I just got back from a visit to Ireland. I heard a couple stories about the F's. This intrigued me and was showed a fort. I've heard more intriguing stories since. I would love to go back and learn more. Thank you explaining their likes and dislikes.
@@TheCraftyCailleach O.M.G baby girl I absolutely love the way you have done your make up in this video it's absolutely perfect hunny your gorgeous sweetie 😊😉😘🤩😍🤗🌛🌝🌜🌞🌚⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😸😻😽💝💖💋oh and guess what else I love yep u guess rite it's my dearly beloved seelie white good lovely neighbors 😻😸😘😽💖💝🍀☘️🌞
I'm so happy I found your channel! This is by far the best video I've seen about the Fair Folk and love hearing the authentic firsthand stories and folklore. I also appreciate the resources you've shared and am excited to read more. Many thanks!
Love how much you've grounded this in different sources and combine the research with your own experience and family traditions--thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you sommuch for your comment! I'm doing a postgraduate in Irish History so very much like the research and presenting but as a practicing Irish Pagan I also think it's important to give that personal experience too 😀
I reckon I have a Puca attached to me. I have a very odd obsession with him as you can tell by my profile pic. And Im not that much into fairy's but I do believe they exist. And I wouldn't be fucking with them that's for sure.
I once cut down a "fairy tree." I thought it would be OK because it looked dead anyway. It was leaning way over a 10 foot drop. We cut it so that it would fall down the drop but instead it jumped back and fell up! Landing on me. Trees are very heavy, even small ones. The only thing that saved me getting my spine snapped was an indentation in the drive where water collected which I was knocked into face down by the tree. I'd suggest not cutting these trees even if they look completely dead.
@Sionnach1601 Definitely a Cork twang. This video is a few years old now, I would have made it after moving back to Waterford after living in Cork for 5+ years. Also married to a Corkonian so will have that twang forever 🤣
Wow! Thank you so much for this video and all the amazing resources. 😍 I've been on a journey to learn more about my Irish heritage and have been wanting to make sure I'm reading up on the correct sources. Love it when you share anecdotes too. ☺️
Although I live in America my father is extremely Irish. So whenever we went to Ireland to see my relatives my granny would always tell me of all sorts of stories. When I was younger she would read me stories of fairies. She even lives really near a fairy fort so whenever we drove past it we would point it out. As of lately I’ve been more intrigued of stories of fairies so I’ve been researching a tiny bit. This video really did a good job of doing a clear and consist telling of the stories so I really appreciate it!!
Thank you very much! It's very much part of our heritage, and part that I feel a strong connection to. I would highly recommend Lora O'Brien's new book 'Fairy Faith in Ireland' if you're looking for more
You should really purchase "Faerie Tale" by Raymond E. Feist. You will be wondering who is looking in at you through the window as you read at night. It is utterly terrific; incredibly, riveting atmospheric, and he got a LOT of the core mythology right in my opinion, agus is Éireannach me. Sláinte ☘☘🙏🙏
Hi there - so grateful IPS shared your bread recipe video and to be led here (and your Irish history videos too!). Wondering how come you explain about not using the word fairy but then how people still say fairy trees and bushes and rings. Is that what you meant by though something is common it is not correct? So you're just referring to the good folk's bushes and trees and rings with "the f word" because that's what people commonly say? Thank you for your time and sharing!
Hey Erica 😊 So, I get that it might seem hypocritical to not call Them by the F word and then use "fairy ring" (so much in the Irish traditions are contradictions of each other) but it would be down to not having other words for them and it's the most common usage. In terms of "fairy forts" we can use "ring fort" or "lios" to refer to them but just not specifically with the trees, rings and bushes we don't really have another term for it to describe them and get the same meaning across. And using the F word to specifically refer to Them as beings on their own would be a general no-no which is why we have so many other words and terms for Them 😊 I hope that explains it a bit better?

To be fair to Iarnród Éireann the train is between a set of iron tracks
This is also true... seems kind of cruel to invite Them and then also have them not be able to get on lol
