Okay, I will be honest. One thing I hate the most is the amount of misinformation available online. Googling "Viking symbols" gives you literally anything but actual Viking Age symbols. In this video I will go through an overview image of symbols claiming to be "Viking" and explain which ones are and which ones aren't (Hint, there are only 2 historically accurate ones...)

    How good is your "viking symbol" knowledge? Are there any symbols on this list that surprised you? Let me know!
  • @Egg_thing
    Great video! I love this type of content cause finding good information on a lot of pagan/historical symbolism gets really hard when so many search results are clogged up with misinfo like this graphic. I'd also appreciate it if you included some sources or further reading on the topic maybe? Also on a different note you're really handsome and I like your fish earring

    Lovely video! Sadly there's a bunch of sad kids in the comments talking shit for no reason. Keep up the good work! :)

    Quite a sideways question, but your footnote on berserkers mentions Odin as the supreme Norse deity; I remember reading or possibly hearing somewhere that the supreme (as in 'most commonly worshipped', not in terms of a pantheon hierarchy) deity would have been Thor until the time of christianisation introduced notions of a more Mediterranean order with a Zeus equivalent at the top, as it were. I'm afraid I really can't remember the source and never dug further myself. Have you come across any similar theories? I'd also be curious to see a video on the evolution of notions of that pantheon, if that's a topic that would be of interest to you. And thank you for yet another great video!

    Thanks for the interesting information. I did find you for the queer videos as you might remember, but this does interest me a bit. My grandmothers maiden name was Cochran and I’d like to learn about the Norse and Scottish heritage.

    Sit you next to my son, Liam, and my dad at your common age and anyone would be forgiven for thinking "triplets".

    Looking at my horns of odin tattoo i got when i was 19 in dismay right now 😭
  • @gregajohnson1985
    Massive applause to you, for not referring to "The Vikings" as a people, but as a time period. Viking is a verb. Viking is something they did, not who they were. Thank you many times for not making that modern fallacy. So many times, things are mistaken, without an honest look into the actual science of history. There is nothing wrong with art, and inspired anachronistic appreciation, as long as we know that, that is what they are. Skol!

    The Raven symbol reminds me of something I started drawing as a young teen while daydreaming in class 😅
  • @MareaRayneOleander
    This is all great info to know if one plans on tapping into their ancestry that may be viking!

  • @ruxandstuff6622
    Why do we call it Vikings if it’s just an activity and not just translated to raiding or pillaging
