The Hand of Irulegi - Basque Mythology & Traditional Folk Magic

On this video I shall adress a recent archaeological finding, the so called "Hand of Irulegi" found in Navarra, Northern Spain, on an Iron Age context. I'll take the opportunity to talk a bit about this discovery and its importance to Basque History and Language, as well as adressing a few conceptions and beliefs from Basque Mythology, Belief Systems and Tradtional Folk Magic that may shed some light on the nature of this finding. Hope you enjoy it, my dear friends.

Wow I never thought I would see the day when proto basque writing would be discovered, cool✨✨✨ I definitely want to see more videos relating to basque culture and the Iberian peninsula ✨✨

[@Biscaine]

to us Basques this was among the greatest of news but for us some of us ,should I say, more romantic ones I've so often I dreamt of how awesome would have been if our wonderful lingue Navarrorum would have survive to our days in a non latin alphabet, but maybe an iberian semi-sylabarium preferably the septemoptrional scrypt. But the Eskua (hand) of Irulegi is like finding that which was true at some point in history. This is like the finding of the Holy Grail of the Eskuera ( the way of HAND) language. Sorioneku!

[@AlexWerner42]

Spent the Covid confinements in the Northern Basque part (French side). Knowing nothing arriving there, the first thing I did is to look for information about mythology. The reason being, nights are clearly special there, you feel internally like if the place is full of wonders. It’s like the place vibrates. Really advising people to go there if they can ! (Aim end of spring, it rains non stop the rest of the time :p)

I look forward to visiting Basque Country. Having been enlightened by DNA that my origin is Basque of Irish lineage, County Kerry. This explains much, including my Blood type and traits. Ireland and Basque Country, what a rich heritage. Although I know we are eternal Soul Energies having a Physical Life Journey in these Human Vessels, I'm so fortunate to have been taught to appreciate my lineage. It will be so appro-po when it is realized that "the Basque truly are Peoples of Atlantica" Beth USA

[@hawklord100]

I saw a video on TED the other day which was discussing and introducing the 'symbols' found in caves in pre-history 55,000 - 22,000 BC right across western/northern europe from Iberia to German caves.. the hand was one of the 32 most represented symbols used and was found in 65% of all caves along with the other 32, there were some interesting submissions on why a hand was so important to be used. We recognise that the symbols were representations to Spirit/the invisible for a purpose to attract or to dispel the natural/conscious energies that work in the Universe, in much the same way we use an antenna to attract or broadcast energies

[@edoboleyn]

Who was the speaker? I read a book on the subject from a woman who investigated symbols throughout Paleolithic caves. As for the popularity of the hand as a symbol … not everyone can draw and paint well, but everyone can slap their hand on the cave wall, blow pigment around it, and form a silhouette.

[@michaelhamilton9408]

Interesting info. Here is an idea. Its a multifaceted power source having a unique resonance. The object then being infused consciously and physically during daylight hours with intention. Showing how we as geo-magnetic people are sustained and protected by mother earth. It will naturally repel those of unlike intent and be a beacon at night offering shelter to any with good intent. I wonder how developed the ear could've been? Imagine being able to naturally pick up geo-magnetic impulses to travel to a specific resonancial location that matches your intention. Possibly hear the frequency?

[@KarlKarsnark]

Great discovery. The stylized shaped and concept of an inscribed hand that can either welcome/ward off evil reminds me of the Hamsa tradition from North Africa(Phoenicia) and the Middle East. Perhaps, even as far back as Innana in Mesopotamia. At one time it was even known as the "Hand of Mary", "Eye of Horus", et. al. Something about and open hand speaks to us on a deeply symbolic level. Cheers!

[@Cucal86]

Greetings. I want to congratulate you for all the work you do, thank you. As an extra note: The Spanish language is a combination of Ibero/Basque with Latin. The vast majority of words used in Spanish have their roots in Basque, you just have to take the word in Spanish, transfer it to Basque and use the Etymology... you would be amazed at the meaning of each word and how our ancestors thought and interacted with them. the world around them. If you have time, you could watch a video and observe how the first men on the Peninsula used the natural sound of things to create definitions of what was observed and thus materialize the sound using the letter "Z". We have a clear example with the Pyramids of Giza, where Giza literally means "Humanity", curious, right? Even though it is thousands of kilometers away, it seems that Ibero/Basque was the first language adopted in those places.

[@Tipi_Dan]

There are many holes--- blank areas--- in default historiography. One of the most glaring and important concerns those contributions of the Atlantic cultures in their own times. This can be easily attributed to the historical dominance of Mediterranean-, Levant-, and Mesopotamia-centric archeology and orientations. It is time, however painstaking, to repair those holes and fill in the blanks.

[@josuhuarte4452]

Thank you so much for this video, trully. As a basque person i have never seen an outsider speak about our history mentioning the term "Xenophobia". It's true, we ARE targeted.

Awesome video Arith. Thank you for the update on Basque culture. I love how one hand/two hand open palm symbolism seems to be in every culture humans went. It's like a common thread that transcends language.

[@jodiezammit333]

I was thinking about this as I listened, and it occurred to me that as we beckon someone we show the back of our hand. The back of the hand could be a sign of welcome. As we ward off we show the palm. But interestingly, when we are startled, we might cover our chest or stomach with the palm, so, theoretically, the back of the hand facing out could also be inwardly protective. Also, five digits represent five elements. Thank you for your content. Always educational and fascinating.

[@haitzkarakuelotsoaaspuruko7997]

In modern basque "zorioneko" means "lucky" rather than "good luck". "Good luck" is "zorion", literally "good bird".

[@pekojounin]

Isn’t good luck “zorte on”? Zorion is the term for “happiness”, hence the congratulatory term “zorionak” or “zoriontsu”

[@txipiron]

The Roman Empire was well aware of the divination of the future through the flight of birds in the sky that was practiced in "Vasconia", having a good bird or a bad bird in proto-Basque is literal :)

I thank you so much for your generous interpretations and content on the ancient past practices. There are so many that claim to "know" so much. But the truth is, so much has been lost, adapted, purposely falsified, and remains unknown. It's great to, at times, just understand our differences and similarities through the past and practice today with the best intent for tomorrow.

Hi, Arith! Fascinating finding, it's a pity that you could not be a member of this excavation group, but luckily you had some friends there, and maybe you had access to informations before other people did 😊 this one seriously look like a blessing charm, it reminds me a bit also of the "hand of Fatima" used in middle eastern culture, but there you have two different versions, one looking a bit more like a hand, the other extremely symmetrical, with "thumb" and "little finger" curling outside...I know that in some cultures every finger have a magical meaning, or a spiritual one, so I wonder if that is the case here too, even if some fingers are probably damaged because of age... When you started talking about the sun "warding off evil spirits", I thought about the Hobbit too 🤣 we are slightly nerdy, both of us! Glad to see you are back home, even if it still needs some fixing...hope they'll be done soon, winter is not the right season to live in an open house, especially since it's snowing there (here it's way warmer, but it has been raining since last night and I surely wouldn't want to switch place... 😖) On a totally different note...after being desperate about my cat's death, and being uncapable of functioning, I've decided to adopt a couple of kittens...so, this Friday, my house will become a home again, with the happy presence of Fylgja (I wonder if this name will remind you something...?) and Gandalfur the Red 😁 I'm seriously waiting for it!!!

That's incredible! I have tried to post a message, and three times it has been blocked or censored. I do not understand why. This was the message (without the final part, the link): «I found this video recently. We have been working on the investigation of the Hand text since fall 2022. Written in archaic Basque, according to our interpretation the text is made up of two parts: two short sentences that are greeting formulas, in the first and last line; and two other sentences, the central lines, which are a description of their way of life. We have segmented 15 elements (not 5 words), into 41 signs (not 40). We have carried out in-depth linguistic research, from Basque, gathered in 12 chapters, with abstracts in 5 languages. But our research still has no official recognition.» If this message is not censored, I will publish (somehow) the link in a following comment.

Kaixo My grandmother was from Nafarroa ( Navarra) The evil spirits couldn't avoid to count the endless hairs of the flower, as you say, and this amulet and use of it has travelled through the pyrenees, so arrived to northern Catalunya. Do you know something about the "agotes"?, they are kind of a etnia between the bascs, they say they were cursed and have special body characteristics. When I see pictures of them I feel something weird. I don't know how to describe it. Thanks for your work. Another interesting place for you to explore in Euskalerria is "la Sierra de Urbasa". Take a compass, some food, blanket and water so. Just in case.

Zorioneku deneke beegirraterren oTirtan ezeakarri erraukon. Everything other than oTir- has a transparent meaning, although in some cases it has more than one possible meaning. Everyone talks about the first word, but the second, third, fifth, and sixth are not that hard. denek could be either den+ek, "Who is" lucky being the subject of a transitive sentence, or a potential deneke, lucky "may be." begirateren is either from "begiratu" "to look upon/watch," or be+egirateren, in which case the verb is egin "to do"; in each case we have -ren the genitive case marker afterwards, but the nominalization of the verb is slightly different from in modern Basque. I like your version eki+ate "sun-door" as well, but it makes denekebe lack a transparent meaning. ezeakarri can mean "not to bring," or if it's segmented as oTirtanez eakarri, "to bring." erraukon is almost certainly related to dial. draukot, "causes to have"/causative of the all-purpose auxiliary izan. It could for example be a subjunctive, which would be appropriate for an invocation. Ikus. adibidez Gabriel Aresti, Juan Ramón Jimenez, Ezer Ez.

Arith, interesting topic. I am Spanish and Ute.

[@jeffatwood9417]

I think protection as well as generosity relate to the hand, especially an open one. Tyr losing his hand in the wolf's mouth is depicted like a sweat lodge, the mouth being the lodge and the hand being the 5 elements in alchemical practice. Taming the warrior spirit, sacrificing it while in ciil life is the manner of transmuting the warrior spirit to alchemical exploration. Healing and killing seem to be opposing each other, and many taboos have evolved. The ability to sacrifice, however, is also part of the healing process, especially if you need a shaman to ride the spirit of the animal to get the medicine from the deity associated with riding that animal as a vehicle. Thistle is liver medicine, helping the immune system and detoxing. That makes sense to be a sun flower, since Thunder resides in the wood of the Liver (Chinese medicine, but Ötzi is proof of Acupunture in Mideastern farming culture about 600 years BEFORE the Yellow Emperor (Huang Di) lived according to Chinese tradition. I think it's also important to know that the Germanic runes, when adjusted to their reality, was ordered in a very particular manner completely consistent with the Bagua/I Ching cosmology. Seeing the runes in Iberian scripts long before suggests that Etruscans might be a link between the Levantine scripts, Keltiberia, and Germania. When considering the Etruscans were named by outsiders for their liver divination practices brings me to the sun flower information and thistle as liver medicine. When alcohol is ritually indulged in great quantities, plant medicine for hepatitis, cirrhosis, jaundice, diabetes, and indigestion are very important. I think Chinese Medicine, or at least Taoism in general, is the Chinese interpretation of the cosmological paradigm from the Sumerian temple complexes. Yet, we have not really found the neolithic members of the temple complexes that we have been finding in Turkey, Eastern Europe and Indo-Iranian networks. Like the New World temple complexes and their trading/pilgrimage networks, I'm pretty sure we will continue to find sites that point to such networks in Neolithic Old World. I think Huang Di refers to Yamnaya-like blondes bringing a certain refined cultural influence, although Qibo was his doctor teaching him wisdom of herbs and medicine. Between the Bagua cosmology and Semitic lettering the cosmological foundation for Germanic paradigms must be seen as an alloy of everything they ever experienced as a group, where individuals journeyed out to find wisdom and bring it back...just as the last half of the first ætt suggests (R-K-G-W), the action taken to resolve the chaos created by the "mistake" that was sacrificing the bull, Ymir, the sacrificed Lord of Death who gives forth Life ("Water is Life") with his spilled blood. See Kingu in Mesopotamian myth. The Hand of God, with the eye in the middle of the palm, is a common warding charm. The Hopi have a hand sign to which Pahana (Elder White Brother, a Hopi Quetzalcoatl) was supposed to know how to respond in order to be recognized as a judging savior or destroyer. Tyr terrorizes the bull when he helps Thor gain a cauldron from his father, Hymir (I've often wondered about Hymir being an older version of Ymir, supporting the meaning of "Hummer" or better yet "AUM-er/Om-er). I just recalled H is the letter sound "O" in this script you are showing.... I Chinese, the left hand is "yang" because South is the direction one faces when starting a Taoist ritual. So, facing South from the Northern hemisphere, the Sun rises on the left side and sets on the right side, considered yin. This practice also aligns the heart (on the left side of the chest) with the rising Sun. The heart is considered the throne of the King who unites Heaven and Earth, and from this throne the one who sits in it is considered "Chieftain of speech" since the heart rules the tongue in Chinese medicine. The sound "ka/kha" is the thing weighed in Egyptian religion after one dies. It's like the psyche of the soul of that particular body. This sound is also produced by the last exhalation of life...the name of the Holy Spirit, "Ansuz" ["the castle aaaaaarrrrrr" LOL]. Anyway, the yin hand is the healing hand as it manifests divine will upon the earth, like the finger that turns the pages of the Torah, or touches Adam in the great mural. This arrangement is why the Chinese compass has South on top. It puts East on the left and West on the right. Fire begins in the East on the pre-heaven arrangement of the Bagua, but moves to the South in the post-heaven arrangement, which refers to the retreat of the Sun during winter. Water is in the West first and moves to the North as frozen Winter sets in during the retreat of the Sun. All this relates in the cosmology of the Luoshu, the 3x3 magic square which is the cornerstone of all ancient magical systems, even being the foundation for an expanded version as Indian astrology. Pythagorean 12-step octave goes along with this cosmology in that his harmonics are 25 steps, or like tattvas in India that are "24 sounds and silence." The 8x3 of the Bagua trigrams are reflected in the cuboidal paradigm depicted in the Atomium in Brussels. Each vertex connects to 3 other vertices and the center, itself connecting to all the 8 vertices of the cube. The planes of the sides, like the numbers on dice, are the 6 outer seas that connects 4 vertices at once. Looking down or up at the Atomium, one sees the 6-pointed star with the top, bottom, and middle points aligned in the middle of the star. Therefore, we see the divine family of 8 having 6 children in charge of the Material world: a masculine and feminine trinity unites upon the throne to make the heart chakra symbol. The Hand of Tyr symbolizes his domination over the Bull helm of the Temple-priests of Mesopotamia or the pirates of the Sea People. It is described by Tengrists when they say "Tengri has many forms, like 5 fingers make 1 fist." Obviously, Tyr was extremely important to preliterate European paradigms.

wow how exciting!! looks like runes

[@edoboleyn]

Are we sure the hand is purely “indigenous” and not an adaptation of the “hamsa” symbol that was, by then, endemic in North Africa and the Middle East? The Phoenicians reached Iberia around 1500 BCE, with colonies in Spain and Portugal, where their version of the open right hand has already been found. If Germanic and Iberian runes trace their origins back to the Phoenician alphabet, I have no doubt an open right-hand could, too. The Basque language is an isolate and a pre-Indo-European survivor, but as you wisely point out, their culture isn’t a fossil in a bubble. I’m not saying it couldn’t appear without outside influence-the hand is after all universal. However, the presence of Phoenician colonies in the same region and this object’s use as an amulet in precisely the same way people from Israel to Carthage were using it (on thresholds) suggests a connection. I haven’t finished your video so apologies if you address this! Thanks as always for the excellent work!

i have been interested in fairy tales for a long time. finding out about where they originated and the meanings involved is so fascinating. i could link them up to many fairy tales i know. the🤢 idea that the boy gets power through speaking to animals, i never thought of that - for instance, Puss-in-Boots. 😼 one question, tales about grown children often have 3 to go seek their future lives with sisters and brothers. (sisters usually end up taking care of an older lady earning their various deserved gifts, rather than going after gold or marrying a princess and her kingdom.) only Cinderella tales seem to end up with a prince in Africa, Europe, and even China. only a Native American tale, still with three sisters, involves a god, the sun god, living on earth.

Wow this info is amazing, eskerrik asko.

[@joutavainen2920]

when i was eying through the basque etymological dictionary i noticed they have a similar word for ancestor as the uralics. asaba, at least if it´s as-aba, because aba or ava in uralics means mother or older sister (latter part of many goddess names and name of sacred totem animals like the ptarmigan). many other similar words too (the x-languages) but of course could be co-incidence (unless it´s true that the fringes survived of old european languages, because if you listen to caucasian languages they have the x too). another dictionary i recommend is the hungarian etymological dictionary (both free pdf´s) from where i got many good uralic words, the sumerian ones i just cruely deleted (one man´s treasure). the actual hungarian dictionary, it will take years to read through (many old goddess names there, truly multi-cultural area).

[@joutavainen2920]

it´s so funny to me when they (academics) argue whether hungary is of sumerian, turkish or finno-ugric origin. of course it´s more sumerian or southern, hungarians have the least in common with all the northern (uralic) peoples. in the north it´s more a question of separating pre-uralics (aboriginal northerners) from the later uralics (peoples that came from the east or south later). so in that sense it´s the same as with the basque, we have relatively little of the actual northern vocabulary left (but we have the people and the nature around us). it´s not about inventing words, it´s about living the life! (have at you, all you pesky written cultures)

[@joutavainen2920]

or to put that into language that can be searched, it´s not about the nenets people, it´s about the sihirtia (сихиртя) people (and all the other paleo tribes). personally i do like the nenets, a lot (that´s as real as it gets in the north, even the sami don´t live like that anymore). what i was trying to say there please do a google picture search on the nenets, then start picturing if some of their words come from sumeria. because even if they do (some of course do, language comes from all over) it makes absolutely no difference, because to fit their life it would have had to completely transform. that is what people who make those crazy language theories often miss, the power of the environment. even for hungary sumeria is too far to actually influence things now, in the past maybe more, now not so much.. it might even be more slavic now, i don´t know, never been there, beautiful people.

[@joutavainen2920]

also it´s about what part of language you study. if you only compare words about southern technological inventions then of course you only get southern loan words. however if you compare words about northern bird calls then you get words about northern bird calls (can only be compared against birds of other northern areas). the same is true for the basque i think, the real language is there.. it´s just that maybe they didn´t want to find it, they wanted to compare it against others.

Okay so the freaking week i found out my grandmother was bausqe a freaking red hair grew on my chin no joke thick as hell and bright i was so proud thought it was a reward for figuring figuring out where we come from like we Mexican Michoacán and Guerrero but some Iberians left they're DNA and Names and I'm just great full to fill the gaps with answers and not suffer further from the diaspora

[@pariahthistledowne3934]

Awesome stuff! Seems Ogham must be preCelt Native Hibernian origin. I have always been curious to learn more about Iberian Prehistory, as i feel deeply that Hibernians and Basque are closely related. And not thru Celt admixture alone....but before the Horsemen came.

i have rh-n neg blood an im wondering if you can digg in to that an the legends behind the basque an all to do with it ,, idk just wondering

[@spiritjourneyofthewhiteche9394]

Robert Sepehr mentions the Basque people a lot on his channel. Apparently they have the highest concentration of our Rh negative bloodline. We've got a lot of hidden knowledge in our veins, lol. Peace, One Love One Light!

It’s very intersting. They are our closest European relatives (I’m what is called ‘black Irish’. We have something we hang on our houses to ward off evil eye too - St Brigid’s cross.

Please see the Takeuchi Documents by Kosada Wado (he has passed away, but I think his wife is alive. On the first Volume of the documents ( Takeuchi Docments I) on page 131, he has a pyramid stone with script and the Ka, Ku, Ki, Ko is noted in his translations. The Native Americans have the Ka in their language. A wonderful book on documents that are have been protected by the Shinto priests in the nation of the Risiong sun, with the sixteen rays of the Chrysanthemum ( yes like the watch). The script within the documents is very interesting. Since its supposed to be very old and they use vowels. From what I understand it was the Phoenicians that introduced vowels. Who introduced the Ka, Ki, Ko, Ku really? It began I propose in ancient ancient times and our sea faring Phoenicians and Basque have similar Ka etc. as the Egyptian hieroglyphs. Hope you like the documents. Interesting and unbelievable but believable. Thank you young man for your videos. I am not a scholar. I just love linguistics and learning our ancient ancient tongues. I am Basque on both my great grandfathers side. I am American. I also have Huichol and Cherokee from my great great great grandmothers. Thanks again.

This week another piece has been found, this time written in Latin, but dedicated to a Basque goddess: Larrahe. A stone altar from the first century.

[@417hemaspringfieldmo]

Is there an update on the translation of this inscription to date?

[@Artxoazuria802]

It seams that the "Hand of Irulegi" was at the door of a house (greeting people). My translation is: Sorioneku= happy, lucky N= I, me Ðenek ebe= even all of you, all of you too (basque from the province of Bizkai) Ekirate= Person's name. It does exist today Irati and Irate (as names of a person), and Eki is well kown with the meaning of Sun (Eguzki) Ren= of, or better sajons genitive, as in " my father's house". Otir_tan, Ota is today the stick used as a shelter by hens, and chicken, and iri is city. Translation= Shelter?? tan= in Eseagarri= esangarri, eleagarri. Something that deserves to be said. Eraugon= eragon= take your time in, dedicate your time to. And my translation:" Lucky me, all of you too(even all of you), in Ekirate's shelter. Dedicate yourselves in (speaking) something that deserves to be said". Greetings from the Basque Country.

This inscription can be read / decıfered with Göktürk Alphabet easily. I wonder ıf someone tried to read it previously. As Proto Bask language is very similiar to Proto Turkish language it could be helpful. One may ask what is the relation like but ıf you check above mentioned alphabet you will understand what I meant .

[@MrcosRodriguez]

The Hand of Irulegi is a testimony of Preindouropean heritage of Iberian peoples, but not only for Basque people but for all

[@worm_vaquero]

Home again, home again, jigity-jig!

Thank you very much for the information. I have newly developed a deeper curiosity regarding the unique heritage of the Basque people. How far can you go back? Is there any discovery that the Basque people may be descendants of Atlantis?

Translation of the "Glosas Emilianensis" (more than one thousand years). They were found in a monastery of Rioja, in the south of the Basque Country. It seems that they were short explanations, given by the monks, when they were trying to translate a text written in Latin. The sentence: "Izioki dogu, guek ayutu ez dogu" Izioki= This verb appears in a text of the XVIII century, meaning to enlight, to give light. Today it does exist Iziotu and izitu with the same meaning. Ayutu= Ayitu (pronounced as it is by the genuine basques, farmers)= to understand. And the translation is: "We have enlighted, but we haven't understood"

[@scienceownsimposters2142]

So the mythological hand of irulegi was discovered and people still want to believe the official history over mythology?Mythology is the version of history of the Basques because our version of history is the real history.This is not even a discovery but confirmation of who we are now confirmed by DNA and anthropology,etc.People are so blind it is sad

[@maiarostiashvili6489]

If you say that the whole place is Iberian, then it is not only Basques, is it Iberia, Georgia? It turns out that the people living in that place are Iberians.

[@KevinBrady-fy3cx]

Like the Red Hand of the O’Neill clan?

[@Wedneswere]

that script - just enough like phoenician, and just enough unlike phoenician, to break my brain. and if you use it to imitate our alphabet by cherry-picking from its forms, then you'd have a script like rhaetic - which looks just like you-know-what.

[@MrcosRodriguez]

It is one of the primitive Vasconic dialects that were part of the Iberian, not Basque (modern) language that is latinized and Spanish loan-taken

Anna Mae Pictou (Aquash) was murdered while being confined by A.I.M. (American Indian Movement) in 1973. During that time, Leonard P repeatedly threatened her and put a gun in her mouth. He admitted in front of her that he shot one of the FBI agents, killing him. Anna Mae was later found deceased from a gunshot wound. Her identification was found in attorney, Kenneth Tilsen's possession. LP was arrested and charged with the murder of both FBI agents and sentenced to life in prison. At the time he claimed that it was his honor to not turn in whoever shot the other agent and he would take his sentence as part of his commitment to the injustices against Native American people and particularly those in Pine Ridge South Dakota. He has spent decades complaining and asking to be released while never taking public responsibility for his actions. None of those people in AIM have. Some have died in the years since their standoff at Wounded Knee in 1973. Russell Means, Dennis Banks and other leaders have died in the meantime. AIM was founded in Minneapolis Minnesota to help address some of the corruption by non -Native agents on reservations and corrupt Native tribal councils who exploited their own people. A.I.M. leaders weren't perfect and they have never taken any responsibility for their actions. I have a younger brother and sister (we share the same mother but different father) whose father testified at the trial of Wesley Bad Heart Bull in Custer. When the verdict cleared Wesley's accused murderer A.I.M. who were present as a show of support, rioted overturning police cars and other acts of violence. My siblings father was arrested a year later and then found dead in his cell of an apparent suicide. My siblings grew up without a father because of his association with AIM which made him a target while the leaders used their celebrity to go off to be in the movies. Anna Mae wasn't the only person found dead after being held and confined by LP and others. There was a black man who had arrived in the area trying to support AIM and the takeover at Wounded Knee. For whatever reason, LP believed he was an informant which is what he accused Anna Mae of being. Anna Mae's daughter has spoken out about what happened to her mother on Facebook and will be addressing a Canadian commission on First Nations people because Anna Mae was a Mik Maq from Nova Scotia Canada. Times have changed and people have forgotten what happened there and many are being sold this story of how innocent LP is. That's not accurate or true. Those of us who understand the truth know that there is no way anyone who supports Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (4 out of 5 Native American women experience violence and are murdered at the highest rates of any demographic of race and ethnicity) and also support A.I.M. If you are going to bring up LP, then people should know both sides of the story because it's ridiculous how he is being elevated to mythical status. He doesn't deserve that endless fawning. I say this as someone who has had relatives in prison for violent crimes. Sometimes people who are incarcerated are where they should be in order to protect society.

I'm surprised to see you talking about Basque language and culture, since they're not very closely related to Norse.

[@ExcaliburOfYuletide]

Going back in his video list, you might see all different videos on varying religiosities. Sometimes as a comparison, and sometimes just for the interest of it on its own. Since he is Portuguese, he sometimes does videos of the ancient Monoliths and symbols around his country and talks about the Iberian Peninsula quite a bit as well. I actually went back to the beginning of his playlist once and watched every video in order of posting, until I was caught up. I was a student at the time, and it helped me with inspiration for my homework quite often. lol

Hand of Irulegi an apotropaic CHIRAL hand intended to hang above a door to bring good fortune is very similar to the apotropaic Ahimsa Hand found in Jainism which is also a promoter of the CHIRAL swastika idea ... and close by we have the apotropaic Hindu Trishakti symbol which features together 3 symbols the trisul, OM, and again the CHIRAL swastika idea, the trishakti is also meant to be placed on the door frame ... for good luck, wealth and prosperity ... you gotta be a fool not to see the common denominator .... have a nice day
