If I’m not mistaken Tacitus’ Germania which is the earliest source for Germanic culture, although from a distant and flawed perspective, mentions that in Germania there were women who carve strange symbols or letters on pieces of wood and use them in some practice for predicting the outcome of the men’s battles.

Yep that is correct, on one account Ariovistist (ik I spelled wrong) a Germanic leader put together over 120,000 warriors but the seers told him to not fight the Romans during the changing of the moon. Ignoring the seers he went to battle anyway and almost the entire Cimbre tribe was killed that day

If some Norseman wrote a sentence or statement in runes hundreds of years ago and that message can now be translated, interpretated and understood all these years later then i can see magic in that.

Thanks for this video, a great reminder of how runes were used for magical intent backed up by sources in the sagas. Would love to see Grimfrost podcast play this video, they recently had an academic on there that was one sided and purely academic arguing there was only one use for runes. Very short sighted! Videos like this and research are the antidote to ignorance and denial.

I'm thankful for this video. As I am with all of yours. I usually am in the camp of "Runes were a phonetic alphabet" in fact you did a video some time ago about that. And I think you've done a good job here explaining how both the hard nose its just an alphabet people and the ones who read too many Wicca books are wrong. To me it's still that runes themselves aren't the magic per say but what is written and then spoken(galdr) or plainly written with intent of the author of the inscription. The one rune that seems to run exception is Tiwaz which is the only rune that has a name of a deity. So whereas it's what is written that makes the magic in this particular case and only it would seem is the rune having the magic itself by invocating a deity. As always I got some wisdom from your videos as usual. Cheers 🍻

Nice video. I am interested in discussing Near Death Experiences and how they relate to Norse beliefs and Myth. Are there any written accounts of the afterlife from an NDE or some other way through a Norse lens? Why do you think so many modern NDEs feature Christian aspects and Jesus? There are SOME account of pagan-like modern NDEs but not nearly as many as the Abrahamic religions. Does the high amount of Jesus encounters, or angel and heaven encounters in Near Death Experiences affirm that religion or that spirituality? Or is it solely due to collective unconscious bias of our modern era? I would love to know your opinion and would love a video touching on this subject even more

I see a video on European pagan religions including Celtic a few videos down. Across the web be careful as what he's referring to here exists in sources on Druidry, the making up of things in modern times. In researching that check the sources for reliability, fact rather than wishful opinion or assumptions.

I have it, have read it (and did most of her suggested 'rituals' - in fact, I still have the cards. The car-blessing ritual I've also used on a regular basis - with the runes carved into a wooden die as key-ring as well). I.m.o, it's an ok start point; both for learning the runes and getting ideas on how to use them. Is it ideal? No. There is no referal back to the sources as to why she's done this or that ritual. But with an open mind, reading the sources, her book could be a place to start for many. I'm not an official scholar, but I am Norwegian and the family has many connections to finds & museums in Norway.

Good video but you just got to stop starting these videos claiming you go through -every source- when theres always more, but they are old books here in scandinavia that people have not even heard of, often just randomly in a book about something else.

He did say there was way too much evidence to cover. He's only going to cite sources people can access bc he's saying here evidence for multiple uses of runes exists, & giving examples of things we can check, to prove his point. This one is about those who deny that, where & what they can check. & In general many viewers don't have access to the sources you refer to & we're online, many would just argue if they can't access it. It is always up to us to look even farther than any source & he tells us that, & that he doesn't know everything, or tell us everything, & that no one person does know everything or is always right or has the total of knowledge. "If you're familiar with my channel..." Watch just a few, we hear that message. He believes in researching, for ourselves, in multiple sources. And in knowing there's more info than we first see.

Seems like a lot of this thought and philosophy has been preserved in Pennsylvania Dutch culture in their powwow practices. Tickets and charms are used the same way the sources describe the use of runes. Very Christian, and written in modern alphabet, but the same concept. It's still part of living culture there. PA Dutch preserved a lot of folk practices from early 18th century Germany. Called the Holy Roman Empire back then.

To Norse magic and belief: I do not like you, Norse Magic and belief, because you cannot answer a flipping question on trolls. Also you do not know a thing about trolls. Troll: means variety of meanings combined listed. - [ ] dreadful to behold over the realm of the jotun” - [ ] “the insatiable greediness of jotuns” - [ ] “the menacing happening believed to be a sign or warning of some future event of seeing sunshine during a hail storm” , [ ] “A familiar of a witch or warlock, “Something that brings death and makes sure you stay dead, - [ ] “A situation with nighttime, - [ ] A situation with sleep paralysis,” - [ ] ,”a situation with wind and rain,”. Troll is all of these characteristics combined. If this is not the answer than what is?

I agree that runes were used for magic but to say "all it takes is 30 seconds of research" seems a bit of an exaggeration. Dr Jackson Crawford for example believes there is only evidence that runes were an alphabet and nothing before and I think its safe to say he's done a lot of research.
@WildWoodsGirl65

30 seconds of research brings up multiple search results & even just the article snippets show that runes were used for writing and magic. He's not saying that equals gaining full info. He's only saying even that short a search will show both exist. He's calling people who claim either narrow minded stance too lazy to even ~begin~ to look. When researching we can't enter an individual's name. That's as narrow minded. We'll get only their opinion or knowledge. I know people love Dr. Crawford but he is a scholar with only one viewpoint on this, more literary, & searching for a specific source will not give unbiased results or the full range of knowledge at all. We have to research with unbiased keywords on topic, for unbiased results from a variety of sources. We can't "ask leading questions." It took way longer to type this than "runes various Norse uses" or "how Norse people used younger futhark." & If someone has been reading a particular source, to scroll further than those top results bc of Google algorithms to the variety of sources below what they pushed to the top.
