      There’s hardly much distinction in the modern world, either. I studied electricity for a few months. It’ll burn hotter than flames if you’re not careful with certain machines. Arch flashes are quite powerful.

      Njörð, maybe nerthus in Latin gave many traits to his son Freyr. Freyr had a sword that extinguishes flame and fights by its own. Also he looks like Ares of sarmatians and Tyr.

    I’ve always thought of Nuada and Lugh as being two different sides of Ancient Celtic Warfare. Nuada being the one emphasized on very honorable single combat with a sword, and Lugh is his fierce enforcer who uses a lightning javelin as his primary weapon, striking from far away.

    So, he is the flame and he is the glow.
    Though it befits a channel dedicated to Lugh to allot him the hero’s portion, I can see you have done very well here.
    Excellent work.
    This is of great value and will be of essential use to us and to all Celts in reconstruction.
    I will certainly refer back to it in the future for my own work.
    May such great work continue.

    • @ulfberht4431
      @ulfberht4431 5 месяцев назад

      Yeah, I wish that too. As a native Irishman, it’s sad that our local myths and legends aren’t as well known and are very scarce.
      That being said, I think the channel TaleFoundery made a good point regarding Irish mythology. That due to its scarcity, it allows authors and fiction writers to add their own spin and interpretations of Irish myth since they don’t have much restriction to go off of. And ironically, Irish myths are told orally among tribes and clans and no story is the same so, in a methodical and abstract way, even thought the tales are scarce we can still pass them on and add our own tales no matter how different they become.

    Finding the Syncretism is the Key, from my own perspective. My ancestors knew.. in part, understood.. in part, and have deeply rooted Scot/Irish heritages, as well as Anglo-Saxon ones.. but I also have Davidic Roots and deeply devoted Christian beliefs by family and within myself.
    I find this information to be most helpful in that the Characteristics of Christ consciousness is borne out from everyone who has been remembered throughout the ages, with the contradistinction of my faith in Christ Jesus vs. my respect for my ancestors and our traditions being my understanding of my own need for a Direct Divine Connection and course correction that is borne out of my Relationship with my Redeemer.
    Thanks so much for sharing your insights and information on our Celtic ancestors. I also have enjoyed your commentary on the Indo-European and Middle Eastern religious beliefs.

    Speaking to the fairness of Nuada in battle, Týr was not only a god of war, but of justice. So it would seem that the two are cognate to some degree. Just as Dagda is referred to as the Allfather and the masked one just as Óðinn is.

    • @Son-of-Tyr
      @Son-of-Tyr Год назад +1

      @@gentlewise7 Cain? As in biblical Cain? No. The Romans referred to Týr as Mars Thingsus, which is latin for 'Mars of the Thing'. The Thing being the ancient Germanic equivalent of a court of law. Týr, Tīw, Tiwaz, Tiwar, Tiews was the ancient Germanic god of War and justice, later the old Norse Æsir god of war and justice. He was associated with the Thing because of this. So you're partially right about him Týr being interpreted by the Romans as a version of Mars, but I don't know where you got the Cain interpretation from...

    Nuada was associated with hounds and the oldest hounds in mythology are the Aralez, the god dogs of Armenia, and these dogs could heal the wounded and raise the dead...one of the powers that Cuchulain had. He healed a woman like a hound. I share these with my group.

      Odin may have just been a thief of the Far East and their ancient wisdom. The Blue Skin of Krishna and the depiction of Frost Giants being blue seems more than coincidental. Also the link between caucasians from India to Ireland seems significant. The thing that i find most interesting is the 11,000 y/o mummies from Nevada are also Caucasian and that supposedly the entity that is Jesus came to America back then to bring a certain cactus to a tiny portion of the Mexican/Texas desert.

    In 2017 I lost all use of my right arm in an accident. I was in the hospital for a month, during which time I had a heart attack and technically died during a total eclipse of the sun. In my experience when you die it is quite peaceful...nothing but a black ocean. No light to go towards. No fires of hell. Luckily, I was revived and got out a month later. The doctors continually recommended I have my arm amputated. I refused and a year or so later my uncle who is a physical therapist began working on my arm. The pain was absolutely unbearable. At one point he brought me into a side room and performed some sort of ritual on me where he pulled something that felt like a serpent out of my chest which caused me to go into a fit of uncontrollable laughter for 20 minutes to the point that it was painful. Eventually my arm was completely healed by my uncles working on it, but he said due to an NDA he was unable to tell me anything about how he brought my arm back, and also told me it would not work if I worried about how any of it worked when he first started.
    Seeing this video is literally freaking me out. On my right arm I have a tattoo of a Kingfisher. People have been telling me recently that they cant hide anything from me because I am like a hound. (I do not see anything about myself that resembles a hound in personality or looks)
    So very strange...
    Too many things are lining up! Help!

    Nodens' association with hounds is interesting in relation to the Celtic connection of them to healing given that Nuada and the Fisher King were both maimed and restored. Boann had a lapdog named Dabilla which was destroyed with her when she went left-handwise around Nechtan's well betraying cosmic order just as she betrayed Nechtan with the Dagda. The filidh (seers) are held to have chewed dog-meat (thought by some to be a metaphor for some other hallucinogenic substance) before entering a three-day sleep during which they were closely watched in order to gain prophetic inspiration. Do the sleeping-healing chambers of Nodens have some connection to Nuada as a god of prophecy?

    5:18 the Tuatha de danaan are the tribe of Dan. Dan and Cadmus left Egypt with Moses however Dan and Cadmus went to the Peloponnese; Dan founded Mycenae and is the progenitor of tue Mycenaean Greeks and Cadmus who founded Thebes and Sparta and is the ancestor of Herakles and Dionysus in Greece. After their victory in the Trojan war they were defeated by the sons of Hercules and the Dorians, and they left to Sardinia, Denmark, Italy, and Canaan and from there they went to Ireland. In Egypt Dan was the king of Libya.
    6:44 the Roman’s say it was ares or mars who was the father of Romulus and Remus but they also say it may have been Hercules. Hercules was melqart in Tyre and aka Baal: he was the patron deity of sailors, and he is known also as Tyrian Heracles.

    Hey I dont know if you realize but its common knowledge in Ireland. In the lebor gebala erenn or the Book of invasions ..it says and i quote …''for what learned men say is, that every princely family that is in Ireland, save the Eoganacht, is of the seed of Nuadu Airgetlám (Nuada).'' All leaders of clanns or septs would claim lineage from a god or myth figure or a figure of the fomorians or the tuatha de. Why would Nuada's father be human? Well there are two ways of looking at it ...one is to think these gods already existed and that families claimed to be descended from them. The other which is in more in keeping with the druid tradition is that kings paid druids to write epic stories about their ancestors . And some ancestors ended up being more epic than others. Also the reason all kings wanted to be associated with nuada was because he was known as the good king . www.tairis.co.uk/an-tri-naomh/ancestors/ Delbhna Nuadat (obvious from the name) was such a clann they were from roscommon they eventually took the name flanagan en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delbhna_Nuadat
