Have you ever heard of the Haigs of Bemersyde? That’s from my fathers side n my moms side is from the Henderson of Glencoe that were the pipers and bodyguard of the Macdonalds of Glencoe, we were related by the marriage of the chiefs daughter to heather john n their son was John of lochsbar n became first maclain. My fathers side is related to Drudkine Mac Ferat the 69 th king of picts defeated by Kenneth MacAlpin n his son was sent away with retainers to the king of Norway Olaf 2 n married his neice n several generations later came back as commander of the army’s n fought against the Scots. Both my ancestor Druskine n Kenneth MacAlpin were in fact somehow related but they didn’t matter next to ambitious people that will do anything n everything to reach their goals!

Óðinn and Dagda do indeed have a great deal in common. Their names 'Allfather' of course. Then there is their association with the dead and mounds. Their association with ravens as Óðinn has two ravens(Huginn and Muninn) and Dagda being married to the raven goddess of war, the Morrigan. The fact that the Dagda wears 7 shrouds and Óðinn is even often referred to as Grimnir, the masked one.

@damionkeeling3103 Год назад

There's a couple of other sort of related deities such as Prometheus from Greek myth who was punished for bringing fire to humans, as in enlightenment but it makes him a god of fire. It's also similar to Odin being hung from Yggdrasil to gain knowledge. There is also Shiva from Indian tradition. Tolkien used Odin as inspiration for Gandalf, the old grey wanderer.

A cowl, a horse and a man that is unfamiliar or disguised is likely the implication of the heiti Grímni. Mask is a bit of the stretch but most of it helps support the arguments present.

@blakey9089 11 месяцев назад

I heard on another video that it is theorised that cernunnos is likely the primordial ancient God in Europe and as time went and societies changed aswell as other influences we ended up with pagan branches based from cernuunos but in particular Odin(in whichever version you choose) and dagdha. It's believed there very likely was a basic all round God in our very early days before things became more complex and society evolved. It's even more likely since concepts of 'god of' aswell as heaven, hell and even Valhalla were modern concepts in the grand scheme of thing. We at one point wouldn't have needed many gods when everything about Hunter gatherer culture then as time evolved and things like large scale wars and separations and divides occurred with profit and privilege became a thing, every changed. Unfortunately, due to the fires of Alexandria any proper evidence based knowledge on this topic was likely destroyed forever. I should say cernunnos most likely is far from what that original God was called it's just all we have I guess to refer to them as.

Very interesting as a cultural synopsis to include the cultural correlations between that of others and their bidirectional relationship! Great work loved every min! Honestly I believe that having direct linkage to this inherent interest, culture and exposure to the megaliths such as Grianan and Newgrange, with some of my family owning some ground some monuments are on that this cultural identity can live on through folk like myself!

Real druids are bloodthirsty black magicians, and many politicians today consult and or are druids, as are many freemasons and other kabbalists. Right now the world is in the end times prophesied in the one true religion, with a great deception of false worldly "good" coming very soon, which if one is deceived by, they sever themselves permanently from GOD and are damned. So it is time to set down all fantastical delusions and focus strongly on reality to prepare for the coming spiritual war for our eternal souls.

@hawklord100 Год назад

As the Dagda is referred to as holding an iron staff, we can assume that he came during the iron age either at the beginning and displacing the original stone builders or during the iron age where he introduced Druidisim, this means that he was several thousands of years later than the late stone age and early bronze age stone circles and standing stone era. Also recorded battles amongst Druids were often verbal battles over a piece of Philosophy or a new direction/ceremony rather than blood and guts fighting.

@nicholasthompson6152 Год назад

The iron age isn't the age iron was first discovered. Just because something happened in let's say the bronze age it doesn't mean only bronze was available. Those are named as such because these metals became much more common and widely used throughout.

@hawklord100 Год назад

@@nicholasthompson6152 You are being free with the ages of discovery, the earliest use of iron so far discovered was approx 1200bc in eastern Turkey and although it fits in with the migrations of people from 'anatolia/Turkey' approx 1200bc it is unlikely to be earlier and probably quite a bit later than this earliest date. So what I am suggesting is that as the stone megalith circle and mound building time span was typically 5800bc to 1200bc stone age and through all of the european bronze age, for a 'traveller' band to show up holding an iron staff has to be later than 1200bc, well outside the construction time span of say Newgrange. but it does fit in with migrants invading and killing off either with disease or a new culture takeover which may have being what stopped the actual Stone/Megalithic buildings. So at best you are subtly correct but it is certainly later than 1200bc as iron wasn't widely known or smelted for many hundreds of years due to its rubbish properties of corrosion, brittilness and difficulty in smelting but yes a 'priest/shaman' would more likely have it than a war leader

@nicholasthompson6152 Год назад

@celtofcanaanesurix2245 Год назад

I had a theory recently while studying celtic linguistics that Sucellos' name doesn't mean "the good striker" but rather "the well hidden" or "the good hidden one" as cellos looks to me like it comes from the root cel- meaning "to hide". I further connect this to the ethnic or tribal name Celtae / Keltoi, as I think this comes from the past participle form of the root cel which would have been celtios, in the plural celtioi, thus making the word mean something like "(they who are) hidden" perhaps a reference to the fact they believed themselves descended from Sucellos. This can be supported by the fact that Julius Caesar says the gauls believe themselves the descendants of Dis Pater, and with Sucellos likely being the celtic hades, it's an interesting connection. Also I noticed that the story of Bran's invasion of Ireland to take back his sister sounds a lot like the Persephone story of a goddess entering the under world with a distraught relative who wants them to return.

@damionkeeling3103 Год назад

Anything's possible, personally I think Celtae and Galatae are derived from the same word and perhaps related to caled - hard. Where does the t come from if Celt comes from cel? Wouldn't plural be Celae, Celici or similar?

Those with an agenda - as with academics today that are trying to prove a point or make a name for themselves within the current framework of scholastics - sure, they will color their findings to suit what is "popular". But genuinely curious people who believed EVERYTHING would reflect the truth in one way or another, I think, would just record what they saw and heard of belief and folklore honestly - hoping that someone one day would understand it better. That might be naïve, but I really don't think so. It is how working anthropologists, archeologists, and free lance enthusiasts of a particular subject work to this day.

The Dagda has both Cthonic and Indo-European attributes. Sounds like a High King/Priest or Druid position of the pre-existing common folk. Later, Llugh is the high leader but Dagda is still present in his role. The Dagda is the only one who weds the Moriggan. Llugh only receives her blessing and she decides whether to enter the battle on the side of the Formorians, the Tuatha De/Fir Bolg under Llugh or not engage at all. So it seems the Moriggan and the Dagda may have been Neolithic roles of High PriestKing and High PriestessQueen elevated into Deities and incorporated into the new Tuatha De Danaan pantheon.

Maybe because they aint no such thing and a impossibility of a American being a celt, the English have more Celt DNA than American born in America even though The English are a different type of Keltoi tribe...

I have just recently taken to watching some of my more lengthy videos at a higher rate of speed (just 1.25) since I don't always have the amount of time it would take to watch them in standard and it struck me that your pacing sounds.. normal? at 1.25. I was curious if you upload at a reduced speed for clarity sake, due to the nature of the often complicated pronunciation in your subject matter? Or if you purposely speak with a slower cadence when you record? It's not meant to be a criticism, simply an observation and I was curious. Your content is fascinating and I love to hear it, I was just thrown off since usually it takes my brain a minute to adjust after I kick up the speed. 💚

Also the Merlin Saga by T.A. Barron uses much of the Celtic pantheon in it's story, which is what originally started me down the path of reading mythology. Highly recommend to anyone who wants Celtic or Arthurian influenced stories!

I may be crazy but this is sounding a lot like Odin ( grey wanderer, many guises and names, association with death and sorcery, association with horses, the great father or father of many) Edit after watching later in the video : ok I'm not the only one who sees it Edit: you may have missed a parallel "turned aside the spears and weapons of Lugh " one of the skills Odin was said to gain from the Runes is " to turn aside the weapons of enemies " And of course there's also all the "eye" motifs "fiery eye" "one eye" etc

This kind of correlation is why a lot of celtic pagans look to Nordic and germanic pagans for reconstruction of their ancient myths and religion.

@CN-dv9nj Год назад

I've disbelieved what I have been casually told much of my life that I am of Celtic or Scottish blood. One family I met in Portugal told me that to their eyes, I descended from a daughter of "The Dagda". Having no knowledge of any Celtic histories or mythology nor any family members who relate back, I thanked them as the context they applied was one of strength and courage. I was young and dismissed the talk and secreted my irritation that people see my coloring and label me w certain characteristics, capabilities and origins. My mothers line came from Northern France as an extended group with locks auburn and skin pale. I within myself denied the possibility. In hindsight, many times seeing art or hearing dialects and even certain beliefs of objects of power held my attention and admiration while not allowing personal application. I took the ancestry DNA test this year. Northwester Europe, England 41% Scotland 22% Ireland 11% which is 73% of myself stares me in the face. I plead w my ancestor guides to forgive my blindness, please hold no malice as I have followed in the manner guided but denied I could claim connection to the knots that are tied. So now I want to know the histories closest to correct as far as can be known and have been selective with what I put in my mind as being congruent with the ringing of Celtic truths. I read here that those who know have said this video aligns with the truth they know. Would that I'd asked for more from the family in Portugal as why and what else they could have told me had I not been in denial being told "Northern France" all my life. I'll rewatch this many times no doubt.

@tymanung6382 Год назад

There were Celts , later mixed + local Liberians as Celt--- Iberians in part of modern Spain. Even today, in NW of Spain there is Celtic group called Galicians (Gallegos = Gallegos in Spanish), they speak their own Latin style language. In Portugal, there are at least 2 provinces where local folk music still sounds Irish or Scottish--- Tras, os, Montes, + ?? . So there are connections.

@somniumisdreaming 11 месяцев назад

Northern france makes sense with your dna. You weren't in denial thinking that. Your dna shows that possibility.

@damionkeeling3103 Год назад

He is, but as religions evolve less emphasis is placed on certain deities over others while others get elevated. There's a Norse god called Tiw whose name seems to be just 'god' suggesting he might have been more important once like an earlier version of Thor. Gods called just god like Dagda and Zeus tend to be important.
