Early on...almost 2 years ago...when I approached you asking questions about the gods, you gave me the exact advice you gave in this video, and it was life changing. Thank you! ...and bawhahahahaha on the happy tourists who jumped in the video :)
I too have learned so soo much about this beautiful faith from Jacob as well. Not just life changing but also perspective changing just from the knowledge. Jacob if u do happen to see this. I wanna thank u. Ur knowledge helped me to reconnect with the gods and find myself again. I wish i could thank u in person but this will have to do. Until the hall brother and sister
@@TheWisdomOfOdin 1:35 hello mate I’m from wales I have no friends I feel I don’t belong after I came back from the the we I have been draw to Norway and the gods I see Then Sounds crazy I know but it’s the truth I have crows a ravens and hawks and dreams help me
You 100% nailed it! Great advice! You cannot connect to the Gods on a smart phone, notebook, laptop, etc. The Shamans of old coveted solidarity. You cannot find out who you truly are around other people. You must go where the Gods are. Great video, Jacob!
I’m a teenager, with (thankfully) a not religious family, and I had no pressure to follow their lead on religion. Looking back I’m sure I’ve had encounters with the gods, and I’m finally at peace with that. However I’m so new to religion that I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. These videos are helping me a lot with deciphering this lovely path of life.
i felt Odin come to me in a dream he didnt direclty speak to me but i could feel his presence and what he was telling me. he told me to honor him by wearing something around my neck. I got a Gungnir pendant a couple days after and ever since i started wearing it, i can feel his presance with me all the time. hes given me so much strength and clarity.
Often we get too distracted, I agree. The wights and Weyland speak clearer when I'm sweating in the forge than when I'm doing anything else, to me. Helps that I live in the sticks though. But sometimes, that success or failure forging is just my learning or lack of skill, and not a God or Goddess
I know it's a christian concept that God speaks and works through people, but I feel the same has happened here with the Norse gods through you, reaching out to me. I can't say it's any particular or specific god, so I just feel like it's a collective. I needed to hear what you said in this video and it was my sign from the gods. Thanks for all the work you do.
Odin is my favorite one to work with. However Loki strongly claimed me when I first got into Norse paganism. Later though I also found out I have strong connections to Odin as well and they were literally fighting over me. When I'm not working with one I feel like the other almost acts as my Jungian shadow since in my gnosis they are each others mirrors.
I honestly thought I was listening to a native speaker when you introduced yourself no joke! lol Anyway dude you really do put out some quality content and I look forward to watching your future videos. Wotan mit uns.
you said Thor and I had something I wanted to share with you some days ago I say a great eye and a curve horn in the sky I felt something special and just wanted to share that moment with you thanks for taking the time to read this skal my friends
This was a very informative video, I myself look for my path with Tyr, I am former military and have always been a fighter and with Tyr being the Norse god of war, I connect very well with him
Your enthusiasm is quite addictive. I really enjoy the videos you shoot here in Germany. Not only because I'm German, but because you improvise and keep little things like the ambulance or the lady who guided the other tourists in. Btw, the way you counted the time between the siren signals cracked me up! Your introduction in German was really good and you showed that there isn't really a word for Norse Pagan in German. It's hard to explain to my friends what I'm studying (not yet really there too actually call me a Norse pagan) without dancing aground the matter. Mostly, I call it Germanic religion or belief. The advice you have is spot on. I've had some moments where I wondered if that was a good that spoke to me or maybe one of the land sprites. I didn't bother so much with finding that one out ( like I said, not there yet), but have thanks to whoever it was for the experience. To let the Besserwisser (almost every nation seems to know this German word - I wonder why) get the best of me. The "Valkyrie" is an angel of peace, Friedensengel. It's there to remember the end of the German-French war, I believe. Have you been to Haitabu the last time you were here? If not, you should stop there. It's nice, even if it has become a little too fancy and tourist-y over the past years. Schleswig is a really cute city too. The whole are speaks to me and you can almost still see the longboats roll in. Sorry for the long and random comment. Basically, I just wanted to say thanks.
Big thing I do is working with myself, doing my own thing, working on me and practicing the practice! Then if I want to reach out on a specific day or at a specific time it makes the space just for us. Organizes the time a little better than just always pestering (I've found that they don't really mind, but I do lol), get questions together or just be open. You can also not reply to a pull in a direction, the choice is ultimately yours. Best of luck y'all! + get off the damn phone for a couple of hours is solid advice
Thiiis is the vibe I need in my life and I’m so ready to dive down ur rabbit hole!! Thank you for having the courage and confidence to share yourself so well with us brother!!
Disconnecting from the modern world and meditation is Key. You should be versed enough in your craft to hear the call of the God and Goddess. If I have a question, I’ll ask for a sign, and I’ll receive an answer from the right Deities. And yes I’ve personally had a Raven appear over my vehicle and stay with me for a while. Question was answered and sign confirmed and I won my Lawsuit the next Day.
Mine came from an accident at work. I had my forearm pinned in a machine, luckily it didn't break. As a volunteer EMT, I've seen my share of accidents like that and worse. Suffice it to say, I was fortunate and it felt like I got a free pass on the ordeal - I still have full use of said arm. I can only attribute that protection to Thor.
this is helpful!! I often hesitate as I am unsure and look for a more concrete answer. . . learning to trust your intuition is one of the toughest things to do when looking into the realm of spirit
I dont feel like i have many experiences, but i recently had a very vivid dream with loki, introduced himself as such and the others in my dream confirmed it. That dream and being out on a nature trail feeling full of life are the two that come to mind, and i cant wait to experience vivid experiences again
I remember a while back, I had gotten sensations when the still air suddenly blew passed me but I hadn't known how to put it to words. At some point after this happened on multiple days, I spoke out in a sense of prayer from the heart and mind. Asking for whatever or whomever was causing such a sense "politely" to do so again. Each time I did this, the air went from still or gentle breezes to an abrupt burst of wind that came and calmed moments later around me. But it truly felt like there was something or someone there trying to speak to me. Unfortunately I also come from a very pressurized, Christian, monotheistic household so my explaining this experiences to family was met with "It's just the weather." So honestly to this day I'm not sure who might've been trying to reach out to me. I am still new to Norse Paganism, but I chose to move in the direction of it as I felt a pull to such more so than the other pantheons. I just wish I knew who it was so I might try to reach out to them now that I have more religious freedom. :(
For the middle part of my teenage years, I went through waves of longing. Intense nostalgia for a landscape, a lifestyle, a culture that I felt was long gone and mostly forgotten. It was Norse and Celtic energies. I could feel it in my DNA. It was simultaneously beautiful and painful. Comforting and sad. I wanted to go to a place that felt like home. The only thing I could do was listen to certain types of music: Agalloch, Gallowbraid, Caladan Brood, Summoning, Vali, Empyrium, Osi and the Jupiter, music that is for the most part very modern, yet somehow it was the closest thing to what I was feeling. The only thing I had in the external world that gave me some sense of relief. That feeling would come in waves. It could linger all day. It could be just a couple minutes of intense feeling. Enough time to feel like a past life memory was surfacing, but I would immediately try to focus in on it and actually remember, and then the feeling would disappear. This pattern happened not only with these places and times, but also other things: midwestern/southern American culture a hundred years ago. The Victorian era in England. Some kind of underground technological dystopia (this was as strong as the Norse/Celtic one, and I could only scratch the itch with certain types of music, for example Ministry's album Filth Pig, and the band Ice Ages, side project of band Summoning). There's probably more I'm not remembering. Because of this, I have always believed this phenomenon to be a resonance with past lives that are strongly connected with this one. The Norse thing came first. It happened out of nowhere. I woke up one morning at age 14 with a sudden interest I had never had before. I had no interest in studying the Norse gods. I didn't care to study their history. I felt like it wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for a memory and I was looking for the true history, not the watered down bits and pieces we have left. I'm starting to open up to the idea of working with the ancient gods. It still doesn't really make sense to me how all that works, but I want to learn what it's all about and what the process is like. Could my experience be interpreted as a calling from the old gods? Did they initiate this whole memory process? Is it possible that working with them in my past lives left soul contracts for them to show up and guide me through the darkness I was dealing with? Something has guided me. That could be my higher self and my spirit guides, but who are spirit guides? Why did I have a vision in a dream at 18 in which I was visited by a very special crow that sat on my arm in the most beautiful path through a forest in autumn, summer, and spring simultaneously, giving me a taste of the heavenly perfection that our planet is capable of to carry me through the threat of hopelessness? Was it just the energy of what crows represent or a visit from a god?
Danke meine bruder and that's the extent of my german for today. Absolutely love the sites and the beauty of Germany! Thanks for the video and for always teaching those willing to learn and sharing that wisdom so we can grow and expand our spiritual toolbox and knowledge. You hit the nail on the head with "those of us coming from christian backgrounds" comment yes we do often overdo it especially at first when you begin the pagan path. Have a great time in Europe and may you get back safely.
Odin uses Ravens as messengers. When i see a Raven I don’t think that Raven is literally Odin. I see it more as Odin is staying informed on my life and my path. Doesn’t mean Odin is literally next to me because i see A LOT of ravens, so that would be a lot of time just watching me drive/ walk around It’s more of Odin is with me as in staying informed on my life. Sometimes when I’m in a ruff spot and need reminder of my faith in the Gods i will ask Odin to send me a Raven and within an hour I’ll see one. I would never expect Odin himself to come see me, but to just send a message to a Raven to give me a fly by to reinforce my faith isn’t a great burden to ask for. So i do feel that Odin is with me when i see a raven.
Maybe I can get some insight here. My daughter at age 10 was in a scary situation. She told me someone came to her lying in the bed and laid with her and rubbed her back and told her everything was going to be ok, he was proud of her, she was super strong and going to do great things. Your mom and dad love you very much and He really meant it. She preceded to say “you know how people tell you things just to make you feel better? I could tell he really meant it. “ She said “I was able to see what you were doing and he said you think about me all the time. She also said . He isn’t brown or white he is like ----. Which is a biracial bff she had at the time. I ask her “so are you ok now and can I stop worrying about you at -----? ( she was at a school where she had to stay overnight for a short period of time.) She said yes I am fine. She also told me he was wearing white and he had something like a sword. My daughter always had a great imagination, so I did believe her but obviously coming from a 10 year old questioned it somewhat. Well my mother passed away when she was 18 and they were very close. She struggled to go to my moms house for several months and one day she said out of no where she was just led to go visit her papa. It was not strange and she felt comfortable with my mom not there. She said “I don’t cry over MiMi anymore. She said bc I can feel her. She went on to describe the feeling. It wasn’t visual, but like sitting beside her in the car for example. So at 18 I ask her. Remember when you were at school? I know how you have always been very imaginative. Do you remember what you told me? She immediately said yes! How do you ever forget something like that? I’m not familiar with any of this, but I am starting to study it a little more. I hope I explained everything well. She can’t be around a lot of negative energy bc she picks up on it and causes her anxiety. Does anyone have any insight? She has had 2 close calls with death. Once at age 2 (cancer and tumor ruptured and was bleeding out internally). At age 5 another experience, but not as severe to my knowledge, but again required immediate surgery with not 100% sure of the outcome. She is a very typical 21 year old, but even she feels something is different. She once ask if she could talk to someone to figure out what it is. 🤷♀️ She is definitely a strong strong individual/ warrior (in our eyes). She has been through so much and has always had to work extremely hard at what seemed to come easy to her peers. Now at age 21 she does struggle more with confidence in her abilities. So capable of much more than she sees.
I couldn't agree more with these words! I joined the faith a little over a year ago and since then some of my friends and family have come to me to ask similar questions and had almost the same answer. I've always said if you think it's this deity then sit down and ask them. That's what I had done when I had my first experience too!
Hello, I left an important comment under your video -The Norns: The Carvers of fate- 6 months ago :0) I believe you didn't see it. This new video that you posted on the 25th of May just popped out today so I felt like dropping a line. By the way, I am in labor now, since Friday actually. So my baby will be born very soon -perhaps with the new moon and no further than the 6th of June, I feel. I know that the Norns will be here.
I just found your Channel yesterday, and it's the first time I've really found some direction, I've just started in studying Norse paganism, and I stumbled quite a bit trying to figure out which direction to go in thank you to you and the gods for your help in finding direction
Thankfully i am nine days today sober from aloachal and two half months clean from hevey drugs all hail lord Odin and all hail lord Thor all hail the Norse gods of Valhalla skal i am only getting back into this great religion i am a really proud Norse pagan i hope lord Thor and lord Odin bless and keep yous all safe
3 years ago I believe the God's reached out to show things were going to be okay. My mother was told she had stage 3 lung cancer. I prayed for a sign to show me it will be okay. The next day 32 crows appeared in two trees outside my parents kitchen window. I believe that was when I solidified my faith in the gods. My mom has been cancer free since and her lungs have cleared to where it was like she never had cancer.
A few months ago I was walking to a dentist appointment and the day before I just had research the goddess hel and when I was on that walk I saw 2 dead animals in a row I really felt close to her
I was riding my Harley down the highway. Loud pipes, engine at 75 and wind. All of sudden it went quiet. I chatted with a classmate. She asked her pastor of her church. He replied “it was someone in my past that is no longer living trying to contact me”. Even when I was plowing a field I seen a Raven or crow in my field just watching me. I asked a friend and he mention it could be Huggin or Muggin doing Odin’s work
I've had thor coming to me in a dream and he said nothing to me but looking at him was exactly how they described him in norse mythology a big brute and then he took me to a massive table filled with all my family members enjoying a huge feast then outta nowhere Thor pulled me at my arm and gave me a replica of mjolnir and then showed me a huge battle happening on earth and he send me down with a fraction of his power and I accomplished a huge victory. I wonder to this day what Thor tried to tell me.
I find this video pretty darn useful and I'll try to apply them to any future chance there may be a god connecting if they do. Also, now that we're talking about this topic, let me flip it. I'm planning a trip soon so, how is the god I should try to connect and make an offering to for safe travels?
My spirit walk. I went homeless. I had that spiritual experience as I had to survive without the help of modern convenience. I had to dig for those basic skills and became closer with the old ways. Which made me thirst for the knowledge when I came back into contact with things like the internet. I traced my family name to the Netherlands and ultimately to Norway. Now I'm thirsting for knowledge of our original gods.
I wouldn't say I've had contact per se but I've made a few offerings to Tyr and since I started things have been looking up for me. I've gotten to participate in one of a kind things, an assignment to a base I've been wanting, I'm getting put up for prestigious awards. It's pretty crazy like nothing I've experienced when I was a Christian.
If you can build an actual fire in an outdoor setting and see the embers its thoroughly entrancing. Also the smell of wood smoke and crackle of wood burning really help with the process i find. I know some people cannot fo that based on where they live but if you can it really helps with grounding you.
Trust me, if it is Odin wants your attention for some reason, he will get it. He tends to come through loud and clear. Even when you wish he wouldn't. When he wants your attention it is usually not with a gentle nudge. At least in my experience it hasn't been for the last 68 years. You kind of get used to it.
Sometimes I have felt the presence of an entity I cannot name. I have learned that only a small portion of our beliefs have survived and I've wonder if a deity we have no information on has been helping to guide me. (Might sound dumb 🥴)
Doesn't sound dumb at all. Some gods/goddesses and nature spirits we dont have a lot of info on nor may we have encountered them before. Research sometimes helps identify them
Absolutely great advice. Everything you had said including the dry spells should be documented. Sometimes we forget to give offerings because of how busy we are. Maybe the Gods in their way are saying stop and smell the roses. This video is much needed to all of us. And as for the ants...I don't want to blame Loki, but maybe he's trying to get your attention. Hel got my attention by having a dead rose in my walking path next to a cemetery. Just sayin🤔 Thanks again for an amazing video ❤
I’d love to have a talk with you about the Gods sometime. Your channel inspired me to create my own to share my journey with the Norse Gods. I just had my spiritual awakening this week. My channel is an open space for all Pagans regardless their beliefs and it chronicles my journey with Odin and the Gods & Goddesses @TheWisdomOfOdin
This was cool to hear. For me I think the three most prominent gods in my life are Odin, Thor and Tyr. Odin because the quest for knowledge and wisdom is one I share, as well as a deep desire to know the end of the world. Thor and Tyr because I see their qualities in my own brothers. A strong, brave, loud, and joyful man and a courageous, noble and just man
I have strong connections with Thor. First big connection was in my younging days sitting on the windowsill watching the sky just crisscrossed with lightning. But the latest was when i asked Thor to show me his strength and power just to have a sudden strong thunderstorm appear out of nowhere and it increasing in strength the happier i got. Thats when i figured that yeah, i think i may have Thor as a patron. I do have a pull towards snakes in general and have had weird connections with them, along with really weird dreams of Loki(one was of me being randomly in a Swedish forest with my sister for some reason and i was showing her this stone altar i had set up when a snake slithered onto my hand which turned into Loki).. so i suspect Loki might be reaching out too.
I sat outside at night n a light came on 4 times to my right which is set off by movement but no one was there! Not even a moth. So I said, if you're a god how do I know who you are. Then after 5 mins, the light on my left came on n again nothing moved to set it off? Loki????
I don't think crows are associated with Odin. I see crows all the time, but ravens on the other hand, I don't recall ever seeing a raven prior to becoming a polytheist. I can understand mixing the two type of birds up with each other, but it's important to learn how to tell a raven from a crow if you want to notice signs from Odin. Ravens are generally larger, with longer tail feathers and a thicker beak.
Ravens are extremely uncommon where i live. I see crows all tge time here but on that note occasionally i get a gut feeling and a tickle up the spine occasionally when i see them at certain encounters especially at work (i work with plants in an outdoor nursery so my job is to care for them and try to find them a good home. Its also a place of INFINITE wisdom and im always searching for it there doing something i thoroughly enjoy) I acknowledge Odínn as i feel him around. Brings a smile to my face and gives me peace even on bad days.
I also think the confusion comes from mostly Midwestern pagans. Here, ravens are virtually non-existant, and the closest thing we have are crows. Much of it has to do with the flat, grassy terrain, which ravens tend to avoid but crows love.
@@ladygrey7425 i live in central NY along the hudson river. We dont ever get Ravens. Red tail hawks and in the very rare case an eagle And lots of crows but never seen a Raven here.
Great video. Thank you. Do you have any advice for those of us that are called or drawn toward deities that are sometimes opposed to the Aesir and Vanir - gods like Fenrir, Hel, and Jormungandr? I know myself and several others have been strongly drawn toward Fenrir, and we get lots of eye-rolls and foul words from other, more mainstream Norse Pagans. Rökkatru seems like the term for us, but I'm looking for fellowship, not prejudice from my fellow Pagans - and I truly don't feel like I chose Fenrir. I fully believe he chose me. I'd like to know what you think. Thanks again.
First and foremost I would never do that to you. This faith has many branches and any of the Gods will get your attention. If someone who claims they are a pagan and treats you with disdain, truly does not have the spirit of this faith. I, myself, do not follow any given family of the Gods. I'm drawn to water and forest and find that I have a relationship more with Njord, Freyja and Sigyn of the Vanir. But, Hel has been coming to me so to speak in the side door and I welcome her. If we ever met, rest assure that I would treat you with upmost respect, sit down with drinks of choice and talk about experiences. Stay true to your convictions. The Gods are with you. 😊
I had a strange experience for months, I was taking boxing hours and one day,on a Training there was a man, for me was he old I was 17, grey hair,long beard lomg clothes and with a hat. I came up from the door to change my clothes he was also on that training and as I changed my clothes he spoke to me, he was so wise, I thinked on Odin all the time, maybe the the grey haired men was just a man, who wanted to take a few ours in boxing but I feelt there something I looked at him I just have seen Odin in him, I had a strange but a good experience that day, and still when I'm thinking on that man, I'm asking myself.. was that Odin?
9:00 RUclips Shorts is another one. It's real easy to scroll for a long time. Getting distracted by our electronics is not good for society as a whole.
A enormous flock of ravens were cawing and circling (swooping) around my ex-husbands house. Ive been taking my things from my old place... I took it as Odin warning me and didn't go into the home. My ex has had erratic behavior and I do believe Odins presence was there as a warning. I'm learning to listen to the God's, be Mindful and present.
I am a new Nordic pagan… which honestly I feel as if I don’t even deserve to be called that, but I was originally a Christian. I believe that the gods, though I may not know who exactly I worship, are definitely real in the world. What initially drew me to Nordic paganism is the connection to nature. Is there any advice for possibly finding a community of people who believe the same? One other question, what if you haven’t had a sign shown to you.
I recently became norse pagan and just two days ago I saw two ravens since becoming norse pagan and I'm pretty sure I connected with Odin I also read that he's also the God of poets and just yesterday I wrote a poem could that be Odins way of possibly reaching out since I connected with him?
Might be a bit of a silly question, and you may have touched base on it in another video that I’ve missed, I heard that the Nors refer to the Greek God Saturn when saying Saturday. How are the Greek and Norse Gods connected?
I woke up one morning just thinking bout odin. Then I was in a rh neg fb group and said nothing bout norse and someone said I'm a daughter of odin. Now isn't that weird?
Have an honest question because I seen your videos of offerings, connecting to the Old gods, building a relationship with them. And I’m wondering if it’s commonplace to have experiences, present offerings, and having a relationship with Loki? I’ve heard a lot of having them with other Gods and Goddesses, and yet to have seen anyone “so far” mentioning if they had one of Loki. Would it be seen as odd even for others of Norse paganism? I’m not entirely sure which is why I ask. I apologize if it might seem like a silly question.
Stars are dope 🤷🏼♂️ 😂 In all seriousness I feel that stars are a way we connect with the ancestors. The stars that we see now are, for the most part, the same stars they saw.
What do you do if the first "explosive moment" you experience happens to be the shape of Fenrir forming in the clouds of the nighttime sky, looking directly down at you?
I need to ask something that's bugging me. Please bear with me. My very 1st Deity connection wasn't Norse, it was to Apollo. (I was 15 yrs old) I know it was him because I asked for a sign & the sky changed colour to PINK. Since my 20s though I've considered myself a Norse Pagan (I'm now 47) & mostly drawn to Baldr, but these last few months I've felt 2 influences strongly; Odin (I don't know why & not Baldr), & Apollo again. So I have 2 questions, 1st, what advice do you have if non-Norse deities want to work with me? How do I square that with my Norse patrons? 2nd, how would I know if Baldr was actually trying to contact me? What signs can I look for? Thanks, I do feel quite muddled on this.
By your definitions of reality, we are all just meat sacks, and water, held together by flesh walls. I don't think anything survives your dismal look on the universe 😆
Cool how you speak the words fre dens Engel. It sounds to my mother language (Dutch) as vredensengel. It means angel of peace. Vrede is peace ande engel is angel in Dutch.
@@Nils_Ironwolf Oh boy, I'm trying to do research but it's getting overwhelming. I'm 22 and have had signs show to me the past couple years, but just now acknowledging them. Few months ago I had a demon or some higher power try to possess me. Cold room, shakes, etc. I've lost 6 loved ones in the last 6 years, and most them have given me signs of either reincarnation or by symbols. I started a new job 6 months ago, and one my coworkers has a Valknut decal on his car. I think that was definitely a sign from my dad, as he was huge into Norse/Vikings. Again, I'm not well versed in this stuff. Willing to learn, but I'm slow 😅
I have a question ? First I love your RUclips page and your videos are knowledgeable. My question is this I am person of color who has worked with Odin and Freya . Is wrong of me to work with Norse gods having only a little European blood? Thank you for your videos again.
No it isn't at all. You can be any race and still worship our gods, in the end they will always be White Gods so to speak, but no matter what blood you are ANYONE can worship them
My friend you are 100% correct trust your self when it comes to this faith this religion and yes fuck the phone 😂 and go out side and see what the god do once again my friend amazing video love it and keep it up ❤️🔥🛡️⚔️🤘🏼🍻 oooooo and yes write it down that helps like a son bitch okay I'm done 😂😂
bro come live it then ill ask you what being norse is im old but to experience screaming against the wind agaain id give my last breath for that born dead born north

Glad my advice has stayed consistent throughout the years!
I too have learned so soo much about this beautiful faith from Jacob as well. Not just life changing but also perspective changing just from the knowledge. Jacob if u do happen to see this.

You 100% nailed it! Great advice! You cannot connect to the Gods on a smart phone, notebook, laptop, etc.
The Shamans of old coveted solidarity. You cannot find out who you truly are around other people. You must go where the Gods are.
Great video, Jacob!
Um wat if I use my phone to listen to wardruna
I’m a teenager, with (thankfully) a not religious family, and I had no pressure to follow their lead on religion. Looking back I’m sure I’ve had encounters with the gods, and I’m finally at peace with that. However I’m so new to religion that I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. These videos are helping me a lot with deciphering this lovely path of life.
i felt Odin come to me in a dream he didnt direclty speak to me but i could feel his presence and what he was telling me. he told me to honor him by wearing something around my neck.

Often we get too distracted, I agree. The wights and Weyland speak clearer when I'm sweating in the forge than when I'm doing anything else, to me. Helps that I live in the sticks though. But sometimes, that success or failure forging is just my learning or lack of skill, and not a God or Goddess
I've watched every video and heard almost every podcast! And I give a like on every video.
That means a lot, thank you!
AWESOME Video thanks Jacob 👍

Has my first odin experience a week ago very surreal and very honoured
Odin is my favorite one to work with. However Loki strongly claimed me when I first got into Norse paganism. Later though I also found out I have strong connections to Odin as well and they were literally fighting over me. When I'm not working with one I feel like the other almost acts as my Jungian shadow since in my gnosis they are each others mirrors.
I honestly thought I was listening to a native speaker when you introduced yourself no joke! lol Anyway dude you really do put out some quality content and I look forward to watching your future videos. Wotan mit uns.
you said Thor and I had something I wanted to share with you some days ago I say a great eye and a curve horn in the sky I felt something special and just wanted to share that moment with you thanks for taking the time to read this skal my friends
Thank you for sharing
@@mz.6109 no problem also it blinked at me also
You are doing great work brother I am a really proud Norse pagan from Dublin Ireland all hail the Norse gods skal peace brother
This was a very informative video, I myself look for my path with Tyr, I am former military and have always been a fighter and with Tyr being the Norse god of war, I connect very well with him
This was really helpful, I've only just started the path, but WHEW, what a ride it's been these few short months!
Your enthusiasm is quite addictive. I really enjoy the videos you shoot here in Germany. Not only because I'm German, but because you improvise and keep little things like the ambulance or the lady who guided the other tourists in. Btw, the way you counted the time between the siren signals cracked me up!
Your introduction in German was really good and you showed that there isn't really a word for Norse Pagan in German. It's hard to explain to my friends what I'm studying (not yet really there too actually call me a Norse pagan) without dancing aground the matter. Mostly, I call it Germanic religion or belief.
The advice you have is spot on. I've had some moments where I wondered if that was a good that spoke to me or maybe one of the land sprites. I didn't bother so much with finding that one out ( like I said, not there yet), but have thanks to whoever it was for the experience.
To let the Besserwisser (almost every nation seems to know this German word - I wonder why) get the best of me. The "Valkyrie" is an angel of peace, Friedensengel. It's there to remember the end of the German-French war, I believe.
Have you been to Haitabu the last time you were here? If not, you should stop there. It's nice, even if it has become a little too fancy and tourist-y over the past years. Schleswig is a really cute city too. The whole are speaks to me and you can almost still see the longboats roll in.
Sorry for the long and random comment. Basically, I just wanted to say thanks.
I am very happy you enjoyed this video! And I actually plan on going to Haitabu and Denmark later this month!
@@TheWisdomOfOdin do you worship Loki as well?
.
I love how on que you are with the alarms 😅😅 again thank you for your time, research, and knowledge brother! Skal!
I honestly surprised myself, I hear them all the time here 😂
@@TheWisdomOfOdin you're always right on que...it's that unforeseen wisdom brother! Skal!
Big thing I do is working with myself, doing my own thing, working on me and practicing the practice! Then if I want to reach out on a specific day or at a specific time it makes the space just for us. Organizes the time a little better than just always pestering (I've found that they don't really mind, but I do lol), get questions together or just be open. You can also not reply to a pull in a direction, the choice is ultimately yours. Best of luck y'all! + get off the damn phone for a couple of hours is solid advice
Thiiis is the vibe I need in my life and I’m so ready to dive down ur rabbit hole!! Thank you for having the courage and confidence to share yourself so well with us brother!!
Disconnecting from the modern world and meditation is Key. You should be versed enough in your craft to hear the call of the God and Goddess. If I have a question, I’ll ask for a sign, and I’ll receive an answer from the right Deities. And yes I’ve personally had a Raven appear over my vehicle and stay with me for a while. Question was answered and sign confirmed and I won my Lawsuit the next Day.
I made it to the end ☺️. Another great video! Curse those ants!

I got promoted from the 99% club, to the 40% club, quite an upgrade haha 🍻 cheers mate .
Mine came from an accident at work. I had my forearm pinned in a machine, luckily it didn't break. As a volunteer EMT, I've seen my share of accidents like that and worse. Suffice it to say, I was fortunate and it felt like I got a free pass on the ordeal - I still have full use of said arm. I can only attribute that protection to Thor.
this is helpful!! I often hesitate as I am unsure and look for a more concrete answer. . . learning to trust your intuition is one of the toughest things to do when looking into the realm of spirit
I was needing this video. Thank you for your great tips!
I dont feel like i have many experiences, but i recently had a very vivid dream with loki, introduced himself as such and the others in my dream confirmed it. That dream and being out on a nature trail feeling full of life are the two that come to mind, and i cant wait to experience vivid experiences again
Thank you! I am more a nature worshipper than a god worshipper but I find your advice and testimony so helpful. Vielen dank!
I remember a while back, I had gotten sensations when the still air suddenly blew passed me but I hadn't known how to put it to words. At some point after this happened on multiple days, I spoke out in a sense of prayer from the heart and mind. Asking for whatever or whomever was causing such a sense "politely" to do so again. Each time I did this, the air went from still or gentle breezes to an abrupt burst of wind that came and calmed moments later around me. But it truly felt like there was something or someone there trying to speak to me.
Unfortunately I also come from a very pressurized, Christian, monotheistic household so my explaining this experiences to family was met with "It's just the weather." So honestly to this day I'm not sure who might've been trying to reach out to me. I am still new to Norse Paganism, but I chose to move in the direction of it as I felt a pull to such more so than the other pantheons.
I just wish I knew who it was so I might try to reach out to them now that I have more religious freedom. :(
For the middle part of my teenage years, I went through waves of longing. Intense nostalgia for a landscape, a lifestyle, a culture that I felt was long gone and mostly forgotten. It was Norse and Celtic energies. I could feel it in my DNA. It was simultaneously beautiful and painful. Comforting and sad. I wanted to go to a place that felt like home.
The only thing I could do was listen to certain types of music: Agalloch, Gallowbraid, Caladan Brood, Summoning, Vali, Empyrium, Osi and the Jupiter, music that is for the most part very modern, yet somehow it was the closest thing to what I was feeling. The only thing I had in the external world that gave me some sense of relief.
That feeling would come in waves. It could linger all day. It could be just a couple minutes of intense feeling. Enough time to feel like a past life memory was surfacing, but I would immediately try to focus in on it and actually remember, and then the feeling would disappear.
This pattern happened not only with these places and times, but also other things: midwestern/southern American culture a hundred years ago. The Victorian era in England. Some kind of underground technological dystopia (this was as strong as the Norse/Celtic one, and I could only scratch the itch with certain types of music, for example Ministry's album Filth Pig, and the band Ice Ages, side project of band Summoning).
There's probably more I'm not remembering. Because of this, I have always believed this phenomenon to be a resonance with past lives that are strongly connected with this one.
The Norse thing came first. It happened out of nowhere. I woke up one morning at age 14 with a sudden interest I had never had before. I had no interest in studying the Norse gods. I didn't care to study their history. I felt like it wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for a memory and I was looking for the true history, not the watered down bits and pieces we have left.
I'm starting to open up to the idea of working with the ancient gods. It still doesn't really make sense to me how all that works, but I want to learn what it's all about and what the process is like.
Could my experience be interpreted as a calling from the old gods? Did they initiate this whole memory process? Is it possible that working with them in my past lives left soul contracts for them to show up and guide me through the darkness I was dealing with? Something has guided me. That could be my higher self and my spirit guides, but who are spirit guides? Why did I have a vision in a dream at 18 in which I was visited by a very special crow that sat on my arm in the most beautiful path through a forest in autumn, summer, and spring simultaneously, giving me a taste of the heavenly perfection that our planet is capable of to carry me through the threat of hopelessness? Was it just the energy of what crows represent or a visit from a god?
Danke meine bruder and that's the extent of my german for today. Absolutely love the sites and the beauty of Germany! Thanks for the video and for always teaching those willing to learn and sharing that wisdom so we can grow and expand our spiritual toolbox and knowledge. You hit the nail on the head with "those of us coming from christian backgrounds" comment yes we do often overdo it especially at first when you begin the pagan path. Have a great time in Europe and may you get back safely.
I have lots of great videos to come while I am here, and I am excited to take everyone with me on the journey!
Odin uses Ravens as messengers. When i see a Raven I don’t think that Raven is literally Odin. I see it more as Odin is staying informed on my life and my path.
Doesn’t mean Odin is literally next to me because i see A LOT of ravens, so that would be a lot of time just watching me drive/ walk around
It’s more of Odin is with me as in staying informed on my life.
Sometimes when I’m in a ruff spot and need reminder of my faith in the Gods i will ask Odin to send me a Raven and within an hour I’ll see one.
I would never expect Odin himself to come see me, but to just send a message to a Raven to give me a fly by to reinforce my faith isn’t a great burden to ask for.
So i do feel that Odin is with me when i see a raven.
Thank you for this. This was excellent advice and the timing of it was impeccable for me.
Maybe I can get some insight here. My daughter at age 10 was in a scary situation. She told me someone came to her lying in the bed and laid with her and rubbed her back and told her everything was going to be ok, he was proud of her, she was super strong and going to do great things. Your mom and dad love you very much and He really meant it. She preceded to say “you know how people tell you things just to make you feel better? I could tell he really meant it. “ She said “I was able to see what you were doing and he said you think about me all the time. She also said . He isn’t brown or white he is like ----. Which is a biracial bff she had at the time. I ask her “so are you ok now and can I stop worrying about you at -----? ( she was at a school where she had to stay overnight for a short period of time.) She said yes I am fine. She also told me he was wearing white and he had something like a sword. My daughter always had a great imagination, so I did believe her but obviously coming from a 10 year old questioned it somewhat. Well my mother passed away when she was 18 and they were very close. She struggled to go to my moms house for several months and one day she said out of no where she was just led to go visit her papa. It was not strange and she felt comfortable with my mom not there. She said “I don’t cry over MiMi anymore. She said bc I can feel her. She went on to describe the feeling. It wasn’t visual, but like sitting beside her in the car for example. So at 18 I ask her. Remember when you were at school? I know how you have always been very imaginative. Do you remember what you told me? She immediately said yes! How do you ever forget something like that? I’m not familiar with any of this, but I am starting to study it a little more. I hope I explained everything well. She can’t be around a lot of negative energy bc she picks up on it and causes her anxiety. Does anyone have any insight? She has had 2 close calls with death. Once at age 2 (cancer and tumor ruptured and was bleeding out internally). At age 5 another experience, but not as severe to my knowledge, but again required immediate surgery with not 100% sure of the outcome. She is a very typical 21 year old, but even she feels something is different. She once ask if she could talk to someone to figure out what it is. 🤷♀️ She is definitely a strong strong individual/ warrior (in our eyes). She has been through so much and has always had to work extremely hard at what seemed to come easy to her peers. Now at age 21 she does struggle more with confidence in her abilities. So capable of much more than she sees.
I couldn't agree more with these words! I joined the faith a little over a year ago and since then some of my friends and family have come to me to ask similar questions and had almost the same answer. I've always said if you think it's this deity then sit down and ask them. That's what I had done when I had my first experience too!
I'm new to all of this and a new pagan and I'm hoping to learn a lot from you
40% club! Thanks for the video as always Jacob.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent advice and a beautiful background
I keep seeing Odins rune. Once in a light reflection, once as a smudge on the window and today on the road. All in a 24 hour period
Hello, I left an important comment under your video -The Norns: The Carvers of fate- 6 months ago :0) I believe you didn't see it. This new video that you posted on the 25th of May just popped out today so I felt like dropping a line. By the way, I am in labor now, since Friday actually. So my baby will be born very soon -perhaps with the new moon and no further than the 6th of June, I feel. I know that the Norns will be here.
I just found your Channel yesterday, and it's the first time I've really found some direction, I've just started in studying Norse paganism, and I stumbled quite a bit trying to figure out which direction to go in thank you to you and the gods for your help in finding direction
Thankfully i am nine days today sober from aloachal and two half months clean from hevey drugs all hail lord Odin and all hail lord Thor all hail the Norse gods of Valhalla skal i am only getting back into this great religion i am a really proud Norse pagan i hope lord Thor and lord Odin bless and keep yous all safe
Good advice about the phone, need to do this myself.
3 years ago I believe the God's reached out to show things were going to be okay. My mother was told she had stage 3 lung cancer. I prayed for a sign to show me it will be okay. The next day 32 crows appeared in two trees outside my parents kitchen window. I believe that was when I solidified my faith in the gods. My mom has been cancer free since and her lungs have cleared to where it was like she never had cancer.
A few months ago I was walking to a dentist appointment and the day before I just had research the goddess hel and when I was on that walk I saw 2 dead animals in a row I really felt close to her
I was riding my Harley down the highway. Loud pipes, engine at 75 and wind. All of sudden it went quiet. I chatted with a classmate. She asked her pastor of her church. He replied “it was someone in my past that is no longer living trying to contact me”. Even when I was plowing a field I seen a Raven or crow in my field just watching me. I asked a friend and he mention it could be Huggin or Muggin doing Odin’s work
I've had thor coming to me in a dream and he said nothing to me but looking at him was exactly how they described him in norse mythology a big brute and then he took me to a massive table filled with all my family members enjoying a huge feast then outta nowhere Thor pulled me at my arm and gave me a replica of mjolnir and then showed me a huge battle happening on earth and he send me down with a fraction of his power and I accomplished a huge victory.
I wonder to this day what Thor tried to tell me.
I find this video pretty darn useful and I'll try to apply them to any future chance there may be a god connecting if they do. Also, now that we're talking about this topic, let me flip it. I'm planning a trip soon so, how is the god I should try to connect and make an offering to for safe travels?
My spirit walk. I went homeless. I had that spiritual experience as I had to survive without the help of modern convenience. I had to dig for those basic skills and became closer with the old ways. Which made me thirst for the knowledge when I came back into contact with things like the internet. I traced my family name to the Netherlands and ultimately to Norway. Now I'm thirsting for knowledge of our original gods.
I wouldn't say I've had contact per se but I've made a few offerings to Tyr and since I started things have been looking up for me. I've gotten to participate in one of a kind things, an assignment to a base I've been wanting, I'm getting put up for prestigious awards. It's pretty crazy like nothing I've experienced when I was a Christian.
Candles are the best I found for contact. Ask for the flame to react in whatever ways you will understand as a definitive answer
If you can build an actual fire in an outdoor setting and see the embers its thoroughly entrancing. Also the smell of wood smoke and crackle of wood burning really help with the process i find. I know some people cannot fo that based on where they live but if you can it really helps with grounding you.
@@TacticoolVIKINGBeard agreed
@@VoodooViking its a truly beautiful thing at night with a horn of ale or mead

Trust me, if it is Odin wants your attention for some reason, he will get it. He tends to come through loud and clear. Even when you wish he wouldn't. When he wants your attention it is usually not with a gentle nudge. At least in my experience it hasn't been for the last 68 years. You kind of get used to it.
11:50 wie süß dass sie fragt 🤭
sehr gut!
Sometimes I have felt the presence of an entity I cannot name. I have learned that only a small portion of our beliefs have survived and I've wonder if a deity we have no information on has been helping to guide me. (Might sound dumb 🥴)
Doesn't sound dumb at all. Some gods/goddesses and nature spirits we dont have a lot of info on nor may we have encountered them before. Research sometimes helps identify them
Not dumb. I think about this often. Best of luck.
Be careful, sometimes Abrahamic Demons/Fallen Angels like to disguise themselves as our Gods
Thanks
Absolutely great advice. Everything you had said including the dry spells should be documented. Sometimes we forget to give offerings because of how busy we are. Maybe the Gods in their way are saying stop and smell the roses. This video is much needed to all of us.
And as for the ants...I don't want to blame Loki, but maybe he's trying to get your attention. Hel got my attention by having a dead rose in my walking path next to a cemetery. Just sayin🤔
Thanks again for an amazing video ❤
Most likely Loki, or at least some hungry ants like ginger bread 😂
@@TheWisdomOfOdin 🤣🤣🤣 yeah, I think they liked the ginger.🐜🍞
Alle Ehre Respekt 👍
I've known who my patron is for quite a while now. Loki.
Im German and got so surprised when you started speaking German 😭
I’d love to have a talk with you about the Gods sometime. Your channel inspired me to create my own to share my journey with the Norse Gods. I just had my spiritual awakening this week. My channel is an open space for all Pagans regardless their beliefs and it chronicles my journey with Odin and the Gods & Goddesses @TheWisdomOfOdin
This was cool to hear. For me I think the three most prominent gods in my life are Odin, Thor and Tyr. Odin because the quest for knowledge and wisdom is one I share, as well as a deep desire to know the end of the world. Thor and Tyr because I see their qualities in my own brothers. A strong, brave, loud, and joyful man and a courageous, noble and just man
I have strong connections with Thor. First big connection was in my younging days sitting on the windowsill watching the sky just crisscrossed with lightning. But the latest was when i asked Thor to show me his strength and power just to have a sudden strong thunderstorm appear out of nowhere and it increasing in strength the happier i got. Thats when i figured that yeah, i think i may have Thor as a patron.
I do have a pull towards snakes in general and have had weird connections with them, along with really weird dreams of Loki(one was of me being randomly in a Swedish forest with my sister for some reason and i was showing her this stone altar i had set up when a snake slithered onto my hand which turned into Loki).. so i suspect Loki might be reaching out too.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
I sat outside at night n a light came on 4 times to my right which is set off by movement but no one was there! Not even a moth. So I said, if you're a god how do I know who you are. Then after 5 mins, the light on my left came on n again nothing moved to set it off? Loki????
I don't think crows are associated with Odin. I see crows all the time, but ravens on the other hand, I don't recall ever seeing a raven prior to becoming a polytheist.
I can understand mixing the two type of birds up with each other, but it's important to learn how to tell a raven from a crow if you want to notice signs from Odin. Ravens are generally larger, with longer tail feathers and a thicker beak.
Ravens are extremely uncommon where i live. I see crows all tge time here but on that note occasionally i get a gut feeling and a tickle up the spine occasionally when i see them at certain encounters especially at work (i work with plants in an outdoor nursery so my job is to care for them and try to find them a good home. Its also a place of INFINITE wisdom and im always searching for it there doing something i thoroughly enjoy) I acknowledge Odínn as i feel him around. Brings a smile to my face and gives me peace even on bad days.
I also think the confusion comes from mostly Midwestern pagans. Here, ravens are virtually non-existant, and the closest thing we have are crows. Much of it has to do with the flat, grassy terrain, which ravens tend to avoid but crows love.
@@ladygrey7425 i live in central NY along the hudson river. We dont ever get Ravens. Red tail hawks and in the very rare case an eagle And lots of crows but never seen a Raven here.
@@ladygrey7425 Fair enough. It's probably reasonable to assume that Odin would send a crow in place of a raven if there are no ravens in the vicinity.
Great video. Thank you. Do you have any advice for those of us that are called or drawn toward deities that are sometimes opposed to the Aesir and Vanir - gods like Fenrir, Hel, and Jormungandr? I know myself and several others have been strongly drawn toward Fenrir, and we get lots of eye-rolls and foul words from other, more mainstream Norse Pagans. Rökkatru seems like the term for us, but I'm looking for fellowship, not prejudice from my fellow Pagans - and I truly don't feel like I chose Fenrir. I fully believe he chose me. I'd like to know what you think. Thanks again.
First and foremost I would never do that to you. This faith has many branches and any of the Gods will get your attention. If someone who claims they are a pagan and treats you with disdain, truly does not have the spirit of this faith. I, myself, do not follow any given family of the Gods. I'm drawn to water and forest and find that I have a relationship more with Njord, Freyja and Sigyn of the Vanir. But, Hel has been coming to me so to speak in the side door and I welcome her. If we ever met, rest assure that I would treat you with upmost respect, sit down with drinks of choice and talk about experiences. Stay true to your convictions. The Gods are with you. 😊
I had a strange experience for months, I was taking boxing hours and one day,on a Training there was a man, for me was he old I was 17, grey hair,long beard lomg clothes and with a hat. I came up from the door to change my clothes he was also on that training and as I changed my clothes he spoke to me, he was so wise, I thinked on Odin all the time, maybe the the grey haired men was just a man, who wanted to take a few ours in boxing but I feelt there something I looked at him I just have seen Odin in him, I had a strange but a good experience that day, and still when I'm thinking on that man, I'm asking myself.. was that Odin?
9:00 RUclips Shorts is another one. It's real easy to scroll for a long time. Getting distracted by our electronics is not good for society as a whole.
A enormous flock of ravens were cawing and circling (swooping) around my ex-husbands house. Ive been taking my things from my old place... I took it as Odin warning me and didn't go into the home. My ex has had erratic behavior and I do believe Odins presence was there as a warning. I'm learning to listen to the God's, be Mindful and present.
I doubt it. Maybe crows, more likely grackles, but certainly not true ravens.
@@VndNvwYvvSvv haha well luckily our beliefs are NOT dogmatic. Therefore, I get to believe what I wish regardless of how you think.
I am a new Nordic pagan… which honestly I feel as if I don’t even deserve to be called that, but I was originally a Christian. I believe that the gods, though I may not know who exactly I worship, are definitely real in the world. What initially drew me to Nordic paganism is the connection to nature. Is there any advice for possibly finding a community of people who believe the same? One other question, what if you haven’t had a sign shown to you.
I got connected with the spirits at first
What if im seeing something a long the lines of a tree but not physically. A large leafless tree?
I’m new to this. Hello
Almost every time I would wear my Mjolnir this summer there would be a massive thunder storm, is that Thor?
And also, probably the most important one is that; the god contacting you may not be in the pantheon you want.
I recently became norse pagan and just two days ago I saw two ravens since becoming norse pagan and I'm pretty sure I connected with Odin I also read that he's also the God of poets and just yesterday I wrote a poem could that be Odins way of possibly reaching out since I connected with him?
Might be a bit of a silly question, and you may have touched base on it in another video that I’ve missed, I heard that the Nors refer to the Greek God Saturn when saying Saturday. How are the Greek and Norse Gods connected?
I have a whole video I filmed very recently on this talking about the relationship between the two pantheons 👍🏻
I woke up one morning just thinking bout odin. Then I was in a rh neg fb group and said nothing bout norse and someone said I'm a daughter of odin. Now isn't that weird?
Have an honest question because I seen your videos of offerings, connecting to the Old gods, building a relationship with them. And I’m wondering if it’s commonplace to have experiences, present offerings, and having a relationship with Loki? I’ve heard a lot of having them with other Gods and Goddesses, and yet to have seen anyone “so far” mentioning if they had one of Loki. Would it be seen as odd even for others of Norse paganism? I’m not entirely sure which is why I ask. I apologize if it might seem like a silly question.
When I look at the stars I get a special feeling what does that’s mean?
Stars are dope 🤷🏼♂️ 😂
In all seriousness I feel that stars are a way we connect with the ancestors. The stars that we see now are, for the most part, the same stars they saw.
can someone obtain honor after living a crappy life. What God could you appeal to help with that change?
Tyr is the first to come to my mind
How was the capuccino and where did you get it?
What do you do if the first "explosive moment" you experience happens to be the shape of Fenrir forming in the clouds of the nighttime sky, looking directly down at you?
I need to ask something that's bugging me. Please bear with me. My very 1st Deity connection wasn't Norse, it was to Apollo. (I was 15 yrs old) I know it was him because I asked for a sign & the sky changed colour to PINK. Since my 20s though I've considered myself a Norse Pagan (I'm now 47) & mostly drawn to Baldr, but these last few months I've felt 2 influences strongly; Odin (I don't know why & not Baldr), & Apollo again. So I have 2 questions, 1st, what advice do you have if non-Norse deities want to work with me? How do I square that with my Norse patrons? 2nd, how would I know if Baldr was actually trying to contact me? What signs can I look for? Thanks, I do feel quite muddled on this.
Jacob how can i contact you?
This may be a stupid question. Are there any Deities associated with ducks? I've been seeing lots of wild ducks around my back yard lately.
Considering beer is just weeds boiled in urine, I think the gods deserve offerings better than, and more useful than, alcohol.
By your definitions of reality, we are all just meat sacks, and water, held together by flesh walls. I don't think anything survives your dismal look on the universe 😆
Cool how you speak the words fre dens Engel. It sounds to my mother language (Dutch) as vredensengel. It means angel of peace. Vrede is peace ande engel is angel in Dutch.
Is there a god for darkness? I've come across shadows in the corner of my eye.
Nött the Goddess of Night
@@Nils_Ironwolf Oh boy, I'm trying to do research but it's getting overwhelming. I'm 22 and have had signs show to me the past couple years, but just now acknowledging them.
Few months ago I had a demon or some higher power try to possess me. Cold room, shakes, etc.
I've lost 6 loved ones in the last 6 years, and most them have given me signs of either reincarnation or by symbols. I started a new job 6 months ago, and one my coworkers has a Valknut decal on his car. I think that was definitely a sign from my dad, as he was huge into Norse/Vikings.
Again, I'm not well versed in this stuff. Willing to learn, but I'm slow 😅
@@evilal20 sounds like Hel is reaching out to you for comfort. She is great in that manner.
@@Nils_Ironwolf I thought Hel is a place?
@@Nils_Ironwolf Nevermind. Researching 😅 What would she be trying to communicate with me about? Am I about to die?
"Trust your apophenia" lol
And the other thing I always ask myself, is this real? Or is it my fantasy, my ego?
I have a question ? First I love your RUclips page and your videos are knowledgeable. My question is this I am person of color who has worked with Odin and Freya . Is wrong of me to work with Norse gods having only a little European blood? Thank you for your videos again.
No it isn't at all. You can be any race and still worship our gods, in the end they will always be White Gods so to speak, but no matter what blood you are ANYONE can worship them

Why is there graffiti on everything? I didn’t realize that was such a problem in Germany.
Sadly it is a very big problem here. The countryside is not as bad, but the cities are absolutely covered in graffiti
