The Wisdom of Odin is a vlog of my journey through Norse Paganism, a way to assist others along their journey, and a place to promote a positive image for all of paganism.

While I personally declare myself as a Norse Pagan, I speak on topics that also involve aspects of Asatru, Heathenry, and other pagan identities such as Slavic/Celtic/Germanic paganism.

All gatherings are set up and managed by The Fellowship of Northern Traditions, a non-proft religious organization. This channel/community is inclusive to all but is also non-political.

I found a phallic rock. Very phallic. Offered it to Freyr proclaiming "to Freyr I offer this phallic rock, may it never go soft!" While surrounded by 30 other people 👀

[rpfcreates]

Freyr is my last name so always appreciative of the history shared behind it!

[ChlorineHeart]

I had such a warm feeling when I was watching this, thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos

I like the concept of Frey/Freyr although you are right there is not a lot of info. Great video as always my brother and have a wonderful end of the week. Snorri was a christian and I hold no punches when I say I don't put any weight in what christians say regarding the Gods/Goddesses of my folk. And as a woman I too have an affection towards phallic things particularly my husbands.

Those lines of seeing Freyr in the rust of a plow and bones of a buck also reminds me to take time to rest in the winter. It's hard to find time to be still and contemplative and allow the body and mind to replenish and rebuild in the industrialized and tech saturated culture we've become. For all time we in the north have worked hard from spring to late fall but had months to be slow and sit by the fire. It's only been a few generations since we've changed that. We've been convinced that hustle culture, being always on, always working, always gaining, is natural. It's not. All the tech and advancements we have are great when used wisely and part of that wisdom is knowing when to lay dormant for a time to rest and center yourself. Seek and remember who we are.

I loved this video. Great Job! I am a Vanir girl :) Thanks Jacob! I loved that you put in the California Yule story of Freyr. That was fantastic! And of course the Freyr ritual from the Wisconsin gathering this spring was great too :) The Ohio ritual was my favorite :) I love how the Fellowship of Northern Traditions has such a diverse way to worship the Gods. Everyone brings their love and their words and their rituals to the group and it keeps it fresh and beautiful. Your prayer to Freyr at the end made me tear up.

Freyr, the god I have (besides Tyr) the strongest connection to, thanks for this Video

[TitanScream]

Truthfully at first I was a little off put by the prayers you do at the beginning in the end but as I got to thinking about it it's actually so beautiful to get to see you do this private thing. It's also really cool because some people are better than words than other and then people can use kind of similar words that you use to help them build their prayers. I really like what you're doing here and where you're going and it's really helping rebuild my relationship in my faith to these gods.

Wonderful video. I come across a dock to Delaware River when I'm out on my walks and call out to Thor and Baldr and thank them for the beautiful day. Now I know to include Freyr. Thanks again, my friend.

I am enjoying these videos on the Gods and Goddesses of our tradition. They help supplement my personal studies. The medium of video seems to "stick" better in the mind due to so many perceptions being fed (audio, visual) and the energy behind them. A nice blend of humor and information. Keep it up! Hopefully one day I can share a fire and a pipe with you when and if you find yourself in Texas.

[noahhecker]

It’s Wodensday today, but it’s technically my work Friday, so hearing about Freyr on this pseudo-Frey’s day is pretty cool

[BrumalWildling]

I have been waiting for this video ever since after we got the Odin videos! It's finally here! Thank you Jacob 💚

[DerykRonk]

Great video. Thank you. I’m setting up my Norse alter so I needed this!

[keepongroovingfamily]

That was beautiful thank you for your hard work. Good luck in your journeys

[andreweastmond]

I really enjoyed this video. I'm just starting my journey into Norse Paganism and videos like these are helpful for me to learn more about the Gods and how best to honor them. Keep up the good work and thank you

[bethysbarn]

I’m with you! I find bodily fluid offerings kinda disrespectful rather than honouring but maybe I’m vanilla too 😂🤷‍♀️ I kept seeing Freyrs name and references to him everywhere lately and then found an entire deer skeleton in the woods the other day after years of never finding anything up there and was so amazed and grateful as I’m so connected to bones for some reason and have collected them for years and years and since I found the deer I’ve seen him everywhere still too and I asked last night for a clear sign from him if it is him wanting to reach out to me and I get your video and then the reference to the bones too so I guess they were from him and he does want me for something right now and I’m more than happy to work with him 🥳🎉🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

[X_Gami]

thank you so much for these videos brother, i have actually had my first encounter a few days ago with the gods.

[Iggyauna]

I have been wanting to venerate Freyr and I think this video has helped in helping me figure out how to best call out to him.

Funny cause in Sweden l was taught that Freyr loves to laugh & have a good time. The God of partying. Midsommer is associated with him too. Why we dance around the pole, drink party and swim naked on midsommer🥰
