🇬🇧 I live in the far north of Britain in Northumberland
( Famous for the constant Viking raids from 700 to 900 AD!)

I love folklore, Pagan & ancient gods & goddesses of Pagan Britain, Scandinavia & Germany.

But, this is the first time ive heard of Frisian Gods & Goddesses.
It would help if you could have displayed the names of these ancient dieties, up on the screen.
It helps to see the spelling of the names.

When you mentioned
Bad Hannu (?) Goddess of War, the name reminded me of Britains War Queen, Boudicca.
Her tribe the Iceni lived on the eastern coast in East Anglia.

My ancestors were originally called
Van Horn & my fathers people were from The Netherlands, but dropped the Van part during the 1st war incase the Brits thought the family could be German, not Dutch.

I used to visit Joure many years ago, about 36 yrs, i had Dutch or Frisian friends living there.

It has changed much over 3 plus decades!
Its quadrupled in size!
Its so nice to see the older films from Joure, round the 1980s 1985.
I wonder if the books you mentioned are available in English, it would be good to read them & compare the old British dieties with them.

Thank you for your video
Peace & Harmony
🇬🇧🙋

I love your videos Martin. I want to learn more if you know of any books in English. My ancestors come from the North Frisian area. I would love to learn about the local Gods and customs. My mom has her grandmother's wooden shoes from when she was a girl.

Terpen are also called Wierden/warden/werden.

Most Frisian gods are just general Germanic gods like Wedda (Odin), Thuner (Thor) and Tiw (Tyr) but there are others that are not in Norse mythology

Enig idee hoelang Baduhenna vereerd is? Ze was de godin van de Frisii in de eerste eeuw maar ik vraag me af of ze ook nog vereerd werd in de vroege middeleeuwen?

Ik las eens keer op een Friesche site over goden en geschiedenis over een woudgod in een bos in Friesland wiens naam het bos zijn naam gaf, hij werd vergelijkt met Pan en Cerunnos. Nu ken ik er niets over vinden. denk dat ik maar weer beter fries kan gaan oefenen.

15:34 dus tuig.
