I have the bond rune for peace on my right inner forearm between two bond runes i constructed myself. After learning the different means of each rune. It just felt right when I put them together. Idk how to describe it, it's like i had seen it before.
If I'm not mistaken Iceland was a mixture of people from the British isles and also Vikings. Perhaps they have more to do with a mixing of runes and oghams. Maybe the number of times they appear in the amulet is significant ? 🤔 Also, the runes had meanings to go with them as well as being used for writing didn't they? Theories, but nonetheless...
Hello! I am fairly new to your channel, but I have been watching your videos in between chapters of Heimskringla and doing so has really helped in further understanding everything I’m reading! I haven’t found anything about vegvisir in your playlist of magical staves…do you have a video about vegvisir? I recently saw a video clip of a scholar saying he hates when he sees people get it tattooed (I have it, as well as Aegishjalmur) because he says that it’s not even Viking at all. I did do my research before I got the tattoos even though I grew up being told what they are, so it WAS disheartening to hear that, but I just need to know if what he’s saying true or not!
When I learnt about the Sator Square it was Ancient Roman....but that was in 1997. I think I need to refer back to my Encyclopedia to refresh my memory. BTW some of those Runes are referred to in Heilung's album, Drif (even the Sator Square). 😉 I'd bet the Rune 'words' are probably meditation chants like Vaam, Lamm, Yaam or the more known Om. 😊
I just had a thought....the Runic 'gibberish' could also be the result of someone practicing carving Runes? It remind me when I was a child in school, we had to practice writing letters in an exercise book. 🤔
Is there any evidence that the Hermetic principles like “as above so below” reflected in these magical works or ideas? If so, would you think this could be tied to indo-European origins of such beliefs?
Have you seen staves presented in Sorcerer's Screed? What is this? There are many "magic" runes and staves. An origin of the book is from the Westfjords of Iceland. It is some kind of a witch's cottage and grimoire. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strandagaldur
Yes I have that book. its good. Alot of those staves we don't know where they come from. but some of them we can trace back to much older magic books in Iceland. Not all the way back to the viking age but the 1500s some of them are from
@@norsemagicandbeliefs8134 thank you for respond. One thing that bothers me is just I could not find the sources of the manuscripts at the end of the book. there is none of them fasnl.ku.dk/browse-manuscripts.aspx handrit.is/en/
@@malhobekabdulov1802 Yes its annoying. The author apparently had several old manuscripts that he used to write it in the 1950s original. But nowhere to be found. Some of the staves are known from manuscripts like Huld, Kreddur and Galdrabok. But others we don't know.
You know about the infamous "fart runes" from the Galdrabók? It contains the phrase "nine needs" which also occurs in Sigtuna Amulet I for example. There's definitively some continuity wtih the galdrastafir tradition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigtuna_amulet_I
Yes actually, as The Mother Rune Hagalaz (Hail) in the form of a snowflake represents the matrix cube of our holographic multiverse, with the polarities above and below. This is the tree Yggdrasil from which Othin hung and grasped the runes.
There is alot of black and white in these videos - christians vs pagans etc and very little grey area. I think you miss the point that neither christianity nor paganism are homogenous. Nordic christianity, especially on a far off island in the ass end of the atlantic will ofc differ from the christianity practiced in Rome. Christianity did ofc not snuff out paganism, it mixed and assimilated with cultures, traditions and beliefs. How does the christian worship of saints differ from the older worship of ancestors and house gods? Why are so many early medieval churches built right next to iron age gravefields? As you have mentioned in other videos, older and non-christian traditions and symbology still remain today. Its not replacing and denying a house of gods with one god, it is acknowledging that God was simply the god of all gods. By the high middle ages and early modern times when these galdrstaffs where made, like aegishjalmur in the 1500-1600 or vegvisir in the 1800, Europe WAS christian (im talking about a taliban level of religiousness). There is no doubt about that. But that does not exclude the "spiritual" side of peoples lives since christian life back then included so much more than what we are fed to believe today. As you ended your video with "..and you like it and have good reason to think that it was a pagan original..." (facts aside), then with that logic, and I agree with it, anything you feel a connection to, can be used as Yours. I am writing this as a hardcore atheist.
To all the haters out there. If you don't like or don't believe...just shut up and go away..you don't have to watch or look at or listen .
I've personally tried the sleep thorn stave. And it works for me. I'm usually an insomniac.
Does it really work?
Really enjoying your channel. Thank you.
20 seconds in and I know this is my guy! :D
Celtic ogham possible relationship?

Interesting that they arent words like i always thought. Good to know!
Is the similarity to snowflakes a possible connection to the magic intent? Even today sparkling crystal flakes make a majestic sight!

The helm of awe looks to me like one word or phrase wrote 8 times, like it is being chanted.
Could you recommend books on Nordic paganism, runes, icelandic magical staves, icelandic magic in Spanish?

What if the awl stave is a rune song. We're you would say the names of the runes a certain amount of times?
I've often wondered if that's how most of these assumed jibberish staves were meant to be used.
@@Cliff82yeah, I was wondering if maybe they have a meter or length to each letter’s pronunciation to create an ohm.
These staves look like the snowflakes we used to make out of scissor and paper during my childhood :) that's nice.

Once you translated it and were playing with it I wonder if it's supposed to be a chant? Just a guess
"Tuwa Lura Alu fahido" -from earth to sky I make magic.
What absolute bollocks.
There I think also is Sol (in the middle) and Stunginn Iss not Iss
If you get them as a tattoo and have done your research 🧐 and truly understand what is going on your body & the implications then go for it
No, me get cool tat me let odin sort it out. Simple as
It’s simple you either had to learn magic or learn to read you couldn’t do both lol
