Who is Odin/Wotan? [An alternative perspective]

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Odin/Wotan is the mysterious wisdom bringer and god of the Norse and Germanic people. But in this video I explain why I think he is so much more.
Join me as I traverse legends, mythology, local histories, and ancient sites, from Europe, to Turkey, Egypt, to Easter Island, and right through Central and South America, tracing the footsteps of this enigmatic figure known as “the wanderer.”

Wotan is Mercury (Hermes) Direct Son of the Titan Jupiter (Zeus), He lived in the Heroes Era and dies when Surtur is relesead. He gives his caduceus to his Son Heimdall.
He is a fallen angel of genesis 6 in disguise.
@@JesusProtects Where do you think your tales come from? The Pagan Mesopotamians!
@@JesusProtects We come from the God of Justice Zeus (Jupiter, Mundilfari), Christians come from the Jewish religion that is not European and the come from the God of the chaos Crono (Saturn, Yahveh, Jehová).
I love the idea that Odin was a real person who was immortalized ❤
Excellent - ty - All hail the All-father.
The fire stone is in sweden
Shariaden? Finish your studies there soon. The Urqui are going to overrun “Middle Earth”. It was a good run though, a good run indeed.
A great video, thank you!
Odin is one of my progenitors . He is also an ancestor of Ragnar Lothbrock and Rollo the Dane as well as the Plantagenet and Tudor dynasties of England !
Interesting perspective! I've been wondering if he really was a person that once lived. Thank You for this!
Wow. Her eyes are amazing...
Very interesting video, i'm really into norse mythology at the moment
More videos please... :)
In Manchuria (north east Asia)there’s is similar legend called Vodin(south) ,or Uldih by northern tribes.
A bearded man from the forest deep.
I would really appreciate if you could point me towards any more information you know about the legend you speak of.
After I read your comment, I did a bit of searching on the internet to try and find the legend you are referring to. I couldn't find it (perhaps it's in Chinese?), but I did find some other interesting information that correlates with it.
There are many similarities between the Danish and Chinese languages.
"Wu-di" was used as a title for Chinese emperors, meaning "warrior king" - similarities between this title and the name Odin have been noted.
I think miss you will find Thor there as well the thunder god United the tribe's but for the life of me i cannot recall the name he was given and that's an annoying thing about getting older LOL
as well as Tengri in Mongolia
The Hopi tribe in Arizona have a similar story. This White Brother came with wisdom and prophecies of the days before a Great Day of Peace and that he’ll return.
Hi I'am German and its a common mistake to call him "Wotan" that was his name by Richard Wagner. In old German he was called "Wodan" or "Wuotan" in Proto-Germanic "Wodanaz"
how is Wuotan pronounced, phonetically speaking?
In England we call him Woden
@@ninastar5833 wu o tin.
Yup in England, its Woden (saxon) but apparently its the same deity as Odin that the norse brought over. The word God also apparently stems from Odin. Old English is very different from what we know today as Modern English.
English Wednesday is Wodens day, we never forget him.
Interesting. As far as I know, no one has yet to make the connections that you've made of Odin/Wotan. I've always felt that there was something incredibly ancient and primal about this deity. His eternal quest to gain wisdom and knowledge led him to sacrifice many things on the way (including one of his eyes) He is highly mysterious and thought-provoking figure.
Ray Dawn as a German by blood and heritage I can tell u all that she is mistaken . Wotan has no ties to the Sun. That would be Sif one of the Goddess of the Vanir . Nice video tho . Just stop mixing our Gods to some Peru or Celtic Gods . Thx
@@rodrev_hiking6757 All Trace back to an original source of knowledge. Names and labels and traditions vary. The common and fundamental knowledge remains common. Who brought this to every corner of the world before and after the cataclysms. Be Proud brother as you are correct there has been many liars seeking to steal and deny our heritage but don't throw the baby out the window with the bath water because of minutia. many are envious and Covetous and hateful of the Aryan people's. No gratitude then or now. All Whites need to unite and not squabble over minutia.
There is nothing thought provoking about a guy who sacrificed one of his eyeballs because he wanted knowledge. It's sad and stupid, a complete dehumanization, the act of a lunatic.
I'm so tired of people not realizing that ALL the ancient gods and demigods are the fallen angels described in genesis 6, praising this fake gods, traitors to humanity and traitors to God.
Jesus protects ... it could metaphorically represent giving something up to gain something of value in return.. which I bet u do a lot it’s nbd
Jesus protects hail Satan
Heres my story with Odin I had been through alot in my life and I'll like to say Odin save me and now I worship him and give thanks to him everyday , I feel Odin change my me and save my life
So great to hear - wishing my best to you.
Did the same for when I was in need of help and he often visited me in my dreams
I THANK GOD THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS THE ONE WHO SAVED ME BY DYING FOR ME, AS I ALSO HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS.... THANK YOU JESUS
@@nsikandominicrobinson1092 call him what you want. I'n every religious book you see the higher deity or the only god talking to people, sending messengers and prophets, sometimes he intervened himself disguised or sent a son to protect mortals. The words deity, divinity and so on come from the name Dyaus, the indoeuropean Sky God that received the name Tiwaz in Germanic (from him we get Tuesday), and Odin/Wodan/Wotanaz originally might have been his messenger or a prophet before becoming a god himself in later traditions. Jesus himself wasn't always considered like God in early Christianity, it took a few centuries for that to be established.
@@nsikandominicrobinson1092 Christian raised my guy. I respect ya. But I am trying to learn about my ancestors beliefs so… move along please.
The Mayans have a God that is called Votan that is almost completely identical to Wotan/Odin. It’s absolutely amazing.
Can you give me the source you got this from ?
@@ramon2008 Google is your friend
Charles Alexander Plat no it’s NOT
The Mayans spoke a language which was very similar to Old High German. Look up the pdf "Weltbilderschütterung" by Erhard Landmann.
@Marcel - Thank you very much for this recommendation. I have a friend who speaks German who is looking into Landmann's work for me. If what Landmann is saying is correct, the implications are stunning.
Finally people who share a thought that I've had for a long time. I have often pondered the idea that the God's have visited all the lands of the Earth to teach them a better way. This is a well done video with a great speaker to tell the story. Cheers.
I had a likewise "aha-moment", as I am slowly turning around and finding both religious as mythical narratives very interesting. And useful!
The Odin figure in Norse mythology and the way it's counterparts/equals/whoknows found across time and place are somehow enthralling. The story about Jesus and the spear, and Odin's sacrifice of his eye and life for the price of wisdom - I know both of them, but I had never made the correlation.
8simonking8 ur right..they are called fallen angels
Not sure if they were "Gods" or just advanced peoples that managed to survive the cataclysm ending the last ice age, who went out and taught the now much more primitive survivors.
Or what if the gods were ordinary people who were leaders and became myths and legends through the centuries
@@dugclrk if they had survived the cataclysm, why do you think the other people who survibed were "primitive"? How old exactly do you think they were?
Besides that, the use of the word primitivs holds way too much prejudice. Christians call pagans primitive, so pagans call whatever came before/was around as well, primitive? Goes to show nothing has been learned.
I could listen to beautiful European women talking about Odin all day.
GENERAL KAEL ALL DAY
I second that mate!
Her accent is fake and she's from Siberia; hardly European.

I subbed as trade for such a great video. Thanks kindred.
wow was odin quetzocawotal or was he a Giant nephilim in mythology a giant was his bro or was that loki???
In Aztec (Mexica) culture the mith of creation is similar too, the gods Quetzalcoatl (Kukulkan in maya, and thus Odín by your description) and his brother Tezcatlipoca used the body of a monster to make the land just as Odin and his brothers. and so many other myths have a lot of thing in comon.
Great video :D
You should compare their symbolism with slavic symbolism it will blow u away
That's so cool I love finding comparisons between cultures!
Thank you for sharing. 🙏
The Kingdom of the Norse which includes "Norway" "Sweden" and "Denmark" are very much related to the Ancient Vedic culture of India as seen in their cosmology and as seen in their pantheon of gods of which the Supreme was "Odin" whose name seems to have its source in the Ancient Sanskrit language.
~
The Norse home of the gods is Asgard which seems to be Sanskrit and the King of Asgard is "Odin" a name which is from "Woden" the Old Saxon god of the wind. "Woden" is the Indo/euro root "Wa" meaning to "blow" its source being the Sanskrit "Va" meaning to "blow" as seen in the Vedic god of the wind "Vata" and "Vayu".
~
"Woden" was originally known as the German storm god "Wode" a simple evolution as the Sanskrit "V" becomes "W" and the Sanskrit "T" becomes "D" hence the Vedic god of the wind "Vata" becomes the German god of the wind "Wode" which then becomes the Old Saxon "Woden" immortalised as "Wednesday" the day of Woden and a name which seems to become "Odin" the god of the Norse and the King of Asgard.
~
"Frigg" is the wife of "Odin" the Queen of heaven and the goddess of love, her name meaning "beloved" "loving" "wife" its source being the Sanskrit "Priya" meaning "beloved" "loving" "wife" and just as "Woden" is immortalised as "Wednesday" the goddess "Frigg" becomes "Friday".
~
"P" becoming a European "F" is a common theme which is seen in the Sanskrit "Panca" becoming "five" the Sanskrit "Pluta" becoming "float" the Sanskrit "Pitr" becoming "father" and here we find the Sanskrit "Priya" becomes the Norse goddess "Frigg".
~
And so we have "Asgard" which is Sanskrit and we have "Odin" which is related to Sanskrit and we have his wife "Frigg" which is definitely Sanskrit, all of which reflects the Sanskrit and Vedic influence upon the Ancient civilisation of the Norse.
~
"The primitive West Europeans had called the god “Wodenaz” this later developed into Wuotan (Old High German) and Wodan (Old Saxon). It is generally believed that he was first thought of as a sky deity, perhaps a wind or storm god with great wisdom and with some sort of powers over life and death." Buckland's Book of Saxon Witchcraft - Raymond Buckland.
~
"This may be evidenced by the derivation of Wodenaz from an Indo-European word, parent also of the Sanskrit vata and the Latin ventus, both meaning 'wind'. He could be compared to the Hindu Lord of the Wind, Vata, and the German storm giant Wode." - Buckland's Book of Saxon Witchcraft - Raymond Buckland. 🍀 💜✌️
My grandmothers maiden name was Oden. Proud of that.

Makes you wonder if we're stuck in a giant loop of history repeating itself.
NO
Of course it’s a cycle! Everything in nature is a cycle!!
There’s nothing new under the sun….
This is fascinating. There is indeed a crucial part of human civilization and more specifically, European civilization, that is being kept hidden from us.
Yes, it is a massive part of the history of human civilization, and it is being kept hidden from us.
That is really interesting. I'm glad I clicked on this. Weird stuff.. how all these different cultures practically describe the same guy and teachings.
Oðinn is all of us, he represent mans spirituality and wisdom. He's a descendant of the sun like we are. In old skandinavia we believed in reincarnation and we believed our forebears wisdom was reborn with them. Like the story were oðinn hangs from the tree of lifez(yggdrasil) in nine days with no food and drink and at last hes giving the runes( wisdom). It symbolise the pregnancy, nine months in the mothers belly with no food or drink and finally born/reborn with the knowledge of the forbears and the placentra is the tree of life.. every god is a representation of ourself.
Heill Odinn,and hail to Varg the teacher.
Or, we are a projection of every god
All of us? Depends who you mean with 'us'.
You shouldn't say "ourself" implying this applies to all individuals.
I think Odin hanged himself in Yggdrasil, and not crucified
Yeah he hung himself and then noticed ruins forming in the water below him and brought the knowledge of the ruins to people.
It's described as sacrificing himself to himself. It teaches a deep meaning. That you must sacrifice yourself through life if you want to become greater.
Crucification was a roman punisment , not realy specific a religion related punisment.
Cuchulain is Gaelic and means hound of the Smith. It is pronounced, coohoolin. Excellent video once again!
It's pronounced "coo-hull-in" and spelled cuchulain.
After searching all my life for answers to my questions, I finally got answers with this video.
Only recently have I begun to study Norse mythology. I always found it impressive how on the whole world again and again similarities of the same "world view" could be found.
After this video I finally got the answers I needed to take the "next step".
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Please revive this channel. Especially in today's times this is what people need.
Greetings from Germany
I am so glad to hear Carlos. I just published some new videos - they are the 2 latest ones on the channel.
Not sure what took so long for this to show up on my recommended list today, but glad it did.
Thanks, subed.
Odin is the King!
Only Jesus but whatever
I have watched this video a few times now, trying to absorb all the information contained within it. Every time, I am amazed by the implications on our current 'world view' of history and who and what this man, Odin, actually was! I look forward to watching more!
I like the necklace! Good vid!
Wow, this is so interesting! Never heard of this connection being mentioned!
I've actually come across way more connections since I made this video - I'll be making another video about them all.
Pondering these things over a morning coffee sounds like a great way to start an inspiring day! :) All the best to you and your wife in exploring your ancestral heritage!
Most of the Gods connected with a 'Message' have the sound or letter 'O' in their Names. The Shape of the Mouth. The Voice.
The Hindu god Vishnu is actually pronounced similarly. The "v" in his name is just an approximation. In Sanskrit this phoneme is actually in between a "v" and "w," making that same initial "o" sound you're talking about.
Ah, so 10,000 years ago they knew about the eventual development of the latin script?
Outstanding video. Connecting the dots appropriately, in my eyes.
A golden nugget among youtube videos of humanity's ancient origins and the origins of our world's religions and spiritual practices that all have at their core.... the transcendence of the material and unity with the divine.
Very intriguing stuff! I have heard a lot about Odin and others you mentioned in the video. I have never heard of these connections among them or how this is part of the teachings of a greater religion though. In these trying times, we could use a teacher like Odin to guide us out of this mess.
The rich and the powerful are the problem. What i mean by that is that they control how much is revealed to us and how much is hidden
Her information is false.
Thyr Lindberg You are false
@Tony Trojak yeah same with Odin "crucifying" himself no he just hung from the life tree to gain wisdom and I see no connection between him and Christ if you really look into things
I had a dream of Odin when I was pregnant. He looked a lot like the image in 2:45 but his hair was much longer and he was a giant. He was hovering over a tunnel that served as a portal. When I went through the portal day became night and then back to day and the road twisted upside down (though it felt right side up). My dream is bits and pieces now but there was a valley filled with every flower you can imagine, and weird metallic towers.
Odin hanged himself from Yggdrasil and stab himself with a spear to gain knowledge. He did not deceaned to Hel, he did not die and he did not do it to sacrifice himself for human sin He was just hanging there staring for 9 days to gain knowledge. Get your facts straight.
You've got a new subscriber!
I started out Christian but eventually i turned to Odin. I always had a hunger for knowledge and wisdom and always new that the bible couldn't be "the one and only truth" because there are so many cultures and belief systems around the world.
Ever since i became a pagan i found that there are to much similarities between all the religions of the world for it to be mere coincidence. From the beginning of my pagan journey i always thought that all of it had to be connected in some way. What you say in this video is a new theory to me and it makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for this, it helps me a lot with understanding certain things!
Then you really don't understand anything of the sacred book, you have to read it with your spirit not your logic..
@@tanitaf1345 It's important to understand your heritage. Religion is if anything an embodiment of the minds of a people. Christianity came after paganism. Yes it did absorb some of the older traditions and rituals but it also heavily damaged and distorted them. Understanding the beliefs of the forefathers has value because their way of thinking was their own and not church instated.
Christ is King eternal and has cut down old Thor's oak.
@SungazerDNB Jesus taught us not to choose tradition over faith. My forefathers worshiped the Roman and Dacian gods, but it's not because they did that that so should I. Christianity is in a sense the continuity of Judaism, and thus is far older than the birth of Jesus Christ.
@valleyscharping The cutting of Thor's oak you are referring to sounds like when king Charlemagne ordered the felling of the sacred Irminsul tree of the Saxons, and then the beheading of 400 Saxon leaders who refused to convert to Christianity. That's an awful event to glorify, particularly among viewers of this video whose religion was being destroyed, and I don't see how Jesus had anything to do with it. In fact I've never read anything in what Jesus said or did that involved forcing people to adopt his message, especially through violence. Are you able to point to anything of his where he does?
You only speak about the sun but Odin is the god of death, war and knowledge not the sun.
It is sad how far adrift man has become. I love being Pagan and rejecting all negative aspects of society and following the universal code of honesty trust and respect. You would very much enjoy the work of Robert Bauval and Graham Handcock 👍🏻 Thanks for this video 🙏🏻
just to state the obvious,muslims are NOT and were NEVER vikings
only scandinavians can hold the job title viking
Humans do humans things wherever we go. Don't attempt to rob cultures of their identity and heritage by rooting them in your own.
Modern society and globalism seems to have that as it's sole purpose for all.
Had to come back to watch this video again, such amazing stuff!
The picture you paint of Odin is how he appears in the latest sources. Where he had been turned into an amalgamation of different cultural aspects. Some from other germanic gods, heroes, and archetypes, and a significant abrahamic portion.
By the time people wrote the havamal, this Odin had become such an amalgamation of foreign influence that i genuinly doubt whether we can still refer to that enitiy with the name "Odin".
Odin is at the core very frightning god like many of his names sugest. He is called the "inciter", the "evildoer", and the "terrible one" Which fits with the etymological origin of his actual name, which comes from "Wuod", which means something like "Ecstatic rage".
The Berserkers, the men who are dedicated to this god specifically, were hated people. They were warriors who killed indiscriminantly, and for pleasure. This lust for blood and battle was incited in them by Odin.
A more subjective confirmation is the recent resurgence of men reconnecting with the primal roots of this frightening god; The result is exactly what his names sugests: Ecstatic rage, which, when not controled properly, is dangerous. This ecstatic rage is incited in men through repetitive rithms, movement, and sugestion, and a focus on this god. from what i have experienced, it is allready overwhelmingly powerful, and drugs has not even been implemented yet; specifically because that would be too dangerous.
Odin is a god that manipulates every situation for the worst. He incites wars, conflict, and division, to reap the benefits of that.
Most of what we know of this god comes from a time where he has allready become an amalgamation. Where other non-Odinic elements have been apllied to the name Odin, or "the high one". Some from other germanic gods, heroes, and archetypes, and a lot from abrahamic influence, which could explain the connection to egyptian aspects.
Odin gathers wisdom and knowledge, but for his own gain. The germanic world also has stories of a man arriving here and teaching people and creating civilization, but that is not Odinic. Heimdal, or Rig plays a part in that, and other stories mention a child washing up in a boat who grew up and taught civilization to the germanic people; which is even more interesting, because there is an indian tribe that has a story about a boy from a pale, blue-eyed people from the east across the sea, that they captured. That boy pale, blue-eyed boy from across the sea started to teach them how to build boats and hunt,etc, before he built a boat for himself and escaped.
long story short: the motifs of a wise god that gently teaches civilization to peopels across the world is not Odinic in origin; it has been atributed to Odin in a very late state, possibly by abrahamic culture, which would explain the connections to gods of Egypt, and the middle east.
Would like to hear people thoughts on this.
yeah odin was a trickster god. always scheming for power. Der ring des Nibelungen has him being ultimately responsible for ragnarok or götterdammerung, for vowing on the runes and failing to uphold. Loki is his sworn brother, who betrays him to have baldur slain. Wotan locks Loki up dripping snake venom into his eyes for eternity, until he can escape, and set his wolf son Fenrir on Wotan to eat him and everything else. this is Wagners adaptation of the old myths. the Wotan of the distant past much wilder and wilier like you say, I think. he was the stranger who would cause the slaughter of a whole village if one of them turned him from their door. he was always after the souls of brave warriors, to grow his army in val halla, to fight Loki at the end. therefore he pitted men against one another to weed out the weak and hasten the departure of the valiant ones.
interesting comment you left, just my interpretation of what you said based on a bit of what I know. as for abrahamic and other religions altering the character-god, that's just the way it goes. there's probably always been a bit of that going on, taken from even older mythology that has been lost...
Interesting stuff. I just know that a connection with a South American deity is close to zero.
Heimdallr was known as the Father of all men and women in the Norse Song of Rig. How the transition from Heimdallr to Odin as the All-Father occurred, and when, were not known to most scholars.
He is carved in stone world wide. The bearded old man.
hey I just finished that book. I agree
Cúchulainn was not the chief God his father Lugh was.
maybe you should look up the oera linda book it tells the history of frisia and goes back thousands of years. frisii = freya's people. it explains the origins of freya and how the 3 main races came to be. it also tells about odin/wotan who was a famous sea king. the autenticity of the book is debated however because it was copied so many times.
Thanks Frank - I'll check it out. It seems so many of the accounts of ancient history come from copies made and compiled from earlier records, which makes sense, as paper doesn't last forever, and historians always quote sources when writing books on historical events (as they weren't there). Then the sources get lost, and the compilation remains. Although errors and interpretations are likely to have been introduced as they so often are in the re-telling of history, I feel they are still worthy sources of study while taking this into account.
Frank P Njord, the sea king and Odin are the same person and God. Odin died of tuberculosis and was buried at Nordians Hög in Swe-eden
wait are you talking about Odin, the Norse god?
ur skraggen : Say what? This doesn't quite jive with the lore. Njord is of the Vanir, and Odin of the Æsir. So how can they be the same being? It makes far more sense to call Frigg and Freya as being two sides of the same coin. The lore helps support that.
Very interesting. I have been very attracted to Odin from the first I read about him. I am glad I found this channel so I can learn more.

Bolenath Avatar that´s why;-)
O∂inn means the raging/roaring breath. He is therefore the Vedic god Rudra, later becoming Shiva. Rudra means 'roar'. When brahman manifests, it does so with a roaring, deafening first breath (read: Big Bang). So one can say that O∂inn/Rudra/Shiva is the first manifestation, the first breath, and also all knowledge accumulated. The first yogi - showing us the union between physical and metaphysical.
There is something to this, the more I study, the more I see similarities. As a historian by trade I can't say this is certain in my class, but in my personal beliefs, I know this true and is the only thing that makes sense. It fills in the gaps that modern history can't rectify yet because it doesn't have enough evidence yet.
Also Cuchulain holds no similarities with Odin.
If anyone, he's best comparable to the likes of Ogma, Hercules or Gilgamesh, not Odin.
We are naming our son Odin, and I love learning about the history of him
Odin is not popular, untrustworthy, unpredictable, unfair, a trickster. He is not the god of the people. Kings, lords, elites, and berserkers. He doesn't care about law, justice and order. He is a god of bloody war and his name "óđinn" translates to "the furious one"
I’ve reached many of the same conclusions myself during my comparative mythology investigations.
The oldest known hakenkreuz (Svastika), an Original Solar representation, was found in Mezine, Ukraine; dated to around 10,000 BCE.
It’s an amazing find and adds to the other evidence that our Solar religion is far older than most “academics” give credit.
I agree fully that Votan, Quetzalcóatl, Kukulcán, Viracocha, Wotan, Óðinn. WoðanaZ, are the same being.
Sounds like you've done some good and solid research Urvegen. It's clear that those who search for the truth with an open mind will inevitably arrive to the same place.
Who is Thor in this comparative mythology. I've learned that the svastika depicts the flight of mjölnir.
And Indra too.
@Corvus Morve nobody here said that either.
Are you sure that's correct? The Svastika is an aryan symbol that is attributed to a South Asian people. There's a reason why the symbol is so prolific in parts of Asia.
WOW. I always knew there was a connection between all religions and mythologies, but i didnt research about it like you did. If what you are saying Is true, then this video is a literal masterpiece, with a los of wisdom
I’ve always felt very drawn to Odin, or perhaps just the name, as though there’s some kind of power behind it. Thanks so much for making this video!
the christians made him an immage of god. so thats just proving you are not drawn there by ancestry. Frej is the scandinavian allfather.

Very well made. I hope you're planning more videos!
That's a tremendous research between cultures, religions and ancient texts. Thanks a lot for presenting it in such an accessible way!
You are describing a archetype - the wise old man. This is not unique but found in all cultures, except our current western one, where man, old and wise are seen as negative
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wise_old_man
This realization came to me via dreams over the last couple of years and I just found this video researching Odin for basically the first time. Just for a reference of how weird the universe is.
Thank you!!! Very good video!!!! But Odin and Jesus - it's total another things and person!!!
"Intelligent blue eyes"
Lmao! I know what you're referencing
what a coincidence
Odinn is a God. He might occupy a human body on occasions but He is a God in His own right. Not to be confused with other Gods or supposed Gods.
Do Thor next!!
Noone likes Thor
@@klarinettensemble4036 For that you won't come to Valhalla!
@@klarinettensemble4036 but Thor is cool
Odin is Hermes / Ahura Mazda based on these illustrations
Aka Lucifer, the big traitor fool that thought he could rebel against God and be unpunished.
AV Lucifer deity
Oh! Toi lucifer qui connaît le monde des morts, sort de la symbolique de l'ange déchu dans laquelle les chrétiens hypocrites t'ont enfermé. Redeviens le porteur de lumière, étoile du matin!
AV Odin namo namaha 🍄🍭🦁
You are so epic, your videography, research, and delivery is par excellance!!! we NEED more neo-pagans like you !!! Thank you so much !!!! Great Job !!! may Freya kiss your beautiful soul. #brilliant #getitgirl
Funny how non Germanic ppl talk about Wotan . Asa og wanahael from Germany . And sry No Wotan has no relation to the Sun. That would be the Goddess Sif of the Vanir
Having 64 generations of documented Norse bloodline going all the way back to my eldest known relative Njord of the Vanier. As you may already know that after the war between the Asier and the Vanier, Njord and his family along with others families from both clans were traded to each side to help bring peace between two rival clans. Njord later married Skadi the giantess who’s father was slain by Odin. According to records, Njord died around 20BC thus giving a bit more specific timeframe to when Odin was alive. I’ve been researching the origins and migration of the Norse people and their Mythology for quite a long time and find you come close in some respects but are not quite there. Not only have I figured out the origins of Norse Mythology but I believe I have figured out where the fabled Asgard and Vanaheim were/are located as well as who Odin was. Odin was of Middle Eastern/Asian decent known as a world traveler but had fled his homeland due to Roman aggression and ended up settling with his followers in Sweden. Odin’s first son Yngvi was made first king of Sweden thus beginning the Yngling Dynasty, the oldest known Scandinavian Dynasty to which I am a direct descendant of. My research still continues and I leave you with a clue as to who I believe Odin really was. The clue I offer took me all the way back to the Old Testament where he is mentioned by another name and is only mentioned in a few verses and then is never mentioned in the book again. My research of Odin has lead to the discovery of his ancestry which goes all the way back to the Phoenicians ( a sea fairing people) and the ancient times of Babylonia. I have so many findings to reveal such as the origins of the Elder Futhark Runic alphabet, Icelandic Vegvisirs and the true meaning of Midgard ( the realm of humans ) but I am considering writing a book based on everything I have discovered, but out of respect I am struggling with divulging the origins of the Norse people and their Mythology for they are the origins of many great stories and legends.
And to think that my research started because a very good friend of mine who is of a religion that doesn’t celebrate our holidays due to their Pagan origins and thought that if I could find the point of convergence/divergence of Paganism and Christianity that they would be able to celebrate the holidays once again.
I'm intrigued and although your reply was 2 years earlier, I hope you have written that book because I'd very much like to read it. If you have not I'm interested in your findings because that is a ton of research.
I did some research and his name has been interpreted your right I will openly say something that will get a lot of people saying I’m crazy or I need help but I do not care
I have said prayer to Odin and Thor and fight and my prayers where answered it was in a life to near death experience that my gf experienced and I prayed to the Norse gods and they answered
My son's middle name is Odin. I think it's TRULY the ONLY reason he survived the servere burns and brain damage that caused a coma. We got him a stuffed animal and named it Slepinar to guard him in his coma. When he woke up, he was now blind in one eye. He's amazing and everyone loves him, but he is SO strong and impulsive. It was a blessing. My family is Scandinavian. I believe it was the spirit of Odin.
I pray to the Alfather he is the truth and the wisdom of life. He does not have much time for us mortals but he admires our efforts to survive.
Jesus christ is the only truth, and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess, see the truth while you still can.
Odinn=Veles .......children of Light not children of the sun
The Japanese also referred to themselves as the children of the Sun I think.
You don't seem to have a sense of direction south America is in south so where is east and where is Europe
Interesting insights here Sakro, Odin has been jumbled up so many times, it is very hard to recognise him in our modern times. I personally believe he may have been part of a group of sages that developed the common denomination of wisdom. When an idea comes to the fore, it travels, others who are perceptive, tune in and follow. Blessings to you.
Odinn is my ancestor. Simple as that.
The similarities in the way that these wisdom bringers are describe, from their clothing to their names and what they taught the people of their particular place in the world is remarkable. So many points of commonality, very interesting and makes once really eager to learn more.
thank you so much for putting this information together in such an accessible way for all.
great work!
Yes it seems these similarities are remarkable :-0. Not only names, which is a huge thing. But also how they looked and dressed. The messages they/he spread. The action of civilising and teaching. The time period. Etc.
And that is only from the evidence we have available!
It’s such a weird feeling, when I come across films or videos about specific deities, I get filled with emotion, and a sense of familiarity and connectedness for some reason… it used to confuse me, I tried to deny it in the past when I had very dogmatic ways of thinking, now I embrace it and see it as a feeling I should trust.
I felt that with this video, it has been a long time since I thought much about Odin but I always felt connected to him. I also think I felt the way I do because your video resonates so much, it feels true. I’ve felt this exact same way about Aphrodite, but I think the subject of her going by many names through many cultures is much more covered than Odin being the same.
It frustrates me how some people see him as a dark god, and they trust the meaning of what sacrifice truly means… so I really appreciate your video that highlights his spreading of knowledge and wisdom throughout different lands. 🤍🤍👽✨
Thank you for the video! I always meant to watch it and I’m glad I finally did.
*I am Turkish and old Scandinavian languages are very similar to old Turkish.*
*old turkish: 𐱅𐰇𐰼𐰜*
*old norse: ᛏᚢᚱᚴ*
The homeland of the Turkic people is located somewhere west of Manchuria. Turkic is a completely different language family. Before the Turks invaded Anatolia they spoke Indo-European languages there.
Excellent vid and thanks for sharing ❤
Haha for u Europeans, doesnt make him white or from Europe,
Ever since I was little i knew Vikings visited us Aztecs and helped us fight against enemies and now I feel like I should be helping the Norselands defend themselves from enemy invaders I genuinely think something happened because I have always been proud of my heritage but so very drawn to Norse mythology as well I can't explain it...
A combination of Brihapati and Deusptia.
we have a famous Norwegian explorer, Thor Heyerdahl that also shared your ide about Odin and where he came from (almost the same area)
And before i saw that Thor Heyerdahl had come to the same conclution, i had done the same (or at least guessed that they came from around the Black sea somewhere) after reading a lot of Norwegian and Icelandic saga`s. :)
The virgin Jesus VS The chad Odin
Odin has taught me so much. He made me realize I've had the wisdom within myself the entire time. :) I'm grateful for his guidance.
ODIN is still manifested and means 1 in Russian
Nice...but you definitely need more subscribers!!!...I think we all need to share this link....Thanks for what you do

That way very good it explains a lot I am a Christian and sixty but lately something has ben pulling me back to sun worshiping. I think all of the men were sons of the lord that came at different time to help man to the next level. I think the next level is about to happen and we will have a better understanding of the world and the universe and the lord. thanks for the teaching. look to the sun.
don't look too closely George, you'll go blind ;)
Odin and Freya are the only gods I've ever met while dreaming.
He put sage in my mouth and I had a vision in the dream, I was also lying naked in the mud - thus very humbled, nothing scary though.
This was such a revealing video, it makes so much sense and explains for the many similarities between the different cultures that was separated by oceans and lands yet which had similar yramids, ancient sacred sites, stories, legends of these / this wisdom bringers. I was really taken aback by the hindu ancient story of the 7 wisdom bringers / vedas and the egyptian reliefs - both show 7 people on the boat telling a story of wisdom travelers. Things really start to add up about the various pyramids, and the cataclysm that happened about 10,000-12,000 years ago. How all of sudden, agriculture started to come about, how cities started to be built, how people started or I should say rebuilt civilization. It's just incredible that nowadays we are able to start piecing back the history of human kind. Incredible really. And the similarities between Odin / Wotan / Kukulcan / Osiris and Jesus is pretty astounding. What are the chances that they are coincidences? At some point, similarities that keep adding up can't be coincidence any longer - and this is wonderful to start seeing a puzzle reveal its picture. What an amazing video really - so much to take it. I'll have to watch it a few times. And these were the fastest 12 min ever! It was such good info, that I couldn't believe it had ended already!
It seems Thoth and Odin have alot it in common
thank you SS
& BEHOLD the return of Israel
One hell of a feat to have been done by one human man in such ancient , cruel and unforgiving times
no recognition to bodin, channel!
Wow thanks. I've been trying to research on connecting deities across the world
It's already there. Look at Syncrestism. 👌🏻👌🏻They are all the same under different names, mythos, allegorical and metaphorical lenses. Peace brother 👍🏻👌🏻💯
Odin and Usir did not even exist in the same time period
