An ancient Celtic harvest festival and later Christian feast day, Lughnasa (Irish) and Lammas (Anglo Saxon) are also considered part of the concept of the pagan 'Wheel of the Year' . Celebrations begin around August and were connected to the first bringing in of the first crop, and the ensuring of a successful harvest next year.
The god Lug is related to the proto-celtic god Lugus found in Gaul as well as the classical Mercury / Hermes, and the germanic Woden / Odin. The trickster god of magic and skill and commerce. Yet also affiliated with solar deities like Apollo, as well as local deities like Vindos, Fionn MacCumhail and even saint Patrick in the Christian Era.

Back in the day, a series of Sci Fi books I used to read called 'The Many Coloured Land','The Golden Torc' by Julian May, had a whole lot of writing about the Sidthe, Lugh, Tuatha De Danaan, and much more, as part of the main story... The books won awards, and were quite well known for a time... 'The Non Born King' is the third in the series, and it's main character is called Aitken Drum... Each book is around 450 pages, so there's a lot to read, but its a fascinating tale....

I knew of Lughnasadh and its importance to the minds and lives of my ancestors. I am unfortunate that I wasn't properly schooled in this past. My hope is to learn more from you and find someplace to learn anything of my ancestors native language. Thank you for your content!

Did not know Lugh was fundamental to the seasonal festival of Lammas. Fascinating. Admire your connection with the earth and ancestors. The yearly wheel of seasonal festivals a great way to strengthen this connection. Enjoy your Lammas celebrations - Imbolc over here for me in Australia.

Might give the land some whisky to get a non-moldy second hay cut this year... in biodymamic agriculture the horn quartz preparation can be used to help with blight...

Man I live now in Berlin to be close to my klids from seperation. Keep doing what you are doing you are honourable example of the good bits of English Culture and that comes from and Irish man whom had much shit in the UK once a squatter organiser of illegal raves. You give me hope that my own kids will find their way and connect with the other part of their culture . I refer to my daugher Eire now 19 in the UK and my three boys eldest 12 here in Germany Berlin. Any time you want to check pronouncation of Irish Gaeilge ping me and keep sharing our common Norse Irish Anglo Saxon cultures . You are a credit to all modern pagans . Briseann pórú trí shúil snáthaide agus ní thógann sé ach braon fola chun an cuan a dhathú dearg... tá rudaí maithe á ndéanamh agat b’fhéidir go luascfaidh fórsaí an nádúir chugat agus go bhfaighidh na Sidhe go léir fabhar leat.

This is, hands down, the best comment I’ve ever read. I’ve met so many brothers and sisters on Irish soil, and it felt like coming home in so many ways. I love stressing the connections between anglo - Irish - Norse - Germanic culture rather than the differences. Your boys and girl are lucky to have a dad that wants to guide them in the old ways. Even if they don’t know it yet.

The late hay crop was ruined by ergot here a few years back due to rain ... hoping it doesnt happen this year. (I have horses and like to feed them standing hay if i can over winter...) Ate the first blackberries, (shared them with my dog) today... I like to remind myself that the summer holidays have have only just begun!
@TheStoryCrow
@TheStoryCrow 11 месяцев назад
Blackberries out suspiciously, this year, bit tart, but I love em! Hoping you don’t get blighted by ergot. Mind you. I hear it’s hallucinogenic, so there’s always that. Something our ancestors doubtless experienced 😃

@TheStoryCrow I think ergot needs a ridiculously complex preparation to make it safe to consume without dying... 😵‍💫 The immortality key is an absolutely fascinating book about ergot and very early Christianity.....

''Its perfectly fine to merge the Germanic and Celtic systems...'' ha ha totally agree and not only for reasons of syncretism. I'd happily celebrate Mozambique Independence Day Icelandic Bun Day and Pazuzzu's Bar Mitzvah if there's a party in it. Many thanks for (yet) another occasion for celebration!

I don't think "corn king" would be right as corn is a crop from Turtle Island ( North and Central America) brought over in 1493 and was only grown with moderate success until it was hybridized. from a historical sense..... it doesn't, but i think you meant wheat... other wise amazing video
@TheStoryCrow
@TheStoryCrow 11 месяцев назад
Corn in the English language refers to any grain crop, usually wheat, but also barley or rye. And yes, sometimes Maize, which I guess is what you are referring to as ‘corn’. That being said, ‘Turtle Island’ has its own wonderful versions of European languages, and in many cases they are more original. I love the Latin American Spanish word for ‘pen’ : pluma / feather 🪶 for example. But yes, ‘corn’ in this part of the world is usually a generic term for ‘crop’ and usually wheat, not maize. I Probably should have made that clear for my turtle dwelling viewers. On another note. Personally I prefer ‘corn’ tortillas to wheat, so there’s that 😂

Lugh AKA Apollo, Nergal, Anshar, lugalbanda. 911. Revelation 9.11
@TheStoryCrow
@TheStoryCrow 11 месяцев назад
Ah, Revelation. So the demon of that verse is sometimes translated as the flashing one or the destroyer (nothing to do with the Hellenic Apollo imo) which are also epithets given to the Irish demon king Balor - who is slayed by Lugh. So if you want to make parallels with revelation and Celtic myth (which is a dodgy business) then Lugh I guess would be on the side of Jehovah and his angelic retinue. Fun eh? Anyway. Peace to you brother 🙏
@andruelohim3100
@andruelohim3100 11 месяцев назад
I very much doubt that Lugh AKA Apollo is on the side of Jehovah aka Mercury and his rapidly disappearing band of prostitutes. The bible is the mark of the beast after all. 66 books and the 3rd 6 is the idiot holding it, 6 is a man's number. This means that even if you are a Protestant, and dont subscribe to Roman Catholicism you still carry the mark of the beast We are here to remove that bullshit and it's authors. I agree with you Apollo is not even a real name...it means a chicken, a reference to the Iliad when he walked away from a fight with the Earth shaker, he was known as Nergal in the mesopotamian pantheon, interestingly one of his titles was the dung hill Cock or fighting Cock. When it comes to names of gods and goddesses, after the indo Europeans came they added aspects of the gods personalities to various epithets seemingly creating new gods who where actually just aspects of one person. The gods were also downgraded after every age to the point where in Psalm 82 :6-7 I said, `You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'7But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler." This to the point where they live amongst us and you would never know. Now that is a fun thought brother.

@@TheStoryCrow You know the new testament including Revelation is written in Greek...I think they may have known who Apollo was when they wrote his name in the book. Apollo the god of the sun, light and death and plague. He sounds a bit like the pale rider, death with plague following not far behind. ... Do you think the destruction of the twin towers on 911 was a coincidence? The twins Apollo and Diana, the sun and the moon. Able Archer NATO exercise that nearly wiped out the planet held on the date of the 9th -11th / 11 / 1983...8+3=11. Princess Diana murdered on the 31st August 1997...3+1=4...1997+4=19911. She waa murdered on the last phase of the moon in Pisces. The night of the dieing Moon. Coincidences. The Apollo 11 fake moon landings. Even NASA is a reference to Apollo. The Celtic Apollo and his games, Lughnasa. Now we are really having fun. Some scholars say the book of Revelation has had the name of Jesus added to it at a later date. Many early church leaders didn't want it included in the Canon because it is clearly pagan. 14v14 is a clear reference to Kronos or the angel Metatron who's name means Reaper Justice. Meta comes from the Celtic met or Medel which means Reap and tron is Scots Celtic for measuring bar or measuring scale the symbol for Justice. The book of Revelation is about the return of the ancient of days, Apsu and Anshar, the elder gods. The return of the Titans / Anunna. The end of religion and it's false worship of the "gods". What kind of higher being acts worse than his creation and then adds guilt, shame, debt and fear on to his crowning glory, Humanity? What kind of god creates humanity then suddenly becomes a racist? All religion is messenger worship created by Typhon Aka Hermes himself. In every religion, You never get to talk to god, all your faith is in the messenger or priest caste. It doesn't matter what religion your in, it always goes back to Thoth AKA Typhon, Apepi, Set, Hermes, Mercury, Buddah, Apostle Paul / Saul, You didn't think the devil was going to let you have a book that would give you all the answers. As the Apostle Paul said with much dupers delight, the devil keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.. Now it's a party brother. Stanley X

@jemasonn
@jemasonn 2 месяца назад
It’s nothing to do with “nationalism” that is a trite and tired retort based off of English ignorance and nationalistic arrogance. Though blight may have decimated the potato harvest prior to the Irish famine, there was still plenty of other food resources that were forcibly kept from the Irish population. It was an “English” blight that caused the famine and intentional genocide of the Irish population. That is a historic fact backed up by record.

And as I fluent Irish speaker, I can also say that your pronunciation of our words is comically poor. I’m sure you can find some videos here on RU-vid and listen to how the words/names are actually spoken.
