The terrible times when official accounts destroy historical telling of events, and once its gone you never get it back.
Very interesting topic.Arithianity will save us all.
😂😂
Love that
Enjoyed very much ❤. Lightening lava!!!, you rule in theatre & scientific magic in your stories (history)telling. Such a joy you are! Thank you 😊.
The evangelisation of Iceland in 20 minutes. Absolutely superb 😊
❤
Delomelanicon, above, coins the term “Arithianity” - I like it. Also I’ve always liked Arith’s pretending to read at the end of his videos, although I much prefer him playing with his cats ( I love cats ). Blessings to all,❤.
Thank you Arith for sharing.
I'm listening to you while having breakfast. Now I understand how my mother, who said she was christian, always included pagan explanations for things afterward. When I was young this was a bit confusing, but now I have an appreciation for all she told me, the seen and unseen forces that were all around us. I love the mesolithic and am sad about all those axes people made in the neolithic and cut down so many trees. This was the beginning of the end to me. I think I need to see what all books you do have! I'm reading about the red ochre people that Sir Graham Clark wrote about, and the 4000 year old circumnavigational marine culture tha twas shared by both the east and west coasts of the Atlantic.
A morning that I wake up to a new notification from this channel means a good day🌼🌿 thanks again, Arith!🧡
Great video thank you. Listened to Endurvodar really softly in West Kennett Long Barrow yesterday, magical experience!

loved it very informative on christian influence and very entertaining !!!! and i am one of those nerds that watches to the very end :) and have often thought "put the bloody book down ! " hahahaha glad to see you so happy kiddo !
Love the end n you busted me I was feeding my critters but def took you out of pocket as I head to garden with sage n rattle 🐦⬛
Very interesting Arith! 🔥 I hope you cover some of the recent religious freedom movements in Iceland and Scandinavia. Some stories also involve lighting strikes near churches and gov buildings ⚡ sounds like modern sagas and I'm wondering how much is storytelling embellishments...and what we can know about what really happened 😮
Yes, not many know that Jesus led a pedophile ring and that the early Christians took part in Greek mystery rites either. They also ingested hallucinatives. I think everybody, if they weren't brainwashed, would understand that there is something off with the Christianity cult. Just take the motifs and actions in the Mass for instance: drinking blood and eating flesh. But people have been brain washed in the exotericianity process by the Church and schools. The real deal Christianity is the version celebrated by the phedophlie Priests in the Vatican (look for more information on the Lady Babylon UA-cam channel. The 'Jesus drugged Judas' video explains everything).
Muito bom outro vídeo. É frustrante saber que as únicas escritas que temos sobre as culturas nórdicas foram escritas por cristãos 200 anos depois. Mas pronto, é melhor do que não ter nada. A end screen e as piadas no meio do vídeo são muito engraçadas. Obrigado por outro vídeo.
Ideia para um vídeo: dicas para não nos sentirmos frustrados a fazer arte.
(Falar sobre como tocar um instrumento ou pintar um quadro e gostar do processo, como a arte era feita pelos povos indígenas, sem pôr pressão em nós mesmos e expressarmos nos a nós mesmos. Seria uma grande ajuda para mim, obrigado 🤠🙂🦆
Interesting as usual. I really had to smile at the humorous ending.
Very interesting information, my friend. And, your humor and personality really add to your presentations. Loved the, 'No sh#t, Sherlock', haven't heard that one in a while and, there are people besides your mother who watch to the end 🤣 Take care, dear Arith
Thank you Arith!
Very interesting!
❤
Loved your presentation interesting and amusing overall. From what I have read of course on the internet that Neo-Paganism is slowly growing in Iceland.
TY Arith 🦋
I watched to the end - as always - you, man of little, so little faith in your followers! 🤣Thanks, it was interesting and entertaining too!
Where did you get your lyre harp? I've been looking for a good one.
Scanning... Scanning... Scanning... ... ... Green .
"What the hell am I reading?"😂
Icelanders were the kings of diss tracks 😂
Christ is king
You should tell us which book you are pretending to read at the end - we can then have a pretend book club 🤣
I love this idea! 📖
All European conversions should be declared to be illegal.
For all of them were by force.
Either by an outsider and military force, or by the local leaders.
The people as such, had little or no choice.
I have always contended that Norse and Celtic paganism have the same source.
It is specifically with Iceland (correctly Aesland) that correlations within the two spiritualities is historically revealed, and preserved.
Celtic history and lore within the Celtic lands has been all but obliterated, or at least Christianised. Certainly before Romanisation, very little is known, or is guessed by speculation from remaining monuments and artifacts.
It is also true that within Scandinavia, and Germania, the Norse lore has been destroyed or decimated by Christians. It is therefore, quite irregular that much of the Norse knowledge comes from such sources as Poetic Edda. From a pagan group outside of Norse territory.
However, it is interesting to note, that Norwegian colonisation was not to a barren land. It is accurately documented that the island was actually inhabited at that time. By Irish monks. Not Christian monks though, but Pagan monks.
Within Celtic lands, Christianisation was synonymous with Romanisation. Basically Roman Catholicism.
Within Celtic Britain, the "priest" class (although this is technically misdescriptive) were the infamous Druids. It was therefore important for Romanisation (Christianisation) to remove this pagan elite. Which they progressively accomplished, resulting in the Druids "last stand" at the Holy Island of Anglesey. There is then some confusion within accounts (depending on the allegiance of the source) as to the fate of the Druids. The Romans claim they completely wiped out the Druids. Some Irish accounts (the Christian ones) claim most escaped to Eire (Ireland). Pagan Irish accounts claim that most of the Druids escaped to an island, although not specified, this was assumed to be The Isle of Man. Modern scholars however, have found no evidence of this mass migration on the Isle of Man. So to which island could the pagan accounts be referring to ?
I speculate that the inhabitants of Iceland when colonised, were not specifically Irish (Celtic) monks, but descendants of the Druid refugees from Anglesey. Who escaped to the islands of the Gods (Aesland). Presumably with a fair contingent of "folk", because Druids were notoriously celibate. I also speculate that the commonality within Celtic and Norse / Germanic practices, such as tumulus, stone circles such as that at Hunnfelt, and many social and spiritual practices, were no accident.
It is also unclear from DNA analysis, the specifics of the pre-colonised Icelandic people. This is mainly due to the mass influx of Scandinavians following colonisation. Any prior populations genetics has been extremely diluted, almost beyong identification.
It is important to understand however, that the colonisers did not find Icelandic pagan practices strange or foreign. Indeed, they fully understood them as indigenous to their own spirituality. Which further suggests a commonality between Norse and Celtic pagan beliefs and society. Even if the assumed Druids were misidentified as Irish pagan monks.
Modern scholars suggest that this Celtic / Norse commonality is due to the spread of Norse / Celtic paganism starting from Indo Europe and spreading steadily westward through Scandinavia, to Germania, Briton, north west France, North Spain, and Portugal. I refute this theory, from the simple perspective that by far the oldest Celtic monuments and archeaology is to be found in Portugal and Galicia. The dating of sites progressively getting younger, the further east you look. This strongly suggests a rise in Celtic / Norse paganism spreading from west to east, and not vice versa.
So where exactly did this culture arise from initially ? This gives rise to much older and deeper questions. The Guanches were a people who were blond, fair hair, tall, white with blue eyes, who lived on "The Fortunate Isles".
Interested in pagan replies.
