Asatru Folk Assembly - Fate vs. Will #afa #asatru #asatrufolkassembly #shorts

00:00:00.000 and then she says, I'm unwilling to speak anymore, and I would like, or I will lay now.

00:00:05.680 You'll see these two parts, the speaking of, I'm not wanting to speak, and then the forcing

00:00:12.300 by Lord Odin, which again is showing a presence of will versus perhaps a fate itself. And so

00:00:20.040 there's this fate versus will dichotomy that's going on in the story.

00:00:23.960 One of the things that's a Odinic, I hate to put it this way, that's an Odinic power,

00:00:29.060 One of the magics that the Allfather is adept in is necromancy in the sense of being able to

00:00:36.300 compel the dead to speak. I believe that the tear rune is the rune that corresponds to that in his

00:00:43.580 rune songs, that he knows one that a hangman will come down from the noose, down from the gallows and

00:00:48.980 be able to speak, and he can ask him things. So being able to consult with the dead by means of

00:00:55.080 compelling them to do so is one of Odin's abilities that he has.

00:00:58.720 The essence of what it would have an effect on the audience too is something that I think that

00:01:04.500 when we're reading stories, we should consider that. Why is the necromancy or the death speech

00:01:11.900 and how it would impact the audience? This is deep, mysterious things that Lord Odin is so

00:01:19.640 intimately connected with that it's just spooky.
