Old Norse valkyrja "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Selecting among half of those who die in battle go to Fólkvangr, Freyjas afterlife, the other half go to the god Odin's hall called Valhalla. There, the deceased warriors become einherjar. When the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens and sometimes connected to swans or horses.
Valkyries are attested in the Poetic Edda, the Prose Edda, the Heimskringla and the Njáls saga, all written-or compiled-in the 13th century. They appear throughout the poetry of skalds, in a 14th-century charm, and in various runic inscriptions.
first, i'm a girl and i watch & love your channel and second, i'd totally watch a 2 hour podcast about valkyries! DO IT!!!!
Same!
Me too!!
I am as well lol and in total agreement with you on the podcast :)
👋🏼
All the videos are to short 😂😂
I would definitely like a long deep dive into a topic like this, 1-2 hours is fine. Everyday videos are great for short but big topics once a month would be a treat.
me too! i'd love a long video~
same here. cant wait to grab a copy of his book too!
Indeed! ☺️
I am so pressed for time that I would prefer a long session broken up into parts, but yeah, these topics are fascinating and well presented.
@@gregoire203333 I was not aware that he had a book, do you know when / where it will be released?
Lady here :) your videos have inspired me so much to dive deeper into my Danish ancestry and ancient Germanic mythology/history in general. I once was deeply spiritual and found things like astral projecting/lucid dreaming to come naturally, even in unwanted or unprovoked instances. Over time and with life’s challenges I felt as though I’d completely lost touch with that aspect of my person. But after discovering your channel somewhat accidentally the magic and connection to what lay beyond has been rekindled in me. I know I have so much more to learn and am eager to reconnect with my ancestors, and the spirits that guided them. Thank you for inspiring me and I’m sure so many others!
And also, I love that you talk about the divine and complementary nature that men and women shared in ancient times. It’s so refreshing to hear someone give admiration and reverence to women who had enormously important roles, not on the battle field, but from the “sidelines”… doing what they were meant to do. I don’t mean that to sound “misogynistic” but it’s true that they’ve been portrayed as Viking women fighting alongside men in battle in a very woke way. I’m delighted to learn that Nords had a much more enlightened and grounded understanding of gender roles than western cultures today.
@@niiightshadeee I think I agree with you? But I'm not sure? But maybe I want to?
Listen....I've practiced karate MANY years. I CAN HANDLE myself in most sketchy or dangerous situations.
And WE (as women) AREN'T GENERALLY AS STRONG AS MEN. That's okay.
But what's up with your gender norms? Your gender ideals?
I don't understand your point.
@@Karina-Loves-Andreas there are gender differences that have a direct impact on fighting ability, regardless of training. I want to train my daughter in jujutsu and Kali, and I have practices many martial arts for over thirty years. I still would not expect my daughter to be able to fight and defeat the average untrained male, but perhaps be tricky and dangerous enough to deploy a weapon or escape the situation. Evolution has given males greater strength, spacial awareness, and aggression ( testosterone makes dangerous situations thrilling to us ), which was necessary to protect our pregnant women and children from threats ( males are expendable ). While I myself like lily have experienced Astral projection ( in unwanted or unexpected circumstances ) and lucid dreaming, I suspect that this realm is one where women are vastly superior to men. My grandmother was always predicting future events from her dreams, and she was a Christian who was unaware that many of her almost instinctive behavior patterns and practices were reminiscent of her Germanic pagan ancestors. I see the return to the old ways as a great opportunity for women to find and reconnect with their true power, a power that reminds the men why we used to ( and still should ) put them on a pedestal of respect and honor.
Came to say the same thing!
@@Karina-Loves-Andreas knowing Karate isn't going to help you in a street fight, or any fight
I am literally frustrated your videos are not longer. I would definitely listen to you talk for hours on specific topics✊🏾
Yessss
I, for one, would absolutely watch a 2 hour podcast from you! I love your channel and cherish your knowledge. Skål!
With this being said, I do work in the magickal ways you speak of. I meditate and astrally project, not always successfully, but I do the work regardless.
Woman here :) and not your typical subscriber (most likely) as I am turning 60 soon. But much of what you describe has been known among the women of my family for a very long time, most of whom repressed it, but thankfully, not all. The men of the family including church-related authorities worked against this knowledge in the women of my family for (as nearly as I can tell) hundreds of years. Still. Certain women maintained capabilities, but NOT in the presence of any man. Experiences and information you describe has found me, evidenced (in part by the Rysdyk on my bookshelf (along with others not named ) many years before I found your channel. I AM SO GLAD you're making these videos, which I love, and don't miss any, and even happier that you welcome valkyrie capabilities to your life. I have not understood why men do not, because women are powerful warriors and protectors in their own right. We complement men's strengths, but are so often are seen as threats, not true partners. Please keep researching and making videos. They're fun and healing.
The best video I have ever seen on the Valkyries to date! I have to contemplate the centuries of women being disenfranchised into more subservient and degrading roles compared to men, only to see a backlash in the present where women often charge men as being possessed of toxic masculinity while simultaneously trying to embody many of the worst negative traits associated with men. This ancient practice reveals just how truly powerful and unique our women are, a practice long denied them. Whether male or female, our greatest natural born attributes can only be fulfilled by returning fully to the old ways.
It's strange, how in things like the Disney/Marvel movies (starting with phase 4, mostly) and elsewhere in current cinema, women are portrayed upstaging their male counterparts by beating up droves of bad guys, while tolerating the bumbling, craven male protagonist, while they are inexplicably good at everything. Formerly established male characters are broken down and deconstructed, to make way for the now badass "strong female character," who now excels at the more masculine tasks, such as fighting, and are no longer utilizing their feminine traits and skills, and aren't even allowed to be portrayed as sexy, as though that were a bad thing. Very odd.
@@Magneticlaw I agree completely, and in real life I have rarely encountered "bad ass" females. I have been involved in martial arts circles ( not to mention military and leo circles ) for decades and while some women can work hard and achieve great skills, or learn to use weapons, most cannot handle the average fit male counterpart. Yet I frequently encounter deluded and naive females who almost arrogantly peacock their imagined fighting skills. As if adopting some of the most obnoxious cocky posturing of some males will translate into fighting ability. It never works out for them in sparring matches to their shock and embarrassment.
There is a strength in the feminine. Unfortunately, I must agree, it has been lost throughout the ages. On a primal level it has always been my belief that my strength is what helps to fuel my partner. I have received a ton of backlash for that belief, so your comment was refreshing.
@@daniellefrantz9419 thank you, I believe a little bit of deep thinking and introspection helps in a world where others are so content to follow trends and popular opinions. The feminine certainly is inherently powerful, as is the masculine. Nature is the ultimate irrefutable authority as to how both manifest.
@@daniellefrantz9419 You are correct. I have a very feminine and incredibly strong wife. She is an anchor in a hurricane for me and I openly and freely admit it. She has definitely fueled my life and all the successes I have had. I am a much better man because of her. I also believe I serve and equally critical and impactful role in her life.
Your crazy if you think people wouldn’t watch a 2hr video on this topic. I will listen to a 3hr podcast about nonsense. We have way to many voices in Asatru that are politically motivated or just LARPing. There is a large amount of people hungry for knowledge of the beliefs of our ancestors. I know I am and your videos are one of my go to. Keep up the awesome work and research.
What is Asatru & LARPing?
@@Karina-Loves-Andreas Asatru means "being true to the Aesir", it is a more structured form of heathenry that has been usually associated with more folkish movements. Some complain that it is more conservative in ways reminiscent of Christian churches, though it varies from group to group. Larping means "live action role playing" and often refers to those who follow pop culture and hollywood notions of fantasy surrounding vikings, and has little or nothing to do with authentic Germanic traditions. Larpers often dress in costumes and "play" at being vikings or what not.
@@torstenscott7571 Thanks! Now I know...😝
@@Karina-Loves-Andreas you are most welcome.
Girl here, I have astral projected many times, but never on purpose. It actually used to really frighten me. I can lucid dream by choice though. I also sometimes have inceptions in my dreams because I will tell someone I know I'm dreaming they will say I'm crazy go back to sleep , I go back to sleep and wake up in the same dream , it becomes a cycle
Hello!
I am a lucid dreamer too. Have you ever looked into dream yoga? Charley Morley has some books about lucid dreaming and using it as a means to explore and expand your own psyche/ soul.
Truth bomb.
Everything physical is male.
Anything primordial/spiritual within say, radio waves, light waves, dark matter/energy is female.
Infact. You are not a word.
Words belong in the box. You pull them out when needed.
The soul/logical/creative brain is your wife.
The spirit/fire is your daughter.
You are the husband
Any doings/creations are your sons
Dont biological gender your brain or heart. You dont wanna be vagina heart eye ear head person.
Doesn't compute
^^^^^
I have inception dreams as well! It's so trippy and can be down right annoying.
@@phosallphosphor-us-death-e3966 Myself as a soul is feminine and masculine:) my physical body is female but I know in past lives I have been a Male
@@chelsduscher6551 yes, trippy is the best feeling to describe it! Funny story in one of my inception dreams I told my mother I knew I was dreaming and she said no you just ate a bunch of mushrooms!
I'm totally up for a two hour podcast. I'm sponging all this up and your channel is one of my favorite sources. I've been doing my own research into ancient Norse traditions for over 3 years now and just want all the accurate history I can get. Thanks so much for all you do and have a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year in 2022.
I remember reading about these human* valkyries, and my grandfather awnsered me that they where not human. They where aspects of a single supreme goddess. The doughters of Ran that claimed the those that died at sea where similar. So where the norns. All aspects of this one goddess that was the wherry source of life.
He told me that I had to read the stories again and think of the valkyries as personifications of fate. To master fate was to have their love. Odin- having mastered more fate/destiny then anyone had all "their love".
This is why valkyries are so prominent in hero stories. To master fate, or seek out destiny is central to the hero mythos.
The Arthurian legends discribed this same divine force as a golden cup. More modern books by Dan Brown speak about something called the divine feminine. Ainchent Greek worship tied to old germanic tribes tell of a cult of initiation where the highest worship was that of the female aspect*
Religion confuses us as much as it helps us understand truth. Jordan Peterson discribed religious belief as something you could tie directly to behavior. So our true religious belief would come out in how we behaved, regardless of what we consciously thought about the matter.
I know that I worship this same goddess. I would act irrationally, and possibly heroicly to save woman and children. I would naturally behave in a way that was non threatening around them. I would seek to nurture and protect a pregnant woman. This is the divine feminin. The ability to bring life to this world. To reproduce, and further our kind. If it happens that men reading this would also/have/see themselves jumping into danger when this precious "thing" is threatened- then according to Peterson this counts as an indication of religious belief.
Because to impromptu risk ones life to protect strange woman or children from modern dangers in modern society objectively isn't rational- I agree with him. The deed is a religious sacrament. An act of worship
You are a lovely man. Thank you.
have you ever been challenged to "save" someone? It's more than just a fantasy or wishing. Not sure you have any idea what it takes to jump to save someone's life.
@@Sheepdog1314 Right. Assume away. You don't know anything about me or my storie. You have no idea what I have or have not done or been through. Your assumptions make an ass out of you. Fair warning only
@@knutkarstensen3114 Sheepdog is a troll. Don't sweat him. As far as YOU are concerned: you are a decent, kind gentleman. Have a lovely New Year!!😊
This comment might be slightly off topic, but in a sense not too much. I also think that the Valkyries are aspects of the divine feminine as well as spirits working on her behalf. I practice Utiseta a lot and it has led me into these insights (sort of). The old Norse (Germanic) mythology/religion clearly has roots in older traditions that has partly been lost in time. The people that settled Northern Europe once migrated in from the east, from a common ancestry that now are politically correct called Proto-Indo-European (originally the Aryans). (Æsir or Aesir) means those who came from the East). In the Hindu religion, the Vedas, there are traces of similarities to the Old Norse religion - or the other way around. The drink called Soma, is probably the sacred mead.
These female entities we call Valkyries are very real. So are other spiritual beings, of different nature. Among these are disembodied dead humans and dark evil entities. (which I believe are degressed spirits of once live people who have descended into darkness and madness due to their wicked ways). In modern western term we may say that the spirits inhabit the astral realm. Spirit possession is also very real, but not in the way we think of it with spirits entering someones physical bodies and taking it over (though it can happen, but it is not very common).
To understand this one has to understand how a human is composed with all its layers of "bodies". There are five of them. The energy body (The Vedas call it Pranamaya kosha) extends far ouside the physical body and inside it is the mental body (where thoughts arise from). These two "layers" are what we call the astral body in modern terms, and it's what some psychics see parts of as the aura. Within these are the physical body. The energy body can be thought of as magnetic. It attracts energy of a similar frequency. The energy body of many humans are "possessed", or hooked up to entities with similar frequency in their energy bodies.
One should be aware of this, because entities can cling to your energy body and they will influence the mental body within and manifest thoughts and impulses in the mind that one believes to be ones own thoughts. This is actually very common. Most of the worlds leaders today are completely possessed in this way. And they have a nasty tendency to sink deeper and degress into more and more evil. It's a reason for the saying that power corrupts. The lust for power attracts entities that are hungry for power too, and some of these are very ancient and very, very evil. The plague tormenting the world today are created by these men, and so are the "cure".
All this being said, I'll turn back to the devine feminine and the Valkyries. These are the entities you want your energy body to be influenced by.
So, let me welcome you to the Matrix. And I mean that in a literal sense. Etymologically it comes from the word 'Mater' "Mother", and it means "Uterus" or "Womb" and also in later Latin can mean "Source". 'Mater' is also the origin of the word "Matter".
What many don't know, is that all of the manifested Universe, all matter, is created out of a feminine energy. God is actually a Goddess. The word 'Nature' comes from 'Natus' meaning birth (e.g nativity, native, pre natal etc.)
Even the body of men is actually a 'distorted' female body. The testicles came from the ovaries, the prostate from the uterus and the rest have their female counterpart too. It never was the other way around. The two sexes (there are only two) only appeared after enormously long stretches of time through the evolution of life.
This knowledge was known for thousands of years on this planet in the ages preceding this one (more than 12000 years ago). The Mother was the Supreme Being and society was matriarchal.
The age we are in now, is an age of darkness. These ages cycles from one to another over vast stretches of time, and they are necessary for the expansion of consciousness. This is where and why we got spiritually distorted. It came to fruition with the three patriarchal monotheistic religions we know today. For thousands of years leading up to this, we find different cultures and mythologies with a gradual shift in the mode of thinking. The old Germanic and old Norse one being somewhat in between in their understanding of the Universal order, but they still had a great deal of respect for the feminine aspect of creation.
The patriarchy rose through the minds of lesser men who feared the feminine and sought to subvert and control it. Never was the hate of the feminine greater than now.
These 'men' have done everything their twisted fantasy could come up with to destroy women and by that the feminine and by that the Goddess. They've burned her at the stakes, kept her in veils, locked her up, told her to shut up and not speak and kept her from protecting her children (the last being an unforgivable transgression)
It's even in our language, when we say that something is irrelevant, we say it doesn't matter...
The last great cataclysm, and the fall of the great civilization of Atlantis, was brought about by these lesser men. When the remnants slowly rose from the ashes, the patriarchal religions rose with us, and are still "calling the shots" (yes, war is a product of the patriarchy).
I can feel the energy of The Goddess. And I can tell you this; She has had enough. In this age, when she returns, she will return as Kali. And the Valkyries are riding again, and they can easily be tuned into.
There will be hard times ahead of us because the patriarchs won't go silently into the night. But there is an awakening going on, and more and more people are sensing this energy. The shift is approaching, but it's always darkest before dawn. Even many men today, who are truly masculine in the real sense of the word, understands this. And they are willing to do what it takes, as Knut Karstensen wrote in his comment. I totally agree. It's a religious sacrament. An act of worship.
In the Albanian Tradition we have some kind of valkyries , you can find them in the forest as land spirits.
They're called "Zana" or "Nuset e Malit " (wifes of the mountain) and they can bless a man giving him strenght and courage
Faleminderit! I traveled three weeks in Albania in 2016 (and loved it there), but unfortunately it was before I came to my own ancestral (Germanic, Celtic, Iberian) Pagan worldview and Path, so now I can understand such traditions as close parallels to what I know about mine. What are some other animistic traditions that have survived among Albanians? Is there this ancestral understanding from the Illyrians? I have found that folk traditions and folklore are remnants of what our pre-Christian ancestors had, so can be reconstructed to reveal their actual meanings.

Girl here from Des Moines, IA, USA 😊 I Love your channel and knowledge of the Norse! Found out I have about 50 % Norse DNA mostly Swedish, then Danish and a little bit of Norwegian ancestors ( and the rest is English, Scottish, German and Baltic too) when I did my DNA test. I never knew on my father's side much because my grandmother was adopted. I love finding my heritage and learning facts about it! Thank you for all you do!
I'm one of those ladies you spoke of! Practicing sending out my inner beast/ valkyrie to assist those I love. We may be rare but we still exist😁
What makes you think you are ?
Grown ass girl here. Love your work. You've opened doors for me and my practice with the resources you've provided. I can't thank you enough. Would absolutely love to hear more about your spiritual experiences... would you make a 3rd channel dedicated to the less 'academic' stuff and more spiritual practice? or a discord maybe? (I'm sure it's a time factor thing though, you're a busy dude)
Would love to learn more, or perhaps put names to the experiences I'm already having. There's so much nonsense out there, it's so refreshing to learn from someone who has a more practical approach.
Really appreciate sending us in the right direction for studying too.
Take care, and thanks for what you do :)
I second you reading the sagas out loud. Longform here on YT! Illustrations and personal commentary by you, sir. Excellent oration and presentation!
I’m a lady and I am very interested in the Valkyries. I l love your videos and passion for history. My grandparents immigrated to Canada. I go back every couple of years to go see my family. ❤
You have another woman viewer here, I watch all your videos and I love them! Very educational and well explained. I have learned a lot from watching your channel and I look forward to seeing new videos as you post them!
Fellow spiritual woman here, I would listen to a 5 hour podcast on this subject in all honesty. Thank you for your videos, I've learned so much! And plan to continue 🙏🐚🪶
Valkyries have always fascinated me. They are one of my favorite types of deities in Norse Paganism.
I'm a girl I love how you really dig to get the truth I watch you all the time thanks for all your work ....to know the truth..I watch your videos
hey one of the 5 ladies you always speak of lmao i definately do dream work and I 100% agree with you . I have gotten those messages from the ancestors in meditation and dreams very grateful to have actual physical sources to back it up
I love history, especially military history, and love learning more about my Germanic roots. Although I am a Christian I really do appreciate your work. Thank you from Nebraska in the United States! Fare you well brother!
Yes, do a video on the Norn/Valkyrie crazy experience you had please. Though anecdotal, that is an experience I know is worth the story around the camp fire for us of this community channel. I think many of us who come here have our own anecdotal stories to tell.
I feel that this break down and sourced material is very crucial for Neo-Animists like ourselves. I don’t enjoy ever saying “I feel” concerning my analysis. To feel in place of reason first is a true faux pas in most situations, but this? Wow. This is information I have needed for quite a long time and never had the resources to obtain it. This video will be crucial in the future, many will come to this. Great work, as usual! Blessaður
I am roughly 60% Scandinavian (mostly Swedish) and 40% Eastern European (Polish Baltic region) and have been a lucid dreamer since childhood. I have attempted deep meditation with the intent of astral projection but am still wary because of some fears I've encountered in lucid dreaming regarding my level of control. My great grandmother was from Vasterbotten and left memoirs of the Sami reindeer herders there. She was named Hildur.
No need to fear. But first do spiritual purification and make sure you master protection spells . Good luck ❤
I cannot believe it’s taken me this long to discover your channel! I love how informative you are on Norse history & culture, but also the way you present the information. I think I’m 6 videos in, and it’s a good thing I have the day off because I’m going to binge hard lol thank you for your channel ❤️
WOULD TOTALLY WATCH A PODCAST ON VALKYRIES!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain Norse Mythology so well to us all around the world. I'm in Australia and find this absolutely fascinating. Keep and the great work and have a blessed year
Are you kidding? I would love a two hour podcast on Valkyries. My sisters and I would love it.
So interesting, and well done. Thanks for the info.
I'm a lady . . . I enjoy your channel very much. Goes with my interest in history, the intuitive and shamanic work I do, and my heritage which is mostly Celtic and Nordic with a dash of Cherokee.😁🌟💕
He says that nobody would watch a 2 hour long podcast over valkeries, but the truth is that most of us would totaly watch that
Odin has given you so much of his wisdom, you can see it in your blue eyes. They're brighter than they originally were. ❤
Lady Here too! I love the solid info backed by historical data. I'd watch the 2 hour podcast.
I’m sure if you had a pod cast anywhere from 1-24 hours long (or longer). We would still listen to you. Your sharing of knowledge is always appreciated
Podcasts yes lol he should to a podcast even if it is a few episodes
Hey! Always watching with interest your videos. Very clear and easy to listen. Thanks! Would it be possible for you to make video about what scandinavian sources says about relations with Baltic people- Curonians, Prussians, Semigallians, Estonians etc.?
Thanks for all the work and thought you put into this interesting and important topic.
HAPPY NEW YEAR'S! Another great vid!
Excellent video - great stuff. Happy New Year : good fortune.
Thank you for all your knowledge. I wish you many blessings!!
Excellent job in putting much information in a short amount of time! I’d love to hear more! 🌹
Thank you for the resources, your interpretations, your thoughts on this subject. I appreciate your work.
fantastic video = thank you. I had a quantum hypnosis session where I experienced my own death in this life and as I died I 'released' a Valkyrie who comforted me in my moment of death. She was joined by her sisters who were all celebrating that we had won. I was then transported back to my 'home' and was able to explain how home was - how we lived - what we did and what we ate etc. We were fighting a battle involving a crystal city/ Incredible mind blowing experience - and all without the aid of any substances. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for sharing more information about the more information based on the Valkyries!
Interesting and much appreciated!
I recently found your channel and I love it! Thank you!
Happy New Year Michael, wish you success on your yt channel !
Thank your for your videos, I’m learning so much!!
Thanks for the informative video. I could personally sit here for ages listening to your content. A lot of time and effort has been put into these videos. I have experienced moments of Lucid Dreaming, it felt like I was there in person. I have always for as long as I can remember had this happen to me. When I was a child I had no idea and thought they were "normal" and I would wake unsure about what I dreamt but as I've grown older I've felt more open to them and not as confused afterwards. I would love to watch more videos like this and will definatly check out your shapeshifter/hugr video.
Awesome so much I’ve already thought about ! Definitely so much to agree with ! Love your channel Brother!
Happy New Year and you are wrong to think that we'd not watch a two hour podcast!!! Thank you so much
Thank you for keeping it real! Awesome work 💪
hey mate I'm a new sub and I've watched your "Norse Deities Translated and Interpreted" playlist through along with other vids; you've really helped me gain new insight and perspective in regards to norse mythology and how to honor/practice it as my belief. I'm at the point where I actually NEED to purchase an old norse dictionary. Reading the poetic edda again but looking up all the translations is something I'm really excited about now! Great video here and I look forward to more! Cheers :)
Very interesting and enlightening. Thanks for this viewpoint ✨ Will be looking into your other video about shapeshifting.
I love this one, watched it a while ago when I wasn't logged in. I have been so positively affected by learning more about my Norse ancestors and this wondrous culture. I have tremendous respect for those who have gone before me. How can they be anything less than amazing? It fills me with pride to know that women were regarded well, respected and also seen as gorgeous and powerful Valkyries. I'm a girl but am using my husband's photo cuz just tired of being trolled on ytube. bleh.
This was great! Thank you, brother, for the information.
So glad I found this channel, Norse history, Gods and culture has always fascinated me (Greek a close second) and you are great to listen to.
This is an excellent video and I really appreciate how in depth you go with your topics, thank you. Also, I would willingly watch much longer videos, if you are ever so inclined to make some. Happy New Year everyone. Best wishes to all for the upcoming year.
Oh you know I so watched every sec of this video, with S. J. Tuckers Valkyrie playing in the background ! Very validating interpretation to me, I do a lot of dream time work & this video just hit home, it's so reflective of what I do. With Berkana's guidance to help me channel that energy properly. Day time meditations I love, especially in nature or along a beach . Funny you mention the battle at Dublin, I was there on vaca a few years ago. Walking along the ocean side & piers it was so quite no one was out the weather was wet cold but the breeze was not bad it didn't bother me at all. I had some pretty wild post cognitive flashes there.
You're really passionate about this, and that's why I love it. I'm willing to try, maybe I found this channel for a reason. So thank you.
Loved this! Thank you 🙏
Excellent, and very informative. Thank you so much for sharing. And thank you for sharing your sources as well. This is by far, my favorite source for learning, about the Norse Pagan Religeon, Norse History, Magic, Animism, customs, and traditions.
Amazing video once again. Thank you for all your knowledge from North Carolina
The valkyrie in 'The Northman' trailer is amazing! Please create a Valkyrie podcast episode! 🤩
love your work dude keep it up bro
Please do make a 2 hour podcast on this!! You’re spot on! ☀️
Gratitude from 🇧🇷
You've got my attention. Very informative thank you
Thoroughly enjoy your Historical interpretations and perspectives.
Girl is here 😄 thanks and Happy New Year 🎄🎅🥳
Great video. It’s prompted so many questions. And answers about some of my experiences as of late. Thank you!
You said in this video, that you could do a 2 hour podcast on valkyries but no-one would watch. Well please do!! I would watch and i am really enjoying all of your videos my only complaint is they are not long enough. I could literally watch all day and quite often do. Even re-watching my favorites in the evenings while im ready for sleep. Happy new year Mike keep up the great work I cannot wait for your book.
Please post another video on this. I would like to see more of your information as I've pondered on this for a while reading the Eddas. ❤️
Hi, I am new to your chanel, but I must say; I have never heard such accurate and informative videos about Scandinavian mitology before.
It would be lovely if you would discuss and explain some of the sagas instead of just using them as sources.
I would love to hear you reading them. 📖☺️
please do more on Valkries
Thanks for this video. I have always found the Valkyrie very spiritual beings. As others have said I could listen for hours on anything you are enlightening me with.
I just wanted to say I was so happy to find you... I don't comment normally. I needed to find this.
I have always viewed it as a form of channeling similar to the male berserker. this was how there was both a physical and a meta physical element.
Great grandma,♥️ your channel.
YES!! PODCAST PLEASE!!!
I like how thorough u are how u even said the oe cognate of Valkyrie
Having sort of recently come out of Christianity, I have been super-reluctant to look at any after-life or spirits stuff upon learning of my Danish Viking heritage. But a recent event has me scratching my head. I learned about part of my ancestry and that there is a ruins of the house built by a Gott nearby. I went to visit it. It's in raw woods so it was tough going for my almost-64yo self, but when I saw it I was filled with emotion somehow. I had to touch it. All that's left is basically just one wall with a fireplace built of fieldstone. The property also has four grave sinks that are unidentified: I would presume them to be builder and wife and then (due to primogeniture) son and wife, but I don't know. Anyway, as I was trying to navigate around to take pictures and to look up the fireplace flu, my feet got tangled in the vines and rocks and, losing my balance, I started to fall down the 15-foot embankment. I SHOULD have fallen and gotten pretty hurt out there in the middle of the woods, which would have been very bad, very dangerous, but at the last moment, I felt "caught" and prevented from falling. That's the only way I can describe it. For now I will chalk it up to the loving arms of my 6xgreat grandfather who built the house. HONOR those ancestors, folks.
An incredible story, and thank you for the reminder that our great ancestors are still involved with our living journeys.
Practicing eclectic witch. I would be very interested in a deeper dive into Valkyrie’s. 😅
Hey Man Great Videos. Im in agreeance with my peers here. A 1-2 hour long video on these topics would be Great. Im a beginner in Norse traditions im ordering the books you referred hopefully next week i can start my journey Officially. But these videos definitely opened my mind even further. Thanks Man Great Content 👍🏼
Woman here....Love this video...so glad I found someone who can explain Valkyries and Norse Magic /Mythology without turning it into feminist/gender confused crap! So inspirational!!! Subbing!
Hello all. I also love this channel and all the Norse educational videos. Per your recommendations, I have purchase two books and reading them with much interest. I would totally watch a long video. Probably in two 1 hour segments. Thank you so much for your research and willingness to share your knowledge. JulieAnn from California.
Love your video, ❤🧙
I hope you can talk more on this topic. I most defenetly would sit through a 1 or 2 hr listening to you.
Wow thank you for this valuable insight. I have a soul aspect that is in the Valkyrie realms; while the soul aspect does not live within my body, it is apart of my soul and I can send it forward to battle, just like you were saying about the Hugr.
We are all multidimensional beings - our soul is split off into 1000s of shard aspects, which make up the entire soul as one. So, it makes sense that “back in time” they were aware of this “superpower” and could utilize it to its fullest capacity. But, the truth is we can all do the same thing in this day in age in the now moment. This information has been lost in time. You are here to bring it back into this reality, so that it can be used once again, so thank you for your service to humanity!
I clicked on this video, because I had a dream about Valkyries like 2 years back. It was a crazy dream, but it kind of helped me get my shit together.
great topic
Just catching up on this video. Going to watch this again. Steeped with many possibilities for a seeker.
Skuld is considered as a Walkyrie, and Urd and Verdandi as well? Or not? What is the difference between the Nornes and the Walkyries ? I’m French but I love your videos and your work which are very impressive and amazing, the sources are always said, and you have an extraordinary way of thinking in each videos we learn something ! Thanks you for being who you are… can’t wait for your next visit !
Thank you for validating my personal beliefs. ~Hadley
Marsha Baker here--I love Valkyries. Is my steam name, lol. I would love one of your 2 hr vids to dive deeper into them. Trying to learn more about my ancestor's history & beliefs. Also, in the past 5 months have gotten into meditation and that aspect of spiritualism so it follows right along. Now finding this seems like one of those "do do do do" coincidence things lol.
Great video, very informative. I don't think you needed to rush through it though - I'd have watched it if it was longer, or over a few episodes if it meant you said all the things you wanted to say.
This is a vital education. And call out. Will look into what you suggest. I was once a healer. Many decades ago. So it can be true again.
I would love the info on the meditations! I've seen myself as a Valkyrie in one of my past lives.
I definitely want the full deep dive! I'm ok with 2 hours or more.
Thank you for sharing! Also the shape shifting video says no longer available.
I'd gladly listen to a 2 hour Valkyrie podcast sir
Fascinating. Theory, the name meaning anything with a spear could be a reference to the staff witches carried. And 100%agree that with the right mind someone can achieve communication through spirit.
So good to hear these things spoken about honestly. This myth of viking warrior women has no archaeological back up. The idea of projecting "magick" shields makes perfect sense. A shield isn't just a physical shelter from violence either. It can be a shield for so many things in so many ways. Osteologists are the key.
