This July I was fortunate enough to be able to return back to the Faroe Island, where I've got many friends and where it's so jolly, tradional and great to be during the Olai - St. Olaf Day's Celebrations. I hope you'll enjoy this video, but to be frank there were so many great experiences I simply couldn't capture it all. The Faroe Islands needs to be experienced in person!

Viking Greetings and Skål from Sturla
I visited 12 years ago. Unforgettable place
Oh look, another "old white man" who needs a safe space. Ha! I will join you there for a pint or five!!
Safe space for Old White Men - I definitely qualify for this. Otherwise nice singing and community spirit on the Islands. Marvellous
I will gladly join you there for a pint or five! We need to start awakening our People and come together in peace to fight back against this woke Agenda and "liberal world order" as they now call it. We need to wake up our friends and neighbors who are still asleep to what's been happening to our People and Land. We don't need to hate anyone or want anyone genocided. We just need to take care of our own kind, because everyone else is taking care of their own kind except us!
Lol could it be a safe space for old white women as well 😂❤
It’s refreshing to see people celebrating their history and culture and to have that sense of community.
I have had a strong want to go to the Faroe Islands for almost 40 years. Manga takk Sturla! 🇺🇸🇧🇻
This is a place I have wanted to go to since I can remember, I never knew why or anything about it but now the more I see the more I want to go.
Wow!!! How fun and what a beautiful place.
I'm Irish with 20%Norwegian ancestry and you all are my brothers.
Funnily enough, Faroe Islands and Iceland have a pretty high % of Scottish and Irish ancestry. As the Norwegian vikings did most of their raiding in these areas and then settling up north.
Hail be thou, Sturla! Hail be thou folk of the Faroe Islands!
1000%!!! Hail, friend.
Watching them row in that race was awesome! These beautiful people are about as close to the Vikings of old as you can get! I've no doubt that a thousand years ago the parties they had were just as much fun. Thank you Sturla.
I love watching all these videos 🙂. It’s wonderful to see all the diversity that Norway has. It’s beautiful to see these traditions being kept. Keep showing us more 🙂❤️.
Yes, I love the "diversity" (wink wink nudge nudge) of all these multicultural people in Sturla's video about the Orkneys. Just love it! We need to return to it in the name of peace and mostly crime-free culture.
@@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger Yes agreed. What is happening to Europe disgusts me.
@@Thekoryostribalpodcast Yup. It's happening worse here in America. They say 200,000 a month crossing our borders. I just saw the UK had 25,000 to date for the year. Compare that to 200,000 a month. And we're already supposedly the melting pot of the world and perfectly multicultural as it is. We don't need more of them.
Brilliant, love your videos, love from Scotland
😘
So many memories at the "o goda" song near the end, absolutely love it. Mandatory every time me and my cousins meet
Thank you once again for a wonderful video. Always nice to learn something new. Please keep it up!
To Celebrate the Holy Olav is the worst thing a real Viking can do. This Bastard spilled more Viking blood as all enemies together.
Lovely video! Thank you. 😊 I’ve wanted to go to the Faroe Islands since I was a child.
Looks like one hell of a party. Thank you for your videos, and stay free sir.
It was indeed, for many days;) thank you and likewise
Nice! One of the places I'm most keen to visit.. I'll be p0sting a big collection of Faroese traditional music soon, like the "runddans" tune you're talking about.
Great video, Sturla! Färöarna is something I must visit.
The first island we see looks like the same as the one we see in the Enslaved - Rune II video. Uruz rune shaped in stone. (Please, make more videos ! )
I LOVE the pic of Heine and you in the "Safe Space for Old White Men" !! You need to frame a print and keep it in your office! Hey, did you see any Atlantic Puffins on your visit? They are such beautiful birds! Thanks for sharing your adventures. Take care, Sturla
Thanks, Margo. No puffins this time around, but quite a lot of smiling faces who were eager to keep your glass filled up:)
Fantastiskt, skall dit en vacker dag! Tack. 🇧🇻
Looks beautiful, my friend. I am finally at a point in my life where I could afford to travel, but I've been cooking expensive steaks and gourmet dinners instead :) One day when I'm less of a fatass I'll have to come explore Northern Europe.
Delightful Sturla! Thanks kindly for sharing 💪🍻👍
Nice video, any more footage you can share? Love the traditional feel of Olavsøka.
There's more on my Patreon page 👍🏻
💪🏽 wow magnificent i have no other words to describe Scandinavia
@@TheFreedomBay yeah, culturally they are pretty much part of Scandinavia (certainly the Nordic countries, which includes Iceland), although they're an outlier. They are after all mostly descended from Norwegians. Being Norwegian, I can understand much if not even most of their language.
@@TheFreedomBay Halla ^^ nå mente jeg mest kulturelt og ikke geografisk, og de regnes jo ikke faktisk som del av Skandinavia. Men det er ikke tilfeldig at flesteparten av færøyingene som bor annetsteds, bor i Danmark og i Norge (og en del på Island, som jo ikke er del av Skandinavia men av Norden). Reint geografisk så tipper(!) jeg at Færøyene er del av den kaledonske fjellkjeden, som går (eller gikk) helt fra Norge (hvertfall fra Jotunheimen, men også opp i Nord-Norge tror jeg) til Skottland og Irland. Mye av fjellkjeden er nå selvfølgelig under vann. Forøvrig veit jeg fint lite om kontinentalsokler og slikt :-p
@@Vingul Sambært landafrøðiligu støðuni, so eru Føroyar og Ísland ikki saman við teim 3 stóru, Noreg, Danmark og Svøríki fyri eystan. Men søguligani og málsliga sæð, so hava okur eina felags søgu, mál, mentan og siðaarv, sum gongur aftur til miðøldina og tað er eisini kul :)
What a beautiful place
THIS is true PRIDE!
Magnificent!
So much beauty in one video. Absolutely love your videos and positive energy. Please keep it up.
Takk fyri! Tusen takk!
Tusen takk og SKÅL!
I'd love to see a video on how the Norse settled the Faroe Islands, and the trade on and beyond those magical islands. Edit: Oh, and how the language evolved there! I heard some words that are extremely similar to ones my grandfather used on Senja!
@@BunkeredPuma885 When did the Irish convert? That's a long time ago, and not too long after Jesus. Sad to know the once warrior Irish fell so early to the Middle Eastern Abrahamic influence.
@@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger the Irish fell so easily to it because the Danes had conquered them some time before that, they could not afford to keep fighting like they once did as the Danes slowly wore them down in large coastal strongholds, all of which became Ireland's largest cities eventually
I can’t wait to go to this beautiful place. I was planning it before the schmovid hit! Going to try and plan once again. Loving watching these men who I clearly share genes with in this beautiful place. You truly look at home in that landscape. Sending love from North Wales where I have settled for now.
Take good care of your annoyance!
It looks amazing, I’m sure you had an amazing time there, greetings my friend
It's a bit cloudy.
Magnificent
Gorgeous!
Beautiful place! So refreshing to see a mass pf White people together, celebrating, and having fun! I live in a small town in pennsylvania, USA. I am lucky to see white people anymore. Celebrations for church and holidays no longer exist here. We used to have great Feasts for our holy people and heroes. Today if I see another white person on the way to the store I am lucky. Maybe I need to sell my belongings and buy a boat, travel back to where my ancestors lived. Please make more videos like this!
Good clothing in that Norwegian tradition is essential for that boat trip. What were you wearing for that preview thumbnail?
Niding konger! Ingenting å feire
I can't go because I am of Danish people, but maybe I can disguise myself as Canadian or something? 😄 Safe Space for old White Men, funniest thing I will see today! n😂😆😃 Thank you for the video, it looks amazing.
wow, they look so diverse, living amongst their own people. Who would have thought that such a thing was still possible in the current year. I mean, wouldn't they want some "diversity" from Africa or Syria like the rest of Scandinavia?
They actually have more than you think, though I think southeast Asia predominates.
I wish America was as diverse and multicultural as the Faroes. Everything would be so much more peaceful and less crime-ridden.
Looks interesting, but I fear I have too much Dane blood in my veins, , one look and they see straight through me, haha Did I say the word fear! 🤪 I'm not. Haha 😂
This half Danish woman was wondering what kind of greeting that I would have there as well!
@@juniew5482 I'm sure that you would be welcomed, just don't wave the axe around before step foot on the island and say halo
Not sure if you know the history of the Orkneys, but was there ever a "maiden king (queen!)" ruling there in the 10th century? Or was that a subtle insertion of wokeness into The Northman movie? If the Ornkeys had a queen in charge, then cool. I'm good with that. I'm not good with replacing actual history and culture with "The Message!" (hilarious Critical Drinker youtube channel reference for those not in the know!)
Less wokeness and more for them trying to be a bit intricate in their narrative. Some liberties were taken for the movie but they tried *very* hard to keep it authentic, and honestly barring the CGI fox which for some reason they felt like they needed to do and the weird yggdrasil vision of his children he had the thing did a very good jon of mimicking old(70's/80's) scandinavian movies where the actually cared abiut relstive authenticity over style
Hei Sturla, I have had quite lot of unpleasant messages because I refuse to condemn the Islands and the faroese people, it changes nothing for me, one of the things I find very strange is that Duolingo refuse to cover the Faroese language, they cover Klingon, which is a none existant race from Star Trek, I feel that people should study the geography, geology, economy and Faroese culture before they make bad comments.
Maybe they will be the last surviving Europeans?
Too close to the mainland, they will go before Iceland does Ånland is already borked
I take it Faroese DNA is not in quite so many people? I am not sure how much is in my DNA but it is in there. I am going to try to figure out how to participate in the DNA project.
I am a 52 y/o trans woman and absolutely a Viking descendant with at least 95% royal DNA from 26 countries and I suspect 3 more and I am one of the top 1-3% tallest people ever known to exist at six feet, eight inches tall. Pride is always a good thing, rawrrrrr. There is only one me!
I dont know why but my comment keeps getting instantly removed? Maybe i wrote too long or something...
2/3 About the pride stuff: thankfully its been kept pretty distant from the celebration (which i think sadly is mostly celebrated in trøndelag and faeroes?). The only time it was really intertwined and annoyed me was in the premier opening when the mayor began preaching about ukraine and pride ect, which was very out of place. I've talked to many of the ones who have been in the SNK community for a long time, and they are sick of this. It has nothing to do with st. Olav and the ones running the whole show is an elite group who has very little to do with the local celebration or the culturally works on stiklestad.
3/3 . Theres alot of iffy stuff going on.. one year for example a woman from oslo who'd been there for a couple of days and preaching some irrelevant shit got the stiklestad price, instead of many good candidates whose given life to this tradition for years.. this will not go another year, and if the rumored plans for spelet 2030 is correct, its going to be major backlash to say mildy. Many of these with the pride art and such uses the argument that its breaking boundaries and is brave, but its absolutely horseshit. Christianity has gone through most of it and if they really where going to be brave with the pride stuff do the same painting with islam. They would never do it because theyre som obnoxious, hypocritical to-sided with huge agendas... the real argument here though is that its out of place. i could write an essay on this. And there has also been other stuff like that spelet is problematic since st. Olav is "mansplaining" to a woman that you cant carry the child out in the forrest. Like what the actuall fuck? Its 1000 years ago, and is connected to kristenmannsretten. Why? They try to connect olav with the abortion debate in usa, like they want to know olavs opinion on abortion. What a bunch of bafoons. As i said i could write an essay, where i academicly go through this mess. Its wild to me that this is a thing.
Dette er jo helt absurd. Jeg får jo faktisk ikke til å kommentere...
@@SnusKing spesielt..
@@sturlaellingvag9661 den faktiske kommentaren min som bare omhandler færøyene og Spelet blir slettet av en eller annen grunn? Det er ikke rart folk begynner å konspirere om alt mulig når youtube oppfører seg slik haha. Kommentaren var egentlig bare om at mye av tekstene som du nevner i videon er med i spelmusikken, som jeg synger i olsokkoret. Glade ride noregs menn til hildar ting for eksempel er med i åpningssangen. Nermest hele færøyske diktet til jens djurhus er med i den faktisk, som er veldig gøy. Diktet har jo i tillegg linjer fra heimskringla ifølge wikipedia. Det jeg skulle fram til som youtube ikke lar meg gjøre er at du må lytte til "spelet om heilag olav" på spotify, komponert av levangsbyggen paul okkenhaug! Et fantastisk verk...
2 weeks ago the Faroes eliminated over 100 Bottle nose dolphins, this was the highest number in 124 years. This is separate from the whales. I can understand people wanting to preserve traditions, but is this really necessary on such a scale, at a time of wildlife decline. I find it a bit selfish, as these dolphins swim throughout the North Sea, and many rural / coastal small businesses operate whale and dolphin sightseeing boats in Britain, Norway etc, so this just reduces the chances of the tourists seeing them in the wild, and it's a real shame, as for many people it might be their only chance to ever see one, if they live far from the sea, or in a big city. Also, Faroe Isles could be making a fortune from these boat trips, but instead they are destroying them, it's madness. I googled Faroes Isles whale sightseeing, and the first result was a page about coming to see them all being butchered. I really think they'd make more money showing them alive at sea, than being attacked with the sea red with blood. I read that dolphin meat is not even popular. If the Faroese are in need of protein, just send a boat south to Britain and we'll fill it up with plenty of beef, lamb and turkeys.😁
Ha! Wildlife decline? Go bea hippy somewhere else, dolphins are not an endangered species nor are they hunted so fiercely that they cannot replenish their numbers on their own. You are complaining as if they were being hunted by the chinese lol
@njpri... I agree 100% with you, as long they butcher small whales and dolphins I will avoid to visit the Färöer. Alaf Sig Runa a Teutonic Viking from fucked up Germany.
@@victorkreig6089 To use this Chinese Bastards as an excuse, is not a real good Argument.
@@phornthip1991 you are ignorant of the over fishing practices of the Chinese
