Regarding the concept of “luck,” in my profession, we used to joke that, sure, everyone wants their doctor to be smart, but what folks really want is for their doctor to be “lucky.”
Viking Metal lead me down this path.
Know that you are not alone!
I am Icelandic and I am not knowledgeable about the sagas, but all these names and stories are floating around in a kind of mental fog. This was very informative and interesting. I have often wondered why the sagas were written. All of this was handwritten on calfskin. This has been extremely expensive and time-consuming. Remarkable!
The conceptualization of 'luck' would be a good topic for a dedicated video.
Excellent and fascinating. Thank you.
This was highly informative! I'm going to subscribe to that podcast.
I can't wait to get your Havamal!
Loved the guitar sounds
Very interesting!
Thanks for the knowledge
Dr. Crawford, I would like to ask you what is your favorite story from the old myths and or who is your favorite god or goddess & why? Thank you for the wonderful videos.
In modern swedish "saga" just means 'fairy tale' usually. Its interesting to see how the meaning of the word has changed over time.
Maybe that's why the show vikings confused me a bit because the chivalry was missing. And my understanding is of the sagas with a duel and honor and it can get missed in the other sagas sometimes. It's still their but some do a better job at representing the honor in a man's heart.
Ja!

A quick question - some English speakers pronounced "while" and similar words with an h-sound, but I can't get a hang of whether it is a sort of dialect, a sociolect in certain dialects or what 😳 I find it very intriguing, but I can't find a pattern 😲 can anyone help me? 🙏
By the way - in Danish words like [what, who and where]/[hvad, hvem, hvor] also have a silent letter - but in Danish it is the h! 🤭 And to my knowledge there is no dialect in which it is pronounced, though there very well may be. How ever only about 5.5 mio. people speak Danish and Denmark is a very small country so I think it's ok to say I would probably know if there was? 🤔
Dr. Crawford says that the 'h' sound he makes in wh- words (what, where, while, etc) is a relic from older English-speaking generations, he picked it up from his grandparents. It's really not common anymore, but it is charming!
I think it's also a feature of some Scottish dialects.
Hv was pronounced with the "h" (aspiration) in older variants of all Scandinavian languages. In for example Icelandic the "h" isn't lost, but instead changed to something more like "kv"
First? ☺️
