Hold on ... Let me take a Selkie 🤳

I LOVE the secret of roan inish! Such a masterpiece of story telling and cinematic glory

As hard as this is to hear it I think at this moment is what I needed to hear I am Soo glad I let this play out.

more on that selkie song I mention mainlynorfolk.info/steeleye.span/songs/greatsilkieofsuleskerry.html

You pulling out the hetro effect in all of our worlds tells me I need to listen to u. I was lucky enough to meet a lovely young lady who said listen to u. The selke trad is the first thing I listened to. U are amazing and very full of knowledge. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

just wanted to say thank u so much for this channel i love it so much. im actually from scotland , currently writing from the west coast!) thank you for this video i love selkies and ive always identified with them in a way..i always thought that the stories about selkie brides were perhaps an expression of strange or uncommon women who were from other places, misunderstood by the people in the places they lived, homesick for their own land.. also omg my dad used to sing the sule skerry song to me all the time!

"A water cat with the morals of a seagull" hahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The book you mentioned is 'Secret of the Ron Mor Skerry', by Rosalie Fry.

I find it fascinating that there are still families that claim to be descended from Selkies - If you are interested in doing so please talk more on fairy ancestry in another video!

There was another movie made around 2001 called The Seventh Stream that featured a selkie. it had Saffron Burrows as the selkie. A sad, very Irish film. Fiona Shaw is in it, too, as I recall.

Awesome video Morgan 😊😍

Love your videos! Starting on your books. Are wonderful. Thank you for all of your research and information

So fun ❣love that movie The Secret of ronin inish from the 90s I watched it like 6 months ago . Blessings for you and yours, thankyou for sharing ❣

Great topic, Morgan. When I moved to Scotland (from Ireland) I did some research into local folk tales and came across the movie, the Secret of Ron Inish. I liked it so much that I ended up buying the DVD, soundtrack and the book it is based on. Fun fact: Mick Lally also stars in the movie. He voiced Brother Aidan in the Secret of Kells and he was also a bit of an Irish institution from playing Miley in Glenroe.

Thanks for the great info as always :)

I didn't know about this. Thank you for sharing this information with us👍🏻

Could you possibly make a video about mermaids? Had a frightening astral encounter…well, more like observing from a distance of some mermaids that were VERY cannibalistic. Some exotic looking island far out, farmers?. Or local men leading either goats or lamb to the waterside where the mermaids are waiting along with some other beasts that look like bison? but with sharp shark-like teeth. They would then begin to devour the goats/lamb alive while they screamed, some of the merfolk would drag them under first…it was quite terrifying…they could also swim at almost lightning speed through the water and I also saw an older female mermaid threaten a younger one that she would eat her. They were all beautiful like the myths though, but this whole scene was just shocking!

Ty.

Another amazing vid... Thank you... Were do you find these fabulous folklore stories?

Yoo. Just subbed before I'd forget too as I just started the new WDTRG? PEACE out, gonna go finish the Seriah s show

Thank you!! :^)

Have you read Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes Sealskin, Soulskin? I highly recommend it.

Just saw your recent interview and was blown away by your feather experience but most especially your seashell experience. I cannot believe the interviewers did not ask you what type of seashell it was. Do you still have the shell? Was it a cowrie kind? I've experienced the same thing except it was placed under the back tire of my car. I noticed it as I was walking back to my car after leaving the store. I don't know what the message was for them to leave it in the path of my car backing up and crushing the shell. Luckily I spotted it before I got inside the car.

GRMA for all this info! I'm especially intrigued by what you said about the terms for seals and selkies being the same in multiple languages. Do you know if seals and selkies were considered the same creatures in those languages?
