Random Heathen Ramblings: S4, EP14 - Odinism Vs. Cult Of Odin · Random Heathen Ramblings

0:01
Hello everyone and welcome to the random Heathen ramblings
0:03
podcast, where we discuss all sorts of things.
0:06
Dramatic, Heathen re related. My name is Jessie.
0:09
I am your host. Let's get into it.
0:32
Hello everyone, and welcome back to this week's episode of the
0:36
random Heathen ramblas podcast. Hope you've all had a good
0:41
weekend, a blessed and Victorious, Seeger bloat.
0:46
The Seeger bloat festivities was three days long during this
0:50
past, full moon. This past week, which was a pink
0:52
moon believe as they call it every year.
0:57
So, you know, my tribe and I, we gathered my wife and, of course,
1:00
all of us we gathered for that on Saturday night, had a great,
1:05
great fun time and I hope you all did too.
1:11
So this week's episode is been a long one coming.
1:17
I've been kind of sitting on this topic for a little while
1:20
now, mainly just because well a couple of reasons.
1:25
Number one is I've had other other stuff that I wanted to put
1:30
out as well or wanted to put out first and and then secondly is I
1:37
just have been dreading dreading this one.
1:42
There's there's times when we You know, put put put forth a
1:48
task that we just don't want to want to see complete and this is
1:54
one of them. So I suspect that by the end of
1:59
this episode. If not before the end, I will
2:03
have some pretty vigorous feedback from certain
2:08
individuals or certain folks out here and will likely lose some
2:12
subscribers, but I don't care or followers or whatever.
2:15
So, if you get to the end of this episode, and what I'm
2:19
saying, just doesn't jive with your flavor, you know, things
2:23
don't line up with your view of the world.
2:25
Then feel free to disregard everything else that I've said
2:29
or stood for over the last. Was it now Four years that I've
2:36
been releasing content on this platform.
2:40
You know, you can disregard all of that and hang yourself on the
2:45
words that I'm saying today. And I mean, that in all do
2:49
sincerity, if you want to hang on anything.
2:52
Then, hang on, the words that I say today about this particular
2:55
topic because this is the end of it.
2:58
This is this is it and I'm not going to, I'm not going to
3:07
respond to comments. I'm not going to engage with any
3:14
anything to do with this so you can send an email, you can
3:19
comment about it, you can do whatever you want to do about if
3:22
you feel that way. But I would just assume you
3:25
silently. See yourself out, if this
3:28
doesn't sit well with you at all. so today's episode is going
3:36
to be talking a bit about the differences between this
3:42
fascination with Odin, right? With people nowadays and want to
3:47
want to refer to as Odin is mmm. That and and the difference
3:54
between that and the cult of Odin or a cult of Odin and the
3:59
variables are the differences between these two things.
4:02
So I just want to preface this. By saying that ago you can call
4:06
yourself whatever you want. You can identify as whatever you
4:10
want in Heathen re you know you can call yourself a dramatic
4:15
polytheist a Norse Pagan. You want to call yourself a
4:20
viking. Go ahead.
4:21
Ed. But we've had this, we've had,
4:25
we've had, we've gone rounds on this podcast.
4:27
And we've talked at length about how we're not really Vikings.
4:30
But look, if you want to call yourself that, whatever I'm not,
4:35
I'm not the one that picks your socks on in the morning or
4:38
picture outfit out for the day, so you can do whatever you want
4:41
and call yourself whatever you want.
4:44
I mean, I've been called all kinds of things I get on here
4:46
and I wear tunics and I wear other things that kind of get me
4:52
into the The presentation mode of this podcast and I get
4:57
called, you know, cosplay Viking want to be, or larper, or this
5:01
or that. And, you know, nobody majority.
5:05
These people don't know me. None of the people who say that
5:07
actually know me because if they did, they know how just how
5:11
wrong they are. So again, what's in a name, a
5:15
name is a name and one of the names that for some reason,
5:20
people want to defend Or standby in the modern Heathen day.
5:26
Isn't they are Odin assists. I'm an onanist.
5:32
And I firmly believe that anyone that wants to adopt that name or
5:39
adopt that title or use that to identify themselves.
5:43
As a heathen, is not a heathen there.
5:45
There is nothing about Odin is mm.
5:48
I mean there might be some nuances, but, but ultimately
5:51
onanism is, is Not Heathen re & 2.
5:55
Use that as an umbrella term for Heathen, re I feel very strongly
6:01
against it. Could be that if someone saying
6:05
it out of ignorance because they think that's, that's the term.
6:07
Like, I remember years ago, I was called a noticed, and I
6:11
quickly corrected that person, I said, no, no, no, I am not an
6:15
onanist. I am a pagan and I'm Heathen,
6:19
you know, my path of spirituality, my religious
6:23
practices would be Defined as a Germanic Pagan or dramatic.
6:29
Even Norse even whatever, but I'm definitely not a no danis.
6:32
Don't, don't. Misconstrue that were to be
6:35
lumped into what I believe in. But I can see why some people
6:40
whether through ignorance or just maybe discovering this path
6:44
or through other information would put Odin ISM under the
6:48
same umbrella as he didn't work. Because if you got online and
6:52
you start looking up you know origins of Odin is Or what is
6:55
Odin is MM and what is it to be a, no danis and all this time.
6:58
So if you're Googling that on the internet you're going to
7:00
find a lot of things that point back to northern European
7:03
spirituality. You know and That's a term that
7:09
gets used to describe even read as well, right?
7:14
In an indigenous folk way of northern European people.
7:23
So I wanted to talk today about that and the differences between
7:28
that and actual The actual Cult of Odin so much as we know or
7:35
how this Cult of Odin would have existed because to be an onanist
7:38
is not to be Heathen. We're going to get into some of
7:42
that here in a bit but that if you have a, have an affinity
7:46
towards Odin, or any one of his multiple names, or any of the
7:51
names of his origin. So Walden has built on, who
7:56
didn't Within, I mean whatever name you want to attest to this
8:04
figure? If that's your Affinity, it
8:09
might be worth noting some things to keep in mind about it
8:14
and I want to start off with that.
8:16
I want to start off with talking about the cult of Odin, you
8:22
know. So some things to bear in mind
8:29
actually write what we know of from Information that we've
8:36
learned scholarly work, historical evidence.
8:41
Academic work, you know, whether its archaeological, whatever.
8:47
We know. Enough that Odin as Odin right
8:53
was. A deity, a figure that was
8:59
definitely, you know, venerated and worshipped in.
9:05
In Scandinavia in northern Europe but that that came
9:08
through later on in Scandinavian history.
9:15
And we also know that for the most part that that Odin was a
9:19
God that was not venerated by everyone or by the the the major
9:26
population Odin tends to be seen as a god associated with, The
9:36
elite, the either, the warrior Elite, the political Elite, the
9:41
aristocracy the nobility royalty, he was not a god of the
9:47
people for the, for the, for the majority speaking.
9:52
And again, we don't even see his his his presence as Odin being
9:58
inserted into Scandinavia until You know, after the like 6th
10:08
Century or so. Cee or BC.
10:18
I believe that's that's accurate.
10:19
But so some things that we know of for for a fact write that
10:24
Around the 13th century you know?
10:26
So that's going to be like what the the 1200s Odin was.
10:32
transformed from the, The war, god, the god of death.
10:38
God of poetry, the all of these things that have his Origins
10:42
from Continental. Mainland Europe, where he came
10:47
from, where this idea came from. Because again, it's important to
10:51
realize that the northern Scandinavian countries, didn't,
10:58
Didn't find out about this Odin figure until the Germanic tribes
11:02
moved North and started to invade and all this around the
11:04
13th century Odin changed and transformed the bed in terms of
11:08
his his figure by the ever-growing and strong
11:16
Christianity movements that were that were happening at the time
11:19
you know? So a lot of his A lot of his
11:24
attributes became Godlike. In the sense of the the
11:29
abrahamic, God, you know, or christ-like.
11:32
If you will, we see a lot of similarities or Parallels
11:36
between the Christian myth and Christian lore that again has
11:43
parallels to the Germanic or Norse in Scandinavian lore You
11:48
know, Jesus, God, who hangs on a cross sacrifices himself to
11:54
himself, literally God in the form of Jesus.
12:00
Being sacrificed as the ultimate sacrifice.
12:03
Odin hanging himself again different hanging but still a
12:08
hang the god. Motif definitely is.
12:14
Evident. Now, we know that the that, that
12:17
hanging sacrifices hanging sacrifices, were a thing.
12:25
And that's, that's definitely evident in such a tiff stations
12:30
as Adam of Bremen. Who is?
12:33
I believe the, the person that documents the human sacrifices
12:38
that were done, every nine years in uppsala, Rolled up Salah
12:43
Sweden. So that's one thing we know of.
12:49
We also know that Odin Wasn't always a central figure in
12:55
Scandinavia, and that it was not.
13:00
You know Odin was not an indigenous God to the far north.
13:03
He was he was brought up again from the south and from the
13:08
lower Continental Mainland Germanic countries that came
13:14
through by way of I believe like Denmark, you know?
13:16
So as We start seeing things. Move further up is, when we
13:23
start seeing Odin becoming relevant up there, for the most
13:27
part, you know, the the swedes held on to freyr as their major
13:34
deity, right? So Odin wasn't even a main
13:38
figure until until later on. It's probably during, like I
13:44
said, the late 5th early, 6th Century.
13:47
These when we start seeing or when we, when we have like
13:54
historical evidence archaeological, evidence of
13:56
there, being a God who may have possibly later become this Odin
14:00
figure, you know, the whoa Dinars name But it's really only
14:05
during like that. The Viking age that that Odin
14:09
became a central figure of religious Focus again, it was
14:15
because of the introduction of him by the Germanic tribes
14:20
during their Invasion. So the cult of Odin as it were
14:24
this, this Cult of specific followers that that adhere to,
14:28
or wanted to adhere to a worship of Odin almost exclusively.
14:34
Was happening around again, the sixth century and as I mentioned
14:41
before it was it was isolated or or kept pretty.
14:46
Restricted to the aristocracy though the political and Warrior
14:52
Elites so Kings nobility. Chieftains perhaps, you know,
14:57
these these were the types of figures that that had a focus on
15:02
Odin. And that's a lot of, you know,
15:06
again it's pretty condensed. I'm not going to need to go into
15:09
a lot of great detail. You guys can do it, your own
15:12
research on this, Cult of Odin, because there were, there were a
15:17
lot of different Cults of God's. You know what I mean?
15:19
There was evidence of Cults of Thor.
15:22
Have colts of freyr, may be free or frigg.
15:28
Freya. I mean, so there's that there's
15:30
that the bait of our Freya and freak the same where they ever
15:36
separate. How do you know, where they the
15:37
same thing and just became separate later on that sort of
15:39
thing. But we have, you know, you can
15:42
do your own research on that. It's, it would be a very long
15:45
podcast to go into those specific things.
15:47
But we know that there are or where I should say, a specific
15:53
focus by certain people at a certain time to venerate, Odin,
15:59
that is not the same. As Odin is mmm in the modern day
16:03
there in the modern context. So, as we focused on fact, for
16:13
The Cult of Odin, let's look at some facts regarding Odin is mm.
16:18
So when did it all originated, It is not a old thing, it it
16:26
doesn't predate. The early, I think it doesn't
16:32
predate like the mid 20th century early 20th century,
16:36
maybe at the latest, but it originated by a guy who was an
16:41
Australian lawyer and a particular facet, he had a
16:46
particular fascination with, with fascism.
16:49
All right. It's name is Alexander.
16:51
Rudd Mills and Mills had little to no scholarly background.
17:00
You know, he was again, fascinated with with Fascism and
17:04
and trying to as he would later write about bringing, you know,
17:08
the indigenous religion back to the British people's.
17:13
So on so forth. So he was he was kind of just He
17:21
was a whack job. I mean he had no scholarly work,
17:25
background at that time to know what it was that he was actually
17:28
doing to try and reconstruct or bring back old ways.
17:34
He even re or old ways paganism. You know whether you call it
17:37
indigenous, he even re or indigenous beliefs of people of
17:41
Northern Europe. He just had a fascination with
17:45
with Fascism and this was This is where he found it that to
17:49
work for him. His his version of Odin is mm.
17:53
So Mills has only missed liturgy.
17:56
Actually is heavily based on an on an Anglican Christian order
18:01
of worship. He had published a couple of
18:03
books by the mid-1950s, I would say, I think it was, like, 1957
18:08
is I had a couple of books published by then or around then
18:13
and, you know, so you can, you can research that and find out
18:17
his again. Alexander Rudd Mills or a red
18:20
Mills and just search what books he wrote and it's riddled with
18:24
with again in the Anglican Christian orders of things, you
18:28
know, when to do certain things, you know, just Certain rights of
18:35
B, that certain times of the day and blabbity blabbity blah.
18:40
So that's where Odin is. Mmm.
18:43
Originated was with with this Australian fascist whom so
18:49
happen to be a lawyer. So fast forward a few decades,
18:54
maybe and enter the oh Dana krait Which is. one of the
19:04
organizations that is still to this day recognized as a White
19:11
supremacist organization, and they Define Odin ISM as a
19:18
natural religion of the people of Northern Europe.
19:23
Which is again not true. Go back to the fact that, you
19:28
know, again you call it whatever you want but if you're calling
19:30
it something wrong, then you gotta stop it.
19:33
You know, if you're a heathen and none of the values of Odin
19:36
ISM or the, oh Dana Crichton anything that it's a soak.
19:40
Then simply don't call yourself that you know, if I don't want
19:43
to be associated with something because of the negative
19:48
connotations that that name has then I'm not going to call
19:52
myself that you know. Oh well this misunderstood I
19:54
it's not really misunderstood. I think you just delusional and
19:57
that you're unwilling to face the music and face the facts of
20:01
what of what the facts truly are.
20:04
You know, again that being that the edenic, right?
20:10
Odin is. Mm, are all very, very modern
20:14
movements and and all very modern takes on something and
20:18
it's in, it's a Miss, it's a skewed, take on actual Heathen,
20:24
re on actual Germanic paganism. A lot of not, I don't know if a
20:29
lot of, you know, but also the infamous nine Noble virtues.
20:34
Which everybody seems to, you know, get all up in arms about
20:39
and I've done short form content about and I've had a lot of
20:42
backlash on that it was information.
20:44
I was sharing information and trying to educate and whatnot.
20:46
The deal the old inuk right? Is the organization that
20:50
codified the nine Noble virtues which is which is why I do not
20:59
Have any of that, a part of my, you know, my repertoire of heat
21:03
and I don't, I don't need that to be a good Pagan.
21:06
I don't need those charges or those codes of conduct, nothing
21:10
really close, or just buzz words, you know?
21:12
I mean, I don't need that. We don't need that and he even
21:16
re and the nine Noble virtues as a thing, just really ought to be
21:22
They ought to be not ever talked about in forgotten because of
21:25
their affiliation in association with the neogenic, right?
21:32
They codified it there. They're the reason why they're
21:35
so popular today. And you know, let's let's let's
21:39
get away from that stuff. We don't need code words.
21:43
We don't need buzzwords to live. The ways that means something to
21:50
us and to our, our, our descendants and the people near
21:54
and dear to us. The authentic right has also
22:00
founded by known. Supremacists known, white
22:05
supremacists in fascist and as I mentioned is still today
22:07
recognized As a white supremacist organization.
22:12
So, when you've got all of that against you, when you've got all
22:17
of those odds stacked against you, why in hell him do would
22:23
you want to have any sort of association with it?
22:26
Why would you want to Defend. Yourself as an onanist.
22:34
You know, knowing that it has all of literally everything bad
22:38
about it associated with it. And again, I say, you know, call
22:45
yourself whatever you want. But I mean shit, if you are
22:48
truly not and and, you know, if you are truly not a supremacist,
22:53
if you are truly not a fascist, if you truly, do not feel that
22:57
things about Focus. Even we are are, are, are wrong
23:01
or if, you know, if you truly feel that things about Focus,
23:04
even re are are just inherently wrong.
23:06
Then don't call yourself an openness.
23:10
You can call yourself a even you know, but if you want to insist
23:13
that oh Dennis is the right term for it.
23:16
Then you're not part of what I believe in near where we're as
23:22
far apart, as the East is from the West.
23:24
We are our values. Do not align.
23:26
We met on the surface to some because of certain symbols that
23:31
we wear looked to be the same thing and that's the big
23:34
problem. When when symbols get
23:36
appropriated by the wrong group, everybody suffers for it.
23:42
Everybody gets you know a a bad rap because of it, you know.
23:51
And I've gone through I've gone through and we all have gone
23:57
through times or phases, may be where we're trying to find
24:00
ourselves or trying to find what it is that we want to identify
24:03
as be called, you know. Associate with etcetera.
24:06
And that's the thing that we land on at the time.
24:09
You know, I can remember at one point especially my early baby
24:15
Heathen days, you know, coming in and thinking, you know, I
24:17
will see you again in Valhalla and all this other kind of stuff
24:19
that I look back at my own value.
24:22
Know they'd be even Jesse. No, that's bunk.
24:26
You know. That's, that's ridiculous.
24:28
That's silly. And no, you don't think that
24:31
way. So you know, we're again if what
24:36
you want to call yourself or identify as is an onanist, then
24:40
then, then you have nothing. I have no part with you.
24:43
We are not similar. We are not alike inherently.
24:48
You know, the again on the surface and on the exterior.
24:51
They seem like there are things that we share in common, but I
24:54
absolutely do not hold to, or, or place any good worth on on
25:00
the values that Odin ISM has as a whole go through and read some
25:06
of the things contained in, on the website for joining the oh
25:10
zdenek. Right, you can't join the o
25:13
zdenek right? If you are not native European,
25:17
okay? So it basically if you can't
25:19
they want you to send a picture. In.
25:23
This is very similar to how the AFA has run things for their
25:28
entire existence since the early 70s, and it's an affront to the
25:36
gods as an affront to our ancestors.
25:37
It's an affront to our people to just people in general, that,
25:42
that were over here. Calling something by a name that
25:50
is associated in calling something of sacredness, right?
25:54
Calling our religion something that is definitely not, not
25:57
sacred, that is riddled, with hate and bigotry.
26:03
And they can make all the excuses they want is, you know,
26:05
it's not hate, it's not about, it's about it's about preserving
26:08
folkways and it's like yeah. But you know what folkways there
26:11
is nothing like that that exists in really any northern European
26:17
countries anymore. I mean, it's so riddled with
26:19
with other influences and things from from proto-indo-european
26:23
cultures to Middle Eastern to to just all over the sorts of
26:29
things. Right?
26:30
What is what is truly indigenous now anymore?
26:33
And and what is being appropriated as such or what is
26:36
being adopted as such. I just I don't I don't see how
26:41
someone who is truly not hateful and not and not bigoted and not
26:46
would want to have the name Odin asan them.
26:48
I wouldn't I don't see why people who are not that way
26:53
Wood. you know, I've had comments on other videos that
26:58
I've done on other podcasts that I've that I've released about
27:02
stuff like this and people are literally just like all of this
27:05
other content that I don't get interaction on, you know, It's
27:11
crickets. And then I post one, you know,
27:13
60 second long thing about. Hey, watch out for Odin this
27:15
because And then here they come out, the woodwork.
27:19
Well, I'm a notice and I'm nothing like that and then, you
27:21
know, my husband's an openness and hey I didn't ever feel that
27:26
way. Well then if you don't feel that
27:27
way and stop calling yourself that Ditch the name.
27:32
Forget it bury it ba get burn it.
27:35
Something get rid of it to stop. Stop identifying as that stop.
27:40
Stop appropriating that as a way of life because it's putting
27:46
honest people that people that are in this life and in and that
27:51
that live this way, you know, honestly truthfully sincerely in
27:57
a bad light and it's in it makes it Very difficult.
28:00
And it, you know, it goes back to a lot of folks out here doing
28:04
so much good, you know, with the name of heathen re behind them
28:09
or In The Name Of Heaven room saying not that they're using
28:12
that as a, as a torch to carry per se.
28:15
But, you know, there's a lot of good being done and it's
28:21
unfortunate that that people are seeing that as a, you know,
28:23
what, it doesn't matter, right? Or wrong.
28:25
It doesn't matter. Don't be using these symbols.
28:27
This is how, you know, problems arise. is how, you know, how
28:31
could a problem arise, if you're doing something, you know,
28:35
rightly and goodly, how could a problem arise, if you're if
28:38
you're doing it for the right reasons, if it's being done for
28:42
the wrong reasons, and of course, it's going to come
28:43
across and or it's going to be seen as being this dishonest and
28:51
disingenuine, and we're in genuine disingenuine, it's
28:56
opposite of genuine It's going to be noted and it's going to be
29:02
seen as such. This isn't it shouldn't be any
29:06
question in people's minds and it shouldn't be something that
29:09
we have to stop. You know, don't don't don't use
29:12
the banner of the Raven don't don't use the hammer, don't
29:16
don't use any of the rooms don't do anything with them in the
29:19
name of you know activism okay, I mean I guess we're just And
29:28
I'm not and I'm not that person, you know, saying I'm not the one
29:31
that's out here, doing it. And I don't ever plan on being
29:36
because I'm much more, much more Hearth Centric, you know what I
29:41
mean? Like, I focus on what's
29:45
happening within my inner circles, my inner yard, and my
29:48
tribe, the immediate extensions of that inner yard.
29:52
I don't worry about the big picture stuff, I'm not in that
29:56
game. I don't I don't have any Than.
30:00
In doing that. I barely had any interest in
30:03
wanting to do this. Because again, it's just, it's
30:07
such a ridiculously stupid topic to have to keep covering and
30:11
keep hashing over and I'm sick of it.
30:14
I'm sick of a lot of things. the older, I get, the less tolerant
30:19
I get and the more I just want to the more I just want to, you
30:25
know, Isolate just get away. And just focus on the things
30:32
that I know, make me and my people happy like my family, my
30:37
inner yard, my inner tribe. You know, I have a very tough
30:42
time in. This might surprise people.
30:49
People that have been following me on this journey of mine that
30:52
have been subscribing to my content that have been
30:55
supporting me over these years. I don't, I don't really like
31:05
Putting myself out of the way for people.
31:07
I don't know. I'm aware once you've proven
31:14
your Worth to me, then I will and your family to me, you know,
31:18
then that's when I will go out of my way and I will be there
31:22
for you. And I mean, I just case in
31:27
point, I was literally starting to record the beginning of this
31:30
podcast. And I get a call five minutes in
31:35
from my father in Lon. Hey, busy.
31:38
I'm like, yeah, kind of doing a podcast.
31:40
What's up? Oh, nothing.
31:42
I'm just You need some help with something.
31:45
I say I'll be there in a minute. I'll be I'll be right there.
31:48
Stop what I was doing here on this podcast.
31:52
And went and helped my family, that's what it's about.
31:56
That's what I'm about. You know, and if what I needed
31:59
to do for my family, you know, prevented me from releasing an
32:07
episode of a podcast this week, then there wouldn't have been a
32:10
podcast this week. That's just it's just as simple
32:14
as that none of this. And I you know, I don't mean to
32:18
sound unappreciative but I mean I do because I appreciate the
32:23
audience that this gets to however small or big or
32:26
whatever, but none of this really matters, you know, by
32:30
stop doing this stuff tomorrow, people will be upset, maybe
32:37
people will be people who miss it and then they'll forget
32:43
they'll forget, they'll move on to the next biggest thing or the
32:47
next podcaster or they'll find something else to occupy their
32:50
time with And that's fine and I'm fine with that.
32:55
I I said, I mean, I I do what I do here because it gives me an
32:59
opportunity to externalize thoughts and talk about things
33:06
that are on my mind and share ideas and maybe it Sparks
33:09
conversation but well, the more and more I go on with, with my
33:18
journey. It's there's, there's, there's
33:21
so much out here in this in this great big world that I really
33:27
don't like. And to talk about it and to
33:33
bring it up and make awareness, it's I have to force myself to
33:35
do it. And as I was mentioning earlier
33:38
in the beginning of the podcast, you know, it's tough to force
33:41
ourselves to get into the doing of things that that we don't
33:44
want to do, but that are needing to be done, you know?
33:53
I know how the conversation went off from from Odin ISM to this.
33:57
But here we are, it's namesake of the podcast, right?
34:01
Random, random ramblings, random Heathen rambling.
34:04
So That's all I do, you know, you guys can call yourself
34:11
whatever they whatever you want to call you, so you can call
34:13
yourselves the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
34:17
Valkyries of Odin for all I care.
34:23
And you can make a church organization.
34:25
You can be you know you can be your own go that you can sell
34:30
for Dane you can do all that crap that what does it mean at
34:34
the end of the day? Nothing.
34:38
You know, people have see here, all here you go, the cell for
34:43
danger the self-proclaimed Chieftain Oakley really Folk.
34:47
Yeah, I got news for you. I'm not self-proclaimed anything
34:49
that title was given to me by my tribe.
34:54
My Tribe, trusts me for that and that's what matters to me.
34:57
Is my tribe. I ain't gotta prove nothing to
35:00
anybody else except for them and my family, and my worth is
35:04
continuously, I'm continuously proving my work because that's
35:10
how it's done. You know, you don't just prove
35:16
your worth one day and then that's it.
35:18
No more proving, no more worthy, you're done, you did everything
35:22
you needed to do. No, it's a constant work in
35:26
progress. It's always, you know, you are
35:29
always proven, your worth your people if you are genuine about
35:35
it, you know, never sit back, never relax and you know, this
35:41
is, this is one of those things that You know, a lot, some
35:47
people could argue and say that well you know you you're proving
35:52
you're worth now because you you said you didn't want to do it
35:54
but now you're doing it, that's something that means a lot.
35:57
I mean, whatever I'm not here to put words in people's mouths and
36:00
I'm not here to put thoughts in people's brains that aren't
36:04
aren't ready to be there but um, it is what it is and we do what
36:11
we do. So if you made it this far at
36:14
