Thank you kindly brother! It is of course nice to be appreciated. Yes Goths and Gothic language of course have a special place in our group; there will be more videos about Goths in the future. We try to be as factual as we can; however sometimes, especially when we talk of the old religion we need to combine our own experiences with facts, for one simple reason - so little is known about Gothic prechristian religion. If you (or anyone else) have a suggestion how to improve ourselves or what kind of video to do - please let us know. Also we refuse to have patreons, or make money, we do all this in honour of the old Gods, our ancestors, and our beloved mother Europe. Hails!

@@Wulthus we're a small national community. My DNA tests show strong migration period DNA.

@@TaterTot88244 Nice.

I have an important question. I am 18 years old, and I will complete my boxing path in order to gain glory, and then I will participate in the war in Russia, and then I will die on the battlefield, but does Leo understand all English and Arabic languages ​​and understand me? Odin is my god and I'm wearing a Thor's Hammer necklace

Cheers!

Thank you very much. Haila!

Thank you. We are more then glad if it works for you during your meditations!

Well, these are kind words indeed 👍. Yes Gothic as an east Germanic languages is a distant relative to modern Germanic languages. It was greatly influenced by old Saxon language. Regarding the prayers, yes we as a team use these prayers in our everyday practice. We talk to the gods exclusively in Gothic and on ocassions in reconstructed proto Germanic. Cheers!

@Krinjordr Spjót Yes, Icelandic is another interesting language, and Iceland is an interesting country. 👍

@@Wulthus In what sense it was influenced by old Saxon ? By how ? I don't understand. Thank you

@@cattubuttas4749 Well, after leaving Scandinavian peninsula (in their legends Scandza), Goths have landed in what is today Northern Poland and remained there for quite some time... their neighbours were the old Saxons. Thus, Gothic language was influenced by the old Saxon (and perhaps vice versa). Later Goths moved to the shores of the Black Sea (modern day Ukraine) and Saxons, with Angles, and Jutes, and some other minor Germanic tribes moved to and conquered modern day England.

@@Wulthus Ok, now I understand, but that was probably at an early period perhaps around the 2nd century ...(or the 4th???) The early languages were still much closer comparing to a later stage of the English or Saxon language attested in the 8th century. P.S. when is the book by Todd Krause Complete Gothic being issued ? Thanks

If it helps you in any way, that is great! Cheers!

Np.

Greetings! Thank you for the kind words. 👍, I will notify the members of our team who translate into Gothic to make a prayer to Ullr in the future. I think I heard something about videos being made with prayers to Freyja and Baldr. Cheers, and may the gods walk with you!

Hail!

Thank you. Enjoy!

Well, thank you very much 👍😁

Well, these are, indeed, more then kind words. Thank you very much.

@@Wulthus You are welcome and many Thanks from me in the U.K. 🙂

@@patriciadavison1486If you are a follower of the old Germanic gods, who knows, perhaps you might find yourself in a life situation where these prayers are useful to you! Gods respond to modern languages, but the old ones are like a sign saying you are willing to take an additional step. I am quite certain it "brings a smile to their faces" when they hear people talking to them in Gothic, Old Saxon, Old Norse, even reconstructed Proto-Germanic...

@@Wulthus What makes me really smile is that me (and all of my ancestors) live on a river estuary in Essex where the Vikings once sailed. I can only imagine the fear and terror they must have felt as they watched the long ships approach the shore from the North Sea. I was brought up in the High Church of England (with its own dubious, often cruel, and definitely dictatorial history) BUT, I have always felt more of an affinity to Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany (as though that's where I really from) so Thor, Odin and the Norse Gods and the prayers, myths and legends of the North make much more sense to me than my own 'teachings' (and I am not young now). So, I enjoy everything about Norse history and your voice, saying the prayer in the old language was truly beautiful. 😘

@@patriciadavison1486 That is an interesting personal story. You seem to be in contact with your archetypes. But then again, these archetypes live in your blood. Those who chose to live materialistic lives don't understand that blood is alive and speaks to you non-stop. Here live your ancestors all the way back to the gods themselves.

Interesting idea👍. We, in our team/group, use it for prayers, rituals etc. But also for basic communication. It would be great to actually revive it.

Thank you very much for the kind words! I had no idea these prayers would have such an effect on people. If you liked these prayer check out those we made to Thunrs and Teiws. As for the Gothic language, it is, as you probably know, the oldest attested Germanic language, and was largely responsable for reconstructing the Proto-Germanic language. That's why all the Germanic languages have many similar words with the Gothic language. However, the syntax of Gothic is quite different. Stay well, friend!

@@Wulthus And thank yóu! I remember the Codex Argentis and the language of the fourth century blew my mind as a youngster. My Frisian great-grandfather called his 'heit' (father) still 'Oate'. Still very close to Gothic 'At(t)a' after almost 17 centuries. Though Frisian is a Westgermanic language and closest cousin to English, a lot of archaic words still survive ('fûgel', 'hynst' e.g.) Hearing Gothic is reconnecting with them for me and remembering where we came from. Also, gods like Tiw(a)z, Weada(n), Thunaer and Fria were strong here as archeology, runic inscriptions and the days of the week clearly show (Tiisdei, Woansdei, Ton(g)ersdei, Freed). I will certainly check out your other prayers. Ik winskje dy lok, seine en sûnens ta!

@@MrEnaric You are right, one of the reasons why Gothic, as an east Germanic language, has many similar words with west Germanic languages is rather significant influence of the old Saxon language. Apparently Goths and the old Saxons (long before they invaded England) influenced each other alot. Then they went their separate ways...

Why not?

That is great! But most of us at our channel are not on that level, to actually speak the language. Except for our friend and associate who teaches us, but he is a "pmc" so the nature of his job requres him to travel a lot. Anyway, in the future we will try to get better at Gothic so that we may contribute even more by speaking the language. We will in the future bring prayers to Thunrs, Fraujo, Baldrs and few minor deities in Gothic so check it out. If you have any suggestions please let us know. As practicing followers of the old Germanic gods we welcome oppinions from like minded people. Best wishes!

@@Wulthus Don't give up! The old religion and language are worth bringing back! :3

Danke schoen :)

Awiliudo thus, frijond meins! Hails Allfadar!

Well, thank you. These prayers from this video are but blue prints, and if we were helpful in any way, our goal has been reached. 👍.

@@Wulthus Do you have blueprints to prayers for Thor for example...I've been writing but I cant get the oompf factor where it feel thunderous and lively

Take an umbrella.

I need thunder lighting bolt to hit steel. Hoooooow can I do it in precise location magical sorcery?

@@dhickey86 You need different deity... However, if you are seeing gods through the prism of such an extreme selfishness "I need (gods to do this and that) ...", and if that something you need is so prosaic as magical sorcery (lightning bolt hitting steel) then you are much better just watching Marvel blockbusters... and leaving the Germanic gods altogether. I am affraid that prayers you can find here, in this channel, go for something else. We like to believe, and it is our goal and hope, they reach deeper into the essence of both gods and humans, also both on a physical and metaphysical level. Mechanically reciting prayers or reciting them for the most basic needs is like talking under water. To properly say a prayer, so that the entities we refer to as gods hear them, and listen to them... even the shortest prayers, which are often the most powerful, requires mental (and physical) strength, healthy fear and true respect of the gods. If you want "magical sorcery" then you better find something else. How you came up with "magical sorcery" is beyond me🤔.

I'm a real life viking what do you mean choose another "DIETY"? I worship Odin for years, my friend have died for Odin. I'm asking for guidance this isn't a gams.

Don't you see what is happening in this world???? Wars repeating, the evil. Comic books? Do you think I'm a kid??

Is that a question for us? Or a statement?

Danke sehr 👍

Hi. Just a fantasy wallpaper of a druid.

@@Wulthus Ok, tusen takk!

They aren't historical, since very few of the prayers are, but come from our experience. However, when we made the video, it was more about the Gothic language, as such, then about the religious practice; but certain amount of people seem to haveliked them, and started using them as their own, in their everyday practice. We are fine with that.

This one is ours. We made it. All of them are, however, made after the historial sources from various indo-european religions, mostly germanic!

Well, I remember meeting Berbers long ago in Tunisia. They had white camels and, many of them had blue eyes! That was strange. Perhaps a Vandalic influence? Who knows? However, they are an Afroasiatic group. They are not IndoEuropeans, and the myth of Itherther is different from common IE myth of the Sky Father (DyausPther). How they prayed to their gods, I personally don't know.

​@@WulthusThey are of Western Asian origin, from populations similar to the Indo-Europeans and Anatolians. There are records of tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Berbers in the Canary Islands, there was never a Germanic invasion there.

Since we have been classically educated it wasn't that hard for us to learn Gothic and then ProtoGermanic. The Vikings spoke Old Norse language. Both Gothic and Old Norse are Germanic languages and share many common traits. However, Gothic is older and by the time Viking era began Goths as a separate nation no longer existed, and Gothic was no longer spoken. As for where can you learn both languages - at Univeristies or by yourself.

Well, thank you for an interesting comment! However, we chose Gothic because we a) live in countries once inhabited by the Goths b) we consider ourselves to be (distant) relatives of the Old Goths and c) Gothic is the oldest attested Germanic language that can be almost fully reconstructed despite the fact that it hasn't been actively spoken since the fall of Ostrogothic kingdom and since Visigoths decided to abandon their language. Thus we speak to the Old gods in Gothic because we feel closer to the gods and to the Old times...

👍

I am guessing you liked the video?

@@Wulthus very much so thank you for the videos and gothic language. Keep up the great work

Hi. This word is not a proto-Germanic but proto-Norse. Proto-Germanic version would be Wolthuthewaz. The meaning is "servant of Ullr", Ullr being one of the Aesir asociated with archery and skiing. Cheers!

@@Wulthus Ooohh thank you I always wanted to know I thought it was proto germanic

@@alvarogonzalez1249 I am glad to have helped you. 👍

Schutz vor was?

Hail!

Look at the title of the video. It is Gothic language.

Well, to be honest we are talking about a language that's been "dead" for almost 1500 years. There aren't any clues as to how exactly Gothic sounded (of course). In any case all the Germanic languages were similar regarding the pronunciation (the way they sounded) at the times Gothic was still spoken (not to mention the protoGermanic times, when this distinction was almost non existant). Thus, all of us who are trying to "use" Gothic today have our own ways of sounding. You may compare it to Latin. There is classical pronunciation and ecclesiastical with all it's sub variants (italianized, anglicized etc). Since Goths had so many different non Germanic allies (Slavs and non Slavs) it is only logical that they used Gothic with their own accent... Hope this helps :).

@@Wulthus Thank you so much for explanation, so the real pronunciation is not known neither for Ænglisc nor for Guthiska Razda.

@@blacksea-caspiansea9504 Well, since AEnglisc was spoken until 12th century it is perhaps easier to guess what it sounded like, it is easier to reconstruct the pronunciation, but to know for sure, 100% is a bit of a gamble in my humble oppinion. But AEnglisc or the language of the old Anglo Saxons influenced and was influenced by Gothic language before the Saxons invaded Britain. It was then that Saxons and Goths lived as neighbours, then Goths moved to the area around the Black Sea (in Ukraine where today is war between Russia and Ukraine). Besides, as I said both are germanic languages. The same thing goes for different Slavic languages as well... However, I personally see all these old languages as a window into the past. One step closer to the old gods and the most distant ancestors that gave us this language, our blood and who we really are.

They still do...

@@Wulthus wtf. That’s stupid.

@@jp8871 Not to those who do it.

@@jp8871 Do you pray to your god?

@@hippyjoe yes

Well, hello to you too 😁 my friend!

Good for you,, but opinions vary.

Interesting. Goths were Slavs before Slavs even formed, they spoke Germanic language, instead of Slavic, had Germanic names instead of Slavic, had Germanic myths and customs etc ... amazing insight! Congratulations! Besides Sabazios (not Sabazias) was sky father/horseman of the Phrygians and Thracians, who were neither Slavs nor Goths. Your analysis is absolutely brilliant! If you're trying to get accepted into mental institution...

@@Wulthus awesome answer, 😂

You can always make the effort and learn it. To quit is a not a trait of ancient europeans, ancient indo-europeans. We became quitters by accepting Christianity, which is a serious mental illness. But can be cured by "Will" as Nietzsche put it. If something was stolen from you - take it back!

Kid, don't you have something better to do? Leave the grown up things to the grown ups!

Thank you for watching, for now this channel is not active! Cheers!
