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.
All gatherings are set up and managed by The Fellowship of Northern Traditions, a non-proft religious organization. This channel/community is inclusive to all but is also non-political.

Wayland. Was good to hear all this as the only time I'd run across him before was via the old Robin Hood series ... Robin of Sherwood (S2, E6) ... "Swords of Wayland."
The series had it that Robin's sword, which they named "Albion" in the show, was forged by Wayland.
So, it was fantastic actually hearing the real story or mythology of Wayland as it really was told.
Really enjoying these adventures you are taking us on.
This is very cool, this is roundabouts my neck of the woods, I'm a norwicher, I've been to wayland twice before but sadly, and probably also madly, never been to this site.
Your channel is awesome and it's really heartening and encouraging for me to see how you've become a wanderer, just like the All Father himself was.
Yours was one of the first channels I discovered when I first began trying to learn about my heritage.
I remember you sitting in the woods with a tankard of ale talking about how happy and proud you were to follow the old ways.
If you havent already wandered off I'd love to buy you a beer at the weekend bruv.
I forgot to say also, if you need somewhere to crash for a night or two you are welcome to my sofa I live in Norwich near the city centre.
Much love and respect 🙏
Honour to the Gods.
Hey! I appreciate it! And I am glad you enjoyed this video :)
I filmed this in April, just now had time to finish it. I am already back up north in Scotland. I will be returning south in the coming months. Much more to see and capture!
@@TheWisdomOfOdin i thought that might be so, good luck on your journeys. Looking forward to next video 🙂 👍
Volund knew how to party!
his other name is Festus
I Love your stories and your travels. I have been working on my family tree and just traced it all the way back to Holdvir Thorfinnsson (a true Viking leader), and Princess Groa Thorsteinsdotter of Iceland. It is SO exciting to find that my ancestors actually were vikings. I can't travel as you are, but watching your videos gives me the opportunity to see the places where my ancestors actually walked. You are awesome!! 💜 Thank you.
10:55 he used a device he crafted from bird feathers which his brother helped collect
Love your channel bro, been unto Norse paganism for four years now and it’s changed my entire perspective on the positivity of life,nice to meet brother that is showing that these weren’t bad practices, just forgotten ones
Never heard of this site, but was away with work, turned out it was 30mins from my work so I drove down, it’s a long old walk but worth every minute, gives off a feeling that’s hard to describe but I’d recommend anyone to go. Worth every second.
9:27 he used the lid of a chest to decapitated the king's sons
Thanks for that very interesting. I hadn’t heard of this character until the last month and I now know a fair bit thanks to your vids
Glad this video was helpful!
A good video, and one on a subject near and dear to me! Quite glad to see it approached so!
great video, I ordered your book form amazon, I did not know I could get a signed copy
from you. It should come today I am very excited.
I've heard in some versions of the stories he forges a pair of wings, which explains his ability to fly. Reminds me a bit of the story of Daedalus and Icarus.
Paul the apostle found a way to accelerate, took on an other personality
Great video Jacob! Hope you're doing good out there, bud!
The version you told of the story is far more... Tame, than the versions that i read and heard elsewhere.
I recall it being a bit more of a story of lost love, longing, and a terrible revenge, for the many wrongs done unto him by the finnish king and his daughter. His legs crippled, his body beaten, all at the behest of the very King's daughter. He was not so kind in his revenge.
Sadly, no, his wife never returned, and Volund freed himself by crafting a pair of wings, as he left with his prized ring.
Without any question that Wayland is the smith god of the germanic branch. He should be seen not just a powerful smith, but it seems that smiths are also connected with the deity that represents fire itself.
Paul was nicknamed Helios because he was closest to the Sun
Its a very powerful place 🤟🖤
Very interesting story
Might be just me but i'm interested to know how that site was constructed. Here in the States, it would require a flatbed Semi and heavy construction equipment to transport and move those boulders. Not to mention to lay the boulders on top of one another in such a way that it creates a fortified structure is impressive. The sheer weight alone would destroy the design of the structure if something went wrong. To source, carve, transport and setup the boulders is wild. Wood would splint and break at trying to lift and move those rocks into place.
Very interesting!
Could you do a video on the creatures and beings of pagan beliefs? Also I don't know if you've heard of something called Otherkin, but that'd be appreciated as well if you can look into it.
Duude read the Winter of the World series, it's an exciting tale heavily based on the Kalevala & Volund!
I need morel lifetimes to read 😂
I've recently had a pretty cool experience I was down by the beach a little bit of rain started coming so I grabbed a crab scream Thor's name and offered him up the Crab as a sacrifice and once I sacrifice the crab the rain started coming in full Force definitely one of if not the best experience I've had in this religion so far
Sent many a night at weland and many a blot until now
You failed to mention wayland the smith is of the elves
ELkanah of the Elkanites
Forged rings and escaping your enemy by giant flying bird..... Interesting.
As a Norse pagan is it required to work with Odin. Or can you just work with Freya and Thor?
You don't "work with" the gods, you worship them with sacrifice and prayer. You kneel to their statues in reverence. They are gods, not your co-workers.
Do we not know more about odin and thor than wayland the smith?
Where is your blacksmith-ed "Thor" hammer from? Do you have a video about it?
11:31 how am i gonna cut his achilles tendon if i cant see him?
Weylin as a boy's name is related to the Old English name Wayland. The meaning of Weylin is "land by the road"
In Celtic Baby Names the meaning of the name Weylin is: Son of the wolf.
That name may mean something to me that's why I posted it.
I just stumbled upon your channel and I have a question.
As an atheist of Celtic and Germanic descent, do you worship these deities as actual gods? Or is it for more ceremonial and cultural reasons?
My video coming next Wednesday will explore this!
@@TheWisdomOfOdin Nice.
I actually found your channel while doing research for a "Mork Borg" one shot and fell down a rabbit hole.
I wonder if the Gods ever intermarry with the Light Elves, like they sometimes do with the Jotuns..?
it would makes sense since freyr was supposed ruler of alfheim...vanaheim and alfheim were close
@@betmo yes! They most likely do then. I had forgotten that it's mentioned somewhere that Freyr was Lord of Ljosalfheim along with Vanaheim.
I wonder why Asgard and Vanaheim went to war against one another, I suppose this would mean there were light elves fighting against the Gods, during that war...
@@michaelrichardson989Frey receives Alfheim as a tooth-gift. Frey becomes the ruler of Alfheim. The light elves are responsible for the celestial movement of the sun, moon, dusk and dawn.
The Æsir and Vanir went to war because Gullveig was burnt again as her third reincarnation, Aurboða. The events that lead up to this was because Frey marries Gerðr, Gullveig-Aurboða's daughter while giving Eggþér the sword Gambeintein.
Is Woyland related to the Dark Smith?
Ophiuchus the handyman and snake-handler
Am wiccan pagan can I have Odin and Thor as my gods
No
elf = yourself.
elkanites are the horny boys
weiland means meadow, wide-land, plain, sole, Saul, superficial personality
volundar means full-ender, accomplisher, finisher, pole, Paul, sharp, sticky, obsessed
not a splitted personality but there was a before and an after of his 'humbling''
his life overlaps with Drusus germanicus and that of Paul the apostle and Santiago
there are similarities with Robin Hood, the Pied Piper and Conan the tiberian, all heroes
that go through a proces of humiliating to final get their revenge. You had no clue
Perseus married Andromeida Jesus loved Tabitha
Cepheus married Cassiopeia Ananias loved Sappheriah
Ophiuchus married Virgo Zacherias loved Elisabeth
I can see Volund being raised to deity status, but not a god.
Perhaps Volund-Wayland is from ljosalfheim the realm of the light elves like Jacob said in the video?
I am now wondering if those from Asgard intermarry with those from Ljosalfheim, like they sometimes do with the Jotuns?
@@michaelrichardson989 also another perspective to conceive is that it may just be a fable. However I try to take all views into mind and analyze all simultaneously. Fable, myth, historical. And pull in the notions of em being literal all the way to metaphorical. Then analyze those comparatively.
@@VoodooViking that seems like a good way of assessing things. I like to think sagas like this, and others like Sigurds slaying of Fafnir, are most likely real, but perhaps I'm just a hopeless romantic! 😄
@@michaelrichardson989Völundr is an álfr who is the son of Ívaldi, the brother of Egill and Slagfinnr. Völundr is also Þjazi. Völundr's daughter is Skaði who marries Njörðr and later Óðinn.
@@michaelrichardson989Sigurðr is actually Höðr who slays Fáfnir. This is because Sigurðr is a euhemerism of Fáfnismál.
