Description: if you're interested in supporting the channel this way. Thank you if you do. Part 1: The Meaning of Christmas: Religion, Myth, Psychology | ASMR • The Meaning of Christm...
Santa Claus is one of the last living mythical figures. The image of the modern Santa is derived from a few 19th century children's stories, but the idea these were based on goes back hundreds, and very likely tens of thousands of years into the past of humanity.
Also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, or Kris Kringle, Santa is a legendary figure originating in Western Christian culture who is said to bring gifts to the homes of well-behaved children on the night of Christmas Eve (24 December) or during the early morning hours of Christmas Day (25 December).
The modern Santa Claus grew out of traditions surrounding the historical Saint Nicholas (a fourth-century Greek bishop and gift-giver of Myra), the British figure of Father Christmas, and the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas (himself also based on Saint Nicholas). Some maintain Santa Claus also absorbed elements of the Germanic god Wodan (AKA Odin, Wotan), who was associated with the pagan midwinter event of Yule and led the Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession through the sky.
Santa means "Saint" and Claus is short for "Nicholas." So it's easy to follow the evolution of the 4th Century, Turkish Bishop as his life became a story, and the myth became a symbol for good behavior, glad tidings, and warm gatherings. But, thanks to the author of Santa Sold Shrooms, Tero Isokauppila, the core ideas of Santa's character may have roots much deeper than even early Roman Christianity. Let's find out why Santa may have shamanic origins and a more magical past than the modern image of Old Saint Nick let's on.

a tip: watch movies on kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.

[@johnnybowen7714]

@Louis Jaxtyn Yup, been using KaldroStream for months myself :)

I love your infinitely curious and ingeniously clever yet self critical mind. I’m so glad you’re back to making videos regularly 😊❤️ you’re 100 percent one of the best asmr creators out there

[@jarjarjacobs]

This makes me wonder about what a 6-hour trip-sit ASMR would sound like

[@user-s3ts8my2x]

Asmr to calm down a bad trip or sumthn

[@ollyparker223]

Has he done anything on dinosaurs? If not I need that in my life 😂

I’ve always been looking for educational ASMR and I am so glad I found your channel. You have a perfectly relaxing presence! New favorite!! 🤗

[@juleselizaaaa]

Where are you come back :( hope you're doing well

[@renzo2447]

You owning this book and making this video is all but admitting you've experienced the doors of reality breaking down after nomming on some funny fungi 🙃

[@nestar2009]

Falling asleep to your voice it's the best gift for this holidays

[@liza7497]

your voice is so relaxing and calm and i just love it !

[@FairyFrequencyASMR]

What a fabulous Christmas story book! Just filled a mug with some hot chocolate. Cozying up and listening delightedly. Wishing you an amazing weekend ♡

[@jasongerber6972]

This is a really really great video I seriously doubt I'd ever have read any of this myself thank you for bringing stuff to this channel we would otherwise never see!

[@living11for11love]

Woah. not sure how I haven't found this channel before but I found it while searching for "shroom ASMR"... You're doing good work man, I'm impressed.

[@elveniaasmr]

I can't really put to words how happy i feel i found this channel. Amazing content and sooo relaxing voice. Those videos are totally my genre. Can't wait to listen to more of them! 💓✨🤗 Subbed of course!

[@jouicychaos9389]

Love how you managed the sounds in this video, your deep soft masculine voice to the crackling soothing background sound. Really nice, relaxing, love listening to u read✨🌸

[@edju9968]

Agreed. You really pay attention to multi layers of production. Probably the most relaxing voice for me.

[@saruman3406]

Just to sum up: you're way of doing asmr is mainly what i was looking for, warm thanks from France

[@octopustaco3264]

What’s going on dude?! Hope your Christmas was awesome! Thanks for another upload

[@amyburgo76]

Your voice is amazing. Your brain is amazing. Your delivery is amazing. Huge fan! Thank you for all that you do!

[@jordankamelleri5137]

Enjoying this one already. Whatever happened to your history of nintendo vids? They are a fave

[@iliekslothd6161]

Hey!!! Mr Let's Find Out!!! I love all your videos and they have reignited my want of scientific knowledge as a hobby and just random facts in general :D I wanna say thank you! I hated reading books as a kid with no reason why, but listening to you talking deeply and passionately regarding space and such really made me listen and even made me want to read books on those now... please keep making more videos! Also I have a video idea for ya! what if you did a video on scientific breakthroughs of 2019? or just scientific breakthroughs categorized by the years! that would be pretty cool seeing how humans progressed little by little and even leaps sometimes! Again... thank you!!!

[@sspringNG]

this was great! keep up the good work

[@philbourne7893]

Just wanna say, please don’t ever stop, iv got my favourite and u are in my Top 5 amazing. I learn shit while going to sleep listening to u mate!

This is really interesting!

[@chrisnam1603]

thankyou so dearly, just wonderful (donno why i just did not receive notifications - bell is on), much gratefulness for all you create & give

[@heibejruth]

Where are you dude? I miss you and your amazing voice when im going to bed every night. You have been gone way too long. Its time to come back to me!

[@mEcroboss]

I agree

[@TruthIsTheNewHate84]

I was wondering the same thing. I checked the community tab of his channel and it seems he's been working on kitchen renovations. It says he's working on a video and he'll be back. I just hope he doesnt pull a Heather Feather.

[@fleaship6134]

He sadly passed away in an abseiling accident, it's very tragic. RIP

[@TruthIsTheNewHate84]

@@fleaship6134 no he didnt. When did that supposedly happen?

[@TruthIsTheNewHate84]

@@fleaship6134 You're an asshole. He didnt die. He posted on instagram 2 days ago and he live streamed on youtube tonight.

[@innard8845]

This is an amazing video, wow. I can so relate to it since i’m Swedish, and all these old beliefs and stuff, partly the Sami one (Samer in Swedish). It’s cool to find out that I live in the country that partly contributed to the creation of such an amazing tradition, Christmas is my favourite holiday btw😁

[@aaronstone4360]

Amazing find! Great story. Got to buy it to read the kids when there are older.

[@valen9835]

If I may make a suggestion for a video I recommend moonshots and snapshots of project apollo. it's a really neat book full of apollo program photographs from all the manned missions, with captions for every photo.

[@wyattkohle]

Hi rich, I’m very sorry for your loss❤️🙏🏼 nothing hurts more than losing a dog, sending prayers to you, keep your head up!

I’m sure you get asked this a lot, but any recommendations on cameras / microphones for ASMR content creation? You’ve inspired me to take a crack at it, but I’m uncertain on where to begin in regards to equipment.

[@rosesvonkin9616]

Omg this man is talking about Terrence McKenna.... this is amazing why am I just finding you sir

Wow Santa and shrooms who knew? I’ve never tried shrooms, should I?

[@CausingChaos.]

no

[@possession2]

Yes you should, they are amazing and not like other drugs at all.

[@brittanyvalade6459]

Yes .. everybody should in a magical forest if possibly lol

[@willis32]

If Santa did it they must be good. In reality unless you know what mushroom you're looking for. Dont.

[@possession2]

@@willis32 The spores are totally legal to buy, so its best to grow them yourself instead of mushroom hunting like a boomer😆.

[@kristapochedly1372]

Love your work! Is it really pronounced "Sam-I"? I've always said "Sammy".

[@maxgullberg9733]

It's pronounced Saa-mi. Not samai as in this video. There are several correct instances of the pronounciation in this clip if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SUaauErauIibs

Hey Rich. I hope you are Ok and the lack of uploads is a sign that you are happy! Did you see Man From Earth has a sequel? Have you seen it? I am about to rent it and see if it is as good as the first one! The son of the author wrote it, which is super interesting!

[@LetsFindOut1]

hey 🙂. ive been doing some minor renovations, so hopefully ill be back at it in a weekish. i recently rented it too actually. not as good as the original, but it was a fun story. i hope we get some good scifi writing like the original again sometime soon. hope your doing well lady

[@Mazdean.]

Mans really out here looking like the better, sober version of Logan Paul..

[@vvandavvitch]

35:25 It should be Muscimol not Muscinol slight error in book 📚

[@trevoriusaugustus8199]

You should do some more "let's find out" about some other very interesting psychedelics such as DMT (5MeO & N-N) Ayahuasca (natural DMT brew..discuss its use by amazon tribes) peyote (discuss native american use) and ibogaine (used in Gabon Africa & can be used to treat opiate addiction) I personally went to Mexico and participated in a gnarly 36 hour ibogaine trip for heroin addiction so I can vouch for it's efficacy! These would be great videos and information society needs to hear. .even if it is to their subconscious as they sleep.🤗🤗🤗

Can you pls do a video on language history and how it relates to human migration and haplotypes across earth? 🙏🏻 Using Proto-Indo-European as an example and going back through time from each branch and when they were still connected. Then comparing that with other language groups across earth and connect it with human migration. Would be great to watch.
