Could "mothers" be figurative, and actually represent the nine realms?🤔 (nine mothers, who were also sisters)

@GrimmShadowsII 3 года назад

That's a good theory. Norse mythology is written as poems, and I believe are thought to have been sung, so it would be more poetic the way it's written rather then "seer of the 9 realms" or something like that. It isn't that uncommon even today to believe there's a connection between mother and child so that connection could be refering to his ability to see into all 9 realms.

Can you imagine that when Heimdall gets introduced whenever he enters the Valhalla court and the dude who has to introduce him ends with "And Enemy of Loki!" And everyone just claps, b/c everyone hates Loki.

@mrmegalovania 2 года назад

No one in myth "Hated" Loki just tolerated him or were somewhat close to him if you notice Thor in particular does go to Loki if he couldn't solve a problem by beating it with Mjölnir lol Heimdall maybe the only one that did not like Loki because of their feud however that came about but he too tolerated him for the most part due to Odin. But after Ragnarök is started sure they hated him then for obvious reasons of pointing out their flaws and well starting the literal end of all things is understandable. But of course I'm one for Loki he was necessary to push them or save the day then ultimately be their undoing.

@rasmusjrgensen3041 2 года назад

Man these videos just gives me all kind of nostalgia. In Denmark where I live Norse mythology is a pretty big thing, at least it was in my old school, so you get a lot of different stories from the mythology. In danish the word giant is translates to jætte and the word Jormungandr is usually translated to midgårdsormen and we usually call fenrir fenrisulven. I also remember going on a school trip to jelling-museet which is a museum in Jelling where the jelling stone is placed, which is a stone carved by Harald Blåtand (Bluetooth) and is also called Denmarks baptism certificate since Harald Blåtand is essentially the person that switched Denmark from believing in Norse mythology to believing in Christianity. I even remember a person coming over to our school and doing a PowerPoint presentation of the basics of Norse mythology and afterwards drawing a giant. Fantastic video and extra points for putting me back in like 2. or 3. grade😂

@darriendastar3941 3 года назад

This was excellent - one of your best. One thing that you might be interested in is the etymological origins of black and white in Nordic languages. You need a conceptual shift in the idea of colour, first, though. Black and white were perceived as the same philosophical concept - an absence of colour (the idea of black and bleach - the withdrawal of colour - are the exact same). What we regard as 'colours' were regarded as shades of 'grey' between an absence of colour. So the cinematic portrayal of Heimdall as a brown-eyed, brown-skinned man is exactly as accurate as a portrayal of him as a blue-eyed, pink-skinned man. Once you work from the basis that there was day and night and everything between was variations between absences in being able to see things with your eyes, that human evolutionary leap between experiencing things in nature that we call colour and being able to control the colour (through dying and painting and staining) of things we see becomes enormous. Oh well, just an idea.

The Rigsthula myth reminds me of the Grimms Fairytale called Eve’s Various Children. The story is more of an explanation on why rich people are pretty and poor people are ugly, and it replaces the random couples with Adam and Eve, but I bet it’s a variant of the same myth.

Never heard the term 9 seas it's usually 7 but I guess the vikings could have had a different definition of seas. They probably only knew 2 of the oceans; the Atlantic and I think a wreck or 2 has been found in the Arctic ocean, unless I'm thinking of a movie or show, but I don't think they ever mad it to the Pacific and while they traveled alot it was mostly by boat so I don't think they found all the places we refer to as seas today.

@FableworldVT 3 года назад

can't say I grew up reading the Pros Edda, but I do fondly remember a comic book series named Valhalla that did tell /make a small spin on each of these myths you told about the Norse gods. I remember one of these comic books about Heimdall, where he was getting together with Freyja and Loki came and screwed it up by stealing the necklace of love. Heimdall almost killed the poor bastard, as you can't hide from someone who can hear the grass grow and see the four corners of the world. but Loki got him to back off by telling the half-truth that he made a bet with Odin about stealing the necklace. it was a very interesting read, but I am unsure if those comic books ever got published outside my country.

Hey Jon, being that Christians very often incorporated or adopted/reimagined many myths/legends of other cultures/religions into the Christian mythos, perhaps more of Heimdall's story can be found or, at least, speculated upon if researching through Christian mythos that is either known to have evolved from Norse mythology or has very similar/coincidental aspects. Just a thought. You're the research expert so I'll leave that for you to ponder.

@SesshouFan22 3 года назад

@elliot04877 3 года назад

I doubt it the christians tried to erase everything to do with our old gods, the only reason we know so much about them is because of the skalds and eddas

@SrZyrkon 3 года назад

You can see the effects of Christianity in what remains tho (cough cough Snori cough cough), but like you said yhe reverse is true too. Most major Christian holidays and practices were Pagan and were preserved by having a Christian coat of paint added. Folk stories and wives tales have carried a lot of the old practices and traditions forward too, although a lot of the original meanings are probably lost. Honestly tho, it would be an interesting endeavor to pour through the Christian mythos to see what clues and breadcrumbs are still there.

@forickgrimaldus8301 2 года назад

Which is the problem with Norse Mythology as they rarely wrote about their religion, they only really got establish after the Christianzation of Scandinavia which is surprisingly less bloody than how Lithuania got Christianized. (in Short Northern Crusades happened mostly failed so Lithuanians had enough and basically converted to Christianity and then later created Poland-Lithuania and the Teutonic order still hated them and then later became Prussia.)

Something occurs to me: Could you go over the origins of "That's a 4-letter word"? Obviously, that's meant to signify a bad word like "f*ck", "sh*t", or even "damn", but it can also extend to certain economic terms, certain car brands, and other things depending on who you talk to. And there are so many other 4-letter words that aren't bad: like "like", "hike", "thin", "that", etc. Heck, "four", is a 4-letter word, and the only number the same amount of letters as its number. So, where did the expression come from?

@CieJe.Alexander 3 года назад

Some 4 letter words that have, at least one bad/sad meaning(s)/connotation(s), IMHO are; hate, hurt, kill, envy, mean. ugly, pain, ache, sore, sick, gore/gory, lame, maim, mute, dumb, rape, raze, haze, loot, scum, scam, play, take, fake, snub, snob, poor, cold, burn, leer, ogle, brat, 4 letter bad weather words (snow, rain, hail, hoar, smog, *) *repeat cold, and haze/hazy

@@MissCaraMint Awesome! You don’t need much at once but it’s really good. Not all stores carry a big variety of it. Most have Chaucer’s, which is like the commoner’s mead, which is usually fine for me, I’m not that picky. But it’s not really expensive. Even the fancier kinds are really affordable.

Thanks for this episode, it was interesting and informative. If you take requests I noticed in the comments you've read Neil Gaiman what about the messed up origins of Anansi? I first heard about him on the ever classic cartoon Static Shock. I've been low key obsessed since then. Have a great day!

4:55 ok far fetched but maybe it meant he had nine sisters and they took care of him like a mother more then his/their mother did?

My take on Heimdall being "white" ... it makes the most sense if he's something like a warrior who's survived to middle age, not quite as strong as in his youth, but more experienced and seasoned. So while Thor is well-suited to roaming around and getting peed on by giants, Heimdall's talents dispose him towards a role that's a little less active but also beyond the capabilities of a young warrior. His cunning - such as recommending that Thor disguise himself - would also be appropriate to an older warrior. His age would also make sense if he was around at the beginning of human society, cultivating the classes of mankind as well as the sickest burns.

@elliot04877 3 года назад

i have no idea what point you were trying to make but heimdall has always been depicted as pale and blonde, the reason he was black in marvel was because of a new phenomenon known as ''blackwashing'' which has grown to be quite common in hollywood these past years

there is no such thing as ''african mythology'' nor ''Native american mythology'' same as there is no ''european mythology''. Putting all those continents mythologies into one category would be as if you put the greek gods and the norse gods into the same mythology just because they both stem from europe

Hollywood thought blackwashing this nordic God, a z list character in the movie with about 6 lines, was what black or white people wanted? They’re so disconnected from reality and insulting to my culture. Most nordics think Hollywood’s Thor movies are trash btw; also WHERE is Thor’s big awesome beard 😆

Hyndall's head sword is obviously his man package (and maybe he even used ManScape back then, no just kidding). White back then meant bright or brilliant, not his skin color. Makes sens Alba played him also.
