7:20 For anyone curious, A.D. originally stood for “Anno Dominei” (forgive my spelling) which translates into “the year of our dom.” The decoding of A.D. into “after death (of Jesus Christ)” is more recently adopted by english speakers.
I like how from a like outside appearance. The difference is scrubbing clean the connection with enlightenment and spirit. The new ones are just simplified straight order most likely due to the influence of the church.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. For the original sources, check out the Eddas and Sagas. We recommend checking out this book for detailed guide on each rune - Nordic Runes: Understanding, Casting, and Interpreting the Ancient Viking Oracle by Paul Rhys Mountfort. You can also check this out - norse-mythology.org/runes/the-best-books-on-the-runes/ .
Not really but it's similar to Christ lore so you could take it that way if you want. Oddly it's attributed to Thor as it's his rune but it's the spear or thorn in Odin's side on Yggdrasil when he hangs for 9 days to grasp the runes. It's interesting to consider because those nine days could last a lifetime to Odin given the aetheric nature of the experience. He's meant to be entranced between life and death like the hanged man at this point. I don't care about bait... you could follow and donate to me if you weren't evil. Everyone knows who I am. Even the Satanic are charitable in aim to occasion.
... until you realize most of this is esoteric nonsense made up in the modern age. Tell that crap to people back than and you'll be loved at ... in a best case scenario.
Ewhaz is The Rune That is on all maybachs runes are Everywhere if you study them they will Speak to you also come by New York anytime If you wish To Gaze upon yggdrasil on Midgard May the All father bless you in your journey in life
@prettylyricsmarie Because when Ralph Blum commissioned a company to make the cast ceramic runes for his book, it was significantly cheaper to make a 5x5 grid than a 3x8 one. That started the completely ahistorical trend of including a "blank rune" in rune sets.
Germanic Runa....ARE NOT Norse Runa, the Norse only had 16 Runa and not 24 and the name's are different ! Such as...the first is....Fe, Ur, Thur's, Asa Reidhr, Kaun. I strongly suggest that you continue to study a subject that you have little knowledge
Runes we’re originally made to write out proto Nordic so yes they are Germanic but calling then Germanic runes would be like calling the English German cause that’s where they came from
He didn't do it to his heart but whatever we will go with it... I know it connects to another lore piece that's more necessary of import whatever i don't care someone should shoot me dead
This is a bunch of mystical horseshit. Do not confuse the *name* of a rune for a supposed "meaning". While magic was certainly done with them, it was done in the form of writing supposedly magic *words*. The runes themselves were never thought to contain any magic power or any sort of meaning besides their phonetic value until long after they had fallen out of use and had since become a curiosity. When the ancient Germanic peoples somehow came up with the Elder Futhark (its origins are highly debated), they assigned names to the runes for ease of memorization, nothing more. There was no special meaning assigned to the runes. They were first and foremost a writing system, like any other. However, they were primarily written on wood or bark, and thus the vast majority of inscriptions are lost to us since wood doesn't preserve terribly well. Instead, we mostly get inscriptions in stone and metal that survive, stuff like gravestones and decrees and whatnot. Most of the much more mundane uses (shopping lists, personal notes, keeping stock of trade goods etc.) were largely written on media that don't preserve well and thus they are lost. These were used as a writing system like any other. While you may assign any meaning you want to these runes, be aware that those meanings (or any "meanings" you may encounter) are not historical, and that the runes were never used like that until relatively recently.
Hi there, thanks for adding to the discussion. Even today, scholars debate whether the runes contained magical power or not. I quote from a study: "At the crux of this study are two terms for different runological views explained by Antonsen (2002): “romantic” and “skeptical”. “Romantic” scholars assume that the Germani believed the runes to be magical, while the “skeptical” view holds that the early Germani never conceived of any rune magic." (Evans, 2011, Runes Past and Present). In our video, we cover the names of the runes as well as their purported meanings. There are many views and perspectives, none of which can be stated as definite fact. It seems you're defending the Skeptical view - but again, we cannot say that that is correct without a shadow of doubt.
Funny thing though, a rune draw will give pretty good answers or predictions. So .. who knows!? Let's not forget that the Vólvas passed their knowledge orally to their successor, and with the church ... female knowledge was shunned, deletd, demolished!
@@sarahgilbert8036 How do you know that the predictions made aren't simply so vague that your brain could interpret basically anything as being a "correct prediction" (that's the secret behind all forms of divination). There's also the fact that even IF the ancient Germanic peoples assigned such meanings to their runes, they're entirely arbitrary to begin with (made-up symbols, made-up meanings, everything).
Don’t know why this popped in my recommended but from the title alone, there’s absolutely no evidence to suggest that runes had magical meanings or anything like that. The only ‘evidence’ of the runes having magical meaning is ‘I don’t understand what this means or this inscription doesn’t make sense so it’s obviously magic’, which clearly isn’t scientific at all. The runes are as far as we are aware, exclusively an alphabet
@@Langwigcfijul For real I hate when someone's like 'oh this rune symbolizes wealth, happiness, healing' or some other bs and it just annoys me so much. No, that rune symbolizes a sound similar to the sound of 'f' and that one symbolizes a sound similar to a 'w' and so on, the name of the rune might be 'feoh' or whatever but the rune itself does NOT mean wealth or cattle or something
@@christianstainazfischer If they took the time and look. They'd see runic inscriptions used to write the most mundane things like : "I Harigastiz wrote this." Not exactly that, but very similar.
Hey thanks for pointing that out! It's noted. I believe it's a common mistake: “A.D.” does not mean “after death,” as many people suppose. “B.C.” stands for the English phrase “before Christ,” but “A.D.” stands confusingly for a Latin phrase: anno domini (“in the year of the Lord”-the year Jesus was born). - brians.wsu.edu/2016/05/16/a-d/
@@SymbolSage yes, that's exactly what I said. You said in your video "After Death" which makes absolutely no sense at all. It's invented...! I also said AD means anno dominni which is the same as AC, After Christ and more recently it is also the same as CE, Common Era, an American invention for those who don't believe in Christ (which I think it's stupid, but...)...the Americans have become too sensitive to the point of absurdity, but that's a personal opinion. So...I don't understand why you answer my comment with my own answer! ;) funny, anyway but more important is to correct your video right away . Thanks and have a lovely day
@susanaduarteraposo I'm an American and I can agree Americans have become whiny, piss pots of human beings. Feelings are the most relevant force here and it sucks
