Thanks! @tedxtralee2125 I really hope to return to Ireland for the sake of just visiting your land. You really have a leg ahead in recovery of traditional culture 🙂
I was born and raised in Alaska, and I’m born of Norwegian diaspora. Rune has been a guiding voice for almost 5 years now, his wisdom and perspective on our ancestors knowledge has changed my spirituality and the way I see the world! Congrats Rune! Subscribe to the Nordic Animism channel!
@Willowbarking Great to hear! - this is one of the questions that it is important to understand and talk about. The importance of taking traditional knowledge out from the nostalgic space of a rural past and bring it into the spaces where we actually live! - that is often cities.
What a feat to distill your corpus of work into a 15 minute lecture. Thank you, Rune, as always, for sharing this invaluable information and helping so many people connect with traditional European spiritual practices and animacy.
This is one of the things I love about TED Talks: the chance to hear about lives so very different from my own. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Rune we love your storey in this Celtic country. Connection with the land, sea and sky is so important. We need to reconnect to the earth to ensure we keep it alive and let us live on it! an important message everyone needs to hear.
@BryanCarrKerry Totally! having visited Ireland I really feel that the Irish have a leg ahead in this field. I think it may have to do with history. Recent experience of cultural and political oppression means that in some ways the Irish experience have similarities with the experience of indigenous groups. That makes this kind of thinking more evident than in many North European countries. - When I listen to guys like Manchan Magan, Blind Boy and others, they seem to be totally at the forefront in this growing perspective.
Rune, absolutely captivated by your TEDx talk! 🌍 It’s incredible to see how you’re weaving together anthropology, European heritage, and indigenous wisdom to reawaken our kinship with nature. And I have to say, the singing was an unexpected and powerful touch! 👏
Great talk! I think there’s a gulf between traditional knowledge and modern Western consumerism that will be tough to cross, but taking these ideas seriously and leaning into seeing them in action in our everyday lives feels like the way to close that gap! Thank you for presenting these ideas!
Thank you, Rune! These are the things we need to be talking about more today - keeping life alive on Earth and our human as well as other than human community thriving!
exactly - and there are enormous communities of normal people, who spend their entire lives without knowledge that they have a traditional knowledge reservoir that is exactly as powerful, beautiful and deep as what you find in indigenous groups
Thank you so much for this talk! It was wonderful to listen to. I think the world would be a better place if animism and land stewardship was at the forefront of everyone’s minds. 🙏
If traditional knowledge is knowledge of being in reciprocal relationships with land, then it makes sense that anyone can acquire and contribute to building this knowledge.
Well done, Rune! At 11:50 you mention that in your family, you used to sing a song at harvest time thanking for the rye. As I am sure you know, here in Denmark it is custom - an almost mandatory custom - to say “Tak for mad” (Thank you for the food) after enjoying a meal at someone house. In American ears, this sounds corny, but it was something we had to say in my house growing up as a kid. I always thought of it as thanking my parents. Now it strikes me that perhaps it has roots in pagan times?
Most excellent. Thank you Rune for helping us to see the world before us wanting to connect even now, and for pointing the way towards learning how to be in reciprocal relation. Thank you for bringing this wisdom into the collective awareness at a time when we need it the most. ❤
A brilliant talk Rune! Your style of public speaking shows your passion for this amazing area. You have helped elevate nordic animism to amazing heights! This was a beautiful talk! Thank you
Powerfully reminds me what we seem to know intuitively as children when we can get outside to play in fields or the woods: every living thing is just that: alive and pulsing with energy. Thank you for remind us of the stories we all have access to.
Thank you Rune. Why are we not doing (acting out) anything to stop the climate problems? It is an overwhelmingly large problem, and it scares the heart out of the chest of all. Thank you, Rune, for giving us a road map long forgotten, our ancestral road map to connect to the land, sea, trees and all living things. The first step could be expressing gratitude to the food we get. And the next could be calming our nerves so we find courage to connect with others, like Rune, to share methods of connecting to the land and becoming guided back to lesser harmful ways of living. Doing something that fosters connectedness with the land is (acting out) hope. Thank you for your work Rune.🥰🥰🥰
Wow! So many interesting yet culturally inherit insights into a truly viable sustainable ways to relate to nature, and culture.. Great intro to something that deserves so much more serious attention.
My ancestors are european. I am reconnecting and relearning the old ways, old stories and discovering i have a lot to learn. But animisme is all to me now, it is worth to dive into and look for the history of my ancestors. Love Rune and his teachings, this really helps!!
Thank you Rune, great sum up of the main theme I picked up from your great RUclips channel over the last couple of years. And thank you for the singing! I look forward to more of that from you and from all of us.
@mattiaslindberg7775 thanks man! and LOL - naaaaah brother! I don't think that is my thing. It doesn't sound unberably off key, but I also TOTALLY don't think my voice reaaaally can pull off a stage like that 😀
Awesome! About time too, Ted! My mind is boggling with the possibilities and responsibilities in this story. Thank you for a great talk, Rune and for going all the way to Ireland to give it. I'm sure you met some kindred spirits there.
Rune, you are doing such an important work. Getting reconnected with our planet and perceiving it as a living animated being, a relative is in my opinion the only way to safe it from destruction and deployment long-term. Thanks for spreading the word with so much engagement and persistence 🥰
Tak Rune! It is so important for this conversation the way you remind people to awaken the fact of animism within themselves and that we are all native to this earth! It's not about cultural appropriation, or jeopardizing access for at risk communities. We need those communities to remind us of "the way", and then we need to apply "the way" as it relates in our own communities. Thank you for helping us define this process, and coining the syntax to translate these concepts into terms that will allow us to interface with the discussions of the 21st century.
This was awesome… I hope this reaches many ears and hearts. I’ve been feeling low after this week’s U.S. election results. Hoping the world will one day wake up to its choices. 😢
Great talk, Rune! And thank you for all that you do👏🧡 It’s not perhaps of importance right now, but I often wonder how we came to lose land connectedness. How did the seed of separation start to sprout?🤔
Thank you for this @emilielorentzenmusic.I think this is a process where different ideologies or worldviews become normative. In many ways Christianity leans away from landconnection. Later we have Modernity which has a complex of rationalism, nationalism and a strong insistence that there is a strong distinction between the material world and the world of meaning and subjectity
@ Thanks for your reply! That makes sense. The idea of “us and them” when it comes to humans and animals/nature must’ve popped up many times through history, and I guess it’s “just” bad luck that it happened to be part of the Christian ideology and that that became as widespread as it did🤷♀️ This is of course an oversimplification of magnitude😅
great speech and inspiration to delve deeper into central european history for recovering traditions here. What seems specific to you here in Germany f.i.?
It was a privilege to work with you Rune. Many Congratulations and Well Done 👏👏👏

Thanks so much for the appreciation @erictheded3392. I am so happy that my work resonnates! :-)
So glad to see Rune getting some exposure! The topics he discusses are too important to ignore.
Animist thinking has added so much quality to my life, especially living in an urban area. Great talk!

Thank you for the message! Kinship with the land will be essential to coping with the unfolding polycrisis we face. ☮
This profound message needs to reach as far as it can! What an inspiration!
@thecacklingwitch thanks and yea 😀 am struggling to make it heard 🙂
We can absolutely learn from our own lands by listening. Thank you, Rune!
@amandamarksdottir5905 - totally. And we need to simultaneously learn from different cultural groups while being unambiguosly respectful
This is one of the things I love about TED Talks: the chance to hear about lives so very different from my own. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Exactly 🙂!

yes exactly - and if it is brought also to the forefront in policy, social systems, and cultural prioritization 🙂
Love this idea. Living in the United States as a member of the European diaspora, I would love to learn how to connect to the pulse of life here.
Excellent talk, the western world needs more of this dialogue.
So true!
If traditional knowledge is knowledge of being in reciprocal relationships with land, then it makes sense that anyone can acquire and contribute to building this knowledge.

Look at his work on Aun, it is one such movement from Rune.
Wow! So many interesting yet culturally inherit insights into a truly viable sustainable ways to relate to nature, and culture.. Great intro to something that deserves so much more serious attention.
Rune I'm so glad to finally get to see your talk. This was wonderful. We'll have to get you out on the bogs here in Ireland!
Excellent talk Rune! So grateful for the work you are doing in bringing Animist ways of knowing, being and relating to majority populations.
It's so important to retain this cultural intelligence and knowledge so well done for championing the cause, Rune.
thank you so much Bob!
My ancestors are european. I am reconnecting and relearning the old ways, old stories and discovering i have a lot to learn. But animisme is all to me now, it is worth to dive into and look for the history of my ancestors. Love Rune and his teachings, this really helps!!

Thx Rune Hjarnøe Rasmussen, for sharing your deep profound knowledge🖤🔥🤘🇪🇭🕊
thanks for support, bro! 🙂

@@NordicAnimism"the worst thing you can do to a song is not sing it" :)
@@christopherrowley7506 Good Point :-)
Wonderful talk Rune! I hope this reaches many people who join on the journey of discovering the animist roots of all cultures. 🌱
A fantastic talk! I’m sharing this with my people, hoping they will share it with theirs. This is such an important talk!
thanks a lot, man! -
Thank you for this talk and for your work during the last years! 🐦⬛
thanks! - am super happy it resonnates 🙂
Awesome! About time too, Ted! My mind is boggling with the possibilities and responsibilities in this story. Thank you for a great talk, Rune and for going all the way to Ireland to give it. I'm sure you met some kindred spirits there.
This is so powerful. Thank you for this timely and impactful message!
Can we btw mention that living in an animate world is a huge lot of fun? Every walk you take has added depth.
Rune, you are doing such an important work. Getting reconnected with our planet and perceiving it as a living animated being, a relative is in my opinion the only way to safe it from destruction and deployment long-term. Thanks for spreading the word with so much engagement and persistence 🥰
This is fantastic! Im currently applying for a PhD in religious studies, and Im so grateful for Rune and Nordic Animism.
Excellent presentation by Rune, as usual!
Always glad to listen to your knowledge and insights, Rune! Such a great contribution to Nordic animism.
Culture is the key to moving forward as a society.
An important story to connect back to our ancient ancestors
A priceless moment. Wish I could have been there in person ❤. I would love to be able to have the honor of having a conversation with him.❤
Rune, your story telling is so inspiring. Loved your authenticity in this story and I learned so much more about Denmark.
Tak Rune! It is so important for this conversation the way you remind people to awaken the fact of animism within themselves and that we are all native to this earth!

I love getting to learn from Rune. Yet another excellent presentation.
Well done Rune, you opened our eyes and our ears, thank you.
I'm sharing this with my students, thank you!
It's everything I believe, teach and continue to inpart in my practice.
Rune, this is a beautiful introduction to animism and commune with nature. It creates an ache in my heart for the future - that has to be good......
Great to see you on a proper stage and on the Emerald Isle no less!!!
Beautifully delivered. Thank you Rune!
Thank you for this important work Rune. It’s helped me along my path many times! ❤
Amazing talk - thank you very much for all your invaluable work on Nordic Animism!
Such an interesting topic! Rune is always to the point and provides a unique perspective
Great talk, Rune. Thank you.
A very thought provoking talk, thank you.
Thank you for explaining this in an understandable way. You really put to words the way I feel about animism, so I can share it with people sround me
So glad they released this talk, well done Rune!
Thank you Rune. We need relations and reciprocity so bad right now.
Totally! - and at this exact time. We need this more than ever!
This is wonderful. Congrats on the Tedx. More of this please

Profound and timely as always
