Hum. Farm lad eh. Aye. That's right. Hmm. You don't seem old enough to know all this. It amazes me that you can reel all that off as you do. I was once a farm lad from North Yorkshire Moors, in a van today, wintering in Pembrokeshire, a mile down the road from Pentra Ifan. I am tempted to ask if you need a hand keeping that farm of yours out of the hands of the bank. I would work for a story and dinner, for a month or two. Mmm, I think I would. But, I won't write that because this is KZfaq comments and it is not the way things are done. Still, every time I watch one of your videos I am taken by an overwhelming urge to meet this man for the wyrding magic of these isles sparkles in his eyes it does! Mmm. 🐉 'Scuse me. A wanderer doth dream.

Thanks! Hope you all hang on to the farm. It provides many great settings for your videos and must nurture your soul. It seems like you know the land and the things that grow there so well. Have a great trip.

Beautiful. Thank you, these stores enriched some good memories of my grandmother- whose name was Ivy. 💚

I read the notes!! Love your storytelling!!so glad I found your channel!!

All right me old son.as a pagan I love the story's and folklore you're a great teller of stories . My house has ivy all over it looks better than brick 👍🇬🇧♥️

Hoping the farm stays with you guys♥️🌿and have a wonderful trip!

Have a wonderful trip to Morocco! I’m sure you will come back with many great stories to share. But first and foremost, enjoy yourself and take it all in.

High eloquence my friend, this is awesome. I feel like the Celtic ancestors are around me recently Im not sure why. All the best.

I have been delighted to discover your lovely videos. Today, as a knitter, I was most distracted by your beautiful Fair Isle sweater. Very inspiring with it’s almost art deco pattern and colorway. Happy Trails ✨

Wonderful so glad i found you love the storytelling ❤

That was fete! I was only thinking of Ivy today and it’s place in folklore, thank you for a wonderful video x

Great video ❤ Ivy is also a great source of food for bees and birds in winter when food is hard to find, so only advantages to get one growing in your garden 😊

Superb exploration of this wandering and ambiguous character. It is still is used for cough medicine and birds happily guzzle the berries but PLEASE FOLKS don't go lollipopping the stuff... its full of saponins which can make you seriously ill, Best left alone unless your Gran knows the secret fomula. Thanks again for you work, bon voyages and have fun in Morrocco... hope you encounter myterious Oud music and Sufi tales! M.

Make sure you hit LIKE and leave a comment for the algos - it all helps build the channel.

Cosmic lady garden! 😂💕

This is so lovely! I only recently found your channel and I really enjoy it. I am new on the path, but it is reassuring to find someone else, lol (the synchronicity can be quite strong sometimes, bit overwhelming). I would love stuff on Dionysus! And I can't wait to learn from your trip, I don't know as much about the folklore of Morocco, would be interested in learning more on it. Safe travels!

Ivy has always been one of my all-time favourites, I've got it growing all over the inside of my house, and plenty outside too! What a fascinating treat to learn all about its folklore 🌿 Your videos are always so informative and pleasant to watch, thank you!!

Very illuminating and enjoyable video - ☺️

This is fantastic content my dude

I really enjoyed the bit about the ivy growing on the Ash tree. I’m over near Boston (Worcester MA) and the previous owner of my property was a bit of an Arborist or “tree guy” for lack of a better word 😂 So he put in a row of Ash with ornamental Winter Creeper vine under each. I eradicated one and now the crown of that Ash outlasts that of the others twice as long! Just goes to show, the wrong “vine” can sap your energy and your Spirit! Luckily though, the Native Virginia Creeper Vine is growing up with the Ash now and not at its expense 😌 He might’ve had these Stories in mind as we have holly and English ivy present as well. However I’ve been introducing lots of Native Species to the area so as to let the local Ecosystem return and take care of herself 🌿💚🕊️ Great videos by the way!

Sorry to hear about your mother and the goings on of the farm you have in the family.

Ivy is my plant ❤

Wonderful, that was fascinating! Always a joy to watch your videos!

fascinating, did not know the etymology of paradise or ecstasy

Its very invasive in the south. It brought down a healthy small hickory blocking our driveway and I've seen it tear old garages down if its got enough water

Another great video, my good sir. I really enjoy your style of storytelling. From the Big Island of Hawaii, waving my five... 👋

Another Great video ❣️ safe travels, I visit there in my dreams ✌️💚✨️

Great show, loved the previous horned god segment and how you survey the godscapes and nature

I really enjoy listening to your folktales. Keep up the good work. And have fun in Morocco. Try not to get your head cut off 😅😅

Cheers/diolch/slàinte!

funny, my name is tristan. great video

You probably get asked this all the time (please forgive if you have 🙏🙏🙏) but have you ever written (or have ) a book about all your stories? Your style of storytelling is so engaging (and at times very funny) and it’s lovely just to get lost in these ancient stories for a short time.🙂

Holly and ivy yep

My engagement ring has ivy leaves decorating it. Originally it was oak leaves, but my partner asked the jeweller to change it. Knowing the symbolism now makes it feel even more special. Loved the video, it was so interesting.

delightful video, i really enjoy your style and pace! c: i promised myself i would get some ivy tattooed on my arm when i go three months without smoking weed (on day 3 as of writing this). i didn't know much about the symbolism behind ivy until watching your video, but judging from its meaning it seems i made the right choice! (especially where it will be around/alongside the snake i got after going 3mos without nicotine c: )

Lovely video! I'm over in USA and you're right it's viewed harshly here but I love it! The old vines provide so much support to the environment. Berries come when there is little other food for the birds and the flowers come before others to provide for the pollinators. ❤❤

Just a thought, you raised it with interconnectivity, in the Norse Futhark the letter G is Gebo. It is associated with love and giving. We still use it, mostly without realising, as it is represented as our letter X-we put it in correspondence as kisses to show affection. This feels like a link to the way you talked about Gort perhaps?

Thank upu once again enjoy your little holiday xx

Awaiting for the next video❤

I read it

I had an ivy houseplant for the past 6 years, it always did well. Then this winter is has dried up and died- I could find no reason why. Does ivy have a short life-span? How long does a single plant typically live? Love your channel, btw, and thanks for sharing the personal anecdote about your dad removing the ivy from the family farm. Sorry to hear of your mom's passing

Sunyata and Annica are very important

Moved into a new house with my ex (we had been together 15 years and have a child, living as though we were married). Garden was covered in ivy. Ex insisted the ivy had to go, much to my protestations. Not two years later we split up. He was sacked/made redundant and now his mums partner is dying of cancer. Never stripping ivy again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’d much rather English ivy than poison ivy. (I have both in my yard unfortunately).

Check out Berber folklore when you are in Morocco.

Que pasa

Interesting , so the name poison ivy is unfounded,,

Sorry to hear about the fate of your mother etc, i do not believe in coincidence, we are part of the land, it feeds us, and it will take us when we die.
