I made the fancy video I promised for you. Is Midsommar another presentation of Wicker Man? Which is better? What is the meaning of 'wick"? The cycles of Nature and Demeter and Orphic Mysteries? The ritual and folk beliefs in the film? Is nature deified? Why Christopher Lee always be up in these trippy films? Jay has the answers!

Jay, you have to see "The Kill List" and make a video on it.
In the spirit of witchcraft/paganism movies
@@jimmhoi111 Ive seen it
@@JayDyer haha.. seen most things I reckon...
@Jay Dyer Hereditary was really twisted. Felt some evil spirits lingering about after watching it.
Jay Dyer : Would you think about doing a TH-cam video with Jeffrey Daugherty The Christian whistleblower ?
He's looking for a Gematria wizard 😉
Also Hårga, where the story is set, is famous in Sweden for a folk legend and song about the devil tempting youth to dance until they die on top of a hill.
1. I think there's a lot of commentary on modernity in Midsommar. In modern society, your peers are pushing you away from family/partners (e.g., Christians friends try to convince him to leave Dani, Dani's friend tells her she can find someone else if Christian leaves); in the pagan Swedish commune, the whole family is involved in joining Christian and Pelle's sister together--often in extreme ways (e.g., mind altering drugs and "help" performing). In modern society, patricide/matricide are portrayed as an escape from darkness/depression; to the pagans, the elderly willing give up their lives to preserve the community. Death is present in both; it's shocking in both, but the pagan's ritualize it and "control" it.
I didn't get the feeling that Aster was promoting one over the other, but he clearly presents a dichotomy where we/the west/modern society have lost some positive aspects of pagan communities.
2. I agree that we are left with the question about to what extent Pelle manipulated early events in the movie to get Dani. Maybe the script or an extended cut would help with this.
3. The names are interesting. Josh, the African American grad student, shares his name with Jesus or Yeshua; Christian (i.e., Christianity) steals Josh's thesis and alters it slightly (i.e., Christianity has changed Jesus's message and ideas, who incidentally was stealing knowledge from the pagans). Mark (a gospel writer) is the fool as seen in the mural at the start of the film (i.e., the Biblical writers were fools). Dani derives her name from Daniel ("God is judge") but El/God is stripped from her name. God is not the judge. In the end, she is the judge (and now that Josh/Mark are already dead, she decides to end Christianity as well).
I can’t believe TH-cam pagan larpers think they’re rejecting degeneracy. What a joke.
Excellent video!
a sick nothing, truly a loathsome creature. Yes, but we know Protestantism isn’t true Christianity. It’s a manmade religion.
Well truth to them is relative which is a self refuting idea
Umm what??? So us pagans having our faiths is larping now??
Fuck off dude
You Christians arent the only ones who have beliefs
Midsommer isnt about reap pagans
Its about a fictional pagan cult
Clearly your the ones who are brainwashed because you think a fictional movie is reality
@a sick nothing, truly a loathsome creature. You drunk?
Soundtrack on point.
I still remember the first time I saw The Wicker Man (the original). It left me feeling dirty and deeply unsettled. I really didn't see it coming (the inspectors sacrifice). It was truly unsettling and the acting was top notch. So much so, it didn't even feel like acting. It still holds up today. With films from the 70's; that doesn't happen very often.
The remake holds up well too...in terms of hilarity. "The bees, no not the bees----- *my eyes* -----ahhhhhhh!" Yet, not a single bee was in either of his eyes. Any time I feel like a good laugh, or punching a woman-----I watch the remake.
Great analysis, Jay. You're a genuine gift. Not as much of a gift as the re-watchability of Nic Cage's Wicker Man------but it's a close second, for sure.
Ontologically Steve look th-cam.com/video/bndNzr7jPb4/w-d-xo.html
Am I the only one that watches more of Jay's movie analyses than actual movies? LOL.
I do the same some of those movies are scary ass shit I'd rather just have jay sum them up.
@@alfonsocorral9579 same
Please quit waking up my neighbors yelling "Krom".
I feel like Midsommar is Boards Of Canada's Geogaddi as a movie.
As always, you discuss things that are missed in all other commentary about this subject! Great work!
This is the EXACT video i was looking for after watching The Wicker Man!
Lucifer is the planet venus. Venus was referred to as the Morning star because it was the brightest star in the morning sky. Thats what the bible verse is referring to as well, in hebrew is says “Helel ben shahar” (shining one), then when it got translated to greek they put lucifer which was the greek word for venus. ancients also didnt realize when they saw venus at night it was the same star, and they referred to it as the evening star (hesperides). The mythology of lucifer/venus is also tied to innana and her descent into the underworld. You can see venus today for yourself metaphorically fall from the sky each day. Your content is great I wish you would turn the music down its hard to concentrate.
Me watching midsummer:
** people disappearing and dying at every turn***
***sees bear in a cage
“IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THAT BEAR...”
Me all day...
when I was at BM BRC trippin out on unknown designer caps from LA I had this stunning revelation that I was the fool and they were going to put me in the head at the Burn... So I ran off into the desert and hid in the sand for 2 days with my camelback and some clifbars.. showed them! they had to burn someone else.
Aurther Koestler had disdain for Christianity. In addition to saying that human sacrifice is a natural phenomena, he referred to Christ’s death as a voluntary human sacrifice that the masses deem natural. It’s is actually the end of all sacrifice and the embracing of grace that people truly crave. Human sacrifice is a practice that is abhorrent to the masses and pushed onto them by a psychopathic few. The stance Koestler took on this makes it apparent to me he is a terrible human being and of course a communist.
I need to see this film. The Wicker Man legitimately scared the hell out of me .
Have you seen The Ritual?
kevincarter2020 yes
So I watched it and it just left me disoriented. Same feeling I had after watching suspiria. Like a real ritual was happening or something
@@kevincarter2020 I watched the newer suspiria and it was so disturbing I had to turn it off. The energy was so dark I literally couldnt do it. I think thats the only time I couldnt finish a movie.
10 of Summerisle’s followers disliked this.
Watch "The conspiracy" (2013)
A Canadian documentary style film. This is one of the best conspiracy movies I have ever seen and I'm a hard sell.
Kay C. I’ve seen it
Great vid jay
great vid-lecture and great graphics!
Great video Jay
My analysis of nic Cage wicker man th-cam.com/video/bndNzr7jPb4/w-d-xo.html
Hey bud. Thanks for another great video.
Cool video!! And a huge thank you for turning me unto amidtheruins 1453!! I'm a synthwave girl, and I always have been...and I always will be!! God Bless You.
Pretty sure this is what The Burning Man is all about and Log bomer! #sick
🤠
Very good
Another great video Jay.
Also great synthwave with what sounds like spliced audio of you in the background.
Good analysis
Midsommar was fucked up
Do a video on Conan jay ! that movie has some truths in it man.
Josh canon?
@@JayDyer typo lmao! Conan, Conan the barbarian
What is the symbol (you see it twice) on the walls of the sun pyramid?
the boyfriend is Jack Parsons in Strange Angel 🤔
Crom never required human sacrifice. Read the original Robert E Howard stories...
Yup
Glory to God ☦️
Hey Jay. I was wondering if you have ever read Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash? It is a Sci Fi novel written in the 90’s and in it he describes a dystopian U.S. after an economic collapse where people use a crypto currency. If you have read it, I would like to hear your discussion on it. Thank so much!
Not recommending midsummer? Just because of a sex scene?
😂 what????
no, because it was gross all around
@@JayDyer 'Gross'. What a juvenile reason to dislike a movie.
There just movies dude
Good vid jay.once you educated yourself about the occult you start seeing it everywhere.watched big trouble in little china last nite and lopan is a name used in Crowley's poem hymn to pan.
staunch bear yes that’s in my analysis of it
Thanks Jay, Excellent Analysis as always ;)
I liked you're Christopher Lee
Swedish chef haha haha borkborkbork
Jay, are you saying that you actually enjoy watching these kinds of movies, like the
rest of the sheeple in the theater? or, do you have another motive? like gathering
material for a new book? or for a darker and more sinister reason?
Gerald Jackson when did I say i enjoyed it? I said i don’t recommend it
Jay, you have said often that these kinds of movies are designed as brain washing
to change society. you cannot emphasize this enough. as Jacques Vallee has said,
there is something evil and sinister at work.
Can i ask you what this theme mean to you personally? Also are you serious about the topic? and if you why mock it? The humour you try to potray is insainly off putting.. and even if you are knowledgable it comes of as folish.
I don’t know. I like jays videos because you can tell he’s joking around like a normal guy. Which helps with these demonic topics. Some other people just offer non stop black pills
I hated Midsommar!
Killing of the king i learned from gregs thc cast . where Kennedy was killed on the tree of life (streets) ...tomb of the unknow soldier. Everything...also the star of remfran is the 6 planets with the sun/son in the middle .star of david / solomon magic. Its all ancient astrology magic.
The killing of the Tsar of Russia was also a jewish pagan killing of the Christian King ritual.
