Hi from Turkey. I am only a 17 year old student but I have been interested in Norse mythology for over 5 years. One day I really want to go to Iceland or one of the Scandinavian countries and hear these stories from a native person. This is probably one of my biggest dreams. I also want to say thank you for giving us this informations for free because it is hard for me to find good information on this subject. Thanks again.
Pure ancient paganism.....😒
This translated material explains better, that strange paganism of ancient times. Watch it carefully. Comment later. Turn on subtitles. Thank you.

They was called The Varangians guard.

Och mina. Skål tamigfan 🍻🍻
Ben isveçte yaşıyorum ve İzlanda'ya gittim. Ayrıca viking mitolojisi üzerine tez yazmıştım. Instagram'ınzı yazarsanız irtibata geçebiliriz?
I love your enthusiasm.
Hrafna, your standard of integrity shows in your character. Outstanding balance of facts and figures are amazing. Thanks for sharing your story with us that are your fans. Outstanding job young lady.
What "facts"? Runes don't have meanings beyond lexicographical information. Attesting "meanings" to them is new-age neopagan bs not supported by any archaeology or historical attestations. This video is so full of misinformation. Ask any accredited Ph.D in the field and they will tell you the same.
@@norsecarolina Misinformation? if she doesn't know how that it could be, even worse u do it. And all your archaeologists either. Therefore, not knowing about something does not mean runes don't have that extra information. Through all history, many nobel prizes scientists were wrong about several things (Rutherford, Bohr). The truth is beyond TITLES and degrees!!! I know someone who knows so much more than any Ph.D and she's not pointing fingers on others. Evidences of NO effects also should be given to be discarded at all. Human beings study a little, think so much of themselves, they're not able to proof anything effectivelly and also think of being authorities of something. LESS ARROGANCE could bring more evolution. Does not take ur time making reply 'cause I WON'T read it!!!
@@eudescelestino Something tells me you don't do a lot of reading anyway.
Outstanding until you realizes Elder Futhark was used very limited during Viking Age.
@@norsecarolina that's probably your inflated ego telling you that
Oh I love this. I’m from Slovakia, so Norse Mythology has nothing to do with my culture, but I love it so much and I try to educate it by myself and you help me a lot. 😊
Slavic culture is very fascinating. Just sayin' and I'm not Slavic, German-Norwegian from N. America
Runes are not considered Norse Mythology
Its alphabet / language
Aryan
Oooops. When you spoke of Dagaz you actually showed a pendant with Othala. 😊
I noticed it too!
I caught that too.
Almost like this video was made to sell jewelry and not give credible information! Runes were never used for anything other than spelling words. There is zero archaeological or historical evidence for them having any "meanings". The 'rune poems' have been explained by scholars as mnemonics to aid a barely literate society. As an archaeologist in the field, this video is full of misinformation and does more harm than good.
Hrafna is very obviously trying to lean into the "vikingbro" crowd to sell jewelry, not actually explain norse runes.
Oops, Sorry! Thank you for pointing that out! Still just a beginner when it comes to runes❤️
@@Hrafna No worries! I tried to be tactful with my comment so I didn’t seem like I was scolding you. 😊
Thank you Miss! My ancestry is from Danmark. My grandfather told me where he was from in Danmark but over the years I have forgotten. Its nice someone from Scandinavia! Im 1/8 Dane on my fathers side. Im currently polishing jet stones but have no boiled linseed oil or lamp black to fill the pores of the stones. Im 63 years old and formerly painted in oils. I also am photographer.
I love listening to you talk. Thank you for sharing your heritage with all of us! ❤️
It really great how you explain everything. Iceland has a truly amazing history and culture.
This is incredible, thank you. As a practicing Norse pagan, this is a great video to reinforce my magickal journey.
You should know then that the Vikings had nothing to do with making the Runes. And in fact, never used the Elder Futhark. What a bunch of id0ts in the information age.
@@stevegoldberg2897 so who invented and used runes ?
@@jemand7488 So far as we know, no one. They evolved out of Italic or Etruscan. But they were in use 1,000 year before Vikings existed, and stopped being used centuries before Viking even existed. So it makes no sense at all to call them "Viking Runes". This lady is Scandinavian and does not know a thing about her heritage. She only wants to sell her $1 Chinese Rune jewelry for $300.
@@stevegoldberg2897 So what is written on the RUNEstones in Sweden then?

I love how spontaneous you are in your videos. I know your prepare them but your way is so refreshing. I feel like if I was with a cup of coffee seated in front of you talking about Island. Thanks 🗡️
LMAO I was just looking up what viking runes to use as my first tattoo some minutes ago and then this came up
big brother is watching you
Þ used to be called "thorn" when it was used in Old English.
Oak ash thorn birch and yew are all represented in Anglo futhark the first three are considered sacred in English folklore
@@elwolf8536 Yew is incredibly important in this respect, and is found churchyards throughout the British Isles including Ireland, and even the Normandy area of France. The yew trees are sometimes older than the churches!
@@ianstobie absolutely! it's sed back in the day mastiff dogs were burid under them to offer protection to the church/graveyard. Might be the origins of the black dogs or shuk ledgands
Old norse is based on old english. ð comes from latin and þ from greek. It s not scandinavian actually.
@@ianstobie That is because they were Sacred Groves used by Pagans. Then they built the churches there to "clean" the locations.
Hey there. Thank you for the informative video. I've been eager to learn about ancient nordic culture for sometime, and I really liked the description of each rune, as well as hearing your pronunciations of them. I can't wait for you to make a part #2. 😁
Im old so ive been around the block a few times, this is one of those rare gems where the sponsor makes 100% perfect sense for the host, sponsor and viewers :)
"Þorr jarðar burr hlórriði einriði"
"Thor, Earth's son, the Thundering Storm, He who travels alone"
I hope i am right about the translation @zare_the_gloomy_bastard
I love that I discovered this channel. About a year ago I learned about my Norse heritage and I love to learn about it. It’s become a large part of my life and you make learning about it very interesting and fun!!!!! Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
We used to call it Aryan
but the word was changed and the history was erased
I always love your pronunciation videos. Thanks for opening the door to a wider world!
Thank you,I read my runes every so often. Thank you.blessings to You.
The moment you realise that you were drawing this runes when you were little, way before discovering viking culture... WOW me
Thank you so much Hrafna for managing to share with us so many beautiful info on your channel
Viking culture has nothing to do with the Runes!
@@stevegoldberg2897 Nothing to do is very wrong. Vikings wrote in the elder futhark, engraved their weapons/armor, and embroidered it in their clothing. I'm sure they used runes in plenty of other places as it was their only written language.
Uhhh I just saw your "How to pronounce the Norse Gods' names" video again and now this!
This is so cool! I am interested in Runes myself and I have been reading a book about them in my spare time. I can't wait for part 2!
I have fallen so in love with your channel. It is making me feel so much more connected to my icelandic roots !
Awesome video, Thanks alot!
We definitely need part 2 (not just cus this video made me bring all books about Nordic Runes that I bought reicently, such as "Nordic Runes" by Paul Rhys Mountfort)
I had a spark in my mind if You could make a video about Your ancestors Hrafna, who they were and some stories about Your family.
Shout out to all "For Honor" fans from Viking faction :D
is it me or does Hrafna for some reason look so hot when she talk about runes 😍
All about the Futhark-runes and their variations is really fascinating. I research a lot about history and yes I love the band Heilung as many rune-interested people. Researching about why the old cultures named their runes as we know them and why they have these meanings is one of my favourite topics. The problem is that many runes are forbidden here in Germany because of the NS-regime. In the 30s they used runes like Tiwaz, Algiz or Sowilo to support their imaginations of the world. It's really sad that such beautiful symbols have become signs of danger just because of fanatism. Personally I believe in runic magic because of many experiences and I do rituals like protecting or supporting spells but because of our society's connection to this topic I need to hide it not to be called a devil summoner.
Very informative and yes I agree you should do a part two of this video. Really love the way you sound
Very informative thank you! Just got my son's names in Elder Futhark tattooed on me. Going in next week for a modern rendition of Jörmungandr. Thank you again ❤️
You never would have seen a norseman with a tattoo
Tattoos were for slaves back then
@@je-freenorman7787that is plain nonsense. Ibn Fadlan describes the Rus being covered in green markings which could potentially have been tattoos and we have physical evidence of tattoos dating back all the way to proto-indo-europeans.
Apart from that, what does it matter. The dude wants to have his sons name tatooed in a different alphabet, who care what people 1000 years ago did or didn't do.
The romans wouldn't have written youtube comments, yet here you are, commenting using the latin alphabet.
Youre confused
The word Proto-Indo European used to be called Aryan
Which referred to the nobility and their languages in a period of time BEFORE Europe existed.
Pre-Christian. (so pagan, by default)
To Row is to Move
and Rus is to Row
The Keivan Rus ruled Russia which was called the Region of Tartaria
The Rus came from Sweden, which was formerly Aryan / Norse Culture.
There was a period of time when NOBODY wanted tattoos becasuem it meant you were a slave and people would turn in slaves that were deserters
You know very little @@ItsJakeTheBrake
The Picts were called Blue Bloods and they often "painted" themselves with Blue. Not tattoos. Phoenician means Red. No tats again. People from India will die things liek skin or hair, red, with ocra, as an old Aryan tradition ,Aryans were known for Blonde OR Red hair, Blue, Green OR Grey eyes, very large people, agriculture as well as, certain religious symbols like Swastica, Treskelion, Trezub, Trident, Molinir, Caduceus and many more. Christians and the Vatican hijacked them all. @@ItsJakeTheBrake
@@je-freenorman7787 The levels of wrongness in literally every statement you made, makes me wonder if you're being purposefully obtuse.
"Proto-Indo European used to be called Aryan"
No, Aryans, or as they would be scientifically called, Indo-Iranians are a group descended from Proto-Indo-Europeans. That means they were around AFTER what we would consider the PIE period.
"Which referred to the nobility and their languages"
Are you hurting yourself in your confusion already? It's only your second statement and you're already going off on tangents. Let's adress it anyway.
Aryan was a self designation, meaning it was just what Indo-Iranians called themselves. It does not designate their language, only the ethno-cultural belonging to the group. It also doesn't have anything to do with nobility.
"in a period of time BEFORE Europe existed"
Your point being?
"Pre-Christian. (so pagan, by default)"
Go tell Indians that they're pagan. Your statement is meaningless. And I wonder why you're even talking about Indo-iranians in the first place? Ah right, you went off the rails in your very first statement already.
"Row is to Move
and Rus is to Row"
What are you even saying? Yes the word may come from Norse meaning "rowers". It may also come from Finnic, which called Sweden Rus. The Norse were prolific traders so of course they would travel.
"The Keivan Rus ruled Russia"
Just wow... It's Kievan Rus and they ruled an area more in line with modern day Ukraine and only parts of what would be modern day Russia. It would be more accurate to say that they ruled the areas around the Dniepr river system.
"which was called the Region of Tartaria"
No it wasn't. You're off by almost one thousand years again and in the wrong geographic area. Tartary is a fairly modern designation for modern day eastern Russia.
"The Rus came from Sweden, which was formerly Aryan / Norse Culture"
You got something right! The Rus did come from what is modern day Sweden. And then you go on to throw around the term Aryan again. No, they were just Norse. Aryan is a distinct and separate culture from another part in the world.
"There was a period of time when NOBODY wanted tattoos becasuem it meant you were a slave and people would turn in slaves that were deserters"
We're finally back to the actual issue at hand. Your statement is correct at it's core. That time period was the 5th century BCE in Rome and Greece. Over a thousand years before the Norse time period. The tattoing of slaves as punishment only lasted for 200 years before it was made illegal by Emperor Constantine (who converted to christianity and ended the christian persecution)
By the late antiquity, tattooing was common for roman soldiers and there are records of it until the 700's AD. This also well into the roman empire being fully christian
Ever since watching The Show Vikings. I love everything about it and the history.
CRINGE!
Love this. We had to learn how to write runes in Swedish double in school, and it's so lovely to re cap.
I really enjoy your videos and your wild taste in eye makeup ! Can't wait for the next one. This is a very interesting subject !
This jewelry and knowledge is EPIC! I stumbled across this channel when I was thinking about fish, COD to be exact! Ain't that weird!???
Cod wars lol
Maybe not, cod is a quite common fish here ;)
They jewelry costs 5 cents from Alibaba. And the knowledge is horribly wrong. Vikings had nothing to do with Runes. And never used the Elder Futhark.
@@stevegoldberg2897 Vikings were still Norweigan, Danish and Swedish so if the could read and write they would know and use runes before they were all converted to christianity.
@@michaelcarney6280 No they would not. Since no one used them by the time of the Vikings. What is your joke even supposed to be?
The names of the runes of the Elder Futhark (those you've pronounced in the video) aren't in Old Norse, they are in Proto-Germanic aka Common Germanic ie. the hypothetic ancestor of all Germanic languages.
Also, an interesting piece of information: in the Dalarna region, in Sweden, people kept using the runes until the beginning of the 20th century...

Great video! Looking forward to the second half 😎
Hi Hrafna, my icelandic-fellow-norse crush! Love from Norge
Just curious how several individual runes can be composed into a single character by just writing them in the same position and obtaining something that looks like a hieroglyph 😁 @snerthh
They're called bind-runes. There are examples from the viking age.
dumb
@@jh2349 there are, but they're for spelling words or shortening inscriptions, not symbols of concepts.
Okay cool man I listen to all sorts of music and listen to watch all just going to stuff and you too but okay
I live in the US and am just beginning to learn the runes. Loved your video and the jewelry. So lovely!
Love your videos, we need more . I could listen to you all day
Just today I did the tattoo of the aegishjalmur in memory of my Norman ancestors in Sicily, cheers.
That's like my mums side of the family that came to the UK in 1066 her surname is Fearon that is Norman.
Norman ancestors... In Sicily...
You know Norman means "North Man" right? Sicily's waaaay down southern europe.
The ægishjálmur isn't Norse, it has nothing to do with Norse people or Normans. Or Sicily.
@@gordonfreeman4341 I suggest you study some vikings and normans history in southern europe😂😂
@@raffaeletrapani83 ... I like your comeback, kid!
Thanks for an amazing video! That jewelry is gorgeous.
Love your channel. Great stuff!
Look I don't want to rain on the parade but the use of runes as magical charms and sigils is largely ahistorical and attributed to modern neopagan movements rather than historical artefacts and sources. Accredited runologists will most often consider them to be not much beyond lexioconographical letters that have names for identification. Those names don't mean they were used to represent abstract concepts. Whenever we see runes carved on stones or walls, it's in the same way we used the Latin alphabet now.
All in all, practices like magical rune binding and runecasting are modern and not historically attested
There are a few examples. Such as the triple Týr rune on a sword and the "gebo/ansuz" on the Swedish spear. We know there WERE examples of bindrunes. But most of the galdrastafir come from medieval influences long past the viking age.
@@jh2349 the thing is that a Týr on its own is no different from a T on its own in English, for example all the hydrant points on my road are marked with a H, for hydrant. But that doesn't mean the letter H in English 'represents water' in any general context. That's what all the modern rune magic meanings are, general contexts that apply no matter what.
One of the old Norse poem sources recounts a character 'naming Tyr twice' upon their sword referring to the god Tyr, but in that context they might be just saying his name out loud, or writing it in full, or just writing a Tyr rune to stand for his full name. But a Tyr rune could also stand for töfra (magic), tann (tooth) or tölva (computer, in modern times), it never automatically means the god. It's just like a T.
At the end of the day it just appears by all means that they were used the same way letters are and people didn't see them as grand symbols of ideas like prosperity and healing etc etc.
I'm aware of Galdrastafir and staves, I just started a subreddit detailing their history and misassociation with Norse times. r/galdrastafir if anyone's interested
@@Volkfire not sure what the 'elder edda' is, if you're trying to say the poetic Edda or the prose Edda. I already went over the 'name Týr twice' misconception that is the main point brought up by people in favour of runes as sigils, Snorri's texts do not emphatically state at any point that runes are esoteric symbols of concepts, nor any original primary source.
You introduced yourself as a Wardrúna fan and not an academic runologist or student, but they would say they are at the very least heavily skeptical of this interpretation of runes and often outright dismiss it, as it's very much a product of modern neopaganism and *not* the sources we have from in and near the time, like the Hávamál or the Eddas. I'm not saying they're lying, because they aren't saying this in the first place. They never mention any kind of runecasting.
Hope that clears things up
@@EVO6- didn't Tiwaz mean God in PIE? And I get it. I don't believe in the mysticism hype either. I'm just saying bind runes did exist, even used modernly in the Bluetooth symbol. I'm sure nobody put tönn on their sword though lol. Maybe jarntönn lol.
@@jh2349 oh yeah bindrunes exist, we even have a depiction of a ship's mast making up a word with the middle stave having them running down it. But they just formed combinations of runes to help shorten words while carving, or initials like the HB for Harald Blåtand (Bluetooth). But that's not the same as magic bindrunes which are combining concepts (eg love and wealth) together.
As for the Tiwaz name, Tiwaz was the proto Germanic equivalent to Týr, the Norse god associated with war. Every rune had a name that was a commonly known word starting with that sound. So it's called Tiwaz but it doesn't mean it *is* Tiwaz or the embodiment of him.
If this sounds strange, we do the same thing in modern English with the NATO alphabet. C for Charlie, D for Delta, W for Whiskey etc. But that doesn't mean that in modern Anglophic society, the letter W is a symbolic representation of Whiskey.
Tfw someone calls Germanic runes "Viking runes"
same thing

Am so happy to discover you chanel!!! I spend 3 weeks in your country and am beyond happy that i could see with my own eyes all this beauty!!!! + you guys were super friendly to me!!!! Ill come back whenever i can am just in love!!!!
Thank you for your videos, they help me teach my grandkids our about history .
Also have not seen one of your videos in a while so rock on the new video keep them coming I’ll keep watching them
If you're wondering how to say the Þ sound while explaining; Eth is how you would vocalize it.
_Although that could be confused with ð, even though its basically the same letter._
Every letter in English is said with a vowel, when by itself.
_Be, Ce, De, eF, Ge, aeH, Kay, eL, Pe, Qu, Te, eS_

"Fehu" is an obvious cognate with "feoh" in Old English, which also meant livestock, and so by extension meant money, and gives us "fee" in modern English.
same pronunciation as the german word "Vieh" (same meaning)

Thank YEW for videos !!!!
Thank you so much. I've been using runes for the last 12 years, but all I had were books and I pronounced them how I do in spanish. Its nice to know now a closer pronunciation to how it really was. @murielvelazquez
I can relate at least to the pronunciation part haha
Can't wait for part 2, very interesting.
I'm from Rochester, New York. My last name is Graff & my ancestors are from S.W. Germany.
