One thing I love about Welsh and Irish myths is that magic is more like abilities then what a lot of modern neo pagans would view magic being. Like Kai/Cai and his ability to hold his breath, or the heat that radiated from him so no item he held even during rain would become wet.

[@KrisHughes]

Aye, there's a similarity between how Arthur's little band or heroes are described and the idea of "the people of skill" in the Irish corpus.

I really hope you get more subscribers. You deserve them. ❤

[@KrisHughes]

Aw thanks!

[@Davlavi]

You say main channel do you have other channels?

[@KrisHughes]

No - I really just meant the way KZbin tends to treat videos that were originally livestreamed quite differently from those that are uploaded. I realised that wording was a bit awkward when I said it!

[@Davlavi]

@@KrisHughes Thanks for clarifying.

Loving your site. Its grand. But I disagree about the cow and sacrifice. The traditions in the Middle East, where the Celts originate, are for twin princes born to the Mother Earth. The cycle is for the Mother Earth Queen to marry one of these earlier twins. The King is to be periodically sacrificed, reflecting the cycles of seasons, both annual and 18 year metonic cycles. Then she marries the second twin. I think that the King sacrifice as a representation for cyclic time is vital to the world continuing to cycle. The cow sacrifice is a stand in. No accident or misrepresentation at all.
