A light when on in my head when Dr. Butler said that the Sidhe realm and the mundane world are coterminal and coexistent. Suddenly puzzling traditions make sense; like women not sewing during Samhain in case one of the Sidhe was pricked and doors being left open so none would be trapped in a house.
Take notice of old traditional architecture for homes. A lot of the designs have a direct path from the front door to the back door. There's a common belief that this design was specifically to help avoid Sidhe from getting lost in a house and getting stuck - thereby causing endless mischief. If they did enter through one door, it was a direct path to the other door and could get out quickly with minimal damage along the way 😅
Fantastic subject. I have always have interest in supernatural beings. Not only the Sidhe, the Fae, Baobhan Sith, but also the Djinn, the Apsara, Yakshini, the Yokai succubi, nymphs, incubi, satyrs, elves, Great post as always. Blessed be.
I had totally forgotten about the Puca in "Darby O'Gill" 😂 I definitely recommend the movie "Harvey" with Jimmy Stewart. I think it's a delightfully mischievous representation of Puca / Pooka, and the movie itself is top notch. If you like "Darby O'Gill" you'll love "Harvey." I once saw a horror movie that was about Puca, but to me it felt like a twist off a poltergeist, not true to Puca mythos. Thank you so much for this episode! Definitely very thought provoking with new and interesting perspectives.
Dr Angela, I found out about your work from your previous interview of Dr. Butler, who I thought was essentially unique in her study. From there I started to see there are many serious scholars taking a fresh look at the legacy and current culture of the pagan world and ideology. I look forward to the continuing maturation of critical thought in this field. Thanks again.
@@drangelapuca Well, I have had an interest in "our field" since the mid 1970's, lol. I just don't remember a time when the leading voices involved were doing better work.
In the 1950 film with James Stuart ( Elwood P. Down) a former Wall Street Broker turned happy go lucky drunk returns to his home town in a screw ball comedy called "Harvey" Harvey is his mystical friend who later reveals himself to be a Puca in the form of a 6 foot rabbit and is his drinking buddy. The story revolves around their friendship and how upsetting it is to his two spinster sisters. Your local library probably has it if you need a good laugh sometime. Great presentation I learned a lot tonight
Wonderful movie! but I would've described it differently. They show that Elwood has more than the occasional drink, but he doesn't exactly exhibit the behavior of a drunk, even a happy -go-lucky one :) But it was definitely my first thought of Puca in the media.
Many legends of the fae here in Cape Breton; both Irish and Scots traditions. The Mik Mak as well have legends of the little people (overhead an elder talking about them as well as forest 'giants') on an ecumenical outing to the 'faerie hole'; a cave in the north (that is sacred to he Mik Mak).
I love Dr. Jenny, she's the most knowledgeable lady I've come across, a joy to listen to, she does great courses at University College Cork, thanks Angela, great channel and great interview 💕
Poetry and literature on the fae often have historical references needed, interpretations between the "proto fae" and "modern fae" differ. This is epic. All ancient languages have that beautiful layered meaning relative to how things were once communally experienced.
8:50 cue Bauhaus... The tame, diminutive, winged female representation of faeries predates Disney by several decades. The image had gained considerable traction in the Victorian Era; several were featured in the edition of Thomas Keightly's *The Fairy Mythology* on which I cut my teeth in the early 'eighties.
Yes, it does but what I was referring to here was the Disneyfication of the (Victorian story) of Peter Pan and the cultural force of this... it's what many people would associate in imagery when they hear the word "fairy".
You have good instincts. J.W. Barrie was inspired to write Peter Pan because of the death of a brother at a young age. The family chose to think of the dead child as forever a boy.
@@drangelapuca hi Angela can you do a topic on panentheism and discuss what religions maybe panentheistic that are mistaken to be monotheistic or even polytheistic. And that these religions actually “teach panentheism”. The ones I can think of are primarily Hinduism and Sikhism
I like Jenny, I follow her channel too. The talk was great. However, that was Teresa, who asked the question, it's just under my name. I'll make sure she sees this, she'll love it. 😁
Both of you beautiful ladies was very helpful . I believe that these mystical creatures exist at one point in time and I believe our perception maybe different then the people that seen these creatures the Bible even talks about these creatures
Like the Septagram Doc Puca, I have one quite similar while a bit smaller. I had commissioned a Silversmith in Norfolk VA in 1992. It looks like yours has a stylized skull like mine as well.
Very interesting discussion thank you and dr butler , these conversations and seeing you both doing well in this field reall has me thinking of trying to go about studying these subjects myself is there any online resources or courses that are available from legit universities/colleges
Thankyou for this Angela. Have you any thoughts on the 'high strangeness' that pervades the world and our reality now with sightings of ufos, dogman, mothman, sentient orbs and increasing paranormal activity especially during the last 17 months of lockdowns?
There seems to be some separation between the mythology covered here, seemingly of the general populace and the Druids. Is there some sense of a high religion, of the upper classes and a lower or common religion, as claimed by some. Is it plausible that the later Druidic are of More Celtic influence and the earlier mythology more influenced by pre Celtic influences?
@@drangelapuca Great! I would also be interested in knowing the weight of such bloodlines on the youngest generations- especially in terms of curses passed down the lineage. Hope that made sense.
They do exist ,as entity's ,on my mother's side of the family we have met them going back a century or more in folk tales of the family, as have my mother and myself ,there are other worlds other realities ,dimensions call them what you will ,sometimes ,some humans for some reason,can see them ,and have encounters with them,the banshee also I have heard,there are so many creatures that interplay with this world,some good some evil and some like us humans gradients of both ,let he who has eyes to see, see ,let he who has ears to hear listen,it's easy to laugh or scorn,until it happens to you,be it by day or nite ,In any place,any setting,what will be ,will be and there's no point in fretting whatever happens,just try to be a good person in this world,and hope for the best in others,believe in righteousness,love and all the good aspects of the human thought,and may all the evil creatures of this world and others run in fear of you.Amen.
If fairies are in relam of dead ,maby changelings are babies that are deceased and existing with their mother that is faery that means deceased too ,and than faery mother swaps her baby so her baby can live ,faerie land maby it is paradise but one it's there living in age of it vas the day of death it will never grow up it will remane baby in paradise.
Hello mam.... I have a doubt which may not be related to this video but I'll be highly grateful if you help me find the answer to my question which is If a person make a soul deal with the crossroads demon then when the soul comes due and it will be taken to hell by hellhounds so will that human soul turn in to a demon after enduring torture in hell ?? I saw this in the show supernatural and really wanted to know whether this is possible jn this dimension and if this is possible then where can I study about this.... I mean the sources..... Please mam... I really need answer to this question please please it's my earnest request.
I don't think anyone can "give" you an answer to this question. I'd start by asking yourself what you mean by "demon", "soul", "hell", etc. Then research in whatever ways are possible, the ideas others have had on these terms. You may never get an answer to this question, but you'll find answers to many unasked ones and an infinite number of other mysteries as well. Dig in and see what is there. Best of luck.
i had a dream of a banchee girl give me a sword of black flame in my dream liek to protect me she said we are siters and i am a guy not femlae what does this mean it felt so real .
@@drangelapuca Your reply is correct, .. but at 2am when I first started to watch this video. I left my comment as I begin to watch this video. My original comment was going to be .. " Two women start to talk about fairies and break out laughing like pre teen girls, typically to be expected." After nearly a dozen attempts of typos I gave up on trying to type that out. My sister being three years younger than me would .. play .. summon fairies for tea parties and break out in laughter for a good part of a hour with her imaginary friends, and the dog chasing after night shadows. And everyone could hear a few birds in her bed room at night when the lights were off, but when you turn the lights on, no birds any where. When I turn fifth teen and first started studying Wicca, my sister was twelve and her friends between the ages of eight to third teen spent a week writing up a .. spell scroll .. to summon fairies to a circle for a tea party with honey & jam with home made biscuits.

My mom's second husband comment on what was happening was, .. " Looks like she wasn't play summoning fairies for the past seven years after all !" Since my mom is a bipolar narcissist, she was B*tch Jealous ! Her mother was Scot/Turkish and in grade school during the Great Depression living on a USA Pennsylvania farm.

My mom always fought against her anger and animal nature leaving her bitter in life. I embrace mine to find a bit of inner peace. My grandmom separated herself from nature and fairy folk the last ten years of her life, leaving a bit bitter and empty. Once you start to play with magik & fairies and stop there is a price to be paid. If you lose your laughter, you lose contact with the young house garden fairies and that leaves your life emptier.

Is it plausible that the later Druidic are of More Celtic influence and the earlier mythology more influenced by pre Celtic influences?

@@drangelapuca Great! I would also be interested in knowing the weight of such bloodlines on the youngest generations- especially in terms of curses passed down the lineage. Hope that made sense.
In some occult traditions, to be able to cast magic as a witch, you must have a Fae, angel, or demon as a fore parent.
