I know you have a very small channel right now...but hear me out, your videos are going to start to blow up. Keep up the great work and focus on the quality content and you’ll get there eventually. I really love the dedication to the goths, they are unsung heroes of Europe!
Thank you kindly brother! It is of course nice to be appreciated. Yes Goths and Gothic language of course have a special place in our group; there will be more videos about Goths in the future. We try to be as factual as we can; however sometimes, especially when we talk of the old religion we need to combine our own experiences with facts, for one simple reason - so little is known about Gothic prechristian religion. If you (or anyone else) have a suggestion how to improve ourselves or what kind of video to do - please let us know. Also we refuse to have patreons, or make money, we do all this in honour of the old Gods, our ancestors, and our beloved mother Europe. Hails!

I am 18 years old, and I will complete my boxing path in order to gain glory, and then I will participate in the war in Russia, and then I will die on the battlefield, but does Leo understand all English and Arabic languages and understand me?

I really enjoyed the video! As a speaker of English, Danish and German it's fascinating to see the similarities and the differences between Gothic and the modern West Germanic languages (English and German). Also if you wrote the prayers they were very beautiful. Keep up the good work and thank you for introducing me to such a beautiful language! Hail Grimnir!
Well, these are kind words indeed 👍. Yes Gothic as an east Germanic languages is a distant relative to modern Germanic languages. It was greatly influenced by old Saxon language. Regarding the prayers, yes we as a team use these prayers in our everyday practice. We talk to the gods exclusively in Gothic and on ocassions in reconstructed proto Germanic. Cheers!
@@cattubuttas4749 Well, after leaving Scandinavian peninsula (in their legends Scandza), Goths have landed in what is today Northern Poland and remained there for quite some time... their neighbours were the old Saxons. Thus, Gothic language was influenced by the old Saxon (and perhaps vice versa). Later Goths moved to the shores of the Black Sea (modern day Ukraine) and Saxons, with Angles, and Jutes, and some other minor Germanic tribes moved to and conquered modern day England.

@@Wulthus And thank yóu! I remember the Codex Argentis and the language of the fourth century blew my mind as a youngster. My Frisian great-grandfather called his 'heit' (father) still 'Oate'.

Though Frisian is a Westgermanic language and closest cousin to English, a lot of archaic words still survive ('fûgel', 'hynst' e.g.) Hearing Gothic is reconnecting with them for me and remembering where we came from. Also, gods like Tiw(a)z, Weada(n), Thunaer and Fria were strong here as archeology, runic inscriptions and the days of the week clearly show (Tiisdei, Woansdei, Ton(g)ersdei, Freed).

@@MrEnaric You are right, one of the reasons why Gothic, as an east Germanic language, has many similar words with west Germanic languages is rather significant influence of the old Saxon language.

@@Wulthus Do you have blueprints to prayers for Thor for example...I've been writing but I cant get the oompf factor where it feel thunderous and lively
Our team is very much traditionalist, and do not believe in polluting, watering down the Old Germanic Faith (what little is left of it) with New age/Wicca/Kabbalah/Satanism and elements of similar practicies. Therefore, we do not wish to translate that into Gothic....feel free to ask elswere!
I do wonder if similar prayers were said to the Northern Berber Sky God Itherther, Northern Berbers live in the North Regions of North Africa and still do now.
Well, I remember meeting Berbers long ago in Tunisia. They had white camels and, many of them had blue eyes! That was strange. Perhaps a Vandalic influence? Who knows? However, they are an Afroasiatic group. They are not IndoEuropeans, and the myth of Itherther is different from common IE myth of the Sky Father (DyausPther). How they prayed to their gods, I personally don't know.
@@WulthusThey are of Western Asian origin, from populations similar to the Indo-Europeans and Anatolians. There are records of tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Berbers in the Canary Islands, there was never a Germanic invasion there.
@@dhickey86 You need different deity... However, if you are seeing gods through the prism of such an extreme selfishness "I need (gods to do this and that) ...", and if that something you need is so prosaic as magical sorcery (lightning bolt hitting steel) then you are much better just watching Marvel blockbusters... and leaving the Germanic gods altogether. I am affraid that prayers you can find here, in this channel, go for something else. We like to believe, and it is our goal and hope, they reach deeper into the essence of both gods and humans, also both on a physical and metaphysical level. Mechanically reciting prayers or reciting them for the most basic needs is like talking under water. To properly say a prayer, so that the entities we refer to as gods hear them, and listen to them... even the shortest prayers, which are often the most powerful, requires mental (and physical) strength, healthy fear and true respect of the gods. If you want "magical sorcery" then you better find something else. How you came up with "magical sorcery" is beyond me🤔.
I'm a real life viking what do you mean choose another "DIETY"? I worship Odin for years, my friend have died for Odin. I'm asking for guidance this isn't a gams.
Since we have been classically educated it wasn't that hard for us to learn Gothic and then ProtoGermanic. The Vikings spoke Old Norse language. Both Gothic and Old Norse are Germanic languages and share many common traits. However, Gothic is older and by the time Viking era began Goths as a separate nation no longer existed, and Gothic was no longer spoken. As for where can you learn both languages - at Univeristies or by yourself.
I have an important question. I am 18 years old, and I will complete my boxing path in order to gain glory, and then I will participate in the war in Russia, and then I will die on the battlefield, but does Leo understand all English and Arabic languages and understand me? ❤️🇳🇴🇫🇷❤️
I am curious about the main illustration that was used for the video, (The Old Man against the tree [Odin]) Where is that taken from? A particular book?
They aren't historical, since very few of the prayers are, but come from our experience. However, when we made the video, it was more about the Gothic language, as such, then about the religious practice; but certain amount of people seem to haveliked them, and started using them as their own, in their everyday practice. We are fine with that.
when you consider that the Goths converted to Christianity VERY early on, that means prayers like these would have been made a LOOOONG time ago (like 3rd century and earlier) idk why I find that interesting, as if it being a much earlier time also adds a sense of mysticism to it? like this was before the Hunnic invasions pushed the Goths out into Rome, when they were living (sorta) peacefully in the Carpathians and the steppes, the history of their culture and lifestyles lost to time, yet knowing they were culturally related to the later Germanic invaders like the Saxons and Norse... it just makes it feel, magical? lol
Well, thank you for an interesting comment! However, we chose Gothic because we a) live in countries once inhabited by the Goths b) we consider ourselves to be (distant) relatives of the Old Goths and c) Gothic is the oldest attested Germanic language that can be almost fully reconstructed despite the fact that it hasn't been actively spoken since the fall of Ostrogothic kingdom and since Visigoths decided to abandon their language. Thus we speak to the Old gods in Gothic because we feel closer to the gods and to the Old times...
Hi. This word is not a proto-Germanic but proto-Norse. Proto-Germanic version would be Wolthuthewaz. The meaning is "servant of Ullr", Ullr being one of the Aesir asociated with archery and skiing. Cheers!
Dont blame me on, but that existed and known eastern Germanic language sounds more like Eald Ænglisc than any northern or western Germanic languages. May it be just voice actors are English speaking person who just roleplay as storyteller just it is extinct language?
Well, to be honest we are talking about a language that's been "dead" for almost 1500 years. There aren't any clues as to how exactly Gothic sounded (of course). In any case all the Germanic languages were similar regarding the pronunciation (the way they sounded) at the times Gothic was still spoken (not to mention the protoGermanic times, when this distinction was almost non existant). Thus, all of us who are trying to "use" Gothic today have our own ways of sounding. You may compare it to Latin. There is classical pronunciation and ecclesiastical with all it's sub variants (italianized, anglicized etc). Since Goths had so many different non Germanic allies (Slavs and non Slavs) it is only logical that they used Gothic with their own accent... Hope this helps :).
@@blacksea-caspiansea9504 Well, since AEnglisc was spoken until 12th century it is perhaps easier to guess what it sounded like, it is easier to reconstruct the pronunciation, but to know for sure, 100% is a bit of a gamble in my humble oppinion. But AEnglisc or the language of the old Anglo Saxons influenced and was influenced by Gothic language before the Saxons invaded Britain. It was then that Saxons and Goths lived as neighbours, then Goths moved to the area around the Black Sea (in Ukraine where today is war between Russia and Ukraine). Besides, as I said both are germanic languages. The same thing goes for different Slavic languages as well... However, I personally see all these old languages as a window into the past. One step closer to the old gods and the most distant ancestors that gave us this language, our blood and who we really are.
@@Wulthusprayer is a christian invention and the only mention of the norse and germanic people praying are by christian writers that had a strong bias to their own traditions.
@@hgriff14 Really!? So when Tacitus,who lived in the 1st and 2nd century AD, and was a believer in old Greco-Roman gods, wrote about Germanic tribes he was spreading christian lies!? How about when Ibn Fadlan,a 10th century muslim diplomat, wrote about the Rus Vikings and described their prayers!? Also spreading christian lies!? How about famous Sigrdrifa's prayer from "Sigrdrifumal"? Try again junior, but first grab a book or two or hundred in your case and educate yourself or people will laugh at you and consider you an ill educated woke fool! I suggest you leave grown up things to grown ups ...
That’s very interesting but please never forget that The Lord Jesus Christ truly loves you and cares for you so so much. He is The Way The Truth and The Life! Only God can give you true and everlasting Peace and Love:) I respect but Jesus Christ is the only Truth. Turn to Him before it’s too late. God bless🤍
You can always make the effort and learn it. To quit is a not a trait of ancient europeans, ancient indo-europeans. We became quitters by accepting Christianity, which is a serious mental illness. But can be cured by "Will" as Nietzsche put it. If something was stolen from you - take it back!
Interesting. Goths were Slavs before Slavs even formed, they spoke Germanic language, instead of Slavic, had Germanic names instead of Slavic, had Germanic myths and customs etc ... amazing insight! Congratulations! Besides Sabazios (not Sabazias) was sky father/horseman of the Phrygians and Thracians, who were neither Slavs nor Goths. Your analysis is absolutely brilliant! If you're trying to get accepted into mental institution...

when you consider that the Goths converted to Christianity VERY early on, that means prayers like these would have been made a LOOOONG time ago (like 3rd century and earlier) idk why I find that interesting, as if it being a much earlier time also adds a sense of mysticism to it? like this was before the Hunnic invasions pushed the Goths out into Rome, when they were living (sorta) peacefully in the Carpathians and the steppes, the history of their culture and lifestyles lost to time, yet knowing they were culturally related to the later Germanic invaders like the Saxons and Norse... it just makes it feel, magical? lol
Well, thank you for an interesting comment!
However, we chose Gothic because we a) live in countries once inhabited by the Goths b) we consider ourselves to be (distant) relatives of the Old Goths and c) Gothic is the oldest attested Germanic language that can be almost fully reconstructed despite the fact that it hasn't been actively spoken since the fall of Ostrogothic kingdom and since Visigoths decided to abandon their language.
Thus we speak to the Old gods in Gothic because we feel closer to the gods and to the Old times...
Begging for things in prayer? Or brainstorming, asking questions. Answering them.
Is that a question for us? Or a statement?
People prayed to Odin?
They still do...
@@Wulthus wtf. That’s stupid.
@@jp8871 Not to those who do it.
@@jp8871 Do you pray to your god?
@@hippyjoe yes
I LOVE YOU
Well, thank you. We love you too!
This is a word in proto-germanic that I want to know it’s translation to English
Owlthuthewaz
Hi. This word is not a proto-Germanic but proto-Norse. Proto-Germanic version would be Wolthuthewaz. The meaning is "servant of Ullr", Ullr being one of the Aesir asociated with archery and skiing. Cheers!
@@Wulthus Ooohh thank you I always wanted to know I thought it was proto germanic
@@alvarogonzalez1249 I am glad to have helped you. 👍
What language is this
Look at the title of the video. It is Gothic language.
"Das Gebet" klingt recht interessant.
Danke sehr 👍
Dont blame me on, but that existed and known eastern Germanic language sounds more like Eald Ænglisc than any northern or western Germanic languages. May it be just voice actors are English speaking person who just roleplay as storyteller just it is extinct language?
Well, to be honest we are talking about a language that's been "dead" for almost 1500 years. There aren't any clues as to how exactly Gothic sounded (of course). In any case all the Germanic languages were similar regarding the pronunciation (the way they sounded) at the times Gothic was still spoken (not to mention the protoGermanic times, when this distinction was almost non existant). Thus, all of us who are trying to "use" Gothic today have our own ways of sounding. You may compare it to Latin. There is classical pronunciation and ecclesiastical with all it's sub variants (italianized, anglicized etc). Since Goths had so many different non Germanic allies (Slavs and non Slavs) it is only logical that they used Gothic with their own accent... Hope this helps :).
@@Wulthus Thank you so much for explanation, so the real pronunciation is not known neither for Ænglisc nor for Guthiska Razda.
@@blacksea-caspiansea9504 Well, since AEnglisc was spoken until 12th century it is perhaps easier to guess what it sounded like, it is easier to reconstruct the pronunciation, but to know for sure, 100% is a bit of a gamble in my humble oppinion. But AEnglisc or the language of the old Anglo Saxons influenced and was influenced by Gothic language before the Saxons invaded Britain. It was then that Saxons and Goths lived as neighbours, then Goths moved to the area around the Black Sea (in Ukraine where today is war between Russia and Ukraine). Besides, as I said both are germanic languages. The same thing goes for different Slavic languages as well... However, I personally see all these old languages as a window into the past. One step closer to the old gods and the most distant ancestors that gave us this language, our blood and who we really are.

Prayer? They don't "pray".
?
@@Wulthusprayer is a christian invention and the only mention of the norse and germanic people praying are by christian writers that had a strong bias to their own traditions.
@@hgriff14 Really!? So when Tacitus,who lived in the 1st and 2nd century AD, and was a believer in old Greco-Roman gods, wrote about Germanic tribes he was spreading christian lies!? How about when Ibn Fadlan,a 10th century muslim diplomat, wrote about the Rus Vikings and described their prayers!? Also spreading christian lies!? How about famous Sigrdrifa's prayer from "Sigrdrifumal"? Try again junior, but first grab a book or two or hundred in your case and educate yourself or people will laugh at you and consider you an ill educated woke fool! I suggest you leave grown up things to grown ups ...

Well, hello to you too 😁 my friend!
That’s very interesting but please never forget that The Lord Jesus Christ truly loves you and cares for you so so much.
He is The Way The Truth and The Life! Only God can give you true and everlasting Peace and Love:)
I respect but Jesus Christ is the only Truth. Turn to Him before it’s too late.
God bless🤍
You can keep him!
TWO prayers to Oden 😂. You do not pray to Oden. Lol. Go back to the bible
Kid, don't you have something better to do? Leave the grown up things to the grown ups!
Unfortunately I do not speak the ancestral language. Because our culture has been stolen.
You can always make the effort and learn it. To quit is a not a trait of ancient europeans, ancient indo-europeans. We became quitters by accepting Christianity, which is a serious mental illness. But can be cured by "Will" as Nietzsche put it. If something was stolen from you - take it back!
Goths were Slavs and not germans, and they prayed to Sabazias, not Odin.
Interesting. Goths were Slavs before Slavs even formed, they spoke Germanic language, instead of Slavic, had Germanic names instead of Slavic, had Germanic myths and customs etc ... amazing insight! Congratulations!
Besides Sabazios (not Sabazias) was sky father/horseman of the Phrygians and Thracians, who were neither Slavs nor Goths.
Your analysis is absolutely brilliant!
If you're trying to get accepted into mental institution...
@@Wulthus awesome answer, 😂
please add new odin players.
Thank you for watching, for now this channel is not active! Cheers!
