The Norse Fylgja: Determining what your spirit animal is

[@scythianking7315]

I got some very interesting results. I used my Great Grandfather's old traditional Norwegian Hunting knife. He was Norwegian(100%). On the handle there is a picture of a Reindeer pulling a sled with a man on it. I did the ritual two times, and both time the napkin fell off on Reindeer. I got chills when I remembered there's a Reindeer on the knife handle

[@keithakid]

My only memory from when I was very young was me and a cat sitting on a porch while it was raining. I thought it was a real memory but it was just a dream according to my mother. The memory is so strong and vidid. The cat was just sitting there with me, it felt like a brother or a sister.

I'm not into the magic stuff but I still really want to learn about it. The magic stuff is really why I've subscribed because you're more down-to-earth about it than most thank you

[@johnd5574]

I think we're probably similar. These days, "magic" has loads of connotations and practices that mostly I think are bunk, made to sell to wannabe witches who dream of the old Bewitched TV show. Norse spiritual practices, minus the popular "bind runes", "rune readings", and "spells" (all modern bunk IMO), but focused on lore that includes seidhr, galdr, and spiritual herbal craft, would be VERY refreshing and interesting. Listening to Satanist-inspired followers of Edred Thorsson or "Wiccatru" personal gnosis junk makes me want to smack them in the head.

[@bigfootisjustreallyshy]

Thanks for recommending "The Seed of Yggdrasil" in one of your videos. I bought it about a month ago and I'm not even half way through it because it's so dense with information, but it has easily been one of the best books about the old beliefs that I've read so far. Maria's interpretations and speculations about the stories are super interesting and I think ring true in a lot of cases.

[@baldrickt.adder-slayer287]

Here's the thing--you probably already have and just forgot or blew it off because you've been trained to ignore it. Just like past life memories. We are trained to believe that they are "foreign" memories, that you were a "different" person. Your body was different, but you are still the same person, just in a different situation, body etc. People actually DO remember but because your beliefs and behaviors are no different than they were in the past it doesn't "seem" different. You are still YOU, no matter where you are at. You don't become a different person just because you went to Hawaii, put on some shorts and a flowered shirt. That's what screws people up with plastic surgery. Bottom line, the ritual itself means nothing if your spirit doesn't ring with it. Your rituals belong to YOU.Your spirit rings with its own tones, and you have to communicate with the extended realms using your personal "tonal voice". That's why there is no such thing as centralized "viking religion". Something that was created individually cannot be reconstructed "catholic-style" for the masses. That's like saying 'if I sing and dance in my underwear, it makes me Madonna'. You can't find your internal by manipulating the external. That's "christianization" training. Your spirit animal is there, always has been and you keep ignoring it because it doesn't come packaged the way consumer culture tells you. That's cowardice; and you will be shown the "ones that walk with you" only when you have bravery. Not aggression, power, bravado, ego but real bravery. Sometimes it's as simple as not lying to yourself. Some times it takes time to find that certain spot, or event-- to remember that special time and the dream that followed, however you were shown. Sometimes people stew in so much ego and cowardice that they will never see what has been with them all along.

[@prepperinireland2240]

When I was 15, I dreamt I rode a red deer stag into a deep cave where an entire herd of red deer waited. I knew these were humans in deer form. I found my Tribe. I've often wondered if the red deer is my fylgja so I'll try this. I'm 60 now so the impact of that dream has been with me a long time. I'm also, until a couple of years ago, from the Scottish Highlands (crofting so you're right about the "peasant" though I wouldn't say I was entirely domesticated...we aren't all sheep ;) ) but there, red deer outnumber people and I encountered them in "real" life daily. Also my trade in life was a self employed traditional animal hide tanner, including deerhides. Now watch me try this and get my most hated creature ever, the spider...:/

[@prepperinireland2240]

Oh ps, in Celtic folklore (correct me if I'm wrong but also in Norse?) there's an ancient tradition of young warriors being sewn into bull or deerhides for a specific number of days and nights, I believe as a form of sensory deprivation in order to seek out wisdom and entities through dream and hallucination. When the warrior emerged, he'd have gained Otherworld knowledge of his own particular powers but also encounters with other beings, mostly animals. It *is* documented in some of the Old Irish and Scottish texts and archaeological evidence has been found that has thrown up burials wrapped in bull, horse or deerhide in the same manner, which would indicate a Journeying rite of passage, just in case folks are thinking it's new age bullshit I'm talking here. ;)

I thought I was the only one with this 🐺. I understand what you saying 100%.

[@jtgoat9810]

I would recommend meditation. Light six candles around a mirror in a darkened room and stare into the reflection of the mirror. You can say a few words about wanting to meet your Fetch to set the intention etc. then stare into your own eyes until it’s fuzzy. Your fetch may or may not appear but over time it should work. Also, this is a ritual from traditional witchcraft. Traditional craft has a lot of Anglo Saxon lore built into it. So not Scandinavian nor entirely historical, but an effective way of contacting your animal soul self.

[@debeunhazen7632]

Sounds interesting. Is the position of the mirror important? on the ground with candles around? or standing. Thanks!

[@jtgoat9810]

the mirror is on the ground with the candles making a circle around the mirror. But having the mirror on the wall and lighting candles in front of it should also work. It’s mainly about your intention when you begin the ritual. The darkened room with candles lit should help you get into a trance like state. I hope this helps!

She was so stubborn about this cat, so her parents started saying "natta katt" (good night cat) when they left the room after saying good night. It is her roommate who told us about the cat. He thought it was incredibly funny and sweet, because she still says "natta katt" (good night cat), even though she no longer sees the cat. Could it be her Fylgja?

[@ellstone7058]

Only yourself can really know what your Fylgja is, but i think its worth mentioning... The wolf Fylgja, is two sides of the same coin. Both loyal companion and savage beast. Both strategic Alpha and single-minded Omega. For me, personally, i recommend visualizing the animal that you resonate with, but instead visualizing each and every attribute and behaviour in the natural world that the animal expresses. Its very easy to be decieved in this era, it is quite literally the era of deception but like the rune mannaz teaches us, follow your intuition and not your ego, and you'll be okay...

[@ellstone7058]

And, for the record, im not Wise or have a lifetime of expereince with runes and the gods, only about 4/5 years. so my words are my own, make of that what you will.

[@yippeeflowers]

alpha and omega are human constructs, and don't exist in wolf hierarchies. the "alphas" are simply the breeding pair (mom and dad) and the "omega" is the pack member who keeps everyone together through play and submission. packs are family groups, of mother and father and children. they rarely have outsiders in them.

[@louispellissier914]

In norse sagas people didnt dream about their fylgjas, but about the fylgjas of other people. In Hervarar Saga, for example, Angantyr dreams of the fylgja of Hialmar and his men (Hialmar's was an eagle and his men's were birds) that portended Angantyr's death on his duel with Hialmar. In other sagas the same pattern is repeated, another example of this are the dreams of swedish queen Ingerd, where she saw a pack of wolves led by a lion and a bear which were gothic king Rolf and danish king Ingiald with his troops

[@johnd5574]

@@TheAveragePainter In the lore, fylgja can appear in different ways. Ancestral fylgja often appear as women, and are protector spirits of your line. Personal fylgja often appear as a specific animal, and they are considered an aspect or part of your soul. The soul of a human is complex and multi-part in old Norse lore, parts of it separating and going their own ways after death; other parts can go on spiritual journeys, if you know how (according to the lore).

Domesticated peasant. Funny but accurate. So, I had been thinking about this recently...spirit animals. My thoughts are that we do not really have one. We manifest different animals as aspects of ourselves and where we are at in the moment. It can be looked at like a totem pole. What animal are we manifesting as we move up and down the pole, or energies, reflecting on what is needed in our circumstance. We are fluid beings, always changing. I am a different person at work than I am at home or out in the woods. It seems that my animal spirit should change too. I need the cow at work, the horse at home, and maybe a good dog on the trail. I can't say this is accurate. Just an idea.

Great vid! I tried this a bunch of times but got different results and now I'm pretty confused. What does it mean? Do I not have a spirit animal?

[@brandonmullins7849]

Wrap it in what? The subtitles said service

[@dseelenmagie8811]

Thank you SOOO much.... I've been looking for sources on this. It'll be interesting to try out. Did Germanic tribes also believe in such as a fylgja?

[@norsemagicandbeliefs8134]

We don't know. No sources to confirm it.............But I think they for sure did :)

Please tell us about the dream method ide love to know I think dream walking is one of my strongest "gifts" out of those we humans have

[@JaghataiKhaani]

I would love to be in a private group and learn more about every aspect of it

[@daivskinner8968]

I'm down with finding my fylgja.

Well, either all animals are my spirit animals, or I don't have one (I think I'm testing my ability to wrap a knife blade with paper, and I'm not very good at it.) I'd be interested in hearing about the dream way of going about it, I think my Fylgja's saved my life on more than one occasion and I'd like to thank it..
