I'm by no means a historian or scholar of any sort, but I am passionate about Celtic history, legends, mythology, folklore and culture.
There is a rich tapestry of history across all of the different cultures around the world, but Celtic history is my focus for a number of reasons. For me, it's learning about and watching how Celtic culture unfolded and branched off into different regions with their own customs, languages, stories, and traditions. It's about independence and power struggles, the stories of people, and legends passed down through generations. It's also about how the influences of Celtic culture shaped so many other things around the world.
My goal is to create content on myths and histories of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, Cornwall, and Brittany. I hope you enjoy the channel, learn something, and maybe even laugh a bit!

🏴 The Tale of the Scottish Thistle 🏴 #folklore #history #scotland
More than two hundred different types of thistles exist, and several different varieties are found in Scotland - anything from the milk thistle to the cotton thistle, but what makes this plant so endearing to Scottish culture and even having an Order around it?
Discover in about 3 minutes how the thistle became a symbol of Scotland, what the Vikings had to do with it, why it was adopted as the national emblem, and how and why the Order of the Thistle originated and evolved over time.

Watching this as a Boyne is actually really interesting
I’m related to him and the 25th is five days after my birthday -that’s weird my last name is Bruce and I kinda look like him idk why I think that but I do
hallowed ween some very traditional practices have been discontinued for these days that's for sure but for the particularly Celtic rough equivalent of the modern festival hmm..
To say james command was questionable at best. From Wikipedia James, like his brother, sought refuge in France, serving in the French army under Turenne against the Fronde, and later against their Spanish allies.[20] In the French army James had his first true experience of battle, in which, according to one observer, he "ventures himself and chargeth gallantly where anything is to be done".[20] Turenne's favour led to James being given command of a captured Irish regiment in December 1652, then appointed Lieutenant-General in 1654.[21] In 1657, France, then engaged in the Franco-Spanish War (1635-1659), agreed an alliance with the Commonwealth of England, and when Charles responded by signing a treaty with Spain, James was expelled from France.[22] James quarrelled with his brother over this choice, but ultimately joined Spanish forces in Flanders led by the French exile Condé. Given command of six regiments of British volunteers, [21] he fought against his former French comrades at the Battle of the Dunes.[23] After France and Spain made peace with the 1659 Treaty of the Pyrenees, James considered taking a Spanish offer to be an admiral in their navy, but declined the position. Soon after, the 1660 Stuart Restoration returned his brother to the English throne as Charles II.[24]
Did you know, the death of Macbeth is often interpreted as a consequence of both fate and his own actions. The witches’ prophecies set the stage for his downfall, but it is his own choices - his murder of king Duncan, and subsequent rampage - that drive the plot forward. This duality is a key aspect of his tragic flaw: the inability to reconcile fate and free will. 👀💭 And just for those wondering, reconciling fate and free will is a philosophical and existential concept that refers to the tension between predetermined events (fate) and individual agency (free will). It is the struggle to understand how much of our lives are covered by forces outside of our control (such as destiny or fate), and how much we can shape through our own choices and actions (free will). 😮
Thanks sister Act of kindness for responding to those whomever pay different attention to sacred human

There are several such videos on TH-cam now. This is the best of its kind: the most comprehensive and accurate.
Shane was murdered by the McDonald's because he killed many of them and held one of their nobles of the captive for many years foolishly thinking they would forget about it he attended a banquet where, ultimately he lost his head

A genius puts a country together in 1603. In 2024 Idiots try to break the country up.
Not just really a modern adaptation but a restoration as well. Come up to and return to The sacred ways and Religious Events that were put as lost thanks to the new age Devilic Cult of CULTianity and all hebraism for that matter.
Really interesting, love to hear takes of old ❤
And King Billy won, Magna Carta is preserved, we have the Bill of Rights. Act of Toleration, freedom. justice, democracy, everything that Britain represents and spread to the world through our Empire. No wonder we still celebrate it centuries later.
I shared this on my facebook page because I want people to learn about the pagan/wiccan holiday that my birthday also seems to fall on.
Not mention of the R an pillaging that the hanoverian forces did directly following the battle.
Pretty decent broham.
Thanks!
Thank you sir 🫡

I would have loved to have set eyes on my native land back then in all its natural and formidable beauty. When I make my own videos for my channel I always visualise with that in mind.
Thanks for this 🏴
Douglas was referred to mainly as Sir James of Douglas or Lord of Douglas. The poet John Barbour would refer to him as the "good Sir James' or the "good lord of Douglas" but it was not a title or nickname. Barbour refers to his dark hair. In the Middle Ages devils were often depicted as black (from the fires of Hell). It is likely the supposed nickname "Black Douglas" came from these two elements. No black armour recorded.
In other words, Christianity appropriated Samhain.
Hush ye, hush ye, do not fret ye, the Black Douglas will not get ye!
I dont know if im related, but im an O'Neill. And my family is also O'hanlon
Aughrim the main battle of the three Kings 10 thousand Irish footsoldiers died in defence of their homeland and way of life the battle close run affair in the beginning French General decided on immediate battle against Williamites killed by cannonball early in battle interpetive center commerates the engagement .After Siege of Limerick many Irish soldiers left their homeland leaving a defenceless population majority Catholic ushering Penal Laws to join the French Army/ Wild Geese!
He looks so preciously sad.
Interesting video, although the miss use of miss understanding of the word Catholic is the man disappointing fact in this video. The word Catholic means universal and does not and can not only mean the church of rome members. Any religionor faith made up of different people with different skins colours, different language, from different country's are ALL Catholic. Islam, Judaism, orthodox, church of rome and protestant are in fact Catholic.
A nicely generalised summary of events.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching!
