WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:12.679 And we are live. Today is September fifth, twenty twenty four, 2 00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.679 and it is my brother Stevens' birthday today, So happy 3 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:23.760 birthday out there, Bud, out there in Saratoga Springs. We 4 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:25.800 will get started here in just a second. I had 5 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.199 a couple issues, of course, because of the computer that 6 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:35.280 we know about, but we are on now able to 7 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.479 fix it or figure it out. I guess not so 8 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:46.719 much fixed. Hmm. Now there are a couple of things 9 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:51.119 here that I want to go over today. Let me 10 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:59.920 begin by explaining the thumbnail. Okay, are you ready? How's 11 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:07.200 everybody doing this morning? I'm feeling great personally. I slept 12 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:12.799 last night. I'm invigorated. I slept on the recliner instead 13 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:18.319 of that room full of excessive white noise, and I 14 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:23.200 slept very good. All right, So, as I mentioned today 15 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:31.120 September fifth, twenty twenty four, and pardoned me. If the 16 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:38.159 pronunciation is not accurate or perfect, it could be Vdar. 17 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.439 It could be Vidar. Vidar, the Norse god of revenge, 18 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.480 played a vital role in various captivating stories and epics. 19 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.400 He was one of the few gods who possessed the 20 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:58.480 strength and determination to fight for justice and retribution. Ragnarok 21 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.840 was the final battle between the gods and the forces 22 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.079 of chaos. Vidar, the silent god of vengeance, played a 23 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:10.680 crucial role in this apocalyptic event. He was one of 24 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.879 the few gods who survived the battle and helped to 25 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:20.159 rebuild the new world. His silent determination and unwavering resolve 26 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:25.759 made him an inspiration to all. They have killed and 27 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.360 erased the all Father. They have impersonated the noble and 28 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.919 have shown arrogance and hubrist They have co opted the 29 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.639 past and laid claim to our accomplishments and poisoned our culture. 30 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.039 This is Ragnarok. We are here today. We continue the 31 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.599 history of the Citian area aria as I put in 32 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:49.759 there so you know another way spelling it, and reconnect 33 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:54.879 with the builders of civilization, the creators of order within us. 34 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.360 We have the potential to awaken the spirit of Vidar, 35 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:03.120 and we need it right now. Was that a dramatic enough? 36 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.439 We're here, we are here, This is Ragnarok. How well, 37 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.199 the way you want to put it, the end of 38 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.400 the end of everything, the death of the gods. Put 39 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:26.240 it can be saved and on ballbusterers. We do not 40 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.960 advocate criminality in any way shape or form. We have 41 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:43.639 to advocate nobility, integrity, swift, justice and accountability. Consequences appleic 42 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:52.560 eaters with rome, she said, She echoed, and what's up? 43 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:59.080 What's wrong on? It's too many? There you go. Okay, 44 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.159 So we're gonna start off a little video here today. 45 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.039 I'm not one hundred percent I'm sure I agree with 46 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.520 what this person says, but we're just gonna get an 47 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.000 overlay here of what's going on, and then I'm gonna 48 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.079 read it a little bit of the history of Vidar 49 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.959 from the poetic EDAs, and then we will kick off 50 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:30.120 what we were doing before and read Makers of Civilization. 51 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.639 I should have some music or something, little background ambiance. 52 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.079 My daughter left for school a little late today, well 53 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.120 later than usual, so I didn't I had that, and 54 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.720 then I had computer issues, so I didn't really pick 55 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:56.199 out music. Am I looking at the right thing? Damn? 56 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:57.439 Just like this. 57 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.639 And like these? So this is bidar true meaning translation 58 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.759 bidar true meaning. So that's a that's a claim, right. 59 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:15.199 I'd like to keep myself open until I go to 60 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.040 multiple sources and get an overall and then you know 61 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.879 how it goes. If something resonates with you, seems like 62 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.240 it's the truth. Kind of lean with that in my 63 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.319 own perception of it. Don't just ever just say, oh, well, 64 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.399 that's what it is because that's person said so when 65 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.199 they are the expert. So because they said they're the expert. No, 66 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:41.279 that's the trap. Attestations theories of Norse gods and deities, 67 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:50.279 and this is from Nourse magic and beliefs. Okay, okay, okay, 68 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.160 all right, okay do it meanings. 69 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:56.040 Of the gods and deities and the Norse religion. And 70 00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.199 today we are speaking about v Do arguably one of 71 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.759 the most powerful in all the gods, the avenger of odin, 72 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.839 the silent God, the one who really saves the universe 73 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.399 from being devoured at the young Nayruk by Fenrid. And 74 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:16.199 we are speaking today about the translations, attestations and theories 75 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:21.839 about this powerful deity. As usual, the translations first, so 76 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:27.040 they think the most likely etymology vidd is that it 77 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:31.920 comes from the Old Norse vidre meaning wide and head army, 78 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.759 So a wide or broad army could be the original meaning. 79 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.680 Another meaning, and in my opinion, the most likely one 80 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.920 is that vi DoD is related to the Old Norse 81 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.199 vidre meaning tree or wood. It could be would like 82 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.079 a piece of wood or woods like the forest as 83 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.639 a whole, multiple meanings, just like we have in English 84 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.000 and other Germanic languages. They all derived from the Proto 85 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:03.279 Germanic vidus, meaning wood or woods like forest type thing, 86 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:07.680 and it's also related to the Proto Celtic word vidus. 87 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.800 So this could be a very ancient concept that we 88 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.720 used all over the north of Europe. And actually, in 89 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.040 my opinion, this is a much more likely etymology, and 90 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:22.959 it actually explains everything that v DoD represents, some sort 91 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.360 of collective forest or woods spirit, you know, the collective 92 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.560 spiritual energy of the deep untouched woods. You might even 93 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.560 call this woods like a wide army or wide ruler. 94 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.000 So maybe he could have a dual meaning there, and 95 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.000 both translations are correct. But I'll speak about that and 96 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.240 the theories in just a minute. For now, let's just 97 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.800 get onto the Atta stations. First. We could speak about 98 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:54.079 the poetic eta. In Virgospoul, the verva or the sirus 99 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:59.040 tells Odin that his son v DoD will avenge Odin's 100 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.279 death at you by stabbing f in the heart. And 101 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:09.800 that's contrasting to other sources, for example, in va Va 102 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:15.519 states that Vdad will kill Fen by ripping apart his jaws. 103 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.120 Also in this source of v DoD and his brother 104 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:23.120 vadi will both are said to live both in the 105 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:28.000 temples of the gods after sous fire has seceded at 106 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.120 the end of Young Nuduk. So these are two of 107 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:36.279 the gods who survive Young Naduck. Actually v DoD and Vodi. 108 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.279 Another source we have in Grimness Mode, where Odin describes 109 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.240 the land that vdd lives in. Again, we can see 110 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:49.399 here clearly that v did god lives in some type 111 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.000 of forest or wood, but not up in the trees. Right. 112 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.240 V DoD is not a tree spirit and he doesn't 113 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.440 live in the trees like we have numerous other gods 114 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.720 who are said to live in certain trees. But v 115 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:08.240 DoD is that collective forest spirit as a whole. Okay, 116 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:12.720 So he lives along the forest floors, among the grass 117 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.519 and the brush and the twigs. And I'll come back 118 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.039 to all this in just a minute. But finally, v 119 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:23.840 DoD is mentioned in Lucasena after Odin urges him to 120 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:28.720 pour Loki drink after he welcomes him. That's all for 121 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.120 the poetic Ada. That's all the Atta stations we have 122 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.759 of v DoD. We're going to speak about the pros 123 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:38.240 Eta now, which remember was written long after Pagan times 124 00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.480 and written by a Christian, So the prose Eta is 125 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.320 not going to be the most reliable source about the 126 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.360 true Pagan beliefs. But we're going to try and make 127 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.840 sense out of the Atta stations and this source anyway. 128 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.679 And in here v DoD is referred to as the 129 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.240 silent God, and he has a thick shoe, and that 130 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.879 he is nearly as strong as the God thought, and 131 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:06.799 also that the gods rely on him in times of 132 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:11.320 immense difficulties. It says in the pros At a beautiful, beautiful. 133 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:14.360 And that is where we are description there about immense 134 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.240 difficulties v. 135 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.080 DoD, and it sums it up in my opinion. Also 136 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.879 hitlists that V. Dodd's mother is a giant test called Gridi, 137 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.039 the giant test that Odin got with and they made 138 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:29.720 a baby her name. 139 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.759 We are, like the tall girls, are very unsure. 140 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.960 About what it is. But it could mean something like 141 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:41.399 strong passion or violence, or even a secure place or 142 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.399 a treaty. But we just don't know what v DoD's 143 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.559 mother could be. Anybody has any theories about that we 144 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:49.679 would love to hear. Just let us know in the comments. 145 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.799 Also at lists. In the pros Ata, how during hedg 146 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.320 at the final battle, when the wolf Fended will devour Odin, 147 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.360 v DoD is supposed to avenge him by stepping down 148 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.000 with one foot on his lower jaw, grabbing Fender's upper 149 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.559 jaw and ripping his jaws apart, killing him. And it 150 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:18.879 says v does here his thick shoe describes as containing 151 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.639 the extra pieces of leather that humans cut from their 152 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.759 own shoes at the toe and at the heel, and 153 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:29.360 these pieces of leather are collected by the god throughout 154 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:33.879 all times. And this is actually a ritual that I 155 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.879 think was done in order to empower this v DoD 156 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.720 being the forest spirit. Just another minute and I'll explain 157 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:44.000 all of this. And finally, in the pros Eta, v 158 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:49.480 DoD and his brother Vody again survive the floods of 159 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.039 the sea and the fire of suit unleashed at the 160 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:57.000 young Naduk. And they will be completely unharmed. 161 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.200 He said Ragnarok, but he said it with an accent. 162 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.559 And them and some the other survivors will live on 163 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:08.440 the field of after don Rick last thing just before 164 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.159 I go on. There are a few kennings, like all 165 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:16.679 Norse poetical metaphors, where v DoD is attested to as 166 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:21.919 the silent os, the professor, the possessor of the iron shoe, 167 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:28.559 the enemy and slayer of feminisud, the god's avenging oars, 168 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:34.679 the father's homestead inhabiting oss, the son of Odin, and 169 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.840 a brother of the ass Here. So that's about all 170 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:42.320 the attestations for v DoD Onto theories, I'll give you 171 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.960 a couple others that have been proposed by scholars, and 172 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.720 then I'll let you know what I think what my 173 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.559 theory on all this is. Some have suggested that the 174 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.600 myths about v DoD actually reflect some sort of ritual 175 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.240 silence that humans really used to do, that they used 176 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.039 to participate in when they took an oath of vengeance. 177 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.080 We have numerous other sources like this, like say a 178 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.200 father was killed and then the son avenges in things 179 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:09.559 like that. 180 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.559 One of the most like a silent assassin, someone determined 181 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:24.840 shuts off, you know, doesn't go around obnoxiously or overtly expressing, 182 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:29.480 so you know that way, whoever did the killing, did 183 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:33.639 the offense, doesn't see it coming right, doesn't see that 184 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.159 there's somebody who's pretty irritated and out for blood. You know, 185 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:44.720 you just you just silent reserve, calming the outward even 186 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.759 if you're raging inside. There's something to that. You don't 187 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.480 go around making a spectacle of yourself if you have 188 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.919 an if you have an objective, if you have a mission. 189 00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.480 Famous ones being umleff in the Northmen, at least to 190 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.399 a small degree, he took some sort of oath of 191 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.879 silence there at least an oath not to expose his 192 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:10.840 true self and intentions. So yeah, I do like that. 193 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:12.440 Theory about v DoD. 194 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:16.159 Is also that idea like vikings aren't supposed to express 195 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.039 pain outwardly. I suppose to suffering silence when they're being 196 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:23.559 tortured and stuff like that. You know, I don't want 197 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:25.879 it translates over to this, but it could be an 198 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:26.840 aspect of it. 199 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.360 Another one is that v DoD is like a god 200 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.440 of space. He's the spatial god representing the wide space 201 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:40.960 in the cosmos, like kind of being responsible for granting 202 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.440 space to everything and all the space in between. It 203 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.799 also have VDOD fights off offended it that tries to 204 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.120 destroy that space and the result is he saved the 205 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.159 world or the universe from being swallowed. There are also 206 00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:00.919 some equivalents to this v DoD like figure and the 207 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.279 old original Hindu Vedic mythology, so it could be a 208 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:10.919 very very ancient concept. I don't like that theory too much, 209 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.000 but if you do want to read more about it, 210 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:18.320 you can get John Lindo's book or George Domsey's book. 211 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:23.159 But as I said, I would explain me my theory is. 212 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.519 I think it's very clear that v DoD represents some 213 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.679 kind of forest or wood spirit. First of all, it's 214 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.480 his name. You know. Some of the gods have very 215 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.679 cryptic and complex translations of their name, but v DoD 216 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.759 is one of the few that is very straightforward. His 217 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.600 name means either forest or woods, and it could also 218 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:48.120 mean the wide army or the wide ruler, kind of 219 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.559 like a dual meaning. Potentially that this forest spirit that 220 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:56.360 v DoD is is kind of like a vast wide energy, 221 00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.960 like an army like energy that defends from a harmful 222 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:07.759 outside forces, exactly like Vida does. Vida defends from Jangnadek, 223 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.360 and he saves the whole cosmos from being swallowed by 224 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:18.200 Fendri now what Fendedid represents the wolf? Not sure. There 225 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.919 are some theories about this, for example, like relating Fendedi 226 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:30.080 to greed. The wolf of greed symbolizes that death, extinction, 227 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.679 or some sort of darkness that has brought upon the world. 228 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.919 I'll do a whole video about Fendedid and the theories 229 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.639 that I have read about him, But for now, let's 230 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:43.840 just assume that Fendedid is some sort of very powerful 231 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:48.000 destructive force that was able to defeat Odin and kill him. 232 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:54.120 Odin representing our spirit, our frenzy, you know, that's what 233 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.799 his name means, the frenzied one, the ecstatic one, and 234 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:01.279 the the you know, this war ex static spirit that's 235 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:03.720 the deepest layer of the spirits and all of us 236 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.880 and all living things. See my video about Odin where 237 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:12.559 I speak about that a little bit Morendanid was able 238 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.960 to kill this spirit. Fed It was able to kill Odin, 239 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:21.799 being this universal spiritual frenzied energy that helps us in 240 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.440 many journeys in life and death and ritual all these 241 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.759 types of things. But VDD, the spirit of the forest, 242 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.240 was able to overcome this destructive force that is fnded It. 243 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.920 Whatever that may be, right, kind of like how everything 244 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:43.400 else in nature gets destroyed by the events of yung Nayuk, 245 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:47.160 but one thing in nature that will always remain is 246 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:51.240 this forest spirit living in the brush and the grass 247 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:55.319 and the twigs. And even if the fires of soots, 248 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.039 even if massive forest fires comes and it burns down 249 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.640 the whole forest, there is still some life. They are 250 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.119 okay on the forest floor where Vida lives among the 251 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.519 brush and the grass and the twigs and all that stuff. 252 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.640 This might also even be the space that the gods 253 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.480 who survive at young Nduk end up living in after 254 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:21.160 this cataclysmic event, this place called either of it, translating 255 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:26.839 to mean a splendid or magnificent planes or something like that. Now, 256 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:27.880 what has young. 257 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:35.319 Nadk regaining the paradise that we currently live in, only 258 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.359 without the the parasite right. 259 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:46.039 Represents. That's debated too in the scholarly community. What I think, 260 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.279 I'm convinced it is an ice age, and other scholars 261 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:54.279 have theorized similar things that it's kind of like a 262 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:59.519 catastrophic climate event triggered by a series of natural disasters. 263 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.279 I'll do a whole video on Hjavladak, but yeah, for now, 264 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:08.079 let's just say that this disaster destroys the vast majority 265 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:13.640 of nature and humankind, and the places where these gods 266 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:19.480 lived that gets destroyed too. For example, Thor is said 267 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.200 to live in oak trees, right, good Live is said 268 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.680 to live in ye trees, and other gods were said 269 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:31.039 to live in places like groves and lakes and waterfalls 270 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:34.359 and things like that, and all these things can be 271 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.279 burnt down or cease to exist due to a massive 272 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:42.119 fire like surf springs and a cooling period like an eye. 273 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:47.680 It could be like a spirit and not a nature 274 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:51.000 spirit too, that they're referring to lives in the trees 275 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.759 like you sense it and feel it, the presence of 276 00:19:55.160 --> 00:20:01.920 whatever that god represents being there in nature and feeling 277 00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:07.119 the connection, and they attribute it to a god aspect. 278 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:09.960 That could be a wave looking at it. I don't know. 279 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:18.240 So somebody asks about this, see, I believe it's some 280 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.839 sort of zodiac side on the outside. I'm not one 281 00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:22.720 hundred percent sure. I think he's gone over it before 282 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:27.599 in the past, but I'll look into that ice age. 283 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.519 So at that time those gods would have been perceived 284 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.519 to be dead too, just like they died at the 285 00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:39.680 young LETTERC. But some gods survive, and they are the 286 00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:43.359 gods whose spiritual energy resides in places that would actually 287 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:47.559 survive a climate disaster. Again, long video for another day, 288 00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:51.079 but you get my points about the god. He is 289 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:54.119 the energy that lives in a certain place that survives 290 00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:58.359 any kind of natural disaster like that. He's also the 291 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:02.000 silent god, like the worst floor who makes no noise, 292 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.240 kind of like if a tree falls in the middle 293 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.160 of the woods, does it really make a noise that 294 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:10.599 old saying? And v DoD also takes a silent oath. 295 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:13.240 If a tree falls on the forest, does thor who 296 00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:15.279 lives in it fall off. 297 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:20.519 When he gets on his quest of vengeance, just like 298 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:26.279 when the forest and the undergrowth silently grows back after 299 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.640 it maybe all gets burned down or destroyed. So those are. 300 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:35.799 Just my thanks to fungi mycilium transporting the nutrients thoughts. 301 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.960 Before I finish, I told you guys that I would 302 00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.920 also speak about a ritual we can do. Remember in 303 00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:47.079 the pros Eda it has said how humans save their 304 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:50.480 spare pieces of leather and they gave it to v 305 00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:54.119 DoD so he could construct his shoe to kill feminitid with. 306 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.759 So we think that this could be a real ritual 307 00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:02.079 done by humans. You take pieces of your shoe and 308 00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:05.680 leave this as an offering to v dot and you 309 00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.680 leave it in the woods or in the twigs, or 310 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.440 wherever you think v Dot lives in order to give 311 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.200 v dot at that strength to prepare him for Jagnaduk 312 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.799 and his battle with Feenity. It this is just my idea, 313 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.759 but it's kind of building up upon what other scholars 314 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:27.200 have theorized about this, and also a bit of you know, 315 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:31.279 agricultural you know, regeneration science. So you know, we can 316 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:35.319 leave these offerings for v dot leather pieces. Okay, don't 317 00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:39.720 go littering the forest with trimmings from your crappy rubber shoe. Okay, 318 00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:42.720 don't litter anything that is not good for nature for 319 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:47.920 that matter. But if we leave pieces of leather in 320 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.880 the soil, there's actually some research that shows that this 321 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:55.279 is really good for the soil. Some modern studies have 322 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.720 been done on this and regenerative farming. And it has 323 00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.000 to be it has to be the right leather though 324 00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:05.359 it can't be dyed or oiled or has other chemicals. 325 00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:08.440 Has to be pure natural leather. But when you do that, 326 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:13.240 it can have very beneficial effects to the soil, just 327 00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:17.640 like we leaving these offerings, it would empower this v DOT, 328 00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:21.920 this spirit that is the forest floor, but people using 329 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.319 their leather scraps and composts and soil. This has actually 330 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:28.319 been a tradition for a long time, and perhaps we 331 00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:32.880 think even an ancient ritual related to v DOT whatever, 332 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.519 That's what I believe. So I take some leather scraps 333 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:42.000 like this sometimes that you know are relatively untouched, like 334 00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.319 what my drums are made of. For example, I have 335 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.240 some extra leather scraps from there, and I go out 336 00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:50.039 in the woods and bury them in some places. But 337 00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.160 like I said, don't litter or leave any toxic or 338 00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:57.880 bad materials anywhere. But yeah, I believe that strengthens the 339 00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:02.200 forest undergrowth and the spirit there that is v DoD 340 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.359 super important because v DoD is basically the only reason 341 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.880 we are able to survive Jong Nayuk and whatever disaster. 342 00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:19.960 The silent vengeful spirit consequences. Accountability, retribution is the only 343 00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:28.880 way we survive Ragnarok, not by voting for the lesser 344 00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:33.359 of two evils, not by hoping it fixes itself or 345 00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:38.240 waiting for white hats to arrive none of that. We 346 00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:43.119 have to take responsibility for ourselves locally, and if we 347 00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:45.839 all did that, things would change. 348 00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:49.720 Sure that has come for humans and will happen again. 349 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.319 It has happened many times over the ages. It goes cyclical. 350 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.599 These things happen all the time, and they will happen again. 351 00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.839 They think the last one happened in about the three hundreds, 352 00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.279 and that's actually what the Young Lightduck could be in 353 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:08.079 part based on the climate disasters and changes that happened 354 00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.799 at that time during the migration period. And on a 355 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:16.319 small scale, I believe another one is coming quite soon, 356 00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:19.200 perhaps even on the bigger scale. But I believe these 357 00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:23.279 rituals and practices around the Young Nightduck they can help 358 00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.240 us survive as best we can. I've gone over a 359 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:27.559 few of these already. 360 00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:32.960 Could been something celestial that hit, and maybe we'll talk 361 00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.240 about some of the things that are floating around some 362 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:42.519 stories about an asteroid, asteroid Apophus, and some other things 363 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:46.920 they're talking about. I think another small asteroid that they 364 00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:48.599 said is going to hit as well. 365 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.559 You can see the ritual I spoke about in the 366 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.240 video I did about fray it, and I think there's 367 00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:58.039 another one here with Vita leaving out the leather to 368 00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:00.920 the forest spirits to make sure the poor rusk can survive, 369 00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:05.599 and in results, we will survive any disaster that come. 370 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:07.960 But yeah, those are just my thoughts. Let me know 371 00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.480 what you guys think. The next video I will make 372 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.799 on the daganok or something related to that. But yeah, 373 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.559 let me let me know your thoughts about Vida, do 374 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:18.799 you Okay? 375 00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:28.880 There? That's good, nice little introduction to this topic. And 376 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:50.079 all right, Jesus, I want to start with, so what 377 00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:58.200 powers does Vdar have? Vdar possesses several notable powers and 378 00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:02.400 attributes that set him a part as a formidable deity 379 00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:08.640 among the Assyric gods. His powers reflect his role as 380 00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:12.920 as the god of something sorry, his powers reflect his 381 00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:16.680 role as the god of vengeance. His most notable power 382 00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:20.720 is that of immense physical strength and expertise in combat, 383 00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:23.960 second only to Thor in terms of physical might. His 384 00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:29.039 incredible strength is one of his defining features. While technically 385 00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:34.559 not a power in traditional sense, Vdar exhibits incredible durability 386 00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.960 and resilience. It is not just physical resilience in which 387 00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:44.920 he excels, but also metaphorical resilience. It is this attribute 388 00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.400 that allows him to survive the cataclysmic events of Ragnarok 389 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:52.960 and play a role in the birth of the New World. 390 00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:56.599 Who were his parents? He kind of went over that 391 00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:59.839 Vidar is a son of Odin, which makes him half 392 00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.519 brother to both the god of thunder Thor and the 393 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.480 god of mischief Loki. His mother was a giant test 394 00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:13.839 Giant Tests Greeter or Greeter. I think that's Greeder, who 395 00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:17.839 is famed for lending Thor some of her armaments, including 396 00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.559 her belt, staff and iron gloves. These armaments aided on 397 00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:26.359 his quest to kill Giud. I'm sure I'm not pronouncing 398 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.200 that correctly, But what is his role in Ragnarok? In 399 00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:36.319 Ragnarok's climate. In Ragnarok's climatic lore, where many of the 400 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.480 most famous Norse deities play a key role, Vdar takes 401 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:46.160
