We want a book from you not trying to sell beliefs but facts ! More seriously it would be great to have a Kind of summary of all your works in one book
This is the video I have waited for. Thank you. I have been laughed at, mocked, and shunned by modern Asatru for following a lunar calendar.
I'm American, of Scandinavian decent, and I've been binge watching this channel for days. This man is a gift to humanity.
When I took my first tentative steps into Northern paganism I was immediately stumped that most online sources gave the same holidays for celtic, norse and germanic cultures, i. e. the wiccan ones... I'm happy I didn't give up and ended up here!
its not contradiction...its called growing
The strangest story I’ve ever heard about Arith came from my mother. She was born in Sápmi before she met my father and came to live in Norway. She told that she had met Arith when she was 16 years old or so (she’s 57 now). She met a very old noaidi (sámi shaman) and they were in a group where the shaman was performing, and there were people there, including Arith Härger, my mother swears to it. When the sessions was over my mother asked the noaidi who were the people present there and the noaidi told her the names of everyone except for Arith, he said “his name cannot be spoken of now”. The noaidi told my mother that Arith was not actually among the “living”, or maybe he meant it quite literally. That he (Arith) was there and came at the end of his course (the noaidi) just as he (Arith) had been there in the beginning of his initiation (the noaidi’s). The noaidi told my mother that Arith had come when he was still a child, and was presented to him by his own grandfather (who had been a noaidi too) when he too was only a child. We are talking about a noiadi who was born in the early 19th century who met Arith. Well, the strange thing too is that the noaidi said Arith (or that spirit or whatever with Arith’s appearance) was there “at the end of his course”, and sure enough the noiadi died that year. I keep thinking about this and it’s so so weird man. I don’t understand this lol. My mother swears it’s the same person or at least the exact same face. She says the he disappears for a very long period and then comes back, or so the noaidi told her, like he is gone for several years and comes back, so I’m waiting for that to kind of happen, if he disappears all of a sudden without trace.
So my mother is wiccan and we celebrated those holidays when I was growing up. But she always encouraged me to learn about other religions and that she would support me no matter what I chose to believe. I adopted a norse spirituality because it's what I feel connected to most. I try to keep learning as much as I can, but I don't think I can give up the holidays I grew up with.
I have been teaching this for a long long long time, and I have been CLOBBERED for this. About time a big name person comes out and says this, though Dr. Andreas Nordberg is the major (not a Heathen) scholar that teaches this. His work confirmed it for me, but Ynglinga Saga chapter 8 was the start... I do not feel as alone now, but our Aldsidu group has been following the lunar calendar (or lunisolar calendar) for some time. My wife and four children (and my eldest son's fiance) in our family blots, have celebrated the three major blots on full moon for a number of years.
Protective rune garland is in the mail to my best friend, tree is lit, orange slices are baking for mulled wine later, and I'm embroidering some gifts while listening - perfection.
I am glad that you addressed in the beginning about growth and on-going learning leading to changes in previous thought/ truths. The more we learn and our perspective changes through personal experiences, what we may have thought at the beginning of the journey may not hold true as new information comes to light. Too many times people - especially on social platforms- seem to forget that growth is an important aspect of life. I may know a lot about a certain subject but I know there is always more to learn and that it may lead to changes in previous thought. Thank you.
I really appreciate learning the historical accuracy of pre Christian Northern European paganism. When I first started this pagan path, all of the books I read were from the Wiccan perspective and I’ve sought to find connections to the wheel of the years celebrations. It helps me better understand the mindset of my ancestors and to connect to and integrate this spiritual mindset to my modern life. Thanks for another great video!
This is not the only time I have heard all of this, and read it, but it is the most detailed and easily digestible version yet! Thank you for providing so much clarity!
The importance of recognizing that we can and must rethink our ideas, that is to grow! After all, we're intelligent beings!
I understood what you were saying, it's quite similar to our Hindu calendar as well which is also heavily dependent on moon cycles.
As an American born Swede this is the most important and useful information I’ve come across yet when trying to better understand authentic pre-Christian Scandinavian history. I especially appreciate your work surrounding Hela. Modern paganism and hearhenry never felt quite “right” and I’ve come to understand there are some legitimate reasons for this. I and my family cannot thank you enough for your devotion to truthfulness and facts. You have a devoted subscriber for sure!
😃 Gracias! A la vida y a usted señor Arith Harger por haber encontrado este canal, con tanta información que me gusta mucho.
I love your honesty with the difficulty of swallowing fact and talk about the swallowing process
Hello, Mr. Arith! Wednesday has finally arrived, it is in every way a good day of the week, thank you for making this day so pleasant, it is already part of my life, my schedule! Thank you.
Concerning Easter/Eostremanoth: the modern german name of this holiday is "Ostern" wich corresponds with the old frankish month name "Ostarmanoth".
