So there’s a Kelpie which is Celtic and a malignant character, but then there’s also a Selkie which is another Celtic mythological creature that can shift forms from hymns on land to seal form in water.
Awesome video yet again... Love the artwork! 🌿 Always happy to learn more about interesting mythological creatures. Wil be looking forward to the next! ✔️
Being a Scott and living near the Kelpie metal statues,they were made just from the neck up.This video would explain why.If they had the bottom half of fish and backward feet. Thanks for covering this.
The backwards feet reminds me of what I've heared said about mimics in general. Sometimes they have at least one feature they can't quite mimic correctly, or even more than one. We have that here in the U.S. with the "Not Deer." Sometimes it has front facing eyes and leg knee joints that bend the wrong way. They're also known to walk on 2 legs at times and hide within groups of actual deer.
@@chingvang9320 They thought manatee were mermaids, kraken was just giant/colossal squid, japanese sea serphants were just oarfish, so no they apparently didn't knew half they stuff then seen till they have a specimen for analyst, and to be documented for science. Having lack of evidence for ocean monsters is the same reason Paleontologist(the same people who actually study, dated, and record these) have to remind people why creatures like O.Megalodon, or Giant squid exist or don't.
I definitely think that the Kelpie is just a chill creature that sometimes wants companionship. Personally, I'd grab some scuba geat and befriend them.
I've play the Persona games and in the game there are interpretations of Kelpies but I thought since it was a Japanese game that the creature was a Yokai. So thank you for knocking down my ignorance.
Unicorns where not horses to start. Just look at the small details. Cloven hooves, beards.....Not horses. Caprine fit the actual details better then Equus and have horns. Modern depictions are horses not ancient ones. A lot of ancient cultures where very detailed about the hooves, as it determined it's place amongst the beasts.... Also the whole solo horn was described like a goat or Ibex horn. There is a reason the goat is their symbolic counterpart. However that being said I get why they are called horses due to the modern misconception. Much like the Satyr being a goat guy. When they are Equestrian. While the Panes and Fauns where Caprine in nature. I still love this channel and this video but please for the love of History, not call Unicorns Horses.....I also am not referring to Unicorn like creatures as they are not Unicorns but their own creatures, with their own myths and legends. I guess they qualify as Bovidae. Oh and if we go off child logic... Rhinos are male, hippos are their female counterpart; Goats are male and sheep are their female. lol Because when I was a wee lad I actually played with my animal toys as such. lol Oie the logic of a child.
Would love some benevolent spirits, fairies unicorns mermaids, anything mythical/spiritual with good intentions would be lovely🌟🧚🏻♀️🌟 Any water spirits, salamanders, earth and air spirits - anything benevolent please...... How about angels! Not biblical though!☯️✨☯️
They are spirits, specifically fae or demons. As fae they control the elemental sphere of water, but are not created from it, thus not making them elementals.
These legends was created on the isle of Lewis and Harris. By kelpers. These people would hunt whale and make soap from kelp and whale. While raising sheep. They was also formidable warriors and all was expected to do there part. An old story from the isle is an oath was made between the people of the isle that was both Norse and Scottish but primary Norse. The oath was to not take rob or harm. The oath was violated during a night time raid 16 Hebridean died. Upon sunrise painted for war a group of Hebridean men slaughtered 80 plus raiders in an encampment. While others was captured and used to train children in the art of war. Those children learned that day how to kill.
I definitely believe that spirits and creatures such as kelpies of Scotland, the vodyanoi of Russia, and the kappa of Japan were in fact just superstitions that sprouted from people's collective fear of drowning. And of course aquatic animals tend to be seen as the most alien out of all other animals, more so than insects. Why it's no wonder Jules Verne and H.P. Lovecraft wrote epic tales surrounding the dangers of deep sea marine life.
@@lunawolf2151 But I do understand fear. And sometimes it's easier to fabricate a foreign figure than have the gall to face thetruth. But, it may also have been man's lack of knowledge towards everyday occurrences that would have lead to these imaginary substitures beings thought of.
It’s nice to meet people who say, “I believe,” rather than “I know”. All we can do is believe, because we cannot determine reality and falsehood. Perhaps we are permanently blinded, never to see these creatures again, perhaps they do not exist. All we can know is that we have no certainty, no indisputable truth in life. Only the murky mire and blinding fog of possibility and potentiality. What may or may not exist.
I believe something LIKE this could exist or may have once upon a time. I am not sure how but i do believe it. I also believe if these things did or do exist that they were likely as devious as they say.
I believe that we can never know what is or is not real, to believe with certainty that we know something only shows the foolish hubris and stupidity of human kind. Are kelpies real, possibly, are they fake, possibly. We may be blinded, drifting so far from the mystical nature that our ancestors believed so adamantly in, perhaps we are permanently blinded and can no longer see these creatures. We are not able to know truth, we are adrift in a mire of possibility and potentiality for our whole lives. Humans are simply fearful creatures that do not like to admit we live in perpetual uncertainty. Only the truly courageous can stare life in the eyes and tell it, “I don’t actually know you, I don’t know what is real and what isn’t.” Many people would go mad at understanding this, it took me many years to be able to admit that I am but a leaf flitting about in the wind with no true direction or sense of truth. Now I have discerned that and tell existence boldly that I am a creature of uncertainty, of murky existence, of no true ability to determine reality and falsehood. I am something that can never know and never shall, only to believe and ponder upon the fog of life.
'Seek the Lord , and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el. ' Amos 5:6
I heard a song about Selkie ibut they are good and one fell in love with a maiden but they looked something like seals and the maiden must find some hidden treasure and put it on so she could also become a Selkie and live with her love.But that are 2 different creatures or?

Don't see how this comment is at all relevant to this channel 🤔 this channel is purely educational... Not a place to spread your gospel! Guess what, NOT everyone identifies as Christian... Maybe just stick it to your own channel 🤨
@@gaventer2022 pls take no OFFENSE but in this time in this earth...WE ALL NEED HELP IN ANY FORM POSSIBLE GOD/ ANGELS/ GUIDES/ LEDGENDS /MYTHES .to save OUR PLANET!!!! we ALL DEPEND ON EACH OTHER,,WE CANT GET THROUGH LIFE WITHOUT ANOTHERS HELP, IN SOME FORM. regardless of race /belief/ location. you are inclded. be thankful SOMEONE IS CONSIDERING YOU .
Yeah NO! There's no rule book concerning the comments section. And I'm not here to police ####. It's just a little thing called etiquette and a splash of consideration. As a Neo Pagan I don't come to this channel and drop a random comment to advocate my religion, especially on a video that isn't even remotely related to the topic! 😏🤷🏻♀️ If you wanna hand out blessings and presch about your god, then go to church where it'll be deemed appropriate and not annoying. 💁🏻♀️ We ALL know that Christians just LOVE to HATE. Almost treating it as some sort of virtue. To hate anything and everything that doesn't conform the the same believe system! Yes, the comments section is a "free for all". However, you can be damn sure that there will be people like me pushing back on BS comments like these. 🤷🏻♀️ When watching a video on a Kelpie (or anything creature for that matter) My skin just crawles when I scroll down and see these idiotic comments left by Christian zeolites. Cause you know, IF you don't conform, eternal damnation is your forecast. There IS a time AND a place for EVERYTHING! Not everyone believes as you do. Join the gospel channels if you wanna preach it 😉👍🏻👊🏻
