Thank you for pointing out that one TH-camr, though you didn’t use her name. She is no more Sámi than a rock is food, and she has made it so difficult for reconnecting Sámi to have a true understanding of the culture rather than a new one. Your videos are great and I hope all is well this season for you, Arith!
thank you for this Arith we should all search for the truth in all things ..... but most prefer to have the lies it seems to comfort them ..... the cat has grown to be so very beautiful and i think the cat knows it ! :) hope you are keeping well my dear friend !
This Sàmi youtuber you were referencing - if I have the right person in mind - was actually quite a huge inspiration to me up until quite recently when I was innocently browsing Etsy and noticed a review directly from her on a Sàmi runebomme (shamanic drum) inspired oracle deck produced before she released hers, and she highly praised it. She has since replicated this deck in almost the exact same fashion, clearly with the higher production costs she has access to, as this former deck was hand drawn. She has quite heavily promoted her own deck without acknowledging this was not an original idea (as it is promoted as), so I now find her quite disingenuous and am suspicious about how she may be making money from other people's ideas or spirituality without crediting the original source.
Thank you for another video full of knowledge and facts. The discussion related to the Sami people, and their culture and traditions being suppressed, as well as the struggle they are having to re-engage with their heritage, makes me so sad. It is so awful that so many cultures and peoples have lost their heritage over time 💔 Many blessings to you, my dear friend 🖤
Nobody who charges for anything is authentic. A spiritual worker is traditionally judged by their works on behalf of their community. Thank you for acknowledging the struggles of my people.
Hello My dear friend 😊 Many thanks for your existence and for sharing your wisdom always 🙏🙏🙏💯🏆 You are The MAN Best wishes from Marajó Island Pará Brazil😊
Having studied Anthropology somewhat in my youth, it is generally understood that christian churches were built on top of the Pagan religious structures that existed at that time. The belief being that the land there was already Holy Land and the new religion was Overcoming the old.
Hi Arith, I enjoyed this video as always. Thankyou! I remember you talking about the year 2024 and the state of the world once, although I can't remember which video it was. I would love to hear more your take on the spiritual state of humanity and where we are headed. Take care!
As to the use of a Hof as a site of Norse Heathen Religious practices, it is common folklore within my ancestral family, that this is True! We ARE the keepers of this TRUTH! Skal
Even during the time period of pre Christian Scandinavia there was no set "one way" to practice it. It even varied from village to village. Many try to reconstruct it based on a western esotericism lens instead of just understanding thats its an animistic "world view." ❤
This isnt entirely related to the video but there is a book worth looking into which you might have read called "Lapponia" (Or Lappland in Swedish) by Johannes Schefferus which contains alot of information regarding Sámi culture and practices atleast in some areas. Although there is a consensus among the Sámi themselves and among scholars that there is alot of valuable information in the book it should as always be taken with a grain of salt since it was written in the late 17th century when there unfortunately was alot of flat out racism, discrimination and oppression towards the Sámi people. Best regards from sweden!
Could the lack of temples be because they held their meetings in the open air? In groves and sacred places like caves, etc. In a sort of parallel to druid gatherings.
I believe that this is the case and there would have been a lot of overlap between the religious beliefs, as we see across the world. From Ireland, Wales and England to India and Siberia the cultures share many similarities.
Hello my dear friend. Well, that idea of open air places of worship is often a celtic romanticism, originating first from the accounts of the "Celts" of the Iberian Atlantic by Stabo, and then from the "Celts" of Gaul by the accounts of Julius Caesar, and many classical authors have picked those ideas even without seeing such cultures. Pretty much that's what Tacitus did when speaking about the "Germanic" tribes. There are several evidences that Celts had temples, and by the +/- 4th century BCE they started to erect stone temples with the progressive contact with the Romans. When it comes to Scandinavia, these Iron Age tendencies came a little bit late, but there are evidences of wooden temples, but since there are no evidences of a priestly class, these buildings were probably erected by wealthy local lords and so they administered the religious services. There were probably only a few temples because much of the religious expressions were either done in front or inside the Great Hall, as the local political and military authorities held the relgious power and performed public ceremonies to their subjects. Other evidences of a cultic expression were probably done within the domestic environment. This doesn't mean that there weren't expressions towards belief systems in the open air, but evidences of such are impossible to determine as there are no evidences.
@@ArithHärger The issue with the use of things like Temples is that they're likely also a direct influence from the Roman conquest of Celtic lands whereby they assimilated people who were willing, into aspects of their culture. As you bring up Julius Caeser, it's important to note that a lot of the polemics he wrote praising certain cultures within Gaul/Briton could likely be due to their ability to accept Roman beliefs and tales, such as the repetition with which he asserts they believe in Roman Gods.
Thank you my dear friend. I also recommend taking a look at Ocean Keltoi here on TH-cam, and "Nordic Animism" with Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen :D hehe. Cheers!
@@ArithHärger Did you ever look into or try to contact the Lady of the Labyrinth (Maria Kvilhaug) or SurviveTheJive? I think I suggested them to you once but I'm not certain
Do you think programs dedicated to making a modern "Gothi" program is beneficial to communities? Seems like as long as the intentions are good, it is a good idea to limit the wild cards or crazies.
I know of three other YT channels that teach Paganism. Ocean Keltoi does not teach you how to be one but tells you history. Jacob Toddson seems to think he is Odin's chief priest. The Irish Pagan School charges a high price to learn from them. My belief is this, I believe there is something else greater than me but I don't know for sure who. When someone dies for several days and comes back to tell us, I will then know.
I really enjoy Ocean Keltoi's presentation of knowledge and his perspective. He and Arith are some of the few people that I can take seriously and who aren't cringy or seemingly fake.
@@beautifuldreamer0811Jacob toddson spouts a lot of rubbish and is kinda on the path leaning towards the AFA ocean Keltoi is very good with his knowledge and arith is the best
I do enjoy Ocean Keltoi and I'm subscribed to his channel. Even though I haven't watched a lot of his videos, the ones I did watch are quite good and I find him to be a reliable source of information. Of others mentioned, I cannot say the same. There's also Jackson Crawford, which is a very good source for Old Norse language, which helps to understand the writen sources, even though I do not always agree with his interpretations, but it is understandable, as he is focused on lingustic and etymological roots, and takes things too literally, so there's no space for the necessary interdisciplinary work to understand past cultutes (but in his defence, he does have interviews with other experts on several different areas, and that's good). There's also Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen and his channel "Nordic Animism", he is, to me, the most reliable source on such subjects.
@ArithHärger I do truly love the linguistic perspective that Dr Crowford offers but agree that his stark stance on runes being a writing system only and not having anything to do with past magik practices to be a little off putting. But I understand that his has a strictly academic background and his differing opinion doesn't take away from the wealth of knowledge he offers.
The Celtic side is even worse than the Norse/ Germanic side. I can find, weird, random stuff here & there & have developed a skill for working out what info is relevant & goes with what while studying what has been written down about Native American cultures & comparing that to what all they have managed to preserve & recover, but the biggest issue is that, even if we could perfectly recreate this religion & the holidays, they belong & are deeply interconnected in a society that doesn't exist anymore & which we would have an excruciatingly hard time recreating, on top of likely involving several things we no longer are OK with, so there isn't much point in even being perfectly authentic.
Priest or no priest you probably had to prove your worth either in battle/exploration or in hardcore farming/fishing etc. Those bald dudes wearing corpse paint shown in the vikings show although aesthetically pleasing were a figment of fiction
Yeah, quite the fictional characters in those series, following the same stereotypical representations of Hollywood. The ones shown in the "Northman" movie, by Robert Eggers are closer to what may have been, as people whose activity/job wasn't religion but sometimes performed such activities for the community. Thank you for watching and listening, have a great day!
Those "bald dudes with corpse paint" were an imagining of Seers, a specific type of mystic that has little known about it so a lot can be implied and guessed. From what I know about Druids, it seems like that some preistly classes would be present in battles but to cast spells and try to influence the battle through other means than physical combat. We also know that Druids spent up to 20 years training for their specialist position which would be wasted if they were slain in battle. I like the depicition though, even if its just guesswork and eclectic paganism.
@CelticMysticSeer The depiction is very pleasing indeed.Surely any kind of ceremonial position,priests,druids etc was demanding and took years of specific practice.Acting as a door between worlds was and in a way still is a path not traveled by many.
He's a great disappointment and far from being a reliable source, I've found. But that's just my opinion, and for many years I've unsubscribed his channel and I take little into consideration about anything he has to express. But again, that's my opinion on his work and person.
@ArithHärger I take your opinion on these matters quite seriously, and you are a recommended channel when my friends and I discuss such matters. Could you elaborate on why you have a negative opinion of him? I see his content being shared a lot.
@@Agesilaus.88 in truth, I would rather not talk about it because I don't want people to think there's any sort of bias from my part, and I prefer people would find out for themselves, seeing the patterns for themselves instead of anyone pointing out, so they may genuinely understand for themselves without reaching any conclusions through hear-saying. I've been a victim of rumours and gossip merely by hear-saying which ended up to be unfounded, as it was quite a lot of lies on my person, but even so, many people believed the lies and never questioned anything. So I do prefer people watch things for themselves and take their own conclusions. However, anyone who studies Indo-European themes, knows perfectly well how such sources have been quite twisted to fit into political propagandas, and anything written about Indo-European studies before the 1980's is pure rubbish. Proper Indo-European studies have only started to be conducted already in the XXI century and there's still too much to "clean" when it comes to the deeply rooted political propaganda of which Indo-European studies have suffered from. It's no secret that Tom's political views are far-right and he quite often expressess his and others' white supremacist views through "european paganism". He is quite clever, and uses Indo-European "studies" as political propaganda and to express his and other groups' extreme views. His videos have a very appealing and entertaining presentation, and it's such a pity the content is extremely biased and clearly in-line with his political beliefs, rather than a presentation of the actual historical truth and academic work. After all, he is a journalist, and it is his job to catch people's attentions, and he does it well. But I maintain what I say: I would rather have people pay attention and take such conclusions for themselves, rather than solely taking my word on this, and I also maintain this position because Tom was one of the people that spread lies about me and people simply took his word to face value. I'm well aware how many people take into consideration and at face value what I have to say, which is why I don't want people to simply take my word on it and I prefer they find such things for themselves, because only by fiding out that way, can people possibly understand and start to see the patterns. Tom has been a great disappointment on many levels.
@Agesilaus.88 To add to what Arith is saying, the name "Survive the Jive" is literally a racist dogwhistle, as 'Jive' originates from AAVE (African American Vernacular English) so contextualizing that name with his politics doesn't paint a pretty picture of his implications in choosing it. Also I just generally don't trust anyone who insists on calling Indo-Europeans 'Aryans' in current day, which he does in several videos. I watched some of his stuff years ago and got a weird vibe, so in researching I came to similar conclusions as Arith, he's far right and uses the content to push people towards his extremist beliefs.
And that seems a bit problematic in and of itself. Sami beliefs and Norse beliefs were separate cultures and mythologies, mixing the two seems insensitive given the history of Norse colonisers invading Sami lands
@ezrafriesner8370 everyone is sitting on bloodied land. It was the rules of engagement for centuries. We don't know the Sami really and each had a responsibility to be strong and effective. French and English and Germans never wiped each other out despite trying.
@@ezrafriesner8370Personally I think we need to be less puritan with our pre-Christian beliefs that are being revived.
