The chain of things that don’t exist makes me think of what binds us in society. Status, positions in social hierarchies, job roles, other peoples opinions of us, these things bind us as sure as chains and yet, none of them really exist.

Great storytelling of one of my favoret norse tales my friend.

I wonder how many lifetimes you’ve been telling stories by the fire for 😂 You’ve got it nailed mate! Every video is a treasure🔥

Love your stories man!!! Poor Fenrir :(

I really enjoy your storytelling! The atmosphere is so cozy, i would love to be there and sit by the fire while listening. I just found your channel and can't wait to go through all the videos!

Sublime as usual, friend!

Beautiful telling! I had never heard this story.

Love your version!

I'd never heard the parts about the bond between tyr and fenris. It makes for a much more tragic story than I'd imagined before. Im glad to have heard your rendition.

Oh boy, a taste of the personality of Tyr. I'm excited to learn more about this once father, now son of the gods!

Magnificent and brilliant presentation that was just wow ! had goosebumps by listening to you bravo.🤠

Half the dead went to FREYA!.

That was awesome. Thank you

Just subscribed! Slàinte mhath mo charaidean!

So well told! Thank you.

Once again, excellent, my grass stained knee friend.. Although I don't see any stains today those are mighty fancy pants you have on I would love to be best friends with you and miss story.. You both seem like such interesting down to earth people

I feel like you were there in Jotunheimr

No matter how many times I read or listen to this story I always feel sorry for both Tyr & Fenrir. A father-like son caring relationship, then to trickery, and lastly vengeance. Then again there must be a catalyst & an end. So wolf must bite the hand feeds him.♥️🫱🏻🐺💔

I know that look, everyone looking around like its a game of musical chairs 😂 rip sacrificial hand 🤚🏼

5:04 the idea of Hel being half corpse is actually kinda misunderstood, from the way I heard it, she wasn't a rotting corpse on that half, but rather that of a victim of hypothermia. Her skin was purple and frostbitten but perfectly preserved, the whole rotted corpse feels more like a christian alteration done later as she didn't need to be rotted to be scary. For a norsemen, seeing someone who's body looks half like someone who froze out in the mountains no matter how beautiful is going to be horrifying. (Also Hella was not her name, thats marvel, her name was Hel with one L the christians stole her name and added an extra L to the end later on.)

Odin's karma was dog maw.

I really enjoy the stories you share and how you tell them! I noticed that in recent videos you've used AI generated images rather than classical paintings like in previous videos. As an artist I feel like I have to let people know that AI generated images are all stolen works of art from the internet. Currently there are several lawsuits against AI generator companies because artists had no consent or compensation for their works being used. The developers of Midjourney, a popular AI image generator company, were recently caught in admitting they stole from artists and have a hidden registry of over 10,000 artist names used for their AI. I highly recommend not using AI images for this reason until the technology is regulated and the art is being ethically used.

The best storytellers let me fall asleep rather quickly, and this was one of your best performances ever. So thank you for 4 hours of deep painless sleep. Now I must watch it again to get the whole story. 💜 In a way I pity Loki. Smart, clever, the only 'intellectual' among that bunch of quite simple-minded Æsir - no wonder his character got a certain nastiness.

Natural storyteller! I like it but if we all come from Africa and started off black, how did white Gods and beliefs come about?
