I am descended from a couple that emigrated to the US from Ireland during the "potato famine" many years ago, so I am interested in learning of my roots. I had not heard of a "fairy fort" before and I thank you for the information. This video had me shook because many years ago I had a dream about a man leading me through a forest and from a hiding place he and I looked out onto a clearing, a meadow of sorts. Out in plain view in the meadow were a group of young men gathered in a circle and I dared not make a sound. I was surprised that each of the young men in the group had wings...some were like bird wings, others had butterfly, dragonfly, and moth wings. When the meeting was over, one-by-one they each took off into the air in various directions. So Derek, when you led us through the forest and the view opened up to a meadow, it was exactly like that in my dream! Weird!

I've always believed in the fairies, and leprechauns. My grandmother told me to always carry silver with me if I go to Ireland. If I came across a leprechaun to offer him some silver so he would know you were not trying to steal his gold.

Very nice well done video! 3 of my Grand Parents were children born to parents who traveled from Ireland to America. My mother bought a house in Co. Tipperary and while waiting for the owner to return from town to negotiate with her observed two, what she thought were 2 children, sneaking looks at her from underneath a huge chestnut tree. Upon the owners return my mom told her about her experience. When the owner heard the description gave my mom a hug and gave her an option to buy the house for less than what was offered! Mrs O'Neil said " my children used to have tea party's with those same two fairies 40 years ago! Greetings from NE Oklahoma.

They’re absolutely real. Many things they want people to think are fake are real, but once people believe and see they will be more likely to discover what humans really are and are capable of as well. And those in power fear that, that’s why they keep people stressed and depressed. They make you work jobs you hate, keep people busy with their phones, and rubber on the bottoms of their feet so the world can’t communicate with us. Same thing with fluoride to calcify your pineal glad. The truth is inside each of us, but we’re so out of tune with self.

I have a book on Irish folklore and in it, it states that fairies would attend cattle fairs and intermingle with us My cousin years ago heard a story told by an old woman. When she was first married she lived with her husband's family. One day she was walking home and heard a noise and there was a little following her laughing and giggling. She walked quicker and he walked quicker too but never overtook her. When she got to the yard of the dwelling he disappeared. She was in an awful state and her mother-in-law calmed her down. In those days you would to the headmaster or mistress of the local school or someone educated. She went to the priest. He said nothing for a while. He did not discount the story. So the he told the woman that if her daughter-in-law ever met the little man again, under no circumstance was she to enter into conversation with him. She never met him again but she had lucky all her life.

I have relations in west Clare they have a fairly fort in one of there fields it is treated with the utmost respect. Some people/strangers to the area have often used the field as a shortcut to the local pub. They have often reported being chased across the field by a bull on entry to the pub in a very shaken state. However the locals all know there is no bull in the field. 😮

I knew these wolves were Fairies because 1. They seemed to have no intent on harming me, or even catching me and 2. It was the middle of a city, no forest for miles and miles.

I've just subscribed to your channel. Very good first video for me. This video illustrates what's wrong with the world. People have moved away from our old way of living in peace with nature. Instead, focus on technology. We have moved away from the spiritual side of life. We think we are all important and have no need for small things and small creatures. Thus we have moved away from peacefully coexisting with nature. Shame on us. If you can't respect nature and little creatures, how can we respect one another. Hopefully, from videos like this, some of us can open back up that second sight to reacquaint ourselves with mother earth and the little magic folk that live within. Great video! Look forward to many more.

Thank you!. It's good to see someone take the fae realm seriously. You tell your story well, and I look forward to viewing your other videos. Your commentary gives me courage to share something odd that I once observed. This happened in southern California about 25 years ago. It was mid-summer. I was a working student, and had just moved into a friend's older house on the edge of one of many deep canyons situated near the university. One afternoon, I sat cross-legged on my bed. I was very tired and didn't know if I'd have enough energy to unpack more boxes that late afternoon. While I sat, I observed a three to four inch, gray, T-shaped figure come out of the wall at the far end of my room. It flew in a straight line, passing right in front of me. It was a bit below eye level and moved on until it reached my small, antique wardrobe. It didn't seem to notice me. It passed through the centre of the wardrobe's double-doors. This wardrobe was rather distinctive. In the inner edge of each door was a half-circle inlay made of oak. When shut, the two half-circles formed a full. The T-shaped being had gone through the closed circle-door. I was a little stunned and simply sat. After a while I got up, opened a door and looked inside. Nothing there. I remember wondering if the creature was a fairy, and if it was ill because it had moved so slowly.

When I lived with my 2 girls in the woods we learned of wonderful beings that no one would believe save for things they have heard of like orbs. We lived without gun or hunting out with the cyotes, bears, giant wolves, and all the other forest dwellers, magical creatures came and danced for us and floated about. Yet sadly people from those parts mostly only traveled the woods with guns and fear or hunting. I learned the difference of mans world and how most people cant see or feel past their belief or fears and saw that I dont realy fit in with "normal" folk and how much more there really is. Alien looking mice with bright glowing eyes would visit to dance happily like silly acrobats on the weeds near me by our cabin to show hapiness and amusment and approval of us as I sat doing things. Beings seem to recognize me now even amoung you where some of them too are here suprisingly , they know and will sometimes show to me here in the lowlands. As if to say what are you doing here too? I must get home to nature again but we lost our cabin and land unable to continue land payments.

I’m 60 and left Ireland a long time ago....but where we lived in Bestfield Carlow near the river Barrow, as a child we were told not to go near the boreen fairy fort, nor touch the hawthorn and white thorn trees in Oak Park...our grandparents were not messing with us either. A strange woman who lived there said she’d fallen down a hole into where the fairies were living, she said she had a grand time there and was forever looking for the entrance again. You see she was found in a field after two days missing in the 50’s and was not the same in the head as when she’d gone with her sister to pick blackberries near a boreen. To her she said it was like years and not days she was with them. Everyone I remember thought as my aunt Kitty said that she had always been a bit ‘queer’ since, yet all believed the story as true. There was no television in those days and these stories flew around the kitchen at night between the family and friends around the cooking range......that naive and yes slightly gullible rural island is no more I fear. I recall a lot of stories like this in those days.

Hi Derek, loved this video! I'm living in Aus and missing home and you show Ireland so beautifully in your videos :) You mentioned here that you read about Celtic spirituality, could you please recommend some sources or books? Thanks in advance!

Nice one Derek. Been away from home for 5 years and finally moving back in a few month. Quick question, what mic setup do you use?
@DerekCullenOutdoors3 жыл бұрын
Cheers. I used a Zoom H1n1 for the talking piece near the beginning and the rest was direct from a Canon G7x with no external mic. I did purchase a whole new setup camera + Mic this week though ;)

Even if you don't believe and think it's just a joke - it's not. There's plenty of testament to say you have to respect fairies and their trees. Ask any farmer.

i mean its not real you can still have a good/feeling around them but fairy forst are just old ring forts people made docent take away from the folklore which is pretty cool

Select a site which you think has a strong presence. Do a very simple task like pour yourself a drink of water and slowly sip it. focus only on the cup and the water in it. Pay most attention to peripheral vision. Do not look directly if you detect movement or strong object. There is nothing sinister to harm you. Have you ever seen a shy child approach a man when he is working? If the man stops and looks directly at the child, the child cries and runs away. leave a little water when you go.

The Polynesians would say the place has Mana! The best thing about the fairies is that they have kept the ancient places protected all these centuries.
@DerekCullenOutdoors3 жыл бұрын
Mana :) Exactly and the mystery (and fear) associated with these places has helped protect them. However, landowners that have such places within their land are also responsible to the fairies for protecting them :)

Hi Derek. I have a question, which is: you said you feel something when you're in a fairy fort. What do you feel? Is it simply mental - as in, you feel a thrill of being in such an ancient place? Or is it more tangible, a difference in the air, a different vibration? I am interested in how being in those locations makes you feel, specifically. I have felt something in a very ancient spiritual place once, something unmistakably different, as if the air was heavier, thicker, and there was a sort of vibrating, electric feeling on my skin. I'm wondering if you've experienced something like that? Just curious, and kindest regards!
