[@violenceislife1987]

thanks Arith! beginning my morning meditation...

[@dylanlandry4996]

Not for nothin tho that intro was pretty good

[@royalindication]

Can you please recommend me books about Norse mythology, Freya and seidr? I've trying to seek proper books and some are very general and expensive.

[@shroomedup]

I always press like after hearing the intro lol, not to say the content doesn't matter, just the intro resonates and makes me smile :)

[@ArithHärger]

Good to know! I plan on doing some more of those :p

[@molotulo8808]

I gain yet more vital knowledge concerning the Gods and Goddess of Asgard! Blessed are we who walk with the spirits of our Ancestors!

[@HomespunWisdom]

Hello Arith! Your videos are fascinating! I truly appreciate your most thorough approach in your lectures, including grammatical distinctions. Part history lesson, part language lesson, part cultural Spiritual practice description - and Great chanting too!

[@ArithHärger]

Thank you very much! I'me very happy to know you appreciate what I do ^^ cheers! have a great day!

[@garychynne1377]

humans intellectualize their madness in a great variety of ways. what we know is not taught. what we are taught is some one else's story. thank yew arith.

[@ArithHärger]

wise words my friend, as always :) we spend an awful lot of time hating on each other because the other person's delusions are wrong and our delusions are the right way, because it only makes sense to us and therefore it must be right? hehe

[@jesserichards5582]

Very true!

[@Sk1tz092]

These intros are so good. All the hair on the body raises and shivers are sent down the spine. So powerfully even tho I have no clue what is said

[@månedatter]

To get to this level of control of self is very difficult and takes a long time, but should be the singular endeavor of humankind.

[@teresafigueiredo]

Good morning Mr Arith What a good fleece again. Thank you for another great trip for this equally indtrutive and cultural theme! 🤗

[@ArithHärger]

and once again thank you for being here to watch this and giving me your supportive feedback :D cheers! have a great weekend!

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

Listening at bedtime gives way to interesting dreams. You're the best!🌈

[@ArithHärger]

I can only hope your dreams aren't ruined by my presence in them, hehe. Than you very much! :D

[@curtismiller8312]

Thanks you for sharing your lessons and love your drums. 🙏✌

[@ArithHärger]

Ah! Thank you so much my friend! Some of my drumming and "singing" might scare a couple of people, I've realized that, hehe.

[@martinobanassa]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. You obviously research extensively, and your insightful interpretations provide your viewers with factual, logical information about complex subjects. Thank you for your time and energy.

[@ArithHärger]

Thank you very much for your supportive feedback, know that it means a lot to me and helps me to cary on. Thank you! :D

[@soSo-ml8dv]

Thank you for this video .

[@christinagodbey9134]

I plan on watching everyone of your videos.

[@TheShamanKnight]

A very interesting video. Fascinating and instructive. Thank you very much and hello.

[@abbyk.6410]

This video has serendipitous timing for me! Thank you, this information is super hard to find even with my Google-ing skills. Also, I love your thumbnails and music intros!

[@nicholaschamberlain6239]

I seem to have 4 particular soul aspects and they're as followed: 1. Bear(the warrior) 2. Snake (cunning) 3. Wolf (hunter/teacher) 4. Raven (spiritual discipline, I think) I believe that is all that I have noticed.

[@stewartthomas2642]

Love your stuff kick on love it

[@stacya7204]

I love the music at the beginning ❤

[@lareddewyrd]

thank you, from the bottom of my heart 👁️

[@macksunnarborg33]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you for sharing your drum and chanting with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been drawn to the concept of the völva for a while and your videos have helped me to understand a great deal more than I could have learned on my own

[@iwatube5063]

Bless 🔱 Once again 🙏

[@illumi-naughty1478]

No other channel on KZbin describes such things in a more simple but effective way. Thanks so much.

[@tarenmauga9582]

Congrads on your subscriber milestone. Love your work

[@mark-remanHamilton]

Mimicing the animal tone and cadence of the geographic area in song is evocative. The arctic fox makes sounds that are high pitched and can be immitated with an animal bladder. Wolves you have got down. More ox noise please. Wealthy clans would have some metal clanking. This type of music could set me into an excape from the city life of today. Seems like a good place to go, but maybe not. 😃 Searching for more ancient music now.

[@wolfmauler]

Hello Arith. Haven't watched yet. YET, haven't been up for the moment you downloaded a video. Enjoyed your music! Hope you talk of the Wights!

[@onetree3476]

I wonder if people in physical form can also be the fylgja of a different aspect of self wanting grounding or a presence on this plane. So grateful for your work Arith! :)

[@historiayliteratura9292]

Hugin and Munin could be "helping spirits" which Odin sends forth his consciousness ?

[@warriorwellness333]

Appreciation and respect, brother. Curious to learn more about the pre-Christian stories or meanings of Fenrir and Jormungandr that may shed more light on their shamanic aspects and how this came to be revised under pressure from religion.

[@sonjagrguric1443]

You are very kind ! Very interesting! thank you

[@warriorwellness333]

Appreciation, brother for your studies and channels!

[@carriekopinetz8917]

Thank you 😁

[@fikkesuzan]

the introduction is incredible beautiful!

[@ZarriahRose]

I look forward to watching your videos so much! I will usually wake up and watch with my coffee and days I get to do that are really enjoyable. Thank you for such educational and well done videos on these topics!

[@leearellano5303]

Very well done ... educational and inspiring...thank you for this

[@colinp2238]

I love the expression "dimensions of the self," not to be confused with measurements of the shelf - a totally different topic. Come on arith we know it was you singing but the drum i suspect was Mr T getting out of control again. Probably too much mead.

[@ArithHärger]

As a matter of fact, my friend, Mr. T. is afraid of my singing and drumming. He is very brave, bue as soon as I pick up the drum he just knows... and runs off.

[@sevenis9712]

Oops did not finish my comments. This was a very informative video which cleared up a couple of items in my mind. Interestingly throughout my life I have had several wolf dreams where the wolf or wolves were directly speaking to me and sometimes in my face but not in a scary or threatening manner.

[@peremyshlin]

I'm so glad to find your channel! Thank you so much man. Serious talk about tradition, with no stupid New age blah-blah

[@congamike1]

The intro was fantastic! I want more! May I use some of that intro in my phone?

[@azur-faery5931]

Thank youuuu *_*

[@sevenis9712]

The haircut looks very nice along with the shirt!

[@theGothicTopic]

I can listen to you talk all day .. you should really should write a book about Norse religion and its shamanism .. then read it for the audio book.. so I can buy it to listen to it.. im not much of a reader lol.. side note: did you watch "the ritual" on Netflix? I quite enjoyed it..

[@ArithHärger]

I'm sure listening to me all day will provoke a terrible headache and you will end up having nightmares about me, hehe. Thank you for your kind words and support. Indeed some day I might finish one of the dozen books I've started writing but never had the time to finish them :p . . . Oh I do not have Netflix, what's "the ritual" all about?

[@danielkoppl7923]

Thanks for this...it gives the staff of aesculab or hermes , Both with serpents attached, some sense

[@Nocronomic]

You should corporate with a band called heilung. I think you both would benefit from it

[@universalsoundshifts911]

Your videos just keep getting more interesting Arith! This video made a whole bunch of experiences I have had so much more clear to me. I have some questions with regard to the Fylgja, hope you can answer them. :) 1) Can a Spirit also send his/her Fylgja to you (is this mentioned in the literature)? I have seen spirits send me this exact representation of whirlwinds, and I have seen myself send this out to others, so is this the same? I guess yes since, as you mentioned in the video, these spirits are in this (middle world) realm? (To me, if this happens, it feels as if spirit is performing healing on me by sending his Fylgja to my underworld and retrieve a soul part, memory or something along that line). 2) Is there any evidence that points to the Fylgja being treated as other spirits or gods? I.e. are offerings made to or statues made of one's Fylgja? Thanks again Arith!

[@Karen-tq6fb]

Omg! Hi Arith, When you mentioned the Volva sending out of her wand “an animal form “ or an “inanimate object” in the form of a ball of yarn, it flashed an image of the “myth “. Of the Minator!!! Is the myth true?

[@choywing1587]

Somehow my back stop aching afer your intro....

[@donotclicktheredbutton5616]

do you know anything about norse bloodmagic?

[@KelliePixieAshton]

I read somewhere that the fylgja is sort of a helper spirit that the seidr practitioner has from birth. Is there any truth to this? I like what you said about it being a kind of projectile

[@BadgerFireMoon]

Hey Arith can we get a list of Texts and what their about in one of the videos

[@BadgerFireMoon]

There are different voices of the vulva because her past present and future selves are speaking

[@pascalbaryamo4568]

Is a vølva the same as a seidkvinna? Or is the latter a modern word?

[@ArithHärger]

Seidkvina is a modern word meaning "seid-woman" literally "woman practitioner of seidr". The Old Norse term was "Seiðkona" and it means the same. Seiðkona (plu. "Seiðkonur") seems to have progressivily become a general term - since Christianization and in written sources composed by priests or skalds composing for Christian nobility - to refer to women "practitioners of pagan magic". Seiðr progressivily became the term to designate the general magic of women, unspecified magic, especially referred like this in the early medieval Icelandic society after Catholicism became the official religion in Iceland since the year 1000. But Seiðr used to be mainly a divination art, practiced by the völva, which was a prophetess, seeress or soothsayer, specifically. Heiðr was another term, to designate "sorceress" which might be in reference to a völva but from outside Old Norse society, probably Sámi and/or Finn. These women were also referred to as Vísendakonur ("wise women"), and Spákonur ("women o can do/make divination"). In later sources the Seiðkonur seem to be in reference to woman within Old Norse society who perform a spinning-weaving type of magic, knot-magic/string-magic most likely, similar to warlock. I'll have a future video about this, stay tuned, hehe.

[@pascalbaryamo4568]

Arith Härger you bet I will, your content is the best out here on anything related to Germanic paganism and magick!

[@alphaknight9539]

Hi, is there a way you can link me to all your seidr related videos. I’m wanting to learn unfortunately I have a hard time learning from reading

[@alexandrepinheiro8636]

Por favor poderia botar legenda em português

[@MrPandemicalert]

Gandir sounds alot like Odin spear name

[@CarolineVigneron71]

Have you ever considered seidr to have included possession/incorporation? Which is considered as "unmanly" by some adepts of possession cults? Mircea Eliade once stated that possession cults and shamanism are two different things but it seems he was wrong, or so say some authors such as IM Lewis (in "Ecstatic Religion").

[@S3PT1M1]

gotta ask, where do you get the adio clips for your intros XD

[@ArithHärger]

That's me, my voice, drum, bucket.

[@S3PT1M1]

@@ArithHärger oh right on! well your intros are always super cool and videos always super informative, keep up the good work. i appreciate the more historically verifiable approach to the subjects as well, can be hard to seperate fact from recreation when looking into youtube pegans

[@eavaharris3519]

As you explain...my thoughts are of a horse...I don't know why...

[@colinp2238]

Horses are representatives of the soul in some cultures.

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

I viscerally recall transforming into a running horse a few years ago in a powerful dream. I'll never forget. As a child I asked Santa for a horse every. Single. Year.😂 The heart knows.

[@jtalbot34]

The horse can mean a spiritual journey most often the Völva will call on Odin’s horse Sleipnir to take them safely into Hel and return after completing their intended mission there. Sleipnir is the child of Loki and Svadilfari therefore can come and go to Hel.

[@riot.9]

I wonder what use there would be for shaman nowadays when ppl don't believe in this stuff anymore. Well, some do, but mostly not.

[@ToqTheWise]

"Heith they named her | who sought their home, The wide-seeing witch, | in seið wise; Minds she bewitched | that were moved by her seið, To evil women | a joy she was." -Völuspá 22 "They say that with spells | in Samsey once Like witches with charms didst thou work; And in witch's guise | among men didst thou go; Unmanly thy soul must seem." -Lokasenna 24 "Odin understood also the art in which the greatest power is lodged, and which he himself practiced; namely, what is called magic. By means of this he could know beforehand the predestined fate of men, or their not yet completed lot; and also bring on the death, ill-luck, or bad health of people, and take the strength or wit from one person and give it to another. But after such witchcraft followed such weakness and anxiety, that it was not thought respectable for men to practice it" -Ynglingasaga ch. 7 Seiðr is black magic, it was condemned by the Gods as it was deemed unmanly and harmful to our folk. It is nith for which even Odin himself was cast out of Asgard. Whoever's reading my words, I pray you don't allow this effeminate witch who worships the son of Laufey to taint your soul with such perverse acts.
