00:00:00.000 it's always relayed as being the story that explains the classes of the Vikings. There's
00:00:06.420 the Thrall and the Carl and the Jarl, or the Slave, though more likely it would be viewed as
00:00:13.320 like the Serf, and the Free Man, and the Aristocratic class. And generally it's written
00:00:20.280 off that way, but the Ausatru Folk Assembly looks at this very differently, because there are key
00:00:27.440 components that make it worth. I mean, you can't actually, that's not even worth. You can't look
00:00:32.880 away from these tiny little flags telling you there's something more going on here. And once
00:00:39.280 you consider it being a believer in the gods and knowing that the gods are here and they are real,
00:00:45.780 the value of the story suddenly becomes reinvigorated. And again, the keywords and
00:00:50.780 flags that you will see kind of popping up are very, very important. This goes beyond the classes
00:00:56.220 of the viking or northmen i should say social structure and sorry by the way i use viking
00:01:03.020 sometimes just because it's the default that people can immediately key in on but yeah of
00:01:07.840 the northmen it goes beyond that and i think it goes even beyond the composing of the poem i think
00:01:14.240 the poem most likely was composed in denmark but i do believe the story has application towards
00:01:20.020 all kings or chieftains of our people. And I think ultimately, I would argue that this story
00:01:26.240 goes all the way back with us, that this story comes all the way to our origins as folk. And
00:01:33.580 there is that interplay there between the White House, Lord Heimdall, and the folk. And wherever
00:01:40.000 they are, it's not truly mentioned other than by the sea and in certain living conditions.
00:01:46.260 I am a firm believer that this connection and the reasoning behind why Heimdall, Heimdalltler, is chosen, has chosen us, that reasoning and his name, or the title that he has chosen to be known by, have significance.
00:02:02.440 the home Dale and the home light. And we'll, we'll divulge more into that later, but there is
00:02:09.140 much more than what you might just simply read in a header or on volaspow.org or on a, like a
00:02:16.020 Wikipedia page. And so far as I know, no one outside of the Ausitru Folk Assembly has really
00:02:21.760 presented this. And I think it's a key component of our church. And it is, you know, one of the
00:02:27.500 most pivotal poems outside of the the volus bow and the gil beginning grimness model if there
00:02:35.500 was four poems say everyone should folk focus on it would be those the gil beginning the
00:02:40.780 the Volusbough, Grimniss Mall, and Riggs Dula.
