Bravo! Super video! I loved every bit. I`m so excited for the upcoming videos. Mind - boggling. Truly fascinating. 🥰😍❤❣❤❣
Yes! I love these, I'm so glad this came up this morning. The two of you are a delight together. Just sayin. 😉💕
The book you mention here about chronicling the evolution of the gods through hunter/gatherer, to agriculture and warfare. I cannot wait for that; it's SUCH an important reason why certain gods become prominent in different eras. I regret that there are not many resources exist for pre-ag gods and traditions.
Much rather be in my 60's than the alternative!
So many interesting directions in this convo!
I think (far more importantly than the gods) the current world needs to honor the planet and other forms of life beyond the self. We need to honor nature and each other above all else if we want to survive and thrive and restore balance.
It was still so light and beautiful at 9pm last night. Crazy to think we're almost to the peak of the year and the transition to the dark days are about to begin soon.
Bede tells us that the Anglo-Saxons had two months for Liþa (Litha) like they did for Yule, which attests to the importance of this time of year and that it was roughly as important to them as Yule. Fascinating stuff. Likely the same for their Norse cousins. Hail Wōden, Ēostre and all of the ēse!
As a Swede who grew up in the north, the midnight sun in summer and near-constant darkness in midwinter is normal. The thought that you can sit, nearer the equator, in summer heat, and it's pitch black in early evening - is bizarre to me. Or somewhere snowy in central US, for example, if you have lots of daylight in December while it's snowy outside - absolutely bizarre to me.
Love connecting to it all myself, I am mostly Galician American and love the celtic cuture that remains and has been revitalized there.
I was so interested to read how 'Easter' is a unique name connected to the Spring goddess Eostrada. This was recorded by Bede and statues and place names have been found. It's very interesting that early Christianity just adopted the popular cultural practices of the pagans. It is nice that these could live on to the present day!
I started to learn more about Celtic mythology
When you guys talk about people exploring their ancestry and traveling. I am from western Canada and I find descendants of immigrants are lost. Our ancestors left their homes and came here often leaving many traditions behind and not establishing connections with their new home. So their descendants have no connections with our ancestry past or little deep connection with the lands of our current homes. Some go deep exploring th ancestry piece and trying to connect with our ancient homelands like Scotland, England, Ireland etc but little out enough work connecting with the land of the land here. With the history of the abuses of the first nations perhaps there's some feelings we don't have the right to but I think it's still important. We need to build relationships with the land we live, and explore our ancestral roots equally to create a spiritually strong whole.
Love your energy together. Enjoying these podcast episodes 💪🏻
I would be so thrilled to see a book like the golden bough or Dumezil on the nature religions but without their bias toward monotheism as the superior evolution in thought. ❤
im my area of Appalachia , Celtic and bluegrass genres nicely blend I can see how they relate.~
Greetings Jacob I love your content and have a request weather you do a video or a message to me on the best source books on shamanic practices
