Sacred Objects: and How to Make Them

[@2citylife]

I forget the exact amount but if you blend I think moss and buttermilk than paint it onto an object it’ll grow moss. I think it’s called moss paint

[@TheWisdomOfOdin]

Thank you!

[@russelloszuscik4481]

try using diamond burrs tips for the Dremel.. thats what I've been using to make mine and they come out very nicely...

[@mercastro674]

Halló, Jacob! I'm a geographical accident because I came into the world in a land of dense heat and deep-seated Catholicism. Just a few weeks ago I discovered your KZbin videos and I am delighted with your work /mostly because I feel that someone understands me/, I can see that your faith is sincere and I am sure that as you do with me you help other norse pagans around the world. Now more than ever we must know that we are not alone. xoxo,,

[@jellybean547]

I've gotten into rock carving lately. I actually owe that to this video, which gave me the idea. So thanks for that, I've started carving runes, among other things.

[@yvonner913]

Thank you for this video. Last night my, daughter and I found several rocks with runes on them. I also have gathered nine stones that will be part of my altar to symbolize the realms. I am going to carve runes and paint them to the increase t their sacred connection. Thank you again

[@killerdropbear]

maybe your daughter finding runestones is a sign from the gods

[@UnchartedAtlas]

That IS a nice rock 😂👍

[@iremainproductions4827]

Great break down and analysis brother. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheUltrabeast55]

I have been working on learning the runes and bind runes. Though not your intention your explanation of your bind rune was so easy to understand, and your description of how you came to was great.

[@kathyclark412]

The marker you wield is a very powerful magical tool.

[@TheShadowMoonWitch]

This was so cool Jacob. I think you did such a wonderful job carrying out your point by sharing your project. Which turned out awesome by the way and now I need to do this for my yard.

[@experiencejoy]

You've inspired me to create Rune Stones, thank you brother

[@Ol_Durty_Badger]

great job Jacob! Love the channel! As a fellow rune carver, make sure you wear a mask when carving stone, the particles can wreak havoc on your lungs!

[@jsal7241]

I have been wanting to tmdo the same thanks for the tip

[@SpookifulAriel]

I have only just found your channel (divine highest good timing always) and am enraptured. This is exactly the sort of authentic, soulful, practical acts of devotion that I find so deeply inspiring. You've got an instant new subscriber here. Your energy just rings so faithful and honest and grounding, it's a delight to find your voice. I am working with Freyja and am beginning to build her an altar so I'm so grateful you've been sent, and that you're sharing your wisdom and experiences :) Wishing you so much magic, connection and sending deep gratitude!

[@TheWisdomOfOdin]

I always love seeing someone working their way through my videos! Glad you found my channel, all the best on your journey!

[@kev1734]

I've only just recently found his channel. I was wondering how your alter is going now? I made an alter 2 days ago and it was a very deep experience which I'm still thinking about and realizing that the gods, namely Vidar worked through me. My first sacrifice to Freyja will be to plant a sapling next to my alter :)

[@Someguywithalotoftism]

This reminds me of Alan Moore's philosophy of hermeticism, using writing as magical spells and it works as magic because all it is is suggestion. Giving people ideas. Making the intangible tangible. Kind of like how money works. I love asatru so much it makes me feel fulfilled, and as a writer I feel it as my way to connect with the gods to some degree and it's my magical spells

[@puffthemagicscaly3697]

I went on a hike in my state for the 1st time the other week. I found a really excellent walking stick. Just the other day. I debarked it shaped it really nice. Even carved some runes into it while burning some incense. I really wanted to create my 1st sacred object. It looks like I was on to something. Your video helped me realize that I was on the right path. Thank you.

[@forfoxsake89]

It's shaped like NH! I love that!

[@Geirhammer717]

I really appreciate your videos. I have been doing reading on my own but your videos have helped immensely! I am really glad the Allfather has lead you down this path. Skal!!

[@mortalgrimnir5970]

I do alot of this type of crafting, I suggest using diamond bits. Well done. Thank you brother! Skal

[@CharlesForgedattheTableDemery]

Have you considered using a more traditional method of stone carving? Something more akin to what our ancestors would have done and or used.

[@60sspider-man29]

Ok I never knew you are an artist and now I love this channel even more somehow. Ps. I really like the painting I never really got the hand of painting as I am more of a sketch artist. Maybe one day…

[@michaelfranklin8031]

All natural things are sacred and filled with power and wisdom.

[@narrativenoob]

I am a new follower of Norse Paganism and I know absolutely nothing about the runes other than they look cool. I do want to learn them at some point in time. I haven’t even gotten an alter made yet, but I am working on it. This channel is wonderful! I have learned quite a bit already and look forward to learning more. Skål

[@uxirunesten3742]

You can't expect to be great at masonry right off the bat homie i have 2 and a half years of working with it every day under my belt and its still a total pain in the ass sometimes. It almost feels like the granite is..... Alive

[@jassenfawley]

Just an opinion but it would be awesome to open up a "Community" section on your website so we can all add ideas and communicate with eachother to spread the word. Keep doing what you do, you've gained a follower in me.

[@jassenfawley]

Awesome video thanks for uploading

[@WolfpackPodcastOfficial]

I just have to say, I really enjoy your intro song. Awsome!

[@valentinb-hh2kl]

Awesome - Amazing , thanks Jacob . Skoll😊

[@eddydejagere3411]

Labradorite the stone of Magick is what i use. It is in some Inuit legends , check it out.

[@androshchukx]

@2:21 You can’t _wait_ for a rich person to give you your value. *You* must become _that_ man 💪

[@HBCrigs]

I live in the bottom of a big valley. We don't have rocks here really, but what we do have are blocks of concrete and bricks, so that's what I build my landwight piles with and it may be discarded but it's sacred to me

[@webneko9842]

I'd recommend some of the metal carving tips for things like this. This is pretty cool!

[@sombraarthur]

All you need to carve rocks better, Jacob, is a conical dremel head. You can buy those at any hardware store. Nice runestone. Filling its purpose, for you and your kin. May the One-Eyed bless you all!

[@Nightwing102O]

The pen does technically hold some value "especially" if used to write your runes

[@sarelblaauw1891]

Thank you, this answers a lot of questions

[@PapaH_13]

AM I THE I ONLY ONE WHO SEES THE SPEAR HEAD SHAPE OF THE ROCK!!!!!!

[@creeker230]

Always wanted to get into stone carving. Nice video 🤘🏻

[@frogbear02]

I carve runestones here in wisconsin, but i use the actual old time method of forging the chisels and hammering them at the stone over and over. i plan on carving a large stone to just set in the community park here, with the runes more or less reading "this stone was carved in honour of wisconsins scandinavian heritage" i just havent found the right stone yet for it =)

[@jeaniepasino4004]

As I'm watching this video my crow friends briefly stopped by.

[@ashleytunaley9438]

While watching your video, when you said 'what is given must return' I bent to pick up something I'd dropped and almost lost an eye on a pair of knitting needles. Ok, I can take a hint.

[@glasgato5770]

I think I found a rune stone, but it's not a rune that is in use today. How do I know if it's real?

[@Cujo_Red]

How you know you're a pagan... "ThAtS a NiCe RoCk" or "tHaTs A nIcE sTiCk"

[@allrebel5943]

Not all the time, I’m a teacher of Yahweh and I always end up with a new rock or two every hike I go on 🙂. May peace and great days come to you.

[@Charlie_the_Chair]

"that's a nice stick" is how a got the idea to start learning staff spinning now that stick is a treated and stained bo staff that belongs to Odin

[@azazelswings6194]

I went to James river state park in va and there are tons of quartz rock that are beautiful. I use them to start fires as they create a spark when hit together. I told my husband I found a bunch and he knew I was coming home with a bag about a heavy as a pallet of bricks 😅 i only came home with 2 really nice ones that I felt called too. I don't believe in pulling more than what I may need

[@kv1815]

You are a some sort of genius.

[@KingstoneS318]

I think Paganism is Science through a spiritual language!

[@yowgert_9424]

Is there a difference between the word holy and sacred

[@nonsensical1521]

You did an awesome job on the stone, I didn't know you could take a dremel to stone either! I need to try this someday XD

[@corriescott2124]

I need help. I am trying to make my own prayer beads for strength. I have a black bead neck, and a Uruz pendant. How can I make this thing sacred? I am thinking of cleansing it with sage, and asking the gods to bless this, and make more sacred. But I don't know

[@t_k_n3764]

I think diamond bits for your dremel would work best for a clean and deep carving into stone, also where can i find information on gatherings? Are they still going on due to corona?

[@vivianp5962]

So in other words what makes something magical/sacred verses everyday objects is the persons perspective?

[@JA_94]

With rune Stones... Would you typically use older or younger futhark... I know alot of the poems we have were mostly in younger and the elder was more "basic" I'm getting into runes so I'm just curious. Great video!

[@xxsnowberryxx4336]

Younger Futhark is typically used for writing and Elder Futhark are typically used in rune casting and stuff like that

[@JA_94]

@@xxsnowberryxx4336 thank you.

[@eddydejagere3411]

Old futhark is more powerful , more the Magical force of nature and spirit.

[@pyrendra3901]

Awesome example on doing items for yourself! What are some good resources you would suggest to learn more about bind runes and how to create them properly?

[@akselihamalainen171]

Where do you buy the necklace and oath ring from?

[@thebusbums2825]

Hello friends 👋 Art is valuable because of the concept of “confirmation bias” In regards to carving. Either a carbide or diamond cutting wheel or burrs would probably be best over the structured cutting disks

[@theironroad5502]

I'd love to know where/how you learned to write phrases in younger futhark, I'm having a hard time finding good resources to learn

[@bravoravenofpestilence1161]

There are countless books and explanations on how to read the runes of either Younger or Elder Futhark. I personally recommend watching Dr. Jackson Crawford for explanations of the Norse language or the runes.

[@levihoward4470]

Please make one of the sacred stone and pendant

[@tomhowell6016]

Awesome video kindred!

[@atomiccityphotography8005]

Use the etching tool for the dremmel

[@journeytoyggdrasil9994]

Jacob, I know you're busy with all the social media stuff, but do you take painting commissions? I would love a bragi or thor painting from you. Much love, brother. Hail the gods!

[@killerdropbear]

hey, what bindrune is on your arm?

[@traviswork7143]

Psst chia pet seeds ... Or live moss just keep misted

[@nathanmauk9387]

Considering wearing a tiny replica of Duchamp's urinal "Fountain" around my neck.

[@kimmeystorey4577]

Do you prefer to write runes in elder or younger futhark?

[@stoneghost2936]

You should only write in younger futhark

[@Ravynwulf]

I ♥️ runestones!

[@stingwizard4766]

I’m a Norse pagan as well and was wondering what part of Kentucky you were from?

[@wyattmiller9883]

Where did you get your mjolnir

[@daisydukes3913]

Do you have to use the runes you used?

[@daisydukes3913]

Okay so for context im leaving for summer and I found a sacred object that represents one of the main deities that i connect with and I wanted to make this object (a jester card I found on the ground) so I could take it with me for summer bc I am a beginner in this religion and I have to practice quietly bc I live in a predominantly Christian household

[@daisydukes3913]

Essentially I put and carved in runes that I understood and called to me and such and I was wondering if it is okay if I bless/cleanse it as I would an altar and use the kinds of runes that you did though I don’t understand them very much

[@dracodistortion9447]

that is one nice rock tho lol

[@ConnorMacDougallMusic]

In a sense, couldn't you say that using the marker to make your sacred symbols makes it sacred?

[@theruralheathen5314]

I kinda laugh at the thought of blood magic. But in all seriousness your blood is your ancestral connection. So blooding an item binds it to you, just my thoughts.

[@Zen_Icarus]

Where can I learn more about runes?

[@eddydejagere3411]

Arith Härger on youtube , very good source.

[@sudarsana1913]

TL;DR anything can be sacred if you think it is

[@maddawgRSS]

Skal

[@katyblackheart1529]

That’s a Celtic triskele it’s not even a rune or Norse

[@TheWisdomOfOdin]

The person it was made for worships the Celtic gods as well
