The Mystery of the Valknut Symbol in Norse Mythology | SymbolSage

[@andrewnelson4148]

The three triangles represent the three tribes of gods, the Aesir, the Vanir and the Jotnar. The nine points of all three triangles combined represent the nine realms.

[@SymbolSage]

Thank you for adding to the discussion.

[@andrewnelson4148]

@@SymbolSage I found a picture on the web that explain 9 points being the nine realms. I learned that each triangle was for each tribe of gods from the religion around it. The fact that it is tied together like chainmail show that whoever came up with the symbol what the three tribes of gods to be together

[@elricthebald870]

I've also seen it described as Creation, Destruction and Fate. The points of the Creation triangle: Vile, Ve and Odin. Destruction: Fenrir, Hel and Jormungandr. And fate: Urð, Skuld and Verðandi.

You missed an important clue here. The 'Valknútr' was depicted not only on memorialstones, prestigious weapons and like jewellery. The most important, most prestigious object it was neatly carved on, is the Oseberg bed you mentioned. We now know that it and many other sacred objects belonged to 'kingmaker' völvas. The bed was a ceremonial bed, possibly made for the hieros gamos or sacred marriage between a new king and the Great Goddess representing the land (-wights). That would mean a direct link to Freyja, with whom Óðinn shares all fallen warriors. Freyja is the Lady of the Nine worlds. There is the other clue: the Nine points of the 9th century Tängelgårda stone (commemorating either an initiation rite or human sacrifice with the symbol between the 'victim' and the Great Eagle Hræsvelgr) the even earlier Oseberg bed, hint at rebirth or renewing lifeforce as symbolised by this symbol, whatever it's original name was. That does not exclude gravity to Óðinn, but both Freyja and Óðinn were gods of initiation, ecstasy, war, life and death and 'travellers' through the Nine Worlds. It's possible, even likely that Freyja initiated Óðinn as most supreme Deity and ultimate Völva. As the seeress in Völuspá, she remembers all Nine Worlds and the Giants who bore Her in a perpetual circle of rebirth. The 'Valknút' might be the symbol of all that.

Hi Eric, thanks so much for taking the time to add to this discussion and for a different perspective!

Getting this tattooed next week 🤌

[@SymbolSage]

Good choice! Have you also checked out the Vegvisir?

[@elricthebald870]

@@SymbolSage Those looking for Norse Pagan symbols should think really hard before getting a Vegvisir or Aegishjalmur tattooed. Both are late medieval/renaissance Christian magical staves. And are, in time, closer to us than to the Viking age.

"Val - knut" "hero knot" for me this symbol dedicates, a warriors life, earthly belongings and his death to Odin. He ties himself to the allfather.

[@YoutubeHandleGoesHere]

The fact that you portray Jacob Chansley as a white supremacist is both laughable and severely undermines this entire video's educational integrity.

[@thewisepowerfull1938]

I have a tattoo of it. I got it hoping for a connection with Odin so he would teach me his wisdom and help me overcome fear. I'm a rune mage btw.

Someone in the Viking Age that carves and Read's the Runa is called a "Runster ". And if you Read any book's by the Author Neil Price you will discover evidence that by the Archeologist' Men that practice Seidhr were buried in a Women's Dress. And only Galdr was practised in total Secret or be declared a Butt Boy by Everyone ! And the Correct term for a male practitioner is called a Seer !.....

Yes definitely.

[@williamfreeman8197]

Heaven hell and earth not pagan thats christain definitely doesnt mean that it wpuöd be life death rebirth or hel vahalla and midgard but even that one wouldn't be correct because there is tons of different afterlifes in germanic and norse paganisms it got boiled down to hel and vahalla durong rise of christainity

Thank you for your comment; it is a great symbol for remembrance.

[@ThreeToedCrow]

FYI - (Note to commentator) The term AD used at 2:33 doesn't mean "after death" it's Latin (Anno Domini. That translates to “In the year of our Lord.”). Also the dude at 5:17 described at the Jan 6 farce wasn't associated with group mentioned or with the planted losers that caused trouble. Just a guy at the wrong place at the wrong time ...

[@SymbolSage]

Thanks for pointing these out!

At 2:30 you say, "around the 8th or 9th century After Death." AD doesn't stand for After Death, it's Anno Domini.

@@SymbolSage ok, ill make a video about pedophiles and show pictures of you. Using your logic. So you believe the man that was illegally held in prison for over a year cause he was let in the capitol by police to walk around is a racist cause he likes American freedom and has tattoo's? Liberal logic you have there puppet. You probably believe the false flag Indian an Mexican with fresh nazi tattoos and a flag in a uhaul are real as well. Wasn't untill Tucker Carlson brought light to the mainstream how unfair the Shamen has been drug through the mud by mainstream media, and you a sheep just ate it up and perpetuate the problem.

I don't know if it was intentional or not to use a pic of Jacob while mentioning "white nationalists groups" but it was certainly unfortunate. Seems intentional. He is not associated with any white nationaist groups. He has an amazing intellect and if y'all are not acquainted with him, you should be. Whoever edited this should be ashamed.

Unfortunately, this video is from a very Christian perspective, as the three sides most definitely did NOT mean "Heaven" "Earth" and "Hell". But oh well.

One of the problems with understanding this symbol is that we have very few sources. And one of the main ones was written down by Icelanders 200 years after they changed to Christian.
