    Interesting how many similarities there are to the druids and yogis/ mystics of the himalaya, where mysticism is just science. Not mythology or non fiction. I have heard that the Tuatha are mentioned in old Indian texts.

    • @BrehonAcademy
      @BrehonAcademy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I'm fascinated by this topic too. I've been to India a few times and studied the Bhagavad Gita and some of the other texts. The linguistic parallels are also astounding (arra = arya, breitheamh = brahmin, govinda = white cow, bó fhinne = white cow. I believe we can look to Hinduism to fill in some of the gaps - in an educated way. Manchán Magan talks about some of this in his book 32 Words for Field.

    The druids where also based in Wales, Anglesey was their main place, today it's called Holyhead this was where the Romans went to battle with them and wipe out their influence over the Ancient British tribes.

    How did the druids keep white robes white in those days ; its hard enough today 🤷‍♂️

    • @anachibi
      @anachibi ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If they were made of linen, they could lay it out in the sun to bleach naturally. But also considering their high status, they likely got new robes regularly. That is, assuming they did in fact wear white robes at all!

    Ones who are like the druids do exist now. Some even declare they are druids. They are not the same as your conmen and tricksters, trying to rake in money. They are recognised and understood by those who are not simple minded.

    In my opinion hags were so beautiful with the druids in there presence they all shared and kept each other safe.hags also were taught to swim like a dolphin and we're thought of like a Ocean maid with a knife in her underwear to take over drunkards ships the young beautiful women hag would slice there throats and take the drunkards ships and all there goods becouse they were drunk and slow

  • @ShelbyLegue-ej3yp
    @ShelbyLegue-ej3yp ปีที่แล้ว +2

    …. Except women were also druids because Pegan laws treated women as equals with rights… they not only went to war with men, they also believed women should be equally as educated.

    Everyone was "pagan" at the time.
    Roman empire were all "pagans" until one of their emperors decided to stop burning Chriatians and made his own version of the bible.
    Yet apparently it was just folk here that were "pagan"
    Its a dismissive term that tells you nothing.

    The hags were beautiful when they were young as virgens.they were protect by some druids.they were the druids beautiful women but some were maids .who would stay home with weapons to take care of there homes while they went off into the sea for fish crabs lobsters .as of today some people are nice and some are evil .but the young beauty hags were trained by the druids to fight for the lives and to protect the ones that were raped by the ocean people

    Maybe it's my aspie streak, but this woman's pronunciation is really grating on me. She'll say wren like an old Dingleman, but then gets Thomond & Aoibheail wrong. Nevermind calling Neptune a Greek & Roman god.

    I would not call early Pagans "Simple Minded" just because their beliefs and values are different from thy own....

    • @BrehonAcademy
      @BrehonAcademy  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I wholeheartedly agree, often the biases of the writers and the times the books are written will come through. Not my own opinion.

  • @MacGiollaCostigan
    @MacGiollaCostigan หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    So pagans already worshipped mother nature (God) such as the natural water wells but then the jews sent their middle eastern missionaries to convert them to worship some jew named jesus who taught them to be submissive and give up everything they ever fought for... Brilliant strategy by the jews i must admit

    • @pede8889

      Alternatively. The pagan Celts were the lost tribes of Israel , the Diaspora, hence the striking similarities in culture language and customs.
      Paganised Israelites ( not today's Jews)
      Start your research with the lost tribe of Dan in Europe(Tuath de Dannan) if interested.

      Right? Sorry I don't believe some jew is the supreme god. I'll trust my own Irish ancestors before the jews forced their religion on everyone

  • @RowanWiccae
    @RowanWiccae ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like some of the historical information in the video but the clear bias against and dismissal of contemporary pagans practitioners in this video (i.e. referring to people who choose to seek guidance from a diviner today being referred to as 'simple minded') it's really degrading and mean spirited. I had to dislike the video and couldn't finish the rest of it because of this. Very sad.

    • @Maximustard

      A middle eastern language supplanted the native Irish language, they destroyed Irish history, the church didn’t make Ireland great

      sent to destroy thriving pagan cultures and other independent beautiful cultures? xtianity destroyed the other cultures in its infancy else the diversity and culture they provide to modern europeans would be so many levels above than imported xtian values from middle east/byzantine
