Wow Arith. I've been binge watching as I've been binge painting today and I find myself very humbled at the things you have shared . The knowledge and the personal things . You seem to be a person living a life of deep transformation. May you experience peace and contentment.
For a different reason I was absolutely sure too, that I won't live past 25. Celebrated my 40th birthday recently. Life can be funny. :) Thank you for sharing your tattoos and meanings with us. .)
Dear Arith, thank you so much for sharing your tattoo's and their meanings with us. I admire your perseverance, and selfishly I'm very glad that you're still with us. Your video's have helped me immensely on my learning journey and I will forever be grateful. Thank you again, take care, and keep burning bright.
Being a tattooed person myself, I’m also interested to know what others have got on their bodies. I’m more interested to learn what their tattoos mean. I myself believe that tattoos must truly mean something to their owners. It’s a spiritual thing. I found this video both interesting and entertaining. I also feel a little more interested in you. I also have old scars and I think every scar is in itself a story waiting to be told. I hope one day you may share those stories. Today I thank you most sincerely for sharing your wonderful tattoos, Thank You.
I don’t know if tattoos must mean something. To me the story behind the tattoo means more. I’m talking about what happened to make you get it, how you ended up getting it.. stuff like that. Of course the meaning of the tattoo itself is kind of cool though
The spiritual essence of a peoples cannot reflect a current state or government so with that being said the Chinese peoples long written history of 5 thousand years + caught my eye long before my own heritage (Norwegian). I have taken the spiritual symbol of the 5 toed Emperor Dragon on my left upper arm, (energeticall receptor), and have it protecting the Pearl of Wisdon with it's clouded Vail. On the right upper arm I have the lesser 4 toed Chinese dragon in skeleton that embodies strength and existence after this mortal vehicle has expired, (the right arm is the energeticall release).
I am only 10 minutes into this video and have to take a moment to say that you fill my heart with total love. I don't know what happened in your past, but I do know that traumas can really distort and pervert one's sense of self or how emotions are perceived and felt. I froze in place for a very, very long time. I hope you see what a beacon of light you are, and that you allow to celebrate that about yourself
Thanks for sharing this, Arith. Your first tattoo resonates - on the one hand because I am going through difficult times myself, on the other because I also carry a sequence: Hagalaz, Isa, Laguz, Berkana and Dagaz. This basically is the sequence of disaster leading to a new beginning - the storm cannot be avoided, the suffering we experience leaves us frozen until time (or "fate", as some like to call it) brings about the melting of the ice, turning it into water - which in return soaks the lands, makes them fertile and enables seeds to sprout. This force of fertility always marks the beginning of a new dawn. Helps me cope with the horrors I had to experience in my past and the pain inflicted on me. That pain and horror seems to be similar to yours in a way, I can very much relate to what you say about not expecting to reach a certain age. I am just glad you are still around, too. :) ATB Ralf
Thank you very much for sharing a little bit of your life and the meaning of your tattoo ^^ Life is never without struggles, and when we are inserted in violent environments it's always hard to get out of that mentality. Sadly, a mentality that ends up shaping our personality for years to come, and then it's a whole other struggle to try to go against this rooted nature that has become the foundations of our own existence. It's tiring. I respect people who are always trying to become a better version than their previous selves and are aware of the harm and damage they can create but struggle to fight it and to change their nature. I'm happy to be here and I'm glad you are here too. Thank you friend. Perhaps the struggle will never come to an end, but it's worth it :)
@@ArithHärger Thanks for the kind words. I guess that is what makes the way of the warrior: Persistence in times of trouble, but without losing our humanity or humaneness. :)
It’s not what happens to you but how you react and deal with these things both good and bad that makes you who you are. Personally I went from being relatively well to disabled in a short period of time. No one expects to wake up I’ll and never get better, but I now understand myself better than at any time in my life. Facing death tends to put things in better perspective. My dear Arith, your outlook on things and your selflessness in sharing your extensive knowledge makes me believe that you are a fine and genuine individual. I wish that one day we could raise our glasses together and solve the worlds problems over a beer. Sköl!
Indeed, perhaps there's nothing quite like the prospect of imminent death to change our perspective of life. Although, to be perfectly honest here, my mind back then was always ready to welcome death (not so much these days, of course, as I have found joy in life). There was another event, not related to death, that changed my perception of life and the sacredness of it. I did volunteer work in an institution for physically and mentally challenged people, I'm not going into details, but that was the first big step into being more aware of life and respecting it, and the great gift that it is. Thank you so much for your words my friend. Glad you are around. Stay safe and well! :) Cheers!

Sometimes we can look back and find reasons for happiness in the strangest corners of our psyche. Just this morning I asked what the meaning of my birth injury was. At birth the doctors used an instrument that dented my face and pushed my nose agaist my face. It has caused 2 problems for me through my life. One is a sinus problem and the other is that during my childhood I was, in my own mind and others, considered “not a pretty girl” ….When I pulled tarot cards on the issue this morning, they all spoke of goodness and offerings of love - all of them cups. I was surprised and puzzled. Then I realised that the injury was actually a blessing when I thought of all that I had learned and how it was actually beneficial. I think it has given me compassion for others as well as the ability to overcome serious difficulties. It is not the only reason for this but that is what today has revealed to me. Thank you for your openness. 💛

You're right! I stumbled across this gem of a channel less than 24 hours ago...5 videos deep😅...historical self disclosure happening right here. Thank you for your authenticity Arith, its helped me make sense of some of the violence in my own life.
I just amazed by how your tattoos on the order you put them in that video makes me think its like the ragnarok cicle, the first meaning the cicle of life, the second one meaning the death and the third meaning the rebirth and power of creation, that point of view opened my mind to new conceptions of this themes to me, thank you! great work
Thank you for sharing! Amazing tattoos, I just tattoed myself a triple tiwaz on my spine, I really want you to do a vid about that, because I don't know where I can find more information, and it's so intresting. Cheers from Uruguay. Skål!
I remember a previous video when you explained your chest tattoo, but it was still a very pleasant journey into your mind and your point of view, I really appreciated it, thanks! The third tattoo and part of your description of it reminded me a song I wrote about 6 or 7 years ago, before I discovered your channel. It would be cool to make you listen to it, but I've only got a very bad quality audio recorded on my mobile phone, there is just my voice because I don't have a clue how to play it as it exists in my head, and I don't have the money to ask some musicians to help me out and make it really exist... 😅 So, well, yeah, never mind 😅 tack så väldigt mycket igen, Arith, see you on the next video!
Thank you for sharing things so personal. Tattoos are are infinitely fascinating --- so much complexity of thought/meaning contained in a few, simple lines. Please do more.
Fascinating insight into a fascinating individual. Thank you for sharing. Also, if you don't mind me saying, I can't help but feel you would look iconic with a bald head! Have an amazing day and keep the wisdom flowing!
Thank you very much for your kind words friend :D my pleasure! Hope you have enjoyed it. Back in 2020 I went bald for a couple of months. I must say it was actually quite refreshing and empowering in a way; I liked seeing myself bald. It was for a specific purpose back then, but I may do it again one of these days.
@@ArithHärger Go for it! Self-empowerment achieved through the mere cutting of hair is such a simple but poetic concept. Your response has made my day, friend. I recently found through DNA that I am Scandinavian to the tune of 26% and you have been an invaluable source of getting in touch with the my newly found ancestry. Again, many thanks
Really happy for this video. Not only because we've got to understand a bit about you, but also because it is fascinating to watch how different people interpret and relate to their life different symbols. Usually discussions regarding symbolism and meaning behind different images is built upon their history and cultural contexts surrounding them. Videos like this one add nuance and almost breath new life to them, it is always a joy to watch.
it was really interesting, thank you, I think you may continue if you'll want to) good luck with your project, but please don't abandon you channel completely. I appreciate your work very much and grateful for your knowledge and views.
Many thanks for sharing this, it has been most enjoyable,. Lovely to know more about you and your pathway of life, and also how you transformed through difficulty and the relationship of that healing and growing through challenges to symbolism and symbolic and mythic meaning.
Arith, as a suggestion, you did mention that you were going to expand upon some of your earlier rune videos in a more complex way like how your later rune videos became. Perhaps a revisiting of the runes could be some well received activity? I know that I, for one, would quite enjoy it.
I appreciate that you cannot remember how many tattoos you have. I finally have 1 tattoo, so I no longer need to count them. Thank you for Sharing I understand wanting to keep your privacy!
Airth...it's good to hear your path, perspective, and exemplar knowledge. Taken what you've already revealed, within the human energy, our pasts and retrospect are so closely related. Your wrist Runes makes a great prayer, ( prayer...loosely referring to vocal intention), forward. ☄🔥🌬🌊
1000 thanks for sharing the personal part of your own life and I LOVE hearing about what you know 😊👍 I have been following you for several years now 😆🤓 and I personally thought that what you are doing now by giving a little of your personal life makes me feel more like a good friend of yours now 😄👍 I thought that over time I have learned a lot from you about my own perception of beliefs / religion I myself am a small part of. 👨🎓 . I started smiling with joy and at the same time feeling like I was you and you were me. 🤯😄 not as such something wrong strangely clammy something but as that I myself have some of the same personal experiences in this life. I even have the first 2 of your tattoos on my body. however, our choice of design is different but the thoughts and feelings in them are of the same 😶? And YOU mean something in this life and YOU mean something to me as a good friend now 🙂 I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing if you might share 3 more at a time? 🙂 but again thank you so much for sharing the personal one by yourself All the best from here (Denmark 🇩🇰) PS. I do not have any other social media besides TH-cam. So I just wanted to hear how I can best support you financially? Because I want to contribute to all the good work you put into your videos and also as a "thank you" for that 👏🙂
Thank you again for sharing this. I know you are a very private person. I don't know if you know how much we care about you, your safety, health and happiness. You are a very important person and I have learned so much from you. I've been especially wanting to know the one on your chest for a long time. It's beautiful, and I look forward to Hel myself.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your story. Listening to you share the story behind some of your tattoos is interesting but it’s even more interesting what you share with out words. It fascinates me to listen to the stories each human canvas has to say and how each of us are drawn to different symbols to narrate our own struggles. Congratulations on hour accomplishments through this life’s journey 😊
Thank you for sharing. I'm always curious the meaning behind peoples tattoos. Sometimes they are just for show, other times they are an important person or date. Often they have some less obvious personal inflection. Mine are all representative of stages in my life.
I forget how many I have, they are addicting but each mean something. I tell a story on my body with them. I like yours. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us. I came from a rough and gruesome childhood that went into my young adulthood and I learned later in life when I let the bitterness and rage go because of what had happened to me that life is so much better when you think positive instead of negative. Blessings to you my friend and I just wish the best for you and your channel because it does help a lot of us that are trying to learn. You are a good man.
Thank you for sharing this private information. I know it stripping down a bit infront of others can be a little stressful. But you did awesome!! I know from working 3 jobs, doing anything on the side can be so hard to do. If not bloody impossible. So seeing you on here is a pleasure and a privilege. I know I would personally love to hear about the other tattoos!! I have been studying on which one would be something that represents who I am and believes. That is why I haven't just jumped into a tattoo. I love my runes!!! I love working with my runes!!! So I have been wondering myself about your wrist. Thank you for explaining. That was something (in a sense) I was wanting to do in a short form just not on my wrist. But not big either. Just big enough for me to see and to be reminded of when I feel like throwing in the towel. I love working with the elements, environment, ect. Thank you again so much for all the hard work you put into everything to show all of us. Much love and blessed be!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your understanding and meaning of some of your tattoos. And I want to say how refreshing it is to have you so open on these three clearly very important personal markings you placed on your body. You hint of scars, which are usually caused by something unwanted, some kind of aggression you would have wanted to not necessarily experience, but the representation, the scar, may have taken on meaning for you other than bodily damage. If you would have actively have them acheived, then I feel you would have talked differently about these and used different terms, like scarification. I'm sorry to hear that presently you find it difficult to balance a full working life with your YT presence, I can well understand the stresses, and am very glad and thankful for your efforts, now and in the past. I value your YT channel highly for their great depth of knowledge and detail, and often find myself going back to watch various episodes again, and also watch ones that I haven't, as sadly I didn't get to find your valued contributions until you were already well established here. Thank you again.
Thank you for sharing with us. It does feel encouraging to know you went through so much hardship and yet you survived and grew stronger and wiser. As for the ideas for content, have you ever talked about unfriendly relationships between humans and spirits? I tried to find content on your channel regarding how to deal with spirits when they cause us harm but haven't found it. It may be my poor searching skills though. I wish you have a good spring. Obrigado por hoje.
I seriously LOVE seeing him read at the end of his videos. Just as American Gangster Rappers have to "Represent" through their behaviour, personal style and lyrics : - "Representing" their crew, their hood, their originality, their ethos... ...so too we see that LORD ARITH (Bad-Boy M.C. on the m.i.c.) *must* come Old-School with it, by "Bigging-Up" the mystical, ancient act of reading, like a Scholar of the late Dark Ages might do! His Reading-Powers are... FORMIDABLE!!!
alway be well Arith! - and do this because it is something you get something from always . i do my own tattoos , and i've run out of 'canvas' . . .interesting my first self made tattoos were Tiwaz and Algiz on my left wrist because of how i felt about their meanings in my life. Wow, 'wasting alot of time trying to find the meaning of life' - Brilliant Arith. It's interesting i love everything you said about the bind rune., and because of what i see as extended lines of the first rune, i thought that would be the 'gift' (gebo) of completing a cycle of life. Not a heavenly thing , just recognition of the cycle of life and death feeding each other. - and then you describe your shoulder tattoo , which sort of covers that - Thankyou!
Cool ink. I have an ouroboros encircling a sun on my right upper arm, a leviathan cross on my right ribcage, “oṃ namaḥ śivāya” (homage to Śiva) in the devanāgari script on my left forearm, and just had a large back tattoo completed yesterday of a tree with the Sephiroth and their planetary symbols in the branches and the Qliphoth and the inverted planets in the roots.
Hi Arith, thanks for opening up about yourself. Like so many other members of this community , your life experience resonates a lot with me. On one hand , I hoped to be alive but so many things in my past made me also consider not doing so , that feeling began in my late teens and carried on through my 20's. Fortunately, it seems like most us if here have overcome those feelings of total despair. I hope you and the rest of the community keeps thriving. 🥰☀️
Hi Arith, this was really interesting and gave me some ideas for a tattoo if I want to get one I didn't know you could use bind runes for a tattoo. Thanks for explaining the meaning behind them gave me lots of food for thought.
@@ArithHärger he is doing just fine , not as active in december and january but shooting around the viv now :) showing his little white belly and sticking his tongue out at me !! hope you and the furry babies are well !
Wonderful! I'm happy he's going just fine. Hope all is well at your end too! The furry babies don't stop growing. I'm afraid I'll have to find a bigger room for them lol.
Thank you for sharing this personal aspect of your life. I find your content very educational and curious, yet relaxing, and I appreciate your continued effort on TH-cam. I'm glad you have made such progress and journeys in your life and continue upward and onward in your path. ✌️
I have loved your content for a long time, and consider your videos as often the highlight of my week. This video was great to me because I also never expected to make it to 25 after a life of violence. I know you like your privacy, and I don't comment often because I do as well 😅. Thanks for sharing this time.
Ha ha! Somebody's reading my mind because i was just thinking that would be a good video yesterday when the serpent was showing though the gap in your dress shirt!
Do we see any portrayals of an ouroboros in the surviving artworks from the Nordic period (migration era or viking era particularly)? I know of course that Jormungandr is described as biting his tail, but I don't know that I've seen any portrayals in art. And also in one of the Helgi poems in the poetic edda, I remember a description of a sword with a serpent biting its tail on the hilt. But I have never seen an actual sword with that motif!
Thought I already was in Hel ! Lol.xx ❤️this the thought behind every tattoo is a process I go through before actually getting it. The whole Norse mythology & belief system has always resonated with me and was drawn to it at an early age but as in life I’m still learning. Thanks for further educating me. Quick question. The first rune on your wrist, is there a female equivalent? ( I will look this up). I’m off to figure out my new ‘bindrunetattoo ! Xx❤️🏴😜
Airth, you say you are working so much that you dont have material for videos. Please share with us your adventures, be they archeological or some others. Although i am not interested in tattoos, im interested in archeological stories you may have. Thank you.
Hello! Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge! What do you think about tattooing the full elder futhark? Many people advise not to do it due to the energetic charge that each rune represents, multiplied 24 times. Greetings from Argentina!
I liked the part where you said "you're already valid for being you". Often I see parents not granting their kids an own personality, or value their views on things, or consider their feelings. No matter how small they are, they already must be treated with the same respect as a grown up. I only walk with them for a short time of their life, and they want to learn and grow and not be me all over again. I'm not living through my children and make them what I want them to be. I'm just an observer and servant (with toddlers more often than not. 😂).
As many others have said thank you for doing this. May I ask an opinion of you? I have been thinking of getting a Tiwaz rune tattoo, however, I feel that it just needs more. I have heard from others to just stack the rune which I like the idea but again I want to make more catching. Do you have any recommendations/suggestions to add with the rune? Or even an idea of a bind rune with Tiwaz?
Hello there friend, how's it going? Well, of course you have to be the one finding a meaning that best suits you and your purpose and what you want to express. Although I think tiwaz would look cool with an inverted Algiz at the other end. It would be something like ᛏ on the upper end, and ᛦ on the lower end, which kind of creates a sort of stylized representation of an arrow (this representation can be quite representative in itself of the binding of these two runes in these positions). Instead of ᛦ you can always try the Anglo-Saxon rune ᛠ , although this one by itself isn't very "positive", if you take my meaning. Although I should like to say that the ᛠ rune is older than any Runic script in Germanic context, as it already appears in pre-Roman Paleohispanic scripts, at least 900 years before the runes were introduced to Germanic peoples. The ᛠ runiform in North-Eastern Iberian and Eastern Celtiberian represent the "m" sonant, while in Anglo-Saxon is "ea". Just a thought, of course.
Aaaaa muito obrigada por esclarecer que nos registros está que todos vão para Hel porque há uma adaptação 'moderna' de que os mortos em batalha iriam para Valhalla... Ou isso é só algo inventado nos Vikings? Hahahha thanks for all these informations Dear Arith and beautiful tatoos!
Isn‘t ᚼ the younger futhark Rune for hagalaz? The combination wtith the elder futhark mannaz appears as the Rune for the a-sound on some transitional runestones between elder and younger furharc so my First thougt was that you actually were referring to the ár rune (coming from jera). This would twist the meaning a bit I guess ;)
Yes, I see what you are saying, in the last stages of the Elder Futhark due to the changes in sound values and transition to Old Norse the initial Jera was indeed ᚼ , but I wanted to follow the consolidation of the Younger Futhark in plain Old Norse ("classic"), when ᚼ = h ; ᛅ = a, æ, e ; ᚾ = n ; ᚬ = ą, o, æ
I seriously don't like the feeling of Wunjo all the definitions feel opposite for me?. I'm new to Odin and I've studied the runes for a few years but I woke up on day and knew them all. Then I learned to chant them in 2 days... I started doing a different sequence intuitivelly and wish I had of wrote it down.
Excelente vídeo e Sábias explicações de suas tatuagens, amigo de jornada. Sigo na dor e sofrimento. Sem vontade sequer de sair do submundo lutando com meus demônios ou bebendo com eles.

Thanks for sharing this, Arith.
Your first tattoo resonates - on the one hand because I am going through difficult times myself, on the other because I also carry a sequence:
Hagalaz, Isa, Laguz, Berkana and Dagaz. This basically is the sequence of disaster leading to a new beginning - the storm cannot be avoided, the suffering we experience leaves us frozen until time (or "fate", as some like to call it) brings about the melting of the ice, turning it into water - which in return soaks the lands, makes them fertile and enables seeds to sprout. This force of fertility always marks the beginning of a new dawn.
Helps me cope with the horrors I had to experience in my past and the pain inflicted on me. That pain and horror seems to be similar to yours in a way, I can very much relate to what you say about not expecting to reach a certain age.
I am just glad you are still around, too. :)

This is historical in terms of your channel. Thank you for staying on TH-cam and being your authentic self always.
You're right!
I stumbled across this gem of a channel less than 24 hours ago...5 videos deep😅...historical self disclosure happening right here.
Thank you for your authenticity Arith, its helped me make sense of some of the violence in my own life.
Than you so much for sharing all your knowledge ❤️😊🙌
You are so knowledgeable about these topics. I'm glad you're still here with us
Hello, I am a new listener. Thank you for sharing, i would love to hear some more on your tattoo's. You are just brilliant!
Thank you 🤟🦌🤟
Un grand merci pour la traduction !!!!!
Thank you Arith for speaking about your self.
Grazie
Would be so cool to learn more about the rest of your tattoos. Thanks for these
I just amazed by how your tattoos on the order you put them in that video makes me think its like the ragnarok cicle, the first meaning the cicle of life, the second one meaning the death and the third meaning the rebirth and power of creation, that point of view opened my mind to new conceptions of this themes to me, thank you! great work
Thank you for sharing! Amazing tattoos, I just tattoed myself a triple tiwaz on my spine, I really want you to do a vid about that, because I don't know where I can find more information, and it's so intresting. Cheers from Uruguay. Skål!
This was lovely! Thank you for sharing about your tattoos!
I remember a previous video when you explained your chest tattoo, but it was still a very pleasant journey into your mind and your point of view, I really appreciated it, thanks! The third tattoo and part of your description of it reminded me a song I wrote about 6 or 7 years ago, before I discovered your channel. It would be cool to make you listen to it, but I've only got a very bad quality audio recorded on my mobile phone, there is just my voice because I don't have a clue how to play it as it exists in my head, and I don't have the money to ask some musicians to help me out and make it really exist... 😅 So, well, yeah, never mind 😅 tack så väldigt mycket igen, Arith, see you on the next video!
Thank you for sharing things so personal. Tattoos are are infinitely fascinating --- so much complexity of thought/meaning contained in a few, simple lines. Please do more.
Fascinating insight into a fascinating individual. Thank you for sharing. Also, if you don't mind me saying, I can't help but feel you would look iconic with a bald head! Have an amazing day and keep the wisdom flowing!
Thank you very much for your kind words friend :D my pleasure! Hope you have enjoyed it. Back in 2020 I went bald for a couple of months. I must say it was actually quite refreshing and empowering in a way; I liked seeing myself bald. It was for a specific purpose back then, but I may do it again one of these days.
@@ArithHärger Go for it! Self-empowerment achieved through the mere cutting of hair is such a simple but poetic concept. Your response has made my day, friend.
I recently found through DNA that I am Scandinavian to the tune of 26% and you have been an invaluable source of getting in touch with the my newly found ancestry. Again, many thanks
Love your stuff kick on love it
Really happy for this video. Not only because we've got to understand a bit about you, but also because it is fascinating to watch how different people interpret and relate to their life different symbols. Usually discussions regarding symbolism and meaning behind different images is built upon their history and cultural contexts surrounding them. Videos like this one add nuance and almost breath new life to them, it is always a joy to watch.
it was really interesting, thank you, I think you may continue if you'll want to) good luck with your project, but please don't abandon you channel completely. I appreciate your work very much and grateful for your knowledge and views.
We have been waiting for this one Arith!
Many thanks for sharing this, it has been most enjoyable,. Lovely to know more about you and your pathway of life, and also how you transformed through difficulty and the relationship of that healing and growing through challenges to symbolism and symbolic and mythic meaning.
Arith, as a suggestion, you did mention that you were going to expand upon some of your earlier rune videos in a more complex way like how your later rune videos became. Perhaps a revisiting of the runes could be some well received activity? I know that I, for one, would quite enjoy it.
Obrigado
I appreciate that you cannot remember how many tattoos you have. I finally have 1 tattoo, so I no longer need to count them. Thank you for Sharing I understand wanting to keep your privacy!
Airth...it's good to hear your path, perspective, and exemplar knowledge. Taken what you've already revealed, within the human energy, our pasts and retrospect are so closely related. Your wrist Runes makes a great prayer, ( prayer...loosely referring to vocal intention), forward. ☄🔥🌬🌊
1000 thanks for sharing the personal part of your own life and I LOVE hearing about what you know 😊👍
I have been following you for several years now 😆🤓 and I personally thought that what you are doing now by giving a little of your personal life makes me feel more like a good friend of yours now 😄👍
I thought that over time I have learned a lot from you about my own perception of beliefs / religion I myself am a small part of. 👨🎓
. I started smiling with joy and at the same time feeling like I was you and you were me. 🤯😄 not as such something wrong strangely clammy something but as that I myself have some of the same personal experiences in this life.
I even have the first 2 of your tattoos on my body.
however, our choice of design is different but the thoughts and feelings in them are of the same 😶?
And YOU mean something in this life and YOU mean something to me as a good friend now 🙂
I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing if you might share 3 more at a time? 🙂 but again thank you so much for sharing the personal one by yourself
All the best from here (Denmark 🇩🇰)
PS. I do not have any other social media besides TH-cam.
So I just wanted to hear how I can best support you financially? Because I want to contribute to all the good work you put into your videos and also as a "thank you" for that 👏🙂
Thank you again for sharing this. I know you are a very private person. I don't know if you know how much we care about you, your safety, health and happiness. You are a very important person and I have learned so much from you. I've been especially wanting to know the one on your chest for a long time. It's beautiful, and I look forward to Hel myself.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your story. Listening to you share the story behind some of your tattoos is interesting but it’s even more interesting what you share with out words.
It fascinates me to listen to the stories each human canvas has to say and how each of us are drawn to different symbols to narrate our own struggles.
Congratulations on hour accomplishments through this life’s journey 😊
Thank you for sharing. I'm always curious the meaning behind peoples tattoos. Sometimes they are just for show, other times they are an important person or date. Often they have some less obvious personal inflection. Mine are all representative of stages in my life.
I forget how many I have, they are addicting but each mean something. I tell a story on my body with them. I like yours.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us. I came from a rough and gruesome childhood that went into my young adulthood and I learned later in life when I let the bitterness and rage go because of what had happened to me that life is so much better when you think positive instead of negative. Blessings to you my friend and I just wish the best for you and your channel because it does help a lot of us that are trying to learn. You are a good man.
Holy shit that's your sigil 🤯🤯🤯 powerful.
Thank you for sharing this private information. I know it stripping down a bit infront of others can be a little stressful. But you did awesome!! I know from working 3 jobs, doing anything on the side can be so hard to do. If not bloody impossible. So seeing you on here is a pleasure and a privilege. I know I would personally love to hear about the other tattoos!! I have been studying on which one would be something that represents who I am and believes. That is why I haven't just jumped into a tattoo. I love my runes!!! I love working with my runes!!! So I have been wondering myself about your wrist. Thank you for explaining. That was something (in a sense) I was wanting to do in a short form just not on my wrist. But not big either. Just big enough for me to see and to be reminded of when I feel like throwing in the towel. I love working with the elements, environment, ect.
Thank you again so much for all the hard work you put into everything to show all of us. Much love and blessed be!! ❤❤❤❤
J’aime que tes paroles soient pleines d’esprit,
Thank you for sharing your understanding and meaning of some of your tattoos. And I want to say how refreshing it is to have you so open on these three clearly very important personal markings you placed on your body.
You hint of scars, which are usually caused by something unwanted, some kind of aggression you would have wanted to not necessarily experience, but the representation, the scar, may have taken on meaning for you other than bodily damage. If you would have actively have them acheived, then I feel you would have talked differently about these and used different terms, like scarification.
I'm sorry to hear that presently you find it difficult to balance a full working life with your YT presence, I can well understand the stresses, and am very glad and thankful for your efforts, now and in the past. I value your YT channel highly for their great depth of knowledge and detail, and often find myself going back to watch various episodes again, and also watch ones that I haven't, as sadly I didn't get to find your valued contributions until you were already well established here. Thank you again.
Thank you for sharing with us. It does feel encouraging to know you went through so much hardship and yet you survived and grew stronger and wiser. As for the ideas for content, have you ever talked about unfriendly relationships between humans and spirits? I tried to find content on your channel regarding how to deal with spirits when they cause us harm but haven't found it. It may be my poor searching skills though. I wish you have a good spring. Obrigado por hoje.
I seriously LOVE seeing him read at the end of his videos.
Just as American Gangster Rappers have to "Represent"
through their behaviour, personal style and lyrics :
- "Representing" their crew, their hood, their originality, their ethos...
...so too we see that LORD ARITH (Bad-Boy M.C. on the m.i.c.) *must* come Old-School with it,
by "Bigging-Up" the mystical, ancient act of reading, like a Scholar of the late Dark Ages might do!
His Reading-Powers are... FORMIDABLE!!!
alway be well Arith! - and do this because it is something you get something from always . i do my own tattoos , and i've run out of 'canvas' . . .interesting my first self made tattoos were Tiwaz and Algiz on my left wrist because of how i felt about their meanings in my life. Wow, 'wasting alot of time trying to find the meaning of life' - Brilliant Arith. It's interesting i love everything you said about the bind rune., and because of what i see as extended lines of the first rune, i thought that would be the 'gift' (gebo) of completing a cycle of life. Not a heavenly thing , just recognition of the cycle of life and death feeding each other. - and then you describe your shoulder tattoo , which sort of covers that - Thankyou!
Meaning of Algiz brought me to your channel!It was given to mr and I had nooo idea.Very beautiful gift indeed,your videos are awesome.
Cool ink. I have an ouroboros encircling a sun on my right upper arm, a leviathan cross on my right ribcage, “oṃ namaḥ śivāya” (homage to Śiva) in the devanāgari script on my left forearm, and just had a large back tattoo completed yesterday of a tree with the Sephiroth and their planetary symbols in the branches and the Qliphoth and the inverted planets in the roots.
Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed the video
Hi Arith, thanks for opening up about yourself. Like so many other members of this community , your life experience resonates a lot with me. On one hand , I hoped to be alive but so many things in my past made me also consider not doing so , that feeling began in my late teens and carried on through my 20's. Fortunately, it seems like most us if here have overcome those feelings of total despair. I hope you and the rest of the community keeps thriving. 🥰☀️
Hi Arith, this was really interesting and gave me some ideas for a tattoo if I want to get one I didn't know you could use bind runes for a tattoo. Thanks for explaining the meaning behind them gave me lots of food for thought.
Love the serpents. Please keep up with the videos. Thank you!
very interesting ! 3 cheers for the serpent !
Danger-noodles and Nope-ropes are fascinating companions! How's yours by the way?
@@ArithHärger he is doing just fine , not as active in december and january but shooting around the viv now :) showing his little white belly and sticking his tongue out at me !! hope you and the furry babies are well !
Wonderful! I'm happy he's going just fine. Hope all is well at your end too! The furry babies don't stop growing. I'm afraid I'll have to find a bigger room for them lol.
@@ArithHärger but i know you would build a palace for them as long as they were happy :)
Thoth is everywhere ♥️
Thank you for sharing this personal aspect of your life. I find your content very educational and curious, yet relaxing, and I appreciate your continued effort on TH-cam. I'm glad you have made such progress and journeys in your life and continue upward and onward in your path. ✌️
Good Video Idea you have enough to make a small easy video series .. just an idea
I have loved your content for a long time, and consider your videos as often the highlight of my week. This video was great to me because I also never expected to make it to 25 after a life of violence. I know you like your privacy, and I don't comment often because I do as well 😅. Thanks for sharing this time.
im a tattoo person and just got a memorial for my son who passed in July and im up around 30-35
Brutal! Loved 👌💪
Ha ha! Somebody's reading my mind because i was just thinking that would be a good video yesterday when the serpent was showing though the gap in your dress shirt!
Do we see any portrayals of an ouroboros in the surviving artworks from the Nordic period (migration era or viking era particularly)? I know of course that Jormungandr is described as biting his tail, but I don't know that I've seen any portrayals in art. And also in one of the Helgi poems in the poetic edda, I remember a description of a sword with a serpent biting its tail on the hilt. But I have never seen an actual sword with that motif!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on "romanticising death to the point of disrespecting life". That part of me really needed to be called out...
Thought I already was in Hel ! Lol.xx ❤️this the thought behind every tattoo is a process I go through before actually getting it. The whole Norse mythology & belief system has always resonated with me and was drawn to it at an early age but as in life I’m still learning. Thanks for further educating me. Quick question. The first rune on your wrist, is there a female equivalent? ( I will look this up). I’m off to figure out my new ‘bindrunetattoo ! Xx❤️🏴😜
Airth, you say you are working so much that you dont have material for videos. Please share with us your adventures, be they archeological or some others. Although i am not interested in tattoos, im interested in archeological stories you may have. Thank you.
i agree with you 100% about death
Hello! Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge! What do you think about tattooing the full elder futhark? Many people advise not to do it due to the energetic charge that each rune represents, multiplied 24 times. Greetings from Argentina!
Can we get another video
This one was amazing 🤩
I liked the part where you said "you're already valid for being you". Often I see parents not granting their kids an own personality, or value their views on things, or consider their feelings. No matter how small they are, they already must be treated with the same respect as a grown up. I only walk with them for a short time of their life, and they want to learn and grow and not be me all over again. I'm not living through my children and make them what I want them to be. I'm just an observer and servant (with toddlers more often than not. 😂).
OK this is freaky everytime I'm smoking my divination blend you show up.
You have summoned me, and I have come :p
@@ArithHärger 🤔 was it the runes... Yeah these amazing symbols do amazing things 🤣 your witty too.
Wunjo is also the banner of the clan. It helps you to gather the like of us, the community.
We so love you and you're tattoo s Big yes
I need the henbane Dosage 🤣🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
As many others have said thank you for doing this.
May I ask an opinion of you? I have been thinking of getting a Tiwaz rune tattoo, however, I feel that it just needs more. I have heard from others to just stack the rune which I like the idea but again I want to make more catching. Do you have any recommendations/suggestions to add with the rune? Or even an idea of a bind rune with Tiwaz?
Hello there friend, how's it going? Well, of course you have to be the one finding a meaning that best suits you and your purpose and what you want to express. Although I think tiwaz would look cool with an inverted Algiz at the other end. It would be something like ᛏ on the upper end, and ᛦ on the lower end, which kind of creates a sort of stylized representation of an arrow (this representation can be quite representative in itself of the binding of these two runes in these positions). Instead of ᛦ you can always try the Anglo-Saxon rune ᛠ , although this one by itself isn't very "positive", if you take my meaning. Although I should like to say that the ᛠ rune is older than any Runic script in Germanic context, as it already appears in pre-Roman Paleohispanic scripts, at least 900 years before the runes were introduced to Germanic peoples. The ᛠ runiform in North-Eastern Iberian and Eastern Celtiberian represent the "m" sonant, while in Anglo-Saxon is "ea". Just a thought, of course.
🤣🤣🤣 I used to say I'd die when I was 24.
New Love Grows on trees by?? the baby shambles or the libertines.
This song will make you laugh x
Love the Vid thank you for sharing, but did you mean to wear a orange jumper, sorta makes you look like an x-con (at least in the US)
Aaaaa muito obrigada por esclarecer que nos registros está que todos vão para Hel porque há uma adaptação 'moderna' de que os mortos em batalha iriam para Valhalla... Ou isso é só algo inventado nos Vikings? Hahahha thanks for all these informations Dear Arith and beautiful tatoos!
Magic is done in secret x
Isn‘t ᚼ the younger futhark Rune for hagalaz? The combination wtith the elder futhark mannaz appears as the Rune for the a-sound on some transitional runestones between elder and younger furharc so my First thougt was that you actually were referring to the ár rune (coming from jera). This would twist the meaning a bit I guess ;)
Yes, I see what you are saying, in the last stages of the Elder Futhark due to the changes in sound values and transition to Old Norse the initial Jera was indeed ᚼ , but I wanted to follow the consolidation of the Younger Futhark in plain Old Norse ("classic"), when ᚼ = h ; ᛅ = a, æ, e ; ᚾ = n ; ᚬ = ą, o, æ
Do you have, or have you started, a patreon? It might help with the issues with the 3 jobs.
I am Interested to learn how someone with Jewish roots came to embrace Germanic spirituality? Can you tell us of your journey?
Sooo.. If you have between 15 and 20 tattoos..... We can look forward to more of these videoes, right? Pretty please?
Where is that hoodie from?
I bought it from my friend Valhyr :D You can check him at Instagram and his website with the merchandise of his work. Valhyr is a very cool guy ^^
. . "not doing anything abnormal" . . . hahahah - you don't know what you're missing . couldn't resist.
"you joining, little devils!"... Ha!
Danger noodle alert!
I seriously don't like the feeling of Wunjo all the definitions feel opposite for me?.
I'm new to Odin and I've studied the runes for a few years but I woke up on day and knew them all. Then I learned to chant them in 2 days... I started doing a different sequence intuitivelly and wish I had of wrote it down.
I came for the danger noodle. Now i have to wait for next time 😭
Oh you are so beautiful and absolutely hilarious ❤ *sighs* I swore I only fantasized a man such as you existed! Stay alive!
The thumbnail looks like a prisoner in an orange jumpsuit sitting at an interrogation table
Here those jumpsuits are light-brown.
@@ArithHärger I think it also depends on what you're in for
❤️😍
Excelente vídeo e Sábias explicações de suas tatuagens, amigo de jornada. Sigo na dor e sofrimento. Sem vontade sequer de sair do submundo lutando com meus demônios ou bebendo com eles. Grande abraço, Arith. Leonardo de Soure Marajó Pará Brasil
P. S. : tenho 13 tatuagens com simbolismos ocultos, no mínimo
