I’ve just subscribed, and you’re offering a very scholarly but simple interpretation of these topics. As a visual learner this is amazing. Thank you! Keep the videos coming, dude.
Hey man, I went to highschool with you and your brother! I've always found your IG content so interesting and I hope this channel kicks off well for you! Keep it up man! 🤘🤘
Very good video. I'm currently reading Kris Kershaw's "The One-eyed God: Odin and the (Indo-) Germanic Männerbünde" (in German). Your video gives a good overview of / introduction to the topic.
Well done Cyneulf on doing this through source analysis! I think your channel is going to be really unique in its presentation of the facts, high brow shit! luv it!. also this must have taken a hell of a lot of editing! Really fantastic job! All the best - Martin
@@thefyrdsman9590 Well, i have many questions for sure but my knowledge is so little about this topic that I don't know how to phrase my questions yet. Moreover, because of the same reason, I don't know if they are relevant haha. So, may you find the next topic for now and I will learn and see if that clears my mind ! 😃
Amazing work! Thank you for making this.id definitely like to see more videos about the wolf cults, and mannerbunde, this video was very concise and direct. It helped me learn a few words that I had been seeing, during my research ulfhednar (spelling), and gave me some great takeaways on how this all worked back in those times. Subscribed and liked. Thanks for making it so easy to understand. Also would you care to share the song in the end?
Woah, this is saturated with information. I would love to hear a part 2 I'm curious, I may have missed it but you mentioned that by Snorri's time the idea of Ragnarok was relatively new, do you have source material or reference that goes over this?
Hey Bjorn! Thank you for your comment, and I'm glad you asked for clarification. I'll make sure to cover this in a later video! When I refer to Ragnarok as relatively new, I should've clarified that I meant in terms of my comparison with the concept of the Einherjar. Whilst we see numerous references to the Einherjar in the pagan periods of Viking history - whereas our main source for Ragnarok is in the poem Voluspa, which was written at the height of Christian efforts to convert Iceland. There is a growing argument that places Ragnarok as a relatively late story, inspired by Christian tradition, but whether or not this is true or was actually a 'new' idea is certainly up for debate. It's something that's definitely worth a deeper look at though, and I plan to cover it in a future video!
@@thefyrdsman9590 Not really wrong though. Snorri took out from verbal poems and more. Second one who dreams the gods cannot be making things up like on Loki, as I did. Odin with spear ain't something from the Christians. He had no reason to change. Besides got even attacked by his own after such books as heretic. Cycles aren't new. This ain't much christian thing.
I watch this thinking how I could exclude myself near wolfs and bears for a winter,in hope of becoming the first modern Ulfhednar, by Woden it must be someones Destiny
13:06 ... of europe with the "Theatros" of the indian god Rudra.... im just reading the subtitles, its been writen right (Theatros) ? or how do you write it? i want to search about it. thanks in advance! you helped me a lot with the information, hope to see more videos about the wolf cult!
The process of creating an ulfhednar contains all the elements of how indigenous tribal shamans are made. Have run into Viking historians who say the berserkers and ulfhednar were a type of shaman.
Thank you for sharing this - finally a video which is not full of nonsense and those misrepresentations we see everywhere these days. For those interested in proper research: You might wanna check out Arith Härger's work, too.
This video is very helpful for a story I'm drafting; one of the main characters is one of the Úlfhedinn(I don't have that special character in place of the "d" on my keyboard 😅). Thank you for all the work you did to make this video!
The God of Chaos has a son, the Wolf headed warrior Wepwawet, his title was "Opener of the Ways", the ancient Greeks called Ursa Minor Cynosura, the Dog's Tail, in Sumerian 'ur' means Dog or Wolf, 'sa' means Muscle, Sinew, or the color Red, the Sumerian word Ur-sag means Warrior, 'sag' means Head, "Wolf-Head". Draco was seen as the wife of Seth, the God of Chaos, Taweret, the hippopotamus with the limbs of a lion, she wears a crocodile skin on her head, but on Egyptian star maps, the symbol of Wepwawet is there instead, the Standing Wolf riding a Plow. Ursa Minor is the Little Dipper, Seth is the Big Dipper, "Thigh of the Bull's Leg", the thigh is associated with the loins, they called the Big Dipper The Plough. In Sumerian Dimshah means both Bear and Hippopotamus, Taweret and Ursa Minor, 'sa' is the Egyptian sign for Protection, Lifesaver, seen next to her right leg, Taweret is the goddess of Rebirth. In Sumerian 'dim' means Pole, Pillar and Post, or Bond, Bind Knot, Taweret in mythology chained the Bull's leg to the Pole Star, we are tilted 23.4 degrees towards Polaris "The Dog's Tail", a 23.4 degree tilt on the other side will point towards Vega, our old Pole Star 12,000 years ago, associated with Bau-Gula, the Goddess of Dog's known as the First Physician, she is associated the the War Dog's Tongue, the healing effects seen in its healing ability, she was the mother of the healing god of rebirth, the son of Pabilsag, his name means "Chief or Head Ancestor", linking him to the underworld. Images of Bau-Gula are her with a Dog's Head, the pole stars, Vega is the head, and Polaris is the Dog's Tail, in between them is the head of Draco, seen as The Child Damu, a name that means Blood, Brother and Relative. It's much older than what this guy thinks. Seth was the Black Boar, Taweret was Reret "The Sow", Damu was the Pig called "Sah", which is the name of Orion, "Sahu the Hidden One", Pabilsag was Sagittarius, one stands at the Golden Gate of the Gods, Sagittarius, and Orion at the Silver Gate of Man. Sahu means Boar, McCullough is son to both the Boar and Dog, the Ur Star.
Great video and read the book too :) Inwould ve interested on your view considering the story of Tyr/Fenrir and its connection to 1. the Männerbünde and 2. Tyr being the original inpersonation of the primary deity :)
In German, the word Volk = folk/people. In Russian, Volk = wolf. Could it be the Russians had grown skeptical of the German “Volks” after encountering these wolf warriors?
I would very much like to learn about the differences in different tribes! I Always found it an interesting rite of passage that today can be similar to joining the military.
Hey! Loved this video. Have you read 'the hanged god: odin grimnir' and 'Wolfs-Head: Óðinn, The Ecstatic God of Tethers and Skin-Turning.' two books by the same author, Shani Oates. She touches a lot on the Odinnic wolf cults, berserkirs, Úlfhéðnar, the cult of odin etc. Something you might be interested in reading. She is by far my most favourite author when it comes to academic and factual research as well as spiritual.
Well done! Two big avenues of broader Wolf Cult research that I’m sure you’re aware of but I’ll plug anyway for others; Apollo the Wolf God The research being done at Krasnosamarskoe This is a very old Aryan Tradition indeed
I don't understand why the helmeted figure would be Woden. Those aren't horns; they're ducks. The helmet has duck wings. There's a duck motif on the Sutton Hoo helmet as well; it's wings are the warrior's brows and the tail is his moustache. Also, the figure is weilding two spears, both of which look to be of a piece, as opposed to the wolf-headed character whose spear is fully detailed. My guess is that these are performers in some kind of dance, and unless Woden has some assocication with ducks or geese (which he well might; I have no idea) that that figure is a performer unrelated to Woden. Also, in other images, the figure is duplicated, as if there are more dancers present.
so your telling me a warrior culture, had 4 spec-ops division and each division had a beret like animal skin they wear to show which division they represent? how is that hard to believe??
11:17 in Galicia (northwest of the Iberian península), the Hunt is also called "Hoste Antiga", the Ancient Host. So, again, a reference to an army of the dead. In the Vth century the pagan Suebi conquered and settled in this province, so who knows... Waiting for more!
We have an ancient tradition called "Kukeri" in Bulgaria, I believe it may have simillar roots to Mannabunde or "the wild hunt"". The celebration involves young men dressing in intimidating costumes made of animal fur, masks, horns and special bells on their waist to scare off evil spirits.
Very interesting video. My only criticism is that the phrase "in spite of all evidence to the contrary" regarding belief in the existence of the spirit beyond death implies a materialistic bias that suggests that there actually is evidence to the contrary, which there is not. It's a physically untestable hypothesis with plenty of phenomenological evidence.
This believe that a warrior will forever live on was encountered in Dacian armies as well (based on the scarce Greek sources we have). Those sources claim that Dacian warriors believed themselves ro be immortal, which explains their ferocity in battle. A tragedy that not much is known about the Dacians. I feel a great part of Indo-European culture and worldview is lost
Absolutely fantastic. Really enlightening. Keep it up.

This information is super important. Please do more, definitely not enough publicly available.
This was interesting, I’d def use this channel to get more knowledge.
😁👍
Please do many more videos on this topic
Fantastic video. Can’t wait for more. Still weird to think you used to serve me in Rock’it lmao

Oh hell yeah do part two
Great video and read the book too :) Inwould ve interested on your view considering the story of Tyr/Fenrir and its connection to 1. the Männerbünde and 2. Tyr being the original inpersonation of the primary deity :)
Do you have any plans on doing a video about the "Jöfurr" or swine-headed cultic warriors of the Saxons?
In German, the word Volk = folk/people. In Russian, Volk = wolf. Could it be the Russians had grown skeptical of the German “Volks” after encountering these wolf warriors?
Not really. Russians are also indo-European. They had their own wolf rites
More, please.
I would very much like to learn about the differences in different tribes! I Always found it an interesting rite of passage that today can be similar to joining the military.

This is a very old Aryan Tradition indeed
Please elaborate further
And Oden live where ? Around ?
I’d love to learn more.
Hello whoever you are. I subbed. Do you still make videos?
really great work! Are you sure that's Odin on the metal plate? He seems to have both his eyes Still loved this man!
When you mentioned The Wild Hunt, I immediately thought of The Witcher.
Good shit
More
Great info! Keep it up!!!! Question - Are the modern "Dutch" of Scandinavian/Viking heritage? I guess I can google huh?
I'm an occultist and would love to hear more about the wolf cults and any other alpha apex predator like cults from all cultures

Now some clues in Sig and Guddrun as the Danish Kong let his father read books very few have seen ..

My people are still the greatest. To all Norse, Skal!!!
So are these the origins of the werewolf
Great video. But I've always seen the "horned" helmet, not as horns, they look like ravens, hence Woden.
All from Dacia
I've always studied wolf/werewolf legend
Very interesting video. My only criticism is that the phrase "in spite of all evidence to the contrary" regarding belief in the existence of the spirit beyond death implies a materialistic bias that suggests that there actually is evidence to the contrary, which there is not. It's a physically untestable hypothesis with plenty of phenomenological evidence.
Bird helmet not "horned" helmet
You're right there, that was an oversight on my part!
And they become wild in context to the east most of all the great fall of the sons of men
Caused the great darkness lasting for 1000's of years .... with small golden ages now and then.
