When I saw the title I thought it's going to be about an Irish girl with that name (not a simple love song of course). Yesterday I heard the song without the lyric video and realized that it's about forced christianization of the Celtic tribes. Another viewer wrote me that Saoirse is also a Greek anagram ("ise iroas") for something like "you're a hero".
@@herbertwest9626 Saoirse means freedom in Irish and it is a female given name among the Irish. Regarding the idea of forced Christianization in Ireland, this is most likely a myth. We do not have any evidence of how exactly Ireland was converted over time to Christianity, but in the absence of an external factor that might've forced them to convert, most likely they converted willingly, and over time to Christianity. Tradition has it that Saint Patrick, which is the patron saint of Ireland, converted the ruling dynasty of Ireland that provided the High Kingship during the 5th century to Christianity and subsequently, these kings would then spread it among their subjects. Because Ireland for much of its existence was a collection of petty kingdoms, with the High King only having nominal authority outside of its dynasty's territory, the process of conversion to Christianity was long, with pagan pockets remaining there even after the Viking Age.
@@Kalimdor199Menegroth Thanks a lot for the information. I know that Saoirse is a female Irish name and that it means freedom. It's the name of my niece 😊. About the christianization: I don't think it's a myth. It's possible that some Celts converted voluntarily. Probably they didn't have another option. But it's also a historical fact that the different Celtic tribes were forced to accept Christianity as their new religion. I am not so sure about the king, but the druids were holding fast on to their beliefs and traditions and the only way to compel them was to use force. Which means do or die. The people were very loyal to their spiritual leaders, their authority was never questioned. Now there's a lot of theories, of course, how the conversion really happened, not just in Ireland, but for example in Scandinavia, where the Vikings were forced to converse and a lot of them resisted and were killed. We have history books that tell about those times. I think what happened is that some people accepted the new faith willingly (or half willingly), while others were ready to fight for their ancient beliefs and eventually died for them. And I think this is what this song is about.
The epic last stand of the Irish pagans. Thank you RC for bringing this tragic, but brave story to life! Long live Paganism in its various forms around the world
INFO: The intro lyrics are part of the "Song of Amergin" and its origins remain mysteries for the ages. This ancient poem, is the oldest extant poem to originate from Ireland and was written by an unknown poet at an uncertain location about 1268 Pro Xristou (BC). POEM: I am the wind on the sea, I am a wave of the ocean, I am the roar of the wave, I am an ox of seven exiles, I am a hawk on a cliffe, I am a tear of the sun, I am a turning in a maze, I am a boar in valour, I am a salmon in a pool, I am a lake on a plain, I am a dispensing power, I am a grass-blade in the earth Subject to decay, I am a creative, weaving god Who counsels the head. Who else clears the stones of a mountain? Who is it who declaims the sun’s rising? Who is better to tell where the sun sets? Who brings cattle from the house of Tethra? Upon whom do th cattle of Tethra smile? Who is the ox? Who is the weaving god who mends the thatch of wounds? The incantation of a spear - the incantation of the wind! SAOIRSE HAIL FREEDOM🤘🔥

I'm sharing this to my RUclips channel. I am a proud Pagan, witch, and Ceremonial Magician. I believe in the Old Goddesses and Gods. I love your music, and this song means so much to me. Thank you!
This is so cool . A song about one of my favorite Emperors . Julian the Apostate . He wanted to restore the old religion of the Roman Empire . His downfall , was that he didn't have a clear objective or strategy , when dealing with the Sassanids. That's what got him killed .
