As a fellow Midlander it’s great to see a great video on Anglo-Saxon Paganism.

It is your birthright to know your specific ancestors cultures beliefs and judgements

[MrUSO]

My ancestors were the first to inhabit the English land. Later becoming Anglo Saxon and today we still exist. I feel a need to return back to my ancestral lands and retiring.

[Kaare-The-Heathen]

Thanks for this. The Anglo-Saxons are our siblings in faith. Similar but different.

I actually "found" your Channel this evening and it is very serendipitous to me as I am planning on recreating a Viking Age/AngloSaxon Village for people to experience Life of that time period. I want them to see how Paganism is still a Living Path as it has been for me my whole Life. Thank you! I will be watching more of your videos in the days ahead.

[GothiGrimwulff]

Good video. I appreciate finding an Anglo Saxon Heathen channel finally.

Great! As a German from the coast of lower saxony, this is my stuff. Greetings my anglo saxon brothers 🙂

Would like to mention that a lot of the Norse sources also speak of stories that happened on the European mainland. They are not just the legacy of the Norse, rather a part of the legacy of all the Germanic peoples who have spread out since the Nordic Bronze age. I do not say this to over shadow or not acknowledge the various Germanic peoples but simply to state the truth and for us to share in our pride of our shared Germanic heritage, culture, and history. Hail!

Great video it's nice to see someone making content on Anglo-Saxon Paganism, I was wondering once you have done your Anglo-Saxon series could you do a video about the Britonic God's like Nodens, Maponos, Leucetios, Sulis, Coventina, Brigantia ect, or figures from later English folklore like Herne, Albion and Albina, Woodwose, Robin Goodfellow, John Barleycorn, King Herla, Brutus, Bladud, Asrai, or Mythology like the realm of Avalon/Orchard Isle or perhaps English traditions such as Wassailing and Leechcraft, festivals like Jack in the Green, Lamas, Punkie Night, Garland Day ect? I haven't found any channel that posts content about either Britonic Paganism or English Folklore

I recently discovered I'm mostly English and Scottish. Was always told I was mostly Swede. I have been trying to find history of England ever since. Am also Heathen. Thank you for the info on paganism in ancient England!

[noahtylerpritchett]

I'm American and I adore English mythology. I'm asatru myself but I wanna see the English variation.
As tbh my ancestors probably worshipped Wotan not Odin. I'm not Norwegian or Danish, technically not English either depending on who you ask but that's where my ancestors are from.
But I'm unfamiliar with English mythology. Thank you for this video. Gotta love learning more about this variation of Germanic polytheism.

Great video, nice to see a focus on none Norse for a change. Particularly loved the early one true God laugh! Looking forward to the series 👍

[thegrymwolf]

Loved the video mate! I’m based in Scotland and a Norse Pagan. I will be following this series for sure as I learn more about my Anglo-Saxon ancestors!

[drewweaves]

I’d like to hear what you know about Seaxneat, Ing, and Eostre!

[freepagan]

Wow great video. I'm very much interested in Anglo-Saxon paganism. I'm familiar with Norse paganism already, and am very inspired by Odin/Wodan. But I'm more drawn toward AS paganism, for some reason. Thanks for sharing this. Btw, I might be in the minority of viewers here who aren't European. I'm actually American, and my heritage is Lebanese. According to my DNA, I'm 15% Northern European (which is not uncommon for Lebanese, given our history and all). Anyway, thank you for saying that we don't have to be English to feel welcome here. I appreciate that. I have subscribed to the channel.

Ive always wondered about the Anglo-Saxon pantheon. When people talk about paganism in the british and irish isles, they usually refer to celtic and irish mythology, so its nice to see the Saxon gods getting some limelight.

[guarddog]

People need to remember that although SOME Anglo-Saxons went to Britain, not all did.
There was a thriving population back in Saxony and northern Germania that gave Charlemagne fits for quite a while.

Oh, and before I forget, my father's parents moved from Germany to the U.S. in the early 1930s. And they were originally from north west Germany.
So at least half my ancestry is from the region of the Dutch, Frisians, Anglo-Saxons, etc.

[SonarFates]

Are you in Tamworth by any chance then? If so, strange coincidence as so am I and doing general research on Anglo-Saxons came across your good self. Keep it up mate!

[ReviveUK]

This is fascinating, thank you for sharing, I am of English, African, Syrian and Indian descent, so have lots of rich spiritual ancestry to explore!
