The Wisdom of Odin is a vlog of my journey through Norse Paganism, a way to assist others along their journey, and a place to promote a positive image for all of paganism.
While I personally declare myself as a Norse Pagan, I speak on topics that also involve aspects of Asatru, Heathenry, and other pagan identities such as Slavic/Celtic/Germanic paganism.
The Wisdom of Odin is not associated or affiliated with any orginizations religious or politcial in nature. This channel/community is inclusive to all but is also non-political.
All gatherings held through the Wisdom of Odin and its extended community are private events held and organized by the members of the community. The only service the Wisdom of Odin provides is a place to connect with others of similar beliefs in the old ways.
I’m thrilled that you used my story about my encounter with Odin at the hospital. That was such a profound experience, and I will never forget it.
Thank you for sharing it with us!
Jacob! I think you should do god weeks on Njord and Týr, they're very under-appreciated deities that were once so revered in pre-christian Scandinavian society.
I've been following this channel since around the beginning of the pandemic. I've enjoyed your videos and learning what it means to be a Norse pagan. On Monday when I started watching the first video in this series I started crying. I couldn't understand why. All I knew is I felt so overwhelmed with emotions and the tears were really flowing. I was so confused for a moment and then it hit me. Odin. Odin was why I was crying. It doesn't seem like such a big deal, but I've been a firm atheist for around 15 years now. The last time I cried this hard over something was when I was deep into my christian faith in my early 20s. I started on my pagan path around 5 years ago and often found myself unable or willing to connect with any deity because of lingering trauma from being a christian. On Monday I felt Odin while watching your video. For the first time in a long time I felt connected to my spirituality like never before. I've spent this past week taking the time to watch your series on Odin and it's given me a lot to think on. So thank you for this series. I should also mention that I normally don't go talking about my spirituality in the comments of a RUclips video, but I felt like this was something I should share.
I get it…this series has been bringing me to tears too. Today I am on my couch which is fine, yesterday I was sitting at my daughters school in line to pick her up…tears turned to laughter as I realized some of the students were looking at me. lol Hail Woden!
This is very inspiring. We as pagans need to be able to see and hear and think in actual worship, actual words, strong ritual. Not complicated rituals, just strong rhetoric.
I've seen many people ask "what should I give this/that god?" It's exactly as you said, I've found that it's whatever is meaningful or of value to you, even just a favorite food, is a meaningful sacrifice to them!
P.S. I love 'video voice' Jacob lol & Odin likes a little pomp and circumstance now and then ;)
The passion and (good) aggression in the voice during the ritual, just goes to show how amazing and great it can be to be a part of. It's beautiful
Ive only had a very few times odin has come to me and its always been when im at my lowest and lost. My last visit. I was very depressed and lost and going thru some tough personal stuff and i was lost. I went outside and looked up and just started talking to Odin. I shared a beer with him. Its all i had at the time and i asked him to help guide me and to help me find myself and thru the trees i saw a beam of light in broad day light that was brighter than anything else and i instantly felt this calming feeling and a feeling that all will be ok in the end. I didnt see anything physical. I never have physically seen Odin but i am 100% sure that was odin saying fear not my son for i am here. I havent forgotten u and it gave me this sense of strength and i vowed to not let odin down and i will find my way back home and find myself again
As always excellent video. Love the gathering where all of you had nothing to drink during the offering because it was all given to the Gods. Priceless! I'm sure the Gods quite appreciated it. Thank you so much for sharing the experiences.
It so crazy sometimes, I made an offering to Odin., and asking him to help Guide me in doing a gathering & watching your videos just fell so right 🙏🙏thank you
I'm fairly new to the pagan faith by a few months after feeling a connection with magic, the gods, vikings and mythology most of my life. There is a path in the woods near a field that I take my children to. We had started traveling down it to see where it led once before but I felt this... almost fear after about 5 minutes to NOT take my children with me. It's been quite some time now since then and I'm currently home alone. My husband is at work, my children are at school. I'm cleaning the house feeling the need to open windows to let in natural light and fresh air even though I have AC's in each room. And as I listen to this video, that trail popped into my mind accompanied by the need to go. So I'm going to stop cleaning, even though I still need to fold laundry, mop the floor, clean a fan, wipe down a table and dust some electronics. I'm going.
Just got back. Was gone about an hour and a half in total. Felt amazing to reconnect to nature in a way I haven't in almost 15 years. Got some great pictures of nifty things I found along the way. Talked to Odin for the first time (I'm a Lokean). Didn't have a strong drink to offer him but I did have my water and thought, perhaps because he is a wanderer he might appreciate a drink to quench his thirst. Sat atop a bolder the land had reclaimed beside a single tree and gave my offering as I spoke a little. Felt pretty good. Felt Loki with me after I began walking again. He almost tripped me. (I know it was Loki as I hadn't tripped the whole time or any time after that on my whole outting. I grew up in the woods and know how to watch my foot placement.) All in all was a really amazing experience.
Thank you so much for your content!
I've been a pagan myself for a year, but I don't really have community of like-minded people around as I live in pretty small Christian country. I didn't really know how other people worship Odin, everything I was doing came from my heart. It feels so relieving to know that people around the globe do the same practices as you do. I also had this divine moments with trees and pour Allfather some drinks and serve my patron by gaining and sharing knowledge. It always felt a bit insane following some practices, but I feel really relieved and happy, that I am not alone in this world.
Ohh That Was Georgeus I Really Needed This Thank U So Much Jacob For Bringing Us These Wonderful Moments To Be Connected To The Old Gods…May The Gods Prottect You And Until Valhalla Skål❤️
I love this so much! I laughed so hard when you said “well it’s dead” (the tree). Also, I think if you hadn’t mentioned your loud voice or the dramatics I wouldn’t have even noticed. Your enthusiasm in those videos is contagious. Love it!!
Ps I just got called by Odin (at least I’m fairly sure) which I wasn’t expecting AT ALL! And your channel is one of the first I found. I love the info! Thank you!
I rush out the door to go for a walk when I hear rain and thunder. Calms me quite a bit.
I've experienced seeing Odin and felt his presence multiple time and especially when I'm asking him guidance and strength to perform certain task whatever it's physical or mental, he is there all the time and what's fascinating it's when sometime I think he abandoned me, he show up.
My first connection with the all father was made in nature since this day I promise my self to always serve him and live up to the all father. Love him and admire him.
I offered some wild venison patties and sausages to geri,freki, huginn and muninn once :) Offering knowledge is such a good idea! Cheers man
I've recently opened my eyes to norse paganism, to the Gods, and your videos have guided me greatly. My friends long ago, gifted me a runic bracelet, and to connect myself to the Gods I decided to begin wearing it. But every time I put it on, it would break, never in the same location. It felt like it was the gods telling me to let go of that past. To make new connections and to truly have a new connection with the Gods
I usually don't comment on videos. A couple years ago I quit organized religion. Not sure really what I believe but I love learning about past traditions and cultures. I love researching cultures from the first Nations, of which now is the USA, to Europe and around the Mediterranean. Basically the more primitive for better.
I was drawn to specific cultures but never knew why. Recently did the DNA test and found that I am English, Germanic, Scottish and Scandinavian. Always been drawn to nature and tribal culture.
Not sure why I said all that because mainly I just wanted to say that I've watched quite a few of your videos. I just realized today how much I was smiling watching this video. It made me happy and I just wanted to say thank you.
All hail Odin all hail the allfather of vallahall and keep up the great work brother you have my respect Jacob I am a very proud Norse pagan from Ireland skal brother
Man, even watching the video again I can still feel the power of that tree! After I watched your video for the first time I made my way to that park and found it myself. It was quite the experience; I was searching for it, then I round a corner and BAM, it's right there! It's such a wonderful spot to visit, and I'm sad that I can't visit it anymore now that I've moved out of state.
It's enjoyable to witness how far you have gone since your first video when you were a newbie pagan.
I found a staff on my walk to a big waterfall a few months back. Helped me cross a few streams and I left it in the same spot I found it, carrying on Odin's gift for the next wander
Hail Odin! He's getting a bronze statue and a mead horn on top of my bookshelf altar!
He first showed his presence when a bronze statue caught my eye, one of him speaking to to the ravens. I asked him for a sign. At the time when I was carrying a rune a day in dedication to learning them. When Oss came up I went to the barbershop that day and was in my chair getting a haircut. Everytime I said the word father, for 3 or more times during storytelling, the lights would go out for 2 seconds and come back. This was when the weather was good in late September. No wind, and no rain. That day when I went to my job the rune gave me a skull rushing ability to learn and observe not only my own words, but those of others. That's when I knew Odin was to be honored in my household! My warship includes lighting him a candle, and studying the mythology, sagas, and magicks so far, but he will be getting wine on Mondays as soon as I can afford his horn and statue.
Out of the blue but opinion on D&D and have you ever played it/ever want to play it? Also I LOVE your content and helped me find myself. So good on ya!
This is a great ending vid to your week of ødin. I love your "carrying umbrella but not using it " 😊😊😊
Love the rain too much to keep it off of me! Glad you enjoyed this series!
I recognize the theatrical use of voice like I used also in my start of path. Being more comforted with my travel I'm more tranquil in my voice. But it al has its value. No doubt about that
Great video man
As a non-pagan who likes to watch videos about paganism, I very much enjoyed the clips in this video. I don't think you should worry too much about doing exaggerated voices, especially if they come from a genuine place of passion. It might even be good to spice things up here and there with a little bit of theatricality.
Glad you enjoy these videos even if you don't practice the faith, means a lot!
Awesome Video thanks Jacob
Honestly, ever since I've begun this track of aspiring to Paganism, I've seen more and more pagans in the area. A work with a friend who is one, he proclaims Odin, and then I have people come by the restaurant and recognize Mjölnir, one even said he was a Pagan as well, and the best notice for me was this; I was hurrying by Lowe's for my boss, saw this old man, maybe 60s+, with a circular necklace and Mjölnir. And I didn't notice until after we already parted that he was wearing it, and I was excited to have seen him, although I sadly missed the chance to interact, because it showed that even in a religion that's a minority, there's still plenty of us, old and youthful, who can follow their heart and Hail what they believe. Especially Pagans.
I really have to say your videos on Odin are really saving my life because i actually never planned on honoring Odin or anything since i'm just a pretty young, green witch ^^°
But yea....a few days ago he suddenly appeared in my dreams and i woke up with the strong feeling that he was interested in me for some reason. I don't know why or what caused this but yea since then i started informing myself about him and you really helped me looking through all that mass of information. Really really helpful and i'm really grateful! :')
I'm really curious on where this worship will bring me but at the same time i'm a bit scared, i can't deny! :'33
enjoying your Odin series, i walk with him in his shamanistic/wandering aspect. i've often found that he very seldom comes to me (through blot), it's me that has to journey well to go to him. walking meditation, my (shield)drum and (hammer)rattle are mighty!
Hello The Wisdom of Odin, if i did post this before then please ingore but i wanted share this. I am a Draconic pagan but same time collective pagan, i do use the dragon or draconic energy. When i was doing meditation to search for my god and nothing until one day. It was like night time as i saw mountains and moonlight with clouds over the moon. I ask "who is my god" and about 2 minutes i heard "Odin!" as for me took a sign Odin as answered as to be my god since my primary is Tiamat. Even now to this day while watching i have a thing like i can listen and let my spirit wonder and Odin was there with my third eye, We chatted gave my wisdom to him and in general i felt like it was both Gandalf the grey and the white except one eye. I told him as to me when looking at Odin just feels he guide me and why i except him as to guide me to better myself in this life as much Tiamat with her guiding mother ways too just feels i am on the right path. There are some i still things i still keep with the All father since to me sometimes things are more sacred to keep it between me and Odin. I know this as for me if i know Odin is near then i feel his presents with some ravens if not and just random crows and ravens then i know it is nature telling me something. I hope we can talk to face to face sometime since i do live in the US and wanted share this.
I wish we had gatherings like this here, if you ever come to utah I would be ecstatic!!
I’ve had hardships not like Odin but I have definitely suffered from ptsd anxiety and depression that still doesn’t compare to Odin
Once again,thank you for these beautiful videos and for the Odin week, you do put a lot of work and passion in your creations and it makes them so powerful and easy to connect to. Odin week was such a wonderful journey, looking forward to many more.
Thanks brother! When did you came to Mexico? I would had love to meet you. Thanks for all the videos, can I send you on Patreon something? Or it has to be every month? Cause you helped me to expand my knowledge so hard! And I appreciate the time and effort you make.
Thanks! Hails!

I liked this video.
Although I had an Odin moment midvideo and he sent me to a bar. Good time! Just unexpected.
Odin is the god who I connected with the most, and there was one day were i was having a really tough day and it was becoming really dark in my mind. I held my hammer and said his name. No sooner then I said his name a raven flew up in front of me and landed on the building i was currently in. I knew there and then That Odin was with me!
Illinois? Sorry I've missed you. I've had very similar experiences here in Champaign Illinois
Greatings from Denmark 🇩🇰
I know that this may not be of that much interest to you but nevertheless…If you haven’t already tried this I would recommend you to do a Google Translate english/danish on Odin and push the loudspeaker button. It gives you a nordic pronunciation of the name Odin in both danish, swedish and norwegian. Those three languages are very similar…especially danish and norwegian. Most danish, swedish and norwegian people are able to understand each others native tongue. The reason for my suggestion to use the danish translation is that both Norway and Sweden historically has been under danish rule for a lengthy period of time just like England was for some time. The areas ruled by Denmark varies in size during the viking age. A well known danish king of England during this period who ruled all of England except from the area known as Wessex was king Canute or rather king Knud as his danish name is who was born around 995 and died november 12’th 1035.
Come to Tampa brother... I've made some bad ass Mead!
Not a pagan myself (just interested and hoping to learn more) but I couldn't help but to notice that the tree which the staff was resting upon has what looks to be one open eye and one closed eye, as well as a beard (27:46).
What's odd for me, personally, is how Odin sacrificed his left eye for wisdom and I close my left eye whenever I read and write as I have Duane's Syndrome (left eye muscle is tighter than the right, pretty mild and has been getting better over the years). Probably reaching, but definitely found it interesting.
Before my fieance went into the hospital I was standing outside with her waiting for the ambulance to pick her up. Two things happened three or four crows flew over head and I went wow a flock of crows. Then after that a passing thunder storm came and it poured rain as they loaded her in the ambulance. I felt it was a sign from odin and thor
Great ending to your journy to germany, treasure all that you have learned there and enjoy the trip back to kentucky. P.S Sometimes I miss your strange voices and screaming to Odin😊 Untill the hall, Skall.
Is it possible to join you at a gathering me and my wife are Norse pagan and are looking to go to a gathering but can't find anything near us
Any advice for a 16 year old whose parents support them, but doesn’t understand this type of stuff
I found your channel like 2 days ago and the strange thing is I started hand makin walkin sticks that same day and now watchin this video today feels Strange I'm Makin them a d your talkin bout them
What would you ask if you had the opportunity for a wonderer to hear your heart?
Any plans on doing a Frigg week or Sif week?
The levels on your audio are way low.
Coincidences you say?...i mean how else are they gonna reach us...many of us have become numb and deaf to them..its as if they are saying "look! I'm right here!"
I wish a could find other pagans in el paso texas!!!!!
It's hard to find anyone , anywhere because we're in hiding still til this day. Our country is founded on Christianity. Even though it was for freedom of religion, still its Christian based. And society will still burn you at the stake when found out. Lost so many people in my life over religion, Christians cant handle those who are stronger than them, i guess.
Are you making the Dayton Pagan Pride festival?
facebook.com/DaytonPaganPrideDay/ For those curious.
i know this is an odin video but has anyone seeing Hel/Hella as a sign that bad was gonna happen or as a warning im just curious if its just me or if anyone else gets it too
Loki is the allfather, you didn’t win budda. We just moved(vanir)
Odin is still a gnostic tool in a good way.
It folk vanger I want to go to, not Valhalla
I’m African American can I become a Norse pagan?
Yeah, Odin doesn't give a shit about skin color.
Your origins or skin color dont matter, if you feel drawn to the gods then pursue a connection with them!
Odin, The Allfather, breathed life into mortals. All men and women across midgard. Why should your heritage matter. Find your own path and follow it. If you think that path leads towards the norse gods, venture down it. I hope you find great wonders in your search for wisdom, knowledge, and experience alongside the gods and the folk brother. Skäl.
Cringe AF, but i like it xd
odin mid fenrir better
