Surprise video! Peace and love to all. Merry Christmas my badgers!!!! (I'm not drunk, YOU'RE DRUNK!) Boxing Day Edit: This story is partially taken from this book ‘Siberian Folktales’ : amzn.to/3NIWpF9
Thank you for posting this video on Christmas day I only found your channel two days ago and it is fast becoming my favourite one on Y. T.. I would love to hear lots more magical stories from Finland (Kalevala) and the Sami people. God Jul and Merry Christmas to all!! 🎄🎅❤🤶☃️🎁
God Jul, Story Crow! Thank you for the wonderful story, as usual. I will toast to your continued health, longevity, and wit with a dram of knob creek rye. Cheers!
I LOVE this! I wrote a story about the personification of the moonlight coming to Earth, so to me this story was especially fascinating. Thank you for sharing your storytelling talents with us. It was a great Christmas gift! P.S. more Sami and Stone Age stories please! The older, the better
26:38 You're a good storyteller, and I really appreciate the added symbolism and content. Thank you, Sir🔥 I'll be swinging by for more that you share.🌱
The way you fully engage in the story you are speaking is downright magical. It is as if your entire body and essence becomes the story. It is so cool! I was particularly struck with your performance in this story because I actually see a part of myself reflected in it. Ever since I was quite young I have had a talent for writing and performing deeply moving speeches/monologues, but I have never really been all too sure about how to use that talent. In recent years I have been working as a solo game dev. Taking a break from the industry to build the game that will be chock full of stories, characters, and themes that truly speak to my heart. Even though I am deep in the technical work (programming, data management, systems, etc.), dialogues/monologues, sketches, paintings, of some the characters are already starting to fill some journals. And so it seems... the pieces of me start coming together, they just have not fully manifested yet. The day my vision fully manifests and people play my game, I want them to feel what I felt while I took in this story. In other words, I want them to see themselves in it and hence feel inspired to bring the greatest rendition of their creativity to this world too.
Thank you very much for these words. I wish you every success in the game dev world, it’s something that interests me. I like you you’re combining different talents of yours from different aspects of yourself. This is the way of Hermes! Good luck ✨✨✨
You are most welcome and thank you in turn. 💛 The fact that you'd mention Hermes is so appropriate, on a number of levels. A few years back I undertook a meditation that is meant to reveal to you your spirit guides, and lo and behold the symbology of Hermes came to me while deep in that session. He most certainly is with me.
This is very much like the Japanese Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, who found and adopted the Moon Princess. Its an idea that the 'sky tribe' would foster their kids out with kindly workers among the humans who would gain the favor of the gods for that work. She would spread their ways, but she would inevitably return to them after learning a lesson, that she could bring back to them.
It is isn’t it? I was watching the studio ghibli version of this story just the other day. Such beautiful art. The sky tribe sounds like the sídhe. Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas 🙏✨🎄
@@TheStoryCrow I often look at similar sounding words, u commented 'sidhe.' This reminds me of 'seidr' but also a fixed star Schedir. Schedir is the star of The Queen & female power. All so very similar in their representation too.
i´ve never heard of that tale, it´s possible that it´s from one of the sami tribes.. it´s not the "sami" in the real tradition, it´s different tribes that had different beliefs. usually though both sun (sun mother, Beaivi) and her daughter (Beaivi-nieda) are female. akka is usually the latter part of the deity name (meaning old woman, so it was daughter of old woman). they literally call the sun god Beaivi "the mother of humans" (humans meaning the sami). personally i agree with her being female because also the finnish equilevant of that name Päivi is female. also it´s female in most of the other uralic tribes (Kou-niamy=sun-mother for the nganasans and so forth). but you know, it was families of deities, so it´s however you want to see it, from patriarcal or matriarcal point of view :)
Thanks for sharing this. This folktale is primarily taken from the book ‘Siberian Folktales’ where it is attributed to ‘The Sami’. I’ve seen her same spelt differently and variations on the tale, but always ‘Sami’. But of course, beliefs between tribes under this vague umbrella term may vary of course. Here is the book if you’re interested: amzn.to/3NIWpF9
Well, respectfully, I would say speak up. My cheap computer doesn't have great sound, so quiet is no good. Should at least be normal talking volume, unlike in movies today where they whisper.... Thanks.@@TheStoryCrow
