Always a good day when I can get knowledge from my favorite faerie expert 🎉

Great video! I've found that there are many similarities between the Aos Sidhe and Kami of Japanese Shinto. in Shinto the Gods like Amaterasu etc. are all Kami but so are the tiniest little forest spirit. There seem to be many parallels between Shinto and Irish paganism from what I've seen.

Thank you miss daimler for the informative and helpful look into Irish folklore looking forward to more blessed be

What ho morgan,nice timing , just back from the south beach in Troon where I said hello to the seely court(a seery saying hello to the seely if you will allow😊)

Very nicely done! I've wondered about this for a long time. One thought that comes to me in here is that if you want dogma and universalisms, folklore in general probably isn't going to be a happy time for you. And then when you pour victorian (and post-victorian) syncretism into the pot, things get even more jumbled. I like the idea of a basic taxonomy in here, with aos sidhe as 'a superclass', and TDD as a type of/subclass of that because it eloquently handles belonging, but without the obligation of sharing all traits.

Thank you for the video and even if people disagree that's they're right. I just hope they appreciate the information you've shared. Enjoy your upcoming weekend.

I always thought that the nobility of the Tuatha De Dannan married into the nobility of the Aos Sidhe, and gained their royal holdngs from the high king of the Aos Sidhe after they lost the above ground portion of Ireland to the Milesians.

In Homer’s Odyssey he refers to the Danaans (Tuatha Dé Danann) as being a collective term for the Greeks. As well as that, the tale of Odysseus visiting the Island of ‘Ogygia’ is almost identical to Oisín visiting Tír na nÓg. Surely there is a connection here.

Sorry, around 15:00 you lost me a little with talk of the Leprechaun. When you said Leprechauns are not members of the Aos Sidhe, were you suggesting that while the Puca or the Leprechaun - whatever the original word for them was - are otherworldly beings, they are not "fairies?" Are "fairies" only the Aos Sidhe, the shining ones, the good folk, the fair folk, and beings like the Puca are just separate dudes that occupy the same otherworldly, spiritual plane of existence?
