I've looked up historically up to 24 gods and godesses but I've also seen other names as well. I guess it depends on culture and language of the people who practiced the odinic belief systems.
Can you do a video on Skadi? She isn't just the mother of our race she's also my MOST favorite goddess and I have a ridiculously hard time getting REAL information on her. It's just bits and pieces and guess work. THANKS Arith your contribution to our knowledge of our ancestors is BEYOND VALUE!! Truly it is beyod price!! Thank YOU!!😊👍
Hello
You mentioned that the term Helheimr is not correct because heimr means place. Like a flash the question comes into my mind:
What das gard means then? Midh-gard, As-gard...
Those are not places? 🤔
Cheers
Hello Arith,
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
I've relied on wikipedia (mostly) to study norse mythology but after watching your content I was wondering : could you suggest more accurate sources than those of the like of Snorri?
Thank you
Sources. I'm also interested in what sources you believe are most authentic, reliable, accurate, & informative for studying Norse mythology, religion, history.
THANKS for your GREAT CONTENT!
You and I will go to the hall designated for the RUclipsr caste
I'm not entirely sure if that's a good thing hehe
@@ArithHärger I expect it will be ruled by PewDiePie
@@Survivethejive As long as it's not Logan Paul, I'm fine with it. After death I intend to continue the process of learning and acquiring more knowledge, not getting dumber :p
To that end, I just want a library card for Bragi's hall:

Congrats on the 20000 subs!! Well done Arith, you thoroughly deserve it for all your hard work.
Oh wow! I didn't notice that o.o . . . just 4months ago I had 10k, what happened?! D: I've been so much submerged in work that it completely went unnoticed to me. Hey, I'm very happy! thank you! :P
@@ArithHärger I've been recommending you and dropping links. Perhaps others have as well. Maybe one day you will unseat that insufferable Jackson my-hats-are-too-clean-to-be-a-real-cowboy Crawford in the search algorithm. But I doubt it, because certain abrahamic types prefer his work, and its rigged against you. We can try.
Thank you Arith. This video along with your other on Hel has helped me to better understand the choice made by a old friend a strong believer in the old Norse ways who took his own life a few years ago. I could never understand what he meant by saying that he was doing what was honorable for those in his life so not to burden them any further. His decision makes much more sense to me now.
May he find the peace, he sought in life, now in death. It's never an easy choice or a easy way out as some people say. People who haven't dealt with suicide realities often judge and think of it as a coward's easy-way-out because they do not really understand the great amount of pain inside. Only those who have felt that pain can possibly understand such actions, or those who have seen it first hand. It takes a great amount of bravery to do that.
"Self" is the strongest feeling persay. It is hard and scary to put out that flame. It is in some ways honorable and courageous for one to step back and take the burden off others I feel. Never easy, not something I would recommend, but I hate the stigma of those who attempt or succeed in taking their own lives. Man has always known even from the beginning that there was something else and that pain and suffering is not all there is or supposed to be or something that should happen forever. I find it comforting and faith strengthening that even our oldest ancestors knew this. There may indeed be nothing else but it seems to me that man was programmed to know this was not the whole truth. I am not a Norse god follower, but I feel your friend is not suffering now.
Much love from a Christian who enjoys Arith's awesome videos on the old Norse ways.
I love listening to you play the guitar
Damb Arith! You just blew my mind! I learned things that I didn't even know that I needed to know! Great vid!
Hello my name is Inger Andersson and I live in South-est in Sweden in Blekinge outside a town named Karlskrona. I own a small piece of land there and at that land there is a bronze grave at a saller mountain . A time ago I red an old book 1700-1800-talet where they mentioned this piece of land and the small mountain and it was called Vanthallberget do you think that it can have something to do with Vanir? I have also found a stoneageaxe at this place!
Mvh Inger
Is it like Norway where your land is yours and don't pay taxes ? I think it's called alloidial property.
Get a metal detector or invite me ill bring two .
@@harbardheidenreich1111 Varg talked through your mind? Haha!
I've never been excited for Wednesdays, until now
Baron Stormhaven I bet he uploads on wednesday because he's a wisdom bringer and Wednesday is odins day
I choose to believe that Frejya picked first so she could get the warriors who were the best endowed.
They spent the days partying with the best looking Valkyries, she probably didn't pick to many Danes.
Odin gets the femboys.
Thank you for enriching my life with your thoughtful videos Arith! 💜
Literally just yesterday my friend was asking me about Norse afterlife and how it works and I wasn't sure how to answer, so glad this was uploaded! Thanks!
Wow. Great stuff; you know your lore! I’m learning more in a 30 minute of your videos than I’ve picked up in a couple years of reading about Norse lore.
Thank you for your time!
Very informative, as usual. I appreciate all your information you put out.

@@ArithHärger I LIKE your videos faithfully but RUclips doesn't like me and it erases my thumb up ALL the time lately!! But Arith PLEASE KNOW THIS! You are a hero!! May our Gods bless you because you bring back our memories of them video by video!! This is BEYOND PRICE!! YOU HELP us reconnect WITHOUT YOUR valuable knowledge we'd be scratching and pasting bits of knowledge together trying to find Faith with gaping holes in our information!! THANK YOU Arith!! I cannot say it enough! THANK YOU!!🎇😊👍
I wish I could say the language you talk about!! I know it’s part of my heritage, I really want to learn this too. But it doesn’t take away from all I learn from you every time I watch one of your videos. I enjoy the music you pick, the funny characters you put in (when you choose too) Your red headed Viking Friend....(you)!! LOL!! Love your signing!! Your goofing out takes....
I love ur videos !!!!
thank you for this share.
Another good video glad I ran across your video
I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason, I'm thinking a lot about the chicken motif.
I've been thinking about that very thing as well, and it made me laugh, out loud even. I have missed some of what he said because of this distraction.
Great content! Very informative & education. What text or information are you referring to when mentioning sources? I'd like to study more.
Great video
if a person believes in reincarnation and dies when they get to hel the keeper of hel will say"not you again." harharhar. or hows this one arith, no matter which direction you are walking your walking straight to hel. thank yew arith you really laid it out in an understandable light. take care gare
We shall go to wherever we are send. And since we are very stubborn creatures, I'm sure each one of us will find a way to move to another place if we dislike our destination hehe.
Hi my friend, always good to see another AH production. Marvel grrr I have a walking stick similar to Dr Donald Blake and no matter how many times i bang it on the ground neither it or me changes into Thor and Mjolnir.
Seriously though there are many misconceptions about Norse after life and here is a true story to show it. I used to live in a city where there was a group of Neo-vikings that walked around dressed as Vikings. One was arrested for carrying a sword, here it is illegal to carry a blade over 10cm in public. He pleaded that it was his religion, that he couldn't enter Valhalla without his sword. I researched this and found that it came from a 1958 film with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis called the Vikings. This guy frequented a watering hole that i used and I saw him one day there so I asked him from where came this notion. He told me that it was common knowledge blah, blah so I went out and bought a copy of both Eddas took it to him and told him to find it in there, come back a week later and show me. A week passed and he came, as we arranged looking very sheepish. I told him that the sword was not so common as Hollywood would have you believe. He admitted that he had looked for the reference that would prove his case and didn't find it. Well you can't find things that do not exist but I don't know if they ever changed that belief in their clan, probably not.
"Neo-viking" , I've never heard that one before. England is an interesting place :p. I love that movie with Kirk Douglas, but well... historically speaking it's not very accurate, but I still like it, just like the 13th Warrior and the Book Eaters of the Dead, it's all good fun but we must regard it as fantasy, even though Eaters of the Dead is based on Ibn Fadlan and Beowulf, but still... a lot of content can't be taken as historical accuracy. This still happens a lot, especially among Norse Neo-pagans. There's always the problem with personal gnosis and personal fantasies, but it's not just that. When we have lived for centuries acting and believing in a certain why because we grew up accepting such actions and beliefs as the truth, it's hard to let it go. When we have seen our great-grandparents, grandparents, parents and other family members for generations doing and believing in the same manner, we take it as the truth, but somewhere along the way people simply decided to follow a lie, and the lie becomes convenient, familiar, comfortable, right and eventually it becomes the truth.
Wow waking up Arith again! What will people think? Lol Who cares. The beginning reminded me of aspects of the Egyptian afterlife etc. i found that interesting but not really surprising. This was so much good info I feel I might go back and listen again. It’s true there is good and bad people and aspects of religions and people. Many times I like the quote “ the worst thing that ever happened to mankind was organized religion” I said sometimes I feel like that. Lol Nobody has to agree.
I've adopted asatru, and I'm glad you made this video.
So where exactly would a builder & blacksmith go ? Thanks for the always interesting videos.
That's a very good question. That's something I've been looking for, at least for blacksmiths. Thor is connected to blacksmithing as well as copper magic, which might indicate Blacksmiths and craftsman of all sorts might end up with Thor, since he is the good of the "common folk", so to speak. But there are still the myths of Duergar which are no more than underground sort of spirits/wights/Elves (in the sense of ancestors) which are known for their magic works related to blacksmithing, so it's possible blacksmiths are some point could also have been sent to dwell with the Duergar or dead ancestors within the mountains. I haven't mentioned that in this video because I've already talked about it in other videos, but it was quite common the belief of the dead moving to the mountains or the hills during the late Bronze Age and Iron Age of continental germanic Europe, and that same belief spreads into Britain with the Saxons and into Iceland with the Norwegian settlers. The famous Helgafell, which is a real geographical relief in Iceland, supposadly to where the dead went after death to live in the Halls of their ancestors.
I love the little Lord Of The Rings little music excerpt!
Arith, Hello. I was wondering what the lovely background music is in this video?? It's very soothing, and also, do you have an opinion on Edred Thorsson and his Rune Gild??
Always interesting 😊
Thanks!!!
Very good video Arith!
We can actually see some attempts of suicide in some Sagas, best known of course, Egill, when he tries to die by starvation
Keep on the good work, and, it would be very nice to talk, like keep in contact; specially if you want to come to Gotland, be welcome!
Would love to go to Gotland. I would make a nice video about the funerary stelae D:
@@ArithHärger it's a very nice place, and hold some o those spiral laberynths.
Great video as per usual, but it confused me when you claimed ‘Helheimr’ is nothing more than a Marvel invention. I have always considered ‘Helheimr’, or ‘Helheim’/‘Helheimen’ in norwegian, to be an alternate name for Hel, so I searched around and came to the conclusion that we are both partly right. ‘Helheimr’ was likely never a name used for Hel by pre-Christianity Scandinavians, as it is not used in texts such as the Eddas and other primary old norse texts, but still came to be long before Marvel. As an example, it is included in the Swedish ‘Nordisk Familjebok’ published in 1909 as an alternate name for Hel (‘Helhem’, page 304). My bad if you were simply making a joke, but it had to be said nonetheless! :) If that is the case, do you know when the name ‘Helheimr’ originally came into use?
Shared on Me We. Thank you!
Highly interesting view on suicide.
Very interesting view of suicide.
Just a theory but, I'm thinking that, in a culture with a lot to live for (community, family, joy of living, freedom, value of life and creativity) suicide would be seen as an act of bravery because few would really want to leave a life they love.
Conversely, in a culture with not a lot to live for (oppression, guilt, servitude, low self-esteem, lack of dignity, lack of value for human qualities like compassion, creativity and loyalty) the only thing that would keep people in their lives, reproducing and striving to 'climb the ladder' would be a fear of a life more horrible awaiting them after death. Maybe this is why we are seeing so many problems with people who have nothing to believe in (or hope for) leaving this life either through escapes like video games, television and films, drugs or through suicide.
Maybe the answer to the opioid crisis and so many mental health issues is the giving and accepting of permission to find and follow a life worth living.
Nice intro guitar reminding me of Ulver
I know I'm likely a bit late, but I only just found you -- Very informative and enlightening.
If I may be so curious -- is there (or was there) an afterlife for those with disabilities? Slightly more specifically, I ask this for those, like myself, who were born with a disability.
Could you please do a video on the topic of suicide in ancient pagan times? Depression etc? If there is more to say that is.
Here you have: ruclips.net/video/YtLQZK8Gfyw/видео.html&t=
this is a video I've done long ago, and it won't appear anywhere because it's a delicate subject so I've turned it off. I only send it to those interested in the subject.
@@ArithHärger thank you Arith :)
Are there any other sources for a ferryman in afterlife than the poem called The lay of Harbard in Poetic Edda?
Hey I watch you and I'm joining your patreon but I want to know something what happens to miscarried baby's in pre Christian pangism also is there a ceremony for laying the miscarried baby to rest
Thank you for making these videos! Can't tell you how long I have been looking for a channel like this.
You do not seem to mention the idea of reincarnation. Would you please clarify what you've discovered on this topic, if anything at all. There's a certain individual (Vikernes) who is a proponent of a type of Odalism. He bases his world view as follows: when one dies, they are not only reincarnated, but are reincarnated down the family tree, whether as one's children, their children's children or as children of relatives. Would like to hear your take. Also, it would be interesting if you could one day go into Baltic or Slavic beliefs.
THank you very much! Yes indeed I know what you are talking about concerning reincarnation. In Norse spirituality that's a very complex subject and the closer concept we have to reincarnation in the "Hamingja". I have a folder on this channel entitled "Religion, Spirituality & Philosophy" and I believe that's where the videos about Hamingja are, and the Fylgja, etc. Take a look ^^ and thank you very much! :D
@@ArithHärger Thank you! I'll check them out.
I like your chicken pictures.
Out of curiosity where fo blacksmiths and other crafters go to after they die?
To where Thor presides :)
@@ArithHärger thank you very much sir
Hey Arith ( and everyone else), you got to check out this show on netflix called norsemen its a viking comedy type of show its so funny. Its great to kick back a watch a cpl episodes. Arith you gotta check it out
I know this is an older video...but concerning ragnarok...and your quote "even gods go to hel"...that kind of makes me question what happens to the realm of Hel during and after ragnarok? I can't seem to find much on this subject.
I love the religion and freyas garden.
Can you make a video about slavery in Viking Age?
❤
Watching this again during lockdown 2 in November 2020 when a though struck me about my own funeral. My grave goods must include my favourite Rune set and a bottle of Macieira but it really is irrelevant as I am to be cremated and I consider it a waste.
Everyone goes to Hel!
Hel is our Shakti, Kali. Ever-growing, and creating, and destroying. Hel takes the fearsome form of whatever unresolved, Unconcious inner conflicts you have in order to face yourself and them.. as Kali wears the heads of your former selves around her neck, with their blood on her sword.
The Great Universal Mother is always there, not just in life and death. We have our own Ragnaröks all throughout birth as we grow. Every decade, every year, month, every day, every second.
In some fashion or another, we need to succumb to Her as Shiva does to Kali dancing upon him, and as Odin does to Fenrir's firey maw at the end of the Twilight..
So interresting.
Was there a life AFTER the afterlife ? (reincarnation) or was the death permanent.
Not reincarnation, but there is a concept of Rebirth
This channel is very educational everything I learned on here over the past couple weeks is very eye-opening I especially love the language and how descriptive it is Al or AI they look the same don't they one as I and one of them I am here so who are they allies? I hope so Colin hope so Allen hope so Alan hope so as Jesus hope so as Lucifer hope so Alma Loki and me hope so LOL the Loki and me amen Hallelujah
When they ask me what do i desire for my family this new 2020 11:18
Didn't the sea-giant Aegir also have his own hall similar to valhalla, for everyone who died in the sea? How does that fit in the original germanic afterlife?
Yes he did
Wow no dislikes what a rarity
I hope my own death is far away, but when I die, if I have any choice, I wish to die in battle. I have lived life as a warrior, I wish to die as one. Maybe make it there one day. Good video.
Welp nowadays Thor's hall will be over flowing I want nothing more than to go to vallhol but sadly I am not a soldier and I live in America so I don't plan to fight for this evil government when I get back to Norway I plan on joining there military but i also am very interested in ullrs hall o well it's up to the gods and I await my time to find out
I really do enjoy the videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!. Good to know I am going to hell as I get told that often.
Thank you for the Medicine
and enlightenment.
May your Journey Only Be Better Blessed...

This is cracking me up!!! The panoramas!!!! Lol . Owls scared they not gonna get where they found!!! HA!!!!! MOLECH WILL GET GOT NO MATTER WHAT, BITCHES!!!! HA!!!!!

We have had the influence of Christianity affect our views of the afterlife far too much. This is a less judgmental system in that it allows a wider latitude in where a soul is assigned with a far more compatible climate based on the personal life experience. I like it very much.
Another Christian influence is assuming the afterlife involves souls at all. The burying of extensive and practical grave goods and various stories about the dead all suggest that the afterlife was a place where you had a body and no evidence that they believed in an incorporeal soul separate from the body.
In shorty!?! This is 29 minuets!!!! Lol
When do references to the left hand path appear in Scandinavia?
I guess I'm not going anywhere. I had half a dozen different careers in my life...

No fun in that :p in pagan afterlife realities we get to explore more! Hehe
I see that the 'hell' which you mention is somehow depicted in the video game 'Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice'.

I don't care where I go. Anywhere has to be better than this place.
So you are stuck doing what you had to do in this life for the rest of eternity, never being able to expand beyond what your social class was in this life? Sounds more like torture to me than paradise.
Actually you can expand
why use the term paganism, that's a derogatory term from abrahaminic beliefs which are misogynistic and problematic (ungodly) in other ways, too
I'll have a video in the near future that you might find interesting, specifically for people like you who say precisely that.
What's with the silly little bell sounds??? You trying a sound like some those "witch" does and find give it a couple few little rocks to get me coming back spending more money!?; Lol
you start this video by saying there were different rites because of different belifes or something. Care to expand on that? As a norwegian who are in no way an expert, but has had a life long interrest in everything norse, this is the first time ive heard that.
How can you pretend to be an expert, and tell people about the norse afterlife when the fact is we know nex to nothing? And most of the stuff people know is fantasy made by people like you?
Stuff like this deserves a blood eagle, which i'm sure you have definitive proof of where a real thing as well.
But Loki must Loke
How people trade in afterlife? When there is no death, no point of eating and needs ? Or there is a desire to eat something co you have to trade ?
