I had a cool experience with a thunderstorm (bare with me, this one is quite good). I felt the need to buy a Mjolnir for months and I finally ordered a hand forged one from a small blacksmith shop in Finland (I am from England). The day it arrived in the mail, a thunderstorm rolled in. I checked the 2 weather forecast apps I had on my phone and the weather on the TV and none mentioned a thunderstorm. What's more is the whole reason I became a Norse Pagan is because of a dream involving Thor and a thunderstorm (it's too long to describe here). So that unpredicted thunderstorm when my Mjolnir arrived really touched me

My most memorable sign was, when I was actively looking for a new job - a dream job if you will - I went into the woods and said to the gods "if you grant me an interview I shall bring you my beard!". That beard was with me for like 4 years, so it was a long one. Immediately after I stepped out from the woods I got a crystal clear thought - I need to start programming. I am chemical engineer and programming was never my strongest skill. However, the thought and the "vision" were so strong that I laaaaaaaaazily installed python and bought some courses, because I really wished that it was not a sign :D As soon as I printed "Hello world", I got a Linkedin notification that a company in Norway is looking for a chemical engineer who is willing to learn to program. I applied. I got my interview. I shaved my beard and brought it to the woods. I botched the interview... Lesson learned: Be more specific on what you are asking for :D :D :D

0:30 that mouth wiggling got laughing so loud that the neighbors heard me hahahaha

I was in doubt about my religion a few weeks ago because I had never felt the presence of God (I was raised as a Christian). When I went to bed I begged any God(s) to send me a sign so I could know which religion I should follow. It was really dark and there was one light shining on the street so it was shining behind the curtains. Then I saw the shadow of a point of a spear crossing in the light behind the curtains and I felt the presence of Odin. Now I am educating myself with this new religion I want to follow and it feels liberating.

I think one of my issues is the complete opposite. I'm so skeptical, there could be some huge, miraculous-type sign right in my face, and I'll wave it off and rationalize it somehow. lol

I just swore an oath to Thor after giving an offering. When I was walking to the lake edge where I swore my oath I found a large perfect goose feather. I made it a part of my offering. The next day I went to work, for the first time ever at work I came across another goose feather. I took this as a sign that my oath was excepted. This has been my strongest experience in the faith so far.

I had a moment with Odin back in mid November. The sky was cloudy and turning dark, giving the sky a lilac shade, we'd had rather miserable weather so seeing the sky look so beautiful was a nice change. I was helping out during an open day at school and I was stood in the science lab admiring the view. Just after this, a flock of Ravens descended from the sky and landed in the trees just opposite the lab. They were joined by a larger group of Ravens, who flew around the trees as they cried out to each other. I couldn't hear anything else in that moment, the sound of engines and voices were muffled, just the cries and the flap of the wings. The Ravens in the trees joined the ones in the sky and they began to fly together over the site. There must've been at least a hundred. The hairs on the back of my neck stood, and everything felt cold. I didn't know much about Norse paganism, but enough to know the significance of the Raven, and I realised that the Allfather was walking amongst us that day. That this was a message from him. I've been studying this faith a lot closer since then (my mum bought me a Valknut necklace!), but even now it gives me goosebumps thinking about it. That Odin was among us.

I believe my first sign was from Freya. I reached out to her because I lack confidence. I had a dream where a group of women were getting harassed by this really awful lady. They were too scared to stand up for themselves so I did so. I told the rude lady off and this is very unlike me in real life. After I got her to leave the group alone we celebrated by making lemon pastries. I woke up from that dream very really in the morning and I felt completely refreshed and awake. I know people seek Freya out to help them become more confident people and I heard its often that people leave lemon flavored things for her. So I'm taking it as she wants me to not let others rule over or abuse people.

I got a Mjölnir tattoo on my right arm along with 5 runes. It was a bright, sunny summer day, not a cloud in sight. A quarter way through my Mjölnir it started storming and thundering out of nowhere.

My first sign from Freya was really interesting and kinda funny too. I was out hiking and I decided I wanted to talk to the gods while out. I said out loud "I wonder who I should speak too." Right after saying that. This redish hawk swooped down and screeched at me. It landed in a tree right above and just looked at me. I said again out loud "ok I guess I'm talking with Freya." The hawk screeched again. Then flew off.

I've never seen him move that fast before.

My path to Norse Paganism began with a dream of walking through the woods and seeing an owl. The owl had one eye, and as I was drawn closer I saw the eye was a human eye. I remember being terrified, but also somehow humbled by the creature. The next day, even though the dream stayed with me, I figured it was just that...a weird dream. That night, on my way home from work, on a dark woodsy road a great horned owl swooped my windshield. Someone was telling me to pay attention. The gears just clicked together for me with Norse paganism. The Allfather blessed me with a sign to seek knowledge.

What a well put way to describe something that most people either struggle with understanding, or allow their egos to consume completely. Thanks for the vid, Jacob, and for the indepth look on the topic.

One evening when I was doing research about Mani, my cats needed attention, so I went out into the living room to see what they needed, and the moon outside caught my eye. It was full and in a place in the sky it normally wouldn't be at that time (much farther to the right than it should have been) and was an unusual copper color. It felt as though it was meant to be seen by me, like something reaching out. Now I have a glass of water set aside as an offering to Mani. That was the last thing I needed to know this was my path. I'm glad that I found my way to Norse Paganism, and I hope that many others out there find their way to a path that brings them joy.

I wholeheartedly agree that experiences are a personal thing. I have ravens and crows that live near my house but I've only had a couple of real moments where I'd say it was an experience with Odin. I've always felt the Allfather was my guide through this path I've been on for the last 15 years, that's why I had my armring made with raven terminals. I've felt close to Freya before as well after praying to her for help with conceiving after my wife had 4 miscarriages early on. Now that we have a healthy girl due in the next couple of weeks we felt it right to name her Freya as a way to give back to Freya. I even bought my wife a Freya pendant to wear through her pregnancy. I think all signs we recieve will always be a personal experience based on our relationship with the gods. This was a great topic to cover for new heathens bróđir. Hope you're enjoying Germany, I'd be nerding out on almost every chance I could with all the history of Germania.

The gods have saved me for a reason that I will stay on this path for the rest of my life I have been on this path since I was 5 years old and I am 22 years old now and I am really proud to be a Norse pagan and I am really proud to be a heathen I will always keep on doing my research on the wisdom of Odin and these videos are helping me a lot

My final 'conversion' came one day several years ago when I worked on a ferry port in North Wales. I'd been reading a lot about Asatru, and Norse Pagan/Heathenism, and during one period of downtime between sailings, I stepped outside, and respectful asked for a sign - something to finally push me over the edge. At that moment, two huge crows landed on one of the gantrys, directly in front of me; an incredible bolt of lightning forked out of the sky, out over the Irish Sea, followed a few seconds later by a deafening peel of thunder; and then, while I was still gazing in wonder, I was jolted back into the present by the hiss of air brakes, which, when I turned to look, came from a truck pulling a Freya Haulage trailer.

I’m new to worshiping the gods but the other day I spoke with Odin and asked him for guidance and wisdom so long story short I was at work and was doing one of my side tasks and starting feeling like I was being watched and about a minute later a flock of crows started landing and flying around my work place and it felt like I was being acknowledged by him

Gods give you strength brother, thank you for your work and devotion. You honor the Gods, our people, and our ancestors.

I used to live in CO near Red Rocks. I saw Wardruna in 2019 at Red Rocks. Truly a amazing concert. I really enjoyed this video. Very informative.

I’m new to Norse Pagan and while I was going on a walk, it was a regular walk around town so there were cars and people all around but there was one moment where nobody was around me and the air was still like time froze, then I hear two ravens above me on a light post, as I look up they fly away, once out of sight the wind picked back up and cars started going by again, I’m still new to this but now looking on it I really feel like it was a calling of some sort bringing more interest into this belief and the stronger pull to following Odin, figured I’d share that for you

Your reaction to the baby ducks is the same as mine lol adorable

Norse pagan here… I was watching your show on Oden and I had to get a call so I tried to go back to it and this came up so far as I'm concerned… That was a sign from the gods and ice have a visit from this Raven every day every day

Even though I have studied mythology and history it wasn't until recently that I had decided to follow the Gods. A couple of months back I was visited by a white dove who stayed at my bedroom window sill for a good while. I thought that it might be a sign from Freyja to welcome me and that I was on the right path. White doves are not seen in my neck of the woods so it strongly seemed to me that it was a visit from one of the Gods. Thank you for a great video as always. Skol!

I was practicing psychic reading with a friend and called in Angel Gabriel. Immediately saw a trumpet. I wasn't aware at the time a trumpet was his sign. So cool confirmation that yes, beings use symbols and signs and can very often be the same one they show to others. Awesome video ❤

I've only had two definitive sgins/experiences with the gods. One with Freya that I had written about in a separate comment. And this one with Thor. I love going out in thunderstorms and sharing a drink and conversation with Thor. I know Thor isn't in every storm that passes but still it's fun and helps me stay connected. During one storm after sharing a drink with Thor. I decided to meditate on the sound of the rain. While doing this I felt the most intense and powerful presence I have ever felt. Come next to me. It didn't feel scary or negative in any way. Just powerful. I'm almost certain it was Thor. After a few minutes I thanked him for his time and the presence disappeared.

Well done brother you are doing great work in the allfathers name the gods would be very proud of you my friend

The opening is the kind of quality content I have been seeking 👌

I believe that I've seen the allfather staring down at me from the clouds. I was doing my rounds (I work security) and for whatever reason I looked up and saw what appear to be a face coming out of the clouds. Started with the chin, then I saw a mouth, nose and an eye with the other being just a slit in the face like it was closed.

Funny, I see crows every day(the same ones too I think) Also am lucky enough to have a red tail hawk nest near by and got to see 3 of them circling above.

I feel conection to north paganism through viking music :)

I grew up believing chasing birds was bad luck. 10/10 video I take my sister to a park, it has a few lakes and is covered in canadian geese every year. We watch the babies grow and i definitely feel more connected (to nature? The gods?) After going a few times in the spring. Not to say it was a sign, but more of a relief. Changing seasons, maybe? I was watching this video because i had taken my sisters to a park with christmas lights. It's beautiful, volunteers put them up all around the walking trails, and we do it every year. This year, i was driving, and we got lost. So i took a detour. It had just snowed, and there was ice, so we were going a snails pace. This is important because, on a turn, a coyote has run out in front of us. Stopped and hung out for a few moments, looking around and back at us before turning around and heading back the way it came out. The moment i saw it, i stopped, which wasn't hard. We were barely moving over ice. I couldn't stop thinking about it because he could have kept going. Like he must have seen us, we were taking long enough. A friend of mine, on a different path, with similar values, keeps telling me to talk with my "guides." I haven't even opened a book just for myself since i started in healthcare. But since i started with the idea of leaving health care, i have been doing a lot more reading just for myself. I usually write everything i find down to be looked back on later, such as family history and things. I write it down and save it for when i have the information to interpret any meaning. Or if it will lead me anywhere, gain more information.

My most memorable sign from Freya was when I was in class and swarms of ladybug, started crawling out from the window onto my desk and onto me. at the time I was questioning my face and questioning whether I was believing in the right thing. After that moment, I decided to dedicate my practice to Freya, I have now been practising for a couple years and by far the most prominent signs, I have gotten are all tied to Freya, telling me that she is by my side and guiding me.

Lmao perfect beginning 😂

The edit at 4:19 got me haha. Dude on the bike vanished and reappeared. Great video though, being new to the faith your channel has helped so much. Thank you!

I think you see more when you're looking for it specifically. Signs come naturally, don't go out looking for them. You'll find that then you think everything is a sign. When it happens you'll know. I was on a bike ride, I stopped to take a break. I was approached by a piebald doe. It got about 8 feet from me and just watched me while I relaxed for a while. Then it wandered off. It was a great moment. I'm not sure what it meant. Things were rough for me at the time and it was just a serene moment of peace. It reminded me there's a world outside my problems.

Wow! Thank you so much for this! I have been struggling recently and not been able to understand until now! You explain this so well! Thank you so much!

Thank you for all you do Jacob. I am grateful for the information you provide, you have assisted me down my path as well.

A VERY important video. You touched on this subject in an earlier video and it really helped me. I hope this video helps others in the same way! Skal!

I am so glad I found your video. I love how the gods kinda worked through you to show the viewers what signs look like. Thank you for making it. Many Blessings =)

Very helpful as always. Thank you, your channel is invaluable during this journey

It’s odd this even popped up on my feed since I haven’t watched any of your videos in a while and I wasn’t subscribed. Until now of course. Because of this video. My father and I have experienced some very in your face visions and signs, and we’re both very logical individuals and think we’re crazy so we don’t talk about them. This has helped ease my mind and kind of took away some of the negative thoughts in regard to it all. I’ll share with my father and hopefully it eases his mind as well. Thank you.

For me its been a mix, mostly dreams for me has been things of my future moments, example every job I've had I've always had a moment that was in my dream before I got the job.

Thank you for giving the gift of light hearted knowledge. Thank you for passing your own wisdoms forward to us. I very much enjoy watching your videos it is how I start my day as I start on my own journey

A very honest KZfaq video. Thanks Jacob!

I had my first sign today, the one which has really have faith in Paganism, I'm not a Nordic Pagan or a Celtic Pagan but instead a big mix of both of them. I went outside today out of the blue and took off my shoes to feel grounded, things I never do. I've been disabled for a few months now in physical and mental ways so i've come to almost dislike nature because it doesn't mix well. but for some reason I was pulled outside and I followed that pull, i took my shoes off and grounded myself and shouted into the sky thanking the gods and asking for a sign. At first I felt nothing but euphoria, but no physical sign, no ravens or sudden wind.. I began to walk away when I noticed something which completely stopped my heart. A set of ancient pipes lay in the grass in the exact shape of the Celtic triple knot. I was blown away by this, yes coincidences happen but something like this is pushing the term of "coincidence" because next I walked along and froze as I saw Odin's sign in the branches of a tree. I have been welcomed in to both the Celtic and Norse pantheon, and I couldn't be happier I'm still new to this, but I'm slowly researching and making my way so that I may properly worship these gods who I now hold faith in.

Perfect vid from start to finish. I lol’d, I learned, I started chasing all manner of corvid.

As someone who is just starting out on this path i want to say thank you for making this video it was extremely helpful and if i could afford it i would pay for more for sure going to follow your youtube page however. Hope your day is a wonderful one

I love watching your videos I'm just now learning to be Norse pagan my mom introduced me to you cuz I was still discovering of what I wanted to be and I'm just discovered I may be an olden follower this is you and I still got a lot to learn but a lot of your videos have taught me so much I hope you can continue to make more

I was camping for the first time in ca and two crows appeared and I felt the precise of oden and took it as a sign that I was doing the right thing with my family by connecting with nature

Thank you for this eloquent, understanding, and honest explanation.

Me Just Watching You I Feel Conected To The Gods Thank You For Bringing Those Experiences🙏❤️

For all the problems in filming, it was executed perfectly. Well done. I have a small group of friends interested in my faith, and these are things I said to them. I'm glad to have someone better at this than I am agreeing with me.

I just hear their name repeatedly throughout the day or the day before. And when I acknowledge them I feel an overwhelming need to cry or laugh. No in-between

You're quickly becoming one of my favorite Heathens.

Just discovered your site. I like the humor. My signs have always been with feathers. Have a happy Jul.

I know you posted this awhile ago, but it's important to remember that it's okay to seek out visions furiously at first. If you don't keep it on your mind you will lose interest. I've looked at tens of thousands of birds trying to find a sign. Then finally, I was struck with a vivid day dream of a raven landing and it was about to tell me something important, but the vision ended. Then, I see only one bird nearby. I took that one bird as a sign and it was honestly the best advice I received on the problem I was dealing with. Was it just my subconscious telling with an imaginary raven that I needed an answer desperately, and then reading what some part of me knew was right all along? Probably. That's the beauty of our faith. Much of it works for us in summoning our best selves we already have and it's congruent with modern psychology. While I have had extreme anomalies that prove to me the Gods are literally real and powerful in ways I don't yet comprehend, there are many parts of our faith that can serve us without any direct intervention.

I was going through a rough time living in a shack on the northern shores of lake Michigan over the summer and a crow/raven hung around and visited me everyday getting within arms reach, cawing at me, pecking on my roof whenever I went inside. I knew it was of spiritual significance, but had no idea

Your videos have been so helpful for me. As a new follower of the faith I have had MANY questions and most have been answered in your videos. Idk if it's a sign, but I'm 99% sure that Heimdall is the one that showed me this path to take. I didn't have any physical signs but something in me says he did. Skál brother!

That was really funny at the beginning. Thank you!

This video is VERY INFORMATIVE & INTERESTING!

That start made me laugh! Totally been there 😂 great video!!!

I feel like I am still learning as I walk this path as a Norse Paganism.

One of the signs for me is when a male Grackle presents to me. One day I was feeling pretty down. I hadn't gotten out of my car yet and this gracle lands on my hood and walks right to my windshield looking at me... I definitely took this as a sign and I instantly felt better. This is the the first time i've had a Grackle present to me. They are my favorite birds though i love them all. It seems as though the easiest way to get through to me is via my favorite animals, etc. I love it!

I think everything *is* a sign. Sometimes it's a sign that things are just as they are supposed to be. So, yes a sign. But not necessarily a *personal sign* that means we need to respond in an unusual way.

Those intros got me rolling man keep making these badass videos please.

I thought I’d just share a little experience I had about a year ago. I’m a trail runner. And so I was out right around Yule in my local woods, running a trail I’ve gone down many times in training for an early season marathon. But this time I noticed an offshoot in the trail I hadn’t ever paid any attention to, and I just got a strong compulsion to take that path this time-even though I didn’t know that trail and if it would fit my training plan or not. But what the heck. I just felt very strongly that I wanted to explore that path. So, on a whim I took it. And a few minutes in I started seeing “crows”. Lots of them. Like at least 30. Except they were huge! I’m not sure m, but I think they may have actually been ravens. Their beaks looked bigger than crows. I was just thinking, “ Cool! I didn’t know we had ravens here!” And I kept running along. Then I started noticing, every couple of trees or so, there was a little silver Christmas ornament hanging on a branch near the trail. And I started getting overwhelmingly awestruck, feeling of just gratitude and excitement. Like something amazing was about to happen and I didn’t know what to expect, but it was something. Nothing actually happened other than me having one of the best runs of my life. But It was just a very weird feeling. Idk. Maybe just a runners high, but it felt super spiritual to me and to this day when I think about it that same feeling comes up. I was wondering if Oden has any affiliation with silver? I know the crow thing. And it does seem appropriate to have a sudden urge to explore an unknown path. I was just curious because the ornaments really seemed to be a catalyst to that feeling. And it was super weird because I tried going back the next day and all the ornaments were totally gone. Maybe the crows took them all:p they do like shiny things. Anyway, that’s my experience. Interpreting would be welcome

I saw a dead raven in the road by my old apartment, also in Colorado oddly enough to mirror your story. I saw it, and I immediately thought of Odin sacrificing himself on Yggdrasil, dying to become something new. Shortly after I felt this great change come over me, and I've been letting people step on me less, something I've been working on for a very long time. Thank you for this great video!

When you heard the trumpets and saluted 😂 you gave some really great info thank you plus your hilarious so I’m glad i found your channel!

I NEEDED THIS JUST TODAY TYSM!!!!!!

My first month into learning more about Norse Paganism, after finding out there are still practitioners, I was in the mountains just trying to connect with nature…. And on a large stone I was about to sit on there was a 5” twig in the perfect shape of the Algiz rune. It was a huge sign for me as I had been feeling lost after leaving Christianity. That was just over one year ago. This week I received my first tattoo and the Algiz rune is part of it. I am so grateful for this path. It changed my life

ya i work at a golf course and i see birds all the time but no one time i was praying to odin for good luck and wisdom then not kidding you 5mins later a the biggest Raven i ever seen shows up like 3 feet away from me just looking right at me for 30sec then fly's off i was thanking odin for hearing me and later that day i ended up having a great day and got luck coz that same day a guy gave me a big tip at work it was great

There are many things that were signs to me that I still think back on. One was a visit from my grandmother after she passed away. I wasn't a norse pagan yet, but I was doing research in paganism at the time. The only way I could describe the location of the dream was in a cave like place. Everything had a blueish/gray hue to it. There was cold dirt under my feet, and a slight chill in the air, and my grandmother was laying in the dirt. I can't remember if she was buried slightly or resting upon it...But she had a blueish tint to herself too. And she looked chalky, and just scared. She told me "Death isn't the final destination." I woke up, and sprang out of my bed as if it was on fire. Another one is I was trying to find connection with the gods, and felt so lost. I was walking with my kids and two massive birds followed me. I dont know what they were. It was snowing lightly, there wasnt much sun and I didnt have my glasses on. But they were HUGE. and they landed on a post (One on said post, and the other on the line connected to it) and stayed there. The whole time I was there. They remained watching me as I walked about, and I ended up getting creeped out and leaving. My foot left the park and they flew away. I still have pictures of these birds. I sent them to my husband freaking out about them and he was even like....uhhhh wow. Another time, and it up for debate. It was monsoon season. But I suffer from severe anxiety and I pray to thor for protection, and for strength. I remember a particular day I was having the worst meltdown/panic attacks and I was calling to thor for help. And it started storming, and I called out Thors name in a sob and lighting cracked through the sky and shook my window. I poured myself wine, one for me and one for thor and sat outside and it was as if my agony washed away with the rain. Another is a dream. I dreamed I was killed on a battlefield, and my stomach was ripped out and a raven was feasting on my intestines', while another crow was staring into my eyes. Another one was I was running in a forest and a raven was flying above me and i jumped off a cliffed and in mid air changed into a wolf, landed on four feet, and ran through a forest. I felt free and I knew i was dreaming and it didnt want to wake up. And one was from years ago, I laid down to fall asleep, and before my eyes a moon. A bright bright full moon rising before me, and there was the ocean lapping at my feet...My eyes flew open and I freaked out. My ex was looking at me like I was crazy. All these seem like obvious signs. A true connection. But i still struggle with my path. If im inside too often i feel so disconnected from the gods. But when I am outside I look at the mountains and i think of Jotunheim. I walk by a graveyard and I think of Helheim, or when I look up at the sky I see Asgard. To me these world overlap. But i still struggle with rituals, and celebrating the holidays. I get so worried about being judged even by my own husband.

So this is what I believe to be my first encounter with Freyja…. my grandpa died when i was in 3rd grade years ago… this week two days ago, my neighbor ran to get my son and I while we played in the front yard randomly shouting,”THERE IS A HAWK’S NEST WITH BABIES IN THE NEIGHBORS TREE! Do you wanna see??” She hands me binoculars. We share a yard with them basically. Mind you I am still new to norse paganism, thought nothing of it till now. I started reading this book I found at Barnes and Noble an illustrated recap book with short tidbits on the gods. I have been reading it at bedtime. Well tonight, I had a vivid recollection of the song from my grandpa’s funeral… I then start looking for his obituary online to find more stuff about that day and to feel a connection, I miss him. Well, he used to be a bird watcher, so I started to see it all click, the hawk, my neighbor handing me binoculars like I did with my grandpa watching birds. I look up his grave burial location next to see if i can get pics of his gravestone and realize he was buried on April 28th, 2001…. it hits me that is a couple days away the 28th!! Way too much coincidence! Starting looking up on YT if the dead can connect people in norse paganism and found your video. I’m just in shock tbh it’s too much to be coincidence!! I plan to visit his gravesite. I’ve seen him in my dreams before too, I have a heart condition I stop breathing at night and many times I wake up feeling his presence. I think this is def a sign from Freya. It’s scary stepping away from Christianity but I’ve never been so sure of norse paganism before… it hits different. It’s real :)

I appreciate the people here who shared their experiences. Try as we might, we humans can’t separate ourselves from the circles of life. Our connections to nature are rooted in our primal consciousness and racial memory, and the mind will make connections with natural phenomena. The messages are there if you let your deeper self override your ego.

I’m English/Norwegian and I was visiting the Viking settlement in Gudvangen, Norway. On the morning I was due to leave, it has been raining constantly and five minutes before the bus was due to arrive, the rain stopped and the most vibrant rainbow I’ve ever seen appeared over the river and between the tops of two mountains. I’m not ready or worthy of Valhalla yet, but seeing the Bifröst reveal itself before me like that will stay with me always.

I had a dream where 2 ravens landed on my shoulders as I’m walking down a path, I’ve interpreted this as Odin watching me as I walk the path of life, very beautiful

I ordered a couple Norse deity statues for my husband a while back. I opened each package, inspecting for breakage or defaults as these were meant for gifts and my husband is very picky with things of representation especially of Gods. As I got to the last package it was Odin, I picked it up and held it upwards in the sunlight looking for crack or chips and the very moment I held it up 2 crows flew about 10 feet above me with the one in lead cawing. I felt excited, almost like i wanted to giggle with butterflies in my stomach, not that I was startled by the crows or anything I live on 10 acres of land on a mountain that is mostly wooded with many animals. But I couldn’t shake the feeling I had for a while, and once I got to wrapping the gifts for my husband felt it again and chose not to wrap Odin and went ahead and placed his statue on display as an early surprise for my husband. I’m not sure if it was a sign or not but I asked husband about working with and worshiping the Norse gods, particularly Odin and his response was “Odin seeks wisdom and is a god of self sacrifice, if you choose to worship him then you first need to educate yourself as much as you possibly can” 😅 he wouldn’t give me much information that I asked for either, he told me I had to put my own work and effort in. I’ve read so many books that tell many different tells or the Norse God’s, joined tons of groups on social media and it’s been months now and finally I went to KZfaq and I’m so happy I found your channel. I feel a sort of, rightness? While listening to you.

Hail Jacob, my name is Vinícius, im 20, im from the south states of Brazil and just started my path with the old gods. Living in a place like Brazil obviously makes it realy difficult for someone from our faith to find others who share it, cus its even less common then it is in the US. I would love if you could make a video of advices to people like me, in more latin cultures from the southern parts of the world, on how to connect with and find our brothers and sisters. I know they are out there but here is even more hard to find them, and i can surely just be a solitary pagan, but its always nice to find people to share this expiriences with us. So thank you anyway. Love your channel, it has been really helpfull to me. May the gods guard and guide you brother. Sköll!!!!! (sorry for the bad english)

I believe the gods have not only given me a sign, but a mission. They’ve told me to travel east, and to take the path that cuts through the middle of the country. I’m exited and terrified, but I think I’ll reach my goal in the end

I had a really cool moment. I did some cleansing, first spells, and others things at my altar. My husband came upstairs right afterwards and told me to look outside. There was a massive amount of either crows or ravens. I took it as a sign that I am on the right path.

Thank you for saying, “. . . not imposing those things on other people.” I believe that imposing upon others has been the biggest negative aspect of Christianity that appalls so many and has caused many to seek other forms of spirituality and worship.

Thank you for this video. No interpretation needed but I wanted to share this experience. I was living in Colorado in a town surrounded by federally protected reserves. So I would experience wildlife on a regular basis but there were a few instances that felt very special. Like a pack of Coyotes in the open walking along side us as we walked the trail. They had two pups. A black coyote and a beige one. It felt almost like a reflection of my family. Felt like home. Then another time a owl was sitting in the middle of the road and just stared at us for a couple of minutes before flying away. I looked up the native meaning and it was a good one. Follow your path courageously and keep moving, everything will be fine.

Well said. Thank you.

This morning as i was drinking my coffee outside in my garden i saw a sunrise more beautiful than others i have seen in the past two years and thought is this a sign from Frigg

Did anyone else notice, pretty much immediately after his bit about thunderstorms and Thor, there was thunder rumbling in the background?

My very first offering to Odin was a fairly large Bud of marijuana. It's something that's important to me I consider it equal to money and wealth because I sell it. I had a candlelit with my offering in a shell offering Bowl. I said my oath in accordance with one of your earlier videos actually on how to give offerings in your home. In the morning I found my offering Gone and the candle extinguished. Now I do realize I'm not alone in my house and I do believe my own father does smoke weed and early that morning he had to leave the house and could have seen the candlelit not knowing what the altar was for just seeing marijuana in a shell, so he probably put out the candle and took the weed. But to me I took it as a sign actually like Odin accepted my offer through my father. My dad could not have known at all what the candle and shell was for maybe he thought I forgot it and put it out before he left so it wouldn't burn the house down or something. Or maybe my dad didn't find it at all and Odin actually accepted the offering.

I have had several signs, in my journey, from the gods. They come, at least in my experience, when I am actually seeking an answer to something, and something happens in that moment to let me know I am on the right path. I have had two experiences that were overwhelming and meaningful in the moment that they happened, and I personally have no doubt of them. The first was when I gave my first truly meaningful gift to the gods, and the second when I made a huge change in my daily life and was seeking the gods favor in what I was doing. I am not going to go into them specifically, but they were real and meaningful to me, and they were not minor things, but very blatant things that happened directly in my presence, with no one else present to effect the space, and they were physical things that happened that were one off events, not just a small things but loud pronounced and obvious.

Awesome, thank you😀

Oh my god🤣🤣 My favorite video of yours so far🤣🤣 Sounds a lot like how HearthWitch explained this. I agree completely.

A couple winters ago. I was working in the Tahoe area doing snow removal. When I got back to my truck. There were two Ravens hanging out on my truck. By the time I had my phone out and got a pic one of them flew over to the snow bank. While the other stayed and talked to me for a food two or three minutes, and let me get about four or five feet from him before he went to the snow bank also. It was an amazing experience and very fulfilling. I just wish i knew the meaning of that experience.

I'll never forget how odin reached out to me. Odin wasn't a thought that often crossed my mind, but that changed after this one day. I was at work, making pizza and cleaning up messes, and we had the doors open to keep cool. I was standing about 3 or 4 feet away from the door taking in the breeze, when out of nowhere a crow lands right in the door way. Little guy looked right at me for a good few seconds, and I back at them. Then he looked away and took off. I didn't think much of it at first, just thought it was a cool little experience. Then I started hearing odins name everywhere. Games, books, people talking it, was nuts. So I did a little digging, cause this didn't feel like coincidence anymore,, and since then I've taken it as a sign that the allfather is keeping his eye on me. I'm not sure for what reason, but in my time communing with him and feeling the situation out he sent me a message to be patient. I suppose I'm still waiting and searching for the answer. Since then I've grown in a very different way and feel a deep connection with odin. Very mysterious one he is

Love and light brother, i am a proud Norse pagan about to start using this platform to teach people about witchcraft and paganism. My first video will be about divination and how to do it as it's my strongest suit. Lol little tarot joke there. Either way nice stumbling across your channel like this ❤

Holy crap… I just realized, Odin has been after me for years... he gave me a huge sign, which I didn’t realize was him until now. When I was 9 years old, I was getting into the back of my mom’s car when hundreds of crows landed on top of it/around the driveway. My brother was there with me in the back seat, mortified, and saw the whole thing. Then, after a few minutes, they all got up and flew away. I can’t believe I didn’t realize that this was a sign sooner. It was a moment that really stuck with me…. I couldn’t explain why until now.

Seeing you leap across the mighty river, my brain immediately went to Gimli asking Aragorn to toss him 😂

I like the mythology of Haida indigenous of the raven. I just learned of Odin and his wisdom Ravens, just seems that Ravens in mythology has a roll of being smart like the Gods. When I see a Raven in the wild I get goose bumbs. I ask the Raven to show me the way . The way in life and death.

The other day I was watching another one of your videos (maybe the Freya one you mentioned in this video?). I mentioned in the comments that I had just really noticed/ discovered Sigyn and felt a real and special connection to her, thinking that she may be my main patron goddess. I was also doing lots of other deep dive research and began to feel closer to Odin and Freya. [I am also a witch and had never felt close to the Norse gods in my craft. Ive recently been diving deeper into Norse gods though for my pagan path and ancestor work though.] Anyway, that night, a grizzled stray persian cat with a messed up eye joined the cats I feed on my back patio. Somehow I knew it was Odin pleased with my research and recent insights. I know, Odin doesnt normally appear to people as a cat. But its a form common and close to me and I was just struck by the name Odin the second I saw it. On the other hand though, the persian cat has remained and has driven the mother cat and kittens I had been feeding away!

I am a christian. I go into the forest(s) around my house just to enjoy its beauty, sometimes to be surrounded by the Lord and seek His wisdom. This particular time it was to unwind and seek guidance. This particular time was for the latter, except I went walking into the woods going a way I almost never go. It has been storming, rain and thunder all day and the ferns and the trees were glistening beautifully in the rain. I rounded the corner and there was a crow standing on the ground with it’s left wing facing me. I could see that it’s wing was slashed down the length of it and it will most likely never fly again. I prayed to God for wisdom and strength because I debated killing it in order to keep it from suffering or being hunted by a predator. I grabbed a large stick and I was fixing to club it over the head when I stopped and began to walk around it when it flopped away from me and went under the fence to my neighbors property, and I then continued on my walk. I took this as the Lord testing my faith because I’ve been researching paganism out of curiosity. I’m curious though as to how a pagan would interpret this. Enjoy!

On dreams and visions: a dream you can control when you find out your dreaming, a vision you cannot control when you find out your dreaming.

My first sign was really really weird and kind of embarrassing so please don't remind me of that, but it was before I had started the group therapy program I went to a while ago. I was having a dream that my boyfriend and I were having some *couple time* and during that, his face changed. We finished and we were both naked and sitting on what kind of looked like a picnic table (no clue why) and I just knew for some reason that this person was loki. I was looking into paganism as a general thing at the time and couldn't tell you how I knew it was him, but I just knew. It felt like having a conversation with a friend, like he and I had known each other for a long time. We talked about how I was feeling (I have severe OCD and at the time it was really bad as well as some issues with trauma from a past relationship), and he encouraged me to seek help, tried to make me smile, and gave me comfort. I took it as a sign of bringing change into my life and looked for group therapy the next morning. It was extremely helpful and now I view my mental health completely differently and I cope with it better than I ever have before. I think I was given this sign because of the amount of chaos happening in my life because of my disorder, Loki helped guide me to learning how to handle it!
