In Slavic mythology we have Morana or Moranna, a goddess of death and winter. Names of her and Irish goddess are very similar so I guess we worshiped the same deity some time in the past
@irishrebel374 There may be some sort of evolution of the deities with common roots as irish/celtic people, nordic, germanic, and slavic people all have common ancestors very long ago. The culture and stories evolved in different directions and into different cultural identity but they came from the same source on genetic levels and archeological and anthropological levels as well as beliefs at a certain point reaches some commonality but we are talking before roman empire time in the regions of nordic, germanic, french land, and into the isles of Ireland and what is today known as UK. The cultures have common roots and cycles of interactions with the various branches of a proto-germanic/celtic whatever it was in the mainland europe West, NW, North, and Northeast of the alps. Alps being the natural divide between the greco-romans for a long time until they crossed over. Before that, it was an impasse. So there was an ancient proto-culture that seeded celtic, nordic, slavic, etc. cultures so there would be some level of commonality yet also differences as cultures takes their unique paths.
The tricky part is we have difficulty fully understanding this proto-culture because of limited record. In those days, going back possibly before an established written language or yet an understanding of that language if any, what it means. Lacking of a 'rosetta stone' for that. So it becomes a challenge for any research but cultures would have long cultural history passed down orally by oral traditions so it is likely true, here. So trying to figure this stuff out millenias later is very difficult.
@@stefanbrezar8642 most of Europe used to be either Celtic or Slavic before the Germanic genocides. Now both these groups are on their way to extinction.
Ah, the Morrigan. The closest image I associate with my Muses. Because every time I write, there are always three conflicting ideas on how to approach the story or scene. And since I already feed the crows in my neighborhood, it all just connected in my head.

@@MystOfMythology dude, you need to be more confident in yourself. Stop caring what others think about you and live your life. You have all these positive comments encouraging you. Don’t take the roll of the bashful elf. Own it and be who you want.
It is fun hearing all of these names actually pronounced. I've been reading the myths for years, but was always left up to my own imagination on the correct way to say them Thanks for another great myth!
The Morrigan is an interesting goddess. She can be considered a novel innovation of Irish mythology, but builds upon roles in earlier traditions. Gonna give my own breakdown since I've studdied way to much mythology specifically around this topic. One thing we have extensive evidence for archeologically, is a group of goddesses, or spirits, called the matres, or matronae, depending on their original form and how latins adapted them to writing. Their names mean, unsurprisingly, the Mothers or Matrons. They exist over a broad area of celtic land with different mothers given in different locations. There is considerable overlap with the River goddess tradition as well. Transitional Fairy myths give Banshee a bit more background, and make it clear they emerged from the same tradition as the Washer Women, and are the spirits of women important to the founding of septs, dynasties, families, clans, or tuatha. The roll seems to have been that of the founders wife, in life they would lead mourning traditions, and after thier deaths remain spectrally, watching over thier family as matrons. so, the Matrons, probably were these matrons in function. In sculpture they were often given in triplicate, or five-fold to represent the multitude of mothers. Seperate to that we have the battle crows. Existing as far south as gauls southern regions, the battle crows seem to have been a less widely regarded set of spirits, but still fairly extensive. Existing in south gaul and belgian gaul as Cathubodua, and in ireland as Badb Catha (same root, different syntax order). Linguistically they share some similarities with proto-germanic gods, I've heard some say they were the precursors to valkyries, and others link them specifically to a Baduhenna. Now the Morrigan appears to be a synchronization of these two roles into a single archetype. There were other mother-goddesses who would have fit as Matrons, Boan for example, but the Mother/Crow became its own archetype fitting the different Morrigans. Mor from Great, and Rigan from Queen, describes her holy office as founding Matron along side her husband Da Dagda. Worth noting that the germanic version of Badb, Baduhenna, has a suffix, associated with matron goddesses in the germanic tradition, so, a portion of the broader Matrons in both areas may have already been associated with the battle-crows, or perhaps merely with battle. This would mean rather than being a novel innovation in heavenly office, it was a novel innovation in name, for an established tradition of either battle-matrons, or matron battle-crows.
I won't lie. At first, I thought you had a guest for this video. 😅 I'm glad you shared your real voice. It sounds just as epic as the "old storyteller" voice from your other videos. 🩷👑
@MystOfMythology bro, all you have to do, is do it all the time. Then you develop your own style and way of speaking when it comes to narration. You are most definitely on the right track.
Your real voice works well for me. Makes for a more organic presentation, somehow. Never heard of this character. Seems like Irish lore is much more vast than I ever knew or suspected. Very interesting. Thank you!
Thank you Margee 🙏 Irish lore (and so many others) are fascinating! I’ve only scratched the surface. What’s fascinating is how they have travelled: from the Nordic myths, to the British Celts, and even from there to the Caribbean gods of death. All from the same line of myths.
Well done for taking a HUGE step to being more connected with your viewers. You did brilliantly with the Ai voice, but I think this ads another level to the videos. 👏 Looking forward to the next video.
One of my personal theories on why so much of the Irish Celtic lore was properly preserved, is that many of those early monks were also Ranking druids, and saw this as the best way to save their knowledge.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect Whimsy… I’ve recently set up an account and uploading them (slowly) open.spotify.com/show/3966G2dBEb7tC3YfiygsUb

Brandon, thank you, and your wife, so much for saying so! It genuinely warms my heart to hear that you watch my videos as a couple! It was a lot more work, for sure, mostly figuring stuff out, but I'm sure that'll get easier over time. Once again, sincerely, thank you both.
Thank you, George! There are three more videos out now. I am still trying to find my "voice," so let me know what you think! Death Gods: th-cam.com/video/CBdoiAFaulg/w-d-xo.html The Yule Goat: th-cam.com/video/bptt1JZ5L9U/w-d-xo.html Atlas: th-cam.com/video/7wa99QaSw8U/w-d-xo.html
Morrigan had a crow,a carrion eater, basically a symbol of death. Yet,the Greek goddess of war, Athena had an owl,a symbol of wisdom. The fact that two mythological goddesses of war had birds makes me wonder if the myths were intermixed in the past. (Nice reading in your actual voice!)
Mike, Thank you! Yes, I've dipped my toe into reading about this, but the ability to fly was often associated with accessing other realms - so it's common to see deities with birds. Maybe a future video. 🤔
In ancient times there was a lot of bird (and animal) symbolism -Totemism- based on close observation of animals and birds in their natural environment.Owls are superb nocturnal hunters as they can See In The Dark and can rotate their heads.They're apparently not really that intelligent. Ravens -and crows-on the other hand are (very) and are also a war bird as they sometimes mob eagles and hawks to protect nests.Swans emigrate vast distances and mate for life (as many birds do) so a Swan Knight is Christian/monogamous rather than pagan.During the 1000s of EQs here in NZ a number of years ago I used to read the flight patterns and behaviour of seagulls to determine if more quakes were due.Birds and animals know stuff.
War was not the predominant domain of Athena, the Greek god of War was Ares. Her association with war was strategy, "intelligent warfare", because her main domain was Wisdom and intelligence - therefor the Owl in that case has no connection to war and death. I don't think you can draw a direct connection here
Athena is the Goddess of Wisdom whereas Ares is the God of War. They were often broadly referred to as war gods but had very different reputations amongst the ancient Greeks. But Ares was specifically the God of War
Great video, very informative, thanks for sharing. Having never heard any of your other voices (?) I can only say that your voice is soothing, but still captures the interest of the listener, which I personally welcome. ❤
Dude, first time I listened to your channel ever to be honest, I just stumbled on this video and I absolutely love your voice. So kudos, You have a nice sounding voice bud! I certainly appreciate the content you put together as well. Will definitely follow and continue listening!
I'm new to your channel and have only watched a few videos but what you make is fascinating and personally I think your voice suits the videos better than the voiceover you've used on other videos 10:11 the disclaimer made me chuckle that was a nice touch
Thanks Simon! Your comment has come at a good time. While this video has done well, my other new videos with my voice haven't done so. If you do watch the others, let me know what you think. Thanks again!
Hi! I'm new to your channel this being the first video of yours I've watched. Your voice is lovely, and needs to be heard! You have a rich, soothing quality to your voice, with a deeply anchored undertone that quietly weights what you say. Please don't hide that, it's beautiful.
As a neo-pagan, ive come to believe that the Morrigan is 3 separate deities that fall under one title. Each being triplets that are all separate but equal or one. Perhaps the Morrigan being a title of plural representation rather than singular. But that is just me.
Oh! Yes. Absolutely love your voice ❤ very nicely done. I like you chose this one, to use your voice in. It made it more impactful.. Meaningful… insightful
This is your first video, and when I clicked, I was hoping it wasn't an AI voice. So, to find out this is your first voiced video, I really enjoyed it.
First, fantastic job narrating the video. You have a great voice for narration. Second, three goddesses who gradually become merged into one happened elsewhere in mythology. Asherah, Astarte, and Anat were likewise merged.
I liked the versions said in this video explains more than many other videos I have watched on youtube about the Mórrígan also I liked the differences in pronunciations of the name . I have been sort of studying many things throughout my life including Witch craft and some of the people that call themselves witch speak of calling the Mórrígan and then talking like she or it is something else , reminds me of children when are making up stories playing fantasy
Hello 👋 thanks for all the videos you have been making i really enjoy mythology and ancient history so it means a lot having a great channel like this to always be entertained, and although the previous voice had the feel of a grandpa telling this grandkids story i like this mature professor voice you have a great voice and thanks once more for all the videos
I appreciate many elements in this video -- from someone who apparently knows how to pronounce these infernal Irish names (some of which I do know, so I'm figuring you've got the rest of them correct, and that means a lot given the general slaughter out there by people that could care less about accuracy) to your referencing sources I hadn't heard of despite having tried to research this subject extensively. The only thing I could possibly wish for is if you had given a sort of bibliography of your references used in the creation of this work because wow was this useful. I don't know what your real voice is being compared to because this is the only vid I have ever viewed but I cannot fathom what might be the matter? I am a longtime student of classical voice and your diction, timing and timber are all very listenable, and again, here you are with a video filled with names from one of the most difficult languages on the planet. I'm sure impressed!
I am always civil, or at least I make an attempt to be civil. I really enjoyed your presentation. Thanks and keep talking. Our voices are important to us.
It's always interesting learning about myths and thinking about reinterpretations from later material. Dragon Age comes to mind. Flemeth houses the elven soul of Mythal, goddess of motherhood and justice, which is also the flip side of vengeance. That last aspect could be a reinterpretation of Morrigan's war aspect. Flemeth often influences events behind the scenes, hence fate aspect. She also "reincarnates" by taking over her daughter's bodies once the current one grows too old, and of course houses Mythal's original soul, which could be interpreted as the multiple original goddesses merging into one. The last reinterpretation that comes to mind is from Ancient Magus Bride. There is a goddess of spring/winter. Spring starts off as a young girl that eventually grows into a young woman that represents winter. Said winter goddess becomes pregnant with the "next" spring goddess. At one point Chise makes a deal with the winter goddess and invokes her old name Morrigan, which causes her to use her full power as a goddess of war. PS - I definitely recommend watching/reading Ancient Magus Bride. I'm always amazed how good Kore Yamazaki's research ability and creativity with reinterpreting said research.
Yes, she is real. VERY real. She only fights for those on the side of the uncorrupt white light. NEVER call on her, she serves at no one's request and will harshly confront you if you dare call upon her. Her appearance does change depending on the task at hand, from seemingly harmless to an absolute brutal terror in battle. I know because I've been involved in several battles in the energetic realms, and she has been there at many of them. And, once again, DO NOT call on her, if she feels that she needs to get involved, she will. Despite her fierce appearance and brutal presence on the battlefield, if you honor and respect her, and you serve the white light, she will not interfere with you. If you attack someone under her protection, your life will end very quickly and brutally, and she will literally collect your head.
Your true voice is actually fantastic. Great vid. I'm something of a Morrigan "fan", have engaged in many years of research, and IMO, totally love the Morgan LeFay angle...the association between the 2 if oft repeated, and I cannot disagree You know, if you run in those kinds of circles. Thank you for this. :) :0-
Wow I loved you used your voice for this, it feels so much more intimate and engaging, I love this channel even more now, is it possible to have a crush on a voice 😂❤
@MystOfMythology and I did I usually watch as soon as you post just been little busy preparing Yule planning etc, for the 21st of December but now I'm good keep up the great work your videos are great
This where the Dragon Age creators got the idea for their Morrigan? Definitely sounds like it. The character can shape change into a crow and her dress is definitely inspired by it. Best video game muse ever
Hey, well done, really enjoyed that! My surname is Merrigan and yes we have a beautiful female Mastweiller called Macha. The Irish pronunciation is a little off but solid job on the graphics and very well narrated. Incidentally, Merrigan is unrelated, its an anglicised version of the original O'Muireagain, the name was also anglicised to Murrigan, Murricane and Morgan.
The etymology of Macha is safe pasturage, or grazing land. lending to an association of protection in my opinion. Would also be associated with safe boundaries, or boundaries in general.
My personal thought is that The Morrigan Sisters represent Heaven, Earth, Man, and everything in between in Irish Lore; Morgan Le Fey represents the same things, but she is Arthur's half-sister. Her character shifts between good and 'evil' along with the machinations of Merlin. The Arthurian Story serves as an Arch-type of Jesus and the twelve disciples or followers, with Merlin, Guenevere and Morgan Le Fey serving as types of Holy Spirit, Mariah of Magdala and Judas Iscariot or Good and Evil all rolled into one.
Good video, very interesting! You have a pleasant voice and good pronunciation and diction. I encourage you to continue to use your voice in your videos.
One hundred thousand times better in your own voice. I’m no longer inclined to question the factual integrity due to the fake (AI) nature of the old dubbing. Stick to it! Brilliant video!
Old Irish predates Saxon, Anglo-Saxon and Latin dialects, it's far more probable due to the frequent trade between Ireland, and the other nations that it became a loan word, or even more probable is that all the comparative words were rooted in one of the precursor proto-languages that comprised the various Celtic dialects of central Europe.
I can't list my sources but the Morrigan sounds similar to the true descriptions of the Norse Valkyrie. They didn't just come to carry the fallen to Valhalla but in many cases caused the warrior to die by appearing at an inopportune time in an unexpected and usually frightening form. This video gave me chills. Too much Irish heritage I guess.
Your voice very good and really compliments the topic Morrigan. I learned that Morrigan Is not Morgan la fey who are often used interchangeably. I used to PLay Dragon Age origins. and Morrigan is one of the major characters her costume shows the same crows feathers as your pictures,
the reason why Irish pronounce things differently is because there's 20 different versions of Irish, and even though it's been standardized since the 30's, it's still not pronounced standard across the country,.
The silent letters thing is really a personal choice there are rules for it and some dialects will have slightly different rules but actually it's whether that dialect decided to fore-go the rule over time or not and usually the spelling will change to reflect it so that it remains consistent with the rest of the language. It is a extremely consistent language btw! You can choose to not pronounce the letter if it has a séimhú for example in Clo Gealach (Old Gaelic script) it displayed with a dot over the letter. In modern Irish Gaelic or "Standardised Irish" it's denoted by a 'h' after the effected letter. The letter 'h' doesn't exist in irish gaelic, not in any dialect and so it's only purpose when it's used in text is to denoted a séimhú on the letter it follows. An example of this is in the word séimhú itself the 'h' after the m cause the m to have a 'v' sound instead. In irish Gaelic script there word simply be a dot above the m and no h at all like so: séiṁú ! The séimhú allows a little more freedom with pronunciations for those specific letter because the original traditional sounds are quite hard to produce for some one that isn't a native speaker and even then some sounds are just lost completely... So if you choose to leave any letter with a séimhú silent then THIS is fine! Like The gaelic name Tadhg ... the d is silent but mostly cause of the séimhú ('h') but it still cause the a'a to have more of an 'eye' sound wwere as the 'g' doesn't have séimhú so its promounced fully! Barry Keoghan is a good example. The 'g' in Keoghan has a séimhú so it's pronounce like breathie noise from the back of the mouth (it's actually quite hard to do properly) sound or just left silent, up to you... but it is for sure NOT pronounced with a hard 'guh' sound. Barry in fact pronounces his own name incorrectly, and that's okay cause he is from Dublin so he is allowed to be wrong, it's not his fault! However the G in Morrígan does not have a seímhú and never did so it is in fact pronounced with a hard 'guh' sound always! You friends gave you 2 different answers cause they themselves are unsure. Most Irish people really know the language. in school we are taught a sort revived made up dialect that's nicknamed "book irish" or "school irish" but it's basically just a very simplified variant of the language to just try and get people to speak it again... But it seems to only make people hate it! Even fluent speakers will pronounce alot of words incorrectly unless they have a native speaker in their family to help break the bad habits! But basically their is a chance that both your friends could be wrong in what they told you but for sure; one of them certainly is! it's MORRíGan! hard G
Okay, the scales are tipping to more people saying to include the 'g'. But one source is an Irish Historian (who is from the Republic of Ireland) and said in early Irish, there were variations of pronunciations dependent on the region... and then there is this gentleman th-cam.com/video/5STX0oEIPi0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2SP-Mf_HIA0rmyjV
@MystOfMythology Well he could be right, but is their a alternate spelling included with it?! He could be roght maybe just doesnt know the alternative spelling for that pronoucniation, could be lost time to with so much else! But Morrígan as its spelled is hard G! Another example of what mean is goddess Brighde(bree-jeh) alternatively, Brighdhe(Briay) or Brigid(Bridge-ed) cause names like the words mutate depending on words before and after them and the context! So even thought here is an alternative pronounciation which there can be many for sure, there is usually a spelling to match it so it fits in with the rest of the language! It could be that the variant was spelled as Morríghan with a séimhú and in this case the 'g' would appear to be as silent!
Thank you! I’m going to dive it to this again. I’m sure someone in some of the circles I mix with will have a definitive explanation. I love that you’re so passionate about this and how much care you’ve put in to explain it. Thank you!
@@MystOfMythology Honestly it's a source pain and shame for myself. Growing up struggling in school and with fluent and native speakers in the family and struggling to learn it myself I grew up hating it! Once I left school I had a new look on it. Seeing how much of our culture and history so many of us have forgotten and worse don't even care, So many Irish people have forgotten that we in fact indigenous to Ireland, especially In Dublin! I myself am from north county Dublin so I've realised how important it is, at least for myself! So being relearning the language, it's etymology, the history and mythology ever since! And honestly I just thought you could benefit from me explaining the séimhú to you, as for the rest of the video and the lore... you were spot on! So yeah Great video! I am quite found of the Morrígan, Lady Death and her order of Crows so it was an instant click when seen the title and thumbnail!

The circle of life begins with spring and with the rising sun. Summer and daylight are the realm of life, things grow and bear fruit. In fall, life withers and dies and the long night comes when leaves and men return into the womb of our mother earth and sleep until they are reborn again. The belief in a mother goddess that controls the whole cycle of life and death came to Europe with the first farmers from Anatolia 6000 BC. She was later pushed aside by male-dominated indogermanic pantheons, but still lives on in stories and myths.
@MystOfMythology Morrigan, she acts like some men who are rejected, vindictive. As for Cú Chulainn, glad that he's in Record of Ragnarök (One of my favorite characters in mythology and anime)

The Morrigan is an interesting goddess. She can be considered a novel innovation of Irish mythology, but builds upon roles in earlier traditions.
Gonna give my own breakdown since I've studdied way to much mythology specifically around this topic.
One thing we have extensive evidence for archeologically, is a group of goddesses, or spirits, called the matres, or matronae, depending on their original form and how latins adapted them to writing. Their names mean, unsurprisingly, the Mothers or Matrons. They exist over a broad area of celtic land with different mothers given in different locations. There is considerable overlap with the River goddess tradition as well. Transitional Fairy myths give Banshee a bit more background, and make it clear they emerged from the same tradition as the Washer Women, and are the spirits of women important to the founding of septs, dynasties, families, clans, or tuatha. The roll seems to have been that of the founders wife, in life they would lead mourning traditions, and after thier deaths remain spectrally, watching over thier family as matrons. so, the Matrons, probably were these matrons in function. In sculpture they were often given in triplicate, or five-fold to represent the multitude of mothers.
Seperate to that we have the battle crows. Existing as far south as gauls southern regions, the battle crows seem to have been a less widely regarded set of spirits, but still fairly extensive. Existing in south gaul and belgian gaul as Cathubodua, and in ireland as Badb Catha (same root, different syntax order). Linguistically they share some similarities with proto-germanic gods, I've heard some say they were the precursors to valkyries, and others link them specifically to a Baduhenna.
Now the Morrigan appears to be a synchronization of these two roles into a single archetype. There were other mother-goddesses who would have fit as Matrons, Boan for example, but the Mother/Crow became its own archetype fitting the different Morrigans. Mor from Great, and Rigan from Queen, describes her holy office as founding Matron along side her husband Da Dagda.
Worth noting that the germanic version of Badb, Baduhenna, has a suffix, associated with matron goddesses in the germanic tradition, so, a portion of the broader Matrons in both areas may have already been associated with the battle-crows, or perhaps merely with battle. This would mean rather than being a novel innovation in heavenly office, it was a novel innovation in name, for an established tradition of either battle-matrons, or matron battle-crows.
These are great additions Evelyn! Thank you! 🙏
Thanks so much for taking the time to share that with us all! ☮
Excellent post!
I loved the history lesson and I loved that no digital horses were harmed in the making of the video loved that joke.
😬 Thanks John.
I won't lie. At first, I thought you had a guest for this video. 😅 I'm glad you shared your real voice. It sounds just as epic as the "old storyteller" voice from your other videos. 🩷👑
That's high praise princesskaylafaulkner! Thank you!
I thought the same 😂. . I like it both ways actually It doesn’t matter to me. ❤
Thanks for another great video and what a wonderful surprise hearing your voice! Can’t wait for more videos!! 💫
Thank you, tkeico! No doubt some will like it, and some won't, so thank you for saying so; it's very much appreciated. 🥰
Well done, being of Irish descent I enjoyed your video and your voice fits your subject matter. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate that Clint, thank you!
So glad you did this! Synchronicity. A friend was asking a lot of questions about her recently so I can share this with her. 😊
Wow! It was meant to be! Thanks Leigh ❤️
Buddy, you have a great voice for this. Give yourself some credit. Another banger!!!
I appreciate that! Thank you @MysteriousNocturnum!
@MystOfMythology bro, all you have to do, is do it all the time. Then you develop your own style and way of speaking when it comes to narration. You are most definitely on the right track.
If that’s your voice on your channel, it’s incredible.
@MystOfMythology yeah that's me. Thank you bro, I really appreciate that.
Thank you for making this video. I am learning about the Celtic warrior culture and tattoos
It was a pleasure! Thanks for watching and the comment 😊
Your real voice works well for me. Makes for a more organic presentation, somehow. Never heard of this character. Seems like Irish lore is much more vast than I ever knew or suspected. Very interesting. Thank you!
Thank you Margee 🙏 Irish lore (and so many others) are fascinating! I’ve only scratched the surface. What’s fascinating is how they have travelled: from the Nordic myths, to the British Celts, and even from there to the Caribbean gods of death. All from the same line of myths.
Well done for taking a HUGE step to being more connected with your viewers. You did brilliantly with the Ai voice, but I think this ads another level to the videos. 👏 Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you office-zombie! Really appreciate you saying that!
I really love your channel, and its great to hear your real voice. It feels a little more personal 😊 REALLY loving all the Celtic stuff!!
Thank you Ginger Kat! Oh I see you regularly commenting on the Celtic videos 😂 Don’t you worry. Lots more to come.
Morrigan was underrated. I still find it cool that she was used as inspiration in creating succubus Morrigan from Darkstalkers 😁
No way! What did her character do?
I loved playing Morrighan on Darkstalkers.
@@MystOfMythology she's a succubus on the fighting game Darkstalkers. Google her when you get the chance. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
One of my personal theories on why so much of the Irish Celtic lore was properly preserved, is that many of those early monks were also Ranking druids, and saw this as the best way to save their knowledge.
Interesting theory 🤔
Loved it! Thanks for sharing yourself with us. Hope it drives the algorithm in your favor! ☮
Thank you, my friend - It's not the voice but good people like you that drive the algorithm. 🙏
Love your videos. The narration is great. Would you ever consider posting the audio on spotify as a podcast? Theyd be great to listen to that way.

Once again, very well done! My wife and I love your videos and while I'm sure it was a lot more work, we both think you did a great job and have a good voice for voice over.
Brandon, thank you, and your wife, so much for saying so! It genuinely warms my heart to hear that you watch my videos as a couple! It was a lot more work, for sure, mostly figuring stuff out, but I'm sure that'll get easier over time. Once again, sincerely, thank you both.

Thank you, George! There are three more videos out now. I am still trying to find my "voice," so let me know what you think!

Morrigan had a crow,a carrion eater, basically a symbol of death. Yet,the Greek goddess of war, Athena had an owl,a symbol of wisdom. The fact that two mythological goddesses of war had birds makes me wonder if the myths were intermixed in the past. (Nice reading in your actual voice!)
Mike, Thank you! Yes, I've dipped my toe into reading about this, but the ability to fly was often associated with accessing other realms - so it's common to see deities with birds. Maybe a future video. 🤔
In ancient times there was a lot of bird (and animal) symbolism -Totemism- based on close observation of animals and birds in their natural environment.Owls are superb nocturnal hunters as they can See In The Dark and can rotate their heads.They're apparently not really that intelligent. Ravens -and crows-on the other hand are (very) and are also a war bird as they sometimes mob eagles and hawks to protect nests.Swans emigrate vast distances and mate for life (as many birds do) so a Swan Knight is Christian/monogamous rather than pagan.During the 1000s of EQs here in NZ a number of years ago I used to read the flight patterns and behaviour of seagulls to determine if more quakes were due.Birds and animals know stuff.
@@mikeburkhart8336 roman religion did mix with Celtic religion after Rome invaded Celtic lands to bring them into the roman empire.
War was not the predominant domain of Athena, the Greek god of War was Ares. Her association with war was strategy, "intelligent warfare", because her main domain was Wisdom and intelligence - therefor the Owl in that case has no connection to war and death. I don't think you can draw a direct connection here
Athena is the Goddess of Wisdom whereas Ares is the God of War. They were often broadly referred to as war gods but had very different reputations amongst the ancient Greeks. But Ares was specifically the God of War
Great video, very informative, thanks for sharing. Having never heard any of your other voices (?) I can only say that your voice is soothing, but still captures the interest of the listener, which I personally welcome. ❤
Thank you Pauline! I was previously using an Ai voice and this was first time I used my own voice.
Man, your voice is really good for these kinds of videos. Thanks for changing your mind. It's much more pleasant to listen now.
I celebrate hearing your true voice.
Thank you for this informative video.
Kind regards from Iceland

uriel578 - that is such an honour to hear that, thank you!
Dude, first time I listened to your channel ever to be honest, I just stumbled on this video and I absolutely love your voice. So kudos, You have a nice sounding voice bud! I certainly appreciate the content you put together as well. Will definitely follow and continue listening!
Wow, thank you!
Excellent video. Your voice is great. 17:08
Thank you very much Derek!
Fascinating! Thank you!
I'm new to your channel and have only watched a few videos but what you make is fascinating and personally I think your voice suits the videos better than the voiceover you've used on other videos 10:11 the disclaimer made me chuckle that was a nice touch
Thanks Simon! Your comment has come at a good time. While this video has done well, my other new videos with my voice haven't done so. If you do watch the others, let me know what you think.
Thanks again!
Hi! I'm new to your channel this being the first video of yours I've watched. Your voice is lovely, and needs to be heard! You have a rich, soothing quality to your voice, with a deeply anchored undertone that quietly weights what you say. Please don't hide that, it's beautiful.
Thank you Cindy! Kind of you to say so. Hope to see you in the next video!
She remind me of Verna in the Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix.
That’s an interesting comparison, because Verna was based on Edgar Allan Poe’s “Raven”. But I think Verna was a lot more sinister 😈
As a neo-pagan, ive come to believe that the Morrigan is 3 separate deities that fall under one title. Each being triplets that are all separate but equal or one. Perhaps the Morrigan being a title of plural representation rather than singular. But that is just me.
Oh! Yes. Absolutely love your voice ❤ very nicely done. I like you chose this one, to use your voice in. It made it more impactful..
Meaningful… insightful
Thank you so much Phecda!
i love your voice and the pronouncians you chose are similar to my irish teachers - they say bive for badhv.
Thank you 🙏
OK this video got me to drop a sub, mostly because you used your real voice for this one! love it!!
Yay 🥳 Thank you!
That was great. The story telling and using your own voice. Take care man.
Glad you enjoyed it Jack 😊
This is your first video, and when I clicked, I was hoping it wasn't an AI voice. So, to find out this is your first voiced video, I really enjoyed it.
Thank you! 🙏
The graphics are wonderful. The voice is good, also.
First, fantastic job narrating the video. You have a great voice for narration.
Second, three goddesses who gradually become merged into one happened elsewhere in mythology. Asherah, Astarte, and Anat were likewise merged.
Thanks @DragonsinGenesisPodcast!
I liked the versions said in this video explains more than many other videos I have watched on youtube about the Mórrígan also I liked the differences in pronunciations of the name . I have been sort of studying many things throughout my life including Witch craft and some of the people that call themselves witch speak of calling the Mórrígan and then talking like she or it is something else , reminds me of children when are making up stories playing fantasy
Hello 👋 thanks for all the videos you have been making i really enjoy mythology and ancient history so it means a lot having a great channel like this to always be entertained, and although the previous voice had the feel of a grandpa telling this grandkids story i like this mature professor voice you have a great voice and thanks once more for all the videos
My absolute pleasure @harunaahmed5884! Wow, I've never been referred to as having a mature professor voice, thank you.
Hi from Ireland. Great job. Thank you.
My Pleasure Michael, thank you!
I much prefer your real voice. Thank you for choosing to use it. My first time listening to you, I have already subscribed.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the other videos!
By all means, real voice! And thank you!
Thanks Bill!
Fantastic voice! Keep it!🎉🎉🎉
I appreciate many elements in this video -- from someone who apparently knows how to pronounce these infernal Irish names (some of which I do know, so I'm figuring you've got the rest of them correct, and that means a lot given the general slaughter out there by people that could care less about accuracy) to your referencing sources I hadn't heard of despite having tried to research this subject extensively. The only thing I could possibly wish for is if you had given a sort of bibliography of your references used in the creation of this work because wow was this useful.
I don't know what your real voice is being compared to because this is the only vid I have ever viewed but I cannot fathom what might be the matter? I am a longtime student of classical voice and your diction, timing and timber are all very listenable, and again, here you are with a video filled with names from one of the most difficult languages on the planet. I'm sure impressed!
I like both this video and your voice for it is far, far better than a computer voice.
Thank you AzMedic, I hope you enjoy the latest videos with my voice as well 🙏
You should do more Irish mythology. No one covers it and it's brilliant.
Thank you Amanda! A few done already, like the Banshee, but definitely more to come.
First time listening to your channel. Your voice sounds reasonable and intelligent to an American listener
I am always civil, or at least I make an attempt to be civil. I really enjoyed your presentation. Thanks and keep talking. Our voices are important to us.
Thank you Betty 🙏
Love to now the sauce of the art work. Great illustrations. Hats off to the originator.
Thank you Paul.
Cool how similar she is to the three dates in Greek mythology too
It's always interesting learning about myths and thinking about reinterpretations from later material. Dragon Age comes to mind. Flemeth houses the elven soul of Mythal, goddess of motherhood and justice, which is also the flip side of vengeance. That last aspect could be a reinterpretation of Morrigan's war aspect. Flemeth often influences events behind the scenes, hence fate aspect. She also "reincarnates" by taking over her daughter's bodies once the current one grows too old, and of course houses Mythal's original soul, which could be interpreted as the multiple original goddesses merging into one. The last reinterpretation that comes to mind is from Ancient Magus Bride. There is a goddess of spring/winter. Spring starts off as a young girl that eventually grows into a young woman that represents winter. Said winter goddess becomes pregnant with the "next" spring goddess. At one point Chise makes a deal with the winter goddess and invokes her old name Morrigan, which causes her to use her full power as a goddess of war.
PS - I definitely recommend watching/reading Ancient Magus Bride. I'm always amazed how good Kore Yamazaki's research ability and creativity with reinterpreting said research.
First video of yours I have watched. Solid
Ah, thanks Nicky.
Love the video and the real voice, your accent makes the content easily digestible to my American ears🫶🏽
Thank you so much KristenaLayne! 🙏

Thank was brilliant 👏 👌
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this video 😊
My pleasure Madi 😊
Yes, she is real. VERY real. She only fights for those on the side of the uncorrupt white light. NEVER call on her, she serves at no one's request and will harshly confront you if you dare call upon her. Her appearance does change depending on the task at hand, from seemingly harmless to an absolute brutal terror in battle.
I know because I've been involved in several battles in the energetic realms, and she has been there at many of them. And, once again, DO NOT call on her, if she feels that she needs to get involved, she will. Despite her fierce appearance and brutal presence on the battlefield, if you honor and respect her, and you serve the white light, she will not interfere with you.
If you attack someone under her protection, your life will end very quickly and brutally, and she will literally collect your head.
Your true voice is actually fantastic. Great vid. I'm something of a Morrigan "fan", have engaged in many years of research, and IMO, totally love the Morgan LeFay angle...the association between the 2 if oft repeated, and I cannot disagree You know, if you run in those kinds of circles. Thank you for this. :) :0-
Thank you so much violetlefey 🙏
Thank you Irish Cross ❤ 12:12
Wow I loved you used your voice for this, it feels so much more intimate and engaging, I love this channel even more now, is it possible to have a crush on a voice 😂❤
Well, I am very flattered, Bianca. My latest video is nearly an hour long, so I hope you enjoy that also 😂
@MystOfMythology and I did I usually watch as soon as you post just been little busy preparing Yule planning etc, for the 21st of December but now I'm good keep up the great work your videos are great
@@MystOfMythology Maybe a face reveal in the future 🤔 👀 😉
Happy Yule prepping!
@MystOfMythology thanks, if I can make a suggestion maybe make a video about the Norse wild hunt. 🙂
This where the Dragon Age creators got the idea for their Morrigan? Definitely sounds like it. The character can shape change into a crow and her dress is definitely inspired by it. Best video game muse ever
Sure is Rob.
Great video thank you .
A pleasure and thank you Arthur.
Hey, well done, really enjoyed that! My surname is Merrigan and yes we have a beautiful female Mastweiller called Macha. The Irish pronunciation is a little off but solid job on the graphics and very well narrated. Incidentally, Merrigan is unrelated, its an anglicised version of the original O'Muireagain, the name was also anglicised to Murrigan, Murricane and Morgan.
Thanks for the info!
Lovely story tellin💚🤍🧡
Thanks Sharon!
The etymology of Macha is safe pasturage, or grazing land. lending to an association of protection in my opinion. Would also be associated with safe boundaries, or boundaries in general.
This perhaps reinforces the concept that The Morrigan is a direct representation of the land. 🤔
My personal thought is that The Morrigan Sisters represent Heaven, Earth, Man, and everything in between in Irish Lore; Morgan Le Fey represents the same things, but she is Arthur's half-sister. Her character shifts between good and 'evil' along with the machinations of Merlin. The Arthurian Story serves as an Arch-type of Jesus and the twelve disciples or followers, with Merlin, Guenevere and Morgan Le Fey serving as types of Holy Spirit, Mariah of Magdala and Judas Iscariot or Good and Evil all rolled into one.
2:53 which always rhymes with fun 😂
😂
Love your voice either way
I prefer your real voice 110%.
Appreciate it Dean. Thank you 🙏
Good video, very interesting! You have a pleasant voice and good pronunciation and diction. I encourage you to continue to use your voice in your videos.
Thank you F Pena! 🙏
One hundred thousand times better in your own voice. I’m no longer inclined to question the factual integrity due to the fake (AI) nature of the old dubbing. Stick to it! Brilliant video!
Wow, thank you doctorfuzzzdirtbox!
Mellifluous voice over.
Thank you, Richard.
Thank you, Richard.
Old Irish predates Saxon, Anglo-Saxon and Latin dialects, it's far more probable due to the frequent trade between Ireland, and the other nations that it became a loan word, or even more probable is that all the comparative words were rooted in one of the precursor proto-languages that comprised the various Celtic dialects of central Europe.
U have a lovely voice mr keep using it 😇
Thank you Haylie 🙏
I can't list my sources but the Morrigan sounds similar to the true descriptions of the Norse Valkyrie. They didn't just come to carry the fallen to Valhalla but in many cases caused the warrior to die by appearing at an inopportune time in an unexpected and usually frightening form. This video gave me chills. Too much Irish heritage I guess.
Would this help? 🫢
th-cam.com/video/MUMMZHDw2A0/w-d-xo.html
*I see a Raven..I click!*
Your voice very good and really compliments the topic Morrigan. I learned that Morrigan Is not Morgan la fey who are often used interchangeably. I used to PLay Dragon Age origins. and Morrigan is one of the major characters her costume shows the same crows feathers as your pictures,
I’m studying Old and Medieval Irish and yes the grammar is a battle I fight daily lol
😂 You and me both.
The 3 Ladies (sisters) of the water, one of the sea, one of the river and one for the lake
the reason why Irish pronounce things differently is because there's 20 different versions of Irish, and even though it's been standardized since the 30's, it's still not pronounced standard across the country,.
Great video great voice lol
Thanks @standupenfight2815!
The silent letters thing is really a personal choice there are rules for it and some dialects will have slightly different rules but actually it's whether that dialect decided to fore-go the rule over time or not and usually the spelling will change to reflect it so that it remains consistent with the rest of the language. It is a extremely consistent language btw! You can choose to not pronounce the letter if it has a séimhú for example in Clo Gealach (Old Gaelic script) it displayed with a dot over the letter. In modern Irish Gaelic or "Standardised Irish" it's denoted by a 'h' after the effected letter. The letter 'h' doesn't exist in irish gaelic, not in any dialect and so it's only purpose when it's used in text is to denoted a séimhú on the letter it follows. An example of this is in the word séimhú itself the 'h' after the m cause the m to have a 'v' sound instead. In irish Gaelic script there word simply be a dot above the m and no h at all like so: séiṁú ! The séimhú allows a little more freedom with pronunciations for those specific letter because the original traditional sounds are quite hard to produce for some one that isn't a native speaker and even then some sounds are just lost completely... So if you choose to leave any letter with a séimhú silent then THIS is fine! Like The gaelic name Tadhg ... the d is silent but mostly cause of the séimhú ('h') but it still cause the a'a to have more of an 'eye' sound wwere as the 'g' doesn't have séimhú so its promounced fully! Barry Keoghan is a good example. The 'g' in Keoghan has a séimhú so it's pronounce like breathie noise from the back of the mouth (it's actually quite hard to do properly) sound or just left silent, up to you... but it is for sure NOT pronounced with a hard 'guh' sound. Barry in fact pronounces his own name incorrectly, and that's okay cause he is from Dublin so he is allowed to be wrong, it's not his fault! However the G in Morrígan does not have a seímhú and never did so it is in fact pronounced with a hard 'guh' sound always!
You friends gave you 2 different answers cause they themselves are unsure. Most Irish people really know the language. in school we are taught a sort revived made up dialect that's nicknamed "book irish" or "school irish" but it's basically just a very simplified variant of the language to just try and get people to speak it again... But it seems to only make people hate it! Even fluent speakers will pronounce alot of words incorrectly unless they have a native speaker in their family to help break the bad habits!
But basically their is a chance that both your friends could be wrong in what they told you but for sure; one of them certainly is! it's MORRíGan! hard G
That aside.... GREAT video! Love it!
Okay, the scales are tipping to more people saying to include the 'g'. But one source is an Irish Historian (who is from the Republic of Ireland) and said in early Irish, there were variations of pronunciations dependent on the region... and then there is this gentleman th-cam.com/video/5STX0oEIPi0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2SP-Mf_HIA0rmyjV
@MystOfMythology Well he could be right, but is their a alternate spelling included with it?! He could be roght maybe just doesnt know the alternative spelling for that pronoucniation, could be lost time to with so much else! But Morrígan as its spelled is hard G! Another example of what mean is goddess Brighde(bree-jeh) alternatively, Brighdhe(Briay) or Brigid(Bridge-ed) cause names like the words mutate depending on words before and after them and the context! So even thought here is an alternative pronounciation which there can be many for sure, there is usually a spelling to match it so it fits in with the rest of the language! It could be that the variant was spelled as Morríghan with a séimhú and in this case the 'g' would appear to be as silent!
Thank you! I’m going to dive it to this again. I’m sure someone in some of the circles I mix with will have a definitive explanation.
I love that you’re so passionate about this and how much care you’ve put in to explain it. Thank you!
@@MystOfMythology Honestly it's a source pain and shame for myself. Growing up struggling in school and with fluent and native speakers in the family and struggling to learn it myself I grew up hating it! Once I left school I had a new look on it. Seeing how much of our culture and history so many of us have forgotten and worse don't even care, So many Irish people have forgotten that we in fact indigenous to Ireland, especially In Dublin! I myself am from north county Dublin so I've realised how important it is, at least for myself! So being relearning the language, it's etymology, the history and mythology ever since!
And honestly I just thought you could benefit from me explaining the séimhú to you, as for the rest of the video and the lore... you were spot on! So yeah Great video! I am quite found of the Morrígan, Lady Death and her order of Crows so it was an instant click when seen the title and thumbnail!
Your real voice is good! And this is coming from someone who gets annoyed easily by a LOT of TH-camrs voices.
Also, I was watching this and thought "huh my mom kind of looks like the depictions of the Morrigan" and then you showed how she can be represented as 3 goddesses and it looked like me and my 2 sisters 💀🐦⬛

Didnt know there was a debate really. I figured arthurian morgana was one of those "Plaster over the pagans" kind of things. So instead of talking about morrigan they spoke about morgana
The circle of life begins with spring and with the rising sun. Summer and daylight are the realm of life, things grow and bear fruit. In fall, life withers and dies and the long night comes when leaves and men return into the womb of our mother earth and sleep until they are reborn again.
The belief in a mother goddess that controls the whole cycle of life and death came to Europe with the first farmers from Anatolia 6000 BC. She was later pushed aside by male-dominated indogermanic pantheons, but still lives on in stories and myths.
