- In this video, I discuss the pluralistic idea of the Saxon soul. All words below can be found throughout the Heliand.

*****The example of the ferah enclosing the seola is in lines 3350-3353. In this passage, a wretched man's ferah is taken by the angels, and his seola is set in Abraham's bosom, implying that the ferah, departing from the body, encloses the seola.
Admittedly, I became more influenced by my decision to say "protect" after I looked at the Old Norse cognates.
Nevertheless, I think the example with ferah/seola above could be taken to mean that the ferah is that which houses the seola. But again, all of this is difficult to deal with.

This video is awesome. I'm gonna recommend it and send people your way!
I really appreciate it! Thank you. I have another video coming out tonight where I am going to discuss the meaning of Proto-Germanic wōðanaz (Odin).
Kind of a funny moment of synchronicity here...when I set up my camera, I noticed that there were two runes carved into the trees behind me. I have no idea who carved these into the tree. The tree in the middle has a berkano rune (this can be seen in the video) and the tree to the right of me has a laguz rune. It's interesting how these places find us.
I thought you carved them in. I also saw what looks like a single eye on the tree to the left. VERY interesting video mate cheers :)
@@kev1734 Thank you! It was so interesting. I assure you that it wasn't me. I would have no problem taking credit for this ;)
That crazy “Norse Magic and Beliefs” guy brought me here! Compelling topic! 💪🏻😎
Thank you!
Outstanding video
@ToTheStars Thank you!
Fascinating stuff!
Made a lot clear. Especially where some Dutch words came from:
Likhamo = lichaam = body
Gêst = geest = ghost
Uuod = kwaad = furious
Woedend
I love this guy.
Found your channel through Old Norse Magic. Great stuff! I have Saxon and Scandinavian ancestry so I find this material fascinating
Bloody good this, mate. Cheers for the effort. I'm seeing a Crawford influence here with the setting. Well chosen. Superb information, Sir. Thank you very much.
This is super cool. Thank you for sharing. I'm really into the water bit, and your break down of location and abilities, and different compound words that you know of. All so informative and I'm sure I do not have the knowledge of language nor exposure to resources to find them on my own. Thank you.
mod-container and mod-will remind me of plurality. I find that online spaces have communities using the language of DID & OSDD to describe their internal experiences, but in the secular paradigm a brokeness must be not only assumed, but proven. (Traumatized enough to earn validity of experience.) It is a disease being described, a label. I like how this has room for complex internal experiences and possibly external spiritual experiences (if here is a clear inside-outside delimitation) that can be part of a perfectly healthy and holistic personhood complex.
Norse magic and beliefs brought me here too!
Sooo glad to have found you.
Thank you for your dedication and uploads.
I am Germanic on both sides, and the spirit of the ancestors runs very deep.
I look fwd to learning further and deeper 🙏🙏🙏💪
Awesome video Thank you
Of course!
Very interesting, thank you!
Great video, very informative, thx Norse Magick n Beliefs for bringing me here.
Thx Scott for your time n effort, keep up the great work
Norse magic and beliefs sent me! Great video!
Gest makes sense that it can move in space. When you look at Dutch and German, the word for ghost (one could say: a moving soul) it translates to Dutch ‘geest’ and German ‘geist’ :)
Yes I caught that too!!
Great post!
Spirit Soul/ghost of the self
My Oma and Opa didn’t teach their children their language. I benefit and suffer from this
Yeah, that’s pretty common. Unfortunate, though.
That was most interesting. Do you have any information or personal thoughts about the ‘hugham’? How was it used, by whom, for what purpose(s), and why. Thanks
The hugham is just the Norwegian idea of the hugr + hamr. According to Bente Alver, the hugham often merges with that of the fylgja. The most difference between these concepts is their function in relation to human beings and the world at large. Although the hugham and the fylgja often have the same appearance, the hug and hugham lead very unstable lives between the individual and the surroundings and can be consciously controlled, while the fylgja is passive, and people have very little control over them.
How do you not have more views?
It's just not "trendy" enough. It doesn't have to do with Vikings, Marvel's depiction of Loki or clad Valkyries.
My guess is also that the content just isn't shared that much.
@@scottt.shellcontinentalger2464 I think if people would find it more then it should get similar views to e.g. Crawford.
Great video. A question though; when you refer to mut or mood, do you mean ”endeavor” or ”aspiration”? In swedish heathenry, we often (nowadays) talk about ”Strävan”, a will to become, transcend, and it would be fascinating if philisophy and old concepts of the soul are so intertwined.
Subbed, and ready for more!
I can see a connection to Old Saxon "mod" meaning something like "aspiration" in certain contexts.
That’s interesting...
What we mood (our mood or our perspective on something) becomes our direction with that element and therefore can truely change our soul outcomes. It can change our aspirations based (our mood) circumstance based and create reflected direction. (perspective reflected as emotion. Emotion is energy in motion: the souls direction) Incredible!
Great video!!! Any connection to Dr Jackson Crawford? Got a new viewer from me!
The only connection I have to Jackson is that he was my instructor at UC Berkeley for Icelandic.
@@scottt.shellcontinentalger2464 once you mentioned UC Berkeley I immediately thought of him! Small world! Thank you for your reply
I've yet to purchase a copy of the Heliand... are these described in chronological order, like your video, in the Heliand? I need to get a copy, but I've hesitated due to the overwhelming xtian influence/suggestive nature...I figured I need to ground myself with historical lore before confounding it into twisted xtian views. No offense Christians.
Nah, these words appear all over in the Heliand. Of course, though, I'm giving you the Old Saxon and explaining the different soul parts as how they appear in context. If you read a translation, you're going to see 'soul' and 'spirit' a lot throughout. If you read German, I can recommend an article or two for you which outlines OS soul parts.
@@scottt.shellcontinentalger2464 better at reading than speaking... I've got around 600 words right now in my vocabulary, not to good with conversations, but reading/translating might help me with my German. I'd be grateful for any advice
Are you sure all these words aren't just poetic synonyms? In the same way a modern writer would use soul, spirit, essence, self, anima, quintessence, nature, psyche, conscience, etc. to write about the same things?
I guess I wonder about the exegesis that belief really existed in "soul parts" and not in a single soul with many names and epithets.
Good question, but no, I don't think so. I have looked at these words and all of their distributions in the Heliand text, and they are distinct. I even went as far as writing explications (NSM semantic theory) for all of the parts for a paper when I was at Berkeley.
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌
What is this talk about heaven and hell and angels. Our ancestors didn’t believe in angels. At least not the pagan ones.
