Jive, I have been collecting resources for Ethnomusicological research, and your passing mention of bells in use by the revellers of Frey has been useful to me. I have to ask, can you clarify this ‘meribund’, warrior origin for the bardic class? Or point me to where you might have spoken about this before? All of my academic sources point to bardic arts being the purview of poets, branching out of the priestly class. I would be interested to find that a warrior origin is to be presumed (in Celtic Studies, the pansies in my discipline are often wont to consider Celtic bardic characters as borderline pacifists, even though they both help and harm fellow warrior with their praises and satire).
Would be interesting to see some content on the gothic migration, I’d especially love to learn more on the period of Arianism. A very interesting period that’s almost hidden in history.

whoa i never knew this here in india in usually sanskrit speaking languages, the word sisupal is used to describe a betrayer or one who insults without a stop i once went to a math( a religous place that i cannot really describe) where people usually talk in pure hindi or sanskrit and saw the word sisupal being used
Oh this will be awesome. Thank you for this video. Hardly anyone covers Starkad. I knew I had to catch up bit I can't believe I missed this one. The battle of Bravellir is probably my favorite of ancient times. 🗡️⚔️🛡️🏰☠️🖤
You missed a part of the Story of Sisupala. He was in fact the gatekeeper of Vaikuntha along with his brother( Bhramha is not a name but a position like President and Prime Minster assigned by Lord Vishnu). They were known as Jaya and Vijaya. They once refused to allow the four-mind-begotten sons of Brahma, the one who holds the office as a creator. As a result, the four sons cursed them to either spend 7 lives in the mortal realm as a great devotee of Vishnu (as repentance for mocking the four brothers because of their ignorance) or be arch-rival of Narayan for three lives and be slain by Narayan himself. The duo wanted to be back in Vaikuntha ASAP and chose 3 lives as arch-rivals of Narayan. So the one who really knows the whole story of Ramayan and Mahabharat would not say that the story is not sympathetic to Sisupal, he was in fact doing all that is needed to get back to Vaikuntha as the gatekeeper which is shown when he is dissolved into Krishna Symbolising he is back to his position. The learned men like Bhisma, Yudhishthira, and other sages know it. This is seen with every character, When we look at anyone in a limited time frame, we may judge them based on their actions and inactions; but when we see the larger picture we find nobody was really good or bad (or evil). It is just a matter of time and this is the essence of Sanatan Dharma - the eternal multidimensional, multiversal cosmic order.
Couldn’t Orion also be considered as a Hellenic variant of Starkad? His myths preserved the monstrous features, blindness, transgressive behavior against caste and women as well as being blessed and cursed by the gods. He also sought to kill King Oenopion and finally eternally joined with the celestial heavens as a constellation. Though I admit he lacks the clear warrior station (though in many cultures a good hunter is equated to a warrior), as well as the respect for the king’s station in social hierarchy. I am also unaware of a poet or artistic attribute.
I haven't seen a video from this channel in my TH-cam feed in at least a year I had to randomly find this channel again to find out I was already subscribed
Hail Starkad! Amazing video, so insightful! I very much appreciate your content, it helps me greatly in discovering my own spirituality and making sense out of things by being able to at least have a glimpse at how our ancestors lived and what they believed in a world they inhabited.
Most of your viewers will not understand this video. It is important to note, I think, that by this point in time the Berserk ‘guild’ (if that is what they were) are seen to have fallen greatly from their former status and lost much of their honour and skill. Starkad, as a reject of all groups, is a reaffirming figure, constantly dissatisfied with a melting, debased and devolving world far removed from the ideals which formed him, and which he holds in esteem.
idk i have a more pragmatist understanding of the evolution of myth, stories arent' for or against the past, presnet or future. but whatever interpretation and desires for each, that the tellers have, and there are always competing stories told. just as we see retellings of ancient stories to suit the producers and writers values interests and goals today, i am confident there was no global agreement to only tell xyz story in abc a way for mno reasons. the person who told it yesterday may tell it in a way to reaffirm values they percieve as missing from the day prior, the person who tells it tomorrow may have very different values and goals, and find very different things in the story. self esteemed warrior poet types who gravitate towards these online communities like to think of themselves as honoring an unspecified past honorable point in time or place, but are really just using the past as a front for their future vision of the way things ought to be. our priorities for how we view the past, and the priorities of those who produces the stories we look to, are always through a lense of personal self interest and goal seeking that motivates the work of record keeping, and record seeking in the first place. to guide future action in a way we see as good
That's really cool. Never heard about. I wonder if the word Stark (strong in Swedish) comes from him or if it's the other way around. I find it sad that there are so many pagan legends, stories etc that we will never hear of but that are there. Same with the different tribes that lived in Sweden that Jordanes mentioned. Would be amazing to have the knowledge to know who they were, what differentiated them, how they lived etc. We know so little about our ancestors :')
You mentioned the etymology for "Gabriel" at 19:30 as meaning "strong like God", I would add that El was a specific deity in a Semitic pantheon as well as a general word for a god, before the Yahwist cult eventually morphed the term into referring to their one true god (Elohim). Speaking of which, would you ever be willing to do a video on the subject of Semitic paganism? It is quite an interesting tradition, and Judaism and Christianity both owe a lot of their philosophy to it.
True story: While watching this, I paused and started searching for any myths involving Starkad and wolf packs -- not because of the "lone wolf" trope, but because I've long held that European individualism originated with "outcast" males that competed with wolf packs for megafauna scraps left by human hunting packs -- usually killing off the outcast males but eventually resulting in a new technology: individualistic man with his own canid hunting pack as a more efficient utilization of winter calories that came to dominate paleolithic Eurasia as megafauna disappeared and were replaced by smaller game as the source of winter calories. "Everyman an Alpha" .... with the lower "caste" being his wolf pack conquered in champion combat with the alpha wolf. I was rather disappointed that all I found was the "lone wolf" trope in search engines with Starkad. Then I gave up and started listening again. When the Irish legend came up, I thought: "Ah... maybe this will show a connection with wolves, because Christianization happened so early in Ireland that aspects of the original myth may have snuck through." BINGO
There's another guy who's had a similar idea. A guy who's engaged in a bit of social engineering in the US right now... I may look him up and get back to you on that, if I remember.
Fascinating... never thought of European individualism stemming from that outcast "lone wolf" mentality, but was very aware of the fact that the belief system of the world's major religions stem from its geographic environment. You have Judeo-Christian & Islamic thought from the desert, thus "God/ YHVH/ Allah" is just one (desert), is harsh, & you have to take your neighbour's wives & sheep to get rich. & then you have Hindu-Buddhist thought from ancient India, where you can't really die even if you're "lazy"... you won't starve as you can just pick coconuts & bananas & delicious spices & herbs that heal (God always provides). Life isn't that much of a struggle (back then, of course modern India is now a totally different environment since all those European lone wolves looted all of India's riches) & you see "God" in every diverse thing, the lush jungles, the peacock, the tiger, the monkey, the elephant.
@@Jumpoable The temperate climate hunter gatherer simple households (alpha-man, woman, children, and beta-canid hunting pack) also had to "steal" winter protein from each other, which would naturally take the form of plying their hunting skills in one-on-one mutual hunt in nature. The winner would not be able to take on the support, during winter, of his defeated (dead) enemy's dependents unless he were, himself, free of dependents. There would naturally be competition between women for the winning man and I would imagine that it could get quite vicious, as well as selecting for feminine characteristics that appealed to the winning man. The implications for Western civilization are subtle but profound.
@@jabowery Unfortunately this sort of primitive thinking for survival (basically fear-based insecurity) still plagues us to this day. I hope the Age of Aquarius will truly bring forth a new way of living for humankind (with this paradigm shift thanks to a global pandemic)...
Would you be interested in doing a video on the pagan origins of European martial arts? Like the European traditions of wrestling across the ancient world and similar fighting traditions in India that have been around for countless years
Great video and illustrations. Thank you for being one who teaches Indo-European culture and myths. It would be great to have a good well made book with those illustrations.
Though the story of Sisupala is old, there is a Classical Sanskrit epic poem Sisupala vadha (killing of Sisupala) by poet Magha en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shishupala_Vadha
Hi Tom, I was wondering on your thoughts on the Jutish hypothesis. That is the hypothesise that the Jutes were originally Geats from gotaland who migrated to Jutland, and then to britain. There are various different points raised in favour of this, such as Jutland being referred to as Reid-gotaland by old texts, Alfred the great claiming gothic descent from his mother's Jutish side, and the etymological links between Jutes Geats and Goths (Gautar/Geutana). Regardless, interesting video. It is cool to see the closeness between the various indo-european beliefs and dieties.
@@Survivethejive whilst not a complete lone wolf, he's often alone on his own side in court, constant logger heads with a version of Alfred who is not part of the warrior class. And destined to not have his own estate. And yet loyal to the king. Via a bit of coercion ofc.
@@iBlagg8 Do you mean Uhtred? He is certainly a Sigma male in the vein of Starkad. Whether Cornwell was directly inspired by ancient IE motifs we cannot say but certainly Uhtred has similar attitudes. That said Cornwell is a very IE driven writer anyway when you consider that Richard Sharpe is also a sigma chad.
At a very remote time we all shared the same religion. In another video you spoke of parallels between many faced gods in Indian and pre-Christian European mythologies... Sometimes the similarity is not just in function but in deities' names
Star Chad injects toxic masculinity mixed with wolf blood straight into his heart. He starts off his day by punching a whole in the ice of a river and taking an ice bath, then goes and catches a deer with his bare hands and eats it raw.
He is interesting. Egil Skallagrimsson. In chapter 55 of Egil's Saga, his appearance is described as follows Egil was large-featured, broad of forehead, with large eyebrows, a nose not long but very thick, lips wide and long, chin exceeding broad, as was all about the jaws; thick-necked was he, and big-shouldered beyond other men, hard-featured, and grim when angry. He was well-made, more than commonly tall, had hair wolf-gray and thick, but became early bald. He was black-eyed and brown-skinned. Could he be of black Irish origin. The saga says he was Icelandic. Who-knows?
Thank you for making this. I've been aware of Starkadr in the lore by bits and pieces of references in various books I have. He was a Son of Odinn indeed. Some apparent parallels with Egil Skallgrimmsson.

The equivalent to Orion is likely Örvandel, who also has a star (constellation?) namned after him, and who was skilled with arrows.

At a very remote time we all shared the same religion. In another video you spoke of parallels between many faced gods in Indian and pre-Christian European mythologies... Sometimes the similarity is not just in function but in deities' names
Why don’t you just say Hinduism rather than InDiAn MyThOLogiES.
@MelloWattz Nah
"rages autistically at a wall" 🤣🤣
Gather the people new jive video is out
Star Chad injects toxic masculinity mixed with wolf blood straight into his heart. He starts off his day by punching a whole in the ice of a river and taking an ice bath, then goes and catches a deer with his bare hands and eats it raw.
That is so extremely highly-reminiscent of myself that at first I believed that in fact you were talking about me.
One day we scandinavians will be us selfs again. Hope i live to see that or els it will be in my next life
@Arbane's Sword but should not be build on pagan spiritual ground. Like most of them are, just to piss of native europeans
Seems like more intense versions of Egil Skallagrimsson.
He is interesting. Egil Skallagrimsson.
In chapter 55 of Egil's Saga, his appearance is described as follows
Egil was large-featured, broad of forehead, with large eyebrows, a nose not long but very thick, lips wide and long, chin exceeding broad, as was all about the jaws; thick-necked was he, and big-shouldered beyond other men, hard-featured, and grim when angry. He was well-made, more than commonly tall, had hair wolf-gray and thick, but became early bald. He was black-eyed and brown-skinned.
Could he be of black Irish origin. The saga says he was Icelandic. Who-knows?
@@jeddaniels2283black could simply refer to tanned from wind & sun & weather. Black eyes as dark vs most blue
we need a tv show of this guy... oh, wait, that's unthinkable in the current times
He could still be in a TV series....just he would have to play as the antagonist or " the bad guy"
if they would make any series it would be filled with multiculturalism bs.
🇬🇧 Strong:
🇳🇴 STERK (Norwegian).
🇸🇪 STARK (Swedish).
🇩🇰 STÆRK (Danish).
🇮🇸 STERKUR (Icelandic).
And "STERKER" in Dutch means "STRONGER" in English. Soooo..
@@StillGamingTM As much as I’d like to know all the languages in the world, unfortunately I don’t.
🇩🇪 STARK (German)
Yep.
@@niklask8753 Really? Well German shares some words with the Scandinavian languages I suppose
Great video bro 👌🏽💯
Lol at the title
I can relate.....I too have been offered feminine bracelets and thrown them back in a rage.
Thank you for making this. I've been aware of Starkadr in the lore by bits and pieces of references in various books I have. He was a Son of Odinn indeed. Some apparent parallels with Egil Skallgrimmsson.
Thanks, as always a fantastic, well researched video.
Let the true Sigma’s rejoice!
Our Lord is reborn!
loved the video and great soundtrack !
This video was str8 up my alley
Tom Roswell is the Odinic Mystery incarnate and is the transmigrated soul of the Man who holds the Runes
Pretty sure Starkad is my 9-times-removed great grandfather
