Dear friends! As expected this topic has triggered some emotional haters and trolls. We are doing our best to kick them off the channel. To everyone else: Thanks for the comments. You are awesome!
YOU are the awesome one that I see.. and thank you for everything.
Why would a Norwegian object to trolls? Most of us have seen the documentary film "Troll Hunter". We know.
I do not have any European ancestry as far as I know but coming from a family who left a country because of majority not respecting others beliefs. I have family who live in Spain and eventually some of them emigrated to Belgium with that said I respect all cultures and customs and beliefs. Your Channel speaks to many keep up the great work my friend.
The Welsh (Brythonic Celts) say "Ry'n ni yma o hyd"
Paganism is a very personal experience. You’ll seldom find someone trying to convert you to the old ways. It’s something that you discover on your own that is influenced by the way you view the world around you.
This is why living surrounded by concrete and glass is so utterly depressing, to be cut off from nature, to be seperated from it, kills the soul.
They would get lost in the woods and eaten by the wolves.
Yes cities are just pits for the livestock
so true
i agree i worked in londen for 3 months and it drove me mad ...
The street lights are and have been screwing up animals for a very long time. Birds especially
As an Indian I always support the revival of all the original spiritual roots around the world.
Hinduism is more similar to ancient European religions than to any other religion .
Yes, you're right 😊@@ObsidianSpearhead
@@HeathenNatureLover love you bro
@@ObsidianSpearhead 😀💚
You are our brother ancestors. We are ALL one.
Paganism is the natural religion of mankind.
Of course well said
It's the original religion. Worshipping nature is the earth's best friend
Bullseye!!! 👍👍👍
It's the natural religion of Europeans
Exactly. If you take a closer look to the old religions you can see there are similiarities to each other.
One exampled being the winged celestial horse - Tulpar (Turkic Mythology), Pegasus (Greek Mythology), Devadatta (Hindu mythology)
Other gods and goddesses representing various nature deities, war gods... the list goes on and on.
These old Pagan beliefs are similiar because We ALL worshipped the nature and tried to understand and give a meaning to the worldly events.
Paganism for European and European descended people is our natural state of being.
Paganism is worldwide, from Mesoamerica to the Hindu Kush
@@BruceAlrighty1991 yes it is worldwide, but it’s different for every people and here on this video he is mainly referring to Europeans as that’s what he and his kin are. Lol people always want to include themselves in everything European
All people my friend
@@zaraisbackagain197 Our kin are all people on this planet, no matter their descent. Focusing in on "Europeans" is very dog whistley and makes me question your intentions.
The gods do not discriminate.
@@barbarianandy exactly this...
I'm native American, I feel so happy that people are starting to go back to honoring their ancestors by connecting to their natural roots. Thank you for sharing.
I found another feather my brother
you have some beautiful natural places in America.
Vikings and Native Americans had it right
Islam is truth religion... 🇸🇦
The Red Road, brother! ♥️
Hearing that people like you are going back to their roots is like a breath of fresh air.
Thanks Bjorn. I'm a UK pagan and think humanity's connection to the land is vital. It is the only thing that can save us.
d'accord
Totally agree
Yes
Uk pagan means name the pagan religion like norse, celtic, greek, romans
My German mother used to tell me about those Norse and German myths. They were always about celebrating the beauty of nature and the returning of the sun to bring plenty to all.
Yes, Because they Were still Toooo Spiritually Blind.
@@kopronko Blind to what? The product of conditioning people from birth NOT to think for themselves?
They’re not myths. Myth means that it’s basically a rumor or made up. Lol
@@BR-ex9xp Everything created by humans is 'made-up'. A house or hut is NOT a naturally occurring thing, it is 'made-up'. Not all made-up things are inherently bad.
@@Anon1gh3 Do you REALLY believe ancient cultures taught their citizens Critical Thinking skills? LOL Do you have any documented proof of it to support it? A certain level of conditioning has always been present as a glue to keep society together, working on its collective purpose. Being completely individualistic is bad for a society, as we are experiencing here in the West.
Everybody has the absolute right to determine their own spiritual path. Kudos for having the guts to tell us about yours.
Beyond that, people have a need to do so. One of the important things I note is that culture requires a certain amount of separation, or it disappears. Not isolationism... just some space preserved/left alone, and a culture is preserved. Globalism is the smashing of separation, and will not serve us well. People need to remember the paths their family came through.
No one has any rights. Not even to breathe or beat your heart. Your creator holds that right and exercises it through His loving grace that he supplies the very condition, allowing you another breath and heartbeat. Without it, you are toast. Very limited free will my friend. Who are you the clay pot to say to the potter?
@@sojourner2013 Then live your way and honour your potter. You need not make a sound to be happy.
Thanks to Christians.
@@rightNjust It's not advice, it's a logical conclusion.
I live in Australia. My wife and I are Christians and our kids. But I am very aware that my ancestors worshipped Woden (Odin) and Thunor (Thor) - it became apparent when I realised what the days of the week in English meant. Something so obvious, yet many people don't even realise what it means. I would love to go to Norway, Denmark, Sweden and I really want to go to Iceland. It looks so beautiful and unique. It looks like heaven! Cheers.
Every place can be heaven once you have peace of mind. i am sure where you live would be marvelous to me and other people who dont live there. its exotic! not to put a damper on your enthusiasm, because i believe it probably is beautiful, scenic country. but often there is beauty around us that we become blind to. Cheers to you!
I learnt what the days of the week meant and there origins about 40 years ago like the rune stones with there symbols, found the subject very interesting, even though I'm Christian, everything originated from pagan beliefs, the same as place names in Britain have some very interesting origins. 😀
I grew up as a Catholic, but have always been fascinated and drawn to Paganism my whole life and I start to deconstruct my Catholic Faith and started to do research on Celtic/Nordic Paganism and I feel so much more at peace within Pagan traditions.
You have lost your way. I hope HE shows you the way back to light.

I’m Chiricahua Apache I understand what you mean nature has a very powerful way of communicating with us .. Those stone circles are awesome , native Americans we also believe in circles lots of symbolism in circles. I would love to go visit one day thank you for this video many blessings
Awesome. I am reading about your ancestors now, actually.
@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen I also.
@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen 🙏🏽 would love to learn about your ancestors
Do Apaches do sweat Lodge? I have done 2. Very powerful spiritual experience. Ours was Lakota. I'm very inclusive in my Work by necessity, more Shamanic by ability, so broad experiences are a big key for me. I mix it up without shame. A tree is a tree.
@ntgwindwalker It is interesting in the way that modern governments stopped the spread of our connections to nature's energy with a foreign phenomenon and replaced it with one that collects and enforced taxes on the pillars of mans own creation. I wish to visit Your people and gain a deeper understanding of their interpretation some day.
If you can't appreciate your own cultural heritage, you don't really respect anyone else's.
It’s nice to know people are calling back their heritage. I have Germanic roots and I honor the old traditions.
Same I took a DNA test and I found out I'm tid to lots of pagan people throughout history
@@jackjacobson3893 who?
You’re American
Islam is truth. My channel debunks Christianity.

@@samcaranol4102 nearly 50 million Americans have German heritage.
It warms my soul to know my pagan brothers and sisters are finding their ways back to Old Gods. Cernunnos bless all of you on your hunt.
Thank you! That means a lot to me.
It greatly saddens me.
@@barbarat5729 why?
@@barbarat5729 Be patient. whenever life is chaotic, people seek the spiritual as a mooring. unfortunately, corporate Christianity has done its share of damage and turned people off. Christianity needs to return to IT'S roots as well!
@Inconnu 49 LOL, Christianity helped established the West as you know it today.
I am an American of Scottish/Norwegian roots. I have had the honor of being part of Native American ceremonies and rituals as well. As a Heathen I consider us all brothers and sisters of the drum. Nature is the connection we all need and feel.

Aho brother. The heartbeat of the people is central.
@axmmusic3129 Well met and returned! Skal!
The most cringe thing in the world is Americans appropriating cultures so they can portray themselves as special. It is akin to live action roleplaying. It has become a huge American stereotype.
It's beautiful Bjorn. Thank you for showing this special place to us all. Everyone should have a place that leaves them with no words for all the right reasons.
Yes, Nut the Best Places Are in the Heights ( Both : Natural + Spiritual ) 🙂
Bjorn you are the same age as my father. The values, the way of thinking the knowledge etc you have, were not present in my family and the society i grew up in and that always left me a kind of hopelessnes about the future and a pneumatic isolation. I came across your channel recently and I'm so grateful, everything you put out there helps and gives me hope and courage for tommorow, seeing a kind of father figure that was absent all these years. Keep uploading, you are incredible.
My grandmother was Norwegian, and she recently passed away. I remember that she often talked about wanting to explore her heritage, but life always got in the way. Since she passed I've been feeling the need to do something along those lines, but I haven't really known where to start. Thank you for making this video. I think I know now.
My Grandmother was from Arendal Norway but DNA test specifically noted Bergin Horderland region fjord country so I'll try to find living relatives
Try doing DNA herritage tests and going through church records
Connection with the ancestors and walking in their footsteps. So important!
our ancestors did not put up with garbage. Let's hope we pick that up too. "you are telling me to do WHAT?" and then they get pounded with an axe.
Brutal, and effective.

When I was five years old my mother took me to see The Vikings at the theatre. It deeply affected me. At around 17 years -old I began to lean strongly toward Paganism and have been a Pagan my entire life. I will soon be 69 years-old. When my mother was 90 she mentioned her mother's family did not care for her father who was born in Kiev. She said they called him a "Rus." She had no idea what that meant. After she passed I was in a bookstore and bought a huge book on Viking history. I was sitting in my mountain cabin having a Martini and literally spit it across the room when I got to the section on the Kievan Rus. Then I realized my paternal Grandfather also had Viking blood, having come from Riga. What "silent knowledge" in my blood awakened a five year-old boy cannot be ignored.
DNA memories are real!
Have you got the Viking fingers too?
@@jfilm7466 What are viking fingers? never heard of it.
Strange you say that , I've always had a natural interest in Viking history , only to find out my Great Grandmother was from Denmark.
@@unwnme idk, but the surgeon that operated in my hand after I got attacked by a dog said I had western European hands. He joked it was from the Vikings holding axes😄 idk, I believe it's the creases in your palms. My ancestors came mostly from Scotland & England & a couple from Germany.
I do have N European in my DNA though.
I'm from the Balkans. We also have such places with residual megaliths. We also have people who talk like you.
These are people who have returned to their old roots. They have returned to nature and the truth about their origins. More and more people are talking about it. It is said that once upon a time, only one population of the same culture lived in Europe. So the symbols or the symbolism was one in the whole territory of Europe. I could tell you a lot more. But first I would like to say the following. You brought this closer and clarified it so nicely. Thank you very much. Give me more stories like this. Post from the Balkans...
I reconnected with my heritage, my ancestors, and my ancient past a long time ago and wish anyone else a pleasant journey and hope you find your way back to your home. Everyone has freedom of thought, and each heart knows best where it belongs, but I do believe we should honour and nurture our native heritage and diversity in Europe. I know we are still few, but it warms my heart to see those who share their strength and serenity, to know that as long as the embers burn it will never die.
It's SO beautiful!!! And what is also beautiful to see, is how you actually change when you talk about the old Norse Culture... filled with a big smile, pride and love for it all...
It's SO important to know our roots... (guess why they're trying to take them away... )
Thank you for this beautiful video Björn!
Who is 'they' and why are they trying to take them away?
I grew up in that place, Bjørn. A mystical, peaceful and beautiful place. It makes me happy seeing somone with your platfrom cherish our heritage. We definitley need more of it, and never forget about it.
I ate some mushrooms and couldn't pick up my phone without getting nauseated. We've definitely severed ourselves from the spirit. Getting back to nature will help us regain our humanity.
I found the old gods of the north when I was still a teen. 60 now, and still dedicated to Freyr. Be well my friend. (The drone footage was amazing!)
Thank you! Awesome!
I am Native American Onondaga (mother side)and also a descendent of the Mayan in Mexico (father). My spiritual journey combined them both over time and have completed me as a person. Even though the stone circles are not of my heritage I know there is such a powerful energy in those places that is very real. We are blessed to walk in the places of our Ancestors and marvel and the wisdom they left us. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place that holds a strong place in your heart ❤
I'm in England and I'm surrounded by the same stone structures, the same stone structures that the system tried to eradicate in the Americas. The same thread runs through all our cultures.
Many blessings to you and your beautiful cultural heritage, may the eagles call ring out forever in your soul 🙏
We have stone circles here in the UK.
I worship in the places I can enter.
They've closed them off mostly.
What is your opinion of that?
You Mayas INVENTED QR CODES. That's,a fact. Evil or what🙄
Most Mexicans are Spanish Stina...
My grandad used to walk me down into winchester City as a kid, and we would always stop at Alfreds statue before going up the highstreet, he would tell me stories of Woden and Thunor and the wild hunts.
I think people in European countries are desperate to find a self identity due to a lot of cultures being mostly erased, in a few months Im travelling for a year, and im going to retrace my roots, im going to old saxony and following the journeys of my ancestors, I want to visit the places of the northern tribes, I want to see where the frisians came from, the angles, saxons, jutes, Danes, Swedish, norse, Rus and Icelanders before ending my journey in greenland.
That sounds amazing
Uncle Sam, when you say we, I think you mean 🇮🇱
Matt Volkien, please document your journey! I would love to know about it when you’re done! 👍🏻
@@davereiland9921 I was thinking about staring a new instagram and documenting it.
We have the same ancestors. Enjoy for me!
Hi Bjorn, I really love and admire the work that you are doing. It's wonderful to see you honouring your roots and origins. It resonates with me also. My Mother's Father came to Australia from Vaasa in Finland in around 1900. I have always felt a connection somehow with your part of the world
I was raised as a Christian in the United States, where I still reside, but had opened my mind about four years ago and had an open discussion with a norse pagan. We talked for eight hours about his beliefs and mine. Definitely an eye opener! I am still just as open and willing to learn about those traditions because the roots I was raised with were shaky at best.

Wow! I bet the energy is incredible in that area, it truly is beautiful. I love being in nature too, I’m a hiker. I walked away from the church and it’s beliefs decades ago, it was the greatest gift I ever gave myself... reclaiming my power. Nature has been the best therapy I’ve ever needed. Blessings to all from Michigan ❤️
Thank you, Teresa!
What went wrong?
Agriculture. We became farmers.
Civilization. We became civilized.

Industrialization. We became slaves.
Feminism. We lost our families.
Capitalism. We lost all direction.
Globalization. We lost our homelands.
High-tech. We lost ourselves.
We lost everything.
Start anew. Do better the next time.
Wow well-said!

Beautifully said
I am non-religious, but I love reading about the pre-Abrahamic belief systems in Europe. I hope Europe finds its roots again.
As the wise says they did not destroyed paganism, but rather adopt it. There also Yahweh with Asherah edited or react out of the bible. A wife and 4 trinity........
It no different than Viking ones. Yet they claimed to be true monotheistic 😂😂😂😂. I felt sad for you guys for christian strike
Its roots, are more Christian than pagan, they integrated the pagans beliefs in Christianity.
i am native american, a pagan and sun dancer. we are all connected
Your words in this video touched me deeply. Nature is a big part of my life here in Arizona and I am thankful it is so accessible to me daily. It balances and teaches. It heals and nourishes. Tusen takk as always for your time and effort in making these wise video segments, Respect
Thank you for sharing that place with us Bjorn. I am grateful for these uploads.
Glad you enjoy it!
My heritage covers all of the places of which you speak and more but today I have chosen Christianity. My ancestors carried different views, religions, languages, and yet I'm drawn to listen, to learn, be inspired, and feel. What I know is: nature is my reset button amongst the chaos in the world. To know oneself is power...
As a pakistani I always felt special when I would hear a thunderstorm, so I'm moving to Sweden to find myself a tall blonde white girl to have a Viking family
Bro you have your own culture with its own history and ancient traditions I highly encourage you to embrace that, Pakistani women are beautiful and have just as much value as Swedish ones the ancient Hindu traditions and stories are just as beautiful and deep as the Norse ones and has the advantage of being more alive today
I'm sorry that your interactions with Christianity hasn't been positive. As a Christian, it kinda irritates me to see other Christians behave in a manner that turns people away.
99% of "Christians" believe a false gospel, that's why. True Christianity is different.
Why are pagans 'other Christians ' ? Uk
As a pagan it irritates me when Christian’s shrug off their numerous genocides including the European pagan genocide
@@michaelgloss6411 been quite a while since that went on.
Like the tens of thousands of children raped by priests and million killed in the name of your death cult.
We represent our culture as we interact w other cultures. Without culture or roots, we may hv no direction on how to represent or what to represent. So we must each know our culture. Thanks for the shout out to us American Indians (Native Americans)
Mi'igwech! ( Thank you!) in my Native Language!
I left your lands and returned to the lands of my ancestors because, to me. It's cursed now. I can feel the anguish of indigenous people's beneath the soil. I know that sounds over dramatic, but it's just how I feel. I do not belong there, I never have and I never shall.
But you do. And I pray that you preserve your ancient and sacred customs. Wodens be with us.

@@unusualbug1113 not really, in essence its just a system to somehow save yourself through your own work, paganism worship the creation more maybe? While hindu maintain the fact the highest honor belong to the one creating the creation instead of choosing to worship something lower in the hierarchy, but still you are trying to lift up yourself in all the worldly religions and faiths, save yourself or justify yourself, your own effort and merit is what gains you, self centered at the core
Hinduism and Norse Paganism have the same root, they are both indo European, Hindus went east, Germanic went west and they became their own thing but they still have some similarities in the mythology.
@@Top_Cheeze That's a very very distilled way of describing them, by that logic I could say Buddhism is akin to Islam because in the two your acts will decide your fate.

I worship the Germanic God's and Goddesses. Return to the faith of your ancestors. Wotan is Wisdom..
Thank you for your comment and also for being respectful!
yes i do love them for living in nature but i do not respect them for killings and sacrifices they do for their gods ??? but do you love how they kill everyone ?? or how they make same mistakes and give babies sacrifice them for their false gods ???
@@derim006 You'll find Christians have done a fair bit of killing and sacrificing too.
You have almost the same bloodline as me, brother.
We are back
Most members of the three major religions do not know that the theological roots of each lie in paganism.
Soon after spending several months in Norway I was very impressed by the natural surroundings and the peace in the soul it conveyed. I always felt connected to something very old, enduring, and complete. This is the part of my life I wish I could return to.
I grew up in a Christian family yet I remember never really feeling as though I fit in or felt a connection with the faith. I'd spent most of my time outdoors playing, exploring, or just listening to the different sounds around me and it always felt like something was calling me.
Of course as I reached my teens I started analyzing Christianity in a more literal sense and noticing just the peculiarity of the stories within the bible.. people turned into pillars, a great flood, the sea splitting.. I drifted away from it even more and basically cut all ties with it once I brought my questions to the various Christians I attended school with as well as my family.. and was met with both ridicule and blind faith.
So I turned to Atheism which I felt some comfort in for a time, being free of religious ties and focusing on the world we live in set my mind and heart at ease, until about five or so years ago anyway when I began feeling lost again.
To my surprise my dad had got a gift in the form of one of the family tree trackers I can't remember which one at the moment and while we knew his family had members from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany.. the tests concluded that my dad's family tree leads back to the Scandinavian countries and spread from there. Hearing this I began doing my own research into the cultures of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Happy to say it lead me here to this TH-cam channel and to Norse Paganism.. it's almost like my appreciation of nature and those that have come and gone before us has increased drastically.
I guess this is just some long convoluted way for me to say that I'm finally happy and feel like I belong somewhere.. that I'm part of something worth being a part of and that your words reinforce this feeling. Thank you Bjorn
I have the same never fitted the mould I was in
I'm now free to follow my path peace and light
WE pagans understand u more than u think 👹👹👹💟💟💟💟
It's in the blood, and it can never be completely removed from the people who's ancestors were pagans. There is always something pulling us back. Every day I feel connected while being in nature.
all people have those "pagan" ancestors, no one forced them to convert to christianity and the germanic religion has nothing to do with nature...
I agree
@@raditicat I realize that the word pagan was an insult to the people who were in the practice. But now it's no longer considered an insult, it is just a name that separates the Christian faith from the ancient traditions believing people. I personally have no problem with any belief system. To each their own.
@@raditicat”Germanic religion has nothing to do with nature” is one of the dumber statements I’ve seen on the internet today
@@proudsaiyanprince2651 prove it, Iceland was deforested during the viking age by "pagans" but people now tend to take history and mix it with their stupid believes (feminism, animalism)
I'm a middle-aged Norse pagan as well. I, too, am seeing a huge surge in the old beliefs. Thank you for your videos. They are an inspiration!
Me? I'm a middle edged Frenchman. I believe in frenchiness and humiliated britons. I shall therefore abid to my own torical awesomeness to inspire all kinds of things around France's immediate French viscinity. Might even choose to found the march of the danes myself. Just to make sure everybody keeps believing Danemark (true spelling as far as Charlemagne is concerned) is a part of germaneeric influence. Also, I watched the word Franchise being born myself, back in the daze. Yes!
There's a reason why time buried ancient paganism deep within our past. This "surge" in neo-paganism won't last since the originals couldn't pass the test of time.
@wilka171 Islam is the world's fastest-growing religion whereas paganism is not. Christianity is growing fast outside the West. Again. Time buried dead pagan religions for a reason. It's never coming back.
@daniellinley2706 Irrelevant. Unless you defeat the woketards that controls Western culture, everything you said is a childish dream.
@daniellinley2706 Irrelevant. It's been dead for centuries. You proclaiming it can be "resurrected" because people out there preserved the stories doesn't mean a thing. The old gods are dead and buried and lost in time. No one actually cares anymore.
I left Christianity decades ago, and am a Zen Buddhist now. Your descriptions of Nature are similar to want many Zens belief, in terms of what is called the Tao. I think many people are realizing that these gods we have created are symbols, and they are all highly symbolic of what we should have been revering all along - Nature. We did not come into the Earth, we came out of it, and the elements that we're made of came from the stars. I applaud you and the message in this video!, and you have me thinking about my heritage. Thanks!
I guess that explains why i tend to throw organic trash to my garden and turn it into compost
That part about taking pride in your culture is really great and something I strongly agree with.
_Every single_ country that was involved to any notable degree in WWII has lost most or all pride and nationalism.
Certain people these days talk a lot about 'Diversity' but the diversity the advocate for destroys true diversity. If you have a rainbow of different paints, and you throw them all in a bucket and mix them together, they all disappear into one boring, mucky brown.
True diversity, beautiful diversity, is born of division and isolation. I want the world to once again be filled with divided, isolated, nationalistic countries. Unique cultures, languages, etc.
I hate technology and that plays a part in this, but I'll cut it off there.
George Soros would want otherwise.
Europeans protect your culture and ancestral lands! Stop the Islamification of your home! Make the Gods proud and defends yourselves! Skol! 🍻🙏💯
Not just Islam, but Christianity too, and any other immigrant religion
If there was ever a time in history that the human race needed to contemplate a return to the beliefs and wisdom of our ancestors, it is now.
Thanks Bjorn.

@@linneeaster6651 It took CENTURIES for CHristendom to overtake Paganism. People know of this history and learned lessons from it. Cope. Soon, the circle will be complete, and the Curse of Abraham will be destroyed.
Wow! Go tell that to Baruch Spinoza, Daniel Defoe and Isaac Newton. They'll show you their own motives as part of the usual jest, I'm sure. You current enslaved generation think you're so important in the grand scheme of things, I can see that.

As a henotheist pagan hindu I am glad paganism is reviving in europe.
Hinduism isn't pagan, Unless it's by abrahamic definition.
@@unusualbug1113 Vedic Hinduism has many similarities to Baltic Old Beliefs/Paganism. Our Baltic Gods share similar names and we all come from the same roots of the Indo European people.
@@dinozauriukas100 yes bro but same but we all people are nature lover we are a part of nature not use for exploitation of nature that's why we see global warming ancient belief system always support nature without nature humanity will end 🥺
@@mayankindian3750 I agree! Nature needs to be preserved if we want to preserve humanity.
@@dinozauriukas100 yes 🥺🥰🤗❤️🙂🤨😇
With all the craziness in the news, it's better to get out in nature and watch the trees in the wind. See how the birds sing, where moss covers our past. We can reach out and touch it, connect, if we choose to.
Living here in Britain Celtic and pagan culture has always interested me the lovely swirls in the art it has this feeling of being connected to nature with no straight edges
Anglo-Saxon paganism too
the spiral !
tusend takk, Bjorn for showing us these beautiful landmarks. it is wondrous to see our ancestral treasures.
Much love to you my brother across the sea....keep doing what your doing...
@@mathhewmeischen5070 thanks friend.
What do you believe in as pagan? Do really believe in these "Gods"? I just believe if you go back to paganism you are just bitter in christianity
As a Christian I feel the same way when out in nature.. seeing all that my Heavenly Father has created and the beauty all around, brings me so much peace and joy!! There's a song from my childhood that is special to me and I still sing to this day as a 58yo..
My Heavenly Father Loves Me
Words and music by Clara W. McMaster
Whenever I hear the song of a bird
Or look at the blue, blue sky,
Whenever I feel the rain on my face
Or the wind as it rushes by,
Whenever I touch a velvet rose
Or walk by our lilac tree,
I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heav'nly Father created for me.
He gave me my eyes that I might see
The color of butterfly wings.
He gave me my ears that I might hear
The magical sound of things.
He gave me my life, my mind, my heart:
I thank him rev’rently
For all his creations, of which I’m a part.
Yes, I know Heav’nly Father loves me💜
I have no doubts my Northern European and Scot ancestors were pagans, but I don’t fault that I am a Christian today and my North American roots practiced Christianity for at least 300 years, probably a lot longer than that although it’s hard to trace anything before 1500 in many lines. I agree with you that Christianity was forced on a lot of peoples around the globe and certainly didn’t bring the converts to true faith. That a fair number of true Christian missionaries holding true to Christ’s words were martyred over the centuries simply trying to preach the Gospel is also true. I hold that people can certainly believe what they want, but I’m firm on John 14.6. Anyways I do appreciate your videos and your views and wish I could manage to spend more time out in the wilds.
My thoughts exactly. I will pray for him because he really is a wonderful, spiritual man. But he doesn’t understand that there was one - and only One Creator of Heaven and Earth.🥲🙏🙏🙏✝️🇺🇸💕❤️
@@janetstraw191 Enjoy believing in the schizophrenic vision of a desert hermit in the middle east from 2000 years ago. I will continue believing what my european ancestors have known and seen in nature in my european land since paleolithic times.
I join you in praying for him and others scarred by ‘churchianity.’ The Christian Faith is a very different thing.
@@janetstraw191 How easy it is to say that one just doesn't understand.
@@katiwisdom6038 That is why we need to search for the truth. Just pick up a Bible and begin to read it. Did you know that every, single prophecy in the Bible has come to pass? Except for the Second Coming - which Christians await. Start with the Book of John, especially John 14. Blessings.🥰✝️
This video was perfection, I couldn't have said it any better.
Thank you so much.
Christianity being judged by very non-christian actions, plus even some things from over more than 100 generations ago, and what happened is not the instructions in the bible!
And what about what the pagans did, the vikings did, invading and plundering and killing and stealing and axing anyone in their way, and institutionalized human sacrifices in bogs. Paganism is not innocent!
Thank you for your videos, Bjorn! I'm an American that's Christian with Scottish/English dna and Sweden and Finland. I feel a strong pull to learn more about my ancestry and the old ways without compromising my chosen religion. I learn a lot from you. 🙂🐺
I converted from paganism to Christianity
Well said my friend! I see it happening here in the US as well, people are returning to their roots and it's amazing to see. I've been following Norse Paganism very closely since I was 13, but I got to have my amazing grandparents in my life until just a few years ago. My mothers parents were Danish & Swedish, my fathers parents were German & Finnish, so I was blessed to grow up hearing about where and how they grew up, and even stories of the Gods.
Judeo-messianism has spread its poisonous message among us for nearly two thousand years. Democratic and communist universalisms are more recent, but they have only come to reinforce the old Jewish narrative. These are the same ideals.
That is awesome, Amanda.
Thanks Bjorn. Needed to hear that. Your appreciation of the circles and reverence of nature is truly inspiring and makes me wonder what I, of European decent, have lost from the old ways. I have always had a kindred connection with nature, trees, woods and water and look highly upon the indigenous ways of were I live now-North America. Cheers
You're an American just go out and wash your car again for the hundredth time and make sure to suck up to the HOA.... you have your own forests and hieroglyphs written in the deserts of Arizona so just get out of your mom's basement and do something for once
Thank-you for sharing this precious place with us. 'Belief systems' - this phrase is popping up more and more. Having one that is true to one's soul firmly in place allows the natural orbit of things....
Greetings from Poland :) Slavic power :)
Wait so Slavic is not just in southern Russia?? So Poland does share ancient ways with southern Russia, huh
Read about slavic countries ,there are other slavs except russians..@@marcusgreek3460
I live in Kyoto, Japan, and I see millions of tourists from everywhere visiting are fascinated to visit Shinto shrines which are pagan. Japan was one of the few countries which could avoid Christianity by closing the country off from all foreigners for a couple of hundred years. Paganism is making a general return to the earth. For example, Japanese anime contain worlds (sometimes disguised) of pagan, animistic and magical beliefs based on nature goddesses and gods. The return of paganism in Europe fits in with this global trend.
I do research on paganism in popular culture and I found that the movie Star Wars in 1977 signals the return of the Divine Feminine. I think nature spirituality is important. I found that Shakespeare was a pagan too. And in his work he predicts the return of paganism and witchcraft. (Witchcraft means paganism but no clerics, no large scale organized religion. Large-scale organized religion with clerics, no matter pagan or not, could be a problem because clerics make connections to politicians). I am much more comfortable without groups and clerics.
Thank you for this video, I think it's so important to explore this topic because our natural world is our only home.
I like what you said at the end, "I feel confident because I have strong roots." I view paganism as the celebration of my eternal family. I truly view myself as a daughter of the All Father, Wotan. And that has given me such a secure foundation to explore the world in an honest and connected way.
"...strong roots." Man, what a statement. What a necessity.
I know this video’s been out for a while. But I wanted to say thank you for your insight. This was a terrific topic. Perhaps others would also find it interesting to learn more about different aspects of your beliefs, the symbols in Norse tradition and how they connect you (and us) to our Natural world. -BT
I'm a pagan from Alaska, and I had the wonderful opportunity to spend two weeks driving through Sweden and Norway. So many wonderful ancient sites did I get to see. I went to Uppsala, and I bought a wrought iron Mjolnir necklace, that I wear everyday. It's been about 9 years now. I spent my first night in Malmo. I walked around perfectly safe, and enjoyed the beautiful town. The news I read these days about Malmo makes me very sad.
Also from Alaska and also pagan
@@wesley7879 i see paganism is growing steadily here in alaska skol
I want to visit alaska, i think our ancestors would love it there
What a nice trip! I hope to visit Scandinavia someday. Hopefully things change for the better there.
I live in the MatSu Valley.
Felt right at home there, didn't ya?!
I love these videos where you are out in nature Bjorn. You look truly at one with all that is. Best wishes from England xx
I'm a big Lutheran Christian, but I'm all about Tradition and Religious Freedom. You're right, it is awesome to see such old traditions coming back to countries.
You do realize this is satanic...right!
@@gloriauselton9897 Wrong.
@@misdangered4326 wrong it is satanism pagans worship the sun lucifer is the light bearer from the sun, sacrifice's were made at stone henge at solstice the romans were pagans and you can see the symbolism in the monuments pagan masonic symbolism is also used by the masons in homage to lucifer, the ignorance of people is staggering treating it like some fashion to be different....
@@misdangered4326 nah he right paganism is satanic.
@@misdangered4326 if you don’t serve the Most high creator you are serving Satan. It’s actually quite simple.
Great video Bjorn and thank you for sharing that lovely place in Norway and your thoughts. You are right, we should treasure and protect our ancestors’ legacies.
Great video! Being born in the U.S., I didn't have the cultural past of my ancestors around me as you do. When Asatru found me, a few years shy of 30 years ago, I was an 18 year old kid living in Colorado. It definitely wasn't hard to find that spiritual connection with the Norse Gods within the Rocky Mountains. Once I found it, it didn't really matter where I lived as I brought it with me. You comment about Native Americans really rang true with me too. The sense of Tribe and Culture that they have really seems to reflect what our Pagan ancestors' lives were like on the other side of the world.
Who is Asatru and how did he find you? How did you know it was him and not someone else?
Here in the woods of SE Oklahoma that I live in I often have no words to share the feeling generated just by taking a walk among young trees and the 400 year old native trees. It is ineffable, no words to adequately share the feeling. I can so relate to your word Bjorn!
Much love for you Brother!
Love that area. Camped few times at the Beavers Bend and Winding Stair with some hikes around.
my Choctaw mother was born in 1934 near brokenbow on a reservation delivered by the other women in the tribe
As an American with a Northern European heritage, I cannot say enough how empty this nation feels, spiritually and culturally.
There is no community of like-minded individuals, people are atomized and pit against each other in a rat race without an end, except the release of death. European Americans are discriminated against ceaselessly, by virtually every established institution and our forebears demonized, we are a conquered nation. Unlike us over here, you all in Europe have a chance to preserve and advance your people, don't waste the opportunity.
I'm not religious, nor spiritual, anymore, as I cannot find truth anywhere. The old ways are fascinating, but too many, for lack of better words, LARPers (not you, nor other like you), have made them unattractive, and everyone seems to think they "know" "the" "way", when it seems dogmatic and superficial. I do think Nature is as close as we can get to the supernatural, as it truly is wonderous, but other than that, I have no clue what resonates with me anymore. Just empty.
Best wishes to you all on your journey.
If you are blocking people and calling them trolls because they are simply disagreeing with your historical analysis then that's on you...
But it was pagans that persecuted Christians, not the other way round.
I subscribed to you because I liked that you spoke out against the forced "medicine"
But that doesn't doesn't I will agree with this false take on history prompted by Gibbon and his followers. Read Tom Holland
We can both (Christians and pagans) work together against the modern corporations but don't pretend to make yourself the historic victim
Excellent video, more of this! I agree and feel exactly the same, my roots are deeply Scandinavian, everyone should be proud of their heritage and culture like this.
Greetings from Scotland.
Your videos inspired me last year to get out into Nature and I spent two wonderful holidays in the Highlands, where I found stone circles very similar to these in both Aviemore and Strathpeffer. What strikes me about this video is the excitement in your eyes when talking about Paganism, and once again it is inspiring to hear you talk about the heritage behind these structures. I agree that they must be preserved, and their histories told.
Great content, and love the channel.
That is awesome to hear. Thank you for the comment as well.
@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen UFOs must 💗 this place. I appreciate your drone footage perspective!

@@frasermurray850 Thanks, I'll check them out 👍🏻
Odin is with us. 🖤🌿🔥✨
You are sooo spot on! There is nothing quite as beautiful as making the connection to nature and feeling it's ancient spirit run through you. When you truly reach out to it, it will reach back! It is awesome!!!
Yes! I love that you are confident in who you are and your roots so you can appreciate others. As a born again Christian, I’m sorry about the pAst of many violent and bully Christians that forced their way. Our savior NEVER wanted that… to destroy our brothers and sisters of other cultures. They were deceived by the dark one, which a lot are today. Much love! ❤
Thank you, Jennifer! Likewise!
Never be sorry for evils you did not commit!!
2 Kings 17:12 For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
Read your Bible
The crimes were committed by the catholic empire. A born again Christian has none to do with Roman crimes.
Huh....it was pagans that persecuted christians
Great video, one of your best. I am just beginning to wake up to my pagan heritage and I think it is going to be very helpful for me. Please talk more about this, it just might be our only hope for the future.
I will. And thank you!
I grew up in a farming area on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon, England. There are several stone circles on Dartmoor. So I love being in nature rather than in a town or city and have always had a connection to nature. I loved learning about nature when growing up and could recognise several plants.
I was brought up as Christian but have now been drawn more to paganism and now class myself pagan.
When I went to university in a city I really missed the countryside and the dawn chorus that I would regularly hear. I class myself as a country girl. I now live somewhere that is not far from forests and nature so happy.
It looks beautiful where you are, but give me nature (especially forests) any day. I can quite easily spend a day sitting somewhere like that and watch what happens or see wildlife. I used to do that as a child as well.
Many people say that if you are different religion, and not one of the three Abrahamic Religions…(Jewish, Christian, Islam)…..then you are pagan.
So ancient Norse religion, Ancient Greek religion, Celtic, Wicca, Buddhism, ancient Roman religion, Hinduism, ancient American native religions, ancient Egyptian, native African etc….. are all Pagan.
Personally….I am Theravada Buddhist. If Christians, Jews, and Moslems want to call me “pagan”…..okay… fine. I’m very happy being Buddhist, and not one of the three Abrahamic Religions.
Thank you Bjørn, your words are full of wisdom. Blessings…..☸️ 🙂
As the wise says they did not destroyed paganism, but rather adopt it. There also Yahweh with Asherah edited or react out of the bible. A wife and 4 trinity........
It no different than Viking ones. Yet they claimed to be true monotheistic 😂😂😂😂. I felt sad for you guys for christian strike
I am of Scandinavian - Germanic decent. The rest of me is of indigenous American lineage. When I see stone circles and earthen mounds, I too am at a loss for words. It's hard to fathom the people that came before us and what they endured to get us to where we are now. I'm ever grateful to my past kin.
I am a Christian. I’ve been a follower a long time. Modern Christianity is not a religion of reverence as it was at the beginning, and as paganism is traditionally portrayed. Cultures who have ancestors at the front of their minds don’t destroy their lands or actively enslave their people. This is something worth talking about.
Look into the Orthodox Church.
"I don't think any less of other cultures just because I'm proud of who I am. It's the opposite. It's the opposite. I feel secure in myself because I have strong roots."
- Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen
Well said! 🔥
So well summed up Bjorn. Paganism to me is the celebration of life and the seasons of all things. It does not look to conquer but to understand! To live with and celebrate nature!
True
My thoughts also the pagans worshipped something real like the seasons and the equinoxes it was tied to life and living.
Plenty of pagan societies were extremely violent, both to others and to themselves, through the practice of human sacrifice.
@@fatamorgana909 Just as every belief system has been since then! One to rule them all? Yes I have read various 'scriptures'. For want of a better word!
@@fatamorgana909 You’re right about that…people tend to whitewash the reality of what it all entailed. I’m not down with anything requiring blood sacrifices of any kind.
Thank you for mentioning the celts Bjorn, my family is deeply Celtic in practice. We never went away.
yep, we still hanging in there
We are all Brothers and Sisters Stand strong like a wall.And be proud of your heritage.
Hello Bjorn it's been about 10 years now when i found my way back home to my Pagan past and the ancestors so thank you for this video Hail to the Hammer
Such a beautiful sight. You can feel the energy of it just by watching the video. I would love to see and walk along that area in person. Thank you for sharing it with us Bjorn.
You are a smart man and we agree on a lot of things. I really like your prepping and survival related content. We don't have to agree on everything.
Bjorn you have literally just spoken to me and my soul in this video. Thank you and continue the great work my friend.
People are waking up.
I’m an American, I’m of danish, English, German and Scottish blood. Love my Viking heritage. My great grandfather immigrated to America from Denmark. Knowing where we came from helps us understand who we are. Great video.
There were vikings with Mediterranean and Asian blood.
Me, too, brother. Danish, Norwegian, English, and Welsh in my veins. I'm trying to learn as much about their cultures as I can.
