Though I'll say that Norse Paganism is in no way limited to those ethnicities! The gods may be worshipped by everyone. It is just important especially to those with ancestral links as it is what our fathers before us worshipped and honoured.

Crying is often a release, or relief. As a kid did you ever (or can you relate to this anyway) get hurt, a splinter, a skinned knee, a mean kid being a butthead, some painful or scary event, & not cry, just run home, (or maybe as an adult something happened), & you're being brave... and then you get to a safe place, or a safe person, & that instinct that held in the emotions & made you focus on getting help or healing or inside or whatever was needed, can relax and THEN the tears came or maybe a little anger or outrage - the release of what you held in until you felt at home & protected or not alone or not at risk....? Religion can make people suppress feelings or thoughts or bury their natural responses & suppressing is stressful. You don't have to here. You don't have to fit in a box & conform. Your true self is appreciated & in that atmosphere people can thrive. We can do so much better if we can be real, & we feel so much better that way, that it's a natural reflex to cry out what's been held in & it's very healthy to! I could be feeling whimsical but it sounds like a welcome, like you were recognized & given the gift of release, welcomed home to the Old Ways. I won't dictate to you what it means to you but it did occur to me bc I found that's similar to how I felt. I didn't cry, I froze in wonder but there was a feeling deep inside where I could feel something like crying, that release of tension floating away. It might take more to clean your spirit of any enforced repression if that was the sitch. "Better out than in!" We were given feelings for a reason. They're signs, little messages that tell us what works for us & what doesn't or didn't. It's a strength to have feelings. We don't embrace or inflict fear, here. Crying often means comfort, actually - that now in a safe place to feel & be yourself. & Paganism is a wide field of ways, it might be that in general, the right to respect your own nature & to gather with others who will & who'll see the beauty in that as equals.

I’m a Central Kentuckian and I’ve bounced between atheist and agnostic my whole 32 years of life due to my parents. I recently come across a discovery that my ancestors were of Scandinavian descent so I started to dive into Nordic and Norse cultures. In the midst of my research and as a music lover, I decided to indulge in the music as well for the first time…I immediately got goose bumps and felt a wild feeling through my bones. Im an industrial electrician and I used to have such a hard time finding true motivation with work and other things. Now, I turn Norse music on…I’m laser focused and motivated. That being said…im still having trouble with the “believing” thing and reversing years of telling myself that religion isn’t real…so much so that it makes me sad. Watching your videos have been ridiculously helpful and interesting. Also, from a fellow Kentuckian….West Sixth’s Oktoberfest is pure perfection!

I was Mormon as a child, but fell out of it before I was the age of 10. It just felt wrong. Then I was an atheist for the longest time, and then I finally followed up a repetitive dream I had, and it connected to Odin. Since then, the dream has stopped. Pretty sure Odin led me to the knowledge, even if I didn't pursue it immediately like I should have. Now that I'm learning more, I'm pretty sure Odin called to me. Still not sure why! But I'm very happy to honor his call.

KZbin is owned by Google so you can go into Google & change your ad topics to get rid of that. Search how to find that spot. You can leave spirituality & paganism on the ok list but remove religion, bible quotes, & daily scripture type things. By religion they do mean churches or Abrahamic or other - not pagan, but organized religion, religious conversion oriented things (& that might include Ba'hai or something else less pushy, but it's mainly fundamentalist thumpers). The spirituality ones will be connection to nature, outdoorsy, not selling anything or any ideas & it won't affect you looking up any form of spirituality that way - bc turning off religion may actually limit the churches' answers to mundane questions that can come up in search results for simple nonreligious information !!! too, lol. They sometimes pay for their blogs & websites to be "pushed," & it's actually called that, to be given prominence. I worked a night shift, it's best you search how to alter your ad settings bc I might explain it wrong but it's online how to. I did it & it worked. It's coming up on here bc though it's specific where you can do the above, when none are removed they're treated as one big category: "religion & spirituality." & They go by what's most mainstream... Certain political matters have made certain religious "values" & conversation more prominent than it used to be, people are using keywords & that made religious ads more common, but yes they pay for the time slot why you said. & Someone religious could manipulate it to show on pagan topics or atheist places, unless we opt out of that ad category. I no longer see them. I see ads for Celtic or Norse jewelry, Scandinavian travel, Irish language materials, Slavic Rodnovary art once, & any of that rarely. I mostly get ads for food, clothing, travel, art supplies, music, and books.

Laugardag, it means washing day, a day for personal hygiene before the next days probably worship day, Sunday or Søndag in Norwegian. It is all about sun worship. Sunday is the day! Sunday was followed as worship day by the Catholic Church, because it suited the pagans so good, in order to become Christians. But the "first Christians" were jews, and they worshipped God on Saturday, or Shabbat.

Hey! First of all thank you for making these videos! I just want to share my story of losing and finding faith. When I was a child I was raised as a christian. I was so devoted I wanted to become a priest (I live in Hungary so it felt natural to be christian). When I became a teenager I began to question existence, and so my spiritual guides literally expelled me from learning more, saying "we don't need agnostics and nay-sayers here". So for the last 20 or so years I was faithless. At first I felt free, like some great wheight fell off my shoulders. But now at 31 I realized I was drifting and had nothing to rely on, nothing to hold on to. The last few years especially felt like I was trapped in a loop of tragedies and hardships. The first of these was my bride leaving me but returning to me every year since. It was a really curious case of a love-hate relationship. We both love each-other to this day but somehow we can't be together for longer periods of time. And then I read the Prose Edda out of curiosity last year. I started to dive into norse mythology and found out about Hati and Sköll. For the first time in many years I finally found something I can relate to. And I think this is what make norse paganism great. There are many stories that are just common. and you can draw paralells between life and mythological stories. There is always a moral lesson that can be interpreted into life much more easily than any other religion. So again: thank you! Sharing this religion with people is something that makes me more committed than ever.

I don’t plan on changing faiths anytime soon (Baptist born and Bred), but I do love learning about other religions and faiths, so this video is still interesting to me.

@@lullz567 the way I see it, I am Christian. I believe in only one higher power, that being, well, god. And while little could ever change my beliefs (minus actually DYING and seeing myself as being wrong), I am open to learning about other religions. I’m not to say it’s impossible, but I’m also not to say it’s for sure.

My path while meeting only a few others of this faith/belief has taught that everyone's path is different. There is no wrong way or right way on your journey. There is your way. Enrich it by listening to as many stories from as many travelers as you can. The power of the internet can allow us to share our stories. Travel well my friends. Frostproof,FL.

The way you present information in your videos is so refreshing. I love the "perfessional" lecture feeling. In general, no specific to your videos, I wonder if there is a nonbinary term for followers. One of the reasons I'm, personally, drawn to the norse pantheon is how accepting it feels. Especially having a shape-shifter gender Bender among the halls. Even within Norwegian they have some "neutral" terms, which I feel like rings true to ancestors acceptance. More or less thinking out loud. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your content. Skål!

Upon listening to Nordic music and chants I felt very close to my spiritual side. Glad I found this video. I come from monotheistic religion myself, and so this is a very interesting religion to learn about and see if its something for me.

I am not a beginner in this faith or what I like to call, simply a way of life. With that said I still enjoyed this video, it can bring us all back to what this faith, way of life is truly about. You can make this faith as simple or as complicated as you want. Great video

I truly hope you can get the hall built. as someone who was raised Christian but struggles within the faith I have felt a pull to Norse Paganism it would be great to have a meeting place close by me that I could go and learn. I have always felt closer to "God" when I am in nature. I live somewhat near the cave run area.

Coming from a southern Baptist upbringing I can say that the emphasis on the afterlife has been one ofnthe toughest things for me to unlearn. I remember as a kid being terrified I would "sin" on accident and spend eternity in hell. Paganism has helped me transform my relationship with the afterlife and how I view death. Really loved the part where you said dying is just becoming an ancestor. WOW! 🥺🤍 what a beautiful way to put it.
