Excellent video. As someone who has recently developed an amateur interest in the field of Old Norse, I have to say that you have really given me a lot to reflect on! It is also a shame that in the current political climate, many public discussions concerning ancient Norse cultural and religious rites are unfairly branded as being racist at their core. Thanks for vindicating those of us who wish to study this fascinating culture for its rich historical substance.

Your finger is on the pulse! This is a key to understanding the message of the ancient lore. The Edda (Aet Dach) is written in a code that with proper telling carries the understanding of the functions of the Natural World, not the fairytale pablum of story tellers like Niel Gaiman where important parts are left out or unemphasized. Sturlison gives us clues on how to better understand what is written in 'Skaldesmal' included in Everymans Books version of his Edda compilation, but keep in mind that this was written 1200 years after the last authentic Drumennaton, and Christianized to please the King of Norway, but he had Snorri assassinated anyway.

@@differous01 Our Germanic roots even preceeded the Scythians, but we all came from the tribes that avoided the great flood by going east to the higher and distant area of the Altai mountains in the area where Mongolia, China, Kazakhsan and Russia meet present-day and returned to the west about 5000 years ago. This is not to say that there were not other genetic types that survived and eventually flourished, but our paternal R1a and R1b is the stem of alot of Current Europes' population, Central Asia as well. Here is where you have to be aware of the timeline of migration to distinguish one people from another admixture along the way. The current genetic tableau suggests that the R1a and b originally came from Central Europe, and is the predecessor to the strain found in the oldest Tarim Basin Mummies. And from there got admixed to other DNA paternals to result in the Aryans and others of the people's of the Steppe. To put this in a knowledge perspective, people have been very observant of the nature of the world and our relationship of it way long before the flood,and were observant enough for some to migrate to avoid it. They met other cultures along the way, and traded knowledge with them, but did not readily interbreed, only for fealty for combined protection and such, so these Altai folks picked up alot from the Asiatics, Indus Valley people, Persians and the like. The R1 people decided to return to Europe as they sensed climate change, and became Nomads and headed west. This is important to note, because Nomads did not have facility to take written record with them, and so developed an oral tradition to maintain knowledge and history. Sedentary peoples wrote of their encounters with them, but they developed a kind of folk poetry that preserved and taught tribal knowledge. This was a method common to all of the Steppe Nomad. This is why they compared the observed qualities of animals and the world of things around them to illustrate the actions or intentions of the characters in their folk tales. These tales constituted their belief system as well and the Aet Dach (Edda) which means 'Tribal Roof' or CODE OF LAWS that shelter us from an uncertain world. The characters are humanized representations of the Ragnar, spirit influences of place or action that have a relatable effect on people or the greater world/universe. The qualities of animals or things may be used to describe the actions the particular character is involved in. Example 'the Mead of Poetry' or the nature of the observant and quick mind of the Raven (recognized by tribes worldwide in same sense), the personality of the wolf... etc..

CONTINUED... TO MAKE SHORT, this is how he 'graduated' from the 'Human aspect' to the higher level of the 'Universal aspect'. The ancients beheld the world as as a kieidoscopic tapestry, in which synergies were part themselves of greater synergies, the 'web' to first Americans. The human Odin did have sons, Ragnar Lothbrok being descendant of these. And hence the myth of him taking the journey to the lake, and meeting Aslaage, the daughter of Brunhilde, the Valkyre (daughter of Odin and Frigg), and the resultant curse of the 'serpant' upon Aslaags children. Refer here to the Siegfried myth, where Odin loans him the 'sacred sword' that he calls Gramm to slay the dragon that holds Brunhilde captive. Using these human condition situations, allegory to the greater psychological weave is revealed, and gives you surer footing as you tread your Bifrost. Don't worship Odin (that is the Romanesque fantasy of 'Gods'), recognize him! Onward Pilgrim.

Very interesting and informative. 1. The variations in worship are more than likely because each area had itss own issues. Looking at it from a God perspective, the "voice" and "presence" of Odin or Thor were probably the same but had to act differently to deal with each areas unique issues. Thus the personalization in regions and personal lives. But this is how it is with most dieties. Spiritual relationships are a very personal thing. I would look at all interactions, compile them, and extrapolate a general personality of the diety from the big picture. Much like the bible attempts.

Hi Arith! I think, that guys with sticks and horns/antlers are just shamans. Also the celtic cernunnos. The interpretation with horned gods may came from the romans or? Maybe because they knew satyrs, fauns and pan. Exactly the same guy, like from the vendel helmet plates, where he sits directly behind Odin on Sleipnir. On the carpet it looks like, the horned guy makes a arctolatry ritual with his bear friend. And yes, it´s that dirty, as it sounds. Anywhere there was also the same depiction with the same guy, but only with an ulfhednar. Arith, wich is your favourite version of the high one?

im new to your videos and i'm not sure if you've gone into this before but I've been researching ancient gods and I was wondering what is the farthest back you can go for the original origin of the Norse gods like Frigg/Freya , Odin/Odr/Wodinaz, Do they have an older origin or similarities to much older gods like Sumerian or stories in the emerald tablets or something much older like that. What do you think the original origin of some of these gods are ?
@ArithHärger
Жыл бұрын
Hello and welcome. It’s always hard to track the true origins of the deities. I would say it is impossible because perceptions and beliefs towards the divine have always existed since humanity was capable of formulating such thoughts, so there’s no telling how old these deities truly are. If we are talking about their names, then we know they are fairly recent because they are part of particular development of languages that took place in specific periods of history. If we are talking about the attributes of the gods, well… some are recent, some are older, some are ancient. In terms of Odin, it appears conceptions of this deity developed in more depth in the early Continental Iron Age, although some scholars believe Odin (or the deity that developed into Odin in the North) to be a belief-system originating outside Europe. Odin displays several similar characteristics (some of which equal) to other deities found in Hinduism, Ancient Egyptian religions, pre-Islamic Middle Eastern deities, Sumerian divinities, etc. Some scholars have pointed out that Wodanaz may have been brought into Central Europe by the first century CE by Middle Eastern migrants fleeing from Romans. Wodanaz may have its origins in Indo-Iranian and quite possibly even Sumerian past. Frigg, on the other hand, seems to have been far more prominent in Continental Europe in the Iron Age, being brought into Scandinavia by the Migration Period, where she did not have as strong an expression as Freyja, even though the two goddesses in many aspects were merged together, but Freyja in Scandinavia had a greater expression that Frigg would ever get. Thor, as another example, is the typical early Iron Age god of the Hammer found earlier in other cultural contexts of Iron Age Western Europe. One of the earliest evidences of a Hammer god of fertility is found in Western Iberian Peninsula, what is now Portugal, and the deity is called “Larouco” a Lusitanian and Celto-Gallician deity, which further develops into other deities found in Western Europe in a more Celtic context, such as “Sucellos”. However, Thor matches the characteristics of a Thunder-Person in animism, so, of course, part of Thor’s attributes and character may indeed have a far earlier animistic origin. Deities are not exclusive conceptions of a single place but rather the mixture of several belief systems of different cultures and time periods, which at a certain moment culminate, forming a specific deity with a specific name according to the culture and language of a specific people. The gods have several developments through time. Ideas and conceptions travel more than people. From place to place and time to time people would pass on stories of deities and other entities, and on it went, growing in oral tradition. See Loki, for instance. Loki has a far older indigenous animistic past, being similar to several trickster spirits found in many cultures all over the world. I think people try to hard to find an origin of some deity so they can claim that deity as their own if it is understood to be a deity of a specific ancient culture that appeared in a geographical area. But people were on the move all the time, taking their gods with them and inevitably mixing their gods with other deities of the places and peoples they came in contact with.

The Snorra-Edda was written by a self-proclaimed Christian and so it's incredibly likely that the stories might have been changed by Snorri. Later he was assassinated by the King of Norway at the time and the book was taken to Norway.

Why there was 2 halls, Freya and Odin? Common valiant dead would go to vanir hall and elite to Odin.

There were religious disputes among the elites. Freyja and Freyr were highly venerated, especially in Southern Sweden. The Cult of Odin came to force many changes within the elite, and the popularity of Thor among the common folk likewise. But Freyja and Freyr were still highly important amongst older nobility families of Eastern Scandinavia and later in some families in Iceland. There was dispute. So mainly the nobility would either go to Valhöll or Sessrúmnir, the ship of Freyja / Vanir, reporting to an earlier funerary cult to the Vanir, the "ship in the field" (Sessrúmnir at Folkvangr) as attested by numerous stone ship-shaped graves of earlier periods. The common folk would go to other places such as Thor's Halls and Hel, but it also depended on the manner of their death and profession/social hierarchy.

Hello there. When it comes to Tacitus, we have to be careful with the things he wrote because he was often criticizing Rome by using "examples" of other cultures he knew little about and had no direct contact with. If you allow me, I'll share with you a link to a video I've done in the past concerning this, "Tacitus, Homosexuals & Bog-Sacrifices", if you have the time, please. And I hope it is useful: kzitem.info/news/bejne/p29vtGt9jqV_doo

I grew up near the House on the Rock , german lutheran settler farmers on stolen Ho Chunk land, Turtle Island.and feel affinity for fire bison and the land. Odin and the rest of the old european gods and religions have caused much damage here.

Thank you for saying that. I'm Native (Lakota from South Dakota) and I recently saw someone who is Ojibwe on Twitter recount that she had overhead a woman talking about the beauty of northern Minnesota and calling them the "Norwegian Woods" so she corrected her and said they were actually Ojibwe Woods and the woods would ha e to actually be in Norway to be Norwegian. The original speaker became incensed and said her family had been in Minnesota for 4+5 generations and she could call them what she wanted. 🙄 So the Ojibwe woman said that doesn't give her the right to erase the original people who are still living in Northern Minnesota. The original speaker then started crying and accused the Ojibwe woman of being mean. *** That's how it usually works. Everyone loves Native people (some even support criminal Natives and they do exist) until Native people speak and then it turns into a Eurocentric nightmare. We hear that we're a conquered people and non-Native people know best, etc. Imo it's not Odin. That existed before Christianity. It's Christianity which gives humans dominion over the land to do with it what they will and it doesn't matter because they will be going to heaven eventually. Also harmful ideas such as the Doctrine of Discovery which wrongly gave the Catholic Church title to lands that didn't belong to them. We still have Christian evangelicals attempting to convert us, Pine Ridge in SD had to suspend all Christian missionaries for awhile because they were overstepping the rules on the reservation. Mormons are always lurking around waiting to save Natives because we were punished with dark skin after Noah's flood or some outlandish idea. Now evangelicals along with an oil corporation are trying to overturn the Indian Child Welfare Act which requires that Native kids in foster care be placed with family instead of being adopted out by non-Native people. This is the same kinship law the rest of the country follows with foster kids but the attempts to force assimilationare not over yet. Christianity overtook Europe and eradicated their pagan beliefs and it's going to take a long time to recover that. Christianity will be the death of all culture in the way it tries to destroy anything but it's ideology imo

@@gnostic268 Aho. I am grateful for all of the traditional people who have remembered the original instructions for this land. i am alternately angry at and sorry for fellow white settler farmers, whom i call The Hardened People, who do not realize the brutality we carry in us having been shaped by the horrible matricide genocide and wars of old europe and the devastation we have wrought here. The first place it shows up is in the family, where women children elders and other vulnerable people have no value, from there it spreads. Which is why I am so grateful to Arith for doing this work. #NoLine3 #NoLine5 #WaterIsLife

Chuisse, Lorilea and Gnostic. Y'ta Hei. Though it may be hard to comprehend, there are white skinned people who are of a tribe. I am the son of a pure blood Ru, and, unfortunately, the only one in my immediate family who carries on our tradition and history. We are very much alike in our view of the world,this Earth, and the universe. I want you to know that Odin, who is of our tribe, is not a 'God', nor are the other figures in the Norse tales and myths. They are Manitou, portrayed in a human figure to play parts in our folk tales. To begin with, we became a nomadic tribe after sheltering from the flood in the Altai Mountains, near Gora Belucha, a very sacred place, even today. Our nomadic lifestyle made literature impracticle, so instruction in the skills of life became a verbal art. We, of course, are not the only tribes that went East to avoid extinction, so this word of mouth system is used by alot of the steppe peoples. Ours is the Aet Dach (Tribal roof,or the laws and lore that shelter us from an uncertain world). Our belief system is such that all in this realm of light we experience is of parts working togher to create a larger whole, a synergy, and that all synergies from small to large depend upon each other. In short, we are a product of this Earth (and universe...) and depend on it to exist, and like the very breathing that allows us to live, we are responsible for its wellbeing. The essence of the Web.There is a cancer among all human kind in the concept that if you have might you can take anything you want with no repercussions. This usally leads to a system that vacuums all to a privileged few at the top with no regard for whos sweat and the amount of resources it takes to slake their endless thirst. This is Empire, that will contaminate any remedy employed if it is allowed to. When Christianity became too powerful a movement for Rome to control, they slyly infiltrated it and made it the offical faith, by sham, and rewrote it to suit the Emperor Constantine. Important parts were left out, and translations used words that favored the political heirarchy. All other systems of belief were discounted and outright villafied. The Romans slaughtered our shamen and took away our language, our possesions, our children, and our freedom to move about in the world. Sound familiar?? I, for one, stand with Tenskatowa and ghost dance for my forebears to give me the strength... But it did not start or end with Rome, it was carried on by the Bergundians, and their offshoots, every major European government, monarchy or not, ever since. We Ru have been hunted and at the least, had our humanity discounted by them all, while they have been continuously warring with each other for more power. Our beautiful blue marble should be ken taw kee for us all. Tribes around the world believe in this and stand with you. Wisdom and light for a better tomorrow.

Frey and Freya were vaner. If I remember well it is mentioned in the edda that the vaner are older than the aser, although the superiority might have shifted. The winner writes history, but history is about time not power. Vaner were first 🙏

To think of the Norse pantheon as gods in the Mediterrainian context is an error. They are synergies of psycologcal and circumstantial actions on the next level of relationships, like the Manitou (place spirits and such that represent the nature of a greater whole) givin a human nature to more easily convey their relationship to the human condition in myth and folk knowledge. The Vanir were recognized first (making them 'older' because they deal more with the active condition of humans) and the Aesir, the more noble or sublime, were recognized later as having a higher realm of influece that extended to effecting the greater planet and beyond. Consider this. It is echoed in all preflood tribal traditions and is important to truer understanding of the Norse system. Ponder the meaning of 'the mead of poetry'.
