Hello ..I broke free from a religious cult 5 years ago after 40 years indoctrination . I set off on a new journey to find myself . My father had bright red hair and was as strong as an ox , mentally and physically …I always felt an affinity with Celtic , Viking things . At last I found Nordic My..theology ……it feels like home !!!! Love this channel and subscribed . Love from West Yorkshire U.K.
@Sweden (Sverige) I was a Jehovah’s Witness
The Picts were known for their bright red hair. Less is known about them as the Scots became the prevailing tribe. Charlemagne took all of our history and religion. Good luck on your new journey!
Skjalden your current subscriber count does not do justice to your content. Keep up your good work :)
Thanks, Asa Hamarrhjarta :)
i guess it is kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Samuel Chaim i would suggest Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Samuel Chaim lately I have been using flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
Excellent video. Beautiful season wheel. I could suggest counter-clock-wise (or rather moon-wise). As the Moon moves left each night at the same hour as observed from the northern hemisphere.
I expected the wheel to go counter-clockwise. It looks like the charts I use in Western Sidereal Astrology, where the Sun Signs and Houses go counter-clockwise around the circle.
I am really pleased that I came across this channel. I am tired of Marvel versions of Aesir and blond Thor I want to learn facts and folklore. This channel certainly provides all that and more.
I am glad that you have enjoyed the videos :)
Professor Jackson Crawford's RUclips lectures are good too!
Sarah Gray Yes I also have his books
colin Paterson Well tbh personally I really like the marvel version, but I definitely agree with you, this is much much better!

Really really cool video!
2 seasons is just like here in Northern Michigan. It stops snowing in mid May. And starts again in early October. We don’t get many in between season. It’s cold as hell, or it isn’t. And even “warm” or “hot” here is about 65°+

As my mother was full Danish, I find it interesting that the family name was always taken from the mother. Not until my grandfather and grandmother married in the US did this change. My grandmother and her mother always had a myrrh "tree". I've met Icelandic friends which have kept their history better than the mainland. The lunar month is interesting in itself as very few peoples used it.
Very helpful, thank you.
Thanks, ERIS, I am glad you liked it :)
Fun and interesting writings that appear here and speculations.
I am Icelandic, but my grandfather (name, James Hoggard Chadwick and my grandmother is Icelandic).
The Christmas holiday in Icelandic is "Jól"
Saturday in Icelandic is "Laugardagur" Laugar is a plural for many pools in Iceland to bathe in.
Celebrating "Þorrablót" is a custom in Iceland. We eat food according to an old tradition and is considered very good, especially the shark.
Just a little remark by me : in Bulgarian language we also use name of the Moon for month - we say " месец" which come from " месечина " = Moon .
Thank you from the heart !!Excellent video !! Big hug to you !!
Thank you, Alexa, a virtual hug for you as well
Thank you. Succint, informative. Well delivered.
Awesome!!
love your work man.
Thanks, Kevin :)

great video
Thank you, Dark Steel :)
In the Netherlands we have a celebration too. It's called Sint Nikolaas. Who gives presents to children that behaved well that year. And this figure is infact the Christian transation of Wodan. He rides his horse (Sleipnir ) over the roofs of houses in company of some black figures we call Zwarte Pieten ( Black petes) . Now one can only assume that they wore his two crow companions as in our Pagan history!

Very interesting video thank you. I am left with questions and wanting to know more.
Firstly if the months followed the lunar calendar surely there would be 13 months most years and the months would travel through the solar year so wouldn't be able to be specifically affiliated to summer or winter. How does this system work logistically?
Secondly was it the Norse that derived the seven day week or was that universal at the time? Did this purposefully tie into months as a lunar month is loosely 28 days?
Thirdly is the implication that Odin is the original Father Christmas?
Stephen. I think the 7 day week was quite universal. But it is Germanic / Norse language that is responsible for the English names of weekdays today, except Saturday. I think it was like this: when the Saxons, the Frisians, and from Denmark the Angles and Jutes settled in England in the 5th century, they brought with them the names of the days. Then, when the Roman Catholic Church came to England, they couldn’t accept "Laugdag" which meant bathing day. The Catholic Church saw it is a big SIN to be "vain" because then you put yourself before Jesus. So they probably banned the week name "Laugdag" and replaced it with the Roman name "Saturday" which by the way was pagan as well, as the Romans also had kept their old names for weekdays. I guess it took quite a while, because you just don’t replace a word used for hundreds of years with another from one day to the other. But in my view, it is the only logic explanation why a pagan roman god sneaked into the Norse, and also that it was precisely this one and not another one. Monks actually bragged about that they haven’t been washed for years..... and the Catholic church bashed the "heathens" that is the Vikings who came 350 years after the first wave, for their "disgusting habit of bathing often, their luxurious clothing, their fashion in hairstyle with bare necks and blinded eyes, and obsession with combing their hair often" and so on. The problem was that the ladies in England actually liked nice handsome clean men for a change, so they ran away with the Vikings, "married women and even daughters of noblemen, causing unrest in the whole country" as the church wrote in angry letters. The church became even more furious when English noblemen including royals, began to imitate the Vikings. I have read a lot of contemporary writings of this “huge” problem for the church, it is quite hilarious. .
About Santa, nobody seems to agree about the origin. “Yule” was a pagan feast in December, amongst other things to celebrate Odin. We don’t use the word “Christmas” in the Nordic countries, but still the old name “Yule” just spelled slightly different but pronounced the same way, “Jul” or Christmas time = “Jule tid” :-)

cool to see the wheel of the year!
very interesting, can you please tell me about bibliography?
Where is the captioning at so us deaf people knows what is being said.
Ripperoni
Is it possible (probable?) that Laugdag or 'bathing day' was originally according to the moon? Every quarter moon phase and then it got added to the 7 day week when the Danes were forcibly Christianised? As a preparation for going to Church on sunday.
this is realy awzome! I've never heard about this,
what is your sources for this? I would love to read more about it!

thank yew
I figured friday was freys day or possibly freya but this is good to know
You mentioned a 13th month. What was it's name?
The 13 month is only a speculation by some people, as far as I could find in my research, there are no names for it.
Mycket intressant!
I love this! Why was Yule linked to earth cultivation if it was so cold out though?
I think by cultivation they mean ‘seed planting’ (sowing). We plant trees in the winter for instance.
Winter Wheat's ancient predecessor and other grains were not planted in the Spring. Also, like he says above, trees were and still are often planted in the Winter.
if I understand correctly for the months to align with the solar year, you would have to insert a 13th month about every third year.
Yep, like in the Jewish calendar.
My theory when it comes to saturday, lördag in Scandinavian languages. I Think that is had something to do with Hlödyn, earth Jord in Swedish the mother of Thor. Mother Earth.

Lördag comes from the old word Løgh or Löga which means to wash or bath. Lördag is "washing day"
Fascinating information, thanks Skjalden i'm not a fan of the meat products bit as a vegetarian however I enjoy learning all I can about my ancestors.
I am glad that you like the videos crowsbaneful, and i doubt most people who enjoys meat would enjoy that meal :)
Well, crowsbaneful, have you considered the fact that the reason why your ancestors ate so much animal products might have something to do with the fact that plant-based foods simply aren't that readily available for half the year in Scandinavia? I actually got really sick the time I tried eating a vegetarian diet, because one of the legacies of my Norse ancestors was a limited ability to process non-heme iron. Even though I have gone back to eating meat I need weekly iron injections, which is an absolute pain in the neck because I have to bus in to town once a week to get them, and sit in the Medical Day Treatment centre for an hour with a tube sticking out of my arm! If you choose not to eat meat, it's your business, but go get your hemoglobin count checked!
@@sarahgray430 Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sorry that you have health problems now. Like you, I have to eat meat. Tried various vegetarian diets but couldn't stand them for long. People need to stop pushing specific diets on everyone; it's not one size fits all when it comes to nutrition.
@@Historian212 You are welcome. A lot of people don't seem to be aware of this genetic factor but it is fairly common among Native and Inuit people and a little less common in some parts of Europe. Basically it's best to eat less processed food based on what is available locally.
What's the significance of the ubiquitous use of 12 in everything in the ancient world up till today? There doesn't _have to be_ 12 houses in astrology... Eggs don't have to be sold by the dozen... Last time I checked I have 10 fingers, though I remember reading that the ppl of antiquity counted on their fingers, but used their knuckles and that is 12... Is it an artifact of some control mechanism that straight jackets all of us that we're never told about or the way ppl used to count on their knuckles? I always assume malevolence until proven otherwise.
Roasted sheep's head, blood pudding and head cheese sound quite delicious, thank you very much...but I might pass on the harkarl shark, because it's one of the few foods that even Arnold Zimmerman could not choke down!
Sarah Gray are you confusing Arnold Zimmerman for Andrew zimmern from bizarre foods?...
@@rexultimatum2588 sorry...a bit of a typing error. Yes, I was talking about the guy from Bizarre Foods. I like how he encourages people to enjoy local and traditional foods rather than a bland modern "Western" diet.

wod means wood. Wed means join as in wedding.
I wonder why a universal 7 day week? Have you done a video on Hell?
It's Greco-Roman so Christianity, Christianity has dominated the world hasn't it.
Couldn't Saturday be from Surtr?
I would find it strange if the people worthshipped the Jotuns by giving them a day of the week.
Saturday comes from Saturn. Söndag in swedish (day of the sun).
afternoobtea Yes Saturday comes from the roman god Saturn. But in scandinavia we call it lørdag/lördag which means bathing day from the old norse laug... with no connection to any gods. Saturday is the only day that diverge in English from scandinavian name giving days. But sunday is like the scandinavian søndag/söndag - The day of the sun.
I don't know it true but Saturday in danish is called Lørdag and i have always been told that that means lauda mening day for washing.

Wow the Real Nordic Culture Beliefs and Traditions and not Hollywood make-up of Bullshit and illusions
I thought that santa was some how connected to Odin! Thank you!
I was born in Women's month 💜
And in Swedish, Christmas is actually called "Jul" from the word "Yule". You pronounce it almost exactly thesame, except that you leave the "E" sound out.
