What is the riddle of FLESH?

At 37:37, you mention the records of the Rus, where may I find these, or reference to them? Please respond.

@@gagishaggi6969 steel isn't strong, flesh is stronger. What is steel compared to the hand that wields it?

As someone who is both Welsh and Irish, I agree!

Apollo is a knockoff Rudra.

@@godskingssages4724 who is Rudra, is he another sun god and what makes him better than Apollo. not being a dick just curious do you have any recommended reading on this God.

@@godskingssages4724 That is a very poor reading. In the Celtic system, Apollo seems to be a secondary, maybe even weaker god in comparison to the others, associated with youth and healing but also reproduction, maybe agriculture (maybe). You can see him as Belenus. Rudra, on the other hand, is the older Vedic form of Shiva, a “Lord of Storms”, the destroyer and avenger, who is (very obviously and indisputably) equal in his role to the fury of Lug.

And African and North American Indian cosmologies. I wonder if anyone has written a book compiling the similarities of the three continents?

@Black Lesbian Poet lmao "poetry". ok

@@supernova808 There are connections between the Indo-European peoples. Just accept it.

@Black Lesbian Poet think you need a nother avant garde adjective to not discribe your self. thanks for adding nothing to the conversation as you peacock through.

@Black Lesbian Poet Cool name.

лучше почитать книги Роберта Говарда о Конане из Киммерии....хотя фильм 1982 очень хороший в некоторых аспектах

unless you are actually irish... then its all extremely cringeworthy.

I'm working on it

@@FortressofLugh CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT

@@FortressofLugh Done yet?🍻 No rush....just hurry up!

While tracing back family-trees in very nice for personal use, and closer family relationship, it's a hudge timespan from "Halstatt population" to todays european population. People moved around lot at all moment, and there was lot migrations and exchange since then.

Beautiful prose!

What book did you get this out of ?

@@chriscutty9172 True story. There was video, too. VHS! Long gone, probably.

@@jeremiahshine just jiving with ya. Sounds like something I would have wanted to be apart of. Except for the sacrifice. I'm good on that

@@chriscutty9172 The "sacrifice" was a butcher and a BBQ and a huge stew...with Beaujolais nouveau.

Yeah Lugh seems to fulfill more of a Thor or Tyr type role in Irish mythology, as Taranis seems to be the more of the Brythonic and continental Sky father, more akin to Zeus.

Fortress of Lugh explains in a different video that the etymology of Tuireann, while it initially seemed superficially similar, is actually a deceptive link which in fact demonstrates it in reality comes from a different word. So, Tuireann does not equal Taranis. Fortress of Lugh also demonstrates VERY convincingly that Lug really is the Celtic Storm God, you should watch his video on this it makes things much clearer. As for the Sky Father, it is clear this role is played by the Dagda, with his partner the Morrigan as the Earth Mother, and, as is actually the normal system in PIE belief, the Sky Father is usually not the chief god but the storm god is. The Sky Father is normally a glutton figure as well (you can see this in Chronos), with the chief god being someone who unleashes and liberates trapped forces (ZEUS). It’s interesting to see how Thor has retained that glutton characteristic but people seem to think of him as younger than the Odin character these days (who may have himself been influenced by the Celtic Lug).

​@@thegreenmage6956it's a false cognate. Sounds similar but has a completely different meaning.

I’ve also not heard of this artefact until now. I too would like to hear more about it.

Lammas is my Oath/Recognition Day. So dear to my ❤. Now I can properly pronounce Lughnasadh. Thank you for this wonderful video! Just in time!

Happy Lughnasadh! ☘🗿🍀

Lammas bread :-)

@@OldNavajoTricks Yah, most have forgotten about that! Lammas bread may have been Tolkien's inspiration for "Lembas bread" in the Lord of the Rings books. Lammas - Lembas - lots of similarities there.

@@random2829 Yeah, I might be showing my age there lol bit I remember as a kid we used to make little loaves/rolls at school and we gave them to neighbours and friends etc, kind of a 'You are important to us' gesture if I recall correctly. 👍

Fuck yea dude.

Lúnasa, Lughnasa in older spelling, has the stress on the first syllable. In modern Irish it is the word for the month of August. Beir bua!

It is more likely related to defeating bad spirits

Yeah

History's Mysteries.... I was told the same, that the snakes 🐍 driven from Ireland were Druids & Celtic paganism as the prevailing religion/mythos became Christianity after St Patrick.

Yes, but Conan is... fiction.

So Crom is Perhaps Taranis or Lugh?

I made a video called holy holes on holed stones and associated rituals

It is tough to say. There are a few inscriptions to Lugus in Iberia, but nothing which tells us how the god was imagined. Some attempted translations of a dedication to Lugus indicate a connection to a first fruits summer festival. Other than that, nothing. What survives mostly are hilltop sites named using Lugus constructions, like Lugdunum (Fortress of Lug), or Luguvallium (Lugus Strength). These sites indicate a royal importance linked to a militaristic identity. Some French archeologist note a connection between finds of the wheel god depictions and sites named using Lugus. The main question is what meaning the name had in these constructions. In Old Irish, Lug is sometimes used as a common noun, meaning champion, warrior, hero. We also cannot overlooked the possibility of ancestor worship. It could be that because many tribes traced their decent from a king named Lug or Lugaid, that this king takes on the nature of the god. Trying to puzzle out the name is basically a dead end. What instead we should do is look at his overall character in surviving sources and see how they correspond to other evidence. That is what I have been trying to do, but it requires breaking with the orthodox position that he is somehow equivalent to Mercury. I have struggled for years with this and it just doesn't work.

@@FortressofLugh thanks man,I appreciate it

It looks like it.

Odin ≠ king god. He's a much more complex figure

@@Amfortas Right. Germanic seems different than the others and they don't seem to have a thunderer god king.

Wasn't Thor a thunder God? Also the Irish or Celt God with parallels to Odin would be Dagda... the all father God.

@@jeffreypetro3803 Thor isn't the chief deity/sovereign though like Zeus or Perun.

@@brandonm9378 Thor's father Odin is chief, the All Father, but Thor with hammer is the Thunder God. Just like Apollo is the Sun God, but isn't the chief or highest God, his father is...

Hebrew history tells of stories and meanings for each letter and number. Are you saying something like that or do you mean each rune was an actual God? This is very interesting, thanks.

@@tjj1977tjj each character of a language represents something, in certain cases as in science, the different symbols represent different powers/functions. Many ancient people had a fascination with black glass(obsidian) which I would shows the knowledge of smartphones/tablets.

Could be many things such as the 12 months of the year or a solar wheel.

Lugh

Various Gods in the Celtic sphere are equivalent to Odin.

that's a bad way of thinking about it. no gods are cognate, at least not in that sense. like how Odin is very different than Zeus, despite the fact that they're both "father" deities.

@@supernova808 they mean which is analogous. Most do have an indo European link.

Dagda

Actually, a lot of this stuff is tracking. They believe the Picts were the descendants of the megalithic builders of places like stonehenge. The Basque goddess & counterpart to the sun God is also described as being related to fire & the priests would meet with those two gods every seven days for regular meetings, one of which was to plan that week's weather. Bulls may have also had something to do with their religious beliefs, but it's hard to know precisely what. Basque mythology talks about a red bull figure & people turning into bulls & the Picts were likely also the descendants of the people in Britain making the stone bull's head shaped burial barrows.

And, the Basques & Illyrians both depict the sun God in the form of a snake, with the Illyrians referring to this depiction as "draconis."

He did mention her though.

That's also my question but I guess that's the point

The archetypical school is not a valid school of thought because it posits that the gods are merely figments of our imagination. Which the ancients viewed them as divine forces of the cosmos, not the aforementioned.

@@egillivaldason7238 ... Meh...*shrugs shoulders* "To each their own..."

Corn introduced to Europe in 1493. What are they talking about?

Returned? Did they go away?

@@kellysouter4381 They were banished to other realms and could no longer access this one but that is no longer the case thanks to some good old particle smashing over at Cern. I would also direct your attention to over 100 Sarcophagus unearthed in Egypt approximately 2 years ago. These were some very important Egyptian nobility and the timing of the discovery is quite astounding to say the least.
