    Hi from Turkey. I am only a 17 year old student but I have been interested in Norse mythology for over 5 years. One day I really want to go to Iceland or one of the Scandinavian countries and hear these stories from a native person. This is probably one of my biggest dreams. I also want to say thank you for giving us this informations for free because it is hard for me to find good information on this subject. Thanks again.

Therefore, not knowing about something does not mean runes don't have that extra information. Through all history, many nobel prizes scientists were wrong about several things (Rutherford, Bohr). The truth is beyond TITLES and degrees!!! I know someone who knows so much more than any Ph.D and she's not pointing fingers on others. Evidences of NO effects also should be given to be discarded at all.

      Almost like this video was made to sell jewelry and not give credible information! Runes were never used for anything other than spelling words. There is zero archaeological or historical evidence for them having any "meanings". The 'rune poems' have been explained by scholars as mnemonics to aid a barely literate society. As an archaeologist in the field, this video is full of misinformation and does more harm than good.

      @@je-freenorman7787 The levels of wrongness in literally every statement you made, makes me wonder if you're being purposefully obtuse.
      "Proto-Indo European used to be called Aryan"
      No, Aryans, or as they would be scientifically called, Indo-Iranians are a group descended from Proto-Indo-Europeans. That means they were around AFTER what we would consider the PIE period.
      "Which referred to the nobility and their languages"
      Are you hurting yourself in your confusion already? It's only your second statement and you're already going off on tangents. Let's adress it anyway.
      Aryan was a self designation, meaning it was just what Indo-Iranians called themselves. It does not designate their language, only the ethno-cultural belonging to the group. It also doesn't have anything to do with nobility.
      "in a period of time BEFORE Europe existed"
      Your point being?
      "Pre-Christian. (so pagan, by default)"
      Go tell Indians that they're pagan. Your statement is meaningless. And I wonder why you're even talking about Indo-iranians in the first place? Ah right, you went off the rails in your very first statement already.
      "Row is to Move
      and Rus is to Row"
      What are you even saying? Yes the word may come from Norse meaning "rowers". It may also come from Finnic, which called Sweden Rus. The Norse were prolific traders so of course they would travel.
      "The Keivan Rus ruled Russia"
      Just wow... It's Kievan Rus and they ruled an area more in line with modern day Ukraine and only parts of what would be modern day Russia. It would be more accurate to say that they ruled the areas around the Dniepr river system.
      "which was called the Region of Tartaria"
      No it wasn't. You're off by almost one thousand years again and in the wrong geographic area. Tartary is a fairly modern designation for modern day eastern Russia.
      "The Rus came from Sweden, which was formerly Aryan / Norse Culture"
      You got something right! The Rus did come from what is modern day Sweden. And then you go on to throw around the term Aryan again. No, they were just Norse. Aryan is a distinct and separate culture from another part in the world.
      "There was a period of time when NOBODY wanted tattoos becasuem it meant you were a slave and people would turn in slaves that were deserters"
      We're finally back to the actual issue at hand. Your statement is correct at it's core. That time period was the 5th century BCE in Rome and Greece. Over a thousand years before the Norse time period. The tattoing of slaves as punishment only lasted for 200 years before it was made illegal by Emperor Constantine (who converted to christianity and ended the christian persecution)
      By the late antiquity, tattooing was common for roman soldiers and there are records of it until the 700's AD. This also well into the roman empire being fully christian

    All about the Futhark-runes and their variations is really fascinating. I research a lot about history and yes I love the band Heilung as many rune-interested people. Researching about why the old cultures named their runes as we know them and why they have these meanings is one of my favourite topics. The problem is that many runes are forbidden here in Germany because of the NS-regime. In the 30s they used runes like Tiwaz, Algiz or Sowilo to support their imaginations of the world. It's really sad that such beautiful symbols have become signs of danger just because of fanatism. Personally I believe in runic magic because of many experiences and I do rituals like protecting or supporting spells but because of our society's connection to this topic I need to hide it not to be called a devil summoner.

    Look I don't want to rain on the parade but the use of runes as magical charms and sigils is largely ahistorical and attributed to modern neopagan movements rather than historical artefacts and sources. Accredited runologists will most often consider them to be not much beyond lexioconographical letters that have names for identification. Those names don't mean they were used to represent abstract concepts. Whenever we see runes carved on stones or walls, it's in the same way we used the Latin alphabet now.
    All in all, practices like magical rune binding and runecasting are modern and not historically attested

    • @jh2349
      @jh2349 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There are a few examples. Such as the triple Týr rune on a sword and the "gebo/ansuz" on the Swedish spear. We know there WERE examples of bindrunes. But most of the galdrastafir come from medieval influences long past the viking age.

    • @EVO6-
      @EVO6- 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@jh2349 the thing is that a Týr on its own is no different from a T on its own in English, for example all the hydrant points on my road are marked with a H, for hydrant. But that doesn't mean the letter H in English 'represents water' in any general context. That's what all the modern rune magic meanings are, general contexts that apply no matter what.
      One of the old Norse poem sources recounts a character 'naming Tyr twice' upon their sword referring to the god Tyr, but in that context they might be just saying his name out loud, or writing it in full, or just writing a Tyr rune to stand for his full name. But a Tyr rune could also stand for töfra (magic), tann (tooth) or tölva (computer, in modern times), it never automatically means the god. It's just like a T.
      At the end of the day it just appears by all means that they were used the same way letters are and people didn't see them as grand symbols of ideas like prosperity and healing etc etc.

      @@Volkfire not sure what the 'elder edda' is, if you're trying to say the poetic Edda or the prose Edda. I already went over the 'name Týr twice' misconception that is the main point brought up by people in favour of runes as sigils, Snorri's texts do not emphatically state at any point that runes are esoteric symbols of concepts, nor any original primary source.
      You introduced yourself as a Wardrúna fan and not an academic runologist or student, but they would say they are at the very least heavily skeptical of this interpretation of runes and often outright dismiss it, as it's very much a product of modern neopaganism and *not* the sources we have from in and near the time, like the Hávamál or the Eddas. I'm not saying they're lying, because they aren't saying this in the first place. They never mention any kind of runecasting.
      Hope that clears things up

      @@jh2349 oh yeah bindrunes exist, we even have a depiction of a ship's mast making up a word with the middle stave having them running down it. But they just formed combinations of runes to help shorten words while carving, or initials like the HB for Harald Blåtand (Bluetooth). But that's not the same as magic bindrunes which are combining concepts (eg love and wealth) together.
      As for the Tiwaz name, Tiwaz was the proto Germanic equivalent to Týr, the Norse god associated with war. Every rune had a name that was a commonly known word starting with that sound. So it's called Tiwaz but it doesn't mean it *is* Tiwaz or the embodiment of him.
      If this sounds strange, we do the same thing in modern English with the NATO alphabet. C for Charlie, D for Delta, W for Whiskey etc. But that doesn't mean that in modern Anglophic society, the letter W is a symbolic representation of Whiskey.
