Which Pagan path do you follow? Share below in the comments! 😊

I'm a practicing Norse pagan. The Hávamál, while not holy book, is full of good advice. Don't get drunk and say unintelligent things, always look and be aware of your surroundings before you walk, and die with a good reputation. This is all very useful advice.

As a Hindu Namaste & Love to all my Pagan brothers and sisters. May the Gods & Goddesses bless us in our paths and life journey🙏🧡

when burning a fire , you see and hear the structure of life - colours and sounds - leaving the wood. Only some ash and soot is left behind. The minerals in the ash and the carbon in the soot will some day be woven into life again, creating structures held together by sounds and colours. To me, Yggdrasil is a picture of the structure of life.

I went to Ireland in 2016, before I actively started practicing paganism. I knew I wanted to travel, but I don’t know why I chose to go to Ireland first. I’ve been dreaming of trips to Tokyo and Egypt since I could write, yet given the chance, I went to Ireland. . Yet, while I was there, I felt such an intense sense of belonging and longing that it convinced me that reincarnation is real.

Pagan god are accessible, they have problems and triumphs. All representations of life, nature and human consciousness. Great path to follow. Beware abrahamic intervention in the pagan paths.

You don't find heathen path, heathen path finds you

Im a Norse pagan who lives on an Scandinavian island which is full of relics from both the Viking Age and the middevle age. So I strongly recommend going here if you are interested in Norse paganism. The island is called Gotland and is located in Sweden .

As an ethnic Chinese living in Singapore I honour Odin and Lugh from Their respective traditions alongside the existing ones in my country. The Gods do not care of what we identify as in this life for it is not what our race, sexuality etc. that matters, but our thoughts, speech and actions that matter.

"Celtic" was a a really common cultural/religious phenomenal across Europe. The Celts spanned what later became France and Germany.

Are... Are your books sorted by colour? :O

She's easy to listen to well spoken & educated in the topics she's expressing 🌸

This came at the perfect time, I've been trying to figure out which path my ancestors might have followed. We come from Switzerland/Germany and these are the two that have come up as possibly being practiced in that area.

I chose Anglo Saxon paganism because as someone of English background, an English speaker, and culturally similar I ultimately had way more in common with it. The similarities make it easier to understand, relate to, and adopt.

I love this! I like to take a cue from my ancestors who were from Germany, Scandinavia, Ireland, and Scotland. So I practice a combination of Norse and Celtic paganism. Personally I’m more of a solitary practitioner but I found both paths combine well together. Historically because of Viking conquests in Ireland and Scotland, this blending of traditions most certainly occurred in the past as well

I know I’m almost a year late but you forgot about the Scottish! My father is fully Scottish and my clan has Celtic ancestry. Doing my research it’s just really tiring hearing the Irish get all the credit and us scots are completely forgotten about. It makes it increasingly more difficult for me because we do have a lot of the same deities but they’re pronounced differently in gàidhlig.

I usually suggest for someone interested in Norse Heathenism a few things...1. Grab and read as many books as possible. Its a lot of self learning. 2. Be prepared to transition to a more holistic natural life style. 3. There are many gods and its ok to have many favorites. They all affect you differently. 4. Not everyone goes to Valhalla. Most of us join Freya in her hall or the hall of the dead with Hel... as Valhalla is reserved for Odin's choice souls. 5. Once you've learned lots and have had some spiritual moments I suggest seeking out a community to join. It can change your life.

I am a proud Norse pagan. Been brought up as Norse pagan and love it.

I'm Irish, and I'm really interested in Irish folklore and culture and paganism sounds really cool. My dad is an atheist and my mum's family are all Catholic, so I was raised Catholic and I'm not really sure if I want to be a pagan yet, but this video was super helpful!!

I would honestly recommend to look at your heritage and see what calls to you the most. Ancestor worship is a big part of paganism.

Perfect introduction, looking forward to some more deep dives on the different paths!

I've always been seen by myself and others as a non-spiritual person but in the isolation of social distancing I have found myself very interested in Celtic and Norse paganism. It turns out my ancestors are from Great Britain and North Germany so their pre-Christian faiths were probably Norse and Celtic, and maybe that's why I felt a connection with them. Thank you for posting :)

Nice Video 😉 I am both, Celtic/Germanic Pagan. Actually I don't find it absolutely necessary nowadays to restrict oneself to just one & only to have to decide on a single pagan belief. One should not forget that these two peoples have mingled over time, the Germanic tribes and the Celts. that is why there are so many parallels in terms of these beliefs. The Germanic tribes were the neighbors of the Celts and lived to the right of the Rhine. not a great distance. Even before the influence of the Romans, both peoples had celebrated the same festivals after the festivals of the year. I am Swiss German and am proud of my Alemannic blood, but the Celts are also my ancestors. When the Alemannic Germanics invaded Switzerland in the third century AD, the Celts and the Alemanni in German-speaking Switzerland mingled and settled, built houses and settlements. Today's Swiss-German are a mixture of the Celtic Helvetians and the Germanic Alemanni. The Alemanni belonged to the West-Germanic culture. Our current Swiss German dialects are a West Germanic language variety. At that time there was a dividing line from north to south from the Roman-speaking areas, today's south and south-west swiss still have Roman blood. you see that the further south you go. Peace & Love to my Germanic & Celtic Brothers & Sisters and ALL Good Humans 🤝🏼.

I love how the bookshelves are organized by color 😍

I never once thought of being a pagan. Of course, I knew stories, I watched shows and such where I saw things.I always pondered on those times, but this time was different. At 14 years old a thought just popped into my head, and I felt inside of me that I needed to be a pagan. I felt trapped in Christianity and wasn't happy. Now I am learning, a little nervous, but happier. I feel like I will become a better person through this all. I keep hearing you don't choose to be a pagan, the gods choose you. Do not mistake my age for how mature I am. Only time will tell if I made the best choice.

I am very connected to the Celtic tradition, thanks for putting this video together 💛

Informative and engaging as always, Scarlet!

Wonderful overview and tips in this 👏👏👏 even though I do not practice with deities, I do follow the Celtic traditions and folklore of my area, which have crossed over in so many rural traditions and survive even today. In the region, I live there are many really fascinating historic Celtic sites, that I love to visit for meditation or nature rituals :)

Heck, even if you don't plan on practicing New-Norse Paganism, I'd recommend reading the Havamal. Has some really good life tips.

Thanks for filming this and sharing this information. I have been interested in both Norse and Celtic, but this video has helped sway me towards learning more about the Celtic path.

I've been practicing for the past year and a half and I recently began being interested in Celtic paganism. My ancestors are from Ireland and I've recently gained a deep connection with my culture and how I can relate it to my practice. Thank you for the wonderful video!

Another great video! Personally, I believe the 2 are connected. I believe the Tuatha de Danann are the same as the elves of Norse paganism- a 3rd tribe of gods. Alfar, Albion, and Alba all come from the same proto Indo-European root meaning "white." So while I prefer some Celtic deities and myths, and the Dagda is my main patron, I believe in the Norse cosmology and also follow other Norse gods and goddesses.

Celtic paganism resonates with me mainly because of my heritage (I have English, Irish and Scottish ancestry). And the beliefs about family, honour and tradition really stick with me. I'm just starting my research into celtic paganism.

Love your channel! Thank you for creating such consistently good content!

Love that you have Jackson Crawford’s books. “The Wanderers’ Hávamál” is my favorite. Thanks for a great video

Thank you for this video! I was just thinking about this

A starting point for Celtic Pæganism is a book by Louis L'amour called The Walking Drum. I'm not sure what you'll get out of it, but his main character is a Celtic Pægan and in his adventures, his ability to remember becomes an integral character in itself.

Really enjoyed this video!! Please do more like this! 😊

Newly on this spiritual journey, but I am excited to learn about Celtic Paganism. I'm also striving to learn about what it means to be a Celtic Pagan located in North America. Like you included in your video, the deities my paganism connects with are far away and the spirits of the land here in PA are the ones I have to learn to honor and relate with on a daily basis. I'm bingeing all your content and I'm learning so much, thank you!

Although I love Celtic culture, particularly with how it relates to Boudica, my mother's family came mostly from Sweden, and the path of Norse paganism resonates most with me. I'm proudly wearing one of several pendants of Mjolnir I have at this very moment. I want so much to see Sweden before I die, and although I'm young at almost thirty one, I don't see that happening. I live in New Mexico, have a low income job, and the chances of me traveling to Europe are astronomical. Still, both Celtic and Norse culture will always be important to me no matter whether or not I ever get to see my people's home.

If you guys are not familiar with "Robert Sepher" of "Atlantian Gardens" I suggest you look him up. He is an independent Anthropologist.

Norse pagan here! Enjoyed your video. Looking forward to going back and watching older videos and the videos that are yet to come.

Thank you for making this video! I have Norwegian roots, so this was very fascinating!

I've always considered myself as an eclectic pagan/shaman... But I have a deep longing to belong to a specific path. I don't know what my soul wants though ! I am absolutely obsessed with norse mythology and the Scandinavian culture (maternal Danish and Irish) ...but I don't believe in the idealogy of multiple gods and goddesses, rather than a one source, that interconnects and weaves everything, that has had many names ...and many faces...but is truly just one Creator energy.

I would love an episode on runes. I have recently purchased a book on runes. I am currently studying the celtic path as I too am of celtic and Norwegian Ancestry

Great video Scarlet, thanks

Wow that was really fast! I have some knowledge of these two and you def move fast! I have been checking out different pantheons lately and really like your approach !

Thank you for this, my bloodlines are both so I try mixing it up and doing both. My family are all religious now, so I've really had to dig deep and go back as far back as I could to lean. I'm still learning.

I recently learned of my Irish linage and, having been a secular witch for over a year, I’ve decided to look into Celtic (particular Irish) paganism

Thank you so Much! :) subscribed! 💖✨

Thank you sister for this great lil video...

"Which pagan path is best for you?" Starting by looking into your own roots and ancestry is the most authentic and honest thing to do.

I like the way alot of deep research has been simplified and clarified here - great work

Really good video that touches on as much of known lore as can be. Speaking as a Norse Pagan myself. Well done.

Thank you so much for this informative video. I have recently wanted to get back into the craft through my ancestors, which were mainly Celtic and Norse. Thank you!

I’m not religious myself but I’m fascinated by religions of different cultures, and this is was a really well made video thank you

My books are mainly on Norse and Celtic Paganism. 4 of them I got from my local Scandinavian Shop: The Book of the Viking Myths by Peter Archer, The Vikings a History by Robert Ferguson, The Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, and Finally the Biggest Book Norse Myths Tales of Odin, Thor, and Loki by Kevin Crossley-Holland illustrated by Jeffrey Alan Love. I do want to recommend you guys to check out your local Scandinavian Shop you might be able to find books on Norse Paganism there or can get them in. At the shop, I go to I thank the owner for having Norse Myths by Neil Gaiman in, and we got talking I show her another book that I have and currently reading and we got talking about Norse Paganism and how hard it is to get books on them in our area at the shops and with the town that's the store is which was settled by the Scandinavians. She told me that she will look into getting more books about Norse Paganism. The areas surround the town also have Heavy German and Scandinavian influence.

Thank you for getting it right in refrence to Norse Paganism. ❤

Thankyou for the video, very informative.

Being a Pagan Reconstructionalist instead of a neo-Pagan, my beliefs there is your path has to be tied with your blood in order for your practice and connection with the earth and universe to be the strongest. Hence, with me, blood wise I’m 100% Celtic. Most from Scotland, some in Ireland and Brittany. As a Celtic Pagan, I can confirm that learning about the traditions, the deities, stories and other entities, isn’t impossible but about the most difficult Pagan path when it comes to finding that knowledge. But, to me personally it has saved my life and kept me much calmer than any other religion I’ve tried.

Which path is best for you? Well what calls to you? Study different paths, see what calls to you, and start there.

Great content for both topics.

Great video. Thanks!

I have a BIG question. I’m pretty positive I have no Irish/Celtic in me, but I have a deep interest in the Celtic religion. Would it be okay if I followed Celtic Paganism, or is it considered a closed practice? I just don’t want to disrespect any religion. I did a little research and it says that it is an open practice but I just want some others opinions!

I am an ex catholic who found my way to the Nordic gods. My path started with issues I had with Catholicism and it was a long journey.

Great video, thank you!

Thank you for this video!! 🥰🥰 This is the first one where I've had actual information about this two culture (even more for celtic! I can't fin anything!!) Antway thank you Now I'm more lost then ever cause both resonate with me ToT but now I'm even more curious :D

I kinda whish that you would've mentioned other areas of heathenry such as anglo-saxon paganism and continental germanic paganism

Thank you for this video and everything ! I have always had a great interest in mythology, after finding Norse paganism it feels like life has a purpose. I seem pulled towards Odin and Loki more than other gods. Celtic gods I haven’t done much reading on but it looks like a fun ride that will fill my interest of old things and old ways

Thank you for the help!

I'm an eclectic style pagan who has Loki as a patron and Morrigan as my matron. Each gives me guidance in a different area of my life. I'm very grateful to have been blessed in that way.

I'm a descendant of the Nervii, one of the strongest tribes in Belgae (current Belgium). This discovery was one of the coolest things i ever found out. there are just two things that are sad now, one i was raised catholic (yet they failed) and i f*cking live in Belgium the country with a gouvernement who nobody likes. time to go back in time

I think it is important to consider the similarities between known Celtic practice and belief and the Vedic beliefs of the Hindu. The threads perhaps show a root connection in the Indo-European people. I say this because in my experience Celtic Paganism transcends ancestral bounds of just the Welsh, Irish or Britains.

I will not lie that both resonate with me! I guess I'm just gonna have to do some more homework into both of them. Thank you very much for sharing the list of books that I will have to check out! Thank you for the great video! (p.s. I am just starting to seriously think about looking into paganism. On that note are there any videos on your channel that you recommend I should check out as a new viewer and subscriber?)

thank you for this video, great explanation of the 2 and the differences, I'm leaning more towards Eclectic so I tend to use things from both, my main practice is to honor and celebrate nature

I’m a Russian living in Germany and brought up strictly Christian. I feel more drawn to paganism and the non-monotheistic old religions, but it’s hard for me to discover more about it because I still suffer from the religious guilt taught to me as a kid by my church/parents. Even tho I don’t believe in Christianity anymore after reading the bible cover to cover, it feels like a crime to consider developing a different faith. Are there books on different kinds of paganism that anyone can recommend?

I'm eclectic but draw heavily from Celtic and Norse. The mistake a lot of people think is that if they commit to a path, that's it. but you can alter and change as your knowledge grows. The celts also survive strongly in folklore in regions like Ireland, scotland and wales and brittany in France.

Best intro vid I've seen on the topic... And I've watched quite a few

Which microphone do you use? The sound is perfect!

European Paganism all have its roots from the same tree.

I wish we had more literature from the ancient Norsemen themselves instead of translations by Christian monks etc

I love you book shelf 🥰

Well crafted video! I noticed you've done some videos on hellenism and wicca, so I'm wondering if you are maybe planning on giving quick intros into the pagan paths you listed in the beginning of the video? If so I look forward to seeing your slavic paganism video. I've been trying to find sources to study on this but so far all I've found is a reddit community. But dont mind me, I'm just going to go binge a bunch of your videos now!

What I suspect what makes you connect to a path is where you are born. I'm black but I feel more of a connection to the Norse path I suspect that this is because I was born in England which is named after the Anglo-Saxons. If I was born in Ireland I supect that I would feel more of a connection with the Celtic path. Also bare in mind with the Norse path it's not just Havamal or The Poetic Eddas but you can get a lot of information just reading the sags and it's also good to pick up history books. You have to a do a lot of reading and research. I also think the Poetic Eddas is a bit dodgey because I think that Snorri put his own Christian prejuidices into the story so you have to do more reading and analyze the text further. I actually think there is actually a lot of information.

Norse pagan Heathen Hail Odin Allfather

Thank you, I always felt drawn to aspects of paganism, and now I know why and that is because I was descended from a place where it originated!

I have close Norwegian ancestry and have always felt a close connection to that part of my heritage. I recently started reading the norse pagan practice and their philosophy really seems to reaonate with me. I wouldn't say I follow that path quite yet, but am definitely on my journey toward it.

i'm more scottish/irish than scandinavian so have always felt a stronger ancestral connection to the celts and their beliefs

you make it sound like picking out a wardrobe.

Just subbed I like the idea of finding out more about the spiritual world. I'm into shamanism american indian and african. And my wife is native Alaskan and she follows that path . peace ✌️ from Stan the Alaskan.

Glad that you referenced Jackson Crawford!

English people are half Celtic-half Germanic so it’s hard to differentiate who to look back on, or do you just lump 2 very different people together???

I lean forwards Celtic (and Slavic) paganism due to my roots.

thank you for your wisdom

Hi and thanks for your informative videos. I am wondering if runes were used inCeltic Paganism, or do they belong mostly to Norse? Thank you

Pagan religions are tribal religions. Athena was the godess of the city of Athen. The Gods of pagan cults was there to protect and defend THEIR people against the other ones. I think that the best pagan religion for you is the religion of YOUR ancestral people. If you are Celt, you will be probably being better in pagan celtics religions, and so on.

I have a Celtic back ground and Norse so I place them together

Nice! Good job! Blessed Be✌🌟

I love both paths so much!
