Odin Explained: Runes and Magic
Buy the Great Rebellion on Steam now at https://store.steampowered.com/app/27...
Returning to the topic of the highest god, Odin. First I address why the Romans weren't entirely wrong when they compared him to Mercury/Hermes. Then I present my theory about how Odin learned the nine sacred songs called Galdra and why this is related to his role as the god of the runes. The dankest god, Odin, and esoteric theories go together like runes and galdra. I look at the origins of runes themselves and the usage of runes in conjunction with galdra and thus seek to solve the mystery of the runes and the god who first learned them on the world tree.

How to be a REAL Norse Heathen
Most people WON'T tell you this! There are many guides on how to start practising the Germanic pagan religion known as Odinism, Asatru or Heathenry, but not all of them are very accurate. Enrol in my online micro-learning course to get a reliable introduction to Heathen ritual.

The Origin and Purpose of Blue Eyes
Why do some people have blue eyes? What is the evolutionary advantage of having blue eyes? Where did blue eyes evolve? Blue eyes have piqued curiosity for centuries, standing out as a mesmerising and rare trait among humans. Discover the underlying science behind blue eyes as we explore various theories and genetic factors that contribute to their existence. They were mainly associated with Mesolithic Western Hunter Gatherers like Cheddar man but the origin and story of this phenotype is complicated. A new study from Liverpool may have the answer as to what benefit this trait has - better ability to see in low light.

Celtic, Germanic and Iranic: Torcs
The torc or torque was a status symbol for Celts, Thracians, Persians and Scythians in the Iron Age. But where does the torc originate? The oldest torcs appear in the late European Bronze Age.

The Elgin Marbles were NOT Stolen from the Parthenon! 🇬🇷🇬🇧
A sneaky criminal pinched my wallet when I visited the Parthenon in Greece. Don't make the same mistake I did. In this video I visit the Panathenaic stadium, the Olympeion temple of Zeus, I talk about the Elgin marbles, then I climb the Acropolis to the Parthenon and the the Erechtheion. Athens is a beautiful city with an amazing history so don't be put off by the criminals.

Semitic Norman DNA DEBUNKED
Norman origins.
Were the Normans French or were they Vikings? DNA may reveal the answers but so far only two studies have looked at Norman DNA and there are problems with both. In this video I look at two Norman Y haplogroup studies to see what we can learn and I debunk the claim that J2a in Europe comes from "ancient Semitic kings"

Odin Rituals in the 19th century: Analogue horror
Folklorists in 19th century England and Sweden recorded ancient pagan rituals of hanging animals in trees, in accordance with known ritual sacrifices for the Viking god Odin. The pagan rituals survived for much longer than people realise!

Black Plague Victims DEBUNKED
A new article from The Guardian has claimed, based on research by Dr Rebecca Redfern, that many plague victims in medieval London were black Africans and that this is because of racism. However, a look at the sources justifying this claim reveals it cannot stand up to scrutiny.

Origin of Stone Circles 7000 years ago | Prehistory Documentary 🇫🇷
Who built the first stone circles? The megalith builders of Brittany - from the migration and rise of the first farmers to the demise of the culture. This feature length documentary shows how the famous megalithic monuments of Britain and Ireland, such as Stonehenge, derive from many earlier ones in Brittany. Who were the first farmers in France? Why did they start building the impressive megalithic chambered tombs or the enormous standing stones known as menhirs? This documentary looks at the world's first tombs, some close to 7000 years old, and traces the development of the dolmens and other tombs from 5000 BC to 2700 BC. We also learn how the first farmers interacted with the Mesolithic Western Hunter Gatherers who were already there, and how they may have influenced this megalithic monument tradition. Learn how the exquisite jadeite ax heads of the Neolithic were symbols of power imported from the far away Alps. We visited the tombs of Gavrinis, Petit Mont, Table des Marchands, the Barrow tomb of Kercado and the truly ancient Saint-Michel tumulus among others. You will also learn about the 4 mile long alignments of Carnac and what they were made for. The adventure starts at the 9 maidens stones in Cornwall and ends on the stunning coasts of Morbihan in Brittany.

Ancient Rituals Unearthed : Sacrifices Beneath the Floor
Animal sacrifice under the home?
Grab Atlas VPN for just $1.83/mo+ 3 months extra before the BIG DEAL expires: https://get.atlasvpn.com/Jive
The custom of burying an animal under the foundations of a house is not only very widespread; found in Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, Finland and beyond, but is also very old, dating back to the Indo-Europeans of the Bronze Age Europe. It even spread as far away as America and India! In this video I trace the customs origins and dispersal and explain the magical function of the animal and human sacrifices underneath the home.

Debunking the BBC's Horrible Black History
The BBC produced a song for the Horrible Histories children's program called 'Been Here From the Start' which makes several spurious, misleading and outright false claims about black people living in ancient Britain. From Cheddar man to Septimius Severus and the Moors, I debunk the lies contained in the BBC video and present the truth.
Clips of the BBC video are included under UK fair dealing law which allows such use for criticism of the copyrighted material.

How to set up a Heathen Altar in your Home : Paganism 101
A guide on setting up a heathen altar to the Norse/Germanic gods in your home. How to arrange an altar for the gods, different kinds of domestic altars according to the recommendations of three of the most important heathen organisations in the English speaking world (The Odinist Fellowship, The Norroena society, Ealdríce Théod), where to put your altar in your house, what items you need to have, what kind of altar cloth, where to put the hlautbolli, what kind of idols to use, where to put the mead horn etc.
I will also show you my personal altar set up. This video is full of ideas and tips for new pagans but I hope will also be useful for the seasoned practitioner. If you want more Paganism 101 video guides then let me know in the comments.

6000 year old monument DESTROYED for a new shop!
Brittany in France has one of the densest concentrations of megalithic monuments in the world but hundreds if not thousands have been destroyed - approximately 45% of them are gone in parts of Brittany. Now we have lost 39 menhirs which were destroyed to make room for a Mr. Bricolage hardware store!

Real life Wicker Man Ritual - Earl of Rone DOCUMENTARY
The Hunting of the Earl of Rone is an ancient ceremony in the village of Combe Martin in England which resembles the film “The Wicker Man”. Although local legend has it that the ceremony derives from the capture of the Earl of Tyrone who fled from Ireland in 1607, I demonstrate in this documentary that it has clear parallels in European pagan customs and in Hinduism, which proves that the procession, the hobby horse, the fool, and the drowning of the straw idol originate in pre-Christian seasonal Anglo-Saxon rites.

Does Easter come from a pagan goddess?
Easter comes originally from the name of a pagan Anglo-Saxon goddess called Ēostre. This video tells you all there is to know about her and also looks at other Indo-European dawn goddesses around Europe and Asia to whom she is related!

The World's Oldest Myth? Afterlife Documentary
Through comparative mythology we can reconstruct the earliest Indo-European beliefs about the cosmos and the afterlife as far as 6000 years back. but Indo-European religion has many features in common with Siberian and Native American religions. These three groups all share common ancestry from an ice-age population called Ancient North Eurasians, so we can even reconstruct cosmological beliefs of a Siberian people 20,000 years ago! This film helps you to understand the most ancient and fundamental pagan beliefs concerning death, the underworld and reincarnation.
Thanks to Jack Jones, Graman, Christian Sloan Hall and Pete Amachree for contributing original works of art for this film. Links to their work and to that of other contributing artists as well as a list of sources for the film are all on my blog: https://survivethejive.blogspot.com/2022/07/indo-european-and-ancient-north.html
