Sturla Ellingvåg on Vikings, Norse Myths, Genetic Memory & Connecting the Longer Lines in History

[@annpierce9250]

This is so accurate. I 100% believe in cell memory. The more I study my ancestors culture the more I realize I am practicing it without having been taught.

[@SyraThePoet]

What cultural practices are you engaging in and what activity specifically have you noticed yourself performing with near to full ease? This is fascinating to me and I’d love to know what your experience was like. I intend to do a DNA test in 2024 so that I can then look at the cultures income from and learn more

[@dragonofhatefulretribution9041]

As a Westerner I’ve studied ancient Far Eastern esoteric traditions and authentic occult practices since very young and had the privilege and honour of experiencing many a strange phenomenon which humbled me and gave me an unwavering faith in myself-part of me was always aware that these were practices that even my own ancient blood was familiar with despite it being from a culture and a racial-group across the globe, and then looking into the Interconnectedness of the Indo-European peoples and their transcontinental civilisation I realised that these same advanced esoteric practices were likely also practiced by people on the very isles I grew up on as well.

[@annpierce9250]

@dragonofhatefulretribution9041 Did you study through academic journal, scholastic sources, the library, or a Gaia website? My Maternal Grandparents were Saami from Tromso. I know of no historical record of ancient occult except what was introduced through Rosicrucian and freemasonry masonic movements much after the fact in the mid 18th century. So I would be curious if what you studied was Aleister Crowley, the founder of Wicca, Neopaganism, archeological interpretation of Shamanism, etc

[@dragonofhatefulretribution9041]

@@annpierce9250 I actually stole ebooks from online as a teen😂 And no I took books authored by various masters online ranging from Shinto mysticism, Chinese & Tibetan Qi Gong, Indian Yoga etc. Absolutely amazing stuff which multiple authors now claim arrived in the Far East in the hands of Indo-European Neolithic Pagans.

Thanks for inviting Sturla, Jan. Sturla is a man capable of independent thinking, a rare gift. Supported by scientific knowledge such a man may travel far, and that's just what he did, apparently, since he ventured 12000 years into the chasm of our past. I'm fairly curious. Cheers.

[@noniesundstrom119]

Thank you for this interview. I love talks that almost hurt my brain! I’m a retired visual artist who has always been inspired by Mythology, especially Celtic and 100% believe in genetic memory even before dna tests clarified my heritage for me. As a women, our history is almost never spoken of. I heard a science author talk about how intrinsic memory especially in females reaches back in time, as a woman’s mother’s eggs are formed in her grandmother’s uterus during gestation. Hence passing along trauma and other memory traits affected by experiences from that grandmother. I’m a mother, grandmother, a Canadian born of Highland Scots, Irish and Norse people. The older I get, the more connections to and answers for my ancient memories and traits. So, so interesting.

[@SyraThePoet]

Thank you for your reply I would love to know what experiences you’ve had specifically. Do you have memories that are not or your own? Do you remember languages that are not any you’ve spoken before? Do you get any closed eye visuals, dreams, “visions”, etc of your ancestors or those who were before you? What connections have you found yourself noticing? What connections have you found impacted your life most? As much detail as you can provide would be appreciated gratefully.

I knowing know I'm late to the party, but holy moly. My life is changed after watching this video. So many of these thoughts I've had myself and am exploring but you have helped further broaden the scope of my lens. Huge fan of the work you're doing, guys. I resonate with a lot of what was being said and find the concept of genetic Memory fascinating.

I enjoyed the discussion topic! I thought that the information you shared on genetic memory was really great. I have been looking for more information on the pre-history of the Vikings, which you covered very well!

[@dragonofhatefulretribution9041]

Great video & great channel! I’ve seen one or two of Sturla’s interviews before and always appreciated that he’s clearly a wise man but the things he went into today and hinted at made me realise he’s on-top of the most groundbreaking discoveries about the Interconnectedness of the European peoples and our great ancient legacies across the globe! Great interview-subbed!

[@spokemagnet19-zs9de]

Correction: 19:01 does not mention that "English law is Norman law." William ("the conquerer") divested the natives of property in favor of Normans,, but did not totally dismantle the administrative practices already in place in certain regions, because some were recognized as effective and efficient, and some pre-Norman usages were codified in law. I do not however, agree with the concept of "genetic memory" in relation to myths.

Anyone know the spellings of the shamans he mentions at 1:10:50 who had nasal abnormalities that allowed them to enter trances easier?

The part of the connection between Lucia and the Vikings blew my mind! When I’ve done DNA-testing i have some common genes with the Longobards in Italy, which makes this even wilder.

You should interview swedish professor Anders Kaliff about Nordic bronze age (and indoeuropean culture/mythology) as the cradle. Also professor Anders Winroth in Oslo have similar views!!!

Genetic memory could be the key to prove reincarnation through your bloodline is true.

[@tengri_tunga]

Thanks for this beautiful talk. In talks like this which dependent on academic studies and folklore I would expect sources to be given so that listeners can check if the information given is actually true. Of course, he talks knowledge and perspective and not only data or information, yet still it would be better if sources that support his arguments were given plainly. Also, as a Turk, it suprised me that there are hypotehises on Attila being Oden. I knew that Attila effected Germanic culture as he is also in Nibelungen as Etzel. Though, I think it is unlikely that cult of Attila could shape or originate Oden, maybe influenced in some ways. Also, I found arguments on DNA far-fetched. If you also had a biologist who study on that spesific field, they would have some things to say on that, I believe. Still, I loved the perspectives he offers. As a Neo-Tengrist myself, I felt it like a massage to my brain and on my thoughts and feelings on how to shape or find my spirituality.

[@differous01]

The Germanic people understood how brain injuries effect consciousness: one hemisphere controlling conscious Thought (Huginn) the other unconscious Memory (Muninn). In relief Odin appears to wear a horned helm, but in 3D the Ravens (stylised to resemble horns) clearly fly straight from these hemispheres. Disney bluebirds twitter over the head of the concussed but, in normal brains, Odin's bluebirds chatter and Rave.

[@differous01]

PIE *wod-eno-, *wod-ono- "raging, mad, inspired."

[@kenhilving276]

Perhaps genetic memory is less about our human DNA and more about our human microbiome. After all, we are less than half human when we include bacteria, fungi, and other microbes living in and on us. The microbiome start our decomposition when we die, and can live on in the soils and living entities they come in contact with.

[@gcanaday1]

I don't buy Euhemerism. I believe this was a device used by those who wrote the stories down in order to keep their works from being censored and burned by the church. For the Euhemerist ideal to be a historical fact, the age of these stories has to be backdated much, much further in time than many currently are if they are to be inclusive of all of the ancient cultures that told versions of them. Thór, for example, is also likened to Indra of the Rig Veda, as well as Perkunas of the Slavic regions, Taranis among the Celts, and Hercules among the Greeks. We'd have to go back at least that far, likely to as far back as prior to the first waves out from the steppe. Something rings wrong with parts of that dating for them to all be based upon the same living figure, enough that Euhemerism seems to have been more of a survival tactic than a legitimate potential fact.

[@cinnamongirl5410]

Actually, it's ridiculous to even connect Odin with Attila. What's going on today, and what we're expected to entertain, has become beyond insulting.

From what I understand is that the Norse Vikings killed their own. That is not cool and nothing to be proud of

[@simonestreeter1518]

Could you be a lot more specific? That is a very vague and broad assertion. However, I observe that there is no culture in history that does not have some myths or records of tribes killing their own people on memorable occasions. Have you ever read a Greek tragedy?

Would best be described as an aristocratic republic

[@4further.information]

Denmark, Norway and Sweden was and kinda still is very different in this area. Denmark is open farmland, and mighty clans could easily rule. But in Sweden farmers were much more ruling themselves and could "disappear into the forests" if threatened. And I would not call "the farmers republic" in Tröndelag (the Ladejarls) aristocratic.
