I'd be curious what you'd think of vigils justice. The main character interacts with the fae quite a bit. I believe he had a male impish small pixie like "friend," a Puka, I think. He is an awful little shit, but keeps his word, though he may leave out details.

Nemain , where does this name fit in? Ty very much for this !

I will give you some Make decisions quickly, read quickly, act quickly even sleep quickly. Dont take too lomg falling asleep. They think faster than us. Be straightforward when you want something unless you want to take without asking then do not be straighforward. Always have a plan, even when you do not have a plan , make sure you have a plan for not having one. Also be free and follow your own rules What is left to waste is not wanted and is free game. Keep things even. Do not give unwanted gifts because then they will feel indebted. Being indebted sparks anger because it is a feeling of powerlessness. Be blunt /confrontational. Stick up for yourself, cut to the chase. Just making this up /maybe

This is fantastic. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing these. I'm definitely going to try and get my hands on as many of these as I can. As I've been getting more grounded in my faith I've had this ever growing compulsion to study the sidhe, and I'm getting the feeling that they're probably going to become more and more important in my life. I have mixed feelings about that, to be honest. But, it's been a massive relief to find your channel as I had no idea where to properly begin. Thank you again for all the work you do!!

This is so interesting! I love the idea of the beings following people from a diaspora, and I kinda relate to that experience? I'm French Canadian and my earliest Irish ancestor is my grandfather's grandmother, so it dates back quite a bit. But I remember learning about our ancestry as a young child and instantly feeling a connection with Ireland. Later, I started to work through decolonizing my spiritual practice, so I try to not act as if Irish culture is completely mine to use and I want to be respectful of actual Irish perspectives. But Irish culture impacted my people's culture a lot, so it's reassuring to be able to feel a connection while being part of the diaspora since it has been so important to me since I was a child. Next step is learning the language to understand core mythological texts better 😊💚

Thank you. Springer Link (Palgrave) did have a hardback sale in late 2022 and early 2023, $80 off. Hopefully again!

Thank you lady daimler for the review blessed be 🎉

Thank you! I have Elf queens and holly friars, didn't finish but I'm enjoying it so far.

Thank you for the video and information I'm sure everyone will get these books to study more on fairies

Love your books as well, especially the Morigan ones ❣️

Thank you❤

Thank you! :^)

Its a wonderful day when you post a video. Thank you for book recommendations. I have all your books and im always wary to purchase other books on the fae for fear of misinformation. So this video really helps.

Hi Morgan, I have tried and failed in trying to make contact with the seely court here in Troon Scotland,have left offerings ,food , incense and am now thinking just sitting and either singing or storytelling,could you please suggest any other ways if possible,thanks 😊

Here's a drawing idea. Can't wait to get started on it

You're right its exceptional. As detailed as they are it makes me wonder if they've an eidectic memory...

Really interested to see what you think about the sightings/interactions with fairies here in NZ, The first settlers the Maori around 1000AD were the first to see them and they were completely foreign to the deities /spirits they were familiar with.in their homelands. Maori are dark skinned people with specific cultural practices and the beings that they determined were fairies are completely different in looks, language and behaviours- essentially blond blue eyed hill folk that would enchant people travelling alone and potentially take them to their dwelling place sometimes never to be seen again, i'm not sure that there have been recorded sightings by the 2nd lot of migrants (British} in the late 1700;s, it is certainly not a part of the culture here although Maori certainly believe in their exixtence.

Hey Morgan! What are some fairy / elemental / nature spirits books for someone just getting into them (kind of, I’ve read a couple books already, and watched plenty of videos!) looking for some good books on them. Thank you!

I can't believe I waited this long to binge these videos. This has answered so many questions. Alot of it, I kind of knew but was going with my intuition. I definitely understand now what the confusion with fairies is about. Well, some of it. Lol. They seem more like nature spirits and/or the dead/ancestors. I'm including elves. Of course, there are other ideas, but that's a long story.

One thing that BLOWS my mind is how easily she uses the word "fairies" which I consider an unnecessary disrespect to them. Fairy spirits, fairy beings, fairy folk, fair folk, I mean, I just don't feel capable of saying the word "fairies" four times in a paragraph as if that is not a dire choice.

it appears Culture Vannin also has a youtube channel and when going through their vids, i found this great, recent lecture on 5 aspects of Manx folklore, which i found fascinating and hopefully you and others here will enjoy (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8WigcmLucraZok.html ). thank you for sharing your knowledge and pointing to some great 'further reading' where you came up short. now i have to go read up on bugganes!

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.

Isnt the bean tighe a scottish legend? it is found in Maclagens manuscripts so the myth existed in scotland in the late 1800s. Pages 7310 if you want to check it out. I will say that the myth didnt mention anything about strawberries and cream lol. It was more a creepy ass rolling "thing" that follows housewifes on their daily chores. or thats what I got from it.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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😊)

I had read about Samhaim / Beltain / Moving Day in Seanan McGuires October Daye series, being major celebration for faery. So this was really interesting to kinda see the human perspective.

👍🏻✨🌝

The good folk can be found anywhere and all over the world. The Japanese have Yokai, the Africans have the Aziza and etc... The realms in which they dwell is diverse and faeries of all sort of often shape shifter's. I'm an American black chic who grew up experiencing paranormal and otherworldly episodes. It took years for me to admit I'm psychically inclined, because of trauma and feeling like i was cursed. I've always been weird w/ the feeling of tip toeing between two places. My mother's last name is Scott-Irish and I carry it. The English, Irish and Scottish intermixed w/ people from all over (past/recent); who may not outwardly look like them, but their blood flows the same. Also, I believe people bring their beliefs and gods over...sorta similar to the "American Gods" series concept. The Earth probably was a stomping ground for many beings before humans became numerous. Bridget from Celtic mythology for example is married to Baron Samedhi in the loa pantheon or voudun. The melding of Irish and African American cultures. I grew up seeing faeries abd have had some bizarre ass experiences w/ them. I even met a woman in my dreams who was split down the middle; black and white. Like half of her was shadowed and the other half pale, luminescent and fair. Long wavy Blonde hair and hypnotic blue eyes...like Galadrial. She called our meeting peculiar. The episode was like being half in and half out of awareness. Two worlds were blending. I saw a woman sitting at a piano playing music; while she seemed like a shadowy silhouette w/ flowers growing from head. It was bizarre. There were people trooping playing musical instruments. That took place in a wooded area. It gets weird sometimes. I would think they'd stick w/ their own or maybe its the energy or vibration of the place and people. 🤷‍♀️ If anyone knows the name of the white/black faery queen looking lady or folklore about her....can you please point me in the right direction? Give me a name. Lol

Awesome to hear about all your work and projects!

Thank you Morgan!! Enjoy all of your videos. Currently reading your book on Freya❤

Its true if you have connections with the fae that they choose you generally, not the other way around. I carried out a specific requirement that I agreed to pre life and I just have to keep doing the job until fruition. I won't go into detail but its a blending of fae and human cultures.

I really love book reviews and helps me request good books for my local library. Thank you. Please continue to sprinkle your channel with them.

These book reviews are really helpful and informative. I'm hoping you'll make a video about your own upcoming book 'Fairy: The Otherworld by Many Names' as well (which by the way has a perfectly atmospheric and beautiful cover).

I enjoy those book reviews, I would like to see them every now and then.

take a shot everytime she fixes her glasses

Thank you for the review will have to check it out and good too hear from you again blessed be 🎉

Thank you for the review I always like quality information & good books. It's such an interesting combination of the one book Irish & Romanian. I mean wouldn't she have more similarities with Germanic or Norse Pagans 🤔 just a thought

Nice review. They are on my list for sure now.

Thank you so much! This is amazing.

Oh no! So if my dogs pee in the backyard then I have no chances of inviting them? That makes sense with my previous experiences…

This is by far the best fairy channel I’ve come across and it’s so underrated.

This now makes so much sense!

You know one thing that makes me puzzled? If one day there would be at least a few years here, then the fairy rings would most likely always be active? Why don’t they stay up for longer if they could be dancing for what could be a century for us?
