Sleipnir and Gullinbursti

[@elfarlaur]

I love the way you nonchalantly mention things like your dislike of airports and then just get back on topic.

[@sergeyarkhipov781]

No one ever nonchalantly mentions their *love* of airports 😂

[@JoshuaJadeMcCoskrie]

Me in da club: hneggg Da ladies: damn Fredrick take me home right now

[@jennpipp26]

フレドリックフレドリック take me to your fortress, Fredrick!

[@mattaffenit9898]

Merge our bloodlines, Friederich! This shall be a mighty alliance!

[@Thornspyre]

Great as always There arent many places one can go and hear Latin spoken with an Old Norse accent

[@sergeyarkhipov781]

Reconstructed medieval icelandic pronunciation and spelling.. I'm trying to replace my slightly russian accent with it for everyday speach ;-)

[@smokytopboomboom]

"Unfortunately for Loki-" C'moooon, like that wasn't Loki's plan in the first place.

[@JoshuaJadeMcCoskrie]

Exactly!! Loki always has a plan

[@JoshuaJadeMcCoskrie]

@@davidweihe6052 surely it was 4d beastiality chess that goes beyond our comprehension.

[@seanboyd2898]

If you ever heard of Overly Sarcastic Productions, they have an Easter Egg in one of their retellings of Norse Stories with Loki drinking from a mug labeled "#1 horse mom".

[@sergeyarkhipov781]

That means he's a brony.

The neighing has successfully seduced me.

[@juliaconnell]

thank you Dr Crawford, interesting and enjoyable as ever

[@natemarx4999]

Those who are notification squad for this channel are the greatest people ever.

[@alexlamb6803]

Just bought your audiobook of the Poetic Edda. It’s fantastic, thank you!

[@johnwoyurka3547]

Another awesome video Dr. Jackson "Drengr" Crawford, I just ordered your translation of The Poetic Edda and The Saga of The Volsungs and am waiting for them to come in. Thanks for the content you consistently bring us.

[@legionitalia309]

Interesting that the golden boar hair “shines/glows at night”. It’s well known by gold prospectors that gold can indeed be seen in creeks or on the ground reflecting moonlight at night. This could have been a “hidden” kenning for intelligently locating sources of naturally occurring placer gold.

[@expo6545]

Just discovered your channel and I'm learning so much. Thanks for doing these videos!

[@juliaconnell]

welcome! there is certainly a lot to enjoy & learn from

[@KnittinSittinCatMama]

The story of how Ivaldi's sons created Mjolnir and Sif's golden hair as well as how Sleipnir was born are two of my favorite myths. Thank you for discussing the importance of boars--I did not know that the sacrificial animals could be used to swear oaths. That'll make this year's Yule celebration interesting :)

[@animistchannel2983]

You could have people make their most important New Year's resolution on a honey-cured ham. That would give it both the power of the heart of Boar to complete the task, and the witness of the royal/divine honey to hold them true. Complete it with a toast of mead when everyone has finished, if any good mead is available :)

[@sunshinesilverarrow5292]

Thank you, always a pleasure! Hugs & sunshine ☀️N

[@mariamcclure1364]

I love you and I could listen to you talk all day and night it would be a dream come true to meet you and learn from you!!

[@JoshuaJadeMcCoskrie]

Admit it you just want him for his hneggg

[@MissKellyBean]

@@JoshuaJadeMcCoskrie I'll admit it.

[@cyberroar]

Old norse speaking horses said hnegg, modern Norwegian horses says knegg :)

[@lindaliljecrona4404]

Gnägg in modern Swedish.

[@sergeyarkhipov781]

The language horses speak evolves too...Grimm's law ;-)

[@lakrids-pibe]

*Vrinsk* in danish??? *Gnægge* means to cackle.

[@seanboyd5242]

Thank you!

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

"Warswine" would make a great name for a death metal band!!

[@andytuesday500]

Thank you 🙏 I enjoy your content

[@seanboyd2898]

Some musings on why you would want a golden boar: High class (nobility) would count their wealth in gold and precious metals, while the lower classes may count their wealth in the availability of food (large meat animals), with both classes recognising the value of people, land, and work animals. So while every impressive thing in mythology either emits or absorbs light, the golden animals (basically all divine animals off the top of my head), are sort of a bridging of values between the two classes. It may also reflect in þorr being a sort of cross class hero as his chariot goats serve both purposes. Keep in mind, I am no expert in this field. I just know that most of the stories make sense if the entire context is known, which is difficult in the case of incomplete records.

[@vladtepes9614]

Great content! Subbed.

[@gardenhead92]

Why wasn’t this story portrayed in the marvel movies?!

[@mistellechambless6824]

I've only flown over the Great Lakes once, but there is something a little unsettling about it.

[@juliaconnell]

on a very minor note - I do like the raven - however I miss Sleipnir

[@ICTsiege]

Prof. Crawford: what is that lapel pin? Outlaws for Life, much?! We all know you went out and got a console for RDR2, but did you splurge on a special edition? lol

[@ICTsiege]

My guy, if you are on xb1, just dm me your tag... please

[@Joj1n]

It’s so funny that he makes a very short pause before saying a Norse Name.🙂 nice Video

[@siyarg.4900]

Dr. Jackson Crawford back at it with beautiful scenery and the Cowboy hats Also CAN YOU NOT BE ON THE SIDES OF CLIFFS? OR NOT? YOU'RE TOO IMPORTANT TO US TO END UP FALLING OFF A DAMNED CLIFF

[@kevinlane1219]

I imagine you were consulted during the of God of War 4.

[@kevincfoss]

Hi, Dr. Crawford, not sure if you will see this. I’m too poor for patreon, but I did buy the wanderer’s havamal (in case that makes you more inclined to consider my question). I was looking at the picture of sleipnir on the cover of the penguin classics paperback of the Prose Edda and noticed that the crossing of the legs looks an awful lot like a valknut. Is it at all likely that this is the origin of that symbol and it’s assumed tie to Odin?

[@TallisKeeton]

I know a bit about Sleipnir and Gullinbursti so I want to ask is there any animal connected to Tyr? Warm Greetings from ancient forests of Silesia :)

[@shanesizemore3654]

What kind of lapel pin is that?

[@septegram]

I've heard it hypothesized that Sleipnir has eight legs for four men carrying a coffin, Odhinn being heavily associated with death. Your thoughts?

[@CLAREROMVoid]

So... Do Sleipnir have 8 legs or not? Is it a by product of artistic convention or it have 8 legs per si?

[@Tina06019]

“Hnegg” Sounds like “neigh” to me.

[@christopherrowley7506]

yep, they're cognates. Middle English neighen, Old English hnǣgan, and there you can see that h out front.

[@MrPeterKJ]

Is it just me or does your Latin have some Norse accent ? :)

[@joeampolo42]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGKqlqWVg5Zni5I for Latin with a Swedish accent.

[@tsangarisjohn]

Nice pin ! 😊

[@vibbe2525]

Hnegg became gnägg or gnägga in modern swedish. I think i sounds so filthy ^_^

[@howwewitch]

I've never thought of it before but now you mentioned it 'gnägga' actually sounds rather filthy 😮

[@redgun693]

Ætli Jackson kíkji á ummælin? Veit einhver hvað ég er að segja? Er ég að sóa tímanum mínum?

[@Soapy_Bumslap]

man, brussels international airport, tell me about it

[@Sceadusawol]

You conflate Gullinbursti and Hildisvíni, but isn't the latter actually Freyja's lover (Óttar), in disguise?

[@Jan-mu6vs]

Isn't a double "ll" pronounced as a "K" sound?

[@jennpipp26]

Can you whisper sweet Norse nothings into my ear?

[@JoshuaJadeMcCoskrie]

That's some 2025 ASMR request right there.

[@colinp2238]

Neigh I mean nay!

[@SirKaldar]

Hnegg!
