Dall’ Italia , un ringraziamento per la tua esposizione profonda , spirituale , e illuminante sul significato che offri , e che sento sento Vero , riguardo al messaggio che le Rune sussurrano al Cuore ! Un abbraccio , caro Arith ! 🥰
I commend and appreciate the passion you put into these videos and explanations of the runes and our ancestry. It is contagious and keeps me hooked, listening carefully to you speak about these very interesting topics, good work! I will always support your channel :)
This is your legacy, Arith. Sharing the knowledge u have with us, with your community. You are suggesting it and living it. I see u for the selfless servant u are, Arith, and promise you every hospitality i can muster if u ever find yourself at my door. I recently carved an othala with hugin and munin in either side. A few months later, now, find myself in a period of great change and re-evaluation of my entire life.. centered on doing whats truly right for my true self. And then u posted this video. Almost seems custom made or divinely organized. Much love, Older Brother.
I am in México and I do not why but every time I see your videos I feel some sort of excitement, joy, or something like that, thank you for they videos ....
Arith i see Othala every day. I am a völva and i call myself Freyja Þorunn Týrdottir. I am born to help others and each day if i do not help someone i feel as if my life has no meaning. My father was a policeman and i became policewoman however our police system has for the most part been overrun by corrupt police officers with prominent gang members spreading their filth within. Being female Thor i am so angry at all this but is affecting my family and have been off sick until the end of December. I know there is a ragnarok at play now, the Age of Aquarius. There is a great fight between good and evil. Othala is so very important to each and every person on Mother Earth. There is so much to do to preserve Earth from its impending doom. Am a very optimistic person still, and i know that good WILL triumph over evil.
I just went back to Rune divination after months of dreaming of Ravens and an old man (I stopped reading runes 4 years ago and now it calls me back). I got this in the reversed position and when I used an app to review each of the meanings, I felt something wasn't right so I searched for Othala reversed meaning and heard your beautiful explanation. Thank you for being part of this journey
I met this rune in a Mayan kin reading. ( it gives you information from your birthday) As I started researching Othala, each new piece of information had more meaning for me. The traditions and knowledge of my ancestors are important to me, I am Mexican and studying archeology. I try to express the loyalty to my ancestors with patriotism and whit the desire of social justice. thanks for the info!
I cannot thank you enough for your rune series. I have been doing an arduous albeit rewarding 9 day walk with each rune in the elder futhark and your videos have been beyond helpful as I learn to use these tools. Thank you Arith for all the hard work and effort you put into these videos. Your knowledge, perspectives, teaching are greatly appreciated in this community. Skal.
@@rdpmackie the far leftists, as far as I have been able to determine, are puppets of a more powerful group and/or entity that desires stagnation through ignorance to maintain their power. If it must suffer the chaos of it's own followers, so be it. It can just blame the suffering on it's enemy and the mob will charge onward blindly and never questioning. The smarter ones even project their ignorance onto others, pretending to be the smart ones while repeating statements that were debunked as falsehood decades prior or sometimes by their own statement (see fact checking: they will add extraneous context that was not present in the original claim and debunk the claim as a whole while admitting to the claim as given by the claimant).
I've read many definitions,or explainations of the last rune in the elder futhark.Arith's explainanion is the most in depth but easily understood.Thank you Arith for your great contributions to the Heathen way of life .
These videos have given so much more clarity and depth to my understanding of the runes! Thank you so much wise brother! You aid my spiritual journey in so many ways with your knowledge! Be well in every way!!
This video was amazing. I was so touched by what you said about our home being the place that we are fighting for, our hearthfire, the true resting place of our soul. It really gave me a new appreciation for home and family, and I’ll keep that in mind whenever I light my hearth in the morning. Gods smile on you sir, you are a Mimir in this world
I noticed The White Goddess on your bookshelf. What a legendary book! My respect for you goes up and up. Thanks again for such an awesome video. I have learned so much from your channel.
You never disappoint! Your videos are so educational yet so entertaining.. I truly enjoy watching every second of them.. thanks for all your hard work and dedication you put in these videos.. I’m always excited when I see you have something new!! Thanks for making my morning great!! Hope you have a great day! Can’t wait for the next video!
The argument of 37:50 you pulled out reminds me of an italian rap song where a rapper (Caparezza) mock the racists about their idea of birthright; he say "you are born here just because here a pussy gave birth to you" and I don't know why, but it made me laugh a lot
I have recently asked guidance from the Universe, Divinity and it came through this rune.I started to read about it and was okay, but today your video came to me and gave me the actual guidance, the answers to my questions. Fantastic video, so informative and the right one for me. Thank you ❤
my saying is"make sure the side you are on is actually on your side"...my motive as to what represents worthwhile is philanthropic now...that comes from clarity and age.
I really needed to hear this message today. Thank you for this joyful enlightenment of the meaning of this rune. I shall re-watch this video, as I occasionally re-watch many of your other videos--each time I gain a better understanding.
Othala is the last rune, because after the end comes the new beginning, everything starts all over again and every person writes his own history and that of his family, his tribe! The cross symbolises the spreading of knowledge, in all directions, it spreads, multiplies, so that it benefits all people!

I'm currently making my own hnefatafl board with woodcarving, planning to decorate it with a rune string which I'll now end with Dagaz! your videos helped me alot to gain more insight on the meaning of the runes
Not the same spelling but the same meaning and understand and both carrying the same sound flow, Othala Alāla a Seed with roots you plant as you sing your Worksong and grow a better life The Babylonian word Alāla the divinized work song Alāla which was frequently voiced by plowmen or farmers in contexts of plowing the field. Enlil, whose name was pronounced Illil in the first millennium, could be identified (because of the similar sound patterns of their names) with the god da-la-la, a deity embodying the alālu-worksong, ulāla (“the feeble”) and the “purification” (ullulu) of Ištar-votaries during the sixth Babylonian month Ulūlu. It means to plow down the old and grow new off the old the growth cycle, planting new seeds. A song of life A great video love once again
Thank you for your insightful lesson and showing that this symbolism is spiritual and beyond modern Nationalism. When I see Othala I wince because here in the states as least (I cannot speak to other places), Othala is tattooed on folks that don't embody building community and home through welcoming compassion and extending that to our entire species and our planet. Fascists, I mean Fascists. You want to see Othala, go to a protest and you will see it with NAZIS. It is so wrong and sad. So limiting. So toxic.
I feel the same way. I saw a photo from a news post where someone from one of these “counter protest” groups was holding a flag with Othala on it. It made me sick to my stomach and I just shook my head in disbelief. Wherever you are, I hope you are doing well and maintaining diligence in these scary and unsure times.
@@matthewlawrence1230 Indeed, and to you as well. I will say, these ideas from pre-christian spirituality are helping me immensely in understanding and coping through cycles.
@@matthewlawrence1230 what is so "scarey?" Don't fear the unknown or "unsure" as you put it. Don't be buy into a weak mindset. Stop worrying so much about hurting someone's feelings our feelings don't matter in the long run. Of course if you disagree I understand good luck brother
Absolutely love your explanations and researches actually I really wish one day you will decide to write a deep Runes book. But I have another belief about the end of Elder Futhark I believe that the final Rune is Othala cause Inguz is the latent creative energy as something is in Oven cooking and it will manifest when the time is right, as also kundalini energy fire of creativity and as Dna Inguz with the symbol v crossing not the square symbol as 2 snakes crossing. So after Inguz obviously dagaz as enlightment joyful deep realization or connecting everthing etc and then Othala the home Ancestors lineage the journey has been done😊🌀🌈
Great video, as always! Videos about divination methods would be great. Maybe you could share your own experience of work with runes and give some advice for beginners? I understand that it is personal, but maybe in some generalized form. Also it would be very interesting to hear from you about rune casting and bind runes
Is the image of the Ingwaz and 4 Othala runes your design? I'm drawn to it so much that when I saw it the other day I was inspired to paint it. And in my 48 years I've never painted a painting before. However, I think it's coming along nicely though. Thank you for your teachings Arith!!
I don’t want to upset you but I pulled Dagaz few weeks ago and now Athala 😂 and I can see why Athala is last- only through a rebirth- in my opinion - can you leave the new the best of yourself to the generations to come. Thank you so much for these videos. You are wise and a good man. Truly you are. Thank you ❤
Othala is one of my favourite runes as well, i have a very good book that examines the potential philosophies and i have been waiting for Arith to speak on it - knowing this would be very good. When i started some very important personal healing I tatted a small one on my hand with just needle and ink - and for me -at that time it meant -self acceptance, freedom and basically - that I inherit My Self . . .I pulled this from my pouch yesterday morning - and now - . . . and this is a particular difficult time- so this is good - 33 min in - i started scribbling - Thank you !
Bom dia Arith. I agree with you entirely that the final rune should be Dagaz, to end the circle by the new beginning, so to speak. This makes more sense to maintain the circlic balance of existence and falls in line with my belief of reincarnation - when you have attained all that you will achieve in this life it is time to move on to the next life, to new adventures and new lessons that you cannot experience in your present personality (incarnation).
@@ArithHärger You laugh at my Portuguese and I laugh at your replies to Theresa in English. I need to practise my Portuguese when I can. I have a friemd from Mozambique who tells me that he speaks Pretuguese but he never drinks cerveja preta.
Não ouse terminar a serie sem nos mostrar a sua metodologia de tiragem de runas! :D (Alias, fantástica a sua analise sobre a ordem as duas ultimas runas. Minhas meditações usando as runas fizeram mais sentido assim mesmo) Muito obrigado, meu amigo Luso!
for myself and probably most people the first priority is to throw out the propaganda of Abrahamism and feel after our ancestors to try to understand them and their worldview rather than judge anything according to the one we've received....I believe it is likely to be a long process.
Absolutely great content you have in this channel and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Great job on finally breaking the racist nationalist propaganda attached to this rune and maintaing its meaning and spiritual significance!
hey there, thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, no matter what I stand by what I believe in, and I'll keep figthing against all sorts of oppression. It's quite simple really, I do believe ignorance is one of the worst things, it is the bane of all societies, so the only thing I want is to give unbiased knowledge as much as it is possible in historical and archaeological terms (not in these rune series, as these are my own esoteric approach to them, of course, but also trying to give a meaning and purpose to be applied to our modern days). Racism is ignorance, there's no other way around it, so I'll fight against it, obviously.
Hey Balder have you seen Arith since he shaved his head? He too is now balder but not a prince and definitely not bright or beautiful (despite what he may think or say).
i came across your channel around 1 year ago ,as a 13yr old lad i dreamt of this rune othala and tiwaz below it linked as one ,for over 16 years i dreamt these two runes ,so ,i had them tattooed on my right top arm was pulled to have it done ,then i i stopped haveing the dream great video thx
So many books! The runes should be approached and understood personally, as Óðinn asks us in Hávamál/rúnatál. If you want to explore them for yourself, the oldest known interpretations and origins and sources could be of help for a start. 'The History Of Runic Lore' by Lars Magnar Enoksen (Scandinavian Heritage Publications, 2011) might be of help. Bought my copy on the Wardruna fansite a few years ago.
I have a question and I figured this could be the place to ask. Q: I'm looking for a good book on the runes , their backgrounds, mythos, and meanings in the most traditional and not mixed with all the Christian stuff added later or any of the new age woo woo stuff. I'm looking for the book to go with the elder futhark runes (English translation) . Not to insult anyone but I'm looking for as traditional and historical as possible translation/description and meanings, without all the made up new age stuff or other religious ideas mixed in. I've considered that I may have to write my own book on the meanings after looking only to find a bunch of nonsense that has very little to do with the traditional meanings and are instead a bunch of unfounded made up stuff from people who don't even understand the most basic things about the culture , traditions much less spiritual practices and just make up fantastical b's. But I have a lot going on in my life right now and writing my own book will be far to time consuming at this point. I don't need the runes as I am making my own as the fates saw fit to bring me just what I needed without my asking . So if anyone thinks they know of such a book and would be kind enough to share your suggestions I would be quite thankful. I thought I would share the story about how the pieces for the runes found themselves to me since I found it interesting and somehow tied to the fates. I'll start by mentioning that my mother recently was able to buy some mostly wooded acreage and build a small home in the countryside near some glacial fresh water lakes where she loves to walk the shores. This past winter the ice,snow and storms ended up washing up stones not seen by humans in at least 500 years. So as she is out walking the shoreline she's finding all these beautiful stones flat with soft rounded sides, all formed by the movement of the water over countless years and generations. My mother was overtaken by the urge to start collecting a bunch of them of the same size and shape, not sure why at first but soon realized that she wanted to give them to me so that I found make my own set of elder futhark runes, but I hadn't said anything to her about my thinking about wanting to make my own, so she was working on sheer instinct. I thought about how it all unfolded, how they came to me, where they come from and the significance of these things and couldn't ignore that gift. For them to come to me as an intuitive gift from my mother who against the odds finds these perfectly shaped stones that have been hiding from the modern world for so long only to be given up by the glacial lake ( not unlike the sacred waters that give up the runes to Odin).. I should mention that my mother's knowledge of our ancestral history is down right sad, she knows more about central and South America than her own people's culture,traditions,beliefs and lives, a rampant issue with so many people these days not knowing or having any connection to their roots. So she wasn't seeing the symbolic nature of many of these things until I was able to share what I knew and saw. There is a bit more that is very personal so I'm leaving that bit out , but let's just say that this as well as many other things were happening around this time. I was going through some dark times and things that I needed to know/understand were being revealed to me in some pretty interesting ways.
Hello Arith, is it possible you could make a video on how you pronounce Freyja in Scandinavian countries. Becuse I sa one of your videos about her but you said !I will pronounce for the sake of this video..." , so I am in doubt in how it's pronounced since my brother tells me it's pronounce different. Thank you in advance, hope it's not to much trouble.
For swedish it´s Freja, just dump the y and try to "roll" the r and you´re good to go. Norwegian pretty much the same i think. Danish and also southern sweden more of a "throaty" r but that´s not a big deal.
So today I finally listened to othala and realized that I was very wrong. I'm sorry for that and I look forward to the last rune to come. Thank you for all this wisdom you shared here with us
I'm sure this is asked a lot but if someone knows the answer, is there any significant difference between the pronunciations Othala and Odal? what's the "correct" pronunciation and where did the two originate from?
Arith, you share some great insights, with certain intelligence, and a large perspective. This video also goes into your reading the exact words written by Ralph Blum in The Book of Runes. But I did not hear you give credit, and it seemed you read the words as if speaking spontaneously. Can you please explain? Thank you.
Hello there! I do not have an "explanation" per se, as I find that highly unlikely, or at the very least mighty coincidental, but there may be an idea that can sort of explain what you are saying, if what you say is indeed the truth. Could you please point me out what were the words here said? I never read Ralph Blum, although I know he wrote a book in the 80s as an esoteric approach to the runes that has influenced many authors in the field of esoteric runology and occult. Even though I never read his work, I read many authors with such approaches that no doubt have been influenced by his work. The only possible scenario I see here is that, when it comes to esoteric approaches to the runes, it is so saturated that most of us end up saying the same/similar things in certain points. Although, I continue to find it unlikely I've said the exact same words of an author I never read. Similar words? Perhaps. My esoteric approach to the runes is based on the little information provided by the surviving runic poems + mythological and historical accounts and evidences that seem to reflect parts of the information for each poem dedicated to each rune + fitting it all into human daily and psychological aspects, and all of this constructs possible meanings when the runes appear in a rune reading. Again, please tell me what words were here said. Thank you.
Arith Blum really isn't up your alley anyway he is more of a copy paste to runes from tarot approach and is often credited with the creation of the blank tile which I know you don't use. I'm not saying Blum is wrong people use him successfully for their readings but it's just a different approach from what you do and you probably wouldn't find any useful information that would change your mind on how you read your rune pulls. I'm trying hard not to be bias but I'm not much of a fan of Blum.

Othala is one of my favourite runes as well, i have a very good book that examines the potential philosophies and i have been waiting for Arith to speak on it - knowing this would be very good. When i started some very important personal healing I tatted a small one on my hand with just needle and ink - and for me -at that time it meant -self acceptance, freedom and basically - that I inherit My Self . . .I pulled this from my pouch yesterday morning - and now - . . . and this is a particular difficult time- so this is good - 33 min in - i started scribbling - Thank you !
Arith, you and the runes are amazing!
Thanks you for sharing your Rune lesson, as always I Injoyed and appreciate your video's Thank you.🙏✌
Thank you my friend!
Excellent presentation of Othala. I am grateful for this....thank you.
Thank you for the video and the knowledge of the rune Othala
Bom dia Arith. I agree with you entirely that the final rune should be Dagaz, to end the circle by the new beginning, so to speak. This makes more sense to maintain the circlic balance of existence and falls in line with my belief of reincarnation - when you have attained all that you will achieve in this life it is time to move on to the next life, to new adventures and new lessons that you cannot experience in your present personality (incarnation).
Bom dia my friend :D hehe. Yes, to me it makes sense ending these rune series with Dagaz, for many reasons and specially in this crazy year :)
yes dagaz please...
@@ArithHärger You laugh at my Portuguese and I laugh at your replies to Theresa in English. I need to practise my Portuguese when I can. I have a friemd from Mozambique who tells me that he speaks Pretuguese but he never drinks cerveja preta.
@@ArithHärger So, when are we finally getting Dagaz?
@@colinp2238 He wasn't laughing at your Portuguese.
i clearly personally perceive the progression from ingwaz towards othala.i am very grateful for the clarity.
Me too ;D
I've been learning about one rune each week and the one I study Always seems to be perfect for what I'm going through at the moment with life
❤️❤️❤️❤️ This is probably one of my favorite ones yet!! Thank you for all your time with explaining all of these Runes!!
I'm very happy to see you enjoyed this one that much! Cheers!
Thank you for your videos. They are extremely helpful and instructional.
Thank you. I also have been confronted with a choice and eventually decided that Dagaz should be the last. It would make no sense otherwise
Yaaaay!! I missed you uploading this! I've been waiting for this one; I have it tattooed on my face!!
Não ouse terminar a serie sem nos mostrar a sua metodologia de tiragem de runas! :D
(Alias, fantástica a sua analise sobre a ordem as duas ultimas runas. Minhas meditações usando as runas fizeram mais sentido assim mesmo)
Muito obrigado, meu amigo Luso!
Brilliant! Thank you.
for myself and probably most people the first priority is to throw out the propaganda of Abrahamism and feel after our ancestors to try to understand them and their worldview rather than judge anything according to the one we've received....I believe it is likely to be a long process.
This one really made me question what I want in life and what I want to become- I realized what I want wouldn't be healthy for me.
excellent - as always
Thank you :D
Greetings from the Texas Gulf Coast, USA. Will you be going through the Northumbrian Runes? How are the kittens doing?
Could you do Rune combinations videos. You are doing great work.
Absolutely great content you have in this channel and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Great job on finally breaking the racist nationalist propaganda attached to this rune and maintaing its meaning and spiritual significance!
hey there, thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, no matter what I stand by what I believe in, and I'll keep figthing against all sorts of oppression. It's quite simple really, I do believe ignorance is one of the worst things, it is the bane of all societies, so the only thing I want is to give unbiased knowledge as much as it is possible in historical and archaeological terms (not in these rune series, as these are my own esoteric approach to them, of course, but also trying to give a meaning and purpose to be applied to our modern days). Racism is ignorance, there's no other way around it, so I'll fight against it, obviously.
Hey Balder have you seen Arith since he shaved his head? He too is now balder but not a prince and definitely not bright or beautiful (despite what he may think or say).
Love from INDIA 🇮🇳 ❤️🙏🏻
Such a powerful rune I want one so I can use it.
You’ve got just one more👍. I got lucky that I just found your channel. lol
I appreciate what you said in this video. :)
i came across your channel around 1 year ago ,as a 13yr old lad i dreamt of this rune othala and tiwaz below it linked as one ,for over 16 years i dreamt these two runes ,so ,i had them tattooed on my right top arm was pulled to have it done ,then i i stopped haveing the dream great video thx
Arith, What book(s) on Runes Rune Magic & Rune meanings do you recommend? Thanks, Bill
PS - My mother was from Iceland.
So many books! The runes should be approached and understood personally, as Óðinn asks us in Hávamál/rúnatál. If you want to explore them for yourself, the oldest known interpretations and origins and sources could be of help for a start. 'The History Of Runic Lore' by Lars Magnar Enoksen (Scandinavian Heritage Publications, 2011) might be of help. Bought my copy on the Wardruna fansite a few years ago.
@@MrEnaric thanks
@@Hadrada. You are quite welcome. Good luck!
6:47 I believe you just drawn the Seto theme, they like to knit on their clothes. OwO
Thanks, man.
My pleasure hehe
I have a question and I figured this could be the place to ask.
Q: I'm looking for a good book on the runes , their backgrounds, mythos, and meanings in the most traditional and not mixed with all the Christian stuff added later or any of the new age woo woo stuff. I'm looking for the book to go with the elder futhark runes (English translation) . Not to insult anyone but I'm looking for as traditional and historical as possible translation/description and meanings, without all the made up new age stuff or other religious ideas mixed in. I've considered that I may have to write my own book on the meanings after looking only to find a bunch of nonsense that has very little to do with the traditional meanings and are instead a bunch of unfounded made up stuff from people who don't even understand the most basic things about the culture , traditions much less spiritual practices and just make up fantastical b's.
But I have a lot going on in my life right now and writing my own book will be far to time consuming at this point. I don't need the runes as I am making my own as the fates saw fit to bring me just what I needed without my asking . So if anyone thinks they know of such a book and would be kind enough to share your suggestions I would be quite thankful.
I thought I would share the story about how the pieces for the runes found themselves to me since I found it interesting and somehow tied to the fates.
I'll start by mentioning that my mother recently was able to buy some mostly wooded acreage and build a small home in the countryside near some glacial fresh water lakes where she loves to walk the shores. This past winter the ice,snow and storms ended up washing up stones not seen by humans in at least 500 years. So as she is out walking the shoreline she's finding all these beautiful stones flat with soft rounded sides, all formed by the movement of the water over countless years and generations. My mother was overtaken by the urge to start collecting a bunch of them of the same size and shape, not sure why at first but soon realized that she wanted to give them to me so that I found make my own set of elder futhark runes, but I hadn't said anything to her about my thinking about wanting to make my own, so she was working on sheer instinct.
I thought about how it all unfolded, how they came to me, where they come from and the significance of these things and couldn't ignore that gift. For them to come to me as an intuitive gift from my mother who against the odds finds these perfectly shaped stones that have been hiding from the modern world for so long only to be given up by the glacial lake ( not unlike the sacred waters that give up the runes to Odin).. I should mention that my mother's knowledge of our ancestral history is down right sad, she knows more about central and South America than her own people's culture,traditions,beliefs and lives, a rampant issue with so many people these days not knowing or having any connection to their roots. So she wasn't seeing the symbolic nature of many of these things until I was able to share what I knew and saw. There is a bit more that is very personal so I'm leaving that bit out , but let's just say that this as well as many other things were happening around this time. I was going through some dark times and things that I needed to know/understand were being revealed to me in some pretty interesting ways.
insightful a.f. much love.
Oh how I wish I could tell you of the standing rune meditations I have done with this Rune.
Why don’t you then?
Or try did you see Odin?
Thank you, sir!!!

Thank you
Hello Arith, is it possible you could make a video on how you pronounce Freyja in Scandinavian countries. Becuse I sa one of your videos about her but you said !I will pronounce for the sake of this video..." , so I am in doubt in how it's pronounced since my brother tells me it's pronounce different. Thank you in advance, hope it's not to much trouble.
For swedish it´s Freja, just dump the y and try to "roll" the r and you´re good to go. Norwegian pretty much the same i think. Danish and also southern sweden more of a "throaty" r but that´s not a big deal.
Hallo Mister Häger, I watched all of Rune Videos it was great pleasure, but i thought that Dagaz seems to be missing
So today I finally listened to othala and realized that I was very wrong. I'm sorry for that and I look forward to the last rune to come.
Thank you for all this wisdom you shared here with us
I disagree with you strongly on certain issues, but I do enjoy your channel. TY, Brother. Be well. 😊
I'm sure this is asked a lot but if someone knows the answer, is there any significant difference between the pronunciations Othala and Odal? what's the "correct" pronunciation and where did the two originate from?
You are a handsome and wise man. I'm really thankful for your videos.
You are very kind to say so ^^
@@ArithHärger honestly, I don't think you receive enough comments on your looks.
I don't want you to think I wasn't paying attention tho! Oh no. Is this what it's like to have a hot professor?
Could you recommend a few books, about nordic history and some about runes?
Arith, you share some great insights, with certain intelligence, and a large perspective.
This video also goes into your reading the exact words written by Ralph Blum in The Book of Runes. But I did not hear you give credit, and it seemed you read the words as if speaking spontaneously.
Can you please explain? Thank you.
Hello there! I do not have an "explanation" per se, as I find that highly unlikely, or at the very least mighty coincidental, but there may be an idea that can sort of explain what you are saying, if what you say is indeed the truth. Could you please point me out what were the words here said? I never read Ralph Blum, although I know he wrote a book in the 80s as an esoteric approach to the runes that has influenced many authors in the field of esoteric runology and occult. Even though I never read his work, I read many authors with such approaches that no doubt have been influenced by his work. The only possible scenario I see here is that, when it comes to esoteric approaches to the runes, it is so saturated that most of us end up saying the same/similar things in certain points. Although, I continue to find it unlikely I've said the exact same words of an author I never read. Similar words? Perhaps. My esoteric approach to the runes is based on the little information provided by the surviving runic poems + mythological and historical accounts and evidences that seem to reflect parts of the information for each poem dedicated to each rune + fitting it all into human daily and psychological aspects, and all of this constructs possible meanings when the runes appear in a rune reading. Again, please tell me what words were here said. Thank you.
Arith Blum really isn't up your alley anyway he is more of a copy paste to runes from tarot approach and is often credited with the creation of the blank tile which I know you don't use. I'm not saying Blum is wrong people use him successfully for their readings but it's just a different approach from what you do and you probably wouldn't find any useful information that would change your mind on how you read your rune pulls. I'm trying hard not to be bias but I'm not much of a fan of Blum.
How do you feel about the Ingwaz iteration that has both the hands+legs extending up/down from the "diamond"?
Be free of illusions; keep it real, old Cree saying.
Thank you for all the knowledge you’ve bringing to us.
Should a false sense of entitlement arise from Othala, balance it with "merit NOT inherit!"
Hi i haven't watched the series but i came here because othala appeared in a dream but How would I interpret runes that come to me in my dreams?
I see you have a copy of "The White Goddess" a wonderful book
the new ck3 games depicting the old norse religion as asatru could maybe do a video on why this is wrong if you have the time.
I would really like to learn more about runes that should be tattooed in use
Hope Dagaz comes soon!
I need dagaz ... can't wait ;)
Gostaria de ver esses vídeos com tradução e Português !!!
Love this vid
