Celtic or Viking knots? Medieval stone monuments of Britain Survive the Jive 2022-01-14 | British medieval stone monuments such as the High Cross are famous for their unique interlace styles sometimes called Celtic knot work. During the early medieval era the Picts erected unique picture stones, the Anglo-Saxons established the high cross tradition and the Gaels and Vikings also influenced the artwork of the peoples of the British isles. In this video I will try to explain how the medieval stone monument tradition developed and how the Viking invasions influenced the high cross tradition in Ireland and resulted in runic crosses on the Isle of Mann and hogbacks graves in Scotland and England. You will see animated cgi of the pagan Norse imagery from the Gosforth cross and finally I take a trip to the marvellous medieval stones of Govan in Scotland. Sometimes it is hard to tell if such monuments are Celtic, Viking or Anglo-Saxon!This channel depends on your support:Patreon: patreon.com/survivethejiveAll Links: https://linktr.ee/SurvivetheJiveTelegram: https://t.me/s/survivethejiveSponsored by The Bizarchives: Thrilling tales of strange science, heroic ages and supernatural horror. thebizarchives.com for all releases, submission criteria, pulp fiction history and much more!Art by:Gosforth cross by Robert Molyneaux artstation.com/robertmolyneauxKnocknagael Boar Stone by Roy Douglasartstation.com/roydouglasChristian Sloan Halldeviantart.com/americanvendettaMusic in order:Kevin MacLeod - MoorlandWolcensmen - sunneXurios - steppe expansionGvasdanahr - through the astral voidBorg - May queen enters the circleLorcán Mac Mathúna - Caoineadh FherdiaKevin MacLeod - ritesOrmgard - SjálfsfornLorcán Mac Mathúna - DinseannchasAndrew Weis - Scottish medievalSimon Jacobs - Ad VictoriamSources:Bristow and Cramp 'Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture in England' (British Academy, 1984) http://www.ascorpus.ac.ukCramp, R.

Odin Explained: Runes and Magic Survive the Jive 2024-03-01 | Buy the Great Rebellion on Steam now at store.steampowered.com/app/2732820/The_Great_RebellionReturning 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.This channel depends on your support:Patreon: patreon.com/survivethejiveAll Links: https://linktr.ee/SurvivetheJiveBitcoin: bc1qq4x3pwvpq7kxu0ws8wm7f0yu8cuddfgl9349umSources:Snorri Sturlusson, Prose EddaPoetic Edda: Sigrdrífumál, Havamal, Voluspa, RigsthulaTacitus, GermaniaIbn Fadlan, RisalaSnorri Sturlusson, LausavísurVölsunga saga Grettir’s sagaYnglinga saga00:00 Intro01:10 the dankest god03:05 Odin and Mercury06:46 Great Rebellion sponsor08:22 Loki and Prometheus15:02 the origin of Runes24:00 Runic elites27:12 Galdr31:54 Runar and Galdra39:30 Chants preserve knowledge43:06 Sacred arts / conclusion
The Origin and Purpose of Blue Eyes Survive the Jive 2024-01-22 | 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.

Origin of Stone Circles 7000 years ago | Prehistory Documentary 🇫🇷 Survive the Jive 2023-11-14 | 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.

Britain’s Last Pagan Ritual - DOCUMENTARY 🇬🇧 Survive the Jive 2023-06-29 | 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”.

The Northman - Pagan themes explained Survive the Jive 2022-12-08 | THE NORTHMAN: Robert Eggers' The Northman is the best Viking film ever made but some of the pagan themes within are too esoteric for everyone to understand. In this review, I explain the origin of the pagan rituals and symbols throughout the film and what they mean. Everything from valkyries, to the raven fylgja, the horned spear dancer, and the Odinic initiation ritual in a Neolithic barrow.

SHIP OF THE DEAD: Ancient Nordic History Documentary 🇩🇰 🇸🇪 Survive the Jive 2022-09-12 | The Vikings had their own Stonehenge! Stone ship settings aka 'Skeppssättning' are the most remarkable Viking age monuments in Scandinavia, but what were they for? They were built over a period of 2000 years from the Nordic bronze age until the end of the Viking age, mainly in grave fields but they weren’t just associated with burials and cremations as they were also used for pagan rituals and formal assemblies. This video explains how the stone ships may relate first to a Bronze age cult of the sun in Gotland, and later to a Viking belief that the dead would need a vehicle for a journey to and from the underworld. It also connects them to the Viking goddess Freyja and her hall in Folkvang. The stone ship settings included in this film are Tjelvars grave in Gotland, Anundshög in Västmanland, Åsa domaresäte in Södermanland, Ängakåsen and Ale’s stones in Scania and the Jelling stone ship in Denmark.This channel depends on your support:SubscribeStar: subscribestar.com/survive-the-jiveTelegram: https://t.me/survivethejiveArt and sources for this video all on my blog: survivethejive.blogspot.com/2022/09/ship-of-sun-or-ship-of-dead-stone-ships.htmlMUSIC:The whole other - Ether oarWolcensmen - Sunne (remix by Eternal Rik)Saichaika - Musica aeternaHalindir - Hedelandet IIBark sound productions - MyAaron Kenny - yonder hill and dalePatrick Patrikios - away Kevin MacLeod - RitesStark von Oben - Praetorian GermanicusStark von Oben - Winter SoulsticeOrmgård - SétaBorg - Death of WinterMyling - TöckenHalindir - Hummocks in fogRishi Shah - From Runes to RuinsX - Steppe expansion00:00 Introduction01:08 Bronze age stone ships in Gotland04:52 Anundshög and Åsa domaresäte07:10 Disasting 08:08 Ängakåsen09:32 Ale’s stones 10:50 Jelling stone ship 12:36 Ship burials and solar ships 16:14 Ship of the dead or the sun? 19:59 Ships of Norse mythology 23:10 Conclusion
The Worlds Oldest Myth? World Tree and Reincarnation Documentary Survive the Jive 2022-07-29 | 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.

Asgards Walls: The Key to Defeating Enemies Survive the Jive 2022-04-01 | Interpreting myth: Verses 25/26 in Vǫluspá refer to the same myth found in chapter 42 of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning which tells the story of how a Jotunn in disguise deceived the gods to enter a deal in which he would build the walls of Asgard in exchange for the sun, moon and the hand in marriage of Freyja.

Starkad, the Viking Warrior-Poet Lone-Wolf Survive the Jive 2022-03-19 | SIGMA VIKING MALE? The Viking hero Starkad / Starkaðr was a warrior-poet with extra arms who was blessed by the god Odin. This aristocratic transgressive lone wolf character is actually a prehistoric Indo-European archetype equivalent to Hercules in Greece, Suibhne in Ireland and Krishna’s cousin Siśupāla of Chedi from the Hindu religion of India. In this video I explain who Starkad was and how his myths parallel other Indo-European stories of a Sigma male outsider who loves kings, hates the lower classes, is rude to women and goes into mad rages of extreme violence against his enemies.

JIVE TALK: Bohemian Corded Ware Rhapsody Survive the Jive 2021-08-30 | Mamaaa,Just killed a Globular Amphora man,Put an axe into his head, swung the bronze,Now he's dead.A new paper reveals a series of population replacements in Neolithic and Bronze Age Bohemia which are likely indicative of wider population replacements across Europe. Some of the samples from the paper are special and there is a lot to consider. It seems scientists are gradually more willing to admit that population replacements occurred a lot in history and were likely driven by violent male invaders from the Funnelbeakers to the Corded Ware and finally the Proto-Celtic Únětice. advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/35/eabi6941This channel depends on your support:Patreon: patreon.com/survivethejiveAll Links: https://linktr.ee/SurvivetheJiveBitcoin: bc1qq4x3pwvpq7kxu0ws8wm7f0yu8cuddfgl9349um

Holy Holes / Ancient pagan magic Survive the Jive 2021-06-16 | Passing through rituals involving holes in stones and trees are widespread in Europe and beyond and are related to rituals that involve looking through a hole to see spirits.In this video we look at the passing through rituals associated with megalithic structures in Britain and Ireland, and the arboreal passing through rituals associated with oak and ash trees all over Europe, known as träddragning in Nordic countries. We also look at the related customs of looking through holes among the Sami and the Welsh, the Odinic ritual of looking through an arm akimbo as described in the Viking saga of King Hrólfr Kraki, the Swedish Årsgång divination rite, and at the hagstone or adderstone tradition from Britain and the associated magical practices.

Anglo-Saxon Paganism: Gods Survive the Jive 2021-03-08 | What were the pre-Christian religious traditions of England like? This two part series serves as an introduction to Anglo-Saxon paganism. In this video we will look at the evidence we have for the pagan gods of the Anglo-Saxons and will compare them to what we know about the Norse equivalents that Vikings worshipped. At times it is also necessary to use Indo-European comparative mythology to understand the gods and goddesses of the Anglo-Saxons. “Anglo-Saxon paganism” refers to the Germanic pagan traditions brought to Britain in the 5th century and which persisted in surprising ways even after the Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England over the 7th and 8th century.Thanks to Wulfheodenas for modelling their Vendel era Germanic weapons and clothing.This channel depends on your support:Patreon: patreon.com/survivethejiveSubscribeStar: subscribestar.com/survive-the-jiveTelegram: https://t.me/survivethejiveCrypto: bit.ly/3ysmtvkArt:Alex Cristi - Erce.Andrew Whyte - Nehalennia.Christian Sloan Hall - Eastre .Gramanh Folcwald - Hengist and Horsa.Hungerstein - Tiw .Robert Molyneaux - Yeavering temple .Ryan Murray - Modra.1st Aquarian - Migration map.Music:Aethelruna - Modraniht Overture Bark Sound Productions - variousBorg - compositions from The Triumph of SpringCefin Beorn - variousDoug Maxwell - variousElegiac - Ashwind interludeHalindir - Hedelandet IIKevin McLeod - variousOrmgård - SjálfsfornSean O Rourke - Contentment is wealthSjhof - Loki’s meditationStark von Oben - Rise of TiamatSun and moon dance - Hymne til FreyjaTorulf - Rite of the HeartWolcensmen - SunneWolcensmen - A fine Way to Die Xuriuos - Steppe expansionSources:Chaney, W.

Jive Book Review: The Final Pagan Generation Survive the Jive 2021-02-04 | The Final Pagan Generation recounts the story of the lives and fortunes of the last Romans born before the Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity. Edward J. Watts traces their experiences of living through the fourth century’s dramatic religious and political changes, when heated confrontations saw the Christian establishment legislate against pagan practices as mobs attacked pagan holy sites and temples. Watts examines why the "final pagan generation"—born to the old ways and the old world in which it seemed to everyone that religious practices would continue as they had for the past two thousand years—proved both unable to anticipate the changes that imperially sponsored Christianity produced and unwilling to resist them. This book is relevant today due to obvious modern parallels.

Viking Horse Spell Dates back to the Indo-Europeans Survive the Jive 2021-01-08 | In this video I will show how the 2nd Merseberg charm, a magic spell from medieval Germany, proves that ancient Indo-Europeans also had special magical spells to keep their horses alive - by healing them. The examples I give come from a 19th century Swedish spell, an Irish spell from 1938 recorded in the archives of the folklore dept. at UCD, the second battle of Maige Tuired, and Book 4/12 of the Atharva-Veda. I also look at how the Norse used horses for black magic too - namely the níðstang or shame pole which requires a severed horse's head.Read more: survivethejive.blogspot.com/2019/08/horse-healing-magic-from-steppes.htmlThis channel depends on your support:Patreon: patreon.com/survivethejiveSubscribeStar: subscribestar.com/survive-the-jiveTelegram: https://t.me/survivethejiveCrypto: bit.ly/3ysmtvkVKNG: http://bit.ly/38b9otKArt:Odin heals Baldr's horse by Gramanh Folcwaldtwitter.com/GramanhFolcwaldAndronovo chariot and vikings by Christian Sloan Halldeathlord.co.ukMusic in order:theme song: Wolcensmen - Sunnequincas moreira - Dawn_of_ManBark sound productions - EgdStark Von Oben - PanDoug Maxwell - Bansure ragaSean O Rourke - contentment is wealthAltyn Tuu - altai tuvaOrmgård - Sjálfsforn
