Interesting.When my son,who I had named after my grandfather, was three we traveled across the country to visit my grandma. When we got there he said "I remember this place. I used to fly in these woods." We had cremated grampa and threw his ashes from a cliff in the woods behind the house.

I've learned to recognise the feeling of familiarity from the past. I think it's probably the main reason for people getting the strange feeling in old places... but in the modern mindset they think it's a ghost rather than an instinct. A polar bear in a zoo can recognise the snow, even if he's never seen it before. Marie Cachet and Varg turned me into all this. Details aside, its nice to see a KZbin who isn't just larping and is in the old mindset. If this way of thinking was to be unlocked on mass, then this horror era will slowly end.

[@mikecarmichael5743]

hi Norse brother I wrote a bit of reincarnation, I am Buddhist for over 40+ years. In the post that I wrote about rebirth , the theme was about heavenly realms. I answered that but that is of course only positive karma , can lead to heavenly realms. here is a short over view on Karma Buddhism is a cause and effect teaching ( yes much more also but this is a short over view) Karma means deed ( like to do) so there is good karma , neutral karma and bad karma. making good karma one gets positive results , making bad karma one gets negitive results. Vipāka (Sanskrit and Pāli) is a Buddhist term for the ripening or maturation of karma (Pāli kamma), or intentional actions. the common people say, make karma and get karma. if you make good karma you will get positive results in this life for the next life, you can even raise to a a heavenly realm if you have lots of good karma if you make lots of bad karma you will recieve bad results in this life or in the next live, even going to a realm of suffering so make good karma, which is good for you and good for others, and try not to make bad karma, which is bad for you and bad for others. to end the suffering one must not be reborn at all , all karma must be finished , no more ripening or maturation of karma, then you are totally free from rebirth. May all living creatures be happy and free from suffering regards Mr Michael Carmichael PS this brother is a Celt, smile

[@bjornekdahl721]

Great video! Another idea: Considering that (Indo)Europeans always have lived close to the spiritual leader (not the least because communities were small) there must've been rites of passage, like the Vedic 'samskaras'. If we listen to 'He who must not be named' one of them was for the child to enter the grave of the ancestors at the age of 7 or 8, to sort of 'become' him/herself (i.e. the ancestor). It would be interesting to dig deeper in what we know about rites of passage among the Germanic tribes. If you want I can help with information as research and ideas. All the best / Björn

My oldest however was born with a birthmark on their waist, eerily similar to a knife stab wound.

Interesting. Reincarnation has always resonated with me. There are things I just knew way too young that freaked my mother out. When I was born it was common practice to anesthetize the mother so deeply that a doctor was required to drag the baby out. I have scars on both sides of my head to this day (age 62) from the forceps that were used. My father named me after Greek mythology, and my sister after Roman. My brother got the 4th generation male name, and he's the only one that seems to call back to someone I can say, yes, he's that guy. Me, I could be any one of several up either line. That I "could not possibly know that" (I remember being told), sort of says my mother's line. But they raised me and told me the stories, so who knows if I came with it, or I'm remembering my grandmother's stories. Those who could tell me are gone, especially about the scars and marks, and confirm the stories.

[@prepperinireland2240]

Really interesting video, many thanks for refreshing common sense and sharing actual sources, not just unmitigated personal gnosis. I did wonder about the names, and if the naming of the child for an esteemed ancestor was intended to bring about the reincarnation of that ancestor or at the least, to imbue the baby with the good attributes of the ancestor. Also the naming. You're right about modern names btw. As for birthmarks, I have the "family birthmark" passed down through the female side, a particular shaped mark always in the same spot on every female in my family on the right wrist. I don't know exactly what it means but an interesting thing (for me, sorry!) is that my DNA takes me back to, amongst other sources, two Viking Age warrior burials in Iceland. One was Icelandic, the other was Irish (which is also interesting to me from an amateur historian's pov) and the Icelander had a severed right hand which rested next to the sadly unrecoverable remains of a sword.

[@idapavloff97]

Finally, someone acknowledges the reincarnation in our ancestral religion. Since childhood when I first learned of Valhalla and Fólkvangr, I've always seen those as places where whom die in battle go and then reincarnate (after 1000 years, but not always that long) to the same bloodline they were once of, of course if the bloodline still exists. That's why it's one of most important things to me to bed and marry a pure aryan virgin woman from my country to bear my pure aryan children. (almost already accomplished that) That way I can once more bring my ancestors back to my bloodline. That's also why everyone in the pure bloodlines inherits the real "ancestral knowledge."

[@cptrockstar3292]

I believe this 100% now. Never thought about it until I woke up crying one morning and my wife asked what was wrong. I dreamed or remembered being afraid and angry at the nazis for killing my brother and sisters. It felt so real It was the craziest experience I ever had. This is one of the things (amongst many more) that got me to leave Christianity. Oh also I don't have a brother ...that I know of lol. I do have sisters but in the memory they were someone else.

[@metalforgeinc.7059]

I understand it, but I have a question... How does it fit, that everyone reincarnates as another human being, whilst we still have the spirits of our ancestors (or the elves) around us? If we get reborn, do we get a new "spirit"?

[@kurtbogle2973]

The Celtic view on reincarnation as I understand it. Everything in the Universe moves in a circle. Life is no exception. When we are borne we have no teeth and very little hair. As we go through life our teeth and hair grow, but many of us by the time we pass have few teeth and little if any hair. So it appears we are on a trajectory back to the point of origin. For Celts that's Tir na N OG. Immediately after you pass you find yourself in a lagoon , with clean clear blue water that's the perfict temperature. The sun is shining it's a beautiful day your a child again naked and swimming. Now your in Tir na N OG. Unfortunately if your a Druid and needed somewhere, a hand comes out of the sky pushes your head under the water and you find yourself here. I have experienced this. I just described it to you. Never go swimming when in Tir na OG.

[@sumerlilangel]

Regardless of where your name originated, it has a strong meaning. I believe the meaning of a name supersedes everything else. My name means believer or anointed one. I think it quite fitting given how spiritual I am despite the fact I am not religious.

[@carlhenry6223]

I can relate to the one where someone died when a baby was in the womb and then that baby got named after him, because I was named after my great grandfather who died when I was in the womb, and I have some (albeit not too uncommon) traits that he is said to have had. But it's interesting, because does that mean that we do not have a soul in the womb? Are they purely material beings that the souls of deceased grandparents can then move into?

This is fascinating! Back in grad school, I remember a respected friend and colleague once speculated about how Greco-Roman polytheism might have developed in the absence of Christianly and the other Abrahamic faiths. He posited that it might look more akin to Hinduism. I tucked that hypothesis away with friendly "hmmm" and a nod. Since then, the more I lean, I can't see it happening any other way.

[@Rykliukas]

As a child, maybe 4 years old, I few times dreamed about a man, going off the train and going home. And I as a child thought in this dream, that I don't know where my home is... Very weird dream and a few times the same. I think I was that man. Now in this life, I am a woman, but I love many manly things, for example, sports, I am not romantic like many women are, etc. Although I like men, I am not gay. Another interesting thing is that this man was very dull person, with dull clothes and now I want to be a striking person :) And I so much hate noise. I can't sleep when someone is talking in the neighborhood, not to speak about the music. But the noise of trains does not disturb me at all, I like it!

I was talking to my wife about reincarnation in the bible, apparently most practitioners of christianity today are adamantly against the belief of reincarnation, but some say there are scriptures that point to it. It occurred to me that the reason the anti-reincarnation (seemingly to the point of not being considered a "real" christian) is so strong is because when christianity was being forcefully applied to our ancestors, the main obstacle in conversion was likely the belief in reincarnation.

Everything you say about the Nordic religion, e. g. about reincarnation, gods and animism, is already in the works of Rudolf Steiner (Antroposophy).

I have this theory: -The one driving force behind all life is reproduction, or passing on one's genes. Every living thing does it. -I believe in a soul / consciousness / energy / spirit / life force / etc that exists beyond this plane. -Third, they say at the base of everything is frequency (and vibration). Now with those 3 things, I think the drive to reproduce is because our soul has it's own frequency, as does our DNA. So the only way to ensure you exist and to repeatedly reincarnate would be to continually reproduce your frequency to increase the odds of coming back to this world. What other explanation can there be? If you have no soul, you have no expectation to come back. So why have this innate "concern" about the next generation (this question is posed beyond humans because we can use emotion as an excuse but a bug can't)?
