Mushroom mead music and joy tis the way to the otherworlds of being a girl or boy

The hole story had me looking sideways 😂 ❤🇮🇪🤘

Given how close his name is to the likes of Licht, Luke, and Logan it makes sense

Love your stories, just found you! Just a odd comment, love your tats as well!! Any story you care to tell? Thanks!

I enjoyed this very much! Thank you!

I would highly recommend Taliesin's Map's recent video on Cernunnos, connecting him to Dearg Corra, Gwythyr ap Greidawl, Actaeon, Kurunta, and Daksha (Shiva's rival) via uncanny mythological synchronicities. Odin and Shiva (a.k.a. Fionn) is apparently the rival of this deity, and their conflict takes place during the May Day transition of powers and influence. It's very tempting to classify Cernunnos as Pashupati ("Lord of Animals"), but this is a name of Rudra/Shiva whom is never depicted as horned and infact is holding a deer in many depictions. Prajapati ("Lord of Creatures (as their Creator)"), however, does take the form of an antelope, as does his lower "Skilled Sacrificer" emanation, Daksha, when being pursued by Shiva just as Fionn pursues Dearg Corra, Gwynn after Gwythyr, Artemis (twin of Apollo = Rudra) after Actaeon, Kumarbi (= Saturn/Cronus = Rudra) after Kurunta.

Gorgeous video! I loved hearing about your experiences and look forward to reading some of those book recommendations. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom! <3

very informative

Sigurd walked so that St. George could run.

UAP encounters are the modern Fey experiences.

Long live the bards! Keep telling tales, and we'll keep eating them up. Who knows, perhaps some of us will tell these tales to others, who will tell tyem to others, who will remember them to their grandchildren long in the future, to a different world and new ears... and connect the old to the new.

You need to watch Beltane in Glastonbury we was there it was amazing 😊

History is interesting

Tyr is Ares/Mars. Odin is Hermes/Mercury. Thor is Zeus/Jupiter. Freya is Aphrodite/Venus. Loki is Cronus/Saturn. Probably.

Well christians just make stuff up as they go along 😅😅😅

Hey man, do you have a Morrigan deity tracker planned?

The brothers greeting the gnome one after another feels so ancient and vivid that it feels woven into humanity's DNA. And no, I cannot explain that.

Quick question or two. Was Lammas not the christian version of Lughnasadh? We still have the Lammas Fair in Ballycastle, Northern Ireland every year. Something I was taken to as a child but cannot do now due to disability. Also you say the slaying of Lugh or as you called him the "Corn God" was tying into the ressurection of Jesus. Would that not be the other way round?

A shamanic story of him tells how he aquired his magick. He stole it from an elf who found him near to death and healed him. After convalescing and fully recovering he sacrificed the elf with the help of a demon by throwing him in a fire. He is given that power by that fire demon. You can tell that an individual of such cold hearted cruelty was/is disliked so intensely by the Aesir.

He is a Trickster Solar God, equivalent of Vishnu. The Norse were as Indo-European as the Hindu and God is God - the stories of each are about the same energy based *real* beings. They are both extensions of the proto-Getae, primordial Wolf-like tribes of beings in ancient pre-Neolithic Romania and surrounding. Compare 'Building of the Asgard Walls' with the 'Churning the Milk of the Ocean'. They are the same cosmic event! In both, there is a contest where maleficent beings are involved on purpose, and in each one the maleficent beings end up cheating and trying to win everything falsely. In both, the Trickster pulls a Naruto style "sexy jutsu" and turns into a hot girl version, to distract the enemy to steal the prize back. In both of them, the goal is to build a protection for the Gods that will last for eternity - the potion for the Hindu, the walls for the Norse. Queen Hel is a femme presentation of Lord Shiva. Shiva is Ardhanarishvara - the King who is Half-Queen. Queen Hel is the same, half a dead skeleton man, and half a living Sorceress. To understand the Norse, seek to understand the Hindu. God is God, only the story changes.

Loved the crow in the intro. It invoked magician vibes. "Don't want your cat to piss on your rug" tee hee. Didn't know you could petition for that. Thanks for the dive on Loki.

Thank you.

Loki. The only intellectual amongst the Aesir.

WAIT! I thought Marvel portrayed him as a weak,back stabbing, sissy boi? Isn't that true? Hollywood would NEVER LIEEEE!!!¡

You hell-P€D patch sum SUMARIAN woman's "his" Stories, Crow... "Kiss of Death, Judas" is my euCHaRist. .ty LiLiTHs' son kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH_FhoiJqs54ntEsi=MT8bWqAntNWusS2H These aren't the days of no ah... 🐝🐝

Thank you once again for your hard work love listening to you telling all these interesting stories x

hes both (if ya nasty)

It my 21 birthay just had bonfire got very stoned and drunk

The more I listened to this, the more I thought about him being a land spirit ( intuition maybe? ) Loki is a fascinating character and the video is very thought provoking. By the way I love the crow ❤

He's probably a fire god in some very indirect ways he's considered in the same vein as utgaard Loki who was an enchanter and Illusionist in that story so I think of Loki as very much the norse god of adolescents and probably has more to do with heat hazes and flickering flames then blazes and torches if you get my meaning he has a kind of jinn energy despite being in another part of the world a positive aspect of him might have been something like the tooth fairy where childhood tokens were cast into the fireplace as offerings so that he would look after the children as I grew up in transitioned towards young adulthood

interesting video. one note, Prometheus was not sent to Tartarus like other Titans, he was bound on mount Khazbek which was once an active volcano, now dormant for thousands of years. Many local fire stealing heroes are said to be bound there, but not Amirani who everyone associates with Prometheus, yet being diametrically different heroes, Amirani never even steals fire. one interesting note is that we in Georgia have a very similar fairy tale to Ash Lad, I even made a christmas video re-telling. the figure, Natsarqeqia or Ash digger or ash-raker who is a similar trickster figure who swindles ogres from their castle. Strange finding such similar characters in such far away cultures. My Wild theory on Loki is that it was an older figure, Indo-European local spirit, "adopted" into Asir family of gods because he was useful, but still kept as an outsider.

On gods being 'gods of x,' it is wortj noting there is often a diagetic distinction. Eg, the Olympians are personalities; this is contrasted with the Titans, primal beings of various phenomenon or large physical structures (kind of like major _genius loci),_ and the Protogenoi (Primordials) who are their respective phenomenon, essences, or objects personified (eg Nyx is not the goddess of night, she literally _is_ Night). The Aesir are personalities foremost, with some of the more major entities of different groups (eg Surtr of the jotunns) being closer to Titans. There is some reason to suspect that Hermes and Pan are a bifurcation of a single earlier deity. While this is highly speculative, I have mused for a while that Pan maps onto the zodiacal sign of Capricorn pretty well (one aspect of it, anyways), and I have argued for years that Odin fits far better as a Saturnian figure than a Mercurial figure, leaning towards its Capricorn expression (Capricorn being the entry to the afterlife, exaltation of Mars, esoteric altered states of consciousness, navigating the structure of reality to achieve the seemingly impossible, fathers and judgement, meloncholy and doom, etc). I likewise argue Loki is better understood as Mercurial. Tangentially, the other domicile of Saturn is Aquarius, which maps right onto Prometheus. The _genius loci_ of the land Asgard is built on is an interesting proposition; the personality gods were often construed in their sign of exaltation, and Mercury's exaltation in Virgo (the mutable earth sign) is unique in being the only planet whose exaltation is in a sign it rules. I think it is likely more that Loki is something along the lines of change and crafty trickery of which fire is one form in much the same way Prometheus gave fire to humans while lacking any inherent connection to fire itself. Notably, Prometheus is likely _not_ a standard Indo-European diety and likely spread independently from the general PIE invasions. We also get fire given to humans from non-fire entities or non-divine entities in other cultures, such as a bird or spider in much of the Americas north of modern Mexico.

What a beautiful tale👏

❤men made Loki into a Shapeshifter… That means that he is much-much older than Thor and other north gods.

Interesting ideas probably closer to the mark than what is circulating on the web.

Loki possibly appears on the 7th-century Nordendorf fibula from Bavaria, Germany, as "Logaþore" alongside Wodan and Wigi-Þonar. This would mean that he is at least of Proto-Germanic origin. Great video as always!

Hol up, I thought this was just a mistake OSP made a while back when discussing the eddas, if loki was a fire god how was he beaten by logi? At the most I recall Loki being closely connected to hearths or forges thanks to the story of how thor got hi hammer in which the dwarvs sew loki's mouth shut. Often stones depicting that would b placed at the bellows or something right? however I don't think thats enough to call him a firegod when a god of change fits much better for him. (edit) Okay damn, a lot of the things I was thinking were brought up, I did consider the controlled vs wild fire thing, and the idea of Loki being a wildfire that was domesticated by the gods as a force of necessary change is really fascinating.

Interesting analysis and overview ❤ love the videos you produce.

LOL, why not both? Ask Sigyn for the answer, I'd say. Hail Loki, my patron!

Excellent and so neatly encapsulated. I'd love to see you and Janina Ramirez discussing Scandi mythology together.

Really well done, thank you!

🦉

If Loki is a fire god, I see a lot of connection to Lugh.

yes he is a fire god, the god of fire insults. 😂 thanks for this one, lokis tales are always classics. and i have heard someone that is a norse pagan describe loki as a “spark” as in the catalyst for a change of states of being and that mistranslation is where he thought the fire god myth comes from. this is coming from a position of seeing loki as the god of sudden changes aka chaos that the people of the viking age and earlier saw as a nuisance rather than a god. and that “land spirit of asgard” makes so much sense and ive never heard it before. thanks again for another great video.

Brilliant again. Thanks 👌
