From guttural overtone singing. To melodic chanting mantras. Vocalization is universal. I found out I can do Kargyrra, a very deep throat singing and it somehow reverberates in the woods and in open spaces well. Its more like a controlled sustained cough, thats the best way I can describe it.
Jacob singing is one step closer on his journey to just becoming Tom Bombadil Love when we all get these synchronicities and same wavelengths, I also tried invoking the 4 dvergar of the directions in my last group ritual and am liking the results
This reminded me of a dream I had a while back. I was standing in a empty attic, looking up at the ceiling and I began to sing and all of a sudden this beautiful golden light came through the ceiling down on to me. I believe what you say, our voices are powerful.
I am pleased that you pointed out that the myths of old were not meant to be canonical and written on stone tablets. That is the way literalists gatekeep and it is not how the myths work in oral tradition.
It's a really interesting thought, that spirituality is meant to be orally passed down. It makes sense. I'm very glad people did write everything down because we would have lost so much otherwise, but I think you're right and it's a good idea for us to begin the oral traditions again.
Thanks Jacob, I agree with you. The strength of the voice is enormous. Thanks to whoever wrote we have the knowledge, but the real knowledge was passed down from mouth to ear.
Another thing to note is that each of us has a unique voice. Not one voice is the same, so I think bringing in that added perspective makes the use of our voices in our practices that much deeper and personal. ❤
The other day I sang the runes to an antler that I made into a drum mallet as I waved sage smoke onto it and it was a really special experience. Great video Jacob! I agree that we have to be willing and able to talk to each other, even if we don’t all share the same worldview.
I am so glad you brought up the point that the stories as they were told from Skald to Skald might have changed slightly...but the Spirit of the story often remained the same. The point of the stories was to evoke a memory and/or moral and each Skald did what was most effective for their listeners. I believe in the ability of the Gods to transfer their inspiration to the Skald...especially the Shaman /Healer type people in the tribes of the world. The Shamans walked between the worlds and the Gods appeared to them EXACTLY as the Shaman needed to see them so the knowledge being transferred could be understood as familiar. With that in mind...I believe the universal connection to the Gods was through Nature! Birds sing, wolves howl, bees buzz, the trees rustle in the breeze, thunder crashes...all are the sacred voice of Nature :) It is only appropriate for us to sing, and tell our stories to honor all the Great Spirits! I too call out to Nordri, Sudri, Austri, and Vestri before rituals! (Amy and Miguel inspired me to start doing that early this summer). Awesome video Jacob! Thank you!
Voice is a musical instrument too, one of the few available in the old days. We got disconnected to it the same way we got disconnected to nature and our own body. Is something we should reclaim back 😊 Totally agree with the bit about fixating on details. Faith wasn't exactly the same everywhere in ancient times and being considered something more personal I think it was much more fluid.
Jacob, I love this video of yours. I am pausing at 7:36 to say that you have expressed this same passion before! I remember a video a while back where you said to be poetic with your words, example "Odin's ravens must be watching", something that brings mystery but also honors the past. I feel what you are doing here expands upon this. We do not have to be fully accurate to the stories, but its the lessons and guidance we need to focus on.
100%. Celt, and not just by choice, lol. Been a practioner a very long time, and have always used music and voice to raise energy. Full disclosure, I've also been a singer my whole life (fake rock star in bands for 20+ years, on and off, unfortunately mostly off these days). But I have always felt somehow through song, through music, "they" can hear us, and appreciate it, and it indeed makes you feel more connected to the spirit realm, the unseen, I guess. Music is one of humanities best forms of expression and emotion, there is nothing else quite like it. And its different for everyone, but all have their own "magical songs"...as I do. Love your stuff, just great. Stay well and thank you. 🌞🌚🌌☮
You truly hit the nail on the head with this one. The might of the voice goes back thousands of years, and it all starts with the first language. Outstanding work here!
Im so inspired by you actually talking more about the spirit and living tradition of spoken story telling vs. literal or linear historical details. It feels like you're breathing new life into what our ancestors were actually up to and why we would even care today. Great video! And great take on the use of the voice to connect with the traditions!! This is why I connect with paganism and shamanism! To connect with a way of life that fills me and others back up with wisdom and life force. Connecting to our land, our ancestors and each other. Just experimented more with this recently while doing a house clearing and brought in the four directions through the archangels (how I've been taught to honor the breath of life) and singing each of their names. Powerful experience for me. Glad to hear others are calling on this connection. Keep up the awesome explorations of these traditions and sharing of wisdom! Loving it!!
Not the first time your videos have been synchronistic for me, but I took a break from RUclips and have been working on voice as well as a few other imbalances with therapies. Funny coming back to this being my first recommended. Thanks for the video. Skol!
Thank you for the video! I love all the work you do. I have to agree with you, if you look at someone you know who has told the story a million times, the tiny details tend to change but the big points of the story tend to stay the same. I can see this and you make an excellent point. I see a lot of the fighting in Norse groups over the little details. I also have not looked at it like this and I could see this being more a natural thing they would do. Keep up the good work!
Lmao the intro 😂 this video is great. I sang out during contractions a lot, like my voice was just booming. "What color are Odin's eyes" lol right?? Definitely blue and I'll destroy a mf who think otherwise 😤
I think you are v much on to something! + since you told me directly to comment, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for being on youtube when Odin + then Freya recently began to speak to me. Watching your videos really helped ground what I was experiencing in real-world life. I like your approach v much. I'd also like to say, in the video where you lightly mocked them, that was definitely Loki smacking your camera down 😅 Thanks for your content, + i hope you are having the time of your life wandering around pagan Europe 💚🖤
@jacob I am newer to the channel but have found your group to be a huge connection to my path…. With this… I’m trying to find your book to purchase and cannot, so any directive help would be awesome thanks
yur on to something jacob for me ive been pagan for 3 yrs now i dont know everything about the gods and goddesses or norse pagan but im really wanting to know more about them and start going to gatherings so i can get to know more about the gods
What a weird coincidence (or synchronicity). This is the second time this month I've heard someone say that the passing of verbal information was due to / or in part of the idea that if we wrote it down it would degrade our memory of it. Now, totally logical... but (and I'm not challenging you on this, I just want to know lol) where does that idea originate? How can it be traced as factual? Is there anything you (or anyone) can provide a link to figure out the origin of the idea?
Enchantment comes from the word chant. We got many aryan stanzas from different aryan roots for we to change this horrible reality. Avestas, Eddas, Rig Veda, Greek sources. Chanted of course in the original language has a power effect in our reality and the spirit of our people. Shaman, Cacique, Sakhai, Singer, galic (gallius/cock) for those of us who study linguistics, are in fact the same word. A magician that modifies reality trough chanting.

We have so much to catch up on 😂

Agreed! My kiddo and I always sing when we walk through the woods. Great way to connect and liven up the spirits.

As a poet and spoken word performer, I so appreciate your bringing attention to the power of voice! Yes! ❤

Such a fascinating video and you are totally onto something! Celtic pagan here. Love your content. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Don’t forget to sing 🌲!
I completely agree, communication and collaboration is so important. We must not lost it. It's fun.
Voice is a musical instrument too, one of the few available in the old days. We got disconnected to it the same way we got disconnected to nature and our own body. Is something we should reclaim back 😊 Totally agree with the bit about fixating on details.

I actually really love this video. I totally get what you are saying. I look forward to what’s next.

@@Mr.Atari2600 YOU DUMMKOPF! FLUNKEN HARRIGE FLUUT!
That was such a beautiful message! The power of the voice so unique and important. ❤

Welcome back! Lots of great videos this year to check out 🎶
The power of the voice is something I understood from Celtic mythology. But I never really found a way to apply it. You've given me some ideas.
Australian Aboriginals have used Songlines for millennia as a way to carry stories. Music is Magic!💖

Love the elder scrolls reference. I’m locked in already
Fuuus!
Love this.❤
Thank you 💯
Thanks for the content you are helping me on my journey just wish there was a chapter in the state of Washington.
Lmao the intro 😂 this video is great. I sang out during contractions a lot, like my voice was just booming. "What color are Odin's eyes" lol right?? Definitely blue and I'll destroy a mf who think otherwise 😤
You learned a very specific and ancient dragon shout!
The power of the voice is the power to transfer ideas. Ideas are the most powerful weapon one has.
I think you are v much on to something! + since you told me directly to comment, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for being on youtube when Odin + then Freya recently began to speak to me. Watching your videos really helped ground what I was experiencing in real-world life. I like your approach v much.

Brother we are Thankful for you, may the Gods continue to guide you Skäl.
Well i cannot carry a tune in a bucket but goog at shouting and screaming 🇬🇧
Nothing wrong with sounding like a sea gull 😂
I do believe that there is an untapped power within the voice. Oral history has a special magic to it.
I know this channel is Primarily Norse Paganism,would be cool to see a video on Slavic paganism/Rodnovery. Nonetheless keep up the good work!
Life is long. And I don’t plan on going anywhere. One day 👍🏻
I believe in the power of the voice and I sing karaoke song lyrics

Do a history about native Americans and their beliefs and deities
Hopefully one day!
