Ulfheðnar: What were the Odinnic Wolf Cults?
In this video I discuss some of the evidence for the existence of the Indo-Germanic Mannebunde and the Ulfhednar of Odin.

Very good video. I'm currently reading Kris Kershaw's "The One-eyed God: Odin and the (Indo-) Germanic Männerbünde" (in German). Your video gives a good overview of / introduction to the topic.

Very interesting! One of the most informative videos I have watched on this topic.
More indeed. The detail and information provided was exactly what I needed.
Your break down is amazing. Keep it up.
Amazing work! Thank you for making this.id definitely like to see more videos about the wolf cults, and mannerbunde, this video was very concise and direct. It helped me learn a few words that I had been seeing, during my research ulfhednar (spelling), and gave me some great takeaways on how this all worked back in those times. Subscribed and liked. Thanks for making it so easy to understand. Also would you care to share the song in the end?
Congratulations! Nice work! Looking foward for more videos like this! :)
Great video. Very informative and straight forward. look forward to more.
Your way of speaking is very enthralling, very much enjoyed the video :)

I watch this thinking how I could exclude myself near wolfs and bears for a winter,in hope of becoming the first modern Ulfhednar, by Woden it must be someones Destiny
The process of creating an ulfhednar contains all the elements of how indigenous tribal shamans are made. Have run into Viking historians who say the berserkers and ulfhednar were a type of shaman.
This is a very good video, I very much hope to see this channel grow.

Woah, this is saturated with information. I would love to hear a part 2 I'm curious, I may have missed it but you mentioned that by Snorri's time the idea of Ragnarok was relatively new, do you have source material or reference that goes over this?
@thefyrdsman9590
3 жыл бұрын
Hey Bjorn! Thank you for your comment, and I'm glad you asked for clarification. I'll make sure to cover this in a later video! When I refer to Ragnarok as relatively new, I should've clarified that I meant in terms of my comparison with the concept of the Einherjar. Whilst we see numerous references to the Einherjar in the pagan periods of Viking history - whereas our main source for Ragnarok is in the poem Voluspa, which was written at the height of Christian efforts to convert Iceland. There is a growing argument that places Ragnarok as a relatively late story, inspired by Christian tradition, but whether or not this is true or was actually a 'new' idea is certainly up for debate. It's something that's definitely worth a deeper look at though, and I plan to cover it in a future video!

@@thefyrdsman9590 Not really wrong though. Snorri took out from verbal poems and more. Second one who dreams the gods cannot be making things up like on Loki, as I did. Odin with spear ain't something from the Christians. He had no reason to change. Besides got even attacked by his own after such books as heretic. Cycles aren't new. This ain't much christian thing.

This information is super important. Please do more, definitely not enough publicly available.
Do you have any plans on doing a video about the "Jöfurr" or swine-headed cultic warriors of the Saxons?

11:17 in Galicia (northwest of the Iberian península), the Hunt is also called "Hoste Antiga", the Ancient Host. So, again, a reference to an army of the dead. In the Vth century the pagan Suebi conquered and settled in this province, so who knows... Waiting for more!
Yes, more on the wolf cult of odin. Please.
Well done! Two big avenues of broader Wolf Cult research that I’m sure you’re aware of but I’ll plug anyway for others; Apollo the Wolf God The research being done at Krasnosamarskoe This is a very old Aryan Tradition indeed
More please good sir
Great video and read the book too :) Inwould ve interested on your view considering the story of Tyr/Fenrir and its connection to 1. the Männerbünde and 2. Tyr being the original inpersonation of the primary deity :)
I'm an occultist and would love to hear more about the wolf cults and any other alpha apex predator like cults from all cultures

More please your awesome
Great info! Keep it up!!!! Question - Are the modern "Dutch" of Scandinavian/Viking heritage? I guess I can google huh?
I don't understand why the helmeted figure would be Woden. Those aren't horns; they're ducks. The helmet has duck wings. There's a duck motif on the Sutton Hoo helmet as well; it's wings are the warrior's brows and the tail is his moustache. Also, the figure is weilding two spears, both of which look to be of a piece, as opposed to the wolf-headed character whose spear is fully detailed. My guess is that these are performers in some kind of dance, and unless Woden has some assocication with ducks or geese (which he well might; I have no idea) that that figure is a performer unrelated to Woden. Also, in other images, the figure is duplicated, as if there are more dancers present.
Hey! Loved this video. Have you read 'the hanged god: odin grimnir' and 'Wolfs-Head: Óðinn, The Ecstatic God of Tethers and Skin-Turning.' two books by the same author, Shani Oates. She touches a lot on the Odinnic wolf cults, berserkirs, Úlfhéðnar, the cult of odin etc. Something you might be interested in reading. She is by far my most favourite author when it comes to academic and factual research as well as spiritual.

really great work! Are you sure that's Odin on the metal plate? He seems to have both his eyes Still loved this man!
We have an ancient tradition called "Kukeri" in Bulgaria, I believe it may have simillar roots to Mannabunde or "the wild hunt"". The celebration involves young men dressing in intimidating costumes made of animal fur, masks, horns and special bells on their waist to scare off evil spirits.
I’d love to learn more.

Good shit
I've always studied wolf/werewolf legend
In German, the word Volk = folk/people. In Russian, Volk = wolf. Could it be the Russians had grown skeptical of the German “Volks” after encountering these wolf warriors?
Hello whoever you are. I subbed. Do you still make videos?
I would like to learn more.

Great video. But I've always seen the "horned" helmet, not as horns, they look like ravens, hence Woden.
Please elaborate further

The pix with the man with an helmet with 2 snakes ( Jormungandr) and the wolf (Fenrir). Odin is the KORyonos. (Core of the Earth.) Loki is the Earth mag pole. When the distance between earth mag pole and geographic pole increase like now. It's like an unbalanced wheel who create more friction between the core (Odin) and the magma(Fenrisulfr.) Increasing internal warming causing the evaporation of the water (Jormungandr) in the earth's crust (chain of Fenrir) and Oceans. Dryed crust become more thinner the chains of Fenrir become fragile. Massive Earthquake and Tsunami come but Thor will kill Jormungandr and Vidar will kill Fenrir. In the movies Underworld i think Jormungandr is Markus the vampire and William is Fenrir the wolf. Ragnarok is the period of Chaos when Odin die causing the end of earth mag field , but the Phoenix will rebirth !! Many solar gods are in fact core of the earth gods. To hiding to humans that the core of the earth is not eternal....Be prepare Ragnarok is coming !
And Oden live where ? Around ?
Caused the great darkness lasting for 1000's of years .... with small golden ages now and then.
so your telling me a warrior culture, had 4 spec-ops division and each division had a beret like animal skin they wear to show which division they represent? how is that hard to believe??
Hmm. I've got an idea. Maybe someone should point their paleoanthropological eyes to modern 1% motorcycle clubs. What was described in the video looks to have a striking number of similarities in structure to them.
Jarl Eirikr Hakonarson outlawed Berserkers in Norway the year 1015 not 1215. But the berserkers were used in battles 1066 and probably longer, paganism existed well in to 13th century in Sweden.
This believe that a warrior will forever live on was encountered in Dacian armies as well (based on the scarce Greek sources we have). Those sources claim that Dacian warriors believed themselves ro be immortal, which explains their ferocity in battle. A tragedy that not much is known about the Dacians. I feel a great part of Indo-European culture and worldview is lost

Great video. Very informative. But get rid of the annoying background music, please 🙂

Great video. Odin’s story is wider than Europe. Prof. Sven Lagerbring wrote in his book: "Our ancestors are Turks who are comrades of Oden. We have got enough evidence on this subject. There are people who want to fool you into thinking they are Goths, or Tyrks. I don't care whether it will be discrediting for me or not. Oden and his comrades were Turks." Here, I will share texts from two sources. We find same runic letters in those two cultures. As I cannot put pictures here, please do your own research. 1) Odin’s Turkic origins from prose Edda. 2) Wolf in Asian Turkic mythology (Epic of Oghuz Khagan, he is represented just in the same way as Odin) Now, from Prose Edda “Near the earth's centre was made that goodliest of homes and haunts that ever have been, which is called Troy, even that which we call Turkland.” (…) “Odin had second sight, and his wife also; and from their foreknowledge he found that his name should be exalted in the northern part of the world and glorified above the fame of all other kings. Therefore, he made ready to journey out of Turkland, and was accompanied by a great multitude of people, young folk and old, men and women; and they had with them much goods of great price. And wherever they went over the lands of the earth, many glorious things were spoken of them, so that they were held more like gods than men. They made no end to their journeying till they were come north into the land that is now called Saxland; there Odin tarried for a long space, and took the land into his own hand, far and wide.” (…) “The fields and the choice lands in that place seemed fair to Odin, and he chose for himself the site of a city which is now called Sigtún. There he established chieftains in the fashion which had prevailed in Troy; he set up also twelve head-men to be doomsmen over the people and to judge the laws of the land; and he ordained also all laws as, there had been before, in Troy, and according to the customs of the Turks. After that he went into the north, until he was stopped by the sea, which men thought lay around all the lands of the earth; and there he set his son over this kingdom, which is now called Norway.“ 2) Now some details about a guiding-leader Wolf from Oghuz Khagan Legend: “…A male wolf appeared, breathing. A wolf with a blue mane, such a wolf with a bluish furry. He addressed Oguz as if it was a human being. He began to utter some words as if it was a language. He said “O! Oguz, I know what your wish is. You wanted to start a war in Urum’s province. O! Oguz I will lead your army. I will walk in front of your army”. Hearing this Oguz had his tent rolled up. When he went to his army, he was surprised to see this: A big male wolf lf like an advance guard With its blue mane, and blue hair, like a scout making way. He was walking in front of them. Finally he stopped one day, after many days. Oguz’s army stopped, behind him. There was a river called Idil-Müren”. And there are many other references about celestial and wise Wolfs in our legends. Best Regards. (We can add Werewolves of Ossory to widen the research about guiding Wolf-like beings)
Harlekin The king of the men with long hair Haarleking (Hair king) He was the leader of young man leaving the village, the house, the family to get a real strong man and a warrior. They went into the woods and learned to hunt, to live like a ulfhednar or a berserkir in the woods and to get their strength. The young man with long hair was a sign that they were in education, in training to get a strong, wild man, a warrior. It was a alliance of young man to get strong warriors. It was pagan. Heathenish. It was theme in a Robin Hood film from 2010 with Russell Crowe as Robin Hood. But there was a good book too.
