“At least we have this, Perkele!” Indeed, chum. Saatana!
I got a notification that Nobody commented on the video. Well shit, I would have liked it to be a bit more successful 😅
@@Anttimation 😂Sorry, just my self deprecating way of naming myself.
That made me laugh! :)
@@N_0968 your name being Nobody reminds me of Odysseus in the Odyssey. In that tale he finds himself on a island of Cyclops and is in danger of one of them. He had blind it with the help of his crew mates. The giant asked who was there and he said "Nobody". So after he left the other giants asked who had attacked the blind one. The blind one exclaimed "Nobody! Nobody attacked me!" And the other giants laughed and dismissed it.
So yeah you subscribing and Antti seeing nobody subscribe reminded me of that ancient prank lol.
I was thinking of getting a hannunvaakuna tattoo, but I’m afraid people will just think I’m an Apple fan, which would piss me off as a Linux user.
Haha, well you can go for a more elaborate design to avoid any confusion 😎
I would personally welcome an idiot indicator like that. Imagine if every idiot you ever met, came to tell you "I'm an idiot." beforehand and save you the trouble of finding out.
@@inso80 lol this is great
I hear you! 🐧
Knots and magic go hand in hand, i think
hmm now that you said it, I think so too.
"To all the Hannus out there" - Me sitting with my cat named Hannu, be proud my son, be proud 😌👌
Haha :D the symbol of your cat!
💪
I love this! I'm all about the symbols and symbolism. Great job!
My name is Johan (Johannes, after Johannes Sonkajanrantalainen, the martyr) but i am called hannu by my family, thanks for this video!
You're welcome! This video is for you, then, hehe.
all these deeply symbolic church boats at the start really hitting the whole thesis of the video home 👌
You just made my day or night! Great video again, thanks, Maggie
Thanks once again Maggie! 😊
kiitos another great Video on Finland History keep it up.
Thank you for your continued viewership! I will certainly keep it up 💪
Another solid video, keep up the good work!
Thank you Sir!
This is a truly excellent channel
That is a truly excellent comment!
Great video
Thank you so much!!!!
You're most welcome! 😎
I think all Nordic countries use this as a road sign for "places of intrest". Love the videos, as a Norwegian it's very intresting to learn about the history and culture of our neighbours and from a different point of view.
Thank you! Yeah I think it's a well chosen traffic sign! Do you have any channel on Norse mythology/history you could recommend?
@@Anttimation I couldn't agree more! I mainly watch Jackson Crawford based on the fact that he is a expert in the field and also can read and speak ny norsk and norse. He also bring in exoerts on other cultures and fields to basically look at each others notes. He has also translated Volsung saga, Hávamál, The Poetic Edda and some other sagas into English. And he writes it in a more modern translation.
I also watch History With Hilbert. His content is alot more mixed and he focues alot more on the other viking tribes further south in Europa. But he also got a few lectures that he held at the University in Oslo.
The only Scandinavian i know can bring up some videos on the topic is Baltic Empire. Don't know of any Norwegians or Danes. But i do wish someone made history from Northern Norway(where i live). Since we where shaped by both the norse, sami and later finns(kvener). Sadly that is also a part of the story that still to this day isn't talked about many others the scholars. Because the Nationalism during the 1900 tried to play this down history. And still today the Norwegian history books doesn't really focus on the north.
Thanks! I watch Crawford & Hilbert too and going to check out Baltic Empire now.
I don't know much about the history of Northern Norway but if I do end up reading about it, I could of course make a video.
The most based symbol that I've ever seen, which makes me proud but also sad because it's not widely used anymore.
Well, let's bring it back!
This symbol is also called St John's Cross or a Witch's Foot in other parts of Northern Europe,
Since it is very likely St John the Baptist, called Thunderer, who's feast day in the summer solstice, is who the early Northern Christians syncretized Thor/Perkunas/Ukko with, it is thus very likely this had something to do with the Hannunvaakuna, and it's associations with protection and prosperity.
Witch's foot I haven't heard before... Thanks!
Kiitos terveisin Hannu/ Thank you best wishes Hannu
Kiitos Hannu!
Sukuni Kauppiset on lähtenyt 1000-vuotta sitten Karjalasta liikkunut välillä savossa, oma sukuhaara palannut Ruskealaan ja kotipaikka on jäänyt sinne. Ukki Johannes, vanha isomummi ja 4-vuotias isäni joutui lähtemään evakkoon. Olen huomannut, että joku muinaisaikojen suojelus on ollut kokoajan matkassa.
Very inspiring symbol... As I met it in several variations, I wonder if the direction of the perpetual loop has any specific signification. I would be curious to know. Anyhow, thank you for your work :)
Thank you! The only thing I've come across that would have something to do with the direction is its (potential) symbolizing of the four directions, like a compass.
Hannunvaakuna looks a lot like some of the Mississippian moundbuilder designs here too. Ours is often depicted with four woodpeckers though. Good stuff
Well, in the end it's a pretty simple shape so it's no wonder. But my favourite conspiracy theories involve it being linked to some ancient Finnish cult operating all over the globe :D
@@Anttimation Some sort of ancient Finnish globetrotters?
We've got a similar one, talking about a cult of gold worshippers that traveled around the globe creating hierarchies (pyramid schemes), to get others to put the needs of societal homogeneity over the individual.
Tangentially related, there are apparently some Yuchi folk that believe that they are descended from scandenavian folks that tried to settle what they called Vinland. Wild stuff.
cool but what was the magic the symbol gave?
are you going to do more on regional symbols?
I hope you do some mythology episodes.
I've only read about it bringing luck or protecting from evil spirits 🤷
It brings luck and protects from bad spirits as Antti said. Most symbols do that really, like the tursaansydän.
@@Anttimation interesting, I read some of the Emerald Tablets once and it spoke of moving in circles/arcs to avoid the 'danger'. almost like a riemannian geometry bypass.
Cymatics shows the shapes of sounds. The Om sound makes a mandela which is quite a coincidence. I wonder if the shapes of those ancient knot loops is a visual representation of holy or power words which we have forgotten. interesting stuff either way.
@@charleswidmore5458 hmm, could be. That is often the case when it comes to folklore. The valknut for example, I don't think we know what it used to mean.
Hey man, love the channel! Do you have a link to the image used in this video? The Hannunvaakuna with the sword through it I cant seem to find it online. Thanks!
Thank you! Well I drew it and don't think I've put it much anywhere. Here it's on Instagram:

@@Anttimation Thanks man!
Church boat, or a spider the wrong way around 😄
I would like to use 'Käpälä', since that would be the basic form of käpälikkö. Let me elaborate a little bit. Käpälikkö would in my mind refer to a place where you can find the symbol. Another Finnish slang word is "käpälämäki" which could refer to a safe place, the hill where the Käpälä resides.
Also looks like a käpälä.
Hmm that might make more literal sense, however it has come to be known as käpälikkö due to reasons unknown to me.
@@Anttimation I ran into the name käpälikkö at taivaannaula. Not sure, but I'm pretty sure Hannu didn't invent it and it is a symbol of safety and protection. For me it's Käpälä and everyone else can be as wrong as they like. Peace out!
Oh, and luck too.
Luulen että käpälä viittaisi kämmeneen, koska käpälää ainakin käytetään kämmenen synonyymina.
It’s like a Celtic knot! …Only with an extra loop.
That makes it... a knot! :D
Nyt on kunnon läppää, tilaukseen :D
Noni, kiitos!
Wait skiing is atleast 1000 years old?
In the North with snowy winters, skiing refers to cross-country skiing, a method of transportation especially back in the days, and is certainly at least 1000 years old, and more;)
Stolen by…The Apple…? Well, well, well. How bout that.
hmm new tattoo😍
Why not!
so hannuvaakuna was also found in egypt? no wonder the mad lad sigurd wettenhovi aspa claimed ancient egyptians were finns
Lol, would like to hear his reasoning behind that. It's a simple symbol after all, also found in North America and probably elsewhere too.
I feel weird 😕🤔but it's look like chinese new year symbol maybe it's related
Hmm I don't know how Chinese New year symbols look like. If they were connected, I guess it would have had to develop a very long time ago maybe from some Proto-Indo-European symbol, but there is no evidence of that.
@@Anttimation Allah knows what happens in the past, if the symbol related than Allah knows it.
take care of yourself from hellfire, you must believe and trust in Allah and the prophet Muhammad and you must believe there is ressurection day and the day that we will return to Allah and you must believe there is hereafter, heaven, hell and you must leave every magic stuff and you must leave every false god. In hereafter magic won't work, it's useless there, this is reminder ☺
@@mashasavageml8894 Please do not spread your delusions here.
@@Anttimation If you disbelieving that than hell is your home forever. And you will regret it for disbelieving that
While you are still alive this is your chance when you are dead the chance is over. 😢, we are from the same ancestor That is Adam and hawa/eve, we are fellow human being, you must believe in Allah his prophet and the hereafter 😔
Did you say subscribe to the channel and all that crap?? I was once told that the four loops represents the four spiritual worlds. Light, darkness, fire and water. But in retrospect, I remember the same person saying that North related to the light, South to the darkness, East to the fire, and West to the water.
That sounds like something I would have said 😂
Re: the meanings of the four loops - one common thing I hear is that they're the four directions. But I'm not sure we know for sure what, if anything, they used to mean.
I wont buy your Hannunvaakuna shirt lest I am likewise accused of having stolen the symbol as you have claimed of Apple. Culture isn't stolen--it's shared.
A multi-billion dollar child enslaving corporation can take some criticism in a comedy-toned RUclips video ;)
@@Anttimation No love of Apple on my end. I don't own a single product of theirs. I just refuse to succumb to the whole cultural appropriation ideology that's going on. It's Marxism, plain and simple. I'm happy to know that you said it in jest.
Kirkkovene is the symbol of stressing in school😂
As a finn that never know the meaning of this symbol and never wanted tattoos. I definetly want a tattoo now.
Kirkkovene or hannunvaakuna tattoo? :D
Its a sheild knot. Its an Aryan symbol
Interesting! I have not heard that before. Do you have a source you could link to read more?
@@Anttimation yes, I use a Quaker called Duck Duck go as a search engine. lol Look up, Shield knot?
@@Anttimation there is also a man on RUclips named Arith Harger and he does some good work on Norse symbols. But those knots are not restricted to any culture. I would call them First Nations and they are Aryan culture. Its all been mixed up and changed for Semitic culture
@@Anttimation If you wish to learn about our Aryan heritage, Robert Sepehr does some good work
@@Anttimation I am also practicing and training people in real magic but, I choose who and how. There are rules and they must be followed
The Ancient people could read the starts, this meant they could predict weather events things such as weather that lead to drought's/floods/storms etc. This could then be used to invade enemys or predict when to defend against enemys, today we use the calendar to know the seasons witch is based on the "Dharma wheel that is then based on "Astrology", but moustly everything including predictions are long gone. The Pagans is belived to have known the readings, and there where meny kings that wanted to get power, that's why they invented the Religions to teach people the opposite and make it into something meaningless. Basicly Enslavement for Power. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology one man that has good videos on this "Holy Science" is non other then santos bonacci.
