A sun cult makes perfect sense for a people who spent so much time in winter. As a Canadian I can appreciate having so little time with the summer months and am so grateful for the modern conveniences that allow us to thrive under a blanket of snow for 8 months of the year.
There is no way to thank you enough. All of your videos are of amazing people, places and things that I would only be able to see.....maybe in a movie? Or possibly a documentary. All are ok but you give it more of a real person kind of flair. Keep going. I see a lot of improvement and I think you could take this pretty far and have an amazing life to tell your descendants. Blessings to you.
The silver cauldron was AMAZING!!! As someone who has worked so much worked so much with Celtic deities, I was blown away by seeing Cernunnos…which oddly also reminded me of the scene in your book when Erik meets Yulenir for the 1st time, lol 😆 Thanks again for sharing another amazing museum ☺️
Thank you for this tour. This hit close to home, my grandfather came from Copenhagen and I have always wanted to visit Denmark. Thank you for this tour of my ancestors! I want to visit there now more than ever!
so cool you got to see the oldest written source for Odin's name, especially being a new discovery and you got to experience it in person. how special🙏 i'm not a norse pagan, i'm a celtic pagan, but i love your channel and videos, and i learn a lot that helps me in my own journey. many blessings to you & enjoy the rest of your trip!! 💚 ps i loved seeing your footage of the gundestrup cauldron - it looked beautiful & stunning; Cernunnos is a special deity to me 🙏💚🦌
No need to apologize about the audio; I'm so happy that they actually allow you to film in the museum. Thanks so much for sharing this with us man I love seeing all of this and the information you provide along with it. Favorite thing was the intricate details on that casket thing at the end, was similar knot work on what looked like a silver ceremonial axe. Close second was the cauldron
I found so incredible the fact that they worked the metal so skillfully, the patterns were as pretty as you can get, and it was all made it by hand, amazing stuff.
Everything about this video stirred my Spirit! Thanks Jacob! ❤ I especially loved that you talked about the Sun worship our ancestors did. I feel like Sun worship was a "universal" thing that reaches back to the beginning of human consciousness. That ancient practice is something that resonates with me greatly. Hail Sunna! ☀ I agree 100% that the Viking age was the end of the depth of the Pagan faith that once existed. Money, wealth, and power really do change how we connect with everything around us.
I enjoyed the tour of the museum, especially the pendants, 1 of which I'm wearing a replica right now. Learning so mush from your channel that I joined your Patreon site.
Great video, normally we go to northern Denmark on holiday. Have you been at the small museum at Lindholm Høje? It's a great place to be. Seeing this video, we are probably going to east Denmark next year. Going to these museums and sites is not only good for our information Hunger, but also for kids. I know my son of 6 really loves these sites.
The skeletal remains of an Aurochs and animal Totems carved in Amber! Didn't see the ornately carved casket in the presentation, until the end of the video. Yes, I see that the collection is massive and it would take several days to see everything. Thank You sooo much for a glimpse into the Danish museum! Skal!
Thank you for an amazing journey. Being a devout follower of Cernunnos, it was fantastic to see the Gundestrup Cauldron in a video. Instead of just a photo. Loving your channel. Keep up the amazing work.
I'm going to Denmark in two weeks and I'm so so excited about it!!! Thank you for your in-depth walkthrough! As a prehistoric archeologist, I really have to disagree with your statement about the Stone Age though. It is not boring in any way shape or form. Yes, we have stones and bones but we also have shells, minerals, different types of art! We have structures, evidence of different types of settlement (and plenty more). These can tell you incredible stories!! It's the embodiment of the beginning of humankind. It's the start of history. It's the birth of culture. How cool and crazy is that? We have artifacts that tell our ancestors stories from 100,000 years ago for example. This is so long ago, most cannot even comprehend it. And most of them are well preserved considering the insane amount of time they have been on this earth already! The Neolithic Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age are of course equally wonderful. No need to overlook what came way way before though 😊I also had the pleasure of listing to the sound of these horns 6:23 Not even one hand full of people are able to actually play them, very powerful sound!
@@TheWisdomOfOdin hahaa well yeah I'm very passionate about prehistoric archeology! Warmed my heart to see your passion for archeology and our ancestores as well!
Glad you liked our national museum! Whenever I come home to Denmark for Yule or other family gatherings I always put it on my list to visit the national museum because there's just so much wonder there, and I always notice and learn something new that I somehow missed last time.
I was there just before The Raid exhibition ended. Our go to City every year & a short walk to the museum from our friends. So much more to see next time. Great video 👍
It’s been over a decade since I last went to Denmark. I don’t know if I have ever actually been to the national museum in the many times I’ve visited my family in Copenhagen. I can’t wait to have enough money, vacay time, and everything else to spend enough time in Denmark to see everything that I haven’t seen before or to see again with a new understanding.
Fantastic job friend. Loved it. Everything is spectacular, but the Vesko Helmets are astonishing. I've seen the Gundestrep Cauldron before, but never so close. Hope you got the good goosebumps even if rushed.
a lot of the findings regarding religion during the Viking age you don't see in places like Stockholm or Copenhagen, you see the out in the countryside there are 6 Viking Ring fortresses build during the reign of the Danish King Bluetooth there were sacrifices going on a long time after Denmark officially became christian 1 of the ring fortresses is in Skåne modern day southern Sweden but until 1667 it was Denmark , there are also lots of outdoor ceremonial places with stones in Sweden, the Viking useum in Denmark is in Roskilde 25 min train ride from Copenhagen , however in general it's spread across the different countries so a lot is not in the capitals as they were not the capitals in the Viking age, the areas where the main city was moved around a bit in Denmark it have been Hedeby (now in Germany back then Denmark) Skåne (now in Sweden) Ribe and Jelling in Jutland, and Roskilde near Copemhagen
My favorites were the small stone ox/bison. I find them beautifully proportional. It must have been a labor of love to carve them so perfectly and then rub them until they shined.
@lisakrumwide2013: If I'm not mistaken, I believe they are carved in cloudy amber. Even more of a joy to behold! Someone long ago spent several days, if not weeks, carving and shaping them. They are highly polished. Skal!
the fact that Norway does not have lots of Rune stones does not mean the didn't have a lot of Vikings, they were fierce Vikings! they were however less centralized than Sweden and especially Denmark, so Norway was more small communities disconnected from each other, they were however very active and settled in Scotland, Ireland, Iceland and Greenland, they were also part of the settlement in Normandy together with Danes , there are other things from the Viking age in Norway such as the most amazing ship found and the stave churches (now I guess Churches is not the most interesting thing for a pagan but the architecture is clearly still influenced by paganism) hope you had a great trip although the weather wasn't the best and it is expensive, love from Denmark
The show Vikings used that light show story of the Viking sailor drowning at sea whos soul was taken by Rán as their opening sequence!!! What a cool find!!
Like all other cultures in times past it wasn't just the sun that was worshipped, it was other things that fly through the sky that go BOOM! You can make some pretty handy tools and weapons from them as well.
It's kinda cool to think about the fact that everyone who looses a relative or someone in their family today will mark their graves with a gravestone and that this tradition is worldwide and derives from Scandinavians putting down runestones or picturestones and that with the spread of people from Scandinavia to around the world this particular practice continues on to this day among every culture out there, this is were it all began.
This tradition is not unique to just Scandinavia, most of Northern Europe uses markers for graves going back thousands of years. The northern Scots were the first to make stone circles and stone henges in the Isles. More than likely the people of Doggerland were the progenitors of most of the northern traditions that evolved into the norse and the early north Scottish.
@@TheWisdomOfOdin omg I'm so jealous ! And I really wish I could join you in your kind there are like non that I can find in my area and I've been practicing for about 8 years now
Wow you’re still traveling are you traveling now? Do you have a job? I’m just curious can you share with me like how do you get income and how can I do something like what you’re doing?
I have been a full time content creator since August of 2020. When sitting down to do my finances last year I saw I was spending $1500-1800 a month just to live in an apartment and drive a car. So I said to myself "what if I didn't have those things." So I got rid of my stuff and my car. Now I use my income to travel rather than live in a place I do not own, and accumulate stuff that doesn't make me happy 👍
I'm Hindu and like Indra I think Odin is the Indra but I also accepted the Odin as he is in Norse history. I also believe in Greek history , but with your video i think Odin ...... Loves me like Indra in my minde they are all included Indra and Odin ,Agni , vayu etc . And always hate the missionaries who ruin the ancient for greed fu CK in h Christianity
Hey Jacob, thanks felt as though I was there with you. The horns amazing swords runes all must have been a blast my man. I know you've said best way to reach you is email and insta. I don't have an Insta can I get your email I have questions? The videos always beautiful and even though you thought horrible audio it wasn't bad great work.

Wow! A mammoth task. Thank you for showing us a round the museum, some amazing artefacts. 😍
There were so many I know I missed too. Such a huge place

Its a fun little adventure trying to find places to film 😆 I do my bet not to disturb other peoples experiences either
Carpet? In a museum? Look at the sound-man's delight of layered wood surroundings as he is complaning 😄
Thanks for filming

FINALLY!!!!! I've been waiting for this video. I loved every moment of it ❤️.
Next week I do the same for Stockholm! 👍🏻
@TheWisdomOfOdin YES!! I'm excited for that one as well.

Such dedication! Thank you 💚🙏
Thank you…
I’ll never go but so glad you shared!!! ❤❤❤
And that’s why I wanted to share ♥️ so happy I could take you with me in a way!
Thank you brother
Yes the Danes have un earthed a lot, in Sweden you find some wonderful treasures. Excellent Video! Thank you and greetings from Sweden.
Swedish museum video is next week!
What you mean? If you wtalk about south Sweden that was part of Danish history
Fantastic job friend. Loved it. Everything is spectacular, but the Vesko Helmets are astonishing. I've seen the Gundestrep Cauldron before, but never so close. Hope you got the good goosebumps even if rushed.
Really want to recreate those helmets and wear them in a ritual 👀
The Gundestrup Cauldron, just amazing!
I seriously could have stayed there all day looking at it!
@@TheWisdomOfOdin I can imagine, the opportunity to see it up so close would have been unbeatable.
That was very informative and helpful as a Runester.

I recommend you stay at Wake Up Copenhagen in Bernstoffsgade - just 5 min. from the Museum and cheap, 4-500 DKK = $70 pr. night.
Amazing Video thanks 👍
Awesome.
Great videos as always depicting our Ancestral faith!
In Roskilde they have a collection of vikingships, that was found under the water.
This is great thanks👍🇬🇧
Like all other cultures in times past it wasn't just the sun that was worshipped, it was other things that fly through the sky that go BOOM! You can make some pretty handy tools and weapons from them as well.
Norse mythology comes from one tribe - and they are the Cimbri, cousins of the Cymru (English speakers know them as Welsh)
The Met in NYC has ONE small display case of Viking artifacts. No criticism of that here, but I must go to Scandinavia!
It's kinda cool to think about the fact that everyone who looses a relative or someone in their family today will mark their graves with a gravestone and that this tradition is worldwide and derives from Scandinavians putting down runestones or picturestones and that with the spread of people from Scandinavia to around the world this particular practice continues on to this day among every culture out there, this is were it all began.

14:36 What is that?! It’s beautiful! Such amazing items there 😁
Aawwwww a casket 😁
It's very beautiful brother the gold bracteate with Odin is my favourite ! ^^
I really couldn’t believe I was seeing it!
Runestones....Old magic...
Love the art work and rune stones. The art work reminds me that Heilung are telling the truth when they say they are enhanced history.
Kai's new brand Old Norse is heavily inspired by a lot of the art/artifacts in this museum
You missed the Golden Horns with the Elder Futhark inscription ???
I didnt see them anywhere. I don't know here they were hiding them. I walked all through the museum. But again, very packed place
I'm surprised while in Sweden you didn't try to go check out grimfrost in person
I met some of the Grimfrost people at Midgardsblot 👍
@@TheWisdomOfOdin omg I'm so jealous ! And I really wish I could join you in your kind there are like non that I can find in my area and I've been practicing for about 8 years now
The Stone Age artifacts always make me think. I wonder how close Stone Age Norse religion was to what we know as Norse paganism.
They are not called horns but lur.
Wow you’re still traveling are you traveling now? Do you have a job? I’m just curious can you share with me like how do you get income and how can I do something like what you’re doing?

The swastika blew me away, i thought it was just from india!
They are very common on artifacts in the north. They are usually used for protection if I remember correctly
The swastika is actually originally from Europe, the oldest one was found in Russia/Ukraine
Okay, but.. is the museum cursed now for moving the stones?
Haha maybe!
I'm Hindu and like Indra I think Odin is the Indra but I also accepted the Odin as he is in Norse history. I also believe in Greek history , but with your video i think Odin ......
