The Wisdom of Odin is a vlog of my journey through Norse Paganism, a way to assist others along their journey, and a place to promote a positive image for all of paganism.
While I personally declare myself as a Norse Pagan, I speak on topics that also involve aspects of Asatru, Heathenry, and other pagan identities such as Slavic/Celtic/Germanic paganism.
The Wisdom of Odin is not associated or affiliated with any orginizations religious or politcial in nature. This channel/community is inclusive to all but is also non-political.
All gatherings held through the Wisdom of Odin and its extended community are private events held and organized by the members of the community. The only service the Wisdom of Odin provides is a place to connect with others of similar beliefs in the old ways.

    I’m fairly new to becoming an active pagan. I suppose I have been hesitant about “worshipping” the Gods. But I suppose this manner of offering or similar manners conducted outdoors could be used to contact with any spirit. I’ve been having issues with spirituality too. Coming from a belief that the world is black and white to accepting Animism it’s taking some time. I hope I can eventually connect with spirits. I purchased some votives to use as I cannot stand the odor of burning sage haha, and have really been dragging my feet on using those. I make artisan bread for a living, perhaps I should make some as an outdoors offering. Thanks for the video!

    I have been conflicted for so long about how to "properly" set up my altar. I have sent myself into desparate panic about it several times until today. Today, it has snowed here in Texas. One of the only 2 times I have ever seen it snow in this part of Texas, and on the night before the new moon. I have recently been brought into the faith by the gods, and Skadi in particular, and today I could feel her presence and wanted once again to try to perfect my altar. As I sat, frustrated with myself, I was drawn to your channel and this video in particular. You have helped me so much today, and I know the gods have guided me here. Thank you for everything you do

    Lioness Dragon-Heart so in my experience, cleaning your space is quite a subjective opinion. My best friend and seasoned, respected, Wiccan practitioner cleanses her space be it with words or sage, but I myself like many educated I know prefer not to, as sometimes it’s the benevolent forces that can help us achieve what we want. For me personally, it’s more important to be respectful of the ancestors, spirits or Gods you summon into your home, and I find in return they respect me back. For beginners though, cleaning your space is a good way of just protecting yourself from more than you are capable of handling definitely :)

I have altars since childhood, one for the sea and one for the woods. Its fascinating for me that I and also my parents have done a lot to connect with the gods without knowing them.

    I've watched several of your videos already and I have learned so much from you. I am, what I refer myself as, a baby pagan. I've watched this video, made myself some personal notes. And in the end of the video when you were giving your offering, I felt a presence...a spirit of sorts on my right side. Touching my arm and tickling the side of my hair. I couldn't help but feel calm and at peace at the experience.

    A rule of thumb I've gone by after reading it in so many places (felt right to me. My personal opinion), anyway 24 hrs or if you wouldn't eat/drink it, neither would they appreciate it. Just MHO. Love your videos & your openness. Extremely few show their actual veneration. Thank you. Makes me feel better about my own humble words instead of thinking I have to memorize fancy rhymes & sing song pleas.

    Thank you for this very useful video, Jacob! And for sharing your offering to Bragi with us. I thought that you and the rest of your viewers might find the type of offering I recently made to Freya interesting, so I figured I would share it here, as it may give them some ideas. Since I am a published author and also now studying calligraphy, I figured I would make a truly special offering for Freya: I wrote a short story entirely with the Elder Futhark runes, and I did it the way our ancestors used to have to do it, with a quill pen that I dipped in an inkwell and wrote on a piece of old-style parchment. The plot of the story symbolized in metaphor what I was asking from Freya. I gave a focused blessing on the parchment containing the story I wrote by hand in runic. I then folded it up, set it aflame by a lit candle on my altar, and let it burn to ashes in my cauldron. While it was burning I recited another blessing to Freya, letting her know that story and the creative energy that went into it was written for her alone and was now being consumed by the sacred flames and sent to Asgard in her honor. After the parchment burned to ashes, I dumped them out in a section right outside my house that has a patch of grass and lilac bushes, as it's the sole little chunk of nature that I have there (I live in a big city far from any woodlands).

    I asked Odin in my first attempt reaching out for guidance on learning to be a Norse Pagan. I am very glad that I was led to you as you have helped me understand that not everything has to be this way or that. As someone who used to be Christian you can understand why I may feel this way. Again I wanted to thank you for your videos and your teachings.

    I've been building a alter for the gods and I got some wood and cut it and I'm carving the gods into each one. The pretty basic carving since I made a wood carving. But theyr turning out really cool so far. I carved a raven skull with a rune on it too

    I love this. Thank you for sharing. I have an altar in my bedroom as well. I will share it with you on Instagram as soon as I feel the time is right to take a picture. Every morning I light a candle and incense in honor of the Odin and Freya. I tell them I’m lighting the candle and incense in their honor and welcome them into my home and my heart. I ask for blessings and protection for me and my family. It’s a daily thing for me and it makes me feel wonderful! I have a small bowl of carnelian and green tourmaline as a permanent offering for Freya and Odin.

    I'm still in the broom closet with VERY Christian parents so my alter basically consists of small things I think my Gods would like and a candle for each of them as well as an asigned necklace that is used as a pendulum. This was very helpful for me and gave me kind of like a base to start on and an idea for their future altars thank you so much

    What I did was take an offering sigils ashes, mixed with green candlewax and rub it onto the bottom of my dish. (I also cleansed the dish but that goes without saying) I then stated what place the dish was supposed to be in, and what it was for. I then placed the dish onto the area, and put the offering in the dish while saying " This food is meant specifically for the deity" in my case it was Apollo, "Apollo. I hope you like my offering! Thank you!" and went back to happily doing schoolwork. Offering things strangely makes me happy!
