Yeah, I'm subscribing. This is the type of videos we need. Folks talking about facts and not spreading false information. GREAT video, I'll be referencing you and your website in my future videos.
Love the way you tell these stories :) really interesting where these symbols could have come from. I always imagine old wifes tales being passed down many generations when I hear that we have no idea where stuff actually came from.
I have a vegvisir tattoo back in 2014. I got it in Iceland during a science fellowship as a bond with my Icelandic brothers and sisters in ásatrúarfélagið.
Its funny to me that I could figure out what it means, sort of. Vegvisir had a same kind of sound as the Dutch word 'wegwijzer'. Where Weg means; road of path. An Wijzer means; pointer or something that points in a direction.
so Road pointer, or compass. awesome. I love languages and history because I love to see how language moves across the world as people interacted, 10 years ago, 100 or 1,000 years ago, we all influence each other and the easiest way to see who went where and integrated is to see how much of another language they adopted, or to see how root words spread out with migration. Language is almost a road map to our common human history.
In swedish veg=väg, visir=wijzer(same meaning). Scandinavian and dutch have many similarities!! knäckebröd, smaklig måltid, stam (trunk of a tree), videobevakning=videobewaijkning
I agree they look very similar.. wouldnt be surprised if the minoan civilization had something to do with it. Mediterranean cultures were quite developed compared to its northern counterparts, hence lots of technology and information must have reached other tribes and people around europe .. theres even more recent evidence that the phoenicians reached england bfore the romans.. often we tend to think of ancient cultures as if they lived in a cultural and geographical vacuum, whn obviously it wasnt so. Its like saying that 5000 years from now archeologists will be surprised of finding items with the sign “made in china” for an artifact found in europe.
@@kyomademon453 Yea but people still act surprised. Like the swedish very old buddha statue. They say hOoOoOow could it have gotten here!? instead of just yeah obviously trade and contact was very widespread 💪🏻
Christmas was existed prior to the conversion of Scandinavian lands. But I still found the rest of the video interesting and insightful, however, if this claim is not correct I wonder what else might be incorrect. Great job on the quality of the editing!
The Vegvisir and Galdrastafir are based on Seal of Solomon magical symbols from old grimoires. It makes sense that by the 1860s, Christian and Jewish esoteric magical practices would have blended with what remained of the Norse tradition in Iceland.
This information is much appreciated! I am always trying to understand the source of symbols. It's interesting how everyone seems to lump Vegvisir into Viking lore when the evidence is just not there. This is also a beautifully made video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I like what it means, and Icelanders have continued the development of the culture and the old religion sure, but something people forget so very often is that hearth culture seems to have been absolutely paramount to all Nordic peoples during the dark and middle ages, over and above regional or national culture, so a symbol used or ritual performed by one family, clan, tribe or Jarldom might have only been used by those groups, so only hold meaning within them and may otherwise be completely meaningless to everyone else.
You mention that Vegvisir is similar to the lesser key of Solomon. But fail to mention that on page 25 of the Huld manuscript (Handrit.is), where the Vegvisir is found, is an image entitled Solomon's insignia, which is from the lesser key of Solomon.
This “Wayfinder” looks just like a Norse Version of the Modern Symbol for: North, North-East, East, South-East, South, South-West, West and North-West to me tbh? It could be that simple? It doesn’t always have to be something esoteric, does it?
@@audhumbla6927 Maybe it was just a stylized version of the original or as the other commenter stated maybe the symbols were added that had family meaning etc?
I came across your videos absolutely enjoy them, what books are you looking into would love to know. I activate symbols, make some of my own. But I started making some of the old symbols to see actually what they do. And they are very interesting and remarkable. For instance the shield the protective symbol does just that. I have tested it on people and it is truly remarkable. Would love to know the books you’re referring to to find more!
I do not directly correlate Vegvísir to Vikings. I am Norse Pagan though. There's a lot of misconceptions spread by shows like "Vikings". I see it as solely a magical stave/sigil and nothing more.
Hi, thank you for sharing this information about rune staves whit us, really 😇🙏 But i wonder about something... maybe it's a weird thing to ask ☺️ but i wonder : Does it Mathers from which way or side we should draw a runestave /rune, for example for protection or love and so on ??? does it work if i draw a runestave even though i dont know from which way to begin to draw !!!???🙏🤔 love and light to all 😇
Vegviser is a compass used together with a sunstone icelandicfeltspar, what you have is a drawing of the compass ,not the actually compass, that was used combined too navigate with . the old Nordic knowledge have been turned up side down, by the Tribe of Dan, that invaded denmark (mark of dan), and made the danes in too warrior nation wich we not was at all Vikings is not a age too be proud of as a Dane but the time before we had vast knowledge perfect astronomy based on the flat earth model that why jul was celebrated it simply is a greating too the sun and its heavenly wheel there is much globe belivers never will understand and Denmark was not our name for this aera
its ok to be white in normal letters to bruh. whats not ok is being scared and hising the fact that its ok to be white. its glourious, we shine like suns like Ibd Fadlan (spelling?) desribed us in Konstantinopel
oh you're not wrong. something fishy about most of the history we have been presented with by academia. Also looks like the Chiro from roman empire. Sun worship. Also skull and crossbones society. Possibly suplanted on vikings same with the name "Vikings". I feel the true norse were not actually pirates, its the other way around. Venecians and Roman Catholic church are the pirates. what would i know, im from australia where aparently as we are told we all live upsidedown. lol. just saying.
why are you talking shit? tjere are tons of sources from all ober europe about the raids of vikings. Viking was a word used then to describe people going in boats, vik=bay, either if thei were trading or looting. Stop making shit up
This is another distortion of our past. Not intentional, merely accidentally drawn. The symbol was a calendar, compass and not those used by the hunter gathers over 8000 years ago. It allowed for the navigation and time of migration of the Pagans. This is why it is called the Wayfarer. The Priest carried the knowledge and the leaders carried the power. Together they governed the tribes. Every King had his Magician, or spiritual leader to compliment himself. Over time the Hunter gatherers stopped the migration and the need of the way to navigate was no longer needed. Until someone in the 17 th century liberated the symbol now used. However, this is not the true Wayfarer. The true Wayfarer is a necklace. Want to know more . Email me. Bob I have
@@XxNINJ4HOBOxX I have many swedish viking friends who are heathens or shamans who use this symbol. No one is going around claiming "I know every detail and exact history of this symbol", but it is obvious to anyone that it is an old, northern european symbol. Thats good enough. Yall dont have the full understanding of Mjölnir, but you still use it. People should get off their high horses. Be proud of your tattoo, its a beautiful symbol, and we were all the same proto-germanic peoples any way!
The Dipylon Inscription could be the earliest Greek written language. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipylon_inscription#/media/File:Transcription_of_the_Dipylon_Oinochoe_Inscription.jpg Observe that some of the letters closely resemble Runes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipylon_inscription#/media/File:NAMA_Dipylon_Oinochoe.JPG This must be the origins of the Vegvisir.
100% agree with you brother, we need to focus on the true past. Thank you for sharing

The Staves look very similar to the stone mason marks on the stone blocks at the ancient temple ruins of Knossos.

Good point, could well be
why would the 8 ends be so diffrent and complicated?

They could be just Symbols for all the Directions that i mentioned? My original Comment was just an idea really, I could be wrong too?

Spot on Brother.
Consolidate your model by reading "The Dharma Manifesto" and our Own Oera Linda.
Washail! from a Saxon.
Asha Logos has the most incredible video series on that book, quite frankly his channel is amazing
@@BikingVikingHH Agreed.
A gem amongs dross.
I just watched an interview with Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya, and the book has piqued my interest, I may get it later this year.

he is referring to the original eddas and sagas. he says it.
Is the vegvisir the same as the aegishjalmur?
I do not directly correlate Vegvísir to Vikings. I am Norse Pagan though. There's a lot of misconceptions spread by shows like "Vikings". I see it as solely a magical stave/sigil and nothing more.
Possibly has origins in ancient Phoenician sea traders!!
Are the phoenicians the "Sea People"?
@@pedrogabriel3448 i think so

so basically it is a magical stave of protection and guidance not a viking symbol?

When people have this tattoo i automatically know they know nothing about norse history and think they are Viking because they watched the drama show
Got it as a tattoo but acknowledged it had nothing to do with the Viking age. I just thought the design was cool lol.
