I’m glad to hear this video helped you to connect to the culture. My father is French Canadian, but I didn’t grow up with him, so I understand your struggle❤️
I never believed in spirits or ghosts until I had a job traveling the world and had a horrifying experience in a bar/club in Oslo Norway. The building had been a place where ships were built, long ago. A few of my coworkers and I were stalked seperately by whatever that spirit was. I kept having out of body experiences when it came around, and one of my group had this trancy nightmare about how each of us would die. I also encountered spirits on the grounds of an ancient Shinto shrine (built in 111 AD) when I lived in Tokyo. They seemed friendly, though, like they wanted to play with me. They appeared as these tiny, multicolored swirling lights, like the way a swarm of gnats churn around through the air. I told my Japanese girlfriend about it later, and she went pale. She told me those grounds were haunted, and said, "Don't ever walk there alone at night, again." Of course, I went back the next night, and the next. They never showed up again.
This is very fascinating. Honestly, as someone who believes in the supernatural, whenever something strange happens to me, I’m always sceptical about it. No matter how crazy the situation is, I always come up with the most reasonable excuses 😅. Japan must be one of richest cultural places regarding legends. How lucky you were to experience something there.
This is neat. I live near Mexico and this reminds me of many Mexicans beliefs and traditions. It's fun to find commonality. You seem nice so I subscribed
Eso es tan cierto! Mientras otros países tienen leyendas de todo tipo, las nuestras siempre son de horror. Nosotros tenemos una forma mágica de procesar el trauma, transformarlo en algo fantástico.
@@evasliteraryparlour exacto, convertir lo que se sufrio en nuestro pasado en algo casi romantico, aqui en Mexico mucha gente conoce a la llorona como algo de miedo, pero algunos estranjeros lo ven mas como algo romantico y tragico a la vez.
Thank you for making videos about Venezuelan culture. I would love to learn more. In the US we aren't taught very much of anything about Latin America.
Thank you for sharing of your culture and your family. In America, we love to ignore the outside world. Influencers, like yourself, remind us that a vibrant, exciting and beautiful world exists outside our borders. The melding of Catholicism and native culture/religion goes back to the first arrival of the Spanish…a totally different story. Thanks.
Sorry for my late reply. Sometimes RU-vid doesn’t notify me whenever I get comments. Thank you for watching! I think it is fascinating how religions merge and evolve.
