This would mean Grey-Wind's head being sewn onto Robb Stark's body in mockery of a fallen king is foreshadowing for Jon's merging with Ghost, ascending into demi-godhood. Robb can be the Lord of Winterfell but Jon will be Lord of Winter.

I just loved this series on Odin , there is literally nothing like it on KZfaq , thank you

It’s at a point where I want Jon to do all the things because the show shut him down so hard at the end . I need lightbringer in his hands, I need rhaegal as his steed, I’m talkin full wolfman personality, badass resurrection and revenge sequence, king of the north, a dozen legendary green knights for him to lead into the heart of winter, and a duel between he and the night king for the fate of mankind. I want the true shamanistic warrior who walks away from it all and wanders like a nomad when his work is finished.

“You know nothing, Odin.” “Would an eye change that?”

Jon going full-on berserker and accidentally killing someone makes more sense than Dany becoming a Mad Queen.

Re: Jon's superstrength - did I miss mention of the scene when Jon lifts Alliser Thorne off the floor by the throat? From ASOS 2, quote: "My lord is wise." Ser Alliser seized Jon by the arm. Jon yanked away and grabbed the knight by the throat with such ferocity that he lifted him off the floor." Apologies to LML if this was cited, I was tired from work listening to the pod cast, so I may have missed it, but I thought that one was quite significant, I find it incredible that there are folks out there still arguing that Jon is not Azor Ahai & isn't a Targaryen heir. Another detail that is lost in the fandom, re: Jon's eventual resurrection - this will be Azhor Ahai's rebirth in "salt & smoke", I've noticed many fans confused about salt & smoke & where the salt will come from in Jon's resurrection. Well salt & smoke means "blood & fire", or, if you prefer, fire & blood. So in Targ parlance, it is Azhor Ahai will be reborn in fire & blood. Somewhere in the books, there is a reference for salt being a metaphor for blood, if anyone is really interested, I'll find exactly where that reference is. But I think that is significant, because it is not difficult to see how at the Wall, with what is going on there, how Jon will be resurrected in fire & blood.

My favourite part about Jon trying to kill Alliser in the books is that he was so damn quick, Thorne couldn't have stopped him. It was only his friends reacting fast enough and with all of them that stopped Jon. In the show they get him immediately, and despite that Thorne could have defended himself from his position.

This. This is what I like to see after I get home from work. I'm ready for this

Craster has the same reaction as jon, when one of the garths calls him bastard. He jumps on the table yielding his new axe

This Ye's odin lore is so fire. Shout out to that Gwent card representing the bezerker.

Dude, you should write a book on all of these Mythological influences in ASOIAF. Your takes on it are refreshing and honestly you can just put all your research notes into some binding and I'd buy it!

I liked the video the instant you made the flapping birds with your hands. Love your work lml, cheers from Brazil

Jon's hair going white would make him like Elric of Melnibone, but also like Simon of Memory, Sorrow & Thorn, or "Snowlock" as he is dubbed when a lock of his hair turns white. Simon also has dead parents (mom in childbirth), a dwarfish companion, a claim to the throne, has visions with birds and wolves, etc. All these likenesses are clearly deliberate on George Martin's part.

Gosh I love comparing Jon to Odin. So much to consider. Love the dissolve in the beginning of the video.

A very interesting Video! My first Idea of Lady Stoneheart was actually that she is a reference to Hel, and the Brotherhood without Banners ar the "wilde Jagd" (the wild hunt), a concept about Hel and her companions riding through the stormy nights between Christmas and New Year. And Brienne as a form of transitioning Frigga, as she is opposite of Hel.

So I noticed a couple things worth pointing out. 1) Draugr if you look up the etymology means deceiver. And if you look up the etymology of Dragon, it means serpent, of course, but in Greek, serpent means deceiver. So Draugr, meaning battle revenant is quite similar to Dragon. 2) Fun fact: Heimdallr, the original watcher on the wall, was "born of nine mothers, too. So, another case of the number nine. 3) This is from the show, but I always thought it was cool that Sansa stands in her black bird feather cloak on the battleground outside Winterfell choosing Ramsey as the slain. She says something like "You will die here, tonight" to him. And if something similar happens in the books, perhaps it will be fake Arya, Jeyne Pool, saying it to him, instead. Not that anyone wants Ramsey to wind up in Valhalla, but still an interesting parallel to Norse Myth. Lastly, I really enjoyed this one, or three actually. Good content. Can't wait for the Arya video.

This was the most perfect kind of trip - my fav so far 🤩 The astral projection was a brilliant theme. 💫 I still see Jon as the Death card…

I’m not Garth’ed enough for this yet.. I’ll rewatch the Old Ones and return in a cloud of smoke (& salty snacks) 💨 Edit: Ok I’m back.. that was so awesome my dude!! Good work on all of these Norse videos 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 I still think that dark idea of Jon wearing Ghost’s fur as a cloak after he’s resurrected would be badass lol I don’t want Ghost to be burnt in a fire by Mel.. But if he was sacrificed with LongClaw and his spirit goes into the sword during the ritual to bring back Jon.

I don’t know much about Norse mythology, but just like with your Vedic origins video, you explain it all very simply and help me understand! Thank you!!!

Odin's ravens going out each morning makes me think of Arya bringing info to the House of Black and White. -Also lol to "astral projection insubstantiality pun"!

Yesss what an amazing birthday gift! Thanks LmL haha

Excellent work, how it all fits, with Odin ... Bran and Jon. Perfect

I can't remember the last time I got notified that you'd uploaded a video or went live, and I'm subscribed to receive all notifications.

Fascinating stuff about Jon going berserk and fighting in a fury. Makes me think that after he will win the battle for the Dawn, people will be scared of him, and what he can do in a rage (possibly killing Dany?) and that's why he will go beyond the wall for his eternal ranging.

Thanks for doing this miniseries. Theres clearly alot going on here from George. Great work breaking down the wolf and bear subspirit identities from the Northmen. Excited to hear more about Arya as Valkyria too (Possibly Freja). Also yes I will (Weirwolf Jon).

You may already knw this, but on the off chance that you don't... The Tower of London's mated and breeding pair of ravens are named Huginn and Muninn

top tier as always

The perfect way to end my Friday!

This came out at the perfect time 👀

1620 on a Friday, perfect time to start this video!

I've loved this series of Odin, just loved it.

God damnit, just realized the long winter is also a sign of Ragnarok. Norse mythology really does permeate ASOIAF. In LML relevant news, the norse fimbul winter is hypothesized to be a mythologised memory of a winter lasting several years brought on by ash thrown up by a volcano. How's that for ice and fire?

Been waiting for this one. Praise Garth.

Please never apologize for reading long quotes. I love it!!!

8:16 Skyrim features Draugr. They are undead and have bright blue glowing eyes which is pretty spot on to ASOIAF wights.

Never clicked so fast!

I think it's pretty cool how, even if one knows not a single thing of Odin or Norse mythology, one can still notice the symbolic importance of the one-eye symbolism running throughout the story. Before I even started reading the books or watching your channel I noticed how Tyrion, Jon, Bloodraven, etc. have one-eye symbolism and how this might pertain to their role in the endgame.

This makes my weekend a lot happier

Collaboration between LmL and Dr. Jackson Crawford, Old Norse Specialist? Just imagine the vibes. Þórr vigi

Poetic inspiration and battle fury? Sounds like Odinn would be a fan of mosh-pits. Also, the Swedish word for wolf, varg, is actually a noa-name, i.e a word replacement used out of fear of the true name. It was believed that if you used its true name, ulv (which shares the same linguistic roots as the English word wolf) then the wolf would come for you. Your videos are awesome LmL and it's amazing to find new meaning in all these myths and asoiaf.

Thank you like always! It's the perfect video for a Saturday morning late breakfast. Greetings from Germany and keep the good work up 😌

I got an ad for Netflix's Lucifer for this video lol.

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 LML!🙋🏼‍♀️😀I’m a few streams behind but it’s ok, that stream was an excellent one, as usual, thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing and I will continue to watch all your videos because you’re good and super interesting and because I love the World of Ice 🧊 and Fire 🔥 a lot! Merci Beaucoup LML 😃😁😉😎

Another Valyrian steel inspiration actually comes from the east (similar to the location of Valyria on Planetos), that being Damascus steel. The look of Valyrian steel was even inspired by this example (many folds in steel).

You might enjoy looking into the mythos of Heimdalr, he's definitely sprinkled throughout the story & The Night's Watch as an organization is somewhat analogous to his character & part in Ragnarok/Norse Mythology. But he is also somewhat amalgamated with Odin into Bloodraven, Bran & especially John. ( He could see the furthest into time & space & was Loki's sworn enemy. He was The Watcher, The Guardian of The Rainbow Bridge & Asgard. He possessed a special sword, was born of 9 mothers, was also known as The White One &blew his horn to signal the beginning of Ragnarok, ) Definitely worth looking into :)

Excellent stuff as always! Never a disappointment when LML starts connecting the dots.

So... potentially Jon the wolf escaping the fetters of death could lead to the apocalyptic long night? Huh... does ring a bell ;)

Now THAT'S a beard!

Great Vid, LML! All this talk about Bloodraven's, ever watchful, ever observing, (with malice??) Red eye.. Well, I can't stop thinking of "The Eye of Sauron" now!. When You were discussing Bloodraven.. (and His one, Red eye). I think 8O/90% of the BR dialogue wouldn't of been out of place in an essay about Sauron. I've even reverted back to thinking Bloodraven is a wee marrionette (Well, 'ol BR Is made of wood) of the "Great Other.. again! :)

shiiiit that intro got my hypeee

These are by far one of the best series so far I love them sm !!

If there’s any KZfaqr who deserves more subscribers, it is you. Love your enlightening streams as well as your humorous hosting. Truly legendary🙌🏻

I kinda like the idea that Jon snow create a new era heroes and legends in this alternate timeline , but the question is who will be His wife and mother of Thor also does it mean that this Loki would be a ice walker ?

YAY! This was well worth the wait!

i love the one eyed king shirt, so damn appropriate

Re: the Crown of Winter - the Nine of Swords seems to have a lot to do with violent deception.

Great video LML, I find this concept of anger as a “drug” very fascinating. I can tell you that I’ve seen people do damn near inhuman things in fits of rage, I think this cultivation of anger and adrenaline into a altered state is something that would be very powerful for somebody in battle or facing life threatening situations. Is this what you are talking about with this “berserker state”?

The effort you've been putting into these really shows, man. Awesome series overall, I'm stoked about how much I've been learning about norse mythology. I've noticed you frequently reference your older videos and podcasts with ideas you've already presented.. one question: have you thought about creating some sort of index that one might use to easily find your older ideas? Might be too much work tho

every time i watch one of your vids im absolutely amazed by your attention to detail and depth of analysis, every time i think you cant top it, and every time you blow me tf away!! have loved this odin series dude

What a great series it's been. Obviously, there was a lot put into their creation. Enjoyed the ride, and learned a lot I didn't know along the way! Thanks, David, always looking forward to what's next. 👀

Great depth as always LmL

You're freaking amazing, LML, as always 👏

That beard is glorious

awesome video man, all the artwork was dope too!

Good thing I've been making my way through the weirwood compendium at night so I feel like I'm turning up ready for class

In deep geek reference! I miss your duo live streams

BLOOD AND SOULS FOR MY LORD ARIOCH

Wait you're telling me Bugs Bunny lied to me about horned helms?!? 🤯🤯🥳

Really liked this one, I don't know why but the supernatural elements of Jon are awesome and a real stand out in the series for me. There was also the scene where Jon flees the Wildlings where he somehow mounts his horse by jumping on it injured and he has no recollection of achieving this

I've been watching the animated series on Netflix, Castlevania lately. And when u mentioned white haired, red-eyed heroes, I remembered the son of Dracula, Alucard! He's half human, half vampire, with a magic sword and superstrength and speed! Also has to fight against his "urges", or bloodlust if u will. And tries not become like his father, etc. Son of the "Dragon"/‘the badguy’, fighting for humanity vs his own evil ancestor, evil creatures and the undead? Sounds a bit familiar, I feel! ;) (P.S: Been following u for years, and love your channel and content. Being a norwegian "viking", with finnish, sapmi and inuit roots, I love norse mythology and The song of ice and fire-books(and show)! And I especially like your take on it. Thanks for ADHD-stream too. Being a fellow "ADHD'er" I found it very interesting and enlightning. Particulary since I too was late diagnosed.)

Great video is always You should see Mr Wednesday's Odin speech in American gods, perfect representation

I enjoyed this so much. Great work David Lightbringer ❤️ Worth the wait

Have been waiting on this for a good minute. Thanks for the content brother!

Just picked up a fresh sack of Garth to sacrifice after work, great timing LML lol

Great series 😎 Jumping around the timeline of ASOIAF is standard, but having all the different LMLs from different time periods popping in at various points is next level, and kinda trippy. I’d be interested in watching a supercut of all the “added later” bits in order, and see the project grow and bloom like a blue rose in a wall of ice.

Probably fair to say the Nights Watch oaths constitute a kind of social death. These videos are great btw, I started reading the books for the second time recently and all these theories are massively enriching the experience. Very entertaining presentation style too. Big respect!

Holy shit, that intro!!!

This series is incredible! Great work lml 🙌

Nothing like starting an evening with lml.

YAAAAS It's finally here PERFECTYRION! You're the man, Ser Dave Lightbringer, m'lord Skål skål skål, år og fred ✌️💚🍺

fuck yeah i can finally watch this

just dropping a like, i will watch tomorrow gotta watch the friends reunion with my hubby Stay well!

You’re content is seriously so awesome! Thank you for all your hard work!

Running with a bit of an Elric aside - at one point, Elric is effectively dead, but his soul’s escaped his body (the Dremthief’s Daughter trilogy) and he is saved by his granddaughter (a younger family member) who has subtle magic, shape shifting, dream walking powers and deep wisdom and a character who is effectively a reincarnation/alternative universe self character who is a quiet, unassuming character with a hidden depth of steel and determination. And how will Jon come back? Well.... Why not Bran (subtle magic, shape shifting, dream walking etc etc) and Sam (hidden depths of steel and determination, in many ways a mirror of Jon) working in tandem?

Hail Mighty Odin, Allfather of the slain men of lifer's battle!

This is gonna be a good 'un!!

I don't want to detract from how awesome this video is (especially the berserker connection), but gd, LmL can seriously pull off so many different hair lengths (both head and beard)!

Oh damn the LmL Visual Effects Department started out this video strong!

Direwolves hadn't been seen south of the wall in some time when the Stark children found them. Do you think Bloodraven arranged for that to happen?

I’ve heard how hard you’ve been working on these. I love them and can’t wait for the next livestream!!

I thought I heard someone say that Odin can also see through the eyes of his ravens like he would send them out before battle to get like a lay of the land.

Thanks for the video. Fantastic as usual

worth the wait! amazing video as always!

Loved this trilogy, need to rewatch them all together. In this video, I like the parallel of Jon's berserker rage, i.e. his wolf side, with Dany's occasional rage, i.e. her dragon side. A question about Jon's resurrection: when Beric is resurrected, he loses a bit of his soul every time. But Beric didn't have an animal to park his soul in. Do you think that will make a difference with regards to this 'diminishing' that seems to happen after a resurrection?

What an excellent stream, thank you so much 🧙‍♂️

watching as we speak

So ready to watch the supercut tonight

Fantastic video !

32:50 oh god, Melisandre is going to burn down the weirwood grove for Jon's resurrection, similar to Dany's "rebirth" in Drogo's pyre right? I feel like a certain group of Folk are not going to be happy with their god being burned for sorcery. I can see Jon heading towards a Night's King path in TWoW.

Just found your channel yesterday and just thought I'd let you know that I'm loving the content that you provide
