I have an Ullr pendant glued to my dash of my vehicle for over 10 years, I’ve been to more Ullr festivals and bonfires than I can remember the metal statue of Ullr in Breckenridge is amazing and although I now live in a coastal region I still burn a fire in honor of my God! Thank you for sharing and honoring, Like the telling of a saga we must pass the wisdom and knowledge hence Odens eye. Thank you
Snow is super important here in Salt Lake City because it's how we get most of our water. We're actually famous for our snow and skiing still brings in a lot of tourists in the winter. Hail Ullr!
The Dark Age the desert faith sent our's through seems to be very gradually lifting but it is lifting and for that I raise my horn to you for your part in this. As of yet, I have not visited any festivals worth mentioning. It is good to hear they are out there though. We mainly do our own celibrations as it is less of a hassle to field and friend, organize and coordinate. Getting my house in order so to speak, while fervently putting into practice and being very selective.
skateboard and Hockey as a kid. Military for 11 years. former boxer boxer Thai kickboxer.. now I'm 37 and spend most my time shooting old school bows ...I've always felt a connection with Ullr...I wish we knew more. he would probably replace Tyr as my patron diety
Well thank you for your service. :) & that' really cool that you shoot w/ bows. I wish we knew more about Ullr, too, or the martial arts styles back then, that would be fun to take a class in... Happy Heathen Season to you, & Hail Tyr!
We are honoring him by having him in our hearts and minds I definitely wish we knew more but I feel I know it in myself already and thank you sir for service of course! And thank you ma’am for the video again.
Skiing and cross-country skiing have a long history in Norway. The oldest skis found in Norway are in a bog in Drevja in Vefsn in Nordland. The carbon dating shows that they are approx. 5200 years old. The oldest petroglyph of a skier is Bølamannen south of Snåsavatnet. It is approx. 6000 years old. In Norse mythology, the goddess Skade is associated with hunting and skiing. After an unsuccessful marriage with the sea god Njord, she moves alone up into the mountains where she hunts with arrows, bows and spears. She uses the spear as both a ski pole and a weapon. In the summer months, she also hunts on the glaciers (where there is eternal snow). Skade is a Jotun woman, and not born as a goddess. But she becomes an important sacrificial god for hunters in Nordland, Troms, Finnmark, and inner parts of Eastern Norway during and after the Viking Age. She also becomes a kind of link between Sami and Norse mythology. Jotunheimen in Norse mythology is believed to have been located somewhere in Finnmark. The name of the mountain massif that is today called Jotunheimen is a literary name. It was Asmund Olavsønn Vinje who first used it. The name was continued to attract British tourists in the second half of the 19th century. Place names such as Skåbu, Skodje, Skien and Ski are believed to have originated from the skiing goddess Skade. In Snorre Sturlason's royal sagas, skiing is described as a common occupation in winter 1,000 years ago. He writes, among other things, that the Sami were so skilled at skiing that the animals could not run away from them. No other skiers from the Middle Ages are probably more famous and shrouded in myth than the Birkebeiners Torstein Skevla and Skjervald Skrukka's flight across the mountain from the bagels with the king's son Håkon Håkonsson in 1204. Folklore researcher Thor Gotaas has written many books about skiing and skiers. The stories are, among other things, about local ski entrepreneurs who are constantly trying to develop the sport with new materials, bindings, ski lubrication and poles. Equipment hysteria in skiing is not a new phenomenon. Thor Gotaas portrays colorful people who have had a great historical influence in Norway - both locally and nationally.
11:52 See, I'm glad that people are regaining an interest in their heritage but I wonder how many of these people actually become genuine heathens. I don't just want people to celebrate Ullr like it's St. Patrick's Day, I want people to actually believe in and honor the Gods. For the high and holy Gothin to be put back in their rightful place in society. I don't fear mere drunken fools, though. They'll always exist and so long as they respect the Gods and the traditions and institutions They represent I have no issue. What I fear are genuine seekers who without the proper resources are tricked by heretics and e-cult leaders. There are few good resources on TH-cam made by genuine believers (barring this fine channel of course) and I worry it gives people the wrong impression. The bro-satru "I don't kneel before my Gods" Conan-types or pretenders to the faith like so called "universalists" or "inclusive heathens", plagues of Heimdall's children.
Everyone in the family of One. They call in the Indo-european language, ain't nothing Hindu about it, Some Aryans mixed with Dravidians, those are some of our stories as well, sky war of the gods. Someone slipped a nuke through Indus Valley. Maybe to separate.
Creative And witty way to describe a good book is fake news I might have to borrow that from you I like it. I used to have that same shirt you have on. I will be wearing something similar to the Viking pagan festival in Stoughton 4 sure!
I must respectfully disagree. (Jesus invented!) There is a reason our ancestors abandoned the old gods for the One God. Nor anywhere in Norse mythologies do I encounter the concepts of Redemption or Omnipotence. Odin betrays warriors who will win so that they can die in battle, so he can have more warriors in the battle where he will die. A God that dies. And stays dead. That sounds like a problem. As for Jesus walking on water, Lake Genesaret (the Sea of Galilee) quite rarely is in the form of snow. And I point out that the Norwegian flag you wear is based on the symbol of Christ. Sigh. Your appeal to not empower neo-Nazis was very well worded and said, I must say.
@@Svensk7119 The reason is because xtianity was the first religion in Europe to use missionary tactics, and the missionaries used any means of deception to convert people. They portrayed Jesus as a badass warrior, because they knew the true Jesus who wandered the desert with beggars and prostitutes would be despised by the Europeans.
@@Svensk7119 "Lake Galilee becomes snow" I highly doubt that this is what they meant. What would be so miraculous about walking on a solid object? Can ice become precarious? Sure but anyone can walk it if they are careful enough. No one can walk on water. That's why it's a miracle. And apparently Jesus did this during a storm, no less. It's simply a much better story if it's water
Enlightening. Thank you. Good on ya
Thanks for watching, Happy Yuletide! :)

I grew up in southwestern Wyoming, it would be nice if over time a heathen revival so to speak would emerge from the Rockies.
Good video. I learned allot. It's so wonderful to see this much cultural appreciation and because of this I will forgive the horns.
thank you, yes, those horns are incorrect and tactically unsound + no mead or beer in them.

sadly that's what it will become just a bunch of "inclusive" who say that the All-Father was a father to everyone.

Hail Ullr! Hail Skadi!
Hail!
Perfect example of idiocracy in neo political activitism, these folks should do some research before they try to cancel someone.
I totally concur.
And yet again, the muricans forget about Denmark. Stop making videos about this if you cant get things correct.
“Jesus was invented” preach truth! Greatest fictional novel of suppressive control ever written by human hand. I buy not a self serving word of it!
Splendid, skal! Gospel means 'good news'...but it's really fake news lol
