Asatru Folk Assembly - On the Value of Motherhood #afa #asatru #asatrufolkassembly #shorts

00:00:00.000 I don't know, certainly as men, our ambitions are displayed a lot in relationship to our fathers,

00:00:12.040 either, you know, in order to impress or in spite of, you know, whether you had a good father or

00:00:17.920 bad father, a lot of what you do as a man is a reflection of that. Like my dad did all these

00:00:22.860 things wrong. So I'm going to, I'm going to get them all right. I'm going to, I'm going to do

00:00:26.280 right where he didn't. Or I'm so proud of my dad. I look up to him so much. I want to make him proud

00:00:31.360 or I want to surpass something he did. But, um, with mothers, it's very different. Um, you learn

00:00:39.220 through, through subtle things that build your character in terms of the way you treat other

00:00:48.660 people in a lot of ways in the way you instill a lot of our virtues in throughout your life and

00:00:56.220 your family, place value on, um, place value on your wife, place value on the mother of your

00:01:03.220 children, place value on hospitality and on kindness and, uh, and compassion and those kinds

00:01:10.640 of things. And I know my mother really instilled a lot of that in me. It's interesting the effect

00:01:17.620 mothers have on the raising of, of men and certainly of daughters as well. But I think that

00:01:25.260 Frigg in her patronage of or matronage rather of motherhood

00:01:33.960 is much more accessible to most people.
