On this day I call upon the beast May your name and deeds never be forgotten, again Never to be condemned Never to be bound And the power which you bear may never be sealed by prejudice and let no man use the blindness of the mind as an excuse
The beast lives in me and I struggle to find balance for it feels so good to let the beast out fully and i feel hole but violent and drove by instinct and cravings but when it's suppressed I feel hollow and empty and with out much of my power i need to find somewhere in the middle I also feel like my mind is blinded when the wolf in me is suppressed I need control or just to let the wolf run free and wild
I think you would admire making a video with me got several things you would be interested in meaning of things that actually do get out meaning ancient things that do come in Channel through I think you would admire them and I think they would like you be cautious because you can read people's thoughts at times
Wow I thought this was going to be a dumb video but you got me hooked in the first 3 minutes. This is basically the premise of Carl Jung's teachings. We all have a shadow or a beast within us.
"Religion is the spear that wounds the beast and puts it in the cage. And we succumb to that fate and we will never feel whole." Brilliant. Thanks for this video.
I often wonder about the characterization of wolves as the aggressive. wild and violent side of nature. I have a wolf, he is intelligent gentle and extremely playful. He is mischievous if he is ignored but when he is part of the activity he thrives and is less aggressive than an ordinary dog. He hates confinement and to be alone. He has allowed a rescued duckling to sit right next to him and eat out of his bowl. My cats will rub up against him purring. Wolves are far superior to humans in controlling their behavior.
It's probably because in medieval Europe wolves were said to be less shy than they are now, and very common - and if humans would stray in the woods unarmed or poorly armed, chances were higher that a wolf or a pack would snatch a child in away for an easy snack. Though since humanity thinned out the woodlands, and developed more dangerous weapons, wolves grew more withdrawn and stayed away from humans. That's why people are still afraid of wolves these days, even though wolves don't really form much of a threat for humans anymore.
We had a wolf too, she was highly intelligent, very sweet and gentle, loved to be affectionate. Humans are far more dangerous, wild, and violent than animals are.
For those who are interested in the topic, Roderick Dale wrote a thesis on the Berserkers that gives details about this cult. He basically analyzed several literary sources referring to them and backed their existence with archaeological findings. He also raised an important question, did the berserkers go berserk? The answer is no, berskangr was not induced by mushrooms like it was often presumed, but a ritual that helped these warriors to conjure this animalistic nature before the battle. Berserkers existed but not the way literature depicted them.
Great video, so much information. If anyone wanted to get this information for themselves they would have to spend a lot of time going to libraries and visiting museums, talking to Curators etc, this is an invaluable channel.
I was a very wild child, it took me a very long time to learn to control my temper and rage. I found a better release for those energies as I reached adulthood, but never quite controlled my curiosity. The violence is under control, but the wanderlust calls me all the time. I have also found archery is quite calming. Ps. Love the den.
I still struggle with anger and rage. I work out 4 times a week, play music and I still cant harness this wolf in me. I have felt empty my whole life. Now I know why. Have not used violence in a very long time but it still eats me alive. I'll be taking long walks in the woods more often. Thank you
Once again, spoken with true wisdom. No light without dark, no peace without war. Humanity must maintain a constant balance of our primal and civilized selfs. I feel this is the reason we like to have pets, it's the connection to the primal we yearn for.
I love the introspective nature of your videos. It's very thought provoking and brings a fresh light to worn concepts. The mix of theological insights and archeological understanding is wonderful to listen to.
There is something primal and profoundly... human, when an individual connects to and outwardly expresses the wolf. The two of us have a long and deeply spiritual relationship woven through time. I highly recommend everyone to, at least once a year, find some solitude and snarl, howl, growl, flex your fingers and curl them into offensive claws. Run. Just let that animal side of you STRETCH for a moment! Then meditate, breathe, connect to the environment and realize yourself back to the 'docile' human we are most of the time. It is such a healthy engagement with release. It's probably going to feel really stupid and weird at first but just immerse yourself and your mind will switch. It is part of the human experience we should not ignore it ❤
Wow! This is probably the deepest video I have ever heard. It relates to me because all that you said is why I go hunting every year. I take one week by myself and go to the woods for a hunt. I always told my family that it was just something I felt I needed to do, not just to get away, but to reconnect with my inner self and let my wiled side run free where I know it won’t get me in trouble. Thank you, for this video.
This video has helped me and understand what I've been going through for years. Your knowledge has brought alot of closure to me and help me understand alot. The way explained everything was so right on point it's beautiful. I thank you for your knowledge and sharing this video and taking the time to do so.
I met a young man who was suffering from his seperating himself from his inner wolf. I will admit I'm not fully in control not a teacher I tend to feel empty and guidance myself. But I helped this young man continue to help him I only 26 he is 17 he is better he is at peace and one with his inner beast so I told him his peace is ment to share with others for others to find peace
I love your channel mate. Your a clever and interesting bloke. I've watched soamy of your vids and I find them really interesting. Much love from England.
Dear Arith, second heartfelt comment on the same video before it even ended. One of the very best expressions of the frustrations many are feeling. Greetings from the cold, and the mountains. C.
Hello, I admire your videos a lot! I loved this one specifically and I have a reflection: Fenrir is the rage put in chains by Odin’s request, and Odin (specifically Wotan) is the deity connected with anger in battle... can you talk a little about it? What would Odin intended with this attitude? And later, the rage itself in a figure of Fenrir killed Odin... I think the uncontrolled rage destroys us, of course, but I would like to hear your point of view. Thank you very much!
Very interesting point of view! And one much more logical than Odinn and Laufeys Son being diametric oppositions. The chaining of Fenris as allegory for an age of "enlightenment", or Odinn recognising he must utilise a cooler head in order to prevent the Twilight is fascinating.
I would very much enjoy hearing your thoughts on the interactions and relationship between the Fenrir wolf and Tyr, Mr. Härger. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, knowledge, and expertise.
(1st) Love your vidoes man, much in detail and interesting as always, so haply you went into detail with reflecting the human nature and that of nature together as one 💖
Thank you for sharing and contributing information on this topic. This video popped up when i needed it haha. Been having dreams about werewolves amongst other things in my life, this video brought some clarification thanks :)
Okay, I left my home for several times in almost 2yrs and went camping in the wild for 6 to 7 days each time. My reason for this is that I am feeling prisoned in my appartment and I need space and the relaxed energy of the forest and/or the ocean. Even staying on the streets of Germany for 5 days gave me such a boost, Talking to people over there, even police officers, to share our thoughts of the world... Sometimes I just need to go, it feels like a certain energy is with me than and that it truly feels like a call... Even overthinking this call by going to sleep first before you go is already changing the vibe and the positive outcomes I felt... Thank you very much again for your help!!
I have come to expect insight and useful analyses from your videos, and lately, each one seems to surpass the previous ones; today's video is no exception to this pattern. Thank you for such a powerful, life-affirming message.
So many things First, I refuse to place trust in those who deny in words, action, or attitude, the existence of their shadow. The most terrible things in the history of mankind have been done by those who believe that they act only for the for the 'greater good'. One of my greatest struggles is to accept & control my shadow. Second viewing the universe as duality of things, it is important to notice that the only aesir to not withdraw from Fenrir in fear was the god of honor & order Tyr. Perhaps he understood the duality of their nature's? Great video thank you for putting this information into gnostosphere.
Good stuff my friend, well spoken! I understand your message intellectually but also feel it too. I would say that we have gone too far, you said violence is a bad thing, I feel we have forgotten that the real problem with violence is(to quote the Dali Lama) its unpredictable consequences. Controlled violence with good intentions can be very positive, think of hammering a nail into wood in order to build something. Whereas a simple smile can cause great pain and destruction when the intention is malicious.
A very credible explanation of the more proficient warrior class of aggressive tribal people, like the Norse and Celts. (No insult intended as I have both in my ancestry). You adeptly filled in historical 'gaps', like how this separate class of ferocious fighters would most certainly have to be kept isolated from the rest of their tribe. I feel sad for these wolf/bear warriors. Their humanity was stripped , albeit for the salvation of the rest of their people, but then they were shut away like dangerous war dogs, unable to ever enjoy the life they had killed for. They remind me of how the great Irish Wolfhound nearly went extinct, and why. They had been used as consummate large game and wolf killers; and also as battle dogs as they were huge enough to pull a man down off a horse. When people became 'civilized', and the need for these huge hounds to hunt and kill large targets ended, they were allowed to simply die out. Excellent documentary Arith, I really did enjoy it. Thank you.
As one who was a full time traveler for the last four plus years. I can not even tell begin to tell the most authentic and primal feel that I had felt around a bonfire one night; as we had all gathered in the desert in the southwest of the United States. The drum circle and the beat definitely brings out our most primal self. It was something that I had never experienced, but yet I must have, way back in time. The beat of those drums just had brought out another side of me. I just wished that even though I was in a group of people, I was alone. It would have been an amazing moment if I could have shared it with someone on a mental and even physical plane, but I was alone. Currently I am in my new small town and will be purchasing off grid land soon. I do realize that the bears in the area tend to sleep in the winter months, but the wolves do not. I have dealt with coyotes before, but wolves are another beast altogether. I don’t even wish to run into one or be surrounded by a pack as I go about my daily chores. Those things definitely, put the fear in me like nothing else will.
Wildness does not equal violence- that is more a human providence but when the wildness in humans is suppressed and not accessed in a healthy way it can re-surface in acts of violent cruelty- episodes like the Mai-Lai massacre and other war atrocities. The same with the repression of sexual instincts, ie the pedophilia prevalent in the catholic church.. I'm glad I stumbled on your channel- really interesting stuff!
Serpent Lady Your comment on violence makes me think of my recent definition of courage, being that courage is not a lack of fear. Courage is the ability to be vulnerably intimate with fear and yet go ahead anyways. Courage is not the obliteration of fear, but the ability to stand beside it in peace
I feel I must have been a member of the pack. Around me peaple seem scared althought I try my best to be friendly and outgoing. But they sense my real nature and try to leash me. I run free from civilisation, the oppression is unbearable. I manage to tame my wild nature through martial arts and reconnecting with nature, but I am and always will be, an outcast. Thank you for your powerful words. Respect.
People feel the same about me. My wife tells her friends and everyone we meet that I'm a real nice guy cause they always ask her if I'm mad or dont like them cause of the natural way that I carry myself.
Fred DMI I too understand. Even as a youth, as I walked to the store or elsewhere, driver's stopped at intersections near me always locked their doors. My wife has to smooth over introductions with new people because my mere presence makes people uneasy, especially strangers. Once people feel 'inside' my protection, we get along fine. (And let me guess, girls in their late teens who are ovulating are a regular pain in the ass?)
I've experienced the same thing my whole life. I've never had friends or family besides my mother who is also just like me. I live in a very rural area and though I am very gregarious, people tend to shy away from me. Even when I was in the military and certain areas of law enforcement, people stayed well away. I'm a gentle person unless pushed. I think people pick up on that in my demeanor and body language. People being inherently lazy find it easier to behave badly and to be unkind as it is too much work to be friendly and well mannered. Knowing that, they tend to avoid people they know that will call them on their shit. It may be a lone wolf type of life, but it is peaceful and pretty much drama free.
Thank you for this enlightenment. Ive always dreames and searched for like minded and alike souls that realize the wolf within. So I'm incredibly happy. Thank you this is a blessing!
"the more you push something away the more it wants to be herd" idk why but that quote hit me as i grew up mormom and my sexuality was very supressed so much so i felt guilty even thinking about it. now that i left Mormonism im free to figure myself out without the confines of religion telling me what to do.
There is wisdom in what you say brother. The quickest way for my inter beast to stir is for me to feel threat or anger turned toward me. Some of us do not have a flight mode built into us. There are those, and I am one, that instantly go into fight mode. Learning to control that is hard, but can be done. If cornered and forced to turn loose my inter rage I will fight, but only then as the damage done in those moments take a great time to heal. To restrain is not logical and can not work long term is true. To temper and learn ones limits is better. Control is a razors edge we all stand painfully on from time to time. Never confine your nature, instead learn to control it as best you can. You are very correct that there is a beast inside us each and every one. Even the meekest pup will bight if pushed into it.
Over here we called the boys scouts "Welpen" => '(lion's) cubs' but now it's the common name for young scouts, since boys and girls groups have been merged together.
My brother and I always say it is our Viking blood that we feel making us want to be wild. Guess we should say it is fenvig in us. The wildness wels up in us and we want to be wild and free--even though we are now old.
Exactly the reason I spend a week wilderness camping in the provincial park near my city every summer where there are bears wolves coyotes Wolverines fishers beavers deer and more. The call of the wild is real.
Thanks to this channel again, for bringing to the table the answers of old to feelings some of us have had much of our lives. The feelings are there. The call is there. And I believe our ancestors and the spirits of old reach out to us, stretching hard to touch us and awaken us to these answers of who we are.
excellent and meticulous video! With direct, wise and multidisciplinary content. You could have spoken of astral lycanthropy, berseker, Apollo as lyceus, etc. What is your animist view of the origin of werewolves? congratulations on your UA-cam channel. I would like to help you. Best wishes from Brazil.
Legend came from indigenous people of the arctic (Enuit?) but mistranslated and credited to the Cherokee. The real story is about feeding both wolves inside. Side Note: 1 of 7 clans of the Cherokee is the Wolf Clan. Osiyo Waya! (Greetings Wolf in Cherokee)
I feel the call. I know what you're saying entirely. Thank you for this video... it put words to how I've felt most of my life. My wife sees it; she has recognized my Wolf spirit herself.
One of the things I deeply enjoy about his videos is that he makes so many signs, and gives so many hints in his speech and by the movement of his hands. Every word he says and every movement is calculated and if we really are attentive, there is so much more information that he passes on in a subtle and safe way.
thank you for this one - - -this year has been a huge pendulum swing for me - - - I have been feeling this; the few people around me in my life are more uncomfortable in my presence than usual . . I now have more of an understanding of what is happening - I 'knew' it - but this helps me to 'accept' it.
Iv realized that personally to me.spirits in general are quicker to respond to my animal side than the civilized side.and they tell me that the beast came first before man.so they are more familiar with the beast.
So that's why Týr sacrificed his hand, it was a symbol of losing a part of yourself and no chain could hold fenrir except fish breath, hair and something I forgot. Meaning self-restraint
I've lived in a world of violence all my life. And I tell you, the same thing Isaac Asimov once said: "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." I'm still in a world of violence and violence always finds me, and nothing has been solved with it. There are a thousand ways to solve everything without the use of violence.
@@ArithHärger I didn't argue violence is always good or always right, so don't insinuate that I did. If a guy is molesting your child, killing him will end it, it's final and the problem is solved. You can't argue that. You can hope the courts work, and he may be in jail for a while, and that is a solution, but it may not be final in the long run. You may go to jail too, but again, it's a final solution.

Hahahaha - nice lil bday present this was >.< All the wolves are gonna come out to comment on this one. I grew up in the forest (town of 400 people, and 4 kids my age) My dog Sheba, was mostly my best friend, baby sitter and teacher... Plus, my family name is of course Wolfe. I didn't always live in that town - but that place always lived within me. So much so, that at 23 I shunned the 'civilized' world and lived in the woods/ outskirts of other small towns and picked fruit and did farming sometimes, when I needed some sort of money. I had some people, who would come check on me and at times give me food - for cleaning and maintaining the land I was living around and had many of these locations, around different towns... This is my first year of 'going back into civilization' - hence, having the ability to watch these videos. I struggle in how to bridge these two realities.
After 40 + years living and teaching the Tru Northern Folkway it's refreshing to see one that doesnt expouse the - ill-informed- "Viking lifestyle". So many newbies are flocking to Heathenry out of opposition with Christianity, and some half-assed notion that to be Tru you have to be an insane asshole that worships war, everyone's a warrior ( even those that havent even seen a school yard fistfight and is Valhol bound. Thank you so much for presenting a way to LIVE as a Heathen, rather than awaiting Ragnarockr and it's dubious "gloury". P.S. - in accordance with the topic of the video, the amount of sympathy for Fenrir ( that I believe is influencing the whole Ulfhednar "fad") is completely baffling...especially when it comes from self-proclaimed Odinists!
Thank you for this video Arith, the ancestors have been bringing up the wolf pack shamanic warrior tribes for the last few years. Information would come little at a time, but today after a journey I did all this information started coming through including your video that tied it all in together. I’m truly greatful for the information 🙏🏻❤️
@@ArithHärger Arith, excellent video. Many questions, comments... As an animist, do you understand the formation of the universe or the spiritual ecosystem that we are part of forming or formed in what way? If we are connected, if we are not even above or below spiritually speaking compared to the spirits around us and we relate as symbiosis, why do we or they have no access to more energies, abilities manipulating reality or even us? What do you think about the ethereal double, dimensions, akashic registers, portals, sigils, enn's, spells, evocations, invocations, talismans etc to exchange at least energies with spirituality? There is much more between heaven and earth and between our dense vibration and spiritual evolution! Please, as you are animist, your opinion and answer will be very important to me, I believe! I will await your feedback on all this. Cordially, Leonardo do Brasil, soure, Marajó Island Pará
Since I was a young adult, I have made long solo trips into the wilds in Canada. On one trip, I went in November for a month and built a bark shelter to live in. On another trip, I took no food and foraged. I learned to make rope from grass, to weave and to carve and make stone tools. I need these trips to touch my inner beast. I like to be that close to having to survive and fend for myself. I recommend this.
What I got from this video is that I believe everyone has a little bit of that raw primal beast within them. Some can control it better than others and some were born unable to control it, especially in their younger years. But like a werewolf, they can't control when they can or can not transform and they become blood lusted, only controlled by pure emotion and instincts. Then they revert back to human form only to be filled with regret, guilt and sadness. The way I view it is, accepting this side of you and learning to control it and find balance. If this side of you comes out more often, find something that can control it and express that part of you.
I don't push my wildness out and away, instead I honor and lovingly embrace this part of myself. This is not a separate being but the defender and bridge to the spirit world (underworld). Brown eyes become glittering yellow gold. Thank you
Thank you. My beast is beyond scary. He almost came out 9/9/19. The whole city turned around in silence. I will never forget people’s faces. Thank you for shedding light on how hard it is to be cordial and kind. On that note someone once told me. Don’t you love when you can look at someone and see their true self (he was referring to ware wolves too) and the becoming lighter after the ecstasy is amazing. I love it. Also, to take all this and add all the spiritual together oh what new ecstasy’s of freedom I am achieving. I love this CULTURE. Amongst many others I proudly belong to. Let us all lead. Together.
On this day I call upon the beast
May your name and deeds never be forgotten, again
Never to be condemned
Never to be bound
And the power which you bear may never be sealed by prejudice
and let no man use the blindness of the mind as an excuse
The beast lives in me and I struggle to find balance for it feels so good to let the beast out fully and i feel hole but violent and drove by instinct and cravings but when it's suppressed I feel hollow and empty and with out much of my power i need to find somewhere in the middle I also feel like my mind is blinded when the wolf in me is suppressed I need control or just to let the wolf run free and wild
Hey, speaking of communication, I hope this doesn't sound rude, but I was wondering if you accept friend request and/or check your messages?
I think you would admire making a video with me got several things you would be interested in meaning of things that actually do get out meaning ancient things that do come in Channel through I think you would admire them and I think they would like you be cautious because you can read people's thoughts at times
Arith Härger first question1 do you believe in werewolves and second question 2 are you teaching us how to become werewolves
Arith Härger really answer my question I mean it
There is a difference between peaceful and harmless. Most people don't understand this. Great episode.

I guess there is logic in the saying
"Never lock a wild animal in a cage. You'll only make it more dangerous..."
@BLUE DOG lmao 😂
Yes, putting a part of you in a cage, is quite self-destructive.
Yes and that goes for lions and tigers and bears, oh my (lol)Wizard of Oz
Witness the beauty of supermax prisons.

Sounds like me.
Bro I know your suffering, i just vent my rage in cideo games, all types of video games depending on my mood and level of frustration/ rage
I still feel like a wolf all the time
Excellent video dear friend!!
It's so funny people are so quick to comment without fully watching the video. Another great video I must say sir. Thank you very much. Appreciate you
Seeing a new video on your channel never fails to make my day. Thanks for all the effort you put into this, it means a lot!
Another wonderful and informative video! Arith,thank you for all you share with us!
Once again, spoken with true wisdom. No light without dark, no peace without war. Humanity must maintain a constant balance of our primal and civilized selfs. I feel this is the reason we like to have pets, it's the connection to the primal we yearn for.
You are the best UA-camr in my opinion

Time to un-chain the monster in Sweden.
Haha all over Europe too
The whole world
what makes you think it's only sweedan
I broke one of ‘‘em had em quite literally tortured ⚔️🐉⚔️ werewolves are bad

There is something primal and profoundly... human, when an individual connects to and outwardly expresses the wolf. The two of us have a long and deeply spiritual relationship woven through time. I highly recommend everyone to, at least once a year, find some solitude and snarl, howl, growl, flex your fingers and curl them into offensive claws. Run. Just let that animal side of you STRETCH for a moment! Then meditate, breathe, connect to the environment and realize yourself back to the 'docile' human we are most of the time. It is such a healthy engagement with release.
It's probably going to feel really stupid and weird at first but just immerse yourself and your mind will switch. It is part of the human experience we should not ignore it ❤
The native story of the two wolves that live inside us. One good , one evil and the one that thrives is the one we feed.
I truly love and appreciate that old adage! Thank you Thunder.
Should google it the longer story is better.
Wow! This is probably the deepest video I have ever heard. It relates to me because all that you said is why I go hunting every year. I take one week by myself and go to the woods for a hunt.

Interesting, notice the face inside the doorway on back of the wall towards the top. Is that fudged in or natural?
Lynn H I thought I was the only one who saw that!
its stones
I see faces in a lot of things. Theres a word for it, but im unsure what it is right now.
It is Pareidolia
It looks kinda like that face on mars

What would Odin intended with this attitude? And later, the rage itself in a figure of Fenrir killed Odin... I think the uncontrolled rage destroys us, of course, but I would like to hear your point of view. Thank you very much!
Modi.. thors son.. is the one connected to the rage.. hes the god of battle rage after all..
@@smellyskank219 oh thank you 😊
Very interesting point of view! And one much more logical than Odinn and Laufeys Son being diametric oppositions. The chaining of Fenris as allegory for an age of "enlightenment", or Odinn recognising he must utilise a cooler head in order to prevent the Twilight is fascinating.
AMAZING VIDEO , THANK YOU
Much wisdom in this talk Arith.
I would very much enjoy hearing your thoughts on the interactions and relationship between the Fenrir wolf and Tyr, Mr. Härger. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, knowledge, and expertise.
YES - that would be interesting !
(1st)
Love your vidoes man, much in detail and interesting as always, so haply you went into detail with reflecting the human nature and that of nature together as one 💖
Wow nailed it..that sounds like my up-bringing thanks for da heads up..
Jung's "Wildman" archetype. I use to fear it till I finally had to confront it to stop my night terrors.
Thank you for sharing and contributing information on this topic. This video popped up when i needed it haha. Been having dreams about werewolves amongst other things in my life, this video brought some clarification thanks :)
I can't believe this was all done in one take.. extremely well done!
Okay, I left my home for several times in almost 2yrs and went camping in the wild for 6 to 7 days each time. My reason for this is that I am feeling prisoned in my appartment and I need space and the relaxed energy of the forest and/or the ocean. Even staying on the streets of Germany for 5 days gave me such a boost, Talking to people over there, even police officers, to share our thoughts of the world... Sometimes I just need to go, it feels like a certain energy is with me than and that it truly feels like a call... Even overthinking this call by going to sleep first before you go is already changing the vibe and the positive outcomes I felt...
Thank you very much again for your help!!
well done, Arith H., quality content.!
Thank you for the words of wisdom, I appreciate it. Your den is also awesome.
I have come to expect insight and useful analyses from your videos, and lately, each one seems to surpass the previous ones; today's video is no exception to this pattern. Thank you for such a powerful, life-affirming message.
So many things
First, I refuse to place trust in those who deny in words, action, or attitude, the existence of their shadow. The most terrible things in the history of mankind have been done by those who believe that they act only for the for the 'greater good'. One of my greatest struggles is to accept & control my shadow.
Second viewing the universe as duality of things, it is important to notice that the only aesir to not withdraw from Fenrir in fear was the god of honor & order Tyr. Perhaps he understood the duality of their nature's?
Great video thank you for putting this information into gnostosphere.
This is a new concept to me admittedly I don't understand how it works could you recommend any authors on the subject
Good stuff my friend, well spoken! I understand your message intellectually but also feel it too. I would say that we have gone too far, you said violence is a bad thing, I feel we have forgotten that the real problem with violence is(to quote the Dali Lama) its unpredictable consequences. Controlled violence with good intentions can be very positive, think of hammering a nail into wood in order to build something. Whereas a simple smile can cause great pain and destruction when the intention is malicious.
A very credible explanation of the more proficient warrior class of aggressive tribal people, like the Norse and Celts. (No insult intended as I have both in my ancestry). You adeptly filled in historical 'gaps', like how this separate class of ferocious fighters would most certainly have to be kept isolated from the rest of their tribe. I feel sad for these wolf/bear warriors. Their humanity was stripped , albeit for the salvation of the rest of their people, but then they were shut away like dangerous war dogs, unable to ever enjoy the life they had killed for. They remind me of how the great Irish Wolfhound nearly went extinct, and why. They had been used as consummate large game and wolf killers; and also as battle dogs as they were huge enough to pull a man down off a horse. When people became 'civilized', and the need for these huge hounds to hunt and kill large targets ended, they were allowed to simply die out. Excellent documentary Arith, I really did enjoy it. Thank you.
Most inspiring video yet, my friend. Kudos. Live wild! Live free! HAIL THE BEAST!
thank you ..this is a truth we do not always want to face
As one who was a full time traveler for the last four plus years. I can not even tell begin to tell the most authentic and primal feel that I had felt around a bonfire one night; as we had all gathered in the desert in the southwest of the United States. The drum circle and the beat definitely brings out our most primal self. It was something that I had never experienced, but yet I must have, way back in time. The beat of those drums just had brought out another side of me. I just wished that even though I was in a group of people, I was alone. It would have been an amazing moment if I could have shared it with someone on a mental and even physical plane, but I was alone.
Currently I am in my new small town and will be purchasing off grid land soon. I do realize that the bears in the area tend to sleep in the winter months, but the wolves do not. I have dealt with coyotes before, but wolves are another beast altogether. I don’t even wish to run into one or be surrounded by a pack as I go about my daily chores. Those things definitely, put the fear in me like nothing else will.
Me: listens to blue oyster cult songs.
UA-cam: wanna learn about werewolf cults?
Haha in all seriousness though, cool vid, very informative :)
Arith Hargar can you reccomend books on the Werewolf Cult?
Wildness does not equal violence- that is more a human providence but when the wildness in humans is suppressed and not accessed in a healthy way it can re-surface in acts of violent cruelty- episodes like the Mai-Lai massacre and other war atrocities. The same with the repression of sexual instincts, ie the pedophilia prevalent in the catholic church.. I'm glad I stumbled on your channel- really interesting stuff!
Serpent Lady Your comment on violence makes me think of my recent definition of courage, being that courage is not a lack of fear. Courage is the ability to be vulnerably intimate with fear and yet go ahead anyways. Courage is not the obliteration of fear, but the ability to stand beside it in peace
Well put. I often venerate Fenrir, and I've felt many of the concepts you put so eloquently into words. Thank you.
I feel I must have been a member of the pack. Around me peaple seem scared althought I try my best to be friendly and outgoing. But they sense my real nature and try to leash me. I run free from civilisation, the oppression is unbearable. I manage to tame my wild nature through martial arts and reconnecting with nature, but I am and always will be, an outcast.
Thank you for your powerful words. Respect.
Ur delusional..stfu
People feel the same about me. My wife tells her friends and everyone we meet that I'm a real nice guy cause they always ask her if I'm mad or dont like them cause of the natural way that I carry myself.
Fred DMI I too understand. Even as a youth, as I walked to the store or elsewhere, driver's stopped at intersections near me always locked their doors. My wife has to smooth over introductions with new people because my mere presence makes people uneasy, especially strangers. Once people feel 'inside' my protection, we get along fine.
(And let me guess, girls in their late teens who are ovulating are a regular pain in the ass?)
@@ramtrucks721 you're a jack-ass.
I've experienced the same thing my whole life. I've never had friends or family besides my mother who is also just like me. I live in a very rural area and though I am very gregarious, people tend to shy away from me. Even when I was in the military and certain areas of law enforcement, people stayed well away. I'm a gentle person unless pushed. I think people pick up on that in my demeanor and body language. People being inherently lazy find it easier to behave badly and to be unkind as it is too much work to be friendly and well mannered. Knowing that, they tend to avoid people they know that will call them on their shit. It may be a lone wolf type of life, but it is peaceful and pretty much drama free.
As always, very well articulated and enjoyable
Very interesting as always, thank you ! :)
Thank you for this enlightenment. Ive always dreames and searched for like minded and alike souls that realize the wolf within. So I'm incredibly happy. Thank you this is a blessing!
"the more you push something away the more it wants to be herd" idk why but that quote hit me as i grew up mormom and my sexuality was very supressed so much so i felt guilty even thinking about it. now that i left Mormonism im free to figure myself out without the confines of religion telling me what to do.
There is wisdom in what you say brother. The quickest way for my inter beast to stir is for me to feel threat or anger turned toward me. Some of us do not have a flight mode built into us. There are those, and I am one, that instantly go into fight mode. Learning to control that is hard, but can be done. If cornered and forced to turn loose my inter rage I will fight, but only then as the damage done in those moments take a great time to heal. To restrain is not logical and can not work long term is true. To temper and learn ones limits is better. Control is a razors edge we all stand painfully on from time to time. Never confine your nature, instead learn to control it as best you can. You are very correct that there is a beast inside us each and every one. Even the meekest pup will bight if pushed into it.
It is interesting that the werewolf myth exists in many cultures of the world.
Truly powerful message.
As boyscouts we were actually called what translates to „wolf cub“ in germany
Over here we called the boys scouts "Welpen" => '(lion's) cubs' but now it's the common name for young scouts, since boys and girls groups have been merged together.
I worry that if I give in to an urge to fight others, I'll never be satisfied until I die.
My brother and I always say it is our Viking blood that we feel making us want to be wild. Guess we should say it is fenvig in us. The wildness wels up in us and we want to be wild and free--even though we are now old.
True! Same for me. Live wild and free💜
Greetings from Sweden💙💛
Greetings to you! Danes and Swedes can b friends. Both are Vikings. @@eva-lottholmberg4718
Exactly the reason I spend a week wilderness camping in the provincial park near my city every summer where there are bears wolves coyotes Wolverines fishers beavers deer and more. The call of the wild is real.
@BLUE DOG you couldnt be more wrong.
Yeah if you're Grizzly Adams
This was beautiful
Thanks to this channel again, for bringing to the table the answers of old to feelings some of us have had much of our lives. The feelings are there. The call is there. And I believe our ancestors and the spirits of old reach out to us, stretching hard to touch us and awaken us to these answers of who we are.
Thank you for this sharing! It brings a new explanation to many questions raised!??
Walk well in your path!!
GREY WOLF WALKING!!
Out!
excellent and meticulous video! With direct, wise and multidisciplinary content. You could have spoken of astral lycanthropy, berseker, Apollo as lyceus, etc. What is your animist view of the origin of werewolves? congratulations on your UA-cam channel. I would like to help you. Best wishes from Brazil.
What An amazing speech. Love your channel
My beast is screaming at me to run wild , but I am afraid that it will take control over me and going wild is a great feeling .
This really reminds me of the native Americans’ legend about the black and white wolf within us. The balance between the two is the key
Which Native group?
Legend came from indigenous people of the arctic (Enuit?) but mistranslated and credited to the Cherokee. The real story is about feeding both wolves inside. Side Note: 1 of 7 clans of the Cherokee is the Wolf Clan. Osiyo Waya! (Greetings Wolf in Cherokee)
Druid, It is always good to specify the “native” (a colonial term) people. Thank you.
I have heard that story so many times it has come to special significance to me
I feel the call. I know what you're saying entirely. Thank you for this video... it put words to how I've felt most of my life. My wife sees it; she has recognized my Wolf spirit herself.
Mr. Thorstein needs to make a cameo appearance on a Jackson Crawford video about modern misinterpretations of ancient Germanic religion 😆
I did notice when you spoke about violence your left hand was curled into a fist :)
One of the things I deeply enjoy about his videos is that he makes so many signs, and gives so many hints in his speech and by the movement of his hands. Every word he says and every movement is calculated and if we really are attentive, there is so much more information that he passes on in a subtle and safe way.
what a lovely sentament! great video.
thank you for this one - - -this year has been a huge pendulum swing for me - - - I have been feeling this; the few people around me in my life are more uncomfortable in my presence than usual . . I now have more of an understanding of what is happening - I 'knew' it - but this helps me to 'accept' it.
I expected the most beastly host I could imagine in this video, but I guess Mr. Thorstein was busy elsewhere.
Iv realized that personally to me.spirits in general are quicker to respond to my animal side than the civilized side.and they tell me that the beast came first before man.so they are more familiar with the beast.
I love this video! I enjoyed it very much!
So that's why Týr sacrificed his hand, it was a symbol of losing a part of yourself and no chain could hold fenrir except fish breath, hair and something I forgot. Meaning self-restraint
Just curious why Algiz is on the wolfs face?
love the videos!
"Violence solves nothing!" - Arith
Violence is the ultimate and final solution whether you like it or not.
I've lived in a world of violence all my life. And I tell you, the same thing Isaac Asimov once said: "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." I'm still in a world of violence and violence always finds me, and nothing has been solved with it. There are a thousand ways to solve everything without the use of violence.
@@ArithHärger I didn't argue violence is always good or always right, so don't insinuate that I did.
If a guy is molesting your child, killing him will end it, it's final and the problem is solved. You can't argue that.
You can hope the courts work, and he may be in jail for a while, and that is a solution, but it may not be final in the long run.
You may go to jail too, but again, it's a final solution.
@@ArithHärger excellent and meticulous video! With direct, wise and multidisciplinary content. You could have spoken of astral lycanthropy, berseker, Apollo as lyceus, etc. What is your animist view of the origin of werewolves? congratulations on your UA-cam channel. I would like to help you. Best wishes from Brazil.
Hahahaha - nice lil bday present this was >.<
All the wolves are gonna come out to comment on this one.
I grew up in the forest (town of 400 people, and 4 kids my age) My dog Sheba, was mostly my best friend, baby sitter and teacher... Plus, my family name is of course Wolfe.
I didn't always live in that town - but that place always lived within me. So much so, that at 23 I shunned the 'civilized' world and lived in the woods/ outskirts of other small towns and picked fruit and did farming sometimes, when I needed some sort of money. I had some people, who would come check on me and at times give me food - for cleaning and maintaining the land I was living around and had many of these locations, around different towns...
This is my first year of 'going back into civilization' - hence, having the ability to watch these videos.
I struggle in how to bridge these two realities.
After 40 + years living and teaching the Tru Northern Folkway it's refreshing to see one that doesnt expouse the - ill-informed- "Viking lifestyle". So many newbies are flocking to Heathenry out of opposition with Christianity, and some half-assed notion that to be Tru you have to be an insane asshole that worships war, everyone's a warrior ( even those that havent even seen a school yard fistfight and is Valhol bound. Thank you so much for presenting a way to LIVE as a Heathen, rather than awaiting Ragnarockr and it's dubious "gloury".
P.S. - in accordance with the topic of the video, the amount of sympathy for Fenrir ( that I believe is influencing the whole Ulfhednar "fad") is completely baffling...especially when it comes from self-proclaimed Odinists!
Thank you for this video Arith, the ancestors have been bringing up the wolf pack shamanic warrior tribes for the last few years. Information would come little at a time, but today after a journey I did all this information started coming through including your video that tied it all in together. I’m truly greatful for the information 🙏🏻❤️
This was beautiful, affirming and very sad.
Wonderful video
Thank you very much ^^
@@ArithHärger Arith, excellent video. Many questions, comments... As an animist, do you understand the formation of the universe or the spiritual ecosystem that we are part of forming or formed in what way? If we are connected, if we are not even above or below spiritually speaking compared to the spirits around us and we relate as symbiosis, why do we or they have no access to more energies, abilities manipulating reality or even us? What do you think about the ethereal double, dimensions, akashic registers, portals, sigils, enn's, spells, evocations, invocations, talismans etc to exchange at least energies with spirituality? There is much more between heaven and earth and between our dense vibration and spiritual evolution! Please, as you are animist, your opinion and answer will be very important to me, I believe! I will await your feedback on all this. Cordially, Leonardo do Brasil, soure, Marajó Island Pará
-interesting the way they put wedges under the top block of the doorway. Where is this? How old?
You are a treasure, thank you for your work and wisdom.
Exelent video.
Since I was a young adult, I have made long solo trips into the wilds in Canada. On one trip, I went in November for a month and built a bark shelter to live in. On another trip, I took no food and foraged. I learned to make rope from grass, to weave and to carve and make stone tools. I need these trips to touch my inner beast. I like to be that close to having to survive and fend for myself. I recommend this.
What I got from this video is that I believe everyone has a little bit of that raw primal beast within them. Some can control it better than others and some were born unable to control it, especially in their younger years. But like a werewolf, they can't control when they can or can not transform and they become blood lusted, only controlled by pure emotion and instincts. Then they revert back to human form only to be filled with regret, guilt and sadness. The way I view it is, accepting this side of you and learning to control it and find balance. If this side of you comes out more often, find something that can control it and express that part of you.
I don't push my wildness out and away, instead I honor and lovingly embrace this part of myself. This is not a separate being but the defender and bridge to the spirit world (underworld). Brown eyes become glittering yellow gold. Thank you
Love your stuff kick on love it
Thank you. My beast is beyond scary. He almost came out 9/9/19. The whole city turned around in silence. I will never forget people’s faces. Thank you for shedding light on how hard it is to be cordial and kind. On that note someone once told me. Don’t you love when you can look at someone and see their true self (he was referring to ware wolves too) and the becoming lighter after the ecstasy is amazing. I love it. Also, to take all this and add all the spiritual together oh what new ecstasy’s of freedom I am achieving. I love this CULTURE. Amongst many others I proudly belong to. Let us all lead. Together.
Beautiful presentation
Super cool
