This soft spoken ASMR video contains stories from Celtic Mythology, taken from Irish Mythology. I tell you about the expansion, decline and revival of ancient Celtic culture, that left its most important marks in the Northwest of Europe, especially in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Britanny.
We will relive colourful stories from the Ulster Cycle: Deirdre and Naoise, the epic of Cú Chulainn including the Cattle Raid of Cooley (Táin Bó Cúailnge), or the appearance of the Morrigan. I will tell you about what we know of some Celtic deities: the Matres, Cernunnos, Taranis, Lugh, Epona...

I love the little bit of music at the start and then his mesmerizing and soothing voice telling the most interesting story. I fell asleep so fast! I have to start to listen again the next night, where I fell asleep the previous night, in order to hear more of the story! He never makes mistakes. His hands move slowly and his accent is beautiful and easy to understand. He is brilliant!!! This is how an ASMR video should be! Thank you!

Your voice was born to narrate, share stories and/or tumble into tales by the campfire light. Sooooo soothing, my friend. But what sets you above most others is your decision to bring your hands into play whilst you speak. It is, as I’m sure you know, a very good decision. Watching the nearly-hypnotic movement of your strong hands with long fingers as they move in the rhythm of your speech. Brilliant and very effective and I believe..... eyes close and head drops....thud.
