Thank you for your recommendation. I've just gotten several of the books you've mentioned and cant wait to dig in.
Survive The Jive * YOU ARE A TEACHER AND YOU GIVING THIS VIDEO A GO IS A MUST !!! WE OF GERMANIC. HERITAGE NEED TO GO BACK TO OUR ROOTS LIVE IN VILLAGES EAT FROM THE EARTH AND CARE FOR OUR KIN !!!! YOUR TEACHINGS MAKES YOUR KNOWLEDGE ( BOOKS - HOW/WHAT YOU GOT HERE) IS SOOO VERY IMPORTANT , THANK YOU - KELLEY FROM WEST VA
Whats the updated list for 2024?
i like your ideology ......more people like u required in Europe.....keep going u r in right path.....
I'm similar in a way, but I'm in the United States.
Hey man I embrace my Proto-Indo-European roots, but I am also Native American as well (Blackfoot and Cherokee). I may not embrace my Native heritage that much, but I acknowledge it. :)
I also like to speculate what it would be like if the PIE peoples and the Native Americans met. I mean the PIE peoples were pillagers, but I think it would have been cool to see what the "White Men" culture used to be like before the plague that is Christianity.
Yeah, one of them was that a pregnant wife of a Viking scared off the Natives at one point?
@the antiquity goth, I believe they would get along very well. Finns got along with them very well, even made marriages with them. (I recall there was even a word for the people of mixed marriages between Natives and Finns.) There was one Swedish settlement in the new world. Near this area in the modern world, there was until recently a sign on a tavern near: "No Finns or Indians allowed", which had been there for ages. The Swedish settlement was largely inhabited by Finns, since they were considered by the crown pioneers, and they indeed were such. Finns farmed using burn-clearing and lived in forests, had all kinds of primitive habits and customs, they very primitive and barbarian indeed.
Homers Iliad and Beowulf are an absolute MUST
And the Bhagavad Gita!
@@josephraffanello3955 in Bhagavat Gita.....its mentioned of the 1 female being married to 5 male brothers.....
And also it is mentioned how these all good spiritied 5 brothers have lost this female in a game of something that is close to domino
The most proper brother has made his choice to bet his beleave on this most beloved female........
And the way this whole royal family decided to die......its very very very unique story......fascinating.......
VERY
INDO
EURO
PEAN
Quite. Or... VERY
Kkkkkk
Awesome, going to have to look into getting a lot of these to further my own knowledge 👍🏽
Out of interest, what did you study at university?
History With Hilbert medieval history
History With Hilbert + Survive the Jive = the two best channels on UA-cam.
Didn't know History With Hilbert yet. Always nice to find a new treasure trove of content.
Shout out to Feature History aswell as The Golden One and Thuleanperspective.
I wanted to study ancient and medieval history, but as an older student [I was 21] I managed to get myself talked out of it by the tutor who interviewed me at Cardiff uni.
I must sincerely thank you for highlighting the time of the Bronze Age and especially the Yamnaya culture. The more I advance in my study of this field, and the more I realize that this time was really founding. Many cultural, social, artistic, linguistic, economic aspects of our history find their origin in this time and place. It is time for us Europeans to return what we owe them. In addition, it allows us all to unite around the same basic culture, whether we are Latin, German, Greek, Slavic (and even Armenian or Iranian) because we all once had (at least partly) the same language, the same gods, the same blood.
Great timing for a reading list, in time for a long winter. Love this channel as it always brings me back to matters of a spiritual nature.
i love his work , at first i was not so sure but he makes so much sense and such good referencing to all his commentary. Love it mate!!!!
Wow, it's so cool that you obliged BOTH of my requests that I made to you on facebook. I asked about a video about the connection between the Romans and northern Europeans, and I got two related videos straight away. I also asked about a book recommendation about the origins of indo European, an now I got even more than I asked in this video! You are amazing, keep doing what you're doing. I will order "The Horse, The Wheel, & Language". I seems to be exactly what I wa looking for! Great thanks.
Thanks for putting this list together!
Thanks for this, Tom. Fantastic video and yes I did watch it holding a pen and paper!
Fantastic video--I will be reading a number of these!!
Another great video Thomas ! Thanks for the many references
I have just gone back through your videos and I'm impressed at how your beard has developed through the years.
Excellent. Can't wait to read these. Might as well start with one of my favourite authors Tolkien on Beowulf.
Three brilliant and mandatory titles in my experience:
Vilhelm Grønbech - The Culture of The Teutons. 3 volumes, Copenhagen, 1931.
Jacob Grimm - Teutonic Mythology. 4 volumes, Dover, 1966.
Viktor Rydberg - Teutonic Mythology. 3 volumes, The Norrœna Society, 1906.
Another:
Saxo Grammaticus.
Thanks for doing this! I have read many of the world's heroic sagas, but very few of the academic books you mentioned. I will get to it!
Excellent list, thank you!
Just found your channel and i love it!! Keep it up my dude
Great list! Another valuable author who really helped me in atuning my mind to the qualities of traditional thought is Mircea Eliade, especially his book 'The Sacred and The Profane'. It's a great and very concise introduction into the fundamentals of symbolic and metaphysical thought.
Very informative video. Dumezil is definitely great and I like Mallory too. Perennial philosophy is interesting indeed. Also I suggest everyone to read Bhagavad-gita. The best versions imo are Hridayananda dasa Goswami's "Comprehensive Guide to Bhagavad-gita with Literal Translation" and A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's "Bhagavad-gita As It Is".
The whole Mahabharata is a must-read especially for anyone who enjoys martial epic such as Iliad. It's so long that an abridgement is the best way to start, and I'd recommend the John D. Smith abridgement that moves between summary and actual translation of important parts.
Bhagavad Gita as it is 1972 reprint, dont buy revised shit
Great list! I already own a few of the books but some of the others are quite hard to find, especially the first three. I currently have my hands on a copy of The Cult of Kingship in Anglo-Saxon England through my public library. There is also a reference copy of Anglo-Saxon Paganism which I will look at but I would say those first three books are expensive to buy online and hard for someone in a small town to access via local library. I'm just lucky to live near a large library system.
Essential list Tom, thank you! I hope you don't mind me adding Joseph Campbell to it. A proper analytical view of all the world religions and mythologies. The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Myths to Live by, The Masks of God, etc. All of his books and lectures are an absolute must read and watch! ...(for anyone interested that is).
You should write a book on Anglo-saxon beliefs and practices. I would buy that in a heart beat. I absolutely love your videos.
Heðin Galdr agreed!
Amazing! You make me very proud to be European.
Pride comes before the fall. Pride, the ugliest human trait.
@@Storytime2023x Well, your a barrel of laughs
@@richb3802 : Your ironic statement means that I am not a fun person because I talk about serious things. I am not a child, so I tend to think about deeper material, such as the evil involved in pride. This lesson comes from the Holy Bible and many, like you, will scoff at it and deride it and anyone who stands for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Scoff as you wish while you live, but when you die you will know everything and even your knee will bend in recognition of the lordship of Jesus Christ. Even the demons believe, and they tremble.
@@Storytime2023x That's nice
@@Storytime2023x You sound like a proud Christian.
I love that you recommended mostly spiritual/theological works, as opposed to tired politics that try to take priority over God. Keep up the good work, as per usual!
Thank you. I have always been fascinated by our ancestors and our ancestral roots. Being a very proud Englishman knowing very well that there is mostly English blood line on both side of the family (family all from Essex, Sussex and East Anglia were I was born, Bury St Edmonds) but I know there is a Scottish great grandmother, Welsh great great grandfather and a great great Spanish grandmother. So I know my heritage has blood has blood from around Europe.
But I now live in Australia and think it time to reconnect with my ancestral past more than ever. I have two ravens that visit every day, I feel it is a sign from the gods.
Thanks, I will check some of these out. I have a good public library and two uni libraries close by.
What can you say when all praise has been sullied....... fabulous lecture from a natural.
Thanks for the video. Just trying to get my feet wet, and this is a good start. Just saw that Wilson's book is currently going for $900 on Amazon. As if finding resources on Anglo-Saxon paganism wasn't hard enough!
This was one of the most interesting and well informed videos. I appreciate your insight into the pros and cons of David Anthony, Mallory, Evola and Guenon. And of course, I agree that the Illiad, Aneid, Poetic Edda are crucial. Well done.
Thank you kindly for share.
Thank you StJ! Great recommendations, hail Woden Krishna and Mithra
and Satan
Davidson's books are top notch, well researched, accurate and easy to read. I find them in used bookstore sometimes.
Ask a scholar for a list, and you get a lecture, too.
Thank you, for sharing your knowledge.
Julius Evola deserves a video all on its own
Seriously how can you dislike this video.
The books don't even mention that the Celts were blacks and that there were muslim vikings, so obviously this should be disliked. Or are you a fucking nazi or something?????
Vangelderden 32 jews
If you are a true Christian, you won‘t like this video.
Every STJ video inspires me to plow ahead in learning another Indo-European language.
Thanks, quite a few are on my shelf, housing my own annotations written on post its..some that are on my list and a GOOD chunk of books(about 1/3) are books that I might not have read otherwise. Books are so so so important, I love my e-readers, but still find books to be very special.
great work !
Thanks for making this (even reluctantly). This was an expensive video to watch 😂 But thanks again 👍🏻
When are you getting married and having children? You need to pass on your genes, Europe needs them!
Lari Kipe next year i am getting married
Congratulations!
@@karlosthejackel69 He got married in church, Ive been told. Very indo european ;-)
ImNotJoshPotter but..... they were covered in sheep’s blood? Weren’t they?
@kseykshoykshaksat - in hindu tradition the bride's sisters are the one who hides the grooms footwear not grooms sister
Thanks for this, better get reading!
You gotta make a video about the Scythians, Sarmatians and Alans. I find the culture and history of what I like to call "The European Iranians" absolutely fascinating!
Many people don't realize how close Iranian culture was to Slavic and Germanic cultures in Europe, the mutual influence, and the part these European Iranians played in the histories of Greece, Rome and Eastern Europe.
The Scythians/Sarmatians are the stuff of legends. Amazonian women, Conan the Barbarian, serpent gods, mages, mounted archers and fierce warriors.
Even J.R.R Tolkien based some of his Middle-Earth mythology on that of the Iranian steppe nomads, and much of the fantasy fiction and fantasy video games take cues from Scythian and Sarmatian culture and mythology.
be kind to the weak, and a will against will. have a good day thomas.
Another good addition to this could be the Khordeh Āvesta a collection of Zoroastrian prayers and my copy has transliterations of the original Avestan into Latin script
Need an updated version of this video 🙏
Going out now but so looking forward to this when i get home, is there any chance at all you could speak about Irish mythology and pre Christian religion laws etc. Keep up the good work
Thanks for this! Great list!
Thank you!
I know this is old but omg, Thank you!!
Would love to see you in an interview with E.Micheal Jones.
from a straight guy to (apparently) a straight guy, man you are handsome
if you are straight, how come you didn't say "no homo"?
Many thanks
Just got that Guenon book recently, interesting thoughts. Writing style quite different from Evola, yet you see the similarities
Thanks mate.
do a video on your beard routine.
Disziple oh you're no fun!
Many thanks for the inspiring list. I may have missed it in which case aplgies but I do notnthink that you mentioned the Mabinogion and the Irish mythological cycle which I think also offer great insights in to the Indo-European world view. I also wanted to mention that unfortunately Georges Dumézil passed away back in 1986. I would agree that this is definitely a must-read.
Apologies for the typos- typing too fast...
read a few of these obviously penguin classics prose edda etc but need to check out a few more.
I would also recommend 'the White Goddess' by Robert Graves and 'The Glory of Hera' by Philip E. Slater for an understanding of paganism and literature from Antiquity through Dark Age Europe.
Thanks for this list STJ! Also, what videos do you talk about the Solar and Lunar beliefs? I'm very interested as I don't know much about it.
Hammer of the Gods by Swain Wodening , is on Anglo Saxon paganism
For people interested in the Perennial Philosophy, but not brave enough to go straight into something like Evola or Guenon, I would recommend 'The Underlying Religion' Edited by Martin Lings. It contains various short essays on the subject.
What about the Slavic and Baltic branch of Indo-European people?
Hi Goran. If you're interested I could do a video on some of the books I have read in the past regarding Slavic beliefs; keep in mind many of these books have been in Polish, however. Where are you from? I could try to compile some sources in your native language if I can find any.
Gille Slàbhach Regards, I am from Croatia I personally think that I have nothing against what the gentleman orients to Antich and the western part of Europe and the north, but to mention all the Indo-Europeans without mentioning the biggest branch in Europe, it is strange to me.
Agreed.
Well, if you're interested in reading about the beliefs and mythology of the native Slavic faith, I would suggest first getting familiar with the founding fathers of studying Slavic folklore & mythology, i.e. A.N. Afanasjev, V. V. Ivanov & V. N. Toporov; then I suggest having a look at the works of Boris Rybakov (Iazychestvo drevnykh slavian, "Ancient Slavic Paganism", 1981) and looking at the online archives of the fantastic academic publications, such as STUDIA MYTHOLOGICA SLAVICA (available through the Slovenian Academy of Sciences & Arts) and Folklorica (available through Kansas University).
Henryka Czajka wrote a great book, "The Heroic Folk Epic of the Southern Slavs", but I believe it has only been published in Polish.
Adrian Ivakhiv studies Slavic paganism, and he (among with other scholars whose works I've read such as Aleksander Gieysztor and Jakub Zielina) seem to more or less agree with the theory that the majority of Slavs followed a pantheon which fits into Georges Dumézil's trifunctional hypothesis. Even scholars agree that the deities of all the Indo-European tribes (whether Slavs, Balts, Anglo-Saxons, Norsemen, Greeks, etc.) were, to a certain degree inter-changeable and all served as role models which explained and looked after the tripartite division of society into castes (the priests/shamans, the warriors, the farmers). Now, guess which Middle-Eastern division founded around the year 0 A.D. mimicked this tripartite faith in order to appeal more to native Europeans? ;)
Anyway, I know this is kind of a chaotic list. I've only really started building my UA-cam channel and for about 5 more months I'll be uploading very rarely, but some of the videos I plan to make in the future will be about Slavic mythology and native faith (filling in the gap left by Survive the Jive? :P)
I have a few sources on my ancestors the Old Prussians if you're interested.
Monolith In which language are your sources?
I want that shirt
Julius Evola's "Revolt Against The Modern World" is a fantastic book! (There is also "The Metaphysics of Sex" (obviously, on a different topic)).
I highly recommend J.P. Mallory's In Search of the Indo-Europeans: Language, Archaeology, and Myth. That book was my introduction to Indo-European studies.
Thank you for making this video! Wonderful break down of the list as well, lots of components to the topic. H.R.E. Davidson is an excellent author, The Road to Hel is another good one by her, and beyond the core prerequisites of Anglo-Saxon paganism (eddas, sagas, beowulf), there is a lot of enriching material you mentioned (evola, guenon, tacitus, etc) for those aiming to build a view for Indo-European culture etc. Don't remember if you mentioned Bede, would you consider him in the same basket as Tacitus?
DiminishedDarknut bede is a great primary source too
I have only started watching you
You talk of things I have wondered over for a good few years now
as a Scotsman in his twenty’s I have always knew we Europeans are a very special race of peoples
Keep up your great work I hope you will reach the European youth with this wisdom
Thank you
If you can't get ahold of the books, get the movie Warriors and the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. Good companion to Illiad and Odyssey
Brian Bates has wrote some interesting stuff. He has done a novel based on his research into anglo saxon shamanism called 'The Way of Wyrd'
Thanks for the bibliography
Do you have any story and book recommendations for kids and young adults books? I would love to build my kids a library too..
I recommend Celtic Gods and Heroes by Marie-Louise Sjoestedt and Celtic Mythology by Proinsias Mac Cana. Celtic cultures are fascinating in their own right, but because of their conservatism and isolation they give us possible insights into proto-Indo-European culture, especially when we see similarities to Hindu culture.
#SurviveTheJive
I'll be checking this list out.
My list. (Vikings)
Vikings by Magnus Magnusson
The Vikings and their Origins by David Wilson
A History of the Vikings by Gwyn Jones
I've read Beowulf and recommend it to all.
On my reading list-
An introduction to Anglo-Saxon England by Peter Hunter Blair(1956)
Fun book- RhineGold by Stephen Grundy.
Jackson Crawford is a very good channel. Well worth subscribing.
Crawford's version is VERY GOOD!
Do you have a particular selection of writings that give liturgical pagan rites and tradtions we can use today?
if you have no luck with libraries, you can look it up on library genesis
Is that a shirt for the Swedish band Forndom? I bought one of their albums 'Flykt' at a mini folk metal festival here in Minnesota called Ostarablot about a year and a half ago, it's a good album.
yes
Many of us are high IQ without knowing or caring about it.
We look to a truthful learned man for advice.
Truth is the light to our existence.
And to some dyslexics any chance of links to spoken words?
Many of us are very literate in the real world but find seeking written truth hard.
Best wishes.
Thank you for this very helpful reading list. I was wondering if you had any information on Slavic paganism. There seems to be a lot more info on Nordic and Anglo-Saxon paganism however I find it hard to find reliable info on the ancient Slavs.
That's because there was never a Slavic equivalent of the Eddas written down
Makes sense. That's too bad, the Slavic people are located very close to the historical birth place of the proto-Indo-European people and so would expect the pre-Christian traditions to have been very close to the original PIE traditions. Btw have you read anything by Graham Hancock? Was curious as to your thoughts on his hypothesis of a lost civilization predating the Sumerians. He has been on the London Real and Joe Rogan podcasts.
Can you make a video about the Tyrrhenian languages and/or about the Rhaetii and Etruscans?
that's a very ignorant thing to say
Armattica Losattadavilla Well, maybe if Etruscan isn't everyone's cup of tea, he can probably make a video about the Rhaetians or Lemnians, no? Albeit we do only have a little information on them.
I see so many people buy a mjolnir pendant then claim theyre odinists or asatru, but maintain their idiotic leftist views on inclusiveness. Can you make a video on the racial component of ancient germanic and norse religions?
Your job is at risk if you publicly declare inclusiveness is destructive x
Yes for now we will have to be implicitly exclusive but no one can be racially exclusive in the west without risking legal action, or at the least social ostracism leading to joblessness. We are living under an anti-racist tyranny.
thats nonsense
modern racism and racial supremacy is just modern egeneracy
Any philosophy/mythology/religion that claims to describe the basis of the world but is exclusionist is nothing short of bullshit.
There has been a welcome change in the past twenty years or so, and a lot of progress has been made in challenging Eurocentric paradigms in various fields in the social sciences. Much of the progress has been made in bits and pieces, and there are no cogent multi-cultural frameworks and perspectives yet in most fields. This progress has largely been achieved due to the fact that people from different countries from around the world have taken up positions in eminent and prestigious American and European universities, and have raised objections and concerns on important issues. Thus, we can see a multicultural perspective emerging on different issues (big change even from the year 2000, when many obsolete paradigms of consequence to different cultures remained unchallenged) However, solving a complex puzzle such as that of Indo-European origins is a different ballgame altogether, and requires not only an inter-disciplinary approach, but also a multi-cultural one. What experiential knowledge would an Indian national have of Iceland, Albania, or Kazakhastan? This is easier said than done and requires persistence and dedication. Such endeavours may take decades and will call for proficiency in many different languages, knowledge of different cultures and a thorough grasp on different regional histories as well. I still see this as a distant pipedream, as few researchers have even thought on these lines, as yet. However, raising awareness may expedite things a bit. It is now time to kick start that process!
Excellent list. Some of them cost a fortune.
Hello! can i ask you a question? you said that Evola was wrong in thinking that a solar cult took over a previous lunar one, and that indoeuropeans had a culture with both solar and lunar cults(?). How do you know this? where can I find some info about it?
Forndom! Very good!
I've really enjoyed these vids of yours my name translates to handsome and peaceable . Alan Talley my last name would probley be more like talligh in old times though
Source material WOO HOO!!!
Nice.
Best book on the topic I’ve yet seen is ‘the Horse, the Wheel and Language” by Anthony
There is an older English translation of the Heimskringla published by Everyman. Used copies should still be fairly easy to get.
In regards to Anglo Saxon Heathenism anything written by Steve Pollington is good. Particularly 'The Elder Gods' and 'Leechcraft'. These and many others can be got from Anglo Saxon Books.
You just sold out a few libraries with this video!
Hey STJ, curious if you have any recommendations for the Odyssey, Iliad translations. Cheers.
What are your thoughts on Stephen Pollington's books on Anglo-Saxon society?
maybe also 'Comparative Mythology' by Jaan Puhvel (John Hopkins University Press)?
Have you read "The Lightning and the Sun" by Savitri Devi, Tom?
Would you be so kind to also share your opinion on James Frazer, Mirca Eliade, and Joseph Campbell? Have you talked about them on Patreon?
Wonderful list!
However I was wondering if you knew any great Baltic or specifically Estonian pagan literature? I've been introduced to plenty of Estonian myths and stories by word of mouth, however searching for the recordings of such stories has only led me to christian texts.
