Welcome to The Wisdom of Odin! I’m Jacob Toddson, and I created this channel to explore ancient wisdom and spiritual practices from around the world. My journey began with Norse Paganism, and now I travel globally, uncovering knowledge on historical religions, shamanism, plant medicines, and various spiritual paths. Together, we explore how these ancient teachings can inspire and guide us toward a more balanced and meaningful future.

On this channel, I aim to foster unity and understanding across spiritual traditions, beyond boundaries of race, sexuality, gender, or politics. You’ll find an inclusive, open-minded space free from divisive content, drama, and bias. Join me as we discover and share the timeless wisdom that can heal and uplift us all.

Believe it or not Brother, Odin has guided me to you. You and your teachings. I can see Odin speak through you. That is something to be celebrated. It is quite the honor. Thank you for providing your wisdom and knowledge to us!

as a 15 year old trying to convert i feel like i was guided me to you thank you for all this information

[stoneghost]

I see it. A large hall with my brothers and sisters around me, all of our folk, drinking from curved horns, and telling tales of the Gods. You represent our folk very well, keep doing good work!

I'm new norse pagan and Gods guided me to you because they know you are going to do GREAT things for them (GODS) and us who want to follow this path. Hail Óđinn!

Hello, I’m new to deities. I grew up Christian but don’t practice that religion or any other currently. I hope to learn a lot from your channel to help me on my journey of finding my gods and or goddesses. Thank you for making these videos!

I have been conflicted for so long about how to "properly" set up my altar. I have sent myself into desparate panic about it several times until today. Today, it has snowed here in Texas. One of the only 2 times I have ever seen it snow in this part of Texas, and on the night before the new moon. I have recently been brought into the faith by the gods, and Skadi in particular, and today I could feel her presence and wanted once again to try to perfect my altar. As I sat, frustrated with myself, I was drawn to your channel and this video in particular. You have helped me so much today, and I know the gods have guided me here. Thank you for everything you do

[animalbrained]

you probably get this a lot, but your channel here makes me so incredibly happy. you’re such a jolly guy and even though i didn’t start in this path initially, your cheeriness and helpful nature have been a great help in aiding me as i wander across practices. thank you, and i wish you all the best.

The warm glow from the candle, your voice, the feeling of the moment from the offering, it’s like I am there with you feeling the love of the Gods flow through me, I am so grateful for your channel and all you do as I am starting my path towards Norse Paganism.

[alaskabornheathen]

I’m fairly new to becoming an active pagan. I suppose I have been hesitant about “worshipping” the Gods. But I suppose this manner of offering or similar manners conducted outdoors could be used to contact with any spirit. I’ve been having issues with spirituality too. Coming from a belief that the world is black and white to accepting Animism it’s taking some time. I hope I can eventually connect with spirits. I purchased some votives to use as I cannot stand the odor of burning sage haha, and have really been dragging my feet on using those. I make artisan bread for a living, perhaps I should make some as an outdoors offering. Thanks for the video!

[dexscottxboxlive]

The way the candle flickers as you end your speech to Bragi! You can feel his presence even in a video!

[lapisinfernalis]

"I can hide it from my mother." That sounds like me.

[TheShadowMoonWitch]

I'm not the only person with constant cat interruptions in my videos. lol Thank you for sharing this. I always leave my offerings in my yard. I have an ash tree that it special to me in my back yard. Often I will leave fruit of veggies that my children didn't quite finish. I am also very fond of burning incense for offerings. Good look with your Ostara gathering!

[allie]

Pretty new to paganism and still doing a lot of exploration but I came across your videos recently and they are such a good, day to day, down to Earth example of bringing the gods into daily life! Thank you for everything that you have done to teach and share. I love learning more about the history and reality of this ancient way of being and you do such a great job with research. May the gods watch over you.

...As I was watching this, it started pouring rain outside of my home. I saw one of the brightest flashes of lightening and immediately after, the loudest thunder I've ever heard. I'm just a new learner of the Nordic teachings, but I instinctual got up from my chair, grabbed a square bottle from my room, and ran to my front door. I stood on my porch with the rain still coming down in sheets, and saw another flash off in the mountains and this LOUD, long rumble of thunder as I looked. I ran out into the rain and scooped up some of the running water into my bottle and corked it. I think I now possess the perfect spiritual object for my alter... I felt it was a storm lord finding me, watching this video, and sending me a sign... I grew up Christian and I've NEVER had an experience like that before.

[cherishbensley]

I currently started a journey to find my path here on earth. The videos that I have watch so far have been so intriguing. Everytime you have spoke to the gods I have gotten goosebumps all over. I feel like I belong here and that I'm ready to truly start my spiritual journey.
Thank you!

[balintklesch]

It was wonderful to see how you're actually make a sacrifice, how you're worship and talk to the Gods, follow the old way. Thank you brother!
I actually think that Odin has guided me to you.

[aarinsanity]

I asked Odin in my first attempt reaching out for guidance on learning to be a Norse Pagan. I am very glad that I was led to you as you have helped me understand that not everything has to be this way or that. As someone who used to be Christian you can understand why I may feel this way. Again I wanted to thank you for your videos and your teachings.

[lionessdragon-heart]

Something i would recommend is cleansing your space each time you give an offering. Any energies that are unpleasant can be made neutral by the sage he burned in the video.

[stormy]

May Bragi bless you in preparation for your gathering and I personally hope it goes really well. I only discovered your videos the other day and I was so glad to see such an honest, refreshing, and authentic approach to practical Norse paganism. Keep up the amazing work brother!

[Yougotalighter]

Odin has been reaching out to me, and my friend maid me realise, and now I am on his path and he has brought me to you're teachings, I am very greatful, thank you
