Something on YouTube that is worth a darn: "What is Asatru Series"

[happyheathenmom]

Mike Smith's: What is Asatru Youtube video series (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSKv5V9X0IA)

So far he has five videos online and the last one he posted was in the last week.. so he's keeping them up to date.. I've really found them very informative. I must say I completely understand the concept of Skuld now by watching the fifth one in his discussion of the Norns.

Cool! Tell her to tell him he's doing an awesome job for me! I posted a comment on the 5th one, but I think it's wonderful he's doing this series. Especially actually being able to hear the pronunciations.. books and language keys are great, but I like the whole 'multi-media' way of learning. Brings everything together so greatly :)

and thanks for the link to add.. (vingolf) :) I will do that! :cheers:

Yeah.. I'm still working on the page.. I think I need to move that wolf in the snow pic javaapplet to a different page because it 'killed' the "tiny roaming Mjollnir" .. plus it probably makes it slower to load on dial-up...but I really really like it. I also need to fix the special characters.. I just installed firefox (because one of my co-workers recommended it highly) and for some reason the special characters don't display right.. but they still are ok in microsoft's IE. *shrugs* I used the alt+number codes originally to make the characters... so I need to search and find something that works for both (and hopefully netscape too) I searched firefox and found a plugin but apparently it doesn't work.. *grumble*

Thanks again for the link-suggestion :)

Well, there's much debate about whether the "important words" were pronounced as in modern Icelandic or as in reconstructed Old Norse...

Personally, I'm neither Icelandic or Old Norse (old & hoarse, maybe :lol: ), so I pronounce the "important words" with a redneck accent... ;)

I pronounce them with an Aussie accent _inabox_

Thank for the link heathenmom, I really have enjoyed these videos, and as a newbie to Heathenry and Asatru they helped me grip a few concepts better! I've also checked out a few of your little youtube rambles. :P

Thanks for posting this. I would never have come across these videos otherwise, YouTube is too vast for me! I have watched the first few so far and have found them very informative and helpful.
