My favourite elf in fiction is Maed(h)ros from the Silmarillion and he is so beloved for me on a level that I keep (closet) cosplaying him and constantly drawing this character. :D
I love how in depth you go into etymology and historical context! so many fantasy/mythology videos only talk about myths themselves and not as much about the context around them. For me that gave everything you said more weight.
so happy you decided to make this channel honestly. there aren't enough TH-camrs out there with this kind of content and delivering with such good quality too!! I can't wait to witness your journey, and to learn from you
Edit: just got to the part of the video where she talks about this haha oops I enjoy how the differences between how the Elves organize to flee Middle-Earth and when the humans need to organize to flee. Even the "lowest" elves have a job in that situation, are employed and are brought along. All members of their society have a place and have value, and such they all have a role, even in such a chaotic and fearful time. But man doesn't embody what is, essentially a form of socialism, universal basic income, guaranteed Healthcare etc. Don't mean to turn thus political but, I personally see the Elves as examples of idealistic socialist societies. Though, they certainly can be quite stuck up and do indeed nearly leave Middle-Earth to ruin.
i’m can’t express how happy i am to have come across your channel. i’m a 21 mexican-american (born and raised in the states) traveling in ireland for the first time on a month long school trip and this was such a great window into the aspects of folklore that had such a big role in my decision to come here
oh my gosh, i hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way but i was SHOCKED to see that you don’t have more subscribers - the quality of your content and even just your presentation as a person is really top tier, if you keep going trust me there’s definitely some astronomical growth in the channels future (not that numbers is what it’ll all about though, of course ⭐️ making content that fewer people truly connect to is much more valuable than making content that more people simply consume passively) still, i’ll make sure to do my part and share! 🩵 but like i said, im sure you won’t need my help in the end :)
Apperently i shouldnt watch this at night. both the music for when the burial mounds reapeared, and the danger with tolkien fairy picture with the speech really scared me. Good video!! just scared me being alone at night with headphones
It's easy to say fairies aren't real until your tormented by one every night for 5 years of your childhood. People are still encountering them. When you understand that there is a multiverse and the possibility of there being 9, 12 or even infinite realities co existing parallel to our own mean that the chances of fairies being real far out weighs the the chances of them not existing. Not to mention the mountains of circumstantial evidence and the fact that cultures from all around the world have stories about them even before they started trading stories. Just because you have not experienced them, doesn't mean they aren't real, cause some of us have.
9:10 Wait hold up is Thomas the Rhymer just the meme question about Pinocchio? “Can he answer yes or no questions on the origin of life?” Where Pinocchio cannot tell a lie is he believes it to be true, Thomas the Rhymer could answer everything.
I very much enjoyed your content although the presentation felt sometimes choppy on the edit. You have a very pleasant tone and your accent is a lovely & exotic well enunciated variant. Very informative and thought provoking, while somewhat pedantic, but despite that, you have an innate charisma that feels magical enough to keep us engaged. Looking forward to more content, I’ll stay tuned! Kudos and best of luck as this project develops! …and you have a beautiful smile! Good to see it!
thanks for your feedback! My two main goals are being more confident in front of the camera so the editing will go smoother AND finding my style, which will hopefully be more relaxed. Hope you'll stay 😊🖤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I don't know anything about fae in Turkish lore but that sounds so very interesting 🖤 My favourite kind of literature is the sort that reworks old myths and stories into something new. And tbh, I'm somewhat scared of children 😂
@@ailenalma 🤍 Yes, I do like that type of literature too, therefore I truly hope I can succeed in delivering cultural information while reworking it and creating an interesting plot. And ahah, I actually usually find children terrifying too in some manner. I struggle to communicate with them as they have a totally different view of the world and I am very afraid of being misunderstood, including being misunderstood by those children.
Just found your channel this morning, love what you are doing. You know there are a lot of other cultures that also have stories of the faye, in the America's the native cultures (Indians) speak of a large variety of the little people and nature spirits. The Polynesian cultures have stories about the Min eh hune as well as a large variety of nature spirits. Stories I think you will find interesting. Keep
So glad you found the channel! I have been wondering if YT was showing this video in the homepage? And isn't it so fascinating how so many cultures relate and find it essential to talk about them? Thanks for sharing these :)
This is Awesome! The video is both informative and entertaining. You got me glued to the screen, and you expanded my horizon in the process. Thank you so much for creating this.
Only the second video I have watched but I am completely enthralled by your videos. They are delightly presented, highly informative, and intelligently researched. You are gifted :-) Thank you for an outstanding time while learning so much, so cool!
I had something very fast and silent fly right near me earlier this evening. All I actually saw was a wing that looked a lot like a dragonfly wing. I was walking through a wooded area at dusk through a natural wooden archway. I also saw something flit from one tree to behind another tree but I could not see anything when I got over to the place, near a gate at the end of the trees just before I was leaving the area.
What an extremely fascinating subject. I have also always loved folktales and only recently noticed these aesthetics so it is really interesting to find out your thoughts on this xx
I have recently come across your TH-cam channel and have watch a few of your videos. They are very inspirational for me since I write fantasy prose poetry. I notice you haven’t posted an any new videos. Will you be creating new ones?
Excellent présentation ! I don't usually comment on these types of videos but you have thoroughly explained and developped some longing questions I had about Fairy Lore. Thanks. I may be late to your show, but I'm now following your channel. Stay cute :)
All of these assorted types of beings which have been labled and clissified as "mythology" and "fantasy" are in fact different types of "aliens" (non human) which have shared this realm with us all along. Likewise with "giants" and many other types of creatures.
Wow Love this narration also this is more information about the fae that I have heard about . . I mean it is very attention grabbing and enjoyable to listen to. Suppose there are a lot of books about fairies, but I'd rather listen from a person who has the passion for the subject, than me reading about it.
It may sound silly but there is a big debate over if fairies wear footwear/ boots in the music community. Could you by any chance answer this question for me? We are actually having LIVE STREAM online debates.
The neutral angels theory for fae is one I personally sort of like. The idea that they are souls of children is one of heard where the idea of a neutral soul, is kind of a child who’s old enough to make choices and all but they aren’t like old enough to go before god and be judged for their choices, become fae, or playful trickster spirits. Interesting to think about hah
Im very happy to have stumbled onto this channel. This chicks awesome haha Terence mckenna popularized "Self Transforming Elf Machines" which are encountered using NN-DMT. Ive been a witness to High Strangeness on a few occasions. Whats puzzling is the legends and lore surrounding them before Christianity seem to be fitting of their true nature. But when you see them.... Words are worthless.
Good day, Have you heard of fairies also called Albi ? I read this years ago but I cannot find the reference now? Or how does the word Albi fit in with Fairies. Thank you for your knowledge on this subject.
I'm a seasonal fairy lover ever since I was a girl I loved Thumbelina and Tinkerbell I (want to work with Think) it's absolutely magical here I am in my 30s just itching to dwell in fairy world and being one with nature
I also would love to hear your ideas about the stratification of masculine/feminine roles in the mythology surrounding the hidden people. Seems like you have some very compelling stuff you're alluding to...
so happy to have found your channel I was watching a lot from High Elven Wisdom and Love... and Elven Scholar ..there is not much out there i look forward to see your video Merry meet fae blessings 🙏
What were the sources that you used in this video? I'm in a creative drive at the moment and so I've been looking into fairies and folklore that talks about them to help me in creating characters. One of the books that I'm reading that is a wealth of information and imagery is _Good_ _Faeries_ / _Bad_ _Faeries_ by Brian Froud who also wrote a book subtly titled _Faeries_ . He's an award-winning illustrator and author who was a concept designer for The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. If you browse through the pages of either books, you can immediately tell by the illustrations how alike they are. Also I had been looking away when you spoke the last bit of the outtakes and I thought you said something in Gaelic, but when I checked you put on that it was Spanish.
I agree! I appreciate you taking the extra time. I appreciate you being a nerd, it is important. And personally, It's attractive to me.🔥 An Irish/Dane🌱
So Fairies sometimes appear on Fridays. TGIF I suppose. 😂 Lovely video. This has helped me with my own fantasy series. It’s about Druids and has heavy ties with the Fae folk.
My Grandmother, a Cassidy, came to America circa around the turn of the 20th Century with her 4 brothers. She moved quickly into American culture and worked for a long time as a "nurse" and married my grandfather shortly after he returned from the war in Europe. His origin is and was a mytery. He claimed he was Welsh but I think he just did not want to be associated with the Irish.....except to, I guess, marry them
you are beautiful and I loved your videos very well researched I would love to know more about elves and fairies, I am from ecusdor and you gained a great fan
pov: its 1:30am I randomly got motivation to write a wlw fantasy book (im not even an adult) about two fairies that from different species (their species are at war) and im trying to do research on fairies and the difference between fae and fairy, and what makes a fairies or faeries evil so that i know how to name the species 😭
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the legends... It's a lot of info for me to catch up..... Right now... But definitely will grab on to all of it Thank you so so much.... This was something I was waiting to find❤🙏 Alwyn = Elf+Wine(Friend) = a friendly elf🙂 Try to understand about Saturn.. in astrology.. N it reaching its home...Capricorn! Saturn is a significator of Tradition! You will know why there is a revival of the culture.. All over the world!
Great video! I would love more info on the old folkloric roots of fairies! I recently read "Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries" by Heather Fawcett, which is a fantasy novel written as the research notes/journal of the fictional Emily Wilde, an expert on faeries in a world where they truly exist. I mention this because the protagonist starts off by discounting the dangerous side of faeries, but their darker side comes more and more to the front as the book goes on. The book is set in the early 1900s. Given the info you provided in your video, I think it might have been a deliberate choice on the author's part to start with the Victorian disenchanted and child-friendly view of the fairies, and then peel back the layers to the older, enchanted, dangerous version underneath. Anyway, you might enjoy the book, and I am loving your videos and eager to learn more about the folkloric and mythological roots of fairies!
Tbh I wouldn’t compare elves to “queerness.” I’m a gay man and I don’t see it like that. I see it wayyy beyond our human concepts, including “gender nonconforming” since they aren’t human. We still try to make rules and labels for things when it’s not necessary 😅
Humans just can't get over and past themselves when it comes to control. The ego is like a boomerang. You can cast it out, but without fail it will return and need to be cast out again & again.🔥
Should definitely include the bloopers after each video hahaha. Perhaps itstoo specific for a video, but i think a Galadriel analysis could be very interesting😁
Mab, toward the end of the Arthurian Age knew the Fae were to be relegated to the past, to forget and be forgotten....so she fought against this concept, even though it was a doomed fight....
I enjoyed your video, well done! I noticed that there was an avoidance of reference to the sexual and attractiveness aspect of fairies and elves. Probably more evident in Victorian age and our present age including the beginning of the elvish enchantment which really gained momentum in the 1960's when Tolkien really gained popularity. It seems to me that there is today a distinct separation in presentation of fairies in particular. There are those that visualize them as child like and there are those that visualize them as beautiful female entities that are not only facially beautiful but have exceptionally attractive and slender, sensual female bodies and almost without exception long flowing hair. There are some notable exceptions for there also some that are female but exhibit some male characteristics (shorter hair, and a tomboyish look and actions as in fighting /battling). I am not sure what that may mean and if it is an outcome of the changes that are occurring in society. It does seem to me to worthy of investigation and exposure . Thank You for your work and sharing it with us.
This is all the confirmation anyone ever needed that I’m a total nerd 😂✨ Tell me, who’s your favourite fairy/elf in legend or fiction?
My favourite elf in fiction is Maed(h)ros from the Silmarillion and he is so beloved for me on a level that I keep (closet) cosplaying him and constantly drawing this character. :D
@@Mythcrowned Maedhros is so cool! A less popular choice, one of my favourites is Fëanor😁
@@ailenalma Ah I love Fëanor as well, I find him quite fascinating and peculiarly interesting. :D
When I was a lot younger I did like the character fafhrd in Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.
The story of Malekin has had so many variations
That Waterhouse printed bodice is outstanding 😎
I love how in depth you go into etymology and historical context! so many fantasy/mythology videos only talk about myths themselves and not as much about the context around them. For me that gave everything you said more weight.
Thank you for appreciating that! I'll try to strike a balance between the two in my future videos- I think both approaches can be interesting!
Great video, a very inspiring summery. Also, the impatient porteño scream at the end was really unexpected.
I am just watching Peter Pan, and I played The Legend of Zelda yesterday. Both very fitting characters!
I've never sat through a video about Elves and Fairies, I'm glad I sat through yours, very insightful!
so happy you decided to make this channel honestly. there aren't enough TH-camrs out there with this kind of content and delivering with such good quality too!! I can't wait to witness your journey, and to learn from you
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're here 😊
Tolkien’s elves are my most FAVORITE interpretation of elves. Absolutely amazing beings
Edit: just got to the part of the video where she talks about this haha oops

It would be the Noldor Elves who were the most prideful,Fëanor is the poster for a prideful Elf.

Yes please go indepth into the types of Fey

Just because you have not experienced them, doesn't mean they aren't real, cause some of us have.
Also when jewelry,coins,and other shiny things come up missing....Fae are definitely real.

Flower fairies, pixies, and ‘little people’ do exist in earlier folklore but they where considered ‘low’ fae compared to the beautiful high, court fae

Aren't gay folk considered faeries lol?
Elves have gender, just like all of nature has gender. It's humans who want to be non- conforming. Nature is OK with being what it is.
Humans just can't get over and past themselves when it comes to control. The ego is like a boomerang. You can cast it out, but without fail it will return and need to be cast out again & again.🔥
people insert themselves into history to make themselves feel more important. thats why people add lgbt stuff to ancient metaphysical beings.

Perhaps one about the Queen of Fairy in general? And trust me, I will 😂

I I have many pictures of fairies of different types and sizes, some gnomes, trolls, an elf…
Love this so much- 🌛🥀🕯️🥀🌜
Maybe the elves are missing link.
Maybe you should meditate about it..
It reminds me of the 1st volume of a series of books I've read abt mythical creatures... Amos Daragon, the wearer of masks ith it would be in English
I enjoyed your video, well done! I noticed that there was an avoidance of reference to the sexual and attractiveness aspect of fairies and elves. Probably more evident in Victorian age and our present age including the beginning of the elvish enchantment which really gained momentum in the 1960's when Tolkien really gained popularity. It seems to me that there is today a distinct separation in presentation of fairies in particular. There are those that visualize them as child like and there are those that visualize them as beautiful female entities that are not only facially beautiful but have exceptionally attractive and slender, sensual female bodies and almost without exception long flowing hair. There are some notable exceptions for there also some that are female but exhibit some male characteristics (shorter hair, and a tomboyish look and actions as in fighting /battling). I am not sure what that may mean and if it is an outcome of the changes that are occurring in society. It does seem to me to worthy of investigation and exposure . Thank You for your work and sharing it with us.
