Hello guys, we all know that the vikings are quite a topic and the most corrupted one where most of them can be lies like ''Odin eated semen'' or ''sacrificed for Odin'' yada, yada, given the fact that these guy was the last battalion against christianity in the middle ages can someone tell me more about them because i cant trust other sources given the fact that there is so much enemy propaganda in regarding pagan societies.
Well, they were a pagan society like any other around that time. They revered nature, and they kept contact with the Gods.
Look at their long ships with the dragon motif - that obviously has to do with the serpent. There are mentions of serpents and dragons all throughout the poems, sagas, kennings (kennings are similar to a modern day internet meme). You can probably learn a lot about "viking" culture by studying the Vedas because a lot of things in the Norse Eddas are the same, and both have been heavily corrupted. It's the same spiritual heritage with a different landscape.
For example, mead of poetry = soma, elixir, holy grail, water of life, fountain of youth, etc.
The Vikings are famous because they sailed down, and they scared the piss out of the jewish-xian clergy of the southern lands at that time. They probably dragged them out of their comfy churches by their legs, and lit them on fire for the whole village to see. Perhaps burned a bunch of useless bibles that the "commoners" couldn't even read. Honestly, I don't think there's much else to know about their moment in history. They were warriors, they struggled, and eventually their Scandinavia acquired their new flags of today because they were conquered.
Horned helmets is just symbolism, and also a depiction painted by xians to liken Scandinavian warriors to "scary" horned Demons like their usual depictions of our Gods.
A lot of people obviously romanticize the Berserkers (bear shirts), Ulfhethnar (wolf = ulf/ulfr), etc., and it's not hard to see why. Stories of shapeshifting werewolves (man-wolf) are in pretty much every single culture throughout history, and they survived into pop culture of today. The Norse also adored wolves very much. Names with the prefix Ulf in it were incredibly common like Ulfred, Thorulf, etc. We even acquired the word wolf from them. Also think back to the symbol of Rome's founding, mothered by a she-wolf. I could also reference the Wolf's Lair in WW2. Wolves and dogs have a very long history of being sacred and loved, and people didn't start hating wolves/werewolves until xianity. Just look at how they treated this poor wolf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_of_Ansbach
I could get into the history of bears as well, but I would leave that for another day. Think: teddy bear.
As for untangling the myths of Snorri's corrupted prose Edda... where do I even start? Certain things are obvious like the binding of the Midgard Serpent = binding of kundalini most likely. I believe they also may have made a curse to bind the inner wolf of man so that primordial aggression can't be accessed (this could also tie into werewolf legends as well). The binding of Fenrir was also possibly a curse to their graves because the xians forced people to carve their grave markers with a depiction of a bound wolf, and if you look into it you will find many connections between wolves/dogs and graves (guardians of the underworld like Cerberus). The wolf or dog was a guardian of the graves of men, and my guess is that they were something like astral guardians of treasure as well as memories. You don't have to guess why the jews would want to bind that. Binding Hel is most likely binding our connection to our homeland as Helens which might make it so we get lost on the astral plane after death, being unable to return home.
Then you have things like "the twilight of the Gods." Do I even need to explain that one? It's the jews wishing death on Father Satan and the Demons.
Something else I could point to is the likely connection between vampires and draugr. Vampires sleep in coffins, draugr sleep in burial mounds. They both rise from their grave, both are depicted with supernatural abilities, and both attack the living albeit for different purposes. I'll try to think of some other examples, but hopefully this will be satisfying for now. You would probably learn a lot about the Norse by learning to read Icelandic because it's very close to Old Norse.
A lot of this is conjecture based on my own personal studies. If High Priests, or anyone else finds any of this objectionable then please correct me.
