The Web of Wyrd 

"the earth, a testing ground for lunatics and idiots" most amazing quote of the year.

I liked the idea that it contains all the elder futharc runes in it.Not viking for sure but aesthetically pleasing

Wonderful to see scholarship triumphing over pseudo-magic(k)al merchandising in such a sharp manner. As you rightly say, a symbol does not have to be ancient to ''work'', but honesty about sources is crucial to all zones of study. Very best wishes for a full and swift recovery. M.D.P.

As a Heathen this is good to know. Also that "modern heathernry should be astute regarding what we are and what we have in our possession. I have a Web of Wyrd as a pendant. Its fine that modern aspects do appear and I support it, so long as the aspects are humble and direct. Thanks for the information!!

Glad you are starting to feel better! Thank you for making this video and talking about the history of the symbol. I have no problem with recent creations - is what we do - but honesty in that is important.

Thank you as always for the truth! Get well soon Arith. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

It is further used by Brian Bate’s in his book The Way of Wyrd published in 2004

Sorry to hear that you were in thr hospital Arith. Thank you for such an honest and straight to the point description and history of this symbol. Sending you health and vitality to help you heal from covid.

Ancient, no. But still pretty cool. 😍 Just a symbol, but cool. I think people take everything sooo seriously! People need to just enjoy life. Glad you're home my dear friend.

"the earth, a testing ground for lunatics and idiots" ... ... yes Sir; we have to change our direction radicaly 360°.

Thank you my friend, I too had long Covid, it took roughly 6 months to fully recover. Wishing you well soonest, love and strength.

Wishing you a speedy recovery my friend. thanks for the quality education always, hug from argentina.

Thank you for this video. And I hope you'll continue to feel better.

Thank you Arith 🌻 I wish you the best for recovery. Take yourself all the time your body needs ... pacing, pacing, pacing ... so it doesn't get worse but slowly better 🌾

Thank you for the information . I wish you a quick recovery.

Thank you for this video! Especially when you don't feel well.

Thank you for explaining this. I hope you get to feeling better. XX

Must be a connecting symbol of this time then. Have been seeing this since 95 in various places and visions. It first game, then I started to draw intrest in runes to compare it with the Mogil David.

I appreciate your energy going into such a humbug symbol while trying to cope with long Covid. My family and I have been struggling with Long Covid for almist three yesrs now and the way it works through in other (health) issues and humbug reactions from morons underestimating such a havoc wreacking virus. All I can say is: hang on, don't force yourself. That will backfire. I do hope your body (and mind for that matter) will stop overreacting. Storms will calm down eventually. Save your energy, establish your priorities and heal with time. Rest and figuring out what deserves your energy are the only things you can try to manage. Blessings from the Netherlands to you and all who can relate.

Best wishes for you health and full recovery Arith. Thank you for all your content.

I hope your path back to heath is a quick journey brother 🤟Thank you

Great video, as always. I'm so sorry that you are feeling so ill. I hope that you are feeling much better soon!

Wish you a speedy recovery!

We Brazilians are each day more interested in norse culture

Thanks for this one, I really feel connected to this symbol and the web of interconnectedness. I knew it wasn’t historical or ancient as the modern esoteric meanings of the rues and etc… Hope you are feeling better❤

hey Arith - i think i sent you an email via wordpress. Take care of yourself . I so look forward to your wisdom and humour. As for the symbol - i enjoy looking at it for bind rune patterns

Sorry to hear about your health difficulties, my friend. I hope you're able to get some rest and recover quickly.

Many wishes to the recovery of your ailment. Great video as always

Excellent! This is really interesting. Thank you

Wow am I ever glad I found your channel!!! Thank you for putting all this out there and sharing with us. Really helps and guides me along my path 🙏

❤ lemon myrtle, turkey tail mushroom and lionsmaine tea….can help a lot if you can find them…..healing and regeneration….

I would prefer modern symbols created by sincere people. That’s what the ancient symbols all were at one time. Their actual meanings largely unknown today.

I don't know about you, but I see 33, XXXlll, an association with the Moon and it's 33 year cycle, making it a Cool symbol for the Moon cycle, and I can almost see Lunar in that books title. Wyrd isn't it, or was it the symbols Destiny to be associated with Moon.

Dużo zdrowia Ci życzę. I wish you a lot of health. Thank you for your work

Speedy Healing to you Sir!

People need to remember Germanic Norse religious practices were sharply cut off. It is normal to reinterpret and have new inspiration for older ideas. Got to watch dogmatic thinking no matter what tradition you work within.

It's a very cool symbol. Now I feel sorry for those who got a tattoo thinking it's old and "viking".

I hope you recover completely soon. Take care of yourself. Wonderful video as usual.

Excellent job as always sir!

As a modern Heathen(not a viking) i think its great that we create new Symbols and magic Runes :)

I wondered what happened to you, we are blessed to have you here and hope you get stronger and feel better soon!

What a coincidence. In your northmen video I asked you about runes from Elden Ring and as if destiny heard my call, here is a rune from the game. A person, who is trying to hold the status quo of the golden order with all his might, uses this symbol to deny entrance to the core of the erdtree, the manifestation of the golden order, thinking, his believes are based in archaic times of origin, while they are a creation of the 'golden order fundamentalist', who lost touch to the origins of their believes while they are unbeknownst of this. Wish you the best, Arith, you will recover from this stronger than ever! ;)

I hope you are well, Arith. Being sick is quite a pain to be honest.

I mean, you *can* trace out each of the runes within it, I tried it for fun. Jera's tricky but there's a way to do it. 😂

Thanks for explaining this. I enjoy your presentation style. The information you bring is always great. Hurry up and get better. We still have need of you. The land of the living isn't done with you yet.

Get well soon and heal well dear Arith, thank you for your good work you share. Very appreciated. Greatings from Germany :)

Sir, an excellent assessment of our need to continue symbolizing our growing understanding of what relationship exists between ourselves and the world around us. You are rapidly becoming a channel I look for on RU-vid, and you do not disappoint. Thank you.

Obrigado por hoje, e sempre. See you soon, rest! You wish, Arith. The Valkyries say "Not yet!" My friend, you got a lot licks to play, you haven't even pulled your best Ace, yet!

Be well. Take care of your health first. If that means less videos that's ok; we'll all be here when you get back. =)

Fascinating, I appreciate your perspective on creativity. A positive way to look at things! Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you Arith for this wonderful video and may your health continue to get better ❤️

You cracked me up with your first sentence. Thank you ! Covid was bad for my husband and I. It lingers . Humor is a good medicine though . Get well soon . Your videos are riveting. Can't stop watching 🌻

Outstanding Sir,as always.Ihave this tattooed on the same spot you have your own chest sigil

I do highly like and appreciate many of your presentations and have enjoyed viewiing them over the years, so thank you for your ongoing presentations. However not all knowledge is academic and trying to academically debunk lineages of practical knowledge you do not have direct experience with can come across as arrogant. There are many genuine lineages of knowledge and wisdom practices which have been preserved and handed down via generations retained within families and tribal cultures that have not been nailed down as academic. What you are describing is a symbolic depiction of the Orlog . The symbol represents the infinite 'web' of life and you can see clear parralels to it via other sacred geometric forms such as the 'flower of life'. All the runes of the younger and elder futhark are derived from this orlog. Each rune has a definitive phonetic resonance and hence can be 'called' out and 'drawn' out from the Orlog yet they are all intrinsically interconnected with it (crystalising into defined individuated forms via the underlying infinite creative waveform). I would argue failure to see this interconnectedness of the runes is failure to understand the archetypical qualitative phonetic nature of the runes.

This is the symbol of a character called Radagon in the videogame Elden Ring.

And I hope your cats are well too.

Thanks for doing an explanation about this rune symbol Arith. I've often thought about it and with my limited research I have not ever found anything about it in the old sagas or pretext. Great video. Like others have said, neat looking rune that encompasses everything and now like what you just said, it's a modern interpolation.

Speedy recovery!

Grazie, è sempre interessante seguirti 👏👏👏

I love to see that all the Elder Furhark Runes are in that Web of Wyrd. it's fun to draw!

Thanks Arith🤘🤘👏

I'm greatly expanding my knowledge about Norse folklore, magic and esoteric practices and beliefs here. So I pray to all my Gods that you'll be alive and well next time. ;)

Thanks for your tireless efforts to separate fact from fiction.

Once upon time I ask Freya what is this symbol mean? I use 2 tarot card and She answer: From Left to Rigth is axis of time: past, present (Fool) and future (all higth arcanes!). It was 1 tarot pack. But second tarot pack was more interesting. It was high ALL arcanes: and ... i don't speak about them, but I absolutly understand Hagal, Uruz, Alg and other symbols that they mean in past-future and mind/real spheres

It's my personal opinion that we should formulate a list of "authenticated" Runes/Symbols and "Reconstructionist" Runes/Symbols. Transparency is our friend and will help us actually rebuild the old faith, rather than having to chase our tails to prove/disprove each other. Just my thoughts.

Funny thing is a lot of people don't realize that the vegvísir symbol is also not Viking. Neither is it a rune. Yet still I see tons of people getting it tattooed as Viking rune. Oh and the new Vikings Valhalla(don't even use the appropriate term - Valhǫll) show is a shameful pile of garbage. Please don't waste your time my friend.

"It represents the building blocks of the universe itself" - Stephan Grundy in his work "Teutonic Magic" thinks the same way of rune Hagalaz. He stated that it's essentially a blueprint of the molecules in the Norse universe, a seed that has fallen from the sky, that which holds the world together and can be potentially devastating (like hail storm). Goes hand in hand with the Norse creation myth where the world had formed out of the ice. So in the same way, a hail stone is an "unliving" seed that nevertheless bears within a great amount of magical energy for creating life.

I send love for your body..i use an stav fir healling this disease with good results. If you want, i do for you.....thanks for your professional work ...i like and value it to much....

I first noted it used in the Rune Gild. Before then it didn't exist as far as I'm aware. The idea is an extension of the hagal rune in it's sixfold stave enclosed in a hexagon. From this all the armanan runes can be seen. This was shown idea was made prominent in edred thorsson book Futhark under the commentary on Hagalaz. Nigel pennick extended it to copies of the same design whilst the rune Gild developed it as seen in the video. Others then based their runic ideas on top of this outside the Gild. Rune postures using this, like all rune posture ideas originate in the 20th century German rune magicians.

It's just 7 segments led displayer of rune symbol. Ancient angels don't get any pictures and yet we still can illustrate it from old text

Amazing... I was one of those thinking it was an ancient symbol, thanks Odín I got to see the Truth...

Thank you very much for taking all your strength to give us such good content and well enjoyed dark humor sprinkled in between 😉

Arith, what does the symbol in your background mean?

Love your stuff kick on love it

Whats the similar one you used in the thumbnails of your power acquisition vids?

Yes, it is good to know the background and history of symbols, to create a timeline if nothing else.

💜

Thanks for this. Hope you recover quickly.

Im glad you're back on the mend good energies to you thankyou for sharing this

Arith so sorry to hear you had Covid… hope you get your full energy return :)

Sorry, I'm late to the party, still awesome as always. Get well soon, best wishes.

Looks like the Well of Mara

Oh No! feel better! Sending good vibes and healing🙂

Dawm im happy about seeing this video befor getting a tattoo with the symbol. Im probably going to get the tattoo anyways becouse it stil has meaning to me and though its modern i think its taken its place in modern heathenry.

I cringe when I see people tattooed with helm of awe.

Hope you get well and best wishes

I've always thought it a little cringe that people do things because it's "Viking" but hey. If you like it, do it. If you like ragnars long hair, and want your hair to look like that do it 🤷‍♂️ I have a tattoo of the helm of awe which I got when I joined the army. Don't let other people tell you what to do if you want to get the Web tattoo, get it 😂 it's about what it means to you 🤷‍♂️

Arith, may you be well.

Very informative vid

5 seconds in best intro yet bro

To me, the Web of Wyrd is an aesthetically rustic form of the Flower of Life. Indeed, if drawn slowly and meditatively with 60 degree angles it has the same affect of balance, symmetry, and infinite expansion. I like Arith's take, as usual, that we are creative beings so why not be creative and contemplative.

Be well soon I have had long Covid since 2020 . Xxx it’s a journey of looking after yourself xxx

Feel better Arith! )O(

Blessings.

That series also turned Hakkon the Good into a black woman. Brought to you by Netflix, the same company that brought us "Cuties".

I like it

This symbol looks very close to Nord Russland before Cristian symbol for a house protection. They carved it on the wood window's covers and close them for the night. After Cristian, the government call this symbol as a diabolical and black women magic. Idea if this symbol was - Earth in the center, under the university protection .the lines of light before they start moving into a solar system/spiral.

I'm glad you're well enough to leave hospital. If it's cvd, Dr Campbell recommended vitamins D and K

🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻💜

3:03 - 3:07 😂
