  1. "haha cultural cleansing go brrr". Could not have portrayed it better.

  2. He spent 9 years as a wolf? What?! That is so fucking Germanic... 9 years in my opinion 'obviously' being a symbol for rebirth from the fact that it takes 9 months to give birth.

  3. I tried to see a Lunar eclipse two weeks ago in Europe. Weather was perfectly good an hour ahead. Got progressively worse, I could still see the moon, I step outside, it's gone, completely obscured right as the eclipse happened.

  6. You could've attached the whole Saunta Claus thing to this video when you went to the Harlequin thing in France. Look up Dutch Sinterklaas and there's more variants in Europe. Old white bearded man rides over rooftops, punishing bad children and giving gifts to good ones, speficially letters. Earlier on banquet letters, now chocolate. Oh and his helpers are those French harlequins you mentioned.

  7. Did you just call Angles and Saxons 'Scandinavian'? Bruh. They were continental Germanic tribes (and still are).

  12. I'll be honest I played this video at 0.75 speed. I am starting to believe that you speed up your voice in tools as 0.75 sounds like a perfectly natural speed. Do you drink coffee by any chance?

  14. How about the wolf that swallows the sun in Norse myth? Grímnismál 39, Sköll and Hati, Snorri explains further in his Edda that they swallow moon and sun. And in Vafþruðnismál it is said Fenrir swallows the sun. and Völuspá 57, the sun turns black, earth sinks in the sea. I help you. :)

  17. I like how you call him 'Joe colonizer' because the name Joe comes from Joseph, a christian name that signifies the colonization of Europe by the jews.

  19. 1. Well, not worshipped on Wednesday. Wednesday is just a 'calque' of Latin 'Mercuriī diēs' which we can see in French 'mercredi'. Aka Germanic peoples did not have weeks, just months and years. So they took the weekdays from the Romans and made it their own. 2. And Wen's sacrifice is just a describal of rebirth or birth (same thing to Germanic peoples, every birth is a rebirth). 'nam ek upp runar' "I took up the runes" just means he learns to speak/read/write/wisdom. 3. The unification trope sounds a little thin. He was actually interested in preserving the old way of writing poetry as he wrote himself in his work (the book is an educational book teaching the ways of old poetry related to paganism). And given the fact that the only purpose of this poetry was to pass down pagan stories I'd say he was more than a little interested in the subject. His intro story about Troy is just a distraction meant to convince xtians he wasn't actually a pagan. 4. Ragnarök is also a rebirth. A rebirth of the world. If you actually read Völuspá you'll find that at the end a lot of gods 'come back' and everything is nice again. 5. There's a lot of good theories you mentioned I hadn't thought of myself. 6. None of these myths should be taken at face value. Read and understand them at face value first. And once you know them and start learning more about Northern Europe before the desert cultists came along, the more you'll find that they're just riddles. 7. Like you said at the beginning, gods change over time and to add to that, many seemingly contradictory things are often not when viewed from the original perspective in which the god took shape.

  20. 9:06 By the way Grimm took lines from this section of the story for Little Red Riding Hood. Specifically the part where the wolf was dressed up as the grandma.

  21. Keeping this as a note in case it isn't mention. The Volsunga saga has Sigmund and Sinfjötli change into wolves when they wear a wolfskin. There's also this image of a warrior in a wolfshirt on one of the Torslunda helmet plates. Keep in mind the Volsunga saga is much older than we find it written down. As it is written down in Iceland but features historical names and the river Rhine from continental Europe around the migration era. It is mentioned, I'm leaving this here as a flex.
