    I love Celtic mythology even though I grew up in a traditional Chinese culture environment.
  • For a Traditional reading of Celtic history, religion and warfare I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series
  • Look after your old and sick any age. Share your food freely to any visitors and I mean anyone! Celtic Culture from even pre-Christan times. We are all travellers with time...

    When I heard them mention Finn McCool (McColl, etc..) it took me back to memories of my mom, Alice McCool (or McColl, she would never confirm which, but would just say "yes" when asked lol), but I grew up on stories of Finn, quite the rogue!

    I always thought Celtic was only related to Ireland, until I found out my family history went back to Cornwall which is considered one of the “Celtic Nations”. Now I am very interested to learn more.
  • I'm truly appreciating your channel. As someone whose own history has been obscured by the shadow of slavery, the narratives of others have always held a special fascination for me. Thank you for enriching our understanding with these stories of profound depth and breadth

    I really enjoy your channel. As someone who's history has been lost through the slave trade here in the US, the history of others has always fascinated me. Thank you for sharing these stories of such depth and breadth.

    The last episode on Arthur is ripping indeed. it’s got verve and life, sadness and happiness, life both relaxed and fierce, and emotional depth. the story tellers are so good (actors who know how to convey reality of living to the listeners). brilliantly produced, narrated, written, directed, et alia. Thank you so much. :) 🏰🐎⚔️💫🤺🚩🏹👑

    I only got as far as the 4th ad break at 16mins in. So many good videos destroyed by relentless ads. Such a shame.

  • St. Patrick is a storied figure in Irish history, however, missionaries were responsible for the decimation of much Celtic culture as there's was largely an oral tradition, much of their lore was corrupted or lost altogether.
  • @feralbluee
    the narrator is good and the story tellers give their analyses with some emotion. is it is it Finn Mc Coul (?), his stories are very intriguing, and no wonder they have lasted so long. :) 🍀🌼🍀
  • These stories would be the best super hero movies ever!! I wish with all my heart these could come to a wider audience,
