The Norse connection is fascinating to me, especially demonstrsting just how connected the region is. I guess if I had any request, it would be entities that have Norse origins but the world knows them through another nation.
I’ll definitely be looking more into this topic! It’s truly fascinating, and it goes to show that these civilisations aren’t as separate and isolated as people like to think.
Props for giving the link about the Nordic origins of Cailleach. It is possible that She is a conflation of the Nordic and Iberian origins.
4:00 this is fascinating, thank you
I heard that, like Thor she commanded lighting and had a Hammer not a wand, She used it to create the Mountains/landscape. Maybe that's from a culture mix as the Norse had settled in these Celtic regions.
I'm from Ireland (Beara, actually) and we tend to say "Cailleach" as if it rhymes with "dry sock" 😅, plain and simple. We could have just butchered it over the years though, wouldn't be surprised if the older generations pronounced it more like you do! Wonderful video, thank you!
Interesting that she has 8 hags. That's 9 total, adding herself, and 9 is the most sacred number in Norse Mythology.
You’re so right, I didn’t think of this! Excellent point, you just clicked something in my brain
I love hearing about the different folk tales that represent the changing of the seasons. I always wondered why a cold day on Imbolc means a warm year ahead but I love the reason that the hag is already asleep 😊
Also the final tale of the beggar lady reminds me in many ways of a Hungarian folk tale called "The diligent girl and the lazy girl".
Great work Viv, lots of lovely images throughout the video too 👏👏👏
Thank you, Ben! I love folktales about the changing of the seasons as well, and the Imbolc one was a big ah-ha moment for me. I want to check out the Hungarian folktale you mentioned now!
