My husband works / worships Thor I got him a necklace with the hammer. He left for basic training for the US Army Sunday he wanted me to wear it when I go to bed to help with anxiety, since I’ve been wearing it I haven’t had any or wanted to cry due to my husband being away for 7 months. So, I totally agree with mentally / emotionally strong.
It’s not surprising a lot of our military personnel are Norse pagan, I believe it’s one of the first pagan beliefs to be recognised by the military to be an actual religion I can see why.
Its kinda funny, Finnish version of Thor is Ukko. And in Finnish often if men say "whats up dude?" or refer each other like "your man" (If they talk to a woman about her boyfriend/husband). They might say "Mitä ukko?" that is in english like "Whats up Thor?" (Whats up dude?). Or "Sun ukko" that means "Your Thor" (Your man). So Ukko is kinda used as word like dude/bro/man in Finnish by men. They basically refer each others as god of thunder 😂 It can also be used like "työukko" (=work-Thor, a man that does physical labor as his job) "sotaukko" (=war-Thor, a soldier) "ukkoja kuolee" (=Thors are dying, alot of men are dying in war) And old man can be called "vanha ukko" that is in english "old Thor" (old man). But young men calling each other "ukko" is more positive and brotherly like. But calling old man "ukko" is more negative and its more like you call him very old. Women can also be called Akka who is Ukko's wife. And in ancient times "akka" was also neutral/positive word for woman and even young women could me called "akka". But this day and age "akka" means more like "old powerful crazy witch hag". And its almost a deregatory way of calling a woman. Its used like "noita-akka" (=witch hag) or "Pohjolan akka" (=hag of the North) or "akka voimaa" (=hag power) "hullu akka" (=crazy hag). Its a shame its much more negative word these days than Ukko :/
@@fiercedondebruja8 well ok then. I’d rather believe in Jesus, who loves you too btw. Did Thor reveal himself to you? Did he give you a guide to know his will?
I became more connected to Thor when I had to let my Grandpa go to his ancestors, a straight-forward hard working simple man. Signs of Thors presence did become more frequent around this time. Only days after this a precious person came into my life who I would call a Mentor for me, again a humble hard-working man. I fully agree with your experience of Thor being very protective and friendly.
Addendum to the workout as offering part: everything that requires effort seems to be well received by Thor. If all one can manage on a given day is to get out of bed and take a shower, doing that with intent and offering the effort one puts into it, then that is enough in my experience. Thor got me through a few very dark chapters in my life, and there were more than a few of those days. Now that I can do more, my threshold for effort has risen and so my offerings changed to new things that require effort. Either way, doing one's best, no matter how insignificant it may feel, seems to be greatly appreciated.
So I decided to work out today for the first time in ages. I saw this video in my subscriptions and decided to play it while I exercised. I don’t worship Thor and didn’t know working out was connected to him but it makes sense and I felt this little coincidence was him making himself known to me and he’s supporting my fitness journey.
Thor is one of my main deities. A few years ago a red oak got struck by lightening in my yard during a pretty strong storm. It didn't completely go down and was stuck on my fence (which was basically somewhat flattened and bent due to the extra weight). My family tried several times to take it fully down but the chainsaw kept breaking. I've always kind of known since I have quite a few witches and pagans in my family, that certain trees like oak trees shouldn't be cut down or bad luck would happen. So one day, I brought my ritual stuff out side, prayed and asked for permission to take down the oak. Even left out an offering of goat cheese and leftover lamb from dinner and a cup of rose wine (as that all the only type of alcohol available). The next day the food I left out was completely gone even the wine and the chainsaw started working again. I've been very close to Thor ever since, mainly ask him for protection and strength. I've also used a branch from that oak tree and fashioned it as my very first wand. I dedicated it to him and placed a storm agate on the tip. So it was kind of funny that you mentioned agates because I've always associated them with Thor. I also have an Iceland spar on his altar as well.
I was 14 when Thor showed himself to me and indicated to me that I was being called to the Norse Pagan path. It was during the summer. I was outside when a sudden thunderstorm came up. I tried to make my way into the house but the wind knocked me down. As i looked up into the sky, I saw the silhouette of Thor in the clouds, wielding his hammer and flashing lightning.
So I'm not really that religious or spiritual but I find Theology fascinating. I'm currently writing a Viking comic by myself and Thor is in it. And today out of nowhere we got a rescue dog from a friend and his name is Thor! Also, Thor is my favorite Avenger and I have a lot of his Marvel figures and comics Lol Coincidence?!
When i make soups or stews i often offer the last bowl or two worth to thor for protection of my home and land. The last two hurricanes that were supposed to pass directly over me have turned to the south/north in the last day. Perhaps coincidence but inspiring none the less.
Hi, I'm very close with Thor. I resonate with everything that was said from you and others. He gave me some armor which I can summon when needed for spiritual/ psychic protection. It just appears over my energy body when I summon it. He also gave me a hammer which I've only ever used to either summon or honor him. I call on him for different things involving strength and power. Once at the end of the day I had been exhausted by interactions with spirits all day when a demon appeared. I knew I just didn't have the energy for the encounter so I called Thor for help. Lightning shot into me and filled me with power and I was able to effectively handle my uninvited guest. But I couldn't sleep for 2 days afterwards because of all the energy he pumped into me! Not all of my experiences with Thor have been as fantastic as this one, but this was my best example to explain why I embrace him with my life. So he can motivate and empower you for the various challenges in life, but with a very strong bond this could be a literal empowerment too. Maybe similar to how the stories go with the berserkers, who could summon the strength of great beasts to empower them in battle. You could use Thor in a similar fashion to empower you in battle. So if you get attacked by muggers one night while walking to your car and you decide it's necessary to fight, call Thor who would love nothing more than to help you out with that :) He's also there for times when strength of the heart and spirit are needed, and motivation for the mind. He's also good for matters concerning energy related work, including grounding. So if I have too much energy and for whatever reason it's not working to try to ground myself through conventional ways, then that's when I'll pray to Thor for help to discharge it. Lastly, I'l say he's good to invoke for things like bravery and courage. He resonates positively to anyone with a well developed sense of honor too~
This is one of the most incredible testimonies I've ever heard (I am new to the pagan community and am in awe that some people have the same deep and interactive relationships with deities as Christians claim to have with Jesus). I like the idea of working with Thor, but honestly, I don't think any of the deities want to work with me.
Yeah Jesus is just another deity when you get down to it. I dont have anything against him either, its just his teachings (or human kind's interpretation of them) which I dont resonate with personally. There are 11 different deities I commune with daily and including myself we form a "tribe" of 12. They are from the Norse, Greek and Celtic pantheons and form an odd bunch of sorts whom you dont usually hear of working all together... but we do so wonderfully! Thor is one of the ones who is right there whenever I need his help and I can always count on a meaningful response in my life within a day if not immediately. Its all about the connection you facilitate with your offerings and attention, and the same is true with any deity, I think. You dont need to know their lore or have a fancy altar to them unless that helps you to connect to them. Really though, just talk to them as you find deities who interest you and if sincere you will eventually connect with one or more. I have a friend who died briefly in a tragic accident and before they revived her she described an encounter with Thor who opened her eyes to the world of spirits, and then told her it wasn't her time to die yet. So yeah, the pagan deities are out there supporting humankind just like their Christian counterparts :) @@33-vertebrae
I spend a day taking care of goats and I totally understand the relationship you have with Thor, they are temperamental, teaching their puppies to assert themselves and be active from a young age, goats seem to have an infinite appetite!! I received a natural stone Mjolnir directly from the ocean, when I wasn't even Heathen, only this year I discovered that he communicates constantly and we are so alike ♡ He bless me with my first job at 18⚡️Im a artist and painted a a sweatshirt with the theme and elements of this god. Heil Thor! 🐏
I wanted to say this seeing if someone will relate, but one day I asked thor to give me a sign he was there, watching over me, and a day or two later there were goats In my neighborhood
Hello Bente! I’ve been watching your channel for a few weeks now and LOVE your content! So, the past few weeks I’ve contemplated working with Thor, I typically honor other goddesses and gods in the Norse pantheon but wasn’t sure if I connected to Thor. Today I inadvertently wore my mjolnir shirt, I saw your notification of this video being posted about him , then a thunder storm happened 20 min later! Safe to say, I’m excited to start learning more about him! I’m so excited to see more of your videos!
Great vid! One of the reasons Thor was invoked to bless some runes could be because Thor actually predates Odin and he was not created yet, funny because we think of Odin as the all father.
Great video!! Thor is my main deity and I talk to him a lot.. a have a full altar for him. I talk to him a lot when I feel I'm not my strongest in my mind set - I think as well because my job is moving people homes (house removals) he's always there watching over and protecting me because of how I help others just like him!! But keep up the cool vids!
I'm new to Norse paganism and I will be honest with you. There's a few reasons I was drawn to this. First off my name. My name is Arthur. Arthur is defined as strong like Stone and a follower of Thor. Second, my wife and I were infertile for five almost 6 years. Had two miscarriages and I'll be completely honest. The only time I ever asked for something I asked Thor to bless me with a child and 2 years ago we had my daughter. So as far as I am concerned, if there's any God on any plane to worship, he'd be the one for me I must add that the day I asked for my daughter to be born or to be conceived. It happened to be an exceptionally beautiful thunderstorm. I didn't think he was listening after all the Norse gods don't really give a s*** if we pray to them. They don't really want our prayers or our praise but it was awfully nice to feel as though somebody was listening
Hi, I am a beginner witch and trying to get comfortable with Thor. Just know, I felt his or someone's presence over my shoulder it felt like Thor. I am finding my intuition and choosing to trust my gut that it is him. Thor is very kind and friendly, sometimes funny. I am pretty sure he is reading this now, but you know, he's great. I usually hear them ask me question like "are you learning about me?" for example, Loki jumped in at a random time when I was learning about him and he asked me that. Makes me laugh sometimes that they just know and I love it.
Thank you! He showed up in a dream of mine and I’ve been looking more into him ever since it was so weird but I won’t get into it😅. I think of him often since then and I absolutely love thunder storms and heavy weather and last night it was thunder and lighting a lot and one of my dogs looked a little scared and I said it’s okay baby it’s just lord Thor she calmed down and it’s like the thunder got louder (which I love)so I think he’s been around!!!❤
Typically I offer Thor Jack Link's teriyaki beef jerky. The scent reminds me a lot of him, and when I call on him, he almost always gives me a sense of calm.
I started wearing a Mjollnir in response to the existing conditions for trans women in daily life. My girlfriend and I have felt the need to protect one another as the campus we live on gets less and less safe for trans girls, and I’ve generally felt lots of sorrow for how unsafe I feel in daily life; Thor, I think, embodies what trans people need right now, and wearing the Mjollnir makes me feel that he will protect me and my love.
You had some experience with Thor. I have a strong connection with him for years. I see him a lot and we have chats a lot. We are past being formal and are really casual with each other. I had a Mjolnir necklace. I wore it for years but I lost it about a year ago. Now today my new necklace came in. And I wear it. I still have a good bond with Thor and had a chat about it. He says it now brings my energy down. I am a little confused and sad. Like I used to wear his hammer for days on end no problem. But now I can't wear it for more then two minutes because I get exhausted and sore muscles. I don't know what to do...
Thank you I really enjoyed this. I go running quite often and I always try to put in an extra lap in honour of Thunor, as we Anglo Saxon pagans know the deity as. In my head the extra lap is "Thunor's Lap". I also like to think Thunor would have a great roaring belly laugh and, although quick to anger, would be quick to forgive too. Thank you again.
I agree to both descriptions ☺️ I kind of feel like he’s quick to anger but other than that more like a cuddly bear kind of person? Don’t know how to describe that properly xD a big bulky very nice person
Thor has been very protective of me , and that I am greatly appreciated for, my experiences with him has been quite a journey but that's okay and I look forward to the adventure of life. But as always I love the videos and hope you have a good day bente!!!
Hallo Bente, jetzt muss ich doch nochmal kommentieren. Ich komme jetzt erst dazu, dein Video anzuschauen, denn mein Sohn ist heute sehr spät eingeschlafen. Danke, dass du all dein Wissen teilst. Odin ist sicherlich sehr stolz auf dich. Tatsächlich habe ich bisher in meinem ganzen Leben noch nie so leicht einen Zugang zu den nordischen Göttern und dazugehörigen Praktiken bekommen wie durch deine Videos. 🙂 Total cool. Vielen Dank und alles Gute. 🙂
Oh my goodness this is funny. I started working out more frequently recently because I wanted to get stronger physically (restarted some martial arts training) I was just nudged by Loki that whatever I'm doing is making someone very happy then I was wondering: is the 'someone' Thor? And I chanced upon your video from Loki to learn about exercise being an offering. 😂 life works in very mysterious ways indeed!!! 😂😂😂
I don't work with Thor very much (most of my work is with Hel and Loki) but what I've found is he really loves meat snacks like Slim Jims and beef jerky, which I usually give as offerings to him alongside beer.
I know I'm a little late to this video. I want to make a special offering to Thor. I want to make a seax with either an oak handle or rams horn. Would that be a good offering?
This may be a weird question but: if I wanted to dedicate something (like weight lifting and building strength) to a deity (like Thor) because it would help me to stick to it, but I don't currently worship or have a relationship with that deity, would that be seen as flippant or inappropriate? (Actually if I have a relationship with any deity it would be Thor because ever since I was a kid, I have spoken to him during thunderstorms. But even so I'm not sure if it would be rude to a deity to dedicate something to them if you aren't going to do more or build a relationship with them further than that, at least for now.) Your thoughts please?
Have you done a video on Hel? I seen one video someone said not to work with death Gods/Goddesses? I only ask because she stands out to me so much and I've been so hesitant.
Yes I have a video on her since I do work with her. And there’s nothing wrong with working with death gods/goddesses. Actually all the gods/goddesses I closely work with habe some association with death ☺️
Hi Bente, can't wait to dive into the video! I have an off topic question. I don't know if you have answered this question somewhere already. So my apologies if you did. I'm quite interested in your studio lights. 🙂 Can you tell me the name of the brand or product, so that I can research the ones, you've been using in your earlier videos? Blessed be. 🙂
Hi Bente.I have many vision's in my sleep. Some people call them dream's. A couple of weeks ago I was in a room & some people in the vision said they were coming down. Then all of a sudden the vision went black & I could not see. I knew a creature was upon me. I did not know what it was but it was bigger than I. I could feel it's head against mine but it's mouth was down towards my chest like it bent it's head down kinda thing. In the vision I was thinking should I fight this creature. So in the vision I closed my eyes as it was over my eyes anyway. Then I concentrated & formed like a aura around the creature & got a picture of it in my mind. I could only describe it as a very large wolf that had its legs either side of my shoulders with its forehead next to my forehead & nozzle resting on my chest. I was not afraid during the vision as I have had thousands of vision's about everything that is possible & I am undefeated in all my vision's of battles. I don't know why I did not feel the need to fight the creature. It's like he was trying to tell me something. Do you think this is a sign or an acknowledgement of some kind.
I can’t tell you if it was a sign or some entity reaching out, you’re the only person who’ll know that. But I guess it could be, especially because you weren’t frightened. Maybe it was an animal spirit or maybe Fenrir?
@@TheNorseWitch I will have to read up on him. The creature did not bite me though. But I did get bit in a vision why I was sleeping the other night. There was a woman in a car next to water & the water was rising, I'm not sure if she was trapped & she was speaking a foreign language. Then I was in a very old mansion. I was talking to a man. Over the other side of the room I could see 5 or 6 maybe more people playing with what looked like a shadow & I think a skeleton. They all came over to me & the man I was talking to . Said something like I will show you. Then he leaned around & bit the side of my neck , not for long,about 30 maybe 40 seconds. As he was doing it I thought this does not hurt at all & that I was much more powerful than he was . Then he pulled away & his mouth was very wide & looked grotesque to be honest. Then he said to me. You have now got what the Americans call infamous drift. Then he looked at the others that were there & said he looks very menacing. Referring to me. Then I left with a woman . But I'm very sure if the bite had hurt I would of probably destroyed him very easily because he seemed very weak in some ways that I can not explain. Because I have had visions when I'm sleeping that I have fought all kinds . Most of my visions are about women though . Even family & friends. I have had them all my life since I was child. Every night without fail.hundreds of them. They have become much clearer since I became a pagan & stop eating meat & I have been over 7 years sober now & not even tasted alcohol. I have had visions of every country , every nationality, religion & even things you would not believe or maybe you would.
Unverified personal gnosis ☺️ which basically means spiritual experiences you’ve made or spiritual viewpoints of yours that are neither shared by other people nor proven true by sources
Unverified personal gnosis I think is the acronym. It’s basically the code name for “here is an experience I have had that doesn’t directly come from something in the myths, or that others have had to my knowledge.” It can become verified if more than one person says “I’ve had that same experience!” A good example in the context of Thor, is that multiple people in this comment section say that he likes jerky, like slim Jim, or other meat products
I see Thor as a father figure for some reason must be cause of his protectiveness towards humanity. Or maybe it's the dad bod jokes. I find Thor likes a good dad joke

He also reminds us to love ourselves, to forgive ourselves. His hug during a thunderstorm reminded me that it wasn't my fault. Trauma is real.
That was just physics, not Thor

I talk to him a lot when I feel I'm not my strongest in my mind set - I think as well because my job is moving people homes (house removals) he's always there watching over and protecting me because of how I help others just like him!!
But keep up the cool vids!
Thank you for sharing that 🥰❤️
@@TheNorseWitch you're more then welcome :)
I am so happy I came across your channel! I'm learning so much 🥰🥰 thank you!
You’re so welcome 🥰
I'm new to Norse paganism and I will be honest with you. There's a few reasons I was drawn to this. First off my name. My name is Arthur. Arthur is defined as strong like Stone and a follower of Thor. Second, my wife and I were infertile for five almost 6 years. Had two miscarriages and I'll be completely honest. The only time I ever asked for something I asked Thor to bless me with a child and 2 years ago we had my daughter. So as far as I am concerned, if there's any God on any plane to worship, he'd be the one for me I must add that the day I asked for my daughter to be born or to be conceived. It happened to be an exceptionally beautiful thunderstorm. I didn't think he was listening after all the Norse gods don't really give a s*** if we pray to them. They don't really want our prayers or our praise but it was awfully nice to feel as though somebody was listening
Hi, I am a beginner witch and trying to get comfortable with Thor. Just know, I felt his or someone's presence over my shoulder it felt like Thor. I am finding my intuition and choosing to trust my gut that it is him. Thor is very kind and friendly, sometimes funny. I am pretty sure he is reading this now, but you know, he's great. I usually hear them ask me question like "are you learning about me?" for example, Loki jumped in at a random time when I was learning about him and he asked me that. Makes me laugh sometimes that they just know and I love it.
Thank you! He showed up in a dream of mine and I’ve been looking more into him ever since it was so weird but I won’t get into it😅. I think of him often since then and I absolutely love thunder storms and heavy weather and last night it was thunder and lighting a lot and one of my dogs looked a little scared and I said it’s okay baby it’s just lord Thor she calmed down and it’s like the thunder got louder (which I love)so I think he’s been around!!!❤
Typically I offer Thor Jack Link's teriyaki beef jerky. The scent reminds me a lot of him, and when I call on him, he almost always gives me a sense of calm.
I started wearing a Mjollnir in response to the existing conditions for trans women in daily life. My girlfriend and I have felt the need to protect one another as the campus we live on gets less and less safe for trans girls, and I’ve generally felt lots of sorrow for how unsafe I feel in daily life; Thor, I think, embodies what trans people need right now, and wearing the Mjollnir makes me feel that he will protect me and my love.
You had some experience with Thor. I have a strong connection with him for years. I see him a lot and we have chats a lot. We are past being formal and are really casual with each other. I had a Mjolnir necklace. I wore it for years but I lost it about a year ago. Now today my new necklace came in. And I wear it. I still have a good bond with Thor and had a chat about it. He says it now brings my energy down. I am a little confused and sad. Like I used to wear his hammer for days on end no problem. But now I can't wear it for more then two minutes because I get exhausted and sore muscles. I don't know what to do...
Thank you I really enjoyed this.
I go running quite often and I always try to put in an extra lap in honour of Thunor, as we Anglo Saxon pagans know the deity as. In my head the extra lap is "Thunor's Lap".
I also like to think Thunor would have a great roaring belly laugh and, although quick to anger, would be quick to forgive too.
Thank you again.
I agree to both descriptions ☺️ I kind of feel like he’s quick to anger but other than that more like a cuddly bear kind of person? Don’t know how to describe that properly xD a big bulky very nice person
@@TheNorseWitch haha yes. A huge red haired bear - very protective and strong but also with a playful and generous side.
@@TheNorseWitch also, happy Woden's Day!
Yes exactly! 🥰
Thor has been very protective of me , and that I am greatly appreciated for, my experiences with him has been quite a journey but that's okay and I look forward to the adventure of life. But as always I love the videos and hope you have a good day bente!!!
Hallo Bente, jetzt muss ich doch nochmal kommentieren. Ich komme jetzt erst dazu, dein Video anzuschauen, denn mein Sohn ist heute sehr spät eingeschlafen. Danke, dass du all dein Wissen teilst. Odin ist sicherlich sehr stolz auf dich. Tatsächlich habe ich bisher in meinem ganzen Leben noch nie so leicht einen Zugang zu den nordischen Göttern und dazugehörigen Praktiken bekommen wie durch deine Videos. 🙂 Total cool. Vielen Dank und alles Gute. 🙂
Oh du glaubst gar nicht wie sehr mich das freut 🥹
I get super hungry when I'm.working with Thor like Thor is saying you need to eat get some meat on those bones. Typical dad thing to say.
I’ve managed to collect all of the parent deities who want me to start my hearthcult with them. I got Thor, Loki, and Frigg 😅
Hail Thor!
Oh my goodness this is funny. I started working out more frequently recently because I wanted to get stronger physically (restarted some martial arts training) I was just nudged by Loki that whatever I'm doing is making someone very happy then I was wondering: is the 'someone' Thor? And I chanced upon your video from Loki to learn about exercise being an offering. 😂
life works in very mysterious ways indeed!!! 😂😂😂
I don't work with Thor very much (most of my work is with Hel and Loki) but what I've found is he really loves meat snacks like Slim Jims and beef jerky, which I usually give as offerings to him alongside beer.
Wow i feel.pretty validated working out was one of the things i did with Thor which isnt something I usually do.
The tea is very important
This is real expirience... :) Now I respect Thor, I think he is cool
I know I'm a little late to this video. I want to make a special offering to Thor. I want to make a seax with either an oak handle or rams horn. Would that be a good offering?
Thank you.
Extra order of fries for Thor
Yeeees 🤣
I come from a long line of the working class and farmers.
Very interesting video.sorry I always think of thor in the marvel films..im ashamed of myself 🤔blessings from devon England 🤎🔨🔨
Nothing to be ashamed of ❤️
@@TheNorseWitch it did make him cool.🔨🤎
This may be a weird question but: if I wanted to dedicate something (like weight lifting and building strength) to a deity (like Thor) because it would help me to stick to it, but I don't currently worship or have a relationship with that deity, would that be seen as flippant or inappropriate?
(Actually if I have a relationship with any deity it would be Thor because ever since I was a kid, I have spoken to him during thunderstorms. But even so I'm not sure if it would be rude to a deity to dedicate something to them if you aren't going to do more or build a relationship with them further than that, at least for now.)
Your thoughts please?
Totally fine to dedicate it to him even if you haven’t had any contact with him before ☺️
Idk if you did something new with your makeup today or what but you look stunning!!!
Have you done a video on Hel? I seen one video someone said not to work with death Gods/Goddesses? I only ask because she stands out to me so much and I've been so hesitant.
Yes I have a video on her since I do work with her. And there’s nothing wrong with working with death gods/goddesses. Actually all the gods/goddesses I closely work with habe some association with death ☺️
Hi Bente, can't wait to dive into the video! I have an off topic question. I don't know if you have answered this question somewhere already. So my apologies if you did. I'm quite interested in your studio lights. 🙂 Can you tell me the name of the brand or product, so that I can research the ones, you've been using in your earlier videos? Blessed be. 🙂
Have you seen that series on Netflix called ragnarök it’s an awesome series especially the gods in it like odin, thor, Loki, the giants
Actually I watched a couple of episodes and really disliked it 🙊
@@TheNorseWitch I guess it’s because there’s a lot of misconceptions about Norse mythology especially Thor in that series
please do more daily videoss .
If you pay me so I can cancel my job, sure 😉
you should do Loki next!!
That was the plan 😏
Also does Thor have some sort of signup that someone could use to contact him
Hi Bente.I have many vision's in my sleep. Some people call them dream's. A couple of weeks ago I was in a room & some people in the vision said they were coming down. Then all of a sudden the vision went black & I could not see. I knew a creature was upon me. I did not know what it was but it was bigger than I. I could feel it's head against mine but it's mouth was down towards my chest like it bent it's head down kinda thing. In the vision I was thinking should I fight this creature. So in the vision I closed my eyes as it was over my eyes anyway. Then I concentrated & formed like a aura around the creature & got a picture of it in my mind. I could only describe it as a very large wolf that had its legs either side of my shoulders with its forehead next to my forehead & nozzle resting on my chest. I was not afraid during the vision as I have had thousands of vision's about everything that is possible & I am undefeated in all my vision's of battles. I don't know why I did not feel the need to fight the creature. It's like he was trying to tell me something. Do you think this is a sign or an acknowledgement of some kind.
I can’t tell you if it was a sign or some entity reaching out, you’re the only person who’ll know that. But I guess it could be, especially because you weren’t frightened. Maybe it was an animal spirit or maybe Fenrir?
@@TheNorseWitch I will have to read up on him. The creature did not bite me though. But I did get bit in a vision why I was sleeping the other night. There was a woman in a car next to water & the water was rising, I'm not sure if she was trapped & she was speaking a foreign language. Then I was in a very old mansion. I was talking to a man. Over the other side of the room I could see 5 or 6 maybe more people playing with what looked like a shadow & I think a skeleton. They all came over to me & the man I was talking to . Said something like I will show you.
Then he leaned around & bit the side of my neck , not for long,about 30 maybe 40 seconds. As he was doing it I thought this does not hurt at all & that I was much more powerful than he was . Then he pulled away & his mouth was very wide & looked grotesque to be honest. Then he said to me. You have now got what the Americans call infamous drift. Then he looked at the others that were there & said he looks very menacing. Referring to me. Then I left with a woman . But I'm very sure if the bite had hurt I would of probably destroyed him very easily because he seemed very weak in some ways that I can not explain. Because I have had visions when I'm sleeping that I have fought all kinds . Most of my visions are about women though . Even family & friends. I have had them all my life since I was child. Every night without fail.hundreds of them. They have become much clearer since I became a pagan & stop eating meat & I have been over 7 years sober now & not even tasted alcohol. I have had visions of every country , every nationality, religion & even things you would not believe or maybe you would.
Has Thor ever appeared like in front of you like when you see someone face to face kind of appearance
No unfortunately I‘m not clairvoyant so that never happens to me :/
@@TheNorseWitch I guess everyone has there own unique talents
What does UPG stand for?
Unverified personal gnosis ☺️ which basically means spiritual experiences you’ve made or spiritual viewpoints of yours that are neither shared by other people nor proven true by sources
can i ask what "upg" means (i think that's what you're saying?) 😬
Unverified personal gnosis I think is the acronym. It’s basically the code name for “here is an experience I have had that doesn’t directly come from something in the myths, or that others have had to my knowledge.” It can become verified if more than one person says “I’ve had that same experience!”
A good example in the context of Thor, is that multiple people in this comment section say that he likes jerky, like slim Jim, or other meat products
What are the abbreviations you're using? UPG & one other one.
UPG and VPG? Unverified Personal Gnosis and Verified Personal Gnosis ☺️☺️
I see Thor as a father figure for some reason must be cause of his protectiveness towards humanity. Or maybe it's the dad bod jokes. I find Thor likes a good dad joke
Thor says you look funny
Sure Jan
