need to stop leeching off white people.
@@skillfuldabest The t shirt itself might be cringe, i get it. Being against racism should be a fundamental thought i believe. Have a great day!
@@ostracized666ther2 If you're blue pilled on race and culture your comment makes sense. But human beings are tribal for a reason. Science even proved that 6 month old babies show an in-group preference for their own race.
Only partially through the video. There has been a lot of talk in certain Heathen circles about you being “racist” and thus not reputable. Aside from that not being logically sound, you’re literally featuring a group of people in shirts saying “Fighters Against Racism.”
And the first two videos I’ve watched of yours were on Anglo-Saxon Paganism. Strictly scholarly, well-researched, expertly presented, and very Indo-European. Loving your content so far.
If you ask such people for evidence they can only allude to guilt by association
So I used to be one of those "woke" people who would tell everyone STJ and Red Ice were racists. Now I am finally awake and have returned to my Germanic-European roots. I know now through the woke experience that, if you love your own ("white") people and European culture, you are 100% automatically a Nazi. They convinced half of "white" America that Trump was Hitler and all Patriots/Veterans (like myself) were Nazis. I have tried to reach out to STJ to apologize for being so woke that I could not see the reality of what has been happening to our people. I will always believe all people are equal on certain levels, but we are also not equal on other levels. Doesn't make one "race" superior to another, but it does make us different, and that's a great thing. That's true diversity. Not this forced multiculturalism BS.
26:00 The British ash tree eradicated by unchecked imports via Europe, doesn't that sound like the British people because being eradicated by unchecked imports via Europe?
Beautiful, and dare I say, very indo european.
