Mr. Härger, glad I found the channel. Between you and Professor Jackson Crawford, There is sanity and clarity.
Your consideration of your viewers is far beyond most RUclips providers and testament to your attention and devotion to providing accurate non-biased education on a topic that is too frequently misinterpreted! I am college educated, read many of the Sagas, researched my own ancestors with a strong attention to detail and have found your presentations the very best I have found after a lot of investigation! I truly wish other “experts” would subscribe and learn from your unbiased format and gear their presentation more on the facts rather than personal agendas.
I prayed for a term by which to call myself in my personal practice because "witch", "magician", and "shaman" all feel incorrect to me. Then this video appeared to me. Be it the algorithm or the gods themselves, it seems my prayers have been answered haha
Great video as always!
i DO use your subtitles! and i have appreciated them for many moons! the extra body expression is very helpful- thank you- you put a crazy amount of time and effort into helping us learn. xoxo
You do a great job translating into English! I have never felt that I needed to have the subtitles in for you videos.
yes, exactly - such a lot of work and consideration goes into these videos; I do not think that subtitles are needed - i never knew they were an option and have not ever had any trouble understanding anything - in fact your 'breaking down' and description s of the words - is wonderful - it is something that i have always appreciated so much when ever anyone does that - it makes it much easier to remember the meanings of things that way - ; also to clear up mis-interpretations that may have been in other books and such. Your knowledge and videos are great - and you are a kind and compassionate teacher
I agree. I think he is very clear and I thought it obvious he takes the time to explain and he tells us where to go to get the information.
I love your videos, they are so neutral but so informative, I love that a lot. Always waiting eagerly for a new video and often re-watch some of them!
I very much appreciate your work Arith. Your commitment and quality are exemplary, and I hope American Heathenry gives your words more reflection.
Hello dear Arith! While watching this video today, the part you talk about the people who travell or use shape shiftining , I saw your meigin or fylgya coming to me like saying hello, and then I visualized you with the mountains behind. They were no too much high, light brown and pale green coloured, wiht few vegetation. Nice to see you!☺️Andressa Vanir
So...you are our Þul 😊 we are lucky to have you on the net, sharing knowledge with us!
Wonder how many of these words are written in runes, though...
This man could write a library!
Great video! Id love to hear if the norse had any perception on numerology as well. You are an amazing speaker. It is very easy for me to follow your voice. This is my 2nd channel, as i was locked out of my other one. So i had to come back and resubscribe on this one as well. You are a treasure ♡ much gratitude
I could tell you were using sign language in parts and I think that’s so kind of you! Loved this video and will be subscribing!!
I tried indeed hehe
Thank you for helping to educate me on this matter xxx
Thank you for behing here :)
Awesome Arith, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching :)
I loved this video, thank you for posting
Thank you for watching :)
You are my favorite person on RUclips. Thank you so much for the content
Oh thank you so much! That's very good to know! That made my day hehe
@@ArithHärger You're welcome sir. You deserve the praise
Hey brother, Heathen and paratrooper from The Asatru Community checking in from Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
I love your videos and are always a great watch. I learn more about my own faith every upload!
Are you newish to Heathenism? Becase TAC is a bit of a meme nowwa days
@@jshep2194 there is a small group led by Jorvik who are not "meme" folk.
@@jshep2194 aswell as I was a solo practitioner until I met somebody who was plugged into TAC
@@grantgardson I'll just let you know TAC isn't a very good organisation overall, not saying your group it's self isn't but the ORG. over all is shitty and money hungry. i'm part of a group called legacy of Tyr in VA and its a vetrans and active tribe, a TAC ambassador harrased us at one point for not wanting to join with them since we are trying to become our own for military heathen non profit, as well as scalping some of our ideas when it comes for military programs since they are alot bigger than we are. Our tribe comes down to do pub moots at brag once in awhile aswell just a heads up
@@jshep2194 what kindred? And as far as I'm tracking the only org that's attempting to do anything for military heathens is TAC. They are present.
Wow! Incredibly knowledgeable and very considerate!!! I definitely am subscribing and watching more videos!
Thank you for the subtitles! 🤗
Thul (my keyboard doesn't have an "eth/thorn" I confuse the two - we 5th gen. German immigrants in N. america are sadly unlettered. smh) - this title sounds closest to describing my own calling in this life. At least until tell the part about knowledge of kings' and heroes' lineage. Would I be correct in calling myself by this title if I did learn the local lore on lineages of such or is the title even relevant anymore? Thanks.
Your videos are always clear and I appreciate the subtitles for clarity of spelling and pronunciation. Your attention to detail is great and I think I'll have to get a notebook dedicated to your channel, thanks.
Obrigado professor, por mais uma excelente aula !
Olá! Hehe, agradeço ter assistido ^^
Belíssimas lições, do meu amigo Arith Harger, Continua.Parabéns! Abraço.
Thank you so much for the captions. It’s so hard to write it all down with out it. You are the best person out there doing this. Please write a book. Please write a book for us. We need your knowledge. You explain it in a way l remember. Please write a book. Don’t you feel it. You have too. It’s your destiny to keep it alive.. Thank you sir.
Thank you for spending so much time transcribing the videos. It is most helpful
Love your stuff kick on love it.
Bravo for signing there. Very rare to see that.
I'd like to learn more about ofrskr. Is there another term for it or can you recommend resources? The word doesn't come up in searches (English anyways).
Love your videos
I like the little bit of sign language there, Sir.
This is an awesome video! It made me wonder, if you had to give yourself a title out of everything that you mentioned in the video what would you be?
MISSOURI LOVES YOU ARITH!!
Tribe Longboarding I second that one brother
Thx for the deaf shout out.
English is not my native language to, so I realy need subtitles to better translate (in Russian in mind) and understand the speech. Thank you!! 😊👍
thank you again
"kom ihåg" is to remember in Swedish. ( to come in håg)
Thank you for adding that :)
@Ryan Borganson If you don't pull out, you get Grendel. (His mother was a Hag IIRC, and she tried to seduce Beowulf after he killed Grendel.)
Always a pleasure to learn...#Gandalf
i want to know if is ok to study and feel attached to scandinavian culture. I am not from anywhere near to those places. I am from puerto rico and I love this culture
Of course it's ok. If it calls to you, go for it. One should study Everything about Everything :)
Thanks
Just because you are Puerto Rican doesn't mean you don't have Scandinavian roots. Even Ancesty.com gets it wrong. You could of been Scandinavian in a past life too.
I'm working on reconstructing a North European Bear Cult, and while I have the framework pretty well figured out (process detailed below), I'm having a bit of trouble finding out details of it. The general vicinity is Scandinavia, Finland, the Baltic Coast, and the northern part of the Urals. The time period that I'm looking for information on is from the point in which the bronze age PIE incursion into the Neolithic Native population was only a generation or so prior. This is before the building of pyramids in Egypt and before the Eastern Mediterranean's Bronze Age Collapse. Because I can't speak agglutinative languages, I use PIE terms. Here is my logic:
I built the framework by going back to the predecessor people to those who practiced this, who are the Ancient North Eurasians. Then I looked at the religions of all the descendant peoples of the ANE to find correlations that existed in all of them. I noted that a great many of them held bears in either very high regard, or worshiped them outright. The ANE would have occasionally come into contact with the now extinct Short Faced Bear at the Eastern end of their migratory route. So I compiled the attributes that were everywhere in these descendant faiths. I then began to compare attributes of the compiled faiths with the portions of the faiths of the target region which were not found in Indo-European Faiths across the board, but were limited to the region, probably as holdovers from an earlier time.
Oh yes and "Shaman of death" - is there a title for someone who helps the dying to go with dignity and peace, the grieving to get on with life, and other related matters? The gods seem to have built my existence around matters of this type as well. I'm not into talking to the dead or to spirits . No invokation/evokation at all btw, thank you.
You speak very good English I have no problem understanding you. I'm from New York so I'm used to sign language.
I wish to learn more of sign language
@@ArithHärger it may be a valuable form of communication in the future and always good to know.
As always, an interesting video. Is it true that an alternative word for spákona is lítil völva? I've read a fantasy novel a view years ago witch includes northern mythologie and the the mane charakter was a spákona.
I love your videos !! And Our Heritage it Good too Know that you know the Actual Non Biased Truth due too all the Crap out there on our People these days... Not Too Mention on Pagans in its Self bu thats a whole Other Nightmare have a Blessed Day Brother🙏🏼
Thank you for your words :) I try my best to be both a teacher and a student. We are all students, always and Forever.
Arith Härger I Certainly Agree!! I have a Thirst for Knowledge and History and Culture and Our People too I went to College for Cultural Anthropology haha 😂 do you have a emai?
I just wanted to tell you, that I love your videos. They are really informative. Thank you!
I‘m not pagan (on paper I‘m christian, I would consider myself as agnostic), but I am interested in such old religions (especially the norse) and therefore it is really interesting for me.
And I understand you really well, your english is very good and often none native speaker (like you) speak a bit a slower english, which is sometimes easier to understand.
That you use sign language ist also nice, just be aware that there is no universal sign language, so not every death person will understand you. Which sign language do you sign?
There's such overlap between many terms, some being a subset, or more or less inclusive of elements of each other. Does there exist Venn diagram of these with definitions so one can grasp that aspect better?
So interesting! So many words....it's hard to remember all those words😄! Now I understand that voluspa is poem. The Nors music group Wadruna are singing a voluspa'. .... because the title is called ' voluspa'. Is that right? Your explanation is very understandable 💜
Note them down hehe. And look for the comments, because there is always some one kind enough to add more knowledge :)
@@ArithHärger thanks....😁
Do you know any sign language, or do you simply like being expressive with your hands? Sometimes I think I recognize signs in your hand movements.
Yes I do know some sign-language, but not that much because each country has its own sign-language and some regions within a country have their own version of sign-language, which makes things rather difficult for one such as me who is not very knowledgeable in sign-language as a whole. The sign-language that I use is a mixture of UK and American, but I'm not native to either. But I try, just to make it a bit easy for some viewers in this channel. But I always write the subtitles in English, so people can turn them on and it might be easier to follow the subtitles and the hand-gestures for guidance.
Hello Arith! I have been a great fan of your videos for a long time. I am new to paganism as a spiritual path but I am a scholar of Old Norse myth, religion, and literature. I would like to follow a Norse pagan path but it is difficult for me to detach the academic from the spiritual. I don't find a coequal male and female deities only male dominated gods which is a reflection of the culture of the Viking Age. These are some things that I encounter when trying to form a path in Norse paganism. Plus the association of magic with women and is condemned if you are a man. Maybe a guiding hand? Please?
Hello there friend, thank you for your message and thank you for being in there and appreciating what I do. I can give you a little advice/tip, nothing too strange or complex. I'm an archaeologist and in the archaeological record it's quite clear that paganism has always been evolving. It's much more of a syncretism of animistic belief systems rather than a religious set, always balanced with traditional folk beliefs and magic. As such, it has always been evolving to accompany humanity's own moral evolutions, as well as the needs and desires of each society through time. Paganism was never something fixed or stagnated, which is why it has endured more than most religions and it is older than every religion or structuring of a belief. Paganism adapts to the evolution of humanity as well as to the evolution of nature itself, and it is far more animistic in its pragmatic behaviours and basis of spiritual-thought. When it comes to Nordic paganism/animism most people focus on the Viking Age, which is a tiny period of little less than 300 years within the 11.000 years of humanity's history in Scandinavia. The Viking Period presents certain deities and belief systems, not all of them are ancient, many of which heavily influenced by Christianity. Some of the deities are also, of course, older than that period and a period-evolution to fit the particular beliefs, religions and morals of the society of the time, but some of which present prehistoric characteristics in their animistic conceptions. As I said, it's not something fixed. Things have always been changing and evolving, and it continues to change and evolve. Some deities and myths are new, some are ancient, some are recent, some are older, some are timeless, but it all continues to evolve.
I’ve always wonder how seidr was pronounced because I’ve heard it it a few different ways. Most commonly I’ve heard it pronounced like “seed”
Grandes lições. Você consegue revelar o passado mais além do período cristão/viking/Eddas.
Hi! I'm wondering if you or anyone can give me a citation or reference where I can find 'rammaukinn'? Thank you!!!
I wish to learn Galdur... where do i learn this?
I want to be a good bard, and to teach the next generation the old tales.
I hope that I can inspire the next generation with tales of the ancestors and their follies, as well as their triumphs.
I hope for response, but am aware of the lateness of my post.
If you respond, let me know of good resources, so that I can improve my songs so that I can speak for the ancestors to the next generation.
Subtitles why?you speak better English then American born people I know.
It's "than," not "then," and I believe he is doing the subtitles mainly for his hearing-impaired viewers.
there are people with hearing problems and they also need to have access to knowledge
TY I see where as you have spoke where words from the language ate used wrongly.
Thank you!!!!!
Adorable
Perhaps seiðr is related to English "sooth", as in "soothsayer". Sooth means truth, genuine, authentic.
interesting
Your beard is looking particularly nice today idsa as good if not better that my own I just fort you could use a compliment
Thank you very much for the compliment ^^ always good to have some once in a while hehe
@@ArithHärger thank you very much for all the licence they are always informative interesting and well worth my time again thank you very much
can you make a video on the lesser known god Vidar?
o termo håg também deu origem a hexe do alemão? seria possível esta colocação?
Sim, se não me engano é exactamente o mesmo que "hag" que vem do saxonico "hægtes, hægtesse" que por sua vez é do proto-germanico "hagatusjon". É daqui também que origina "hexe" do alemão, que por sua vez vem do Alto-Alemão Antigo "hagazussa". Mas isto precisa de confirmação porque estou a escrever de memória.
@@ArithHärger mais uma vez grato por tua atenção!!tenha um grande dia de Odin!!!
Good morning from Atlanta Georgia. Do any of these terms or what terminology would a woman who is also adept in herbs be? I hope you have a very good day!
Hello, I am in ATL too. Do you teach classes on herbanism?
Muna Igu I was raised with the knowledge but I do not teach it unless someone asks me for something in particular
Awesome! I wouldn't know where to begin to ask. If you ever offer a class, please let me know. Thank you.
Muna Igu are you wanting to know what herbs go with certain zodiac or planetary positions and or when to plant and harvest?
@@sevenis9712 thank you for responding back to me. I want to learn about herbs because some of my deity goddesses love herbs and I want to be able to grow them and give them fresh ones instead of dry ones.
Origin of the name of the Tolkien wizard Gand alf? :)
There are many from "certain communities" who can only speak pigeon, even though they were born in London..... Your command of the English language is vastly superior.
This is about as useful as studying navel gazing. Get your notebooks!
Thor was a black man
The gods have no skin colour, no country, no Religion, no flag. The divine is within all of us and beyond. Without boundaries.
@@ArithHärger The gods are formless eternal beings beyond the material world, obviously they wouldn't be bound by genetics.
Arith Härger This is exactly as I have explained it to people before. Still too many are asleep or in need of mainstream religious deprogramming.
