- In this video I discus the Anglo-Saxon concept of 'Wyrd' is, and whether or not they believed that our fates were predetermined by the Gods.

This premise was understood even much later. Shakespeare’s ‘weird’ sisters were quite clearly using this concept.
That was great. The Way The Wyrd by Brian Bates is a great book and helps the interested get your head around these concepts.
Thank you for making and sharing this very interesting, informative, and insightful videos! All the best in whatever you do. 🙏🏽👍🏼
Excellent work once again. I have to admit I enjoy the etymology way too much in these videos!
You make a good teacher Connor.
I found history boring at school, only got interested in my ancestry and history a few years ago.
Found out I got Norway ancestry from my dads DNA test.
Now I know why I love folk metal lol.
Subbed.
Hi Connor, these three videos are great, you should keep at it fyrdman.
Another brilliant subject well addressed!
Fantastic, excellent work.
"Alternate Realities"....according to some, we are in a constant state of "Choice"....moment-by-moment... The favorite phrase of what I call the 'new Spiritual Movement' is "You create your own Reality". Along with this is that you have a constant entourage of "Helpers" who give us a 'heads-up' regarding possible better choices than if we were to 'go it alone' using only our Intellect. In Tribal cultures of the American West, 'Medicine People' were available to advise and suggest choices based upon some "Higher Ability" to fortell outcomes. Divination using Tarot Cards, Runes, etc............We all want to get an 'idea' of the choices we have before us so that we can make the best decisions according to our desired outcomes..
Fantastic explanation!!!
Absolutely beautiful
You're doing awesome, so proud of you 😍🥰
Thank you! ❤
Love this. I teach high school students, and I'd love an even simplified version for our unit on Beowulf and Wyrd!
Lovely! I used to teach high school history, would be happy to give you a hand - just drop me an email!
Thank you!
Hello Frydsman! I teach high school in the US and my students are 16, 17, and 18 years of age so not sure if that's what you'd secondary or tertiary school since we divide school into three subgroups: elementary, middle school, and high school. At any rate, I was having trouble with the concept of wyrd and have been looking up many sources on it. You hit the nail on the head, I think I have a lucid understanding at this point! You rock!
Love it 😊
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
In Scandinavia Fate is fixed, you can't change it. But you can choose how it plays out. I.e. your destiny is to die on a particular day you can choose to die bravely making a difference or die a pointless death. Even the Goods can not change fate; Odin knows what will happen at Ragnarök but still builds his army and prepares for it.
I thought it was clearly stated in Anglo Saxon sources (the few we have sadly) that Wyrd is greatly fixed and almost impossible to change. Same as the Norse concept of Urðr. Seems a more predemerministic Wyrd aligns better to other attested Germanic beliefs over the more Vedic inspired one presented in the video.
Hi, could you please share any sources you are referring when talking about the origin of the word wyrd. Thank you.
Excellent video. Hopefully your channel will grow.
Edit: I'm also a pagan studying to be a secondary school teacher! Very cool.
Thank you man! Glad you approve. Always nice to see more pagan teachers. What's your subject?
@@thefyrdsman9590 I'm studying to be a history teacher. I assume that is probably your subject too or something else?
@@pierredessein5568 that's right!
Great video:) The Wyrd of a Mankini ... 🤔😹
I,m off now to dree my wyrd.
You need to update your teespring link as they have changed their name to spring.

So "fyrd" must be written with a Y or an I? Why is it with a I on the shirt?
Fyrd is definitely spelt with a 'Y', but I put an I on the shirt because I preferred the way it looked. Maybe I'll make a 'Y' variant too 😉
@@thefyrdsman9590 oh, ok then =D
Love the word by the way.
