Stop living in the past the english haven't done anything in recent times, but being a child of the troubles in recent times I could tell you a few horror stories of my childhood and it had nothing to do with the English, for people that say they love Ireland and the north, it was hard to tell that when the heart and soul was bombed out of it and people including children where killed and what for? But we'll not talk about that, that doesn't matter!
The famine was a 100% deliberate genocide of the indigenous Gaelic people/Irish Catholics by the English. The English first stole the land. They then rented the land they stole. They chose not to provide any food. They shipped food out under armed guard while 1 million innocent people starved on their own country. So much healing to be done ❤❤❤ P.S. My ancestors are Irish/Gaelic, but also Scots and English. PPS the starving was so bad countries across the world donated inclding Turkey and the indigenous American Choctaw and indigenous Canadian groups. The English finally provided a bit of support only after huge international pressure.
These are only my opinions. American Catholic. My father had strong Irish pride. We don't teach enough about history. World leader are doing the same things today. Just slowly. The Irish have been through a lot. Watching the women explain her experience learning Irish. Is it not okay to say the English wanted to get rid of Irish language. Children were spanked for speaking it
America killed 1/4 of the Cherokee in the 1840s, it was a more brutal time. The British government didn't spend money on anything except the Royal Navy. It was an oligarchy where very few had the vote, the rich did not want to spend money least of all on welfare which was why they brought in the workhouses in Britain. The North and East of Ireland did not rely on the potato crop, these were cereal growing areas and Dublin was the second city of empire deeply interconnected with trade. These were the areas which were still producing plenty of food, and indeed exporting it. There was also private charity, e.g. Queen Victoria gave £2000, worth almost £200,000 now, & lent her name to a charity to help in its fundraising. Nobody did as much as Lionel Rothschild of the banking family. Immediately news of the famine became apparent he set up a charity, the British Relief Association, that raised over £500,000, equivalent to over 50 million pounds today. At times they were feeding 200,000 children daily. The British government for its part fed 3 million daily with soup kitchens, for a while anyway.

Great video lads, I've never watched you before but I'll watch you again. Anglo-Celtic Isles is a good phrase which I will use. One minor point - Irish lessons are available in every school in the Republic of Ireland because it's a mandatory subject.

Ireland have a lot of spirituality from the past. A beautyfull country. Greetings from Elsloo in the Netherlands. Were the anciënt people of the bandkeramiek lived a long time ago.
My Great grandparents came from Ireland during the potato famine. My Great Grandmother passed away giving birth. She bled to death and my grandpa got his first grey hair when he was 5 years old.

I think it went well well well beyond being discriminated against by the English on That end I’m so proud to be from Ireland there is no love I feel in the world as I do for my country culture and people ❤
You cant understand how utterly discouraging and upsetting it is for these "documentarians" to keep leaving out the North in these damn maps. I was born and raised in the North, speaking Irish, playing Irish music, and learning about my CENTURIES of Irish heritage. If there's anyone for whom Irish language is necessary to keep a connection to that heritage, its the Irish in the North, a group you have thoroughly disrespected.
I'm Finnish and this is pretty shocking to see people being ashamed of their own language. We have few languages besides finnish finnish, such as the sámi languages and a hidden gem by the name of "rauma giäl". It's debated whether giäl is a language of its own or just another of the finnish dialects. Personally I find that rauma giäl should be recognized as a language, and effort should be put to preserve it. I hope you see this comment and maybe look up rauma giäl, maybe visit rauma yourself :)
And don't forget the regional dialects across Ireland, of course. The language is as regionally varied as the styles of playing fiddle all over the country... :)
I'm moving back south of the border lads. I've had enough of all this fake life. Going out to the hills and clean air. Learning to speak the language ( properly this time) and I'm gonna own every part of the mythology and mystery that people find " embarrassing" What could be more embarrassing than believing in artificial intelligence? Literally. This fish, has shook the hook! ∆
Loving this series Jacob!❤ It's so awesome to me to learn more about Irish culture. I have Irish roots and second sight, and I really appreciate your work! 🙏
Great video. It was very strange that the Irish teacher taught you how to pronounce the words in English, rather than in Irish. She even mentioned that Brigid was more like "breej" in Irish. Banba should be pronounced more like "banva" and and Fodla is more like "Fow-la".
Yeah, I noticed that too... It's a shame. I'm a beginning Irish student, and the more I try to learn, the more I realise that the majority of online resources out there for learning are made by non-native speakers who haven't a clue how to pronounce the language properly (an obvious example being the ignoring of slender R). It's really frustrating. :(
@@rambleswolf I personally moved over to Scottish Gaelic to help with pronunciation, as the sounds are usually taught much more clearly and there are less non native resources. I'm now slowly moving back to Irish, and the first thing people mention is always how much my pronunciation sounds like "old people" or "country people". Grammar and vocab still have a long way to go though haha
The pronunciation is different depending on the dialect....so it can be pronounced both those ways. There are so many layers to Irish, she didnt want to overwhelm
@@brid5415 As the words she mentioned came out of classical Irish, not the modern dialects, I thought there was a consensus on pronunciation. Can you explain what dialect she was using?
Very interesting. I never felt ashamed or ambarrased about speaking Irish, it's just that it's not taught very well here, in my experience, anyway, & that a lot of kids felt we would never use it growing up. 5 or 6 times a week in a classrom is not enough.
Interesting that he said “for acknowledgement of the natural world” - a very modernistic and materialistic mode line of thought. The ancients would have not divorced the spiritual from the material world. In fact a hallmark of the ancient celts and early Christian celts was to see the material and the spiritual world’s as interwoven and touching. They believed in thin places where the door between the physical and spiritual world was thin. I believe Timothy Joyce described both the pre-Christian and early Christian celts as walking with one foot in a physical reality and the other foot in a state of spiritual consciousness (something like that, it’s been a minute since I read his book ‘Celtic Christianity’).
It is well known and documented that the Romans were observing the various celtic peoples as nature worshippers. The Celts didnt build structures like new grange, Stonehenge, or Kilmartin Scotland. They used natural spaces (water ways and groves) to connect to the otherworld. While they looked at places like new grange in reverence it was not because they built it, they saw it as divinely built. Nature was not their only outlet but it definitely not a "modernist" look at celtic paganism.
Thank you Jacob. My ancestors were known as the Scots-Irish, also known as the Ulster Scots, because they were from Scotland but had been displaced by the British and the Irish graciously gave them a large area on the East Coast of Ireland south of Northern Ireland. No doubt there’s also some pure Irish ancestry in the genetic mix, as well.
That's not correct at all. I dunno where you got that from... The Ulster Scots weren't displaced by the "British", they were literally just regular Lowland Scottish folk (Scots is a Germanic language, a sister to English; not to be confused with Scottish Gaelic). They weren't gifted any land - they stole it. ALL of the British nations colonised Ireland: the English, the Scottish and (to a lesser extent) the Welsh. None of them were fleeing their homeland (unless they were Catholics). That doesn't make being a modern British or Ulster Scots person bad or shameful. Just please don't spread fake history.
Lots of tears as I watched this and I'm not 100% sure why. It was a beautiful video but the tears are more significant of something else. I have been told I'm part Irish and wonder if this is why? I feel a calling....
Another great video, they keep getting better. The land is so beautiful. It's a shame that there aren't more, overtly pagan places preserved, but that just makes the few more precious.
I’m sorry to tell you that it would make more sense now to learn Arabic. Irelands been sold out. If it’s the Irish people that make Ireland, well considering the Irish will be a minority by 2050 where does that leave us.
Do you know the difference between Ulster Scots {Scots Irish} immigration and Irish immigration and the impact on the US ? I don't think so. All those famous faces you showed of Irish descent , many if not most are descended from Scottish and English protestants from Northern Ireland.
@@TheWisdomOfOdin I am from NZ but as part of my genealogy research found that my people were mostly from the indigenous etho-religeous group known as the Gaelic people that is the Irish Catholic. Some of my ancestors were rebels are married the Scots settlers in Northern Ireland. Ireland really suffered under colonisation and so many of our Irish Catholic ancestors had to migrate (mine to NZ). I'm so proud that the Irish language survived. I'm also glad that so much paganism survived, often hidden in Catholism ❤❤❤
Ireland is the country of my dreams! I tell myself that someday I will definitely touch this land and these stones, which carry the energy of freedom and magic and such great power of the people, so I really enjoyed watching your video! Thank you for this journey 😊 May Gods guide and protect you on your path 🙏🍀
Unfortunately, we didn't work hard enough to bring back the Irish language, unlike Israel and Hebrew ! If I were to be honest, there's probably more everyday speakers of Polish, Ukrainian etc than Irish. If reversal is not done now, it's curtains for the language..
Unfortunately there is little point in teaching a foreign classroom version of Gaelic, in counties it did not originally originate from. Ulster for example spoke Eastern Ulster Gaelic in the Eastern counties and Western Ulster Gaelic in the Western, but these dialects are not taught in either. What is currently taught is only a little better than teaching English, as it is not only classroom Gaelic, but also a foreign dialect, not culturally correct? Eastern Ulster Gaelic has died out unfortunately, but efforts should be made for it to be reintroduced back into Northern Ireland, as it was native to Ulster, the West of Scotland and the Isle of Mann.
The English that everything is blamed on in Ireland, lived in the English Pale capital Dublin and had their strings pulled by London. Dublin really needs to take its share of the blame for once.
More People spoke Gaelic early 19th century than ever in history under British rule English Genocide in Ireland a Myth 100 yrs Independance what have they done for Gaelic Israel revived Hebrew in fifty yrs can't keep blaming England forever
There's no fear of that. Sure, didn't that half Spanish fellow, DeValera, come over from America and sort that out. And didn't that other fellow, Saint Patrick, arrive in a small boat with a load of Irish people traffickers before him.
@@SeanThomasCross Then who exactly do you consider outsiders? My family have lived in the North for generations I don't consider myself an outsider I consider it as my home!
@@Mary-m9n Ideally only people of the Irish ethnicity should be in Ireland. Most races have their own indigenous lands to call theirs except whites. But, most importantly is the recent invasion of outsiders who need to leave. In your case, being so established and entrenched on the island its different. If only people like you were there the true Irish would remain the majority. But once the recent mass migration of outsiders begin reproducing the native Irish will become minorities in their native land, disenfranchising them and driving their rare genetic traits to extinction. That is not okay and it is happening to all white nations by design right now.
I don't think there is a shame in the Irish language, more than an irritant. One of the most off-putting things about Irish-speakers is their insistence on correcting every little thing they perceive to be wrong.

My ancestors were known as the Scots-Irish, also known as the Ulster Scots, because they were from Scotland but had been displaced by the British and the Irish graciously gave them a large area on the East Coast of Ireland south of Northern Ireland. No doubt there’s also some pure Irish ancestry in the genetic mix, as well.
That's not correct at all. I dunno where you got that from...
The Ulster Scots weren't displaced by the "British", they were literally just regular Lowland Scottish folk (Scots is a Germanic language, a sister to English; not to be confused with Scottish Gaelic). They weren't gifted any land - they stole it.
ALL of the British nations colonised Ireland: the English, the Scottish and (to a lesser extent) the Welsh. None of them were fleeing their homeland (unless they were Catholics). That doesn't make being a modern British or Ulster Scots person bad or shameful. Just please don't spread fake history.
@@rambleswolf "Graciously gifted a large area of land". Nope. STOLEN + Centuries of oppression + GENOCIDE.
oh yes the plantations of ulster, indeed a thoroughly “gracious” affair!
Irish man here watching this from America haha
Lots of tears as I watched this and I'm not 100% sure why. It was a beautiful video but the tears are more significant of something else. I have been told I'm part Irish and wonder if this is why? I feel a calling....
Time to return home 🍀
@@TheWisdomOfOdin Thanks 😊

Peter santanello of spirituality/paganism.
Haha I definitely felt like him a couple times while filming this series
The British and Irish isles is a term that's starting to be used a lot
Another great video, they keep getting better. The land is so beautiful. It's a shame that there aren't more, overtly pagan places preserved, but that just makes the few more precious.
Any suggestions of a great app/program to learn the language?
Colonisation indeed. No Leprechauns unfortunately
Ctreepy?
I’m sorry to tell you that it would make more sense now to learn Arabic. Irelands been sold out. If it’s the Irish people that make Ireland, well considering the Irish will be a minority by 2050 where does that leave us.
A Dolman you mesn
Go raibh míle maith agat as an bhfíseán seo faoinár stair a roinnt linn!🇮🇪
Tá do físeán ar fheabhas, maith thú a chara agus Grma 😊
Do you know the difference between Ulster Scots {Scots Irish} immigration and Irish immigration and the impact on the US ? I don't think so. All those famous faces you showed of Irish descent , many if not most are descended from Scottish and English protestants from Northern Ireland.
I will look into it 👍
My ancient family are from the Ulsters, Erwin of Drum. Skal
@@TheWisdomOfOdin I am from NZ but as part of my genealogy research found that my people were mostly from the indigenous etho-religeous group known as the Gaelic people that is the Irish Catholic. Some of my ancestors were rebels are married the Scots settlers in Northern Ireland. Ireland really suffered under colonisation and so many of our Irish Catholic ancestors had to migrate (mine to NZ). I'm so proud that the Irish language survived. I'm also glad that so much paganism survived, often hidden in Catholism ❤❤❤
Ireland is the country of my dreams! I tell myself that someday I will definitely touch this land and these stones, which carry the energy of freedom and magic and such great power of the people, so I really enjoyed watching your video! Thank you for this journey 😊 May Gods guide and protect you on your path 🙏🍀
Unfortunately, we didn't work hard enough to bring back the Irish language, unlike Israel and Hebrew !
If I were to be honest, there's probably more everyday speakers of Polish, Ukrainian etc than Irish. If reversal is not done now, it's curtains for the language..
Go raibh maith agat!
All the Celts in NZ - and was Gaelic offered as a language to learn? No. Only French or German. Very wrong.
@@twophotons I agree 👍
No Gàidhlig na h-Alba
Maith thú!
Shouldn't Irish adopt the Welsh language?
I cant tell if this is ignorance, or trolling 😂
Using a partitioned map. Weak.

Do you realise that we aren't Celtic?
The Irish Diaspora should reclaim their Island from the invaders. “Give Ireland Back To The IRISH!”
Unfortunately there is little point in teaching a foreign classroom version of Gaelic, in counties it did not originally originate from.
Ulster for example spoke Eastern Ulster Gaelic in the Eastern counties and Western Ulster Gaelic in the Western, but these dialects are not taught in either. What is currently taught is only a little better than teaching English, as it is not only classroom Gaelic, but also a foreign dialect, not culturally correct?
Eastern Ulster Gaelic has died out unfortunately, but efforts should be made for it to be reintroduced back into Northern Ireland, as it was native to Ulster, the West of Scotland and the Isle of Mann.
Níl mo chanúint (Uladh) marbh ar chor ar bith! 💪💚🇮🇪☘🍻
It didn’t ‘originate’ from the counties. It was pushed out to the rest of Ireland by the English.
The English that everything is blamed on in Ireland, lived in the English Pale capital Dublin and had their strings pulled by London. Dublin really needs to take its share of the blame for once.
More People spoke Gaelic early 19th century than ever in history under British rule English Genocide in Ireland a Myth 100 yrs Independance what have they done for Gaelic Israel revived Hebrew in fifty yrs can't keep blaming England forever
Ireland says no to the demographic replacement. We will not be replaced.
There's no fear of that.
Sure, didn't that half Spanish fellow, DeValera, come over from America and sort that out.
And didn't that other fellow, Saint Patrick, arrive in a small boat with a load of Irish people traffickers before him.
Ah ha ha ha! Ba haa ha ha ha!!
Ha ha ha! Ha lol ha! 😆
Irish blood must be protected. There should be no outsiders in Ireland.
Good luck with your immigrant problem then!!
@@Mary-m9n I'm not in Ireland
@@SeanThomasCross Then who exactly do you consider outsiders? My family have lived in the North for generations I don't consider myself an outsider I consider it as my home!
@@Mary-m9n Ideally only people of the Irish ethnicity should be in Ireland. Most races have their own indigenous lands to call theirs except whites. But, most importantly is the recent invasion of outsiders who need to leave.
In your case, being so established and entrenched on the island its different. If only people like you were there the true Irish would remain the majority. But once the recent mass migration of outsiders begin reproducing the native Irish will become minorities in their native land, disenfranchising them and driving their rare genetic traits to extinction.
That is not okay and it is happening to all white nations by design right now.
@@Mary-m9n Well I gave a full explanation, but jootube decided it wasn't allowed to be read.
I don't think there is a shame in the Irish language, more than an irritant.
One of the most off-putting things about Irish-speakers is their insistence on correcting every little thing they perceive to be wrong.
Why shouldn't they, it's their language
Never it's a dead language.
A few million people would disagree 😆
