Celtic Views of the Afterlife

The many conceptions of the afterlife found in the Celtic tradition. Not comprehensive and I forgot to speak about the underworld attached to the ancient mounds. I will speak about that specifically in a future video.

I have only one recommendation, you should leave literary sources in the description of videos. As I would love to dive much further into this.

[@IainMcGirr]

Any of the tales of the Oisin Cycle and the Red branch Knights and tales about Cú Chulainn get obviously translated from Irish Gaelige (Irish ) in English

13:33 This is why when taking my Dog's ashes out to a nature preserve that we used to roam, I intentionally carried her remains through the creek, thigh deep, before sparkin a fire and releasing some of her ashes into it with my brothers. It was her birthday a year and a half after losing her before I could even manage it... I know the Cú Dubh will find her as worthy as any.

Well according to a visitation I had from my great aunt who passed several years ago and whispered in my ear in her unmistakable cracked voice... "it's all the same shit twas before"

Thank you for your work, I too have been studying in these fields. It can become quite difficult separating the foreign ideas from my ancestors beliefs. Disgruntled leaf network also had some nice work, sadly he seems to have gone afk.

Would you consider doing a video about Brigantia/Brigid? I'd love to hear your perspective about her. Thanks for all the cool videos

[@richardlongues4695]

He's already done one about Saint Brigid. Look for his vids of some months ago.

[@cynicalb]

yes an IRISH goddess

What a wonderful look at afterlife in connection to many cultures! Thank you!

Many greetings for send this amazing video about encarnations. I believe in that but I need improve better my learning with your explanations. So I wish deepest for my mind and my heart that all The Gods and Goddess bless you always. Sorry for my bad english. I 'm learning English yet.

Daisy Peters also, sorry this language is so confusing. English-speakers have a habit of taking words from other languages and anglicizing them, which probably makes it harder tae learn at first. Yer doing pretty good for a non-native speaker.

Returning to Tir na N OG is the best feeling there is. It's unimaginably good! There you are neaked 10 years old in water that's the perfect temperature on a perfectly sunny day, with a feeling of freedom that can't be experienced in this Dimension. This is why Celts have no fear of death. Why fear paradise.

[@cgrr8090]

I would love a video on Celtic creation mythology

[@FortressofLugh]

Nothing concrete survives, only hints here and there. I could do a video but it would be mostly my speculation based on comparative analysis

[@cgrr8090]

@@FortressofLugh I see, pity it's not well known. I don't know enough about IE creation myths, I know STJ has done a video though

[@Arthurian_Rabbit]

@@FortressofLugh "The Irish Celtic Magical Tradition" by Steve Blamires contends that "The Battle of Moytura" is actually an allegorical creation myth. It's an interesting read at the very least.

[@mercianthane2503]

@@FortressofLugh Please do it, even if it is speculation, would be damn good to hear your own opinions.

[@Sam-lm8gi]

Fascinating. Perhaps you could then say Water in the ancient Celtic world acts a bit like ectoplasm in the Spiritualist tradition; a medium by which Spirits manifest and become embodied. Which makes sense when you consider that the human body is mostly (60%) water, and ectoplasm is supposedly exuded from the body of physical mediums...

[@minilabyrinth]

Nice Majula music!

[@michaelvalor9480]

As to the Etruscan view of the afterlife, there's also the possibility they influenced the Celts,as well. The only reason that I say so is they also influenced the Romans, especially in their views of religion. Indeed,some of the various views of the afterlife may reflect the views of the different peoples the Celts came across

[@zenmasterjack3873]

Very enlightening.

Thumbnail is cool. 😎

[@geoffduke1356]

Has anyone ever made the connection between the ulster Cúchulainn and aztec kukulkan!? Or Dowth and Thoth!?

[@cupboard_raider]

Is the music from Dark Souls 2?

[@nathanscarlett4772]

Yes, it is hollow one

[@kurtbogle2973]

The waters of Tir na N OG is a dangerous place to swim. You could end up here. The water transports us. My first memory Is a blue bubble corridor or worm hole. I'm a reincarnated Druid.

[@Mrcool12684]

dude, you are pretty damn talented with your channel! keep it up man. Also, if you ever do a Welsh video Ill buy ya coffee! Pre roman Wales! thank you for your channel

[@chrisstratfordd]

What’s the background music?

[@kurtbogle2973]

You are not your body. You are not your mind. Your your Concisness. That's your spirit that's the Universe. The Universe that you are.

[@kurtbogle2973]

Some how water is Celestial! It functions all over the Universe.

[@moderntemplar3144]

Did the Ancient Scottish follow these same gods being they are both Celtic and followed the teachings of the Druids ?

[@cynicalb]

mostly

[@mikehutchinson4826]

One single point of contention: I don’t think it’s a matter of either going into reincarnation or something else. Both are examples of reincarnation. Spirits are going to at least have subtle bodies to manipulate reality. It is a form of birth.

[@lucasjackson2086]

Mostly in Celtic belief you were re-incarnated into the "Otherworld" Just sayin

[@homesoundsgood7211]

You don't need references. So much is distorted by language. Lost in translation. You have the Knowing, and no references could be cited. There wouldn't be enough room. It would short circuit the web. 🤠 AldaBeth

Present day Nagamese tribe of India also used to keep skulls of their ancestors and the enemies they killed. The young generation of Nagas are now Christians but some of their ancestors have still preserved their tribal houses/tents and their ancestral belongings... Now, they don't headhunt anymore bcoz the Church tells them not to as there is no need now. But the Naga Regiment of the official Indian army is still proudly known for head hunting... We Indians are proud of the bravery of Naga Regiment of our Indian army... I suggest u visit the Hornbill festival in Nagaland,India. Its amazing. ♥️🇮🇳
