Richard Longues Could you tell me more about Le Goff, Goffanon? I am very fascinated as my mothers maiden name is Goff.

@@buffy377 well, there are many interesting things, but you could start by reading this: lornasmithers.wordpress.com/2019/11/07/the-forge-of-gofannon/ Cheers !

The tribe that inhabited Angers were the Andecavi (Andecauii). The exact meaning of their name is uncertain, but the first element is ande- (a modifier meaning "very") rather than an- "not". "Non-god" in Gaulish would be Andêuos (plural Andêuoi). And the Gaulish name/equivalent of Goibniu is Gobannos.

@@joecato1138 ln fact the Angevine tribe had 2 names -or variants of the same- (according to Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico): Andes/Andecavii (just like Bigerri/Bigerriones, Pimpedunni/Bipedimui, Pictavii/Pictones, Catalauni/Catuvellauni), etc. You seem to be a neo-pagan, using reconstructed Gaulish, as if it were something beyond doubt, which is certainly not. I try to stick, as much as l can, to proven knowledge, not to a body of reconstructed suppositions. I like what you do, but we are in hypothetical grounds, We just can't bring an extant language back based on some tenth's of Gaulish inscriptions dating mainly from more than 2.000 years ago and present it like the real one. It's not the original and it's forms have many bias.

@@richardlongues4695 I actually just seen this reply sadly but I did read the article and it is intriguing. Is there where you believe the sir name Goff might have came from?

Read this and observe with my giddiness the correspondence/relationship of the sanskrit mantra/syllable Aum to growth www.counter-currents.com/2018/05/introduction-to-vedanta-part-ii/

That’s very interesting. What’s less interesting is KZfaq not posting my comment when I typed it a day ago.

I mean lugh is a storm god

Because lightning is an aspect of the sun - there seems to be a pattern in PIE; sacred fire, profane fire, and celestial/cosmic fire, of which lightning is a part of.

All come from Prajapati/Buri

Hmmm

Very weird indeed Time to stop the genocide of the Tuatha Gaeilge

Do you mean Donn?

@J. Smith Check this page out: ansionnachfionn.com/seanchas-mythology/tuatha-de-danann/ If you scroll down a bit there is a section titled "The Name" which goes into a lot more detail than the wiki page does. What's also worth considering, not in regards the name but the goddess Danu, is the English folklore character called Black Annis/Anna. One of the areas associated with her are the Dane Hills in Leicester which may be named after the Norse who occupied the city for a city for awhile or may have been named for a goddess with a name similar to Danu. There is also another female folklore character from Britain called Gentle Annie who may have originally been an aspect of Black Annis.

@@Drew_Thompson Are you suggesting that it should be the people of Donn rather than Danu?

It's analogous to Muintir na hÉireann, the family of Ireland.

Technically zeus is also a war god as he was described as giving Victory similar to odin

This wold be interesting , I've heard about Crom , but haven't been able to find any info about him

@@gillesderais2457 All I've heard is that there's a stone sacred to him and women were supposed to be terrified of it.

Crom cares not of your children. Crom cares only of your personal sacrifice. Crom only accepts prayers in the form of feats of willpower.

The child sacrifice thing is a lie made up by Christians to demonize Crom Cruach.

Nuada, Lug, Goibniu, Luchta, Credne, Dian Cecht. Ogma, Dagda

@@FortressofLugh btw how is Goibniu pronounced? Like "goinu"? I kind of get that he has a lot of unspoken letters, but can't figure out which ones. Thx :D

Something like: Govnioo. In old Irish, the b and m were often pronounced as a "V".

@@elgranlugus7267 It's things like that that show how Irish and Welsh developed alongside each other or came from a common British language. In Welsh the old m often became an f, in Irish it became mh, both are pronounced with a v sound. A good example is the Dumnonii tribe, their name by the early middle ages was Dyfnain(t) where the m had already become a v sound represented by f. The Anglo-Saxons referred to them as Defnas and their land as Defn which later was written as Devon.

Gaulish, Cumbric, and Pictish are also Brythonic tongues. I reckon Gaelic might have started off in Éire and spread in Albain and Mannin later.

Though I would argue, unlike the monotheists who unite creation energy with the one god. I would still say creation and the one god are noth the same. I firmly believe the celts were still polytgeists, even if they agreed on once source of creation And I also think that being of the underworld or an agent of chaos didnt necessary always mean "evil". Though some certainly were. Some underworld deities aslo seem to be part of keeping the balance

@@asiag6863 monotheism and polytheism are empty words. You can call the source of the gods a 'God' or just the eternal Truth, it doesn't take away from their power because they are emanations from this core.

No it's much closer to the Vedic, as Kevin says.

@@user-ze3tq9hf9i Exactly, everything emanates from The One.

@@user-ze3tq9hf9i I disagree. They arent empty at all. But words that tell very much. View it like a fortune 500 company. Creation energy/ creator is the owner. The gods are the board of directors. The one god is a member who left the board and attempted to tell the world only he existed. Monotheists follow that one and only that one because that is what the one god demands. They also name him creator. pagans like me honour the others and in essence, the totality of the universe and all creation. So you and I, we understand that we all come from one source and so honoring all things is ok and even right because to honour all honour the source.

I am Welsh and not familiar with it. But skill and craft was valued which could be considered commerce? So if looking at the Mabinogion Lleu Llau Gyffes is an example. Also the Welsh Goddess Briant is akin to Brigantia/Brigid for Smith (metal forging).

@@kellylouisebrown4954 That is super cool and thank you!

@@Mrcool12684 no problem.

Theyre welsh

Arawn king of the Otherworld. Yep both him and Rhiannon are Welsh Deities

Yeah, this is also applied to Poseidon. He wasn't a in origin a sea god, because the proto hellenic thedes came from the steppes.

There is also Nechtan who is a possible cognate with Neptune.

Maybe sea gods could be interpreted by steppe people as an extension of their steppe gods, being that both environments are vast, open stretches of territory that are exposed and relatively flat/featureless under the heavens and sun. Now instead of horses and wagons to thrive and expand and mingle with other peoples, you need a ship. I dunno.

That's debatable. Nuada and Lugh might be gods of hunting.

@@mercianthane2503 Lugh is a God of sky, light, storm, lightning, rain, war, order, oath (Iranic Mithra, Vedic Mitra-Indra, Greek Zeus) Nuada is a god of sky, waters, law, Justice and truth(Vedic Varuna) None of them are hunting deities.

@@McAulay99 I thought Lugh was also the god of the sun :0

@@lasilo2017 Lugh is likened to the sun and brings forth it's light but he is distinct from the sun. Celtic male sun god is Bres.

@@McAulay99 ¡Oh thank you so much! I’ll write down this information inmediatly

No it's Skyrim because it's always fucking Skyrim he hasn't changed the damn background music in FOREVER. Slightly poor respect for presentation.
