It's great to see the Norroena Society getting mentioned! Their books are amazing.

@williamwisner1547 Год назад

Seconded! Big William Reeves fan and love his Our Fathers God Saga. Also love the Norroena Society books.

Thirded! Ich am a stoor Wilhelm eathmeeter and ich love his bethedening of Our Fathers Godsaga whilch is deedsakely ywritten by Viktor Rydberg. Norræna Society hath a lot of great stuff too!

An outstanding video by two well-informed, well-spoken Heathen intellects who are clearly fluent in and passionate about the subject matter. Good stuff. You two gentlemen covered a lot of ground and I hope you'll cover even more.

@williamwisner1547 Год назад

Great podcast! Super enjoyed this! Reeves is fascinating and Dr. Shell is such a great authority, it was fantastic seeing this complimentary discussion. More please!

@kyledavisnorroena Год назад

We need more in-depth conversations like this happening. Great interview guys. Heathens alike benefit from these kinds of things. Thank you both.

Interesting stuff! Thorstein Mayfield's translation of the mythological poems of the Poetic Edda makes a good case for Harbarð in Harbarðsljoð being Loki, not Odin; this interpretation makes sense to me. Incidental linguistic question: lines 2-4 of the Second charm start with "then;" why is it spelled "du" in line 2 and "thu" in lines 3-4? It would be great to have a follow-up by you on some of the things William Reaves brought up that you said you'd look into further!

Thank you for this video and thank you for what you do!

Amazing podcast, please do another.

@ChristophalHellewell Год назад

Thank you for sharing this video with me. The analysis of the Merseberg Charms is incredibly informative.

@davidaxelos4678 2 месяца назад

Very interesting, I agree completely. As a sidenote: intfuar would be entfahr!, the imperativ of entfahren in modern German, meaning to slip out.

@paolosasso2189 Год назад

Wow, so much to digest. One thing that caught my attention is when Scott said that a G and W are related. I think it was said the Lombards worshiped Godan. What is the relationship between the two?

@scottt.shellcontinentalger2464 Год назад

W shifted to G before back vowels (a, o, u) in Lombardic.

In Dutch we say 'de dans ontspringen' when you avoid danger by means of luck. The dance in this case is likely battle.

@bladehoner3185 Год назад

Very well done gentleman. One of my favorite subjects.

@antonyreyn Год назад

Great video Cheers

@bladehoner3185 Год назад

Could Phol be the horses name...similar to a young horse- foal?

@ryushogun9890 Год назад

Is there a good Discord server to hang out and talk about folklore studies?

@faramund9865 Год назад

Eiris sound logical to me. 'Eer' is very common in Dutch for example. Same way you can say it in English with 'ere', although I think some consider it archaic.

@sarah8383 Год назад

Hi from Balder's land. 😅

@terryriffe4792 Год назад

In the Germanic world view wasn't bonds used as a metaphor for death ?

@Survivethejive Год назад

Hel is said to have ropes and a similar female figure with bonds of death is mentioned in other Indo-European religions

@YamiPoyo Год назад

Firstly, the love for these stories is evident and very inspiring. Secondly, its great to see this level of content available for heathens by heathens. And lastly, is there a compilation of these stories available in order instead of the fragmented state that they are in now? Sorry if it has been mentioned, i just didn't see.

@scottt.shellcontinentalger2464 Год назад

Not really. I recommend: 1) Poetic Edda (trans. by Larrington) 2) Prose Edda (trans. by Faulkes) 3) Gesta Danorum (trans. by Fisher) Those are the major texts we discussed in the video.

@meloveyoujournale Год назад

"duoder" ... sounds to me like "daughter" or in German "Tochter". "Hera" may be from Greece? People were traveling back then too. Ergo, "die Tochter von Hera"??

@scottt.shellcontinentalger2464 Год назад

It’s not “daughter.”
