6:10
I just wanted to call some attention to a great YouTube
6:13
channel that I think you all should check out.
6:16
He's for friend of mine fellow Heathen.
6:18
He's the go, the of the creek gar folk out there in East
6:22
Texas, United States, and his name is Eric word, Weaver,
6:26
shervin, and his YouTube channel is called the Ravens call.
6:30
If you go to YouTube and just search the Ravens call and the
6:34
YouTube search, you'll find his channel.
6:36
He does weekly videos Usually uploads, I believe on Wednesday
6:40
really early, Wednesday morning, central time.
6:43
I think his videos typically go up like 4 a.m.
6:45
Central Time. So they're up really early in
6:48
the day in the middle of the week.
6:50
Great content. Really neat approach to Heathen,
6:54
he's got a great, I think a great view for not just, you
7:01
know, heathens coming into this path new but also folks that
7:04
have kind of been treading this path for a while and maybe
7:08
Learning things as they go and Eric's a great source to learn
7:12
things from. I know I've learned a lot so I
7:13
definitely encourage everybody. That's listening here on the
7:16
podcast to take a moment and go check out Eric's Channel again,
7:19
that's the Ravens call. He also does some neat media
7:23
reviews on that channel uploaded on a different schedule.
7:27
I think he calls that the raving Ravens reviews, it's pretty fun
7:31
stuff. He does like reviews on video
7:34
games, movies Comics that basically.
7:37
I think Video got any kind of media really so that he just
7:41
started that. But anyways really great
7:43
Channel. Really awesome guy.
7:45
I've had the pleasure of collaborating with him a bit, so
7:48
please go ahead and check out Eric's Channel.
7:51
Appreciate you guys support. Let's get back to the podcast.
8:09
All right, buddy. Welcome back.
8:10
Thanks for taking the time to stick around.
8:13
I hope you guys have checked out the stuff from Odin's beard
8:17
woodworking, as well as Eric shervin's Channel over on
8:21
YouTube at the Ravens called really great stuff over there
8:25
from those fellows. So, please check all that out.
8:29
So let's go ahead and get started on covering some bases.
8:33
That need to just kind of be rehashed over.
8:38
So, if you haven't yet, like I said, revisit the last week's
8:42
episode about sambal. I'm going to be going over some
8:45
things that I got some clarification on and was able to
8:52
kind of get fac, fact, checked on say that three times fast and
8:59
one of those things. The first thing that we kind of
9:01
want to go over is in in the Episode.
9:03
I had kind of brought up about how there was a myth or
9:09
misconception about one, drinking horn or one drinking
9:15
cup or one vessel being used in sambal and whether or not that
9:20
was historical to True fashion, okay?
9:24
So as I was told or as I kind of learned and fit was figured out
9:31
or figured out is that That I was kind of correct and kind of
9:36
not. Not exactly right.
9:39
Not exactly wrong. Kind of a little in between and
9:41
the reason for that is specifically in The Saga
9:48
Beowulf, okay? Which is an Old English Saga,
9:51
very heavily pulled from for a lot of anglo-saxon heathens
9:58
specifically, I myself am not a Saxon Heathen or I don't follow
10:02
the angles. Saxon model of heathen re but
10:06
for those that are out there that want to follow some Ville
10:09
to a very structured specific by Beowulf is is one of several
10:15
great sources to pull from. So in that poem in That's The
10:19
Saga and that story if you will the lady of the hall who is
10:25
wealthy. Oh, and again that may not be
10:27
the correct pronunciation. I was I heard it pronounced a
10:30
few different ways but mean, Being the greatest in Old
10:35
English. I may be butchering the
10:37
pronunciation, but anyways, well, Theo is the Lady of the
10:41
hall and she passes a central cup or vessel to the king and or
10:52
the lord of the hall. And then, to each of the fellas
10:55
that are present the Warriors out of present, the retainers
10:57
that are there. And each individual Warrior.
11:01
Each person has their own Our own drinking cup.
11:04
Of course, their own vessel that they're enjoying the Libations
11:07
from from the beer hall, but there is a definite centralized
11:15
cup that is passed, and it's handed around.
11:23
Now we're going to be getting into the specifics of hanging
11:28
around because you may hear about online, you may see People
11:33
talking about sambal and that it's, you know, this sort of
11:36
thing where one person gets a cup and they drink, they toast,
11:39
they do what they do and then they pass it on to the next
11:41
person. That is not correct in the sense
11:45
of historical examples of how someone was done.
11:50
So in Anglo-Saxon Heathen touring again, we're going back
11:53
to this example because it seems to have the most relevance to
11:56
sambal the lady of the hall who hands The Vessel, the cop, the
12:03
horn, However, it may be to the folks that are gathered there
12:07
and then receives it when they're done is called the birla
12:12
and she's the one who kind of chooses the order of where, and
12:17
when and how some will goes, right?
12:19
So we talked about where I talked about in the last episode
12:22
about how there's this myth that that, you know, symbol has to be
12:25
done in a circular fashion again.
12:29
Not really. So but it's dictated or
12:32
controlled by The birla, not the lord of the hall, not the symbol
12:36
utha. If I remember myself correctly
12:38
of me referring to this figure, the lord of the hall.
12:41
He is not the one who determines the order in which sambal is
12:45
conducted. It is the beetle of the lady of
12:48
the hall. So she kind of controls the
12:51
direction in which things are done and a lot of times they're
12:56
in the, in historical times it was quite often Done in a
13:04
fashion where, you know, you went in, you, you handed the or
13:08
the later, the hall would hand, the Horn of the cup of whatever
13:11
the vessel was to the king or whoever the was the
13:16
highest-ranking one there. And then it kind of went in
13:18
fashion to the next highest ranking or to the next and so on
13:23
and so forth, down the line. Unless there was a specific
13:26
reason for an insult to be given by the lady of a halt to kind of
13:33
Somebody of Greater importance and give it to somebody, of
13:37
lesser importance. For whatever reason, there could
13:40
be various things going on there.
13:42
There may be something behind the scenes going on where the
13:45
king or the lord of the hall. Wanted to insult one of the
13:49
participants there. One of the retainers who
13:51
couldn't necessarily do so without, you know, kind of
13:54
facing political or some sort of ramification for it.
14:00
So turn this humble, it could have been kind of Thought ahead
14:04
of time or figured out ahead of time between the Lord and his
14:08
queen, or Lord, and his wife, what whoever, that, hey, you
14:11
need to do this and then, so when it was done, people were
14:15
kind of, they saw it and they were like, what did you just do?
14:19
And, you know, the King was in a sense just like, hey, I'm just,
14:22
you know, following what the, what the ladies doing, she's in
14:25
control of this thing. So anyway, it's not necessarily
14:28
a circular thing because NGO generally speaking In historical
14:34
times, the tables would be set up in kind of a like you shape.
14:38
So if you picture the letter U and tables being set up in this
14:41
sort of horseshoes fashion, the king or the lord of the hall
14:46
would sit at the foot or the base of the you, okay?
14:50
Kind of like where that curve part comes when the arms of the,
14:53
you stretch out would be where the Warriors, and the attendees
14:59
of sambal would sit on either side.
15:01
Now, Again, historically speaking, which is where really
15:06
what we're getting into here to focusing on the facts and the
15:08
historical aspects of it ritual. The symbol ritual was done only
15:14
between the king and his Warriors, maybe some other
15:20
nobility, that could be present. But it was a, it was a ritual to
15:24
bring the Warriors and their and hit the king and his Warriors
15:28
closer together and to build that relationship and For the
15:34
purposes of, you know, the boasting and and you know the
15:40
toast and the boast and that sort of thing.
15:43
So that is some facts that I was a little bit fuzzy on in the
15:50
last episode. I think I may have gone into
15:52
some things that maybe didn't quite hit the nail on the head.
15:56
But this segment kind of does again when with regard to their
16:00
being one, Central drinking horn versus Multiple cups.
16:04
Yes and no. Everybody had their own cups to
16:08
drink from but there was a single drinking vessel that the
16:12
buta. The lady of the hall would pass
16:14
around. And there was a specific reason
16:17
for that and we're going to get into that here after our next
16:20
commercial break. So, take a minute, fill up your
16:23
horn, fill up your glass, get your coffee, whatever it is.
16:26
You need get yourself settled, go take a bathroom break,
16:28
whatever it is. We're going to hear a couple
16:30
more things from some You know, some even businesses and stuff.

19:34
Let us know what you think. Thanks guys so much for
19:36
listening. Let's get back to the podcast.
19:48
Hey. Alright, welcome back everyone.
19:50
All right. So thus far we've covered a
19:54
couple of things or a few things from last week's episode that I
19:57
needed to just kind of clear up. One of the things which we
20:00
talked about before. The break was how the lady of
20:03
the Holy bitola, as she is called, has a job to receive and
20:09
distribute. Horn for the cup, The Vessel a
20:12
drinking. So what she is doing is she is
20:20
controlling the flow of the ritual, she's controlling who
20:25
gets the cup next. And so she will, you know, hand
20:31
the cup to to someone after they make their toast and drink.
20:37
They hand it back to her. Nobody Finishes their toast or
20:44
boast or whatever and then hands it to the next in line, not even
20:47
the king, not even the lord of the hall, would do this.
20:50
This is something that is reserved for the birla to do.
20:55
And there's a metaphysical elements that are quite deep and
21:00
complex. I'm going to try to hopefully
21:02
condense it into the best understanding as I can can come
21:07
up with and what I've been told so The, that the nature of
21:13
sambal, right what we're talking about doing, its it kind of
21:20
began as a you. So since it's connecting weird
21:24
and or log, right? So the the specific parts or or
21:31
participants that the roles, the positions, the lady of the hall
21:37
is essentially almost like as I understand it like that.
21:40
The norns, you know, or whatever.
21:42
The Anglo-Saxon equivalent to that is something that controls
21:45
the fate or connects, not necessarily connects.
21:51
But so let me just kind of go into the details of things, the
21:55
horn or the cup, okay? Is like the needle on the
22:00
weaving wheel, the words that are spoken over the cup In the
22:08
libation are the threads and then the lady of the hall, the
22:14
birla is kind of stitching. It all together.
22:17
Connecting the weird and or log of what would be a
22:21
non-homogeneous collection of people into a group identity?
22:25
Their by tying weird together and adding to the luck of not
22:32
just individuals, but to the luck of the entire Collective,
22:35
the tribe, the Kindred, the fade, whatever.
22:37
Is that you don't there's a lot of metaphysical stuff going on
22:42
that. We're going to be referring to
22:47
some sources. One of which I actually recently
22:52
was able to acquire a copy of and that is because the author's
22:58
name is Stephen, Paul LinkedIn. And that is the lady with the
23:00
Mead cup and that comes as a highly recommended source for
23:06
understanding The dynamic of sambal and and all the meat and
23:10
potatoes type stuff. So if you get a chance, you
23:14
should be able to purchase it on Amazon.
23:16
Find that book read it. I'm actually going to start
23:19
reading it myself because this is a lot of great information
23:22
that was given to me and would like to share that with you guys
23:27
to, you know, to check that out. So now that we got, that kind of
23:30
part out of the way, the next thing that we're going to talk
23:34
about is when last week's episode, I talked about two
23:36
things. That happened during symbol and
23:40
that is a bit and a Yelp. And I believe I mentioned about
23:46
the the, the purposes of that or the reasons for that is that of
23:53
kind of increasing the luck of the tribe or the or the
24:00
collective, right? And while that has some aspects,
24:06
it's More specifically about worth.
24:09
Okay. Now here's where it gets or
24:15
here's where it could get off into a whole other episode which
24:19
is probably something that will happen here.
24:21
Soon worth in a heathen context is not the same as what modern
24:26
folks would understand as being something of value, okay?
24:28
Worth is an in our in any Heathen context is in much more
24:34
complex and has much more to To say about that one word, if you
24:41
want to know more about it before, my next episode, check
24:44
out a book by Erich widening called, we are our Deeds.
24:49
There's some information contained in that small book and
24:53
it's not a very long read but it's very, very important to
24:56
understand kind of what the arch of heathen world view.
24:59
So is in sweat is surrounds? But again the the process of
25:05
doing a baby it is The you know, Bates are given to improve or
25:11
increase, a person's personal worth in the eyes of their
25:16
people, the folk the tribe that they cetera, okay?
25:21
Now once the thing that has been done that you've given a bit on.
25:26
So let's say for instance, you know, like I mentioned last week
25:29
somebody gives a bit to lose with a certain number of pounds
25:36
you lose weight. Within a certain period of time,
25:39
after that accomplishment has been made.
25:42
And after you've accomplished that thing, you can then return
25:44
and give a Yelp or boast of accomplishing that said, task or
25:49
goal. So, not only does.
25:51
Like I said, you know, it's more of a improving the luck or
25:58
increasing not, not the luck. But the worth of an individual
26:02
in the eyes of your tribe, because what you said to do, You
26:07
have gone and done and that makes you worthy and it builds
26:11
your worth and it makes me more valuable.
26:14
And in any Heathen context which we like I said, we'll go into
26:17
maybe in another episode. And then again, the youth the
26:21
Yelp is the boast of saying, hey, I told you I would do this.
26:25
Look at, I did it. Okay, now we talked to let last
26:30
episode about the position or the or the job of the fuel,
26:34
okay? And if you Le, is there to
26:35
challenge the bailouts Basically remind the one giving their belt
26:42
that they kind of may not be as cool as they think.
26:46
They are to accomplish the task, kind of like how in Beowulf when
26:50
you know, Beowulf gives his built to slay Grendel and the
26:58
Thule. Remember his name, but it's in
27:01
the last episode, I do apologize.
27:03
I can't make his name off the top of my head cause I don't
27:05
have it document the right down in front of me, but the fuel of
27:09
there is basically calling. Whoa there Beowulf, you realize
27:14
that, you know, Grendel's killed, all these men before
27:15
here and you're saying that you're going to be able to do
27:20
this thing. Single-handedly, are you sure
27:22
about this? Are you, are you really?
27:23
You know, because you're you look at, look at what's happened
27:28
up to this point. So, again, The fuelers position
27:32
is to kind of put in check and to regulate the boats being
27:39
given. Because again, at this point,
27:40
it's kind of like, hey guys, you know, you even drinking you,
27:42
maybe not be thinking, clearly watch what you're saying.
27:46
Because once it's said and the lord of the hall sets, The
27:52
Shield or the price for failing to fulfill the oath.
27:59
It's a Added to the well at that point.
28:01
What is said? He said it.
28:03
It's been confirmed with you Le says, okay, he's serious.
28:07
Then the Lord sits the shield and says, all right, well if you
28:09
haven't fulfilled this oath of yours, if you haven't done this
28:12
certain thing, here's the price that you must pay for it.
28:16
Yada yada yada it not only affects, you know, all this
28:21
stuff. It not only affects the luck of
28:24
the tribe but more specifically it craters or hurts your own
28:29
worth? In front of all these people
28:32
because you said you were going to do something and then you
28:34
failed to do it for whatever reason.
28:38
But again at that point, once your, if you were not able to
28:41
fulfill that that oath to or that that bail out and you and
28:47
you couldn't do it, you're worth has been damaged.
28:50
And now you're pretty much kind of set at the bottom of the
28:53
table, your setup a low status at the next symbol among your
28:56
tribesmen. And everybody remembers that and
28:59
looks at that, right? Right.
29:01
So another symbol myth which I did not go over that you may
29:11
hear or see about in the various circles is that symbol can be
29:15
done Outdoors. Okay?
29:18
And there's no way in and no historical sources are context
29:23
at all and that this is the case sample has to be done inside for
29:28
it to be considered. Sambal if Outside you know,
29:31
around the bonfire campfire, whatever drinking beer, and
29:34
stuff like that. That's its own separate thing
29:36
and there's a name for it and I can't think of it right off the
29:38
top of my head. You know, I was told about it
29:40
but there is a name for it and it's basically, it's cool, it's
29:43
great. You can do that, but it is not
29:46
symbol. Okay, one of the Kennings for
29:50
sambal is Hall Joy, which is an indication that it has to be
29:56
done indoors around four walls. And there's a, there's, there's
30:00
Physical parts as to why that is as well.
30:04
Because the there's this whole thing or the perception of how
30:11
a, well, how a literal, well of water, like a water.
30:14
Well, that contains water how the well has surrounding a
30:18
structure surrounding it walls, around it to contain the liquids
30:23
that are within hit to contain the the weird that it houses and
30:29
that sort of thing. So, Is metaphysical elements
30:31
that require sambal to be have to have for wall?
30:35
Surrounding her to have something surrounding it?
30:37
It cannot be done just outside in the wide open.
30:41
Okay, so that kind of covers the Miss aspect.
30:46
One of the other things that I had mentioned in the previous
30:48
episode was about the tradition or custom of gift-giving during
30:53
sambal saying that it's, you know, kind of the lord of the
30:57
hall that does it or initiates, it starts at whatever.
31:02
And the order that he may be the only one that sort of thing.
31:06
Now, he may not always be the one giving gifts and it's
31:13
normally structured for the lord of the hall to give gifts first
31:18
to kind of start that whole process.
31:21
And then it can be followed by the next kind of highest ranking
31:26
individual when it's their turn, you know.
31:29
So that There's a structure. There's a following that is, to
31:35
be had when it comes to the gift-giving, like I said, the
31:39
lord of the hall, will typically start the process and then it
31:42
can trickle down and follow and suit with the next in line as
31:49
far as the ranking of their societal positions, right?
31:55
And then finally, the, the other thing that I had mentioned in
31:58
the previous episode was about, Humble being this sort of solemn
32:03
and I may have given some sort of hint of or maybe made some
32:11
sort of idea from people, listening, that solemn means
32:15
somber. Okay, now my intent was not to
32:18
make it sound that way, and I think that it may have come
32:20
across that way because the what was noted to me about it was
32:24
that it's not in the sense of solemn, not in the sense of
32:27
being somber, right? It, it should be solemn to the
32:34
extent of understanding that there's a purpose for the symbol
32:37
ritual that there are rules. That should be not.
32:41
Viola should not be violated that there's a structure and
32:45
there's a purpose for it that sort of thing.
32:47
So the solemnity could extend to the that level right of just
32:53
respecting everything and following the order of things.
32:57
But there's a lot of Historical resources.
33:03
And and and you know parts that indicate that this is a very
33:11
joyful and celebratory event, you know, it's basically like
33:17
yes, we're here to do this thing.
33:18
We're here to, you know, accomplish certain things but
33:21
have fun with it. Again it was it was it was a the
33:26
Ambiance was that it was celebratory that you know, we're
33:30
here. Celebrate, we're here to have
33:31
joy. We're here to have a good time.
33:33
We're here to build frith and and and maintain this
33:39
relationship with our, you know, with our tribe.
33:52

33:54

36:04
Let's get back to the podcast. All right, everybody.
36:17
Hey apologies, therefore the last segment before the
36:21
commercial break, kind of cutting off abruptly.
36:24
I guess I hit a time limit on the segment recording but you
36:29
kind of got the dip, the gist. You know, it was basically the
36:34
salinity of some Is to the extent of, you know, not
36:40
violating the rules, respecting the area, respecting the Lord
36:44
and Lady of the hall and then the attendees and all that kind
36:47
of fun stuff. But there's jet definite joy and
36:50
celebration a celebration to be had in the sambal ritual, okay?
36:56
So kind of in in a in a summation.
37:01
Okay. As we wrap up this this episode,
37:04
it's humble is kind of like blow.
37:06
Boat. You know, other half and other
37:09
aspects of heathen Praxis. It's a, it serves a function in
37:14
our worldview sambal historically began as a ritual
37:20
of the warband. Like I mentioned they really are
37:22
there was it was something reserved between the Kings and
37:25
narrate his Warriors and maybe some select Nobles that were
37:27
there. And while commoners would kind
37:31
of mimic aspects of it later. later on symbol itself serves to
37:39
bind the fictive, family of the war band in fret, which is
37:43
again, why there is the the birla and why there's the Thula
37:51
and why there are certain, you know, positions and things
37:54
happening is because there has to be structure has to be order
38:01
for forth to be Established and it stems, you know, one of the
38:07
two sources or two sources of frith comes from blood and oath,
38:15
you know, so the oath family needs a manner to create Frisk
38:22
and or log outside of blood Blood Ties, you know?
38:26
So if you are not blood kin and you are sworn family or oath
38:32
family, their needs to There needs to be something in
38:37
existence or needs to be something that happens that
38:42
creates frith between everyone. And that is what sambal is and
38:46
that is how it is done. It connects like I said earlier
38:49
the weird and or log of the non-homogeneous collection of
38:56
people into a group identity, you know, the aspect of the
39:02
well, The cop, the central Cup being the metaphysical
39:10
representation of the, well, the words spoken over, it being the
39:15
thread that, you know, is used to, you know, tie up on the
39:23
needle. And then the lady with a butyl
39:25
of the hall, being the one that kind of weaves that or or
39:29
controls that, you know, It's or log.
39:37
It's connecting the luck of everyone together.
39:42
Collectively to build on and improve the overall look of the
39:50
tribe, okay. The group takes their weird and
39:57
sets or log you know they're their own individual weird.
40:00
They take that. And then It sets, or log for
40:05
their Collective, identity for the tribe, the fade, whatever it
40:08
may be. So it's a very in-depth thing,
40:12
guys. It's one of the most important
40:14
rituals and one of the most favorite rituals for a lot of
40:18
heathens that practice and observe it in this way in this
40:21
historical matter, because there is a lot of stuff that, you
40:25
know, backs up how it should be done in order for it to work.
40:31
Okay? Now, again, let me just kind of
40:34
Wrap up everything. This is this pretty much wraps,
40:36
everything up the stuff that I said, and episode 1 of this, how
40:41
to stumble thing. Like I said, all this stuff here
40:45
today has pretty much just added to it clarified.
40:48
It kind of put the nail in the coffin, so, to speak.
40:52
So there's Like I said, there's there's a lot of there's a lot
41:00
of great sources. I'm going to have to Go back and
41:07
look. I said in little lady with the
41:10
meat Cup by Steven. Paul eaten is one of the great
41:14
sources. You got Beowulf, hang screen, Le
41:16
there's some other sources the gospel of st.
41:20
Luke through the through the Anglo-Saxon stuff.
41:26
There's a lot of sources out there guys to to glean from.
41:31
If this is the kind of approach that you want to take, I guess
41:34
that I'm not a Heathen by any means I don't I don't practice
41:40
Heathen, read myself hardcore, Recon historical, Heathen
41:44
method. Okay but I love this historical
41:47
stuff because I feel like it's it's how we can build into the
41:51
future, it's how we can, you know, establish new routes.
41:58
We take from the old and we use it to build into the new.
42:03
All right, so whatever your heathen.
42:06
Practices. Are whether it be, you know,
42:08
Anglo-Saxon Nordstrom attic Moore's Icelandic?
42:12
You know, whatever, your angle is, whatever your interest is,
42:15
wherever you are. You will feel most high to do
42:21
your research follow, you know, see what historical text, you
42:25
can come up with and use it to help build a tradition that can
42:32
be followed and continued on. After we're no longer here to
42:38
talk about it, after I'm not here to speak on these podcasts
42:41
after you're not here to listen, there will be something that can
42:45
be carried on down through document these things.
42:49
However, in whichever way you feel or see, fit whether it's
42:52
writing it down, audio recordings, whatever, that
42:58
that's pretty much it. That's the thank you so much
43:01
again for following up with me and listening to Part 2 or odd
43:06
to of how to symbol. I hope it's been helpful for
43:09
you. I want to give a shout-out to my
43:12
Anonymous assistance Source. I want to say assistant because
43:18
the this individual is not that he out of the kindness of his
43:23

43:30

43:34
will leave this individual Animus and simply call him the
