Why does Wodan/Odin seem like such an atypical king of the gods figure?
He's quite unlike other skygod figures in indoeuropean belief systems. He's not associated with the sun as most of the others are. He has more of a dionysian element, whereas most other skygods definitely are more apollonian.
What caused this development? Is it a remnant of pre-indoeuropean beliefs?
>>
The most important aspect of Odin is transgression and the power of will to manipulate reality. He's an usurper by nature.
>>
>>14776056
fitting he live shis life fearing and preparing for the reckonig. When entities stronger than him will come to avenge his transgression.
Not a very explored archetype in fiction or myth. The knowing usurper consumed by dread and fear of their eventual slaying by the worthy.
I can kind of emphatize.

Eh, that's not quite the takeaway you should get from it. Odin is Lord precisely because he took it by his own hands. It's a lesson in self-overcoming into the ubermensch.

Let's ignore that "Apollonian vs Dionysian" means nothing for a moment here: Odin is plenty Apollonian.

Pop culture focusing solely on him as a wandering wizard getting into hijinks instead of him being the Allfather ruling the cosmos from a golden throne in a celestial fortress at the highest point in the universe.

Most kangs in IE religions aren't though. They are associated with the sky. The sun is generally tied to another entity (apollo, sol, surya) than the sky father (Zeus, indra)

Odin has always been the Skyfather; there's no Skyfather imagery associated with Tyr.

Not him, but we definitely have stories of Odin ruling from his hall of Hliðskjálf. We only have two major sources of Norse mythology, the poetic edda and the prose edda, and both of them contain stories of that sort. It's just that things like the Gylfaginning, Völuspá, and Grímnismál are a lot less popular to modern audiences than stuff like the Lokasenna, Þrymskviða, or Hárbarðsljóð
>>
>>14776692
Correct. As already stated, and as you confirmed, *Deywos and *Dyew(s)- both derive from the same root, *di-. They are not the same word, they both derive from the same root. *Deywos (bright, shining) entered Proto-Germanic as *tiwaz, Old English as "tiw", and Old Norse as "tyr". This is why it is used in noun-incorporation in the names of various Gods (Odin is "Odintyr", Thor is "Thortyr", etc), because it just means "Bright" or "Shining".

*Dyew(s)- doesn't have a Proto-Germanic descendent, but if it did it would enter Proto-Germanic as *dau or *dewwa, leading to either something like "taw" or "tiw" (the former would rhyme with "jaw", the latter would by pronounced identically to "tiw").

What likely happened is that the Indo-Europeans that would go on to become the Proto-Germanics stopped referring to him as Dyeus Pther and just started calling him Odin or the Allfather, leading to *dyew(s)- (or more accurately some halfway transitionary term).
>>

you do realize that we have two big books on this stuff and a gazillion smaller texts right?
>>
>>14776787
>Not him, but we definitely have stories of Odin ruling from his hall of Hliðskjálf.
Odin uses Hlithskjalf specifically for the purpose of finding opportunities to go on "wandering wizard hijinks," like in griminismal. Adventuring in disguise is such a core element of his character in the mythological poetry, and also the heroic poetry and sagas, whereas being "king of the gods" is practically non-existent.
>We only have two major sources of Norse mythology, the poetic edda and the prose edda
Make that just the poetic edda, Snorri's work is fanfiction except for when he's quoting to the same poems that are already in the poetic edda.

>>
>>14776790
Odin etymology is derivative from rage/madness/frenzy. It has nothing to do with the skyfather.
Try/dye mean bright. Tyr was the sky father.
Your bizarre copes are meaningless
>>
I like Odin much more than the skyfather DESU. Reminds me of Faust. And the questing knight archetype, but more tragical and magical
More interesting figure.
He is probably the psychopomp/mercury though.
>>
>>14776834
>rage/madness/frenzy
So the Skyfather, who is associated with "rage/madness/frenzy" in Greece, in Italy, in Anatolia, and in India.

>Try/dye mean bright
No idea what you're trying to say here.

>Tyr was the sky father.
No he wasn't. He doesn't wield a spear, he isn't a king, he isn't the father of all creation, he isn't married to the Earth-Mother, he doesn't have a son who is the Striker, he has no head imagery associated with him, he doesn't rule the world, he has nothing to do with hanging, and isn't associated with the cosmic cow.

Meanwhile, compare Odin, who does wield a spear, is a king, is the father of all creation, is married to the Earth-Mother, has a son who is the Striker, has tons of head imagery associated with him, rules the world, is associated with hanging, and is associated with the cosmic cow.

So, by etymology, you're wrong (and easily demonstrable to, Calvert Watkins was writing about this back in the 80s), and by mythology, you're also wrong.
>>

>okay so you're right but...
Goal posts etc.

>being "king of the gods" is practically non-existent.
He literally cited the poems where this is the case.

>Snorri's work is fanfiction
No it's not. Even in the euhemeristic stuff, he's just euhemerizing existing narratives that have cognates in other Indo-European religions. For example, the part where totally-just-a-human-Odin teaches men how to call down meteors to blow up subterranean dragons is in the Rig Veda, and Saxo's totally-not-a-God-Balder narrative is 1:1 with stories also in the Rig Veda and the Hellenic corpus.

>These are literally wandering wizard hijinks stories
That you haven't read because Odin is described as a king in them.
>>
>>14776869
Grimnismal is also where he does a pretty 1:1 alignment with Agni (who is also Shiva, who is the Skyfather), but that also shows up in other stories (you already mentioned Snorri's telling of this), complete with him being a ritual fire.
>>
>>14776833
>Odin uses Hlithskjalf specifically for the purpose of finding opportunities to go on "wandering wizard hijinks," like in griminisma
No, it's actually where he lives. You're simply arguing from your conclusion that Odin's primary mythic role is some wandering wizard adventurer.

> is such a core element of his character in the mythological poetry, and also the heroic poetry and sagas, whereas being "king of the gods" is practically non-existent.
No it isn't.

>Make that just the poetic edda, Snorri's work is fanfiction except for when he's quoting to the same poems that are already in the poetic edda.
More baseless conclusions.

>These are literally wandering wizard hijinks stories, what are you talking about
You have clearly never read them. The Völuspá never actually leaves the initial field it is set in. Odin bids a wise woman to speak and she tells what is essentially a creation/categorization myth, including Odin's role as king of the gods. There is no adventuring, unless you want to count the recitation of how Odin and his brothers killed Ymir.

The Grímnismál likewise never actually leaves
Hlidskjalf, with Odin seeing what's going on in Midgard and recalling a past adventure, reinforcing how he is the judge and ruler of the cosmos and his almost infinite knowledge.
>>
>>14776869
>No it's not. Even in the euhemeristic stuff, he's just euhemerizing existing narratives that have cognates in other Indo-European religions.
Its definitely the case that snorri picked up some hints of real myths in his works, evident by the fact that he has access to unique versions of poems in the poetic edda meaning he had some independent source for them, but the real myths are so heavily blended with shit like "the norse gods are ackshually trojan refugees, I know this because "Aesir" sounds like "Asia"" that its just safest to assume that all of his works are fanfiction unless you can convincingly prove otherwise.
>>These are literally wandering wizard hijinks stories
>That you haven't read because Odin is described as a king in them.
Of course he's called that, I'm not denying that he is literally the king of the gods, I'm saying the heavy focus on this trait is revisionist, because all of his stories involve disguised adventuring, whereas the king trait is incidental. When people think of griminismal, they think of odin in disguise being tortured and then eventually getting revenge on geirroth, nobody thinks about the brief prose introduction where king odin is sitting up in heaven arguing with his wife, because its boilerplate.

You haven't read these stories, if you had you'd see that these portions are fucking miniscule, and even then Snorri can't even keep his story about what the Gods are ACKTHYUYUALLY supposed to have been.

how in the fuck can you say the story of odin travelling to the grave of a jotunn women, and using necromancy to resurrect her so she can read his fate is anything other than "wandering wizard hijinks"?
>The Grímnismál likewise never actually leaves Hlidskjalf
thats not my reading of the prose introduction, but even if it was the case, its completely pedantic to say "oh no, this isn't a story of wandering wizard hijinks, its about odin recounting one of his stories of wandering wizard hijinks so its completely different." The core of the story is still the hijinks, not the prose.
>>
>>14776949
No one is arguing that he, like all depictions of the Sky Father, is arguing that there aren't wandering wizard hijinks, we're just pointing out that your initial claim of there ONLY being wandering wizard hijinks is wrong.
>>
>>14776952
>we're just pointing out that your initial claim of there ONLY being wandering wizard hijinks is wrong.
All of his personal stories in the poetic edda center around wandering wizard hijinks. Harbarthsljoth, Voluspa, Griminsmal, Vafthruthnismal, with his regal status usually being incidental. The only time him being a king seems to be relevant is in the story of Brynhildar. In the tiny fragment we have of helreith brynhildars, she explains that odin decides the outcomes of battles, but even this sounds like its connected to the magical spells that odin talks about in havamal (the one where he whispers magical words to shields that cause their users to win in battle).

>All of his personal stories in the poetic edda center around wandering wizard hijinks.
Duh? "The glorious king who rules on his golden throne" isn't a good setup for fun stories to tell. That doesn't mean that, as you originally claimed, it's not there, it's just that it's less conducive to fun setups. The same thing happens in Greece and India, where the pop-cultural interpretation of Zeus is as a lecherous pervert and Shiva is a bumbling drug addicts. Both of these are absolutely not true in the proper theologies of their respective religions. Zeus IS a king. Shiva IS a king. Odin IS a king.

It's there. It's just not as fun to talk about divine tax policies or whatever.

I’m confused

Why is this schizo so upset that Odin is a wandering trickster god?

>>14777154
We have such stories in reference to Odin, and references to his role in such stories. Hell, we have Norsemen telling us how they conceptualize Odin: as a warrior-king sitting in a big citadel in the heavens ruling everything from a giant palace bedecked with gold while his hot wife and her babe-servants pass out magic booze.

Because he was the Hyksos scholar and representative of Thoth, whom in turn was the southern-pie equivalent of the skyfather, being a parallell tribe of osiris (the aesir) alongside Israel.
and his son Thor was a thracian Vanir prince whom had to flee alongside his father when their main allies, whom were the egyptians and northern kingdoms of Israel, lost the battle of Actium.
Mary Magdalene is the same person, or the mother of, the Manx princess Gerða who married Yngvie-Freyr - Njords son - a Vanir that likely had major influence from the tales of he IRL thracian son of Thoth.
Njordr was said to have been taken hostage (because he lost at Actium) and given to the scandi princess Skadi as husband. (sort of an isolation solution like Napoleon received)
Thoth and Njordr (Odin and Thor) were both greeted and integrated as manifestations of the PIE gods and were developed into what we now know as the Norse gods, slightly separate but always the same in spirit as the PIE originator gods.
Tldr;
The child of Mary Magdalene married the grandchild of Thoth in the Hebrides, and gave birth to the people that makes jews seethe.

That's because Odin/Woden/Wotanaz is not the sky god figure. The sky god figure whose name is cognate with Dyaus was Tyr/Tiw/Tiwaz, to whom oaths were sworn. It's possible that the Odin-centricity of our knowledge of Norse Paganism might be because the Icelanders who were the best source were Odin devotees. Odin is definitely cut from the same cloth as Hermes/Mercury, since he's associated with prophesies, speaking to the dead and writing.

>Above all other gods they worship Mercury, and count it no sin, on certain feast-days, to include human victims in the sacrifices offered to him. Hercules and Mars they appease by offerings of animals, in accordance with ordinary civilized custom. Some of the Suebi sacrifice also to Isis. I do not know the origin or explanation of this foreign cult; but the goddess's emblem, being made in the form of a light warship, itself proves that her worship came in from abroad. The Germans do not think it in keeping with the divine majesty to confine gods within walls or to portray them in the likeness of any human countenance. Their holy places are woods and groves, and they apply the names of deities to that hidden presence which is seen only by the eye of reverence.
Hercules - Half god warrior
Mercury - often associated with Artaios of Celts who is a warrior bear deity also deity of bandits merchants and thieves
Mars - god of war
Isis - Romano-Aegyptian goddess of death, implying a warrior goddess? Freyja? Frigg? Frijjo?

Indo-European and Proto-Indo-European are complete fictitious creations. There was no Mother culture/language/ethnicity called Proto-Indo-European. There is zero archeological evidence for it. It is "HYPOTHETICAL" at best.
It is an extremely broad category of culture to the point of complete meaninglessness.
Holy shit In France, Britain, Germany, Norway and Finland alone you have over 20 ethnic groups that came and went with very different Pagan mythos and traditions that went through at least 5 different cultural changes over 5000 years for each area with Paganism in its purest form ( Human and animal sacrifices ) still lingering on in 1100AD amongst the Rus.

There are way more than two sources and yes with the information we have we CAN reconstruct the religion. We even know the calender used, was types of sacrifices for what events, special numbers, how they built their temples, how they used their temples, how their beliefs changed over time, how certain ceremonies were conducted. It just goes on and on.

For some reason norse mythology has some messed up roles
Odin is pushan/pan-hermes, however pushan seems to be associated with goats and goats pull his chariot, but that is what goats do for THOR instead.
Then you have a lot of iconography relative to the skyfather used in odin, but also he follows the role of psychopomp, which is the pushan/pan one, and he is a wandering god related to poetry and language.
Mire so, tyr seems to resemble both the skyfather and mars. So if he was the skyfather before they moved odin into that role, who was mars?

You are wrong. STJ explained there is no evidence Tiw is the sky god just because his name is cognate with sky. That word just means god in Germanic and does not mean sky. Tiw is not father of anyone and is not associated with the sky nor does he have sex with the earth - ODIN DOES.

Sky father is father of many gods, has sex with the earth, founds kingly races. All of these match Odin.

first off the sun is only associated with the sky father as his subordinate. The sun can be his daughter or his eye. The sky father is more closely associated with the dawn, the horse twins and the earth mother than with any solar deity.

Odin is the ancestor of the horse twins - Hengest and Horsa. He is also consort of mother earth - Jord.

Secondly, the Apollonian.Dionysian dichotomy was invented by Nietszche and has no place in serious comparative mythology. But if you are referring to his dark aspects associated with human sacrifice, please remember that Jupiter was also associated with human sacrifice originally too. However the association of Odin with fury, with warrior bands of the koryos, with bears and wolves, may be due to his role as the god of the war band as Kershaw writes.

It may be that the warband god of the burial ground, like Rudra in India, was in Germanic Europe so important that he was merged with the sky father. While in Greece it seems the thunder god got merged with the sky father.

No IE religion preserved the sky father in a pure form. He is always merged with others.

>what is this autism?
How can you deny something that doesn't exist?
There is no mother Indo-European culture in the archeological record.
>somehow a coincidence that half the fucking languages on earth share regular sound correspondences
Umm... Humans are one species with a certain range of producible sounds that are usable in language. Many languages (Especially recently extinct languages) contain completely unique sounds. For example the Czech sound "ř" that was once also found in Poland.
>extremely similar vocabulary and grammar
Lol, yeah no.
>polytheist pantheons that demand burnt sacrifices and fall in to the same few archetypes and even have extremely similar myths
Anyone can chuck shit in a fire anon. It isn't a magical link and the myths are very different. Even in neighboring central European countries.
>You're wrong and I don't care, what I want to know is what...
Ok Pseudo-intellectual anon here is a little test for you. Is the concept of "God" in Hellenistic and Norse mythos the same?
No it isn't. It is drastically different. Norse "Gods" aren't immortal, They grow old, get sick and die in battle. They are more like humans with superhuman physical abilities and magic.
>Are you just seething that Aryans are just as connected with poos as with white people?
Aryans were just ancient Iranians anon. They weren't white or Indian. They didn't create European tech or culture so it is completely irrelevant.

The differences between ancient languages is huge when they should be more similar compared to the modern era if they descended from a common ancestor.
>archaeology and genetics supporting the scenario of a populations of pastoralist tribes expanding from the pontic steppe to those places around the late neolitic/early bronze age
This doesn't make any sense when you look at the locations of different archeological sites going back to 10,000BC (there is no suggestion of such a migration unless you get very creative with the data).
It is purely an arbitrary classification. Also doesn't explain the development of written languages in some places but not in others.
The technology development definitely doesn't suggest it.

All Norse gods have a "Dionysian element", they were only starting the urbanization process in Northern Europe. So they're going to have some weird chthonic traits and dark deeds, especially Odin. But if you have to look at it in the context he's much more similar to Apollo. The asceticism, the focus on wisdom, even the animals they're associated with, etc. In truth Ingvi-Freyr is the closest among Norse gods to Dionysus, or any god of any other pantheon for that matter.

There are some parallels between Gravettiand and IE though. Both coming from the east, the males towering over most locals they encountered, Y-DNA mediated replacement, their technology was different and mostly better, they wore more advanced and decorative clothing, their culture was less advanced in terms of highly detailed art compared to Aurignacians but everything else was simply more impressive. I think EHG and thus IE had some of their ancestry from an isolated pocket of eastern Gravettians, which further explains the autosomal similarities of EHG and WHG. Meanwhile WHG had an autosomal possibly mtDNA mediated resurgence from Aurignacian DNA at the expense of western Gravettian autosomal DNA, leading to them becoming shorter and more neotenous again.
>>
In the fantasy book The Broken Sword Odin is kinda a jackass who more or less manipulates (or does fully engineer in one edition) the death of a family, an act of incest, gifting a cursed weapon to a baby, stealing of a baby etc. all seemingly to hold off Ragnarok.

>a final stage from c. 3,800 BP onwards, where a distinct cluster of Scandinavian individuals dominated by males with I1 Y-haplogroups appears (Extended Data Fig.8E). Using individuals associated with this cluster (Scandinavia_4000BP_3000BP) as sources in supervised ancestry modelling (see “postBA”, Extended Data Fig. 4), we find that it forms the predominant source for later Iron- and Viking Age Scandinavians, as well as ancient European groups outside Scandinavia who have a documented Scandinavian or Germanic association (e.g., Anglo-Saxons, Goths; Extended Data Fig. 4).
>Y-chromosome haplogroup I1 is one of the dominant haplogroups in present-day Scandinavians,s, and we document its earliest occurrence in a ~4,000-year-old individual from Falköping in southern Sweden (NEO220). The rapid expansion of this haplogroup and associated genome-wide ancestry in the early Nordic Bronze Age indicates a considerable reproductive advantage of individuals associated with this cluster over the preceding groups across large parts of Scandinavia.

Yes. This is Greek Mythology 101. Dionysus is Zeus. The Greeks themselves say so. Your "Tyr is actually the Sky Father" argument DOES work here, ironically, because "Zeus" and "Dionysus" derive from the same source (*Dyew(s)-). This is sort of cheating, however, because the "dio-" in Dionysus is actually literally just "Zeus". Specifically, the genitive of "Zeus" (Yes, the genitive of "Ζεύς" is "Διός"), meaning that his name means something like "That of Zeus", originally referring the ecstatic state that was sent out by the Skyfather (hence why Dionysus is partying with the revelers, he's the ecstatic state). A similar sort of phenomena happened in India concerning Vishnu, who was initially just the personified power of Indra's Vajra ("Vishnu" roughly means something like "the ever-present power").

Let's not even get started on Shiva.

>Is any of that characterization accurate?
Yes and no. The actions are somewhat on point, but the intent behind it isn't. The way I see it, in norse mythology, you have a 3-way contrast between the characters of Thor, Odin, and Loki. They run on a spectrum from most good to most bad in the order I listed. Thor is fated to die at ragnarok, but he neither does bad things, nor does he have an evil heart. Odin is in the middle, he is also fated to die at ragnarok, but because of his overwhelming fear, he does bad things, though he isn't necessarily evil. Loki is not fated to die at ragnarok, and he does bad things and for bad reasons.

It's because he's not a god, you can literally witness the euhemerization in real-time. There is no attestation of Odin prior to the 5th century AD, and the first attestation of him as a deity rather than a mortal king is in the 8th or 9th century at best. Thor (or possibly Tyr, though that's somewhat less likely) was the chief god of the Germanic pantheon, equivalent to Poseidon and Perun, and the derivation of Perkwunos of the proto-Indo-Europeans. Odin however is evidently a warrior chief or shaman of the 3rd or 4th centuries who led a priestly revolution that altered Germanic religious practices, and he was eventually deified some centuries after he died.

Ignoring the connection between Tyr->Tiw->Tiwaz->Deiwos->Dyeus->*Dyēus Ph2tḗr seems kind of disingenuous, especially when we know that Tiwaz existed within Germanic cultures for centuries prior to the first archaeological attestation of Odin among North Germanics. Odin remained completely and conspicuously absent in the religion of Southern and Eastern Germanics (i.e., Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals) prior to their Christianization in the 5th-6th centuries. Even within what little is known of Odin's character verified diegetically, none of it corresponds to a sky-father figure; everything that gives Odin characters of a chief deity akin to a PIE Sky-Father is a Christian interpolation by Snorri Sturlusson in the 12th-13th centuries, a -long- time after the conversion of the Danes and Norse.

The bit about blasting the dragon/hill in Ynglinga saga, his eye being the moon/sun, his golden throne being the highest point in the cosmos, how he can see everything from his throne (like the sun), literally everything about how Orlog works (tl;dr it's like the suns rays), his association with storms and lightning (that is to say that he's the one that summons Thor), and Valhalla being a giant golden fortress at the top of the world (the sun) covered in spears (sunrays).

This is leaving out comparisons to the Greek, Hindu, or Slavic mythoses, and is ignoring more abstract Indo-Europeanisms (like his relationship with Freyja who has Dawn Goddess imagery).

>>14792472
The Medinet Habu inscription describes the Denyen (Danaan/Danaoi = incontrovertibly Mycenaean), along with the Ekwesh (Achaoi/Achaeans) as circumcised, like the Hebrews (Danites)

>>
>>14792594
>Ynglinga saga
you realize that was basically fanfiction invented by a Christian monk trying to adapt what little scraps of Norse mythology he could glean from oral tradition into a Christian theological framework, right? that's a bit like taking Dante's Inferno and going "this is what Jesus of Nazareth preached"
>>
>>14792577
>especially when we know that Tiwaz existed within Germanic cultures for centuries prior to the first archaeological attestation of Odin among North Germanics
"Tiwaz" being attested is precisely how we know that Odin is the Skyfather, because "Tiwaz" isn't what the Germanic descendent of *Dyew(s)- would look like. See >>14776790.

>Odin remained completely and conspicuously absent in the religion of Southern and Eastern Germanics (i.e., Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals)
We know basically nothing about these peoples religion period outside of very small snippets, one of which is that they worship "Mercury", who sounds a whole heck of a lot like Odin (psychopomp, inventor of magic, inventor of writing, wanderer, etc) and they were worshiping Odin around the 8th century (as the Old Saxon Baptismal Vow attests).

>everything that gives Odin characters of a chief deity akin to a PIE Sky-Father is a Christian interpolation by Snorri Sturlusson
This is just flat out incorrect. The Poetic Edda pretty clearly makes him the Skyfather. See >>14776859.
>Meanwhile, compare Odin, who does wield a spear, is a king, is the father of all creation, is married to the Earth-Mother, has a son who is the Striker, has tons of head imagery associated with him, rules the world, is associated with hanging, and is associated with the cosmic cow.
That's all in the Poetic Edda, we don't need Snorri to tell us any of that.
>>
>>14792611
>invented by a Christian monk
Snorri wasn't a Christian monk. He wasn't even a cleric, he was a nobleman. You also haven't read the Prose Edda.

Also, you have to pick. Is it either
>fanfiction
or
>Norse mythology he could glean from oral tradition
Because it can't be both. He either made it up, or he's relaying information.

>Christian theological framework
No, Jews did not invent the idea of an afterlife, although you could make a good argument that the Jews got the idea of an afterlife realm from Indo-Europeans.

So in other words its fake made up bullshit that has nothing to do with what the Germanics actually believed. Tell me when you obtain contemporaneous Scandinavian literature. OH WAIT - YOU CAN'T, BECAUSE GERMANICS WERE AN ILLITERATE CULTURE THAT FORBADE THE TRANSCRIPTION OF THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
>>
>>14792633
By definition, if he was literate in the medieval era, he was a cleric. You're right about the monk bit, I confused his position with Saemundr the Learned, the Christian priest who composed the Poetic Edda.
>>
>>14792646
The Poetic Edda dates to around 900AD, we can tell by the language and the fact that there are lines from it in earlier texts. Thus, the Poetic Edda either draws from an extant oral tradition, or draws from texts written down that were drawing from an extant oral tradition. We can also compare the archaeological record, which visually displays many of the stories in the texts (such as Odin hanging on the tree, or Thor's fishing trip).

>ILLITERATE
Runes.

>THAT FORBADE THE TRANSCRIPTION OF THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
I don't think that you're in any position to have an opinion on this topic given that you haven't done the slightest bit of research on it.

>>14792651
No, he was not. "Cleric" in Christianity has a very specific meaning. He was not an ordained clergyman of the Catholic Church.

>Saemundr the Learned
Did not write the Poetic Edda, as the numerous hands throughout the text demonstrate, although Lutheran tradition holds that he does.

and guess what, the major apostle preaching the end of circumsition (Saul of tarsus aka st. Paul) was one of 2 apostles to visit britain, specifically the lesser isles - the maritime region from which Gerða was a native - the founding mother of the Ynglings/Angles.
wouldn't be too hard to believe that a princess would hear the new teachings of her tribal superior and stop circumsition after that.
Paulian christianity is also remarkably aligned with the very earliest celtic/nordic arianist view of christ as the human son of god, similar to the dynamic between Thor and Odin, ringing especially true when one considers that Thoth is Enoch - the undisputable biblical lineage of God.
the fault that many people act out is to believe that things are further separated than they really are.

Pre-Bronze Age Collapse Linear B inscriptions in certain Mycenaean sites do not attest "Zeus" as such, but routinely refer to "Di-wo" (obvious Deiwos etymology) and "Di-wo-nu-so" interchangeably. Interestingly, this Di-wo "Zeus" does seem to be (occasionally, though not always) a king of the gods in the stereotypical sky-father role, though without the complex genealogy of Kronos, Uranus, Chaos, Typhon, etc, and also lacking the thunder-god associations and endless love affairs which are developments of classical antiquity and Hesiod, but further compounding the confusion is that the Di-wo "Zeus" is equally associated with wine and grape cultivation that Dionysus is, which makes the separation of them into two distinct deities a later innovation.
However, most Mycenaean "literature", such as it is, suggests that Poseidon was worshiped as the primary war and thunder deity in an almost identical fashion to traditional Germanic mythology of Thor, who occupied the chief position in that pantheon before the Odin-innovation of the Anno Domini.

nta but this is retarded. Runes predate the earliest gokturk alphabet by many centuries, almost a millennia. Modern scholars are fairly certain that if any cultures played a role in the development of futhark it was Etruscans, with a smaller camp saying possibly ancient Greeks like how the Gothic alphabet (also predating gokturk alphabet by centuries) was inspired by Greeks/eastern Romans who educated them.
>>
>>14793507
Wikipedia itself has little to say on the subject (which is odd, since I distinctly remember the article being substantially more fleshed out when I first looked at it several years ago) but the citations it links to are interesting. They all uniformly state that Dionysus is the earliest attested god in the Mycenaean pantheon, which is a seemingly bizarre state of affairs for what Hesiod describes as little more than a throwaway divinity of drunken debauchery, and suggests the reality is far deeper than that - though of course this is all inference, as there is no "smoking gun" that explicitly spells out archaic pre-Greek religious beliefs saying "Dionysus and Zeus are actually the same deity, and it's a generic standardized PIE sky-father figure"

I'm not wholly convinced of this because the pre-Greek substratum is almost impossible to unravel, and Minoan Linear A is untranslatable.
>So Zeus almost fused with Dionysus?
It's safer to claim the obverse - Zeus and Dionysus split overtime from a single original identity that contained all the relevant mythological associations of both gods. Sort of like how the paleo-hebrews had bunch of different names for the same God: El, Elohim, El Elyon, El Shaddai, Sabaoth, Adonai, and finally Yahweh, though with the ironic counter-proposal of modern "scholars" that these are all indicators of an entire polytheistic pantheon of separate deities.

Predominately Minoans Crete as they seem to have been far more influential on Mycenaean culture than previously understood. Before that most recent paper came out showing many J2a finds many were expecting more J2b and of course R1b with some I2 which have been found in Yamnaya burials around all the eastern Mediterranean.
>tell me more
I'll look for a good source but yes it has been postulated for some time that the cult of Dionysus started in Minoans Crete but it's one of many candidates, evidence is very sparse where it does exist.

I'm not on board with Dionysus being the same as Zeus but it's entirely possible he had a similar function before the Greek dark ages, and it's certain he had far more importance in the bronze age than the classical age with the many cultural reforms of that era.

>absent in other IE pantheons
I'm normally not one to practice synchronism but it's kind of on topic for this thread. The god Ingvi or Freyr in the Norse pantheon is very similar to Dionysus and he's really an exception among northern Europeans like Celts and Slavs, other equivalents for Freyr are kind of absent. And like Dionysus it seems he lost importance as the ages passed.

>journals

R1b are the more domestic warrior caste, the Huskarls, Wolf-warriors, and Berserkers serving wealthy I1 Gentry.
I1 burials are almost always wealthy.
R1a burials are almost viking style burials, like farmer-warriors.
R1b burials are always indicative of men who lived outside normal society, either very wealthy with many weapons but not a ruler or very poor with the tools of an mountaineer or outlaw.

Wasnt it just Spanish HGs who were Aurignacians thrice removed?
They were something like 70% WHG and 30% Magdalenian, The Magdalenians themselves being 45% Aurignacian.
not all WHGs were manlets, some were quite large, but they are generally more common near Eastern Europe rather than Western Europe, but worth noting also Western WHGs have larger bros and broader frames than Eastern ones with Central WHGs from Central Euro being the smaller ones, like Bichon man.

ANE was probably something like an archaic Aurignacian + something like a Gravettian.
ANE and WHG are fairly close together despite being nearly 70k years apart.
They should be as distant as pygmies and abos, but they are generally within the Common West Eurasian cline, forming the two extremes however.

"Giant" is just a word the Norse used to refer to the 'others'.
No one said they were literal large creatures you fucking imbecile, also the norse did describe some "Giants" as actual large beings.

for you to say the "other" in Norse myths were not at least inspired by if not outright a description of, some rival tribe in the primeval fog of Nordic Europe is just complete garbage.

>Adventuring in disguise is such a core element of his character in the mythological poetry
That's an element of all IE religions, it's not unique to Odin in any way.
Zeus also visits mortals in disguise, sometimes as a beggar, see Baucis and Philemon, and sometimes as an animal. Vishnu rarely shows his true form to mortals, instead using his avatars to influence the world. He disguises as Vamana to trick Mahabali into giving up his conquests.

The Winnili asked for Godan to judge them worthy of victory. Odin being a divine judge is attested among non-Norse Germanic peoples.

He did wander around and coom and cheat on his wife according to the sagas though

Many translators and academics have brought that up over the years, there is a discrepancy between saga Odin and Edda Odin. Saga Odin is way more mysterious, cruel and manipulative like Zeus. Edda Odin is more fatherly.

Originally norse had either Tyr or Thor as their chief king of the gods, depending on the tribe/zone.
The rise of popularity of Wotan/Odin was a later developement. In some places Thor was still the chief God and wasnt considered a mere son of Odin. But the most prominent tribes the christians interacted with where pro-Odin, so we mostly knew the mythology from their PoV.
Interestingly enough, Gauls had a similar developement many centuries before. By the time Caesar came and wrote his De Bello Gallico, the most popular God among the gauls was Lugh/Mercury. Their likely influenced the continental germans with their Wotan/Mercury, and eventually this esoteric warrior-poet god spread it's cult in northen scandinavia

vikings were arianists since before roman catholics arrived.
the war on catholics was a war on rome, not christianity.

This all reminds me the theory that primaries tribes were originally monotheistic then as they became more advanced, they became more polytheistic.
>Greek and Norse in particular: Older and primordial elements rule first, only to be usurped by a younger generation of gods.
>IE in general: Sky Father like Rod is worshipped, but then is put aside in favor of minor gods like Perun that become more influential.
Seems like daemons/elohim tried to repel against loyalist angels of God, failed, and rewrote history that they won against The Most High.

Do you have a sauce for this first bit? Many people say things like this but I've never seen much evidence for it. The explanations that relate to class, such as Thor being mainly a god of freemen and karls make more sense as for some time even among non-Norse Germanic cultures Thor was still revered long after Christianization took hold of their societies. And when you consider how jarls and kings made themselves in pre-Christian times, as well as alleged traditions like the Ulfhednar and Berserkers, Odin being held as the most high among them makes perfect sense (something similar had been said of other Germanic peoples and the rituals of warrior-elite to the Allfather even long after conversion shockingly, the Franks notably come to mind). So it makes sense how Tyr and Freyr lost cosmic function in a sense as north Germanic culture mutated away from older Germanic traditions and became more devoted to Odin, because he was so integral to iron age warrior tradition among seemingly most Germanic peoples.

Now if you were to apply your claim to the whole of Germanic history I would say that you would likely be correct. But since the runes aren't old enough and the symbolism is difficult to decipher we don't know. There are phallic statues which could imply something to Freyr, there is symbolism in rock art that could imply Thor or Tyr. We don't know but it still would make sense just in the broader IE tradition as we understand it.

No he wasn't. This was fake euhemerism added by snorri to make the revelation of the Aryan Eddas more acceptable to the (((christian))) overseers at the time. Odin is Northern (Nordic) European Aryan Teutonic. And you will not stop the awakening and you will not stop the hailing of Odin sire by the sons OF Odin. The wanderer returns. Eat shit.

No, he doesn't, because it's wrong. It's a purely etymological argument. See >>14776790

>>14799797
NTA but there's some precedent in place names. Tyr and Thor's names occur frequently in the names of various settlements and regions across scandinavia and iceland, whereas Odin's name doesn't, most likely because the normal agrarian scandis who worshipped Thor would've seen Odin, a cowardly sorcerer and deceiver, as not being representative of their interests (See Harbarthsljoth). Odin seemingly became more popular around the 800s when the valhalla myth was invented and justified the emerging viking lifestyle.

It's one thing to use it as a post-hoc aesthetic dialectic, it's another to claim it's historically valid. The Greeks didn't see the Olympians and Cthonic gods as intrinsically separate.

What? Ragnarok has nothing to do with worthiness, it's the insistence of finitude in all things. Fenrir is a personification of man's rule over the world and nature, it grows beyond your control and destroys you. Your son avenges then avenges you and from the end comes a new beginning. Did you even read the Edda?

Odin is a grim motherfucker because he gave up his eye for wisdom, and sees both the future and the past. He knows the end and he knows everything he must do before he meets it.

"jews" are the judahites whom are cucked by Saul.
Jesus was the opposition to Saul, which by definition is non-jewish.
when judahites become addicted to self-loathing, they become kikes.
the ones who realized whom jesus was, became christian judahites and reuniters of israel.
modern day israel is a corpse run by jewish kikes, denying their own king despite hoardes of outsiders telling them who their legitimate king is.
its all so comically sadistic.

The Rod shit is a complete meme. Rod is barely mentioned in historical documents (and completely absent from folklore) compared to Perun. We can't even be sure he was ever seen as a proper god, and not just some kind of a spirit or an allegoric figure. It was a single Soviet scholar who created the theory about Rod being the supreme god (based in virtually nothing), which later got accepted and popularized by neo-pagans.
