Do you have Patreon?

Thank you Arith for making these videos. I have much connection to the Vanir. It's a treat for me to watch your work.

As an Icelander names Freyr, i feel i have alot in common with the strengths and weaknesses of the goð himself. Good videó, my freind! Thank you

Thank you Arith for making such entertaining and informative videos. You have a gift for storytelling and of bringing the ways of our our ancestors to life, and I always look forward to listening to you.

In Scandinavian folklore, Mares and Werewolves were created if a woman used magic to ease birth. Mares if they were Female, and Werewolves if they were Male. Clever way to dissuade Freyja’s magical practice.

Glad that you're around, so much information you give us :)

I am so sad when I see how small your audience is. You should create Patreon profile, some of us would like to support your amazing work. Also you look like a cute puppy!

I could listen to you talk for days . Thank you for sharing your knowledge .. xxx

I really, really enjoyed your lecture. For many years I feel a deep connection with Freyja and Freyr. Objects and runic inscriptions that refer to their worship were found near the village of Wijnaldum, once an early medieval central place where a part of my ancestors came from. Maybe it's why they feel so formiliar to me. Any new perspective or information on them is welcome. In the excavations in the early nineties there, cremation remains showed that some women were cremated with (water)birds (at least their wings). Also cauri shells turn up (lausnar steinar?) Curious if you also see a link with burial rituals in Sweden and the cult of Freyja. Thsnk you for still sharing precious information Arith. Tige tank!

Thank you, your videos are very informative!

I just discovered your channel and i really look forward to keep watching your videos as im quite keen on learning norse folklore

Recently found your channel and love it, would love to see a video on Thor. Keep up the good work, brother!

Parabéns continua, investe no Patreon, os teus fiéis subscritores merecem todo o teu empenho em passar a mensagem!

Very enjoyable thank you for sharing

What a wealth of information. Thanks.

Your videos are wonderful and very informative. I wonder, have you come across the term "Fylgja" in your studies and if so would you consider making a video? Thank you again for dedicating your time to making these videos they bring much information and joy to those of us who love to learn.

Thank you Arith!! /Linda from Frösön

Is there more information on the practices of the cult of Freyr? I've heard many stories, but can find so little evidence to back up the claims...

Please make a video about Northern and Viking tattoo and symbols

another great vid, glad to have found this channel. as I commented on another video, some people from Norway went to Sweden to form Jämtland. Here is also Frösön - Frej's Island. On this island there is a church, and ofc archeologist have found a stump of a tree under this church, with lots and lots of offerings around it. But as you point out in the video, the Jämt's were not that easily converted, as this text shows; "In the beginning of the Christian doctrine's entry into the village, Norrviksborne were very wicked, why the priest in the town vehemently reproached them for their evil. In anger over the Norrviks, in agreement with the inhabitants of Sörviken (Grönviken's), took the priest and rowed him out to a large, over. water-raising stone, in the middle of the lake between Norrviken and Sörviken, which today is called the Prieststone, put the priest on the stone and left him there, the intention was to let him starve to death. [1] But the priest was swimmersome and swam ashore at Monäset (previously also called "Mordnäset"). [1] The Norrvik residents, however, had been alerted to him, and fit him at the beach where they killed him. For this reason, the village was forever carrying the nasty name Mordviken". The only proper way to treat a christian, really... Sad really, what could have been instead of some magical desert god taking hold of our minds. all because of greed.

Thx Arith

I love your videos. They make me really happy and I love to learn new things. Although it’s almost ironic to me that today you talk about gods of fertility and peace because I just got news that 6 of my dad’s puppies have died. Freya takes good care of cats. I hope she does the same for puppies too.

Hail Yngvi-Freyr! Hail Freyja, Lady of the Vanir!

Gosto muito dos vídeos Acho que já falei uma vez aqui, tenho bastante devoção a Freyr, considero ele minha divindade principal, seguido depois de Thor e Odin. Eu tava tentando conciliar o culto desses três e você me deu uma boa dica.

out in the grove with friggin freyja, riding the boar is never boring. your insights are out of sight. thank yew arith. enjoyed. gare

I like your videos, you must be well read! Any reccomendations for books to pick up? I'm a Folkish Asatruar in Vinland and trying to build up my own library. :)

In Britain I don't think that the horse was sacrificed as the animal was reveered by the ancient Britons. There are still "White Horses", figures of horses carved out of the turf on chalky hillsides in the countryside. Arith when you say plough please say it as plow, to rhyme with now. We have some strange variations in our pronunciation that can be confusing.

Gratidão 🤘🤘🤘🔥💜💜

We need some peace and prosperity right now, Hail The Vanir!

I imagine Freyja has a chariot pulled by Sabre Tooth tigers. I just can't believe that it is pulled by house cats.

Both me and many that i know (that are Heathen) here in Sweden call what we do ”Forn Sidr”. It also often incorporates ancestors, vättar, elves etc. Some of those i know are also academics and two are collegues of yours. Your videos are the ones that most sounds like my own understanding and practice. Tack för välgjorda videor!

um grande abraço do Brasil!

I can learn a lot from you

Hey friend, and your channel is very good, I'm from Brazil, but unfortunately I'm not totally fluent in english yet, but I have seen that some of your videos are with subtitles in Portuguese, so if you can always put the subtitles in Portuguese too, it will be of great help. Heil, my friend.

thanks very good information, thanks for enabling the subtitles in Spanish

Você deveria legendar seus vídeos em português, e aí iria conseguir atingir um público maior, e um público carente de informação de qualidade, que é o brasileiro.

No wonder the kings went for the Christianity first - they would not have to worry about becoming a human sacrifice.

You always look very handsome and put together ❤😊

Who lived in Scandinavia before Germanic people came? France had Gauls before Franks, Briton had Britons before Anglo Saxons, but I've never heard of any pre Germanic Scandinavian people. Might the Vanir been the gods of the pre Germanics and the Asir were the Norse version of Germanic gods?

Went to Freyja School [🇸🇪 Frejaskolan, 6 years], after Framnäs [🇸🇪 ] School [3 years, not sure how to interpret «Fram» into 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, may be something like Freyr’s Isthmus’ School, at least it makes sense geographically, the closest smallholding is Freyr’s Isthmus [🇸🇪Frönäs], some of my closest ancestors are buried very close in the soil at the cemetery around Frustuna [🇸🇪] kyrka [🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Freyr’s Smallholding’s /Smallholders’ Church [where I was christened etc.] Everything in Gnesta Municipality by Lake Freyr/Freyr’s Lake [🇸🇪 Frösjön], quite far from the old Svea Kingdoms Centres Uppsala and Västerås/Västra Aros[🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿West Aros]. Obviously several of the modern 🇸🇪 names ⬆️ in Gnesta - more or less - at least linguistically, are quite closely connected to the Freyja and Freyr cults - so I’m also like connected to some of its mycelia. Great vid. Thanks 🙏 👍🏻💕

Freyr is head of my hearth cult, and I'm always glad to hear more about him!

I found it interesting that, while Freyr was buried at Uppsala, Sweden remained safe. This has an English parallel in the burial of the head of Bran and (I believe I am correct in this), later, the protective burial of Arthur. They watched over that land as did Freyr. However, wasn't it a bit strange thinking their God was actually buried there? Or was it symbolic, like the Eucharist?

I didn’t know Thor was considered the god of the English? Could I ask where you read that? Not criticising, great video again. Keep up the great work, you’ll get more subscribers

The kings and queens were considered to be incarnations of the gods [avatars], or at the very least were considered to be holy/heiliger. The titles waned and grew depending on the gods and people at the time, but the gods exist outside of the rulership. Please be more apt on the religious aspects rather than the informational aspects; if you could combine the two, that'd make for a great info piece.

One of the saddest things is knowing that Sweden once fought to retain their culture and roots being the last to do so against an invading hateful force..familiar? Keep spreading the truth about the heart and soul of our roots Arith and when I get to build that Viking village you will be the first guest speaker, there will be no animal sacrifice allowed though, so bring plenty of mead with you! Hail!

:)

Pagans worship them.. does that make them part of the cult.. I haven’t watched the video yet

Gotar.

Frey & Freya weren't children of Odin... interesting talk though..

Geatish God Ing,boar god.

Isn't Tyr the original chief God of the ancient Norse ?

Why is it a Cult? Wasnt it our religion pre murderous Christianity

Why Christian’s-catholic can’t show what a beautiful woman and sex lovemaking a good thing? ❤❤

ah jijo sorry i dont speak english bye jejejeje
