Landvaettir: Nature Spirits within the Norse Faith

Instagram: @thewisdomofodin

The gods are not always with us. They come and go throughout our lives as we need them, and they need us. One constant in our lives can be the nature we are surrounded by.

This is something that our ancestors realized in pre-christian Scandinavia. There are many stories about people giving offerings to waterfalls, and sacred groves to help with the day to day problems that challenge us all.

In this video, I visit and land spirit that I know in my state, I show you an offering that I give. Along with some readings from Myths and Symbols in Pagan Europe.

I hope you enjoy my journey through the woods, and the stories I have to share!

I believe in the Faeries and all Nature Spirits. I have seen them with my own eyes. I love that you made this video. Over the last few years, there has been a resurgence of people connecting with the Fae and Nature Spirits. People are seeing that they are approachable and able to work with them on a daily bases to connect with the land and they are not these evil little beings that many tried to make them out to be.

Very happy I found this chanel, I've always felt a pull towards Norse Paganism I've always studied it on my own time but within the last couple of months I've really decided to study the religion aspect of it I've always believed in something but couldn't figure out what it was. I think I finally found it and your channel has made it so much easier.

I’m just recently coming across the concept of Landvaettir. My family has always had a deep connection to nature and I believe that to be in part to the origins of my name.

Glad to see a similar soul so close to home. Gives me hope for the faith to grow.

I grew up in the Wyoming Rockies, but for years I've lived in hot and humid eastern Oklahoma. I feel your pain in that southern heat.

A thing about balance is that, if you're thinking about those old-timey "libra" scales, what really makes them work is a strong central pillar. It's he steadiness of the pillar that makes judgement possible. The gods are much the same, they are (IMO) standards to which we can return to weigh the balance of our light and dark, sorrow and joy, rage and humor.

Onet thing that made me belive in some kind of natural spyrits is not only wierd experiences I had, but also mountains. The second you stop respecting them or say something unrespectful, say that this road is to easy etc, a shitty thing happends with you, so you better respect mountains, I have always found that it worked, in a wierd way. It is not even that you should be cautious, but if you are not respectful, it will always get back on you.
