Thanks for posting, this was very interesting and informative. I especially liked the musical lilt of the voices of the old people, that music has gone out of us completely.

We still do this today, on a Sunday after mass many folk go to a sacred well or tree and make an offering. Christianity is fairly skin deep in Ireland.

Very good work. You might consider highlighting key words (particularly old Irish words) on the screen with text so the listener can see them and read them. It would help with absorption

Fascinating stuff. The Tree is an ancient symbol of The Goddess.

Really interesting. I love trees and I love hearing the lore of older people. I love 'he didn't hang himself in this tree.'

Pattern Days were a feature of my childhood. You walked around a Holy Well and stand of trees reciting prayers.

I dont mean to offend you but maybe try turning voice up and background off. I cant really follow most of what you are saying on phone speakers.
