Best comment RE: Thor's hammer, "It can even shrink down to the size of an amulet so he can disguise himself as a regular metalhead."
I appreciate the emphasis that they are not blue. That drives me up a wall when I see it taken as fact or used in religiously themed artwork.
If you worry that people are going to get tired of that metal-head joke...we are not. :)
This man seems so intelligent, and accomplished. It’s impressive
So Loki had two wives and a horse mate. He had five children- a giant, a goddess, a wolf, a serpent, and the last being a horse
Here in Sweden we have a saying when winter starts " Här kommer Kung Bore" (here comes King Bore)
I love that everyone who studies Norse myths has to have a laugh about how Odin's cunning "old man disguise" looks exactly like his usual outfit but nobody ever figures it out.
Just bought your version of the Poetic Edda from Amazon! I can't wait to read it! Thank you for making these videos. It's helping me understand my ancestor's culture much more.
I'm gonna binge watch your videos today :D
He can disguise himself as a regular metalhead
Jackson: Odin is very wise and dresses in gray with a wide brimmed hat
🤣 "just a regular metal-head."
I can't get enough of these videos.
Thank you for putting these videos on UA-cam. I have learned a lot from you.
Excellent video. My regular THURSDAY morning head rinse. Nice touch with the brief glimpse of the Winchester.
I'm not sure if you will ever see this, but THANK YOU! Your videos are an absolute revelation. :D
I’m having so much fun learning from you, thank you for posting these wonderful videos!
Love your videos. I picked up your copy of Poetic Edda. Let me tell you I have read it daily the last week. The reviews on Amazon for your book are amazing! I picked your version because of your back ground in old norse.
waiting on a third book!! cant wait haha and thank you greatly for the uploads and vast amount of knowledge shared here on your channel. Skol!
