- Having been a Norse Pagan for nearly a whole decade, I put out a request that people send me questions they had about Norse Paganism or Paganism in general. This is my response.
Paganism as a whole is so intricate and multifaceted; however, research is the foundation for building your practice. There is no right and wrong way, and no two pagans will be the same!
Hi Nash, thanks so much for this. I have a 15 year old daughter who wants to be pagan but I really knew nothing about it. This video helps to understand what it is and how I can support her moving forward. ⭐️🙏
That's the right thing to do, this means you really love your daughter and love her no matter what, I wish you the best
Such a good Mom
You’re a good mum
I wish I had a mother like this...
@Brandy Tallent why are you saying skål? It's a toast for when you're drinking, and you don't even know that this person's daughter is a Norse pagan she could worship the Greek gods or any other branch 😂
Just starting to dip my toe into this subject, literally started yesterday, and I have to say you are the very first person I can wholeheartedly say has turned me on to paganism the most. Thank you 😀 I look forward to this journey
Thank you so much! I'm really glad to have been able to help! Best of luck on your journey, I hope you find it as rewarding as I have! 🙂
This is a really good touch upon the generalised thoughts and tips for those who are planning to practice paganism or the different branches it has.
I'm personally looking for this kinds of videos right now, where they focus on the much broader topics of things before delving into a particular practice.
As someone who really is still just looking for the introduction of the introduction, this really helped clear out some confusions and questions.

Hinduism is a fully pagan religion - just because it survived into modern times and is a major religion doesn't make it non-pagan. And Sikhs are a non-Abrahamic monotheist religion btw.
I'm just starting my path, and find your videos very interesting. Thank you for making them.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you find them interesting! Best of luck on your journey!

I'm hoping to start practicing paganism, where would be a good place to start with all the literature out there about it in your opinion?
ur moms basement and utube should suit u right.
@@illyak2039 I was asking about literature, books.

pikachu demsy stop. you’re basically disrespecting our religion. are you so stubborn that you don’t let others have different beliefs? don’t be so ignorant, how about you just respect other beliefs and get some information in your head?
Fucking honestly that hair is awesome, to get right off topic. I tip a fedora to you, it's not my fedora because I wouldn't be caught dead in one but, mark my words, when I see one I'll tip it!
Thank you for your video on the subject of Paganism. I think I have adult ADHD, it runs in the family, but I was able to follow along. I appreciate the fact that you give names of books and the professor. I love your attitude and sense of humor! Keep being yourself and, to you and anyone who reads this, know you are loved and are a Blessing. Much love and light to all! 💙💜💛💚🧡
I feel like I a can relate with this kind Woman on a certain level. We both can’t speak like functional Humans.
Thats like an insult and a compliment at the same time lol
Hi! Im hoping to start practicing paganism, but, im wondering if we have to do any witchcraft or magic. Thanks! btw great video!!
Hey! Thanks and thank for watching!
Witchcraft and paganism are separate and you dont have to practice one to practice the other. I think the connotation of witchcraft being essential to paganism stems from Wicca and its popularity; however, overall it's completely up to you if you want to practice witchcraft or not. It's not a requirement. Sometimes it's best to start off without it, and integrate it as you grow, it can easily be overwhelming if you try to learn about a specific path and witchcraft at the same time.
Hope this helps!
Nash NoLastName Yes, it did! Thank you so much! :)
Nash NoLastName Also, one more question! I’ve read that a person can be considered a witch without practicing witchcraft but worshipping Pagan gods/goddesses, is this true?
I'm sure there is someone who will disagree, but I think you absolutely could. Everyone's practice is different and if you wanted to consider yourself a witch without practicing traditional witchcraft you certainly could. Magic can be found in many different forms and there's no "you have to do X thing" to be considered a witch.
@@littledeli7960 JESUS LOVES YOU REPENT PAGANISM IS EVIL !!
As a former Christian, I really want to find a better way of life
you can’t find a better way to live without jesus christ, you prolly only left it is cause you wanna do the things you wanna do
@@ICEBLUNTS I don't want to live a sinful life, I actually want to help people but there has been past trauma with Christian's and Christianity in my life
@@OneGuyIKnow brother christianity isn’t about people the church and religion. it’s all about a relationship with jesus christ. brother please dm on instagram i can’t let you go brother. my instagram is @sj445._
@@ICEBLUNTS if Isaac has had trauma related to Christianity you shouldn't force them to stay Christian if they want to distance themselves from it, it's not your place to decide what path they continue/take.
To Isaac, whatever you decide, good luck with it. I'm sorry you've had trauma with Christians and Christianity. I know a lot of people who've become pagan due to similar reasons (and others who have completely opted out of religion)
Side note: paganism isn't "sinful" in any way, simply different beliefs/practices etc. There is also eclectic paganism, where you may mix many things into your beliefs/practices, including other religions such as Christianity.
I recommend looking more into Paganism and specific Pagan paths to learn more about it. Remember, your beliefs are your own, don't let others dictate them. Religion and spirituality are very personal.
@@kulupu_ijo you are right i don’t decide people’s paths but god does and good is using me to give him another chance but he’s declining god, guess you’ll be in hell
i JUST got Neil Gaiman's Mythology book. glad to know it's worth. American Gods was great btw. highly recommend.
thank you so much for making this!! i’ve always felt drawn to paganism and your videos made me feel more comfortable to reach out to my spiritual side❤❤
I'm thinking about my religion, or lack-thereof knowing what it is, so I hope I'm able to find a religion that fits my beliefs and thought of life.
You are the first person that I have ever seen that shares my feelings...thanks!
What's the Name of the Y (¥) like symbol called again? Always loved this symbol but never knew it was such a bad ass origin on top of looking neat.
It's called Algiz (or sometimes Elhaz). Algiz and Othala are the two that have always resonated with me the most. Thanks for watching!
As a Welsh person its lovely to see Americans embracing paganism 😁
I definitely hope to see more coming around! Paganism does seem to be growing here, so fingers crossed!
@@NashNoLastName your examples of books gives me a great little list to look into buying. Could you maybe list all your pagan books you have somewhere? :)
I'm getting all of my books together and I'll hopefully have a video and list out in a couple of days! Hopefully it will be comprehensive and helpful 😁
@@NashNoLastName did you make that list because that is what i need to know, so that i can research the different styles of paganisme
I'm happy I found your channel! 🥰 my alter is currently a little wooden tray I stained so I can put it away when family comes over 😬
I am so glad I found you! I have been seriously wanting to know more about paganism and when I watched your video, it really made me feel welcomed! I know I am late to the viewing party 🤣 but I would love to know more (and doing my own homework in the mean time lol)
This why the west is on the decay... those idiots follow multiples gods...
I found that audio books work good for me since I hate reading books haha
I've been struggling to start on this. I grew up catholic in Switzerland. Swiss people love their orthodox views, won't accept anything else and will even call you racist... Thank you for giving me courage on this journey!
This was a really good introduction, up until recently I was a practicing Christian and I’m still friendly with the idea of Christ and God, but I’ve been growing more and more distant from the congregation and especially considering just how much pagan culture has been ripped off by Christians and how much of modern Christianity have been taken from other cultures and religions and practices, and I am looking to dedicate my time and study into learning more about paganism and its roots and origins and undoing stereotypes
peganism was never a religion itself
I’ve gathered that it’s a general umbrella term referring to older cultures and religions and beliefs predating Christianity or outside of it. It’s not religion but it covers religion as well as culture and ways of life
I actually never thought of paganism as a religious thing. I've always felt it was a lifestyle with suggestions instead of rules or guidelines. The most religious thing about it would be the ceremonies for different times of year. Never like the idea that o lack of religion was a religion. And, all European tribes were pagan before the Romans pushed Christianity everywhere.
Please consider hinduism as Paganism...it is paganism also the word sounds very cool
PAGANS OF THE WORLD UNITED..XDXD
Lots of love from India
I see hinduism as pagan. It passes the test to count as pagan.
@@jaxthewolf4572btw how it is considered whether a religion is pagan or not?
@@Temüjin_3162 The general consensus is that it must fall outside of abrahamic faiths. But in actuality if said religion is polytheistic/pantheistic, centered around love for the natural world, and does not follow a hierarchy, it is pagan
@@jaxthewolf4572 thanks a lot 😍
@@Temüjin_3162 No problem! 🤗
thank you for making this video, I recently decided to become a pagan but had no idea where to start, this is very interesting. for years I was atheist, or maybe agnostic, but recently I decided I might as well pick a religion to stick with. tried christianity, actually read the bible, that thing is insane!!! so I picked paganism
Please try reading the Qur'an from the right source. Islam is a very good religion not like how people depict it.
I’m autistic as well and really appreciate this video and how you explained Paganism. Will be checking out your others as well.

I’ve been heavily considering going into Norse paganism and this is really helpful thank you for these posts
A student of Paganism, you are true to yourself ! Study makes for a better practitioner ...I enjoy your video..
This why the west is on the decay... those idiots follow multiples gods...
Hi,
As someone who grew up roman catholic but didn't really buy into it and found much more interest in the affects of religion on one another or how they play off of and borrow from each other over time and how that eventually manifests itself in the real world, i'm keenly interested in how the pagan community may feel about Christianity, presently and historically. Or if theres even a general consensus on it or if it may range from gushy love to vehemous hate, depending on who you talk to and/or what historical paganism they may lean towards/identify with.
Thank you!
Hello, as a Norse Pagan, I honestly see Christianity as divisive. Mention being pagan almost anywhere or on a forum and you will see what I mean.
But I have seen their faith do good things for them too. I still think being Christian or Catholic to somehow make most "holier than thou" and they will let you know that when Jesus comes we will burn in "Hell".
This why the west is on the decay... those idiots follow multiples gods...
I always been intregred why they always say I was raised as a Crhistians... Then i realized that they say that because they regret it... but they can not admit it.
I'm very glad that you actually have been doing research which will make my research on the subject easier to collect.
At what age did you start showing interest in paganism, and how did the people around you respond?
I know I'm pretty late, but do you know anything about the other branches of paganism? Such as greek paganism, Eygptian and (etc.) currently, I'm more invested in greek paganism but I don't know much about the others, including Norse paganism of course, I still have the bunch to pick from so I can start off with my path as a pagan.
actually there are thousands of religion inside hinduism, hinduism is just a geographical location signifying all the philosophies that originate on the indian plate.
Thanks for this video! I've been thinking about how to express what paganism means to me personally.... In the middle of making a video about it and it's hard to express. But I'm loving your video style, really fun!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It can be really difficult to express, and this took a lot of pausing to think about exactly how things should be phrased. I'm working on doing one about how I got into paganism myself, specifically about working with Loki and his family, that's ones going to be interesting to do!
I'll definitely have to check your video out too, I love getting new perspectives on paganism!
LMFAO she said, *middle finger up* GUESS WHAT COUCH VIKING!!" I LOVE HER! HAHA
I am absolutely intrigued by any branch of paganism... starting with the basics and getting your take on what to read for research has set me on a journey! Thank you so much for the video!!!
This why the west is on the decay... those idiots follow multiples gods...
I've been looking to get into Norse Paganism and this video has helped, thank you!
Read solomons testament in the bible it’ll tell you all about paganism. Paganism itself was the downfall of King Solomon whom was the wisest man in history.
My favorite part of being a Pagan is that it’s your journey to go on! It’s the religion you get to form to yourself and your own personality. ❤️
This topic was informative thank you. I’m a baby witch and I’m new to Paganism I’m into Greek and Egyptian culture and mythology. I am an artist in real life and my main path as witch is doing art as witch. Persephone, Hecate, and Nyx, and Selene are my favorite goddesses I am most drawn to Persephone, and in Egyptian mythology I’m drawn to Anubis, Osiris, and Isis.

Actually I am a Hindu. My opinion on Ebrahimic is that every one know that who is problem creater in the world - who believe in one God or who believe in multiple god 🙏.
And we Hinduism believe in good behaviour and meditation and yoga , because good behaviour can make heaven around you on the earth , meditation can give you hard concentration, peace from inner soul, and yoga always keep you safe from dieses.
Still the rape rates are higher in India then any other country
So paganism is similar with hindu in India no organised gathering and no prophets just for ☮️ and believe in one self thank for the information...
You are such a Heathen with your love of research. I appreciate your contribution in speaking against the bigots who claim to speak for us. For me the beauty of Paganism is that is is an individualistic path. If you've met one pagan then you've only met one pagan.
Ima be honest bro I really couldn't tell if that was a compliment or an insult to the creator like no clue lol
I also may not really know what heathen means in this tense but I know of negative connotations to it so
If i remember correctly, Blueraven666 (he's a pagan) now got a new deity and that deity is Mars the Roman God of War. Let's just say he says that Mars's feeling when he's around him sounds like if Mars kicked down the door and war music started playing. I said "Mars sounds like a pretty cool deity to be around"
@pagan pride 🏳️🌈 ⛥ the first time Blueraven666 felt Mars's presence was when he felt the sudden urge to exercise out of nowhere, turns out it infact was Mars XD
Great video. And I completely agree, anyone can be Pegan...it's whichever gods & goddesses speak to someone on a personal level & which pantheon (i.e. Greek, Latin, Egyptian, Norse, Celtic, etc.) draws you in.

Thank you for making this video I am new and trying to find my way and this definitely helped so thank you
I love the video. I have been a norse pagan since 2013, I was glad that you touched on the stereotypes surrounding norse paganism. Could not agree with you more. I hate that racist assholes are trying to commandeer the runes. On an aside while you were showing your books, you had one about chaos magic. (Also who is the author of that book?). Could you do a video on what chaos magic is? I would be really interested to learn about that. Im glad I stumbled across your videos. 😊
Hey! Thank you so much! I felt it's necessary to address the stereotypes associated with Norse Paganism, mainly because they are what gets SO MUCH representation in articles and media. It's so irritating that they get to talk over actual pagans.
Anyway, before I rant again lol The book is called Liber Null & Psychonaut: An Introduction to Chaos Magic by Peter J. Carroll. I'm relatively new to the subject myself, but it is very fascinating. I can definitely do a video explaining the basics though!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the channel, thanks so much!
Yeah it is really annoying that that is what everyone associates with norse paganism. Yeah I will definitely check out that book. As a Lokean I feel like my whole life is chaos! Lol. I am definitely looking forward to more content. 😊
That's so awesome that you're Lokean! Loki was the first one to draw me into the path and for the most part I still consider myself lokean or rökkatru. For simplicity I just say Norse Pagan, but now I really want to do a video on Loki and the differences within branches of norse paganism 😂
I would love to see that! It's hard to find good content about norse paganism on youtube, even harder still to find people accepting of Loki. Yeah, Loki was the first that I was drawn to, as well. I have also had Njord and Heimdall float into my life. 😊
I completely empathicise with you young people. I cut my teeth on Gavin & Yvonne Frost Buckland, Cunningham, Donald Kraig et. Al. Research is VERY important. And Jackson Crawford is an EXCELLENT resource on the language names and cutting the Bovine Scatology
Hi Nash
thanks for the video I turned to Norse after my father passed on I tried many religions but couldn't find one that I belonged to thanks for helping me along my way with this I'm glad I found your channel thank you so much
I'm so sorry about the loss of your father, but I'm glad to have been able to help you along this path. Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad to have you here!
This why the west is on the decay... those idiots follow multiples gods...
I’m really interested in Norse Paganism but at the same time I don’t even know where to start
Really there is not right or wrong place to start. I would recommend reading the Poetic Edda, or even Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology book (his retelling of the stories is really well done). And then branch out from there. There are also some great groups online where you can meet other Norse Pagans and ask questions. It's a lot of research and homework sometimes, but it can also be fun and enlightening.
I hope this helps at least a little!
The way you Explained it , it seemed that the knowledge base you have it would blast any time and You thinking what would be the best and simplest way to Explain it.. You did good thanks... 💗🙏
I loved your video! Your attitude and dedication to your path made me subscribe! Can't wait to watch more of your content! 😊
Jackson Crawford is a philologist specialising in the Old Norse language. Therefore, his works are going to be coming primarily from that perspective. So it's best to use Jackson Crawford where linguistics would be helpful, but not to rely on him too much when it comes to the culture and religious practices of the Old Norse. He's not a bad source on these things, but it's a good idea to corroborate what he says on them and look for anything that he might have missed.
You remind me of a hotter Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn! That aside, thanks for making this video, I looked it up to understand exactly what Paganism is. Appreciate your hard work.
I'm currently seeking a new path and I hope Paganism might be it
Read Marie Cachet's "Secret of the she-bear". It's already in us, it dosn't need as much research as you say... we just need a different lens on how we view the world.
Don't mind me, just binge watching your videos. I have a question on a book that keeps popping up in my recommendations on Amazon. It's called Asatru for Beginners: A Modern Heathen's Guide to the Ancient Northern Way by a Mathias Nordvig. Have you read that? And if so, do you yourself recommend it? Is it a good piece of source material?
Thank you iv been looking for some info and how to get started
My questions:
1. Do you believe the gods exist as independent entities that have agency even if we don't believe in them?
1a. what would be best evidence of this? (I am open to believing they exist)
2. If they do exist, what have you gathered they think about the world now?
These are great questions.
Personally, I believe the gods are each their own independent entities, each with their own goals, preferences, and personalities. While there's no concrete evidence of them as such, through my own experiences I made the choice to believe. This is due to various signs, dreams, and feelings that I've had throughout the past decade that have helped solidify them in my mind.
An argument can definitely be made that those signs are just a trick of the mind seeing what it wants to see. Similar to seeing images in static if you look long enough. But, ultimately believing in the gods is a personal choice and no two people will have the same outlooks. Even in larger religions, such as Christianity, this is prevalent given the large number of differing denominations.
Assuming they do exist, I like to believe that they have a fairly optimistic view of the world today in some regards. (Such as the resurgence of people believing in them) I think that while it's important to honor old traditions, the gods ultimately have evolved to suit the times, and the internet has definitely helped fuel the resurgence of belief in them. For that, I think they admire how far we've come.
I hope this makes sense, I tried to keep this relatively short, but with questions like this, it's easy for me to write a thesis!
@@NashNoLastName thank you for the reply Nash!
So what is the Pagan view (or your pagan view) on the resurrection of Christ? Christ and the apostles claim that sharing in the resurrection is the only way to get into the “afterlife”. Do contemporary pagans say there are other ways to the “afterlife”? Are you even concerned about the afterlife?
(Also don’t worry about being received as racist, the overwhelming majority of people will not perceive you as racist so long as you don’t do anything racist. Don’t pander to people who expect you to prove you non-racist credentials).
Most pagans don't believe in the teachings of christianity. It depends on the pagan religion. For instance, in norse paganism you have to die in battle to enter Valhalla, if you don't you go to Helheim or some other afterlife. In both Egyptian paganism and Greek paganism, you have to be a good person to enter paradise. In wicca, all people enter paradise (Summerland), there is no spiritual punishment. Most pagans aren't concerned with the afterlife, but living their lives the best way that they can, with the afterlife becoming a concern when it's time to leave this world. So far entrance into a particular afterlife (with the main exceptions being wicca and Suomenusko) in nearly all paganism depends on your actions. Hope this helps
@@jaxthewolf4572 So is it linked to your ethnicity then? If you are born or feel an affinity for the Kingdom of Norway and you die (via battle or peacefully) you end up in the Norse afterlife. But in Egypt it would be the underworld?
What would happen to Christians and Jews in this world view they just die and lie in the grave for all eternity?
@@way2tehdawn Yes and no. You may end up in the afterlife of the land you were born but your after death place is also linked to your beliefs so yes if you believe in the Norwegian afterlife and aspire to go there, you will go. For those who want to go to the Egyptian afterlife, they can still go even if they arent egyptian. They just have to want it. As for jews and Christians, they will go to their afterlives. For Christians, heaven, for jews, the world to come. In paganism, everyone goes to the afterlife location that goes with their beliefs.
Yes, Hinduism is a pagan religion since it is a polytheist religion, un-organised and not known original characteristic found in other pagan religions. while some sects of Hinduism are like abramic religion like sankracharya's adivita or arya samaj's vadism
As being a Hindu🕉️ I don't want my religion to be named as Pagan. I am happy as being a Hindu. If you're a Hindu you can believe in monotheism, polytheism and even in atheism. We have Vedas, Upnishads and Bhagavad Gita. So please bro don't compare Hinduism with any other religion. Bhagwan bless you.

As a Norse pagan, what do you think about pop culture references like Marvel’s Thor and similar? Cool vid!
Thanks so much!
I'm a huge Marvel fan so I definitely find the references entertaining! While they may not be an 'accurate' interpretation of the Norse gods, I still find it fun to watch and read. One of my favorite comics I read before was called Loki: Ragnarok and Roll, it's not Marvel, but it was hilarious!

@@syd546 I had a stroke reading that
Hi, I join the pagan religion simply because it seem like the best option and I go to the regular pagan meetings, even though they don’t really talk about the Norse mythology as much as I would like. Thank you for your video I do appreciate your ideas.
Reading or listening to Havamal is my favourite and a good start.
Great video! Stupid question: Is it possible to celebrate seasons using dry insence without it being considered 'witchcraft'?
How does paganism view the balance of male and female?? I read somewhere that certain elements of paganism hold the woman in extremely high esteem due to their nature as the vessel of new life and new beginings and that women were also the vessels of knowledge of ritual?
I'm in the atheist spectrum but also am open to others beliefs so long as they don't want me dead or punished because I don't follow. I'm liking the broad spectrum of paganism you describe and the fact there was no judgement of others. Very interesting thanks.
This is important information! Thanks for all you do! Stay powerful

The work abrahamic religions did repressing this part of european (and all over the world) local cultures, now facebook and others continue.
There seems to be a group or people or at least a force of some kind that are not happy about a people (who will mostly likely be of European descent) reconnecting with their peoples ancient beliefs, traditions and spirituality from their ancestral homelands…. Wonder why that might be?
It’s probably the only thing missing from our identities that would unite us as a people - and it is desperately needed in the times we now face
Well articulated thank you!
A person is doesnt matter how or what its how you feel and listen in part of view that you hear and listen and how you unserstand a ancient ways they understand you . Not many ever to astroprojection to temple's or hunters moon ,.. its your own path to choose from is the oldest way has long they understand you . Even the oldest ways of pagas or paganism depends how well you take the light that light takes you or enlightenment part.
Thank you for your video! Can you list the books you showed? Hopefully some of them are on audible!
Just finished recording a video listing my books as well as some helpful online resources that I've used. It should be up tomorrow 12/6/2020, so I hope it helps! All the books and links will be in the description!

I love your attitude 👌🏼☺️
Hi! my father told me that you have to draw the solar cross protection symbol in a certain way or else it won’t work? is that true? and is it true for other symbols/runes? i have been asking people online for ages
Well, so how does your religious practise actually look like? Or is it too personal to ask such a question?
Thank you for doing talk videos now about stuff that you are really into. I agree that research is important, well, for almost all aspects of life.
As you have moved 3 popular stereotypes out of the way in this video, please tackle another in the next video: pagan vs witch (the latter term referencing to mostly females who are sensitive, creative, educated in the substances nature provides and have a good personal connection to the universe so that it is more likely to provide them with what they are asking to receive´, be it information or events or whatever, than the proverbial Average Joe). Thanks in advance.
My personal practice tends to be very eclectic. I practice witchcraft and galdr (which is the practice of working with runes), and I'm primary patron diety is Loki, as well as his kin. (Which is something that deserves a video all it's own)
I was actually going to go into that, but completely forgot when recording 🤦♀️ knew I was missing something. I shall definitely have to put that in another one.

Hello my friend good perspective on the olď faith of european paganism i practice the old ways and live by old values and morale beliefs, im of saxon decent to and a 2nd generation colonial british south african, i spent years of my life travelling to europe making a pilgrimage and working for years and wherever my path lead i had those worldy experiences and currently live back in south africa in cape town its my 35 birthday soon in april 2021 and still have my established beliefs, and still practice my old beliefs and practice, gaining knowledge and i occupy my time to with my gym and health and lifestyle in the peninsuila i live is very beautiful i do ritual burnt offerings to my gods and do worship still paganism in africa is not very common nor my people but its to indemnify the cultural aspects making south africa a multicultural and varied cultural faiths here.
What got you to start practicing the old ways?
I live near Cape Town and I haven't met a single person who still practices it.
I'm not of European descent, but I've been looking into various forms of European "paganism."
Its a belief system in your cultural roots and rooted in the faith of the devines the practices of wicca, divination and the old crafts are in my practice, also prayers, besides my work i enjoy my gym and reading to and gaining knowledge i dont really follow to much into the modern ways of life i still live simple and humble and im not materialistic i dont even own much its a basic lifestyle i choose to have
And one more thing out of consideration especially to the curators of this channel i have personal experiences and personal beliefs and my age my friends people should find there own true calling in life and choose to to there own beliefs, ive chosen this practice for the last 17 years and its my own beliefs not to impress apon anyone that might not understand the concept we are all born as individuals freedom of belief is my opinion to all that are of a secular life or have relationships each to there own understanding of this concept of different religions
You mentioned the bible but why isn't it an option? There is a void you are seeking to fill up in your heart Jesus can fill that void. Christianity is beyond religion it is not some imagination people created in their head it is reality. Try it and you will find a God that loves you if you have any question ask me
Many pagans have already found a god that loves them, Jesus is not necessary
I swear you could pan in on literally anything and if you show it to me before 12noon I will laugh. I really appreciate the honest explanation of legit research. Its crazy because anything is possible. crazy though, I hate how my eyes play tricks on me sometimes lol. Neil Gamon Norse Mythology, I use audible because I like to multitask but definitely lmfao Valhalla. that gave me a kick honestly laughed lol.
Lol I’m very much English, Scottish, & German, with some Welsh, Irish, and Scandinavian.
I’ve been able to trace back a direct bloodline(father to father all the way back) back to through William the conqueror and back to Rollo.
This was a very enlightening video... and yep.... facebook is terrible.
Hey Nash. Just curious, has a spiritual people, Who have always relied heavily on using materials from the earth, how do pagans view vaccinations?
Thank you for the tips but I'm afraid they do not match my animism ways
If you have the chance could you please clarify Animism to me? I searched the definition and it seems quite close to the things I believe, but I’d like to hear what it means to someone who practices. You could also just point me to a resource! I totally understand if you don’t want to explain it to some random person on the Internet! Thank you
@a gremlin with sticky hands no no you’re good, to me animism is the practice of using animals as totems or even archetypes. They are worshipped for their certain or entire behavior and are reflected with magick
@@spoiledbeandip2129 I thought animism was the belief that everything has a spirit
Hi! I’ve been going on and off on paganism for 3 years now, mainly because I live in a very catholic family and I not able to practice it openly, do you have any advice on how to actually incorporate pagan practices in my daily life?
Aw! I grew up in a small religious town so I feel this. Best wishes
Please more
Suggestion: Start by stating what the basic gist of Paganism IS, then suggest one can research the different kinds. Your own practice of WHAT? Research WHAT? Still don't know what the hell Paganism is.
i would love to be able to get with you and get as much information i can possibly get. reading is very hard for me, the old Norse pagan is what i have been most interested in my entire life, i love the video, any thing you want to talk about i will definitely be paying absolute attention to.i am just starting, so there will be very dumb questions that i will be asking im sure, just any help would be appreciated..
