The Ægishjalmur is a pyramidical geometrical shape (the Great pyramid of Giza actually has eight sides), which again is very similar to the shape of some helmets. Perhaps the material of parts of the helmet were Draconite (one of the hypothesis Arith presents)? A way of uniting myth (the dragon) and it's power upon mankind with warfare. The material used may have been taken from Icelandic volcanos for instance (Dimmu Borgir).

Thank you for this. Honestly, though, I'm so tired of "scholarly" Pagans telling us that we can't use symbols, divination systems, etc. that were created hundreds of years ago-just because people have misconstrued their meanings over the generations. And so what if said symbols, divination systems, etc. were influenced by Abrahamic religions or each other? That's also a normal part of the formation of spiritualities and theologies. If people want to use the Helm of Awe, and ascribe it to the Vikings (the Icelandic people are direct descendants of Viking settlers), so be it.

Thankyou Arith for another highly informative video.I appreciate the truth you expose , to a type of religion at this stage of it's reawakening and discussion on the internet is prone to fantasy.I have a few broader points you may want to consider. 1. Why do pagans these days seem to focus on the viking age? There is some information about this period ,but as we know paganism is a changing living path that is thousands of years old. 2.Leading on from the previous point Alot of modern pagans seem to want their religion to be set in stone .They read questionable sources and believe that it is the only way, dare I say just like abrahamic religion followers. The helm of awe may have started as a Jewish magical symbol , but the psychic energy and recognition around it has changed, charging it with a newer potent energy.We all know how symbols can be changed and charged in such a way ,a negative example being Germany's use of an ancient symbol in the 1930's to 1945. 3.Modern Pagans seem to want a lot of "tools" to be a pagan with.I have spoken to and witnessed a lot of pagans talking about the next viking style adornment or set piece they require for their alter or selves. My assertion is ,don't get caught in this consumer mentality. If you need it create your own from found local materials. 4.Rarely connection to local environment is discussed by modern pagans .They seem to know a lot from books ,both good and questionable sources but nothing about their local environment , it's cycles ,plants and animals.Insights into the gods and the local wights are found in the environment. On this point I believe the local land exerts energies onto the psychic parts of people who live there ,and open to it.This along with historical forces helped to generate the local culture.As some of us know, local wights have a much bigger influence on people than the gods often times. This is why if you happen to experience first hand wights in a European country they will speak or appear as that local type. If you do so in Australia they will appear- sound as the first nation people of that area. 5.As pagans we must be honest ,with ourselves ,look for truth through experience and live the best we can with effort.I do not think it right that some call themselves pagan ,but eat and drink junk food and are morbidly obese ,reading sagas only.I also think that others who are fit but bully others and act like bastards to others ,because they think they are vikings is real either.Both those extremes are fantasy. Again thank you Arith for your videos presenting the best information you can for the betterment of modern pagans who follow the old ways of the North.

So the old Ægishjálmur from Fáfnismál, which doesn't have an icon; what can we do with that? Is it mere words on a piece of paper? Is there no interpretation which can be made from its description? I like the term, it means much to me, so what type of icon can we make from this? Or is there no way to turn this term into an icon?
@ArithHärger
@ArithHärger 2 жыл бұрын
Hello there! The one mentioned in earlier sources is indeed just a term and no iconographic representation of it, neither a description of any object nor a symbology. It seems to be the fusion of at least two important elements, which is the "Aegis" ( αἰγίς ) as a power/object of protection and magic-power, which by itself is an unknown device of some Greek deities (Zeus and Athena) possibly a "shield", and fusing it with the myths that speak of the "Snakestone" / "Draconite" as a stone/gem in a Dragon's head, which isn't just part of some European myths but also found in other non-European myths. Certainly, nowadays, based on, at least, these two possible interpretations, I'm sure many artists can come up with something. It must also be taken into account that these mythological motifs were inserted in the poems Fáfnismál and Völsungasaga, not only referring to an item in the Dragon's hoard (possibly an allusion to the Dragon's gem or a powerful mythical device) and also referring to the very countenance of the Dragon, which by itself seems to refer to both the Gem in the Dragon's head and the very power of this device that causes fear (an allusion to an evil reputation). All these elements could be combined to create some sort of symbol.

Thank you for this video. This also reminds me of the Germanic version of the Völsungs Saga, the Nibelungenlied. In that Fáfnir is a 'Giant', who kills his brother after they acquired the Rhinegold for the building of the Asgard castle, Fáfnir then forces a Swartalf to forge him a) The Ring, and b) more gold from the gold, and c) a magic net, through which one can shape shift. Fáfnir then uses this net to turn into a powerful and frightening 'worm' or dragon, who kills all who attempt to steal any or all of the gold. I never before understood that link you made between Fáfnir's headwear and the Ægishjálmur, but now makes much sense. It is sad to see so many people proudly displaying their Ægishjálmur and the Vegvísir here in the city I live in, when you talk with them they are all convinced that they're doing 'a powerful Viking thing', but I quickly gave up on history lessons, as people felt easily attacked and became aggressive. Now I just think, more fool you. I tend to stick to the four-spoked Sun-wheel, I would quite like to hang a small Irminsul on a cord around my neck, but that still has such awful right-wing connotations. Maybe you could make a video on the Irminsul and bring this Germanic sign to a wider audience? Please, and thank you again.

@P sorry to disappoint you, but both Hermes and Mercury have quite different origins. The roots of the name Herrmann is solely of Germanic origin, the name meaning Man of war, heri meaning war, similar to the 'Germanen', spear men. Irmin stems from Armenius, the hero of the Battle in the Teutoburger Wald, who caused Rome to abandon their plans to conquer the Germanic lands not yet under their control. One of the biggest defeats for the Roman army ever, 3 whole legions completely decimated in about 3 days of solid fighting. The battle freed many Germanic tribes from Roman oppression, though the planned political unity, unlike the unity demonstrated against Rome in 09 CE did not happen until some time in the 1870s.

Hey Arith, I have another question slightly off the subject but still within the Icelandic magical tradition, sorcerer to sorcerer. It's on the human skin pants that belonged to and Icelandic sorcerer preserved in the museum in Iceland. Would so faux human skin made into a pair of pants fulfill the same functional value symbolically that the real thing did? Personally I'm leaning towards yes tentatively. So I'd love to get your opinion on this if you have the time.

The helm of awe quite certainly refers to the third eye both it's physicality, and it's psychic/spiritual power. When the third eye is fully open and operational it shines so bright it is all but blinding to anyone looking towards it. This coupled with the ability to instill feelings of any kind would absolutely strike fear in any psychically unawaked or uninitiated person/individual, being, or animal.

Hello my dear friend. Which source you are talking about? Where Fáfnir appears? That would be Fáfnismál and Völsunga Saga. Bellows' and Hollander's translations aren't bad but there's always something missing, and occasionally I don't agree with some important aspects. I enjoy Carolyne Larrington's translations of the Poetic Edda. In terms of the Völsunga Saga, some use "The Saga of the Volsungs", (1965) R. G. Finch (ed.), although I enjoy Jesse Byock, but the former has a lot of useful notes, still. I'm not familiar with (yet) Jackson Crawford's translations of the Volsungasaga, neither of William Morris nor Eirikr Magnusson. Mr. T. doesn't have a lot inside that Helmet, let alone a talisman :p but you could say he's a gem.

Thank you for explaining that, the history is important. Going out on a speculative limb, the jewel's placement reminds me of the pineal gland (and third eye), and maybe was thought to project fear by telepathy? Now, back to my original statement, I would always prefer to get back to *purer* sources and avoid Judeo-Christian contamination altogether, but given the two thousand years (of just the Christian era), unfortunately, it is what it is. It seems to me that our own present day interpretations are valid in the sense that religions, and mythologies, and meanings do change through time, and things become what we make of them. While I accept the errors, I'm not willing to scrap it all.

I laugh every time people think this is a "Viking" or Pagan symbol and then have it tattooed. 😁 Unfortunately sellers of trinkets and jewelry online (Etsy mostly) take advantage of uneducated people as well as "Viking" fans and label items with this symbol as Pagan or "Viking". Or, the sellers themselves have been suckered. Great work as always Arith.

So aeigishjálmur and vegvisir are both non-viking symbols. Is "Valknut" a non-viking symbol as well? I am doing my research and I have encountered several websites that tell me that it isnt. Or maybe im just dumb and cant read for shit lmao.

Could the dragon stone have actually been the dragon’s skull? Thus a helm of terror? Although I did find somewhere that the pineal gland of the Annunaki purportedly solidified to stone after death, so maybe not.

1:07 I am already SO excited I had to comment… as I am a TATTOO ARTIST!.. and also very much into understanding my ancestors… I saw a bloke come out of a bottle shop (where we buy alcohol in Australia).. and he had this tattoo on his shoulder… as I had had a belly of ale.. I said … AHHHH a lover of rune’s!., he said oh you recognise this and how well it is done!… i had to hold in my belly laugh as I smiled through my beard.. and just gave him some reassurance.. (It was a crap tattoo of a fake symbol.. but it is not always best to fight over such things).. I am just SO excited to hear this and think of what he ACTUALLY WEARS… forever inked into his shoulder… PS.. I don’t know what it means .. but I know it’s not a rune.. to me it looks more like a snow flake. a very badly done one.. but anyway.. I am so excited I am rabbiting on..

Ive heard there are possibilities of z runes at the ends and another rune in it. Can never be sure with symbolism

Taking a symbol which means one thing and using it to conjure fear, therefore transferring it into a symbol of fear.

I have one as well as a Vegvisir because I appreciate the intent/magic/history/mythology. I feel as if these staves are tattooed with the proper intent, they can be a good thing. If its just to look good then the proper intent and knowledge isn't there and comes off as ridiculous. Thank you for another great video!

It's crazy how many people get runes, bindrunes, staves tattooed without having a clue what they mean. Not only does it show an utter lack of respect, but depending on the tattoo artist's understanding, they could easily end up with a permanent curse.

Ive got staves & runes. Try to do my due diligence researching them. But ancient symbols are very difficult to get a positive answer as to their meaning. Even Christian symbols are misrepresented
