So much intellectual garbage, its astounding. The very idea that "whiteness" is associated with these very HUMAN characteristics is fundamentally racist. And this critical theory permeates academia in what once were the FREE-EST nations on Earth. Its stomach turning.

An old churning pisreóg or belief (not superstition!) in the Irish midlands fifty years ago was that if someone visited the house while churning was in progress they should "put their weight on the churn" (give it a few turns) before they left the house lest they "took the butter" with them (meaning the butter wouldn't make- the fairies would have stolen it). The poor local postman was often crippled from churning in a lot of houses as he made his rounds by bicycle through the parish.

Grateful I found your work through the recommendations of those at Healing Roots <3

To late to make a comment but I think what I don't like new age is the grifting and lack of chill.

Very good interview. Look forward to seeing more guests.

Loved your conversations! You're both fantastic. Thank you <3

As a Finnish-American I can say that I am very happy to be so as well! There are amazing traditions and just so happy to be part of this narrative. 🇫🇮

Amazing! Such an uplifting conversation ✨❤️

Wonderful conversation! Singing is such a huge part of my ritual practice. For me it is the main 'tool' in seidr as well. And you don't need words to sing, You can project your intention without words.

Thank you guys for this, I gained a lot of new insight and enjoyed it very much

The conversation I needed. Enjoyed every second.

As you probably know, the Irish also had fire rituals at the solstices, equinoxes and cross quarter holidays. Fires were built on hills and in some rituals, cattle were walked between rows of fire to encourage their productivity, fecundity and to protect them. I think fire also has a cleansing and protecting aspect in many rituals. As to connection to place of origin, my family has been in North America since 1812 on my mothers side and 1895 on my father's, but my longing for Ireland has still been so deep that I finally had to move there and work to get my citizenship. The fact that I was now an "outsider" to the actual current inhabitants and even an object of derision, was incredibly heartbreaking to me. Christy Moore wrote in his song The City of Chicago (where I am from), "In the city of Chicago, there are people yearning for the hills of Donegal."

I often talk to the local magpie population. Sadly don't see many storks. Actually I can't remember the last time I saw one. Living by the sea our town is overrun with flying rats that shit everywhere. 2020 I saw a couple of eurasian cranes.

okay, ik you are talking about Folkeskole, but the word Folk among people who are not danes or scandi associate it with Folkism :p Which might make confusion So maybe include a disclaimer to avoid confusion with folkism and nazism

Hi Rune :) thanks again for your work and sharing. this makes me think of the Norwegian "baune" on top of their mountains, wich is of course a way of communicating over distance, but might there also be a bit of "claming the land ceromoni" for the rulers? Like a way for the king to claim all the lands in the "baune" line with 'his"/and or "family fire" thereby making it impossible for others to claim..

You know how Tyson Yunkaporta talks about the platypus, and how people are working with cane toads in Australia. They are seen as terrible pests over there, but maybe they are able to be worked with like any other being

I am unable to be a magical thinker and pretend or role play. My mind only does critical thinking.

In the Ṛg Veda, the first word (after oṃ) is Agni, meaning both fire and the fire deity. The Vedas were largely ritual manuals detailing how to perform elaborate fire sacrifices in which consecrated fires were used as intermediaries between the Earth and the Heavens. The symbolism of reducing all things consumed by fire to a common substance, ash, and transporting burnt offerings to the sky as smoke later reinterpreted as symbols for inner yogic processes of spiritual awakening. Also, personal gnosis says Surt is the older living being in the Norse pantheon, perhaps older than Ymir.

Like neo-pagan maybe a new term can be coined like neo-indigenous or retro-indigenous for people from colonizer cultures to express their desire to return their ancestoral roots that were so very similar to indigenous communities and to not only make ammends for the damage our society has done to other but heal our selves and culture by learning from the indigenous people about our own ancestral ways. 🤷‍♂️🙇‍♂️

Makes me think of nuclear weapons and how they show a total lack of respect for the destructive power of fire and the land 😢

Oof I i teared up a little bit at "Every day". That hit really hard. The people who grew up with this culture and folklore take it for granted, I think, their connection to the place of their ancestors. They have no need to think of us on this side of the pond. But I do think of them everyday. Wishfully. It is only a dream right now to someday travel to the land of my ancestors.(Finland) That said, I feel as though the simple act of working with a land; planting and putting one's hands in the soil and being in relationship with that place with intention can create a sense of connectedness. Making offerings to the spirits of a place regularly helps me. I feel this honors the first people that once honored them in a way, too. I love the concept of this fire ritual, but as you and another commenter pointed out it doesn't quite feel right in North America to claim a place in this way. I'm not sure what the right answer is, but I appreciate the food for thought and look forward to the Land Connectedness series. ✌🏻

This is great! ❤🔥

I'm just not sure this is a viable path forward on Turtle Island. In the context of the Pyrocene, and our genocidal history, this gesture somehow has the feel of domination. Of claiming. Taking, again. The human has so much more power now, the relationship grown so unbalanced, that maybe this ceremonial imagery sits differently now than it did when we huddled around an isolated hearth to stay alive through an arctic winter. I can't imagine a respectful way to bring this forward to a First Nation with the idea of working 'in embassy' with them. But maybe I'm wrong. We do so need to find some authentic way to connect that feels right. I've spread my father's ashes on the hill. Buried beloved dogs and horses in the clay here. The grass waves over my grandparents. Never lived anywhere else but it's still hard to feel like it's a legitimate home.

Thanks for the share Brother ….. as always good words good vibes . Be well ✝️

Chanting kannaz to a flame is short of what I do. This was a great video.

This definitely gave me a lot to think about! I recently talked to a Heathen about animal sacrifice because I didn't understand what is being sacrificed or offered to deities when the animal's life doesn't belong to us. I was always under the assumption that I offer items as gifts. Things that I have use for or mean something to me. Is there a resource to learn more about the concept of sacrifice in the Animist sense?

I do like your channel, for those who don't want patreon, have you thought of doing membership here on UA-cam?

Nordic Animism upload day is always good day ❤🏺🏛️⚡ Edit: I started really noticing and being highly interested in Iceland as a country and culture after watching the channel Horses video about Iceland and Witchcraft. He covered a lot of history I never knew about the Vikings in Iceland.

I've been using fire to claim land or set Sacred Space for years. Thank you for providing source materials that confirm this aligns with Old Ways practices.

I would have never thought that the sauna and its environs would have its own spiritual entities! Very cool. I’d love to learn more!

Brave and necessary work. That your work is being used by indigenous teachers says it all. Please! a follow up if Frederick Gregoris (sp) has a response to your paper or this directors cut video! I look forward to when white people can take full accountability for the destruction of their history of colonization (even against europeans) and actually contribute to the red, black and yellow nations in repair of the Earth and all relationships.❤

Radical Odinists murdered 2 young girls in Delphi Indiana, and they're railroading an i

I find what you said about fire and community interesting. I personally have found that the friends I've shared a fire with tend to be life long friends, who I often seek to share a campfire with time and again.

the more i hear "right bad, nationalism bad, identity bad", the more i hope that every right and every nationalism will rise all around the world

Hello everyone, does anyone have a link the the intro song? Can't find it, nothing by putting the name of the song or the artists mentioned in the description here. The link to the UA-cam channel of one of the artists seems like it is a dead channel, 3 songs uploaded 7 years ago. And Shazam doesn't recognize it.

Oh I haaaated when we'd have Elderberry soup for dinner as a child. Especially served cold in the summer months. Lol Didn't appreciate so much of our folk practices back then. ❤

My objection to New Age philosophy is that it teaches you are 100% responsible for literally anything that happens to you. The pedophile who got hold of you when you were 3? Your fault, not his, because you are so all-powerful that you planned and created the abuse. Therefore no crime is punishable; there are no such things as predators. I met people who fully believed this, and were suffering from depression & anxiety because they were trying to take on responsibility for “causing” their own abuse while predators got off Scot free. I have worked closely with a real shaman (not New Age-Navajo), the real deal-he’s healed me and many others. He told me what New Agers get wrong about shamanism and it’s EPIC. He had me attend a ceremony where a lot of white New Agers were present but said he could not do a REAL ceremony with them, because when most white New Agers experience the supernatural events common in real ceremonies they freak out so much they disrupt the entire thing. (I don’t freak out at all when I experience the paranormal; I have psychic mediumship abilities so this stuff is old hat to me.). I think New Age is very attractive to people with innate psychic abilities because in the West, religion rejected all these abilities but New Age and other systems, such as modern witchcraft, sprang up in an attempt to remedy this. But these new inventions are not deeply grounded in ancient traditions that have been tested, used, and taught for thousands of years. So there’s a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding of genuine spiritual truths & laws in New Age. Lack of grounding is the other huge issue I see in New Age. New Agers are all about self-transformation, raising themselves up to have peak experiences, seeking enlightenment by going high, not realizing this will get them nowhere spiritually-the real path to spiritual awakening goes down into the underworld (that is the basis of reality), where we find all our healing. That’s just ONE of the many basic misunderstandings of spirituality that New Agers have. There is one church in America and Britain that practices a spirituality similar to New Age but much more grounded, with no wildly inaccurate teachings. The Spiritualist Church was founded in the 1880s by white people and Native Americans who wanted a religion that would accept contact with spirits and healing as part of its tradition. The service is a modified Native American ceremony. Hardly anyone knows anything about them-they’re not big on advertising and are quite small. I was invited to a service and to my surprise found myself surrounded by people just like me-psychics & mediums. Every human has these abilities-we are not special. We’re just awake to our abilities.

Hi thanks for sharing but i speak kayenkeha wish is Mohawk language and culture identity is important to us indigenous people and eagle feathers ate errands and giving though ceremony to that person and our names are exra nickname wish is our indigenous name there is mush more about it

Hi this video dont help any one and i know a lot about it thanks again and good luck 🤞

I have both Norse and Native American heritage and am interested in bio-regional animism as you seem to describe as "de-colonialized".

'...open decolonial paths...' Sorry, you lost me with that statement. I'm into first people's knowledge, but adding that woke garbage about decolonizlism is laughable. 😂

I realize this video is a couple of years old but not old. You got some word skills.

Fantastisk video! Tak 🙌Kan du anbefale noget dansk litteratur om emnet? Med en lignende vinkel. I hvert fald en gennemgang af filosofien bag og de politiske aspekter:)

yes! this resonates so deeply. We can all create a version of the folk school model in our communities, based upon our capacities, even if it within a shared community center or public library space. You have kickstarted the engine wheels of my mind :) And thank you for Nordic Animism, it is such important work you are sharing.
