I think it's wonderful that Irish folklore even has an explanation for why some artists are driven, half-mad, and die young. It's oddly beautiful.

Stop trying to make Fetch happen 😝

Particularly enjoyed the moving pictures at the start.

Thanks so much!!😊

06:30 The Ahjualune means "The One Under the Oven" 09:25 The Allikaravitseja means "The Spring Healer", also I don't think we have "hot springs" 13:45 Virvatuli also appears in British mythology, dragging people into the swamps as a glimmer of light 17:35 Vanatühi is aka Vanapagan aka "The Old Devil" 18:35 Ebajalg is aka "The Peg Leg" 19:00 Murueit means "The Grass Hag" 22:40 Kivialune means "THe One Under the Rock"

Amazing video thanks for sharing this.

Wow im glad ive watched this after ive just been on the dunes at night getting some night shots of the castle with the milky way behind it. I felt comfatable despite no one around 😂😂

Sounds like this is the prequel of Kalevala. I was aware of kelevpoeg but not in detail what it was about. Baltic finnic folklore often gets ignored since most of it's in finnish or estonian

Brill but it’s loch not lock 😉

Every day I learn something new from my country😅😅

The way you say Kalevipoeg does hurt my soul but atleast there was an effort

Glad that even with the strong language barrier you're still interested in my fatherland's mythology. Also damn I miss those epic based Kalev adverts, haven't seen them on tv for a long while.

As an Estonian I really liked this vid, even with the pronunciation being a mess, but like my fellow Estonians said: "We don't blame you, we just appreciate word about our folklore being spread."

as an estonian in my opinion all of this is correct and youve done a great research good job!

Tervitusi Eestlastele!

Lithuania still has festivals to their 'old' gods, on paper they were the last to convert officially sometime in the 1400's. I can't work out the native name for a particular festival but searching 'Lithuanian Song festival in Vilnius' will bring up some results. Perhaps you may visit there some day, weather permitting.

Thank you for sharing so much for our country!❤🇪🇪

Hey, you managed to teach an Estonian about his own culture and you did pretty good with the pronounciation so good job!❤

Fantastic video!

Love yur videos!

You are a great contributor to uk history! Bless you!

As a child many years ago, our family had large, joyful Christmas gatherings with music, singing, storytelling and lots of wonderful food. Most popular was the ghost story night, great excitement and an event everyone looked forward to.

is this guy talking the same guy that tells bet time stories good clear voice

Our traditions are mostly common but two of them we think of as our own. When my parents were first married they were poor so our decorations and gifts were from dollar stores for years. During that time they would splurge on two things (aside from a tasty soup for dinner and big breakfast): a trip to the movie theater Christmas evening and eating pizza at Pietro’s the Tuesday after thanksgiving. Even though the size of our family has doubled and my parents have become a little better off we still do these things every year :) Merry Christmas 🎄

There seems to be a lot of lovers, jumping from towers in folklore.

Fun to watch our countries stories told by You. The pronunciation is good enough, though innocently funny a bit :)

One of our traditions is for the youngest in the family to put the baby Jesus in the creche on Christmas morning

Ghost stories became a thing because Christmas day is the day most souls are released from purgatory. Most ghosts are souls in purgatory who need our prayers. Some are souls in hell or demons, but i think that is more rare. So if there is nothing evil going on say a prayer for that soul to be able to move on to heaven.
