    Woah, this is saturated with information. I would love to hear a part 2
    I'm curious, I may have missed it but you mentioned that by Snorri's time the idea of Ragnarok was relatively new, do you have source material or reference that goes over this?

    • @thefyrdsman9590
      @thefyrdsman9590  3 года назад +11

      Hey Bjorn! Thank you for your comment, and I'm glad you asked for clarification. I'll make sure to cover this in a later video!
      When I refer to Ragnarok as relatively new, I should've clarified that I meant in terms of my comparison with the concept of the Einherjar. Whilst we see numerous references to the Einherjar in the pagan periods of Viking history - whereas our main source for Ragnarok is in the poem Voluspa, which was written at the height of Christian efforts to convert Iceland. There is a growing argument that places Ragnarok as a relatively late story, inspired by Christian tradition, but whether or not this is true or was actually a 'new' idea is certainly up for debate.
      It's something that's definitely worth a deeper look at though, and I plan to cover it in a future video!

Odin with spear ain't something from the Christians. He had no reason to change. Besides got even attacked by his own after such books as heretic. Cycles aren't new. This ain't much christian thing.

    11:17 in Galicia (northwest of the Iberian península), the Hunt is also called "Hoste Antiga", the Ancient Host. So, again, a reference to an army of the dead. In the Vth century the pagan Suebi conquered and settled in this province, so who knows...

    Hey! Loved this video. Have you read 'the hanged god: odin grimnir' and 'Wolfs-Head: Óðinn, The Ecstatic God of Tethers and Skin-Turning.' two books by the same author, Shani Oates. She touches a lot on the Odinnic wolf cults, berserkirs, Úlfhéðnar, the cult of odin etc. Something you might be interested in reading. She is by far my most favourite author when it comes to academic and factual research as well as spiritual.

    Jarl Eirikr Hakonarson outlawed Berserkers in Norway the year 1015 not 1215. But the berserkers were used in battles 1066 and probably longer, paganism existed well in to 13th century in Sweden.

    The pix with the man with an helmet with 2 snakes ( Jormungandr) and the wolf (Fenrir). Odin is the KORyonos. (Core of the Earth.) Loki is the Earth mag pole. When the distance between earth mag pole and geographic pole increase like now. It's like an unbalanced wheel who create more friction between the core (Odin) and the magma(Fenrisulfr.) Increasing internal warming causing the evaporation of the water (Jormungandr) in the earth's crust (chain of Fenrir) and Oceans. Dryed crust become more thinner the chains of Fenrir become fragile. Massive Earthquake and Tsunami come but Thor will kill Jormungandr and Vidar will kill Fenrir. In the movies Underworld i think Jormungandr is Markus the vampire and William is Fenrir the wolf. Ragnarok is the period of Chaos when Odin die causing the end of earth mag field , but the Phoenix will rebirth !! Many solar gods are in fact core of the earth gods. To hiding to humans that the core of the earth is not eternal....Be prepare Ragnarok is coming !

    The berserker, has nothing to do with bears!
    In german people walking naked, are still to this day described as walking in their Adams costume.
    That is basically a christianized version of calling someone a berserker.
    Berserk - 'ber' - most likely bare and 'serk' - middle english serk - shirt - clothes
    Berserk - bare clothed
    The bear warrior would according to norse etymology have to be called Björnserk - Björserk or other simmilar combinations of Björn - bear, and serk - cloth/costume.

    I don't understand why the helmeted figure would be Woden. Those aren't horns; they're ducks. The helmet has duck wings. There's a duck motif on the Sutton Hoo helmet as well; it's wings are the warrior's brows and the tail is his moustache. Also, the figure is weilding two spears, both of which look to be of a piece, as opposed to the wolf-headed character whose spear is fully detailed. My guess is that these are performers in some kind of dance, and unless Woden has some assocication with ducks or geese (which he well might; I have no idea) that that figure is a performer unrelated to Woden. Also, in other images, the figure is duplicated, as if there are more dancers present.

    Very interesting video. My only criticism is that the phrase "in spite of all evidence to the contrary" regarding belief in the existence of the spirit beyond death implies a materialistic bias that suggests that there actually is evidence to the contrary, which there is not. It's a physically untestable hypothesis with plenty of phenomenological evidence.

    We have an ancient tradition called "Kukeri" in Bulgaria, I believe it may have simillar roots to Mannabunde or "the wild hunt"". The celebration involves young men dressing in intimidating costumes made of animal fur, masks, horns and special bells on their waist to scare off evil spirits.

    The king of the men with long hair
    Haarleking (Hair king)
    He was the leader of young man leaving the village, the house, the family to get a real strong man and a warrior. They went into the woods and learned to hunt, to live like a ulfhednar or a berserkir in the woods and to get their strength.
    The young man with long hair was a sign that they were in education, in training to get a strong, wild man, a warrior. It was a alliance of young man to get strong warriors. It was pagan. Heathenish. It was theme in a Robin Hood film from 2010 with Russell Crowe as Robin Hood. But there was a good book too.
