I agree with the statement that paganism is truly coming back. Even in predominantly Christian countries like mine (Philippines) there are a lot of practicing pagans and those who practice our pre-colonial religions.
some dreadful nonsense purporting to be some way pagan may come back, however, the Vikings would laugh as they turn the modern pagans into angels .... in only the way they could
@Basically Well Fed At the start of the Viking age most Scandinavians were pagan. They had many gods and goddesses from simple nature spirits to heroic figures. Odin, Thor and Frey were the major deities, who dwelled in Asgard - the inner world of an elaborate universe. Vikings believed they travelled to other worlds in the afterlife.
In what was a village called Ecclesfield, now a suburb of north Sheffield in Yorkshire, (where some of my maternal ancestors are from) builders came across two stone heads of pagan deities several years ago when building new houses. The stone heads were taken to the British museum in London and are still there as far as I know. However I don't know if anyone knows which deities the stone heads represent or how old they are. The name Ecclesfield means "church in a field", and is mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086, but the area was a place of worship long before Chritianity hit Britains shore. (Although there is a beautiful old church there known as the Minster of the Moors). About three miles away from Ecclesfield is an area called Wincobank, which overlooks Meadowhall shopping mall and the lower Don Valley, where the Romans built Templeborough fort, now the site of Magna science museum. Wicobank has the earthworks of an old Celtic fort and was the home to the Brigante tribe, one of the biggest tribes in Celtic Britain. To get to Ecclesfield from Wincobank the Brigantes would have had to have go through an ancient wood by the name of Wooley Wood. In the old language the word wolley means "where the wolves roam", a sobering thought when you have to pass through it to worship at the stone heads that were probably still around during the Celtic era. At some point during the Roman occupation of Britain, the Brigante tribe was ruled by Queen Cartumandua who was on good terms with the Romans. Caradoc leader of one of the southern Celtic tribes (Roman name Caracticus) attempted a rebellion against the Romans in southern England, he lost the battle of Medway down in Kent, asked the Welch Celts for help and lost battles against the Romans there, and finally he went north and asked Cartamandua for her help in getting rid of the Romans. She promptly handed him over in chains to the Romans. Her husband and his followers took exception to this and locked her away usurping her power and taking over the throne. The 4th Cohort of Gauls were sent up north and were stationed at Templeborough fort to put down the rebellion of the Brigantes, which took them a good thirty years or more to do, before they moved further north and eventually to Caledonia. Wincobank fort was the southernmost fort beloning to the Brigante tribe, they also had one at Hathersage in Derbyshire. Caradoc was sent to Rome as a prisoner but was made a free citazen of Rome by the Emperor, who was impressed with his eloquence when he verbally ripped the Emperor a new one, for having the audacity to invade Britain and "take our mud huts", when he had the splendor of Rome and its Empire. Caradoc wasn't allowed back home to Britain for fear he'd cause an even bigger uprising and ended his days in living in Rome. I'm really enjoying your videos Jacob, thanks for sharing them with us. May the blessings of the Goddess be upon you and yours 🌺
The mask was from Star Carr in Yorkshire it is from the Mesolithic. It is one of a few deer frontlets found near what was once an ancient lake Flixton. Deposits were obviously ceremonially given to the water. There are others in York & Scarborough Museums. They are from Britain certainly not mainland Europe.
I have learned more about the history of this region from you than I ever did in school 😅 thank you for such an informative and beautiful video! I hope to one day be able to visit these places myself but I love being able to learn about them ahead of time from your experiences ❤
I really enjoy the history you are bringing to us with these videos. It is helping me ground myself in the rich lives of my ancestors. It is easier to connect with our ancestors when we know and appreciate how they lived. Thanks Jacob!
This is a really great video, that shows a love for the land in the British isles. thank you! That deer skull mask found in Europe, but not in Britain? We have mesolithic head-dresses almost the same as them. They were found at Star carr in Yorkshire. Also, the reason you won't find much of the viking era down in the South of England, is that the Danelaw was in the North and midlands. You'll be in the southern kingdom of Wessex, which was Saxon, not Danish.
The Uffington 'horse'was desifned to be seen across the landscape. It can be seen for miles. Hadrians wall was built in Northumberland England, not Scotland. The Antonine wall which was turf was built in Scotland by Hadrians heir. and took twice as long to construct The Dark Ages was so called purely because of the lack of artefacts etc.
These videos are so informative. As I've learned my heritage, thanks to Ancestry DNA, and a walking away from Xtianity, I've been studying the Old Ways. This history of the Anglo-Saxon invasion explains how my very Germanic family name got to Britain.
Paganism is very interesting and I love to learn about it but I feel like modern reconstructionist paganism conveniently glosses over the human (both adult and child) sacrifice and unabashed slavery. Almost as if these things were an integral part of it. Modern Norse, Germanic and Slavic tribes would likely scoff at modern and inclusive paganism and then kill or enslave you. Why would we want to bring this kind of religion back?
❤❤❤ I have someone coming to my home today to help me with the construction of a new sacred space on the property we currently "own" or are stewards of. I hope others will appreciate it and utilize it once I'm gone.
Update for my two likers: It is going to be even better than I thought! There is going to be a waterfall next to the triple trunk holly where I currently leave offerings!!! And a meditation space between the waterfall and holly tree. I'm extatic!
it’s very honourable Jacob that you sold your possessions to bring us this brilliant content which helps us get to know the ways of our ancestors, it’s much appreciated, great video.
Thank you Jacob for being the best traveling pagan monk that I know. Also you are a great hugger. Continue being awesome my friend. FarmViking/ Bearded Mink
What some quality content on this channel. I cant believe I finally found this channel. Should have 1 million subs instead of 85k. Your much more deserving. Great episode.
Hi! I hope you visited parts of the Ridgeway. I grew up near Ivinghoe Beacon and the area is steeped in history and folklore. It's a beautiful place full of atmosphere.
You are doing a great job on these pagan documentaries. I am hoping that you will go to some of the other sites that I know about which are in England.
I have Wayland Smithy, Roman Baths, and Glastonbury done! Working on a video on the druids filmed in Anglesy, then some more projects in the highlands. Then some great surprises coming after that ;)
Wonderful content keep up the great work your pace your tone you’re editing your content. You’re really doing some great work here sending all the love in the world.
Thank you for the amazing video! A lot of useful information about the past of England and the religion of the people. I loved the inclusion of music from Beltaine! 😊
Awesome video man! The amount of research you put into these is much appreciated. The tour at the end was great too. I always like that you’ve kept your humor through your videos. The sheep had me laughing, watched it twice 😂
Fantastic video Jacob thank you for your time and energies. I'm not really in a position to support you financially, wish I could though, but if you are ever in Norfolk UK and need a place to crash my door is always open for you.
You should see if you can do tours for visitors in England, Scandinavia, etc. You know all the history, all the cool places, and all the history. How cool would a tour of pagan/ancient history of England be?
I just recently discovered your channel. I’m now a huge follower… as your passion is 100% mine as well. I can’t get enough knowledge of exactly what you cover. I’m so thankful for you and your desire to create your content . God bless!!🏴🇬🇧🇮🇪🏴♥️
You ever visited Dartmoor in Devon? 5000 known neolithic sites inside its 370 sq miles radius. Stone rows, standing stones, burial sites.of all sorts, barrows, the list goes on. Ever want to visit, look me up Experience South West Tours. Keep up the cracking video work, Mark
"Before the false Mother and her unholy Son. Before the cloth was laid and the rood was hung. Other mothers Other son's. Mothers with a thousand son's. They danced under the trees where the offerings hung.....
Thank you for sharing! Your information really gave me some insights and perspective on my personal journey. The enormous long burrow reminded me of the death tribe of Indonesia. There the dead were wrapped in layers of cloth, and stacked upon eachother in big natural caves. this is still a practice and in a video about this tribe, you might get a sense of what generations of buried in a low lit burrow might have looked like.
You should read Barry Cunliffe’s books, Celtic From the West and Britain begins. It’s changing people’s perception of who the Celts were. Cunliffe reckons Celtic/Gallic culture started in Britain and moved outwards into Europe, not the other way round which has been the previously narrative pushed.
May the ancient gods bless you for your work! What keeps me living is the feel of the Divine in every little thing that lives on this earth, even the stones, planets, stars and sound of the waters that run through it all ~ the blood of life itself. Life is not in one place, neither is the Divine, it is all ~ all around us and in us. The heart in our breast beats with the same song, and in time as their own.
Wow!! I just watched the Robin Of Sherwood episodes The Swords Of Wayland for the first time ever last week. I just thought the show writers made the Wayland reference up. I had no idea of the significance until I watched this great video (randomly on my feed) Thanks for making this 👍👍
@@stevestannard6004 Yes it’s wonderful! It’s got it all! I love the action, the humour (Nickolas Grace especially) and the costumes. But most of all I love how it reconnects the viewer with the old ways 👍
Is that what was found under the playing field of St Laurence School in Bradford on Avon? I went to school there, when it was Trinity Secondary Modern, many painful hockey games were played on that field
Absolutely i was instructed as a child to refrain from calling out the sacred days etc and taught to use the Christian. Samhain, Beltane,yule, hogmanay, eostre, etc we were taught not to reference the equinox or solstice but at home we respected the old ways. Turnips were carved not pumpkins. The yule log was fired not decorated as a tree. Coal as a first foot at hogmanay Eostre was hot cross buns to celebrate the 4 corners and it was a hare not a bunny 😅😅😅😅
The ancients are truly fascinating. In regards to moving those massive stones. I've wondered if they could have used smaller round stones, & draft animals, to serve as ball bearings. Has anyone attempted to test that theory?
Thank you for all you do. I wish i could remember all the deities' names. I have trouble reading and remembering people names i known all my life. Thank you again for all you do
I just came across your videos today. I watched this one the whole way through. It's too bad you didn't go to Flag Fen near Peterborough. It's interesting there.
I 💚 the stone circles so much. They show how the British Isles were where you historically mastered the Dark Arts (Khaos Magic) before Rome arrived. Khaos Magic is using the warping of space time by mass to heal your soul. It’s astrology. It’s also why Pagans go new moon to new moon cycles. It’s the easiest sign to predict cause it’s the same as the Sun’s.
Hi, I am lucky to live within walking distance of the White Horse and have given it's origin a lot of thought. This is just my theory, could it be one of many, yet to be discovered, 'signposts' to Stonehenge? Thanks to Mike Parker Pearson's work, the 3 henges might have been the Jerusalam or Mecca of their time, there is evidence of people travelling from all over Europe, signposts would make sense. What do you think, I'd love to hear from anyone
Passing through that tomb really is like passing into the realm of the dead for just a moment you are like Schrodinger's cat neither dead yet not entirely alive either or at least you have entered partway into the world of the dead.
Hey 👋 I live in swindon town center not far from wayland smithy. And last year September time me and the hubby went up finely made it up there as we had tried so many times but turning back not being able to find the easier way up for disabled people. 😂 in the end I think we just got up there and I did alittle meditation ❤
welsh and briton are synonymous. the brittonic celts spoke a language similar to welsh, and the modern welsh people are the descendants of the britons.
The megalithic builders world wide venerated the Dragon/Serpents of which the remnants still remain today, from the huge earthworks of the Serpentine constructions flowing across the lands (uk, google - devils dykes or Grime's or devils grim or grims ditch or around the world Naga Serpents, Feathered serpents, rainbow serpent) even the abrahamic religions who supplemented them can't help giving a nod to the great Serpents.with carvings in churches and mentions in the old testement. For those truely interested these Serpent gods are the Serpintine/Dragons earth energies that flow across the lands and which all British stone circles are built in conjunction with and which the Christians built their churches upon. The so called white horse is actually the white Dragon, the clue is that two hundreds away is Dragon hill
For me there are physical places of Connection, where ego self is lost. Long story , short. A love goddess is on Uffington. Guarded at first, yet there. I wandered on to the hill. A Sunday. Some were flying kites. They seemed to roar like many Carnyx's. I sat by the horses tail, where she would give birth, a portal and place of birth. The crowds evaporated. I sat quietly in the ldusk of late summer. A wind came up from the valley, blustering, pushing at me. In my minds eye I saw a mans face, tousled hair, wide eyed. Then she came. Her blessing at once profoundly wise then like a forceful woman in her desire. I am not a pagan, just a countryman, of Wales and Australia. Recently I gained connection on the Porogorups, an outcrop of Gondwana rock near Albany WA. Profound and reassuring. I lost my fear of death. For days this elation lasted.
The White Horse of Uffington, on a green hillside, is rather more Tolkieny (Rohan) than Game of Thronesy. Also, its location on the border of Mercia (the Mark) anyone?
I agree with the statement that paganism is truly coming back. Even in predominantly Christian countries like mine (Philippines) there are a lot of practicing pagans and those who practice our pre-colonial religions.
Let us hope it continues to grow
@@learningeveryday8 Definitely
I hope to visit the Philippines some day and learn about the traditional religion before the Spanish arrived.

Check out the Celtic goddess Epona. She is the only known Celtic deity whose cult and influence spread to other provinces of the Roman Empire.
Nonsense 😅😅😅😅 what about
Taranis
Lugus
Nodens
Deae matres
Geny Cuullati
Civentina
Epona was another but far from the only or most powerful 😅😅😅

Anglo-Saxon is very similar to Old-Frisian ;) Also, don't forget Frisians joined the Anglo-Saxon to England

Hi, I am lucky to live within walking distance of the White Horse and have given it's origin a lot of thought. This is just my theory, could it be one of many, yet to be discovered, 'signposts' to Stonehenge? Thanks to Mike Parker Pearson's work, the 3 henges might have been the Jerusalam or Mecca of their time, there is evidence of people travelling from all over Europe, signposts would make sense. What do you think, I'd love to hear from anyone
Love your videos! Where is that Roman mosaic?
Littlecote Roman Villa, 0SU, Hungerford
This is so interesting thank you do much
Passing through that tomb really is like passing into the realm of the dead for just a moment you are like Schrodinger's cat neither dead yet not entirely alive either or at least you have entered partway into the world of the dead.
You should look into the llyn peninsula in north wales and bardsey island it’s very interesting 👌🏻👍🏻
Hey 👋 I live in swindon town center not far from wayland smithy. And last year September time me and the hubby went up finely made it up there as we had tried so many times but turning back not being able to find the easier way up for disabled people. 😂 in the end I think we just got up there and I did alittle meditation ❤
welsh and briton are synonymous. the brittonic celts spoke a language similar to welsh, and the modern welsh people are the descendants of the britons.
Beautiful journey🖤💫🤍
The megalithic builders world wide venerated the Dragon/Serpents of which the remnants still remain today, from the huge earthworks of the Serpentine constructions flowing across the lands (uk, google - devils dykes or Grime's or devils grim or grims ditch or around the world Naga Serpents, Feathered serpents, rainbow serpent) even the abrahamic religions who supplemented them can't help giving a nod to the great Serpents.with carvings in churches and mentions in the old testement. For those truely interested these Serpent gods are the Serpintine/Dragons earth energies that flow across the lands and which all British stone circles are built in conjunction with and which the Christians built their churches upon. The so called white horse is actually the white Dragon, the clue is that two hundreds away is Dragon hill
Thanks for sharing that. Interesting , something to research for me.
Interesting. Just to point out: the mask is from Star Carr which is North Yorkshire in England. Not central Europe
Why don’t Americans look at the ancient American red indian as their history ?? Very interesting ! Not just our British history 🏴
.most americans ancestry is europe incl england
For me there are physical places of Connection, where ego self is lost.
Long story , short.
A love goddess is on Uffington.
Guarded at first, yet there.
I wandered on to the hill.
A Sunday.
Some were flying kites.
They seemed to roar like many Carnyx's.
I sat by the horses tail, where she would give birth, a portal and place of birth.
The crowds evaporated.
I sat quietly in the ldusk of late summer.
A wind came up from the valley, blustering, pushing at me.
In my minds eye I saw a mans face, tousled hair, wide eyed.
Then she came.
Her blessing at once profoundly wise then like a forceful woman in her desire.
I am not a pagan, just a countryman, of Wales and Australia.
Recently I gained connection on the Porogorups, an outcrop of Gondwana rock near Albany WA.
Profound and reassuring.
I lost my fear of death.
For days this elation lasted.
Epona, the Horse Goddess.
The White Horse of Uffington, on a green hillside, is rather more Tolkieny (Rohan) than Game of Thronesy. Also, its location on the border of Mercia (the Mark) anyone?
