The Druids’ wisdom and connection to nature is something we need today. Their belief in trees like the oak and sacred rituals rooted in balance with the environment feels so ahead of its time. Who else feels drawn to their tree-inspired Ogham alphabet?
I always felt drawn to the celtic culture Did a DNA test, and it showed that most of my heritage is celtic. Was cool to find out, but also, i wonder if that is the reason i feel drawn to it. I am superstitious, though, lol.
37:50 Not only were the Druids mystic priests and soothsayers, they were lawmakers or lawgivers. They pervaded every aspect of Celtic life. The Roman Historian, Tacitus was probably right when he described the Druids as the glue which held the Iceni people together.
great video! i really appreciate how much detail you included about Celtic mythology. personally, though, i think the portrayal of some creatures tends to exaggerate their significance in the culture. while they’re fascinating, i wonder if they overshadow the more historical aspects that shaped the Celts as a people. just a thought!
@@Kayesseethis is an interesting perspective but you would be wrong. we would usually put this definition onto animals indigenous to certain regions, however what makes human beings indigenous to places is whether or not they were the first peoples to live there, not whether they evolved there. every continent has an indigenous population and a population of settler-colonists (yes if you are not ethnically indigenous to your country that is by definition what you are, sorry americans)
@DJSTRANGLER Well if you want to be technical, some American Indian tribes only came to America AFTER European colonization. In other words we were here before the Na Dene people and yet they get classified as "Native". It's a fake word used to gain unfair and undeserved political clout over another group and it's pathetic. At the end of the day all that matters is who is there now.
Amazing my mind is blown like lsd or DMT but without drugs but only because of my knowledge previous of world religions from India Greece Israel Egypt Mesopotamia Im just left with so many questions as to how these things happened all over the earth the similar stories
i agree. the romans allowed celts to retain their culture to an extent, while on the other hand christians viewed their religion and culture as non negotiable. that was the nail in the coffin for the celts.
Yeah, the closest muslims and gauls came was the galatians who relocated to central anatolia and were eradicated and christianized by Rome around 400 AD. Which misses Islamic culture by about 3-400 years. Edit:celts not gauls
I suppose you could be arguing of Muslim takeovers of cultures in northern and western Africa, but you did say indo-european so I guess you mean India? Since that would be the only place that fits the description.....but considering only 12-13% of the population is Muslim, and 80% still practice Hinduism I'm not so sure it sticks there either.....or perhaps you meant the ottoman expansion? Where there was significantly more religious amd cultural tolerance than literally anywhere in Europe with MAYBE the exceptions of some of the free trade cities like Genoa or Venice.
I am American but Celtic in my ethnicity maybe that’s why that as a woman I still have the desire to fight and protect and not be the weakling that men seem they want us to be

Words can’t express how proud I am to share this Celtic ancestry🏴
Iechyd da brother 🏴
In this video you summarize Celtic culture very thoroughly, very detailed and easy to understand, thank you for giving me more useful knowledge

The Celtics are wonder and brave people
Thanks for the long and interesting video filled with a lot of good information

Decades later, I find out Nuada's Sword and Lugh's Spear, space ships in Robin Owens' 'Celta' book series!!! 🫨

I love all your European vids dude. Keep up the good work
Wild how my ancestors had a concept of true freedom for themselves and we still cant get there today
My favorite author, P.C. Cast, gave Boudicca's daughters names; Mirain and Una.
I love 💕 your video history Europe beautiful culture and I love so much this history my dear brother father.
The Celts are Indo Europeans. They didn't come to Europe in the Ice Age, their ancestors invaded Europe in the Bronze Age from the Pontic Steppe.
Yeah. Then the Christians ruined everything.
Everyone is not a native of anywhere except the ones that never left the rift valley in Africa.

@Kayessee oh yeah I remember when the neanderthals came from Africa.
But they didn't did they
Gratitude 🤲 Your Way.
When are you guys gonna talk about yokai again?

I think there was some confusion conflating Germanic tribes with the Celtic tribes, celts aren’t Germanic to my knowedge
The Germanic tribes are also Celts. Thry were actually the first to be called Celts by the Romans.
If only Christians and Muslims didn't force their beliefs, then all the Indo European ppl could have held their culture and beliefs longer 😢
Stop it.
Muslims? They have nothing to do with Celtic people. There were no Muslim when Romans killed them all except those ones in the islands.
