I like the fact that you mention Balor, because the only reason I know about him is because of the Dresden Files books. Its about a privet investigator named Harry Dresden who lives in Chicago and is a wizard. Spoilers for books 16 and 17. In the story, the Formorians are an enemy to the magical world and have been plaguing Chicago from lake Michigan. They worship the daughter of Balor as a god and she uses her father's eye as a super weapon. In the books she is described as the last of the Titans, (the Greek ones,) and she feels as though the magical world has gone soft and cowardly. So she sends an army of Fomarians to the city in an attempt to wipe it off the map. The heroes defeat her and Harry hides the eye on an Island named Demonreach. I just thought it was neat that you mentioned him.

I've only gotten into your work recently and can honestly say that my biggest regret about watching your content is that I didn't discover it earlier. The way you present the information you find and back it up with evidence from the sources you read in my opinion is excellent, as too often you get people on the internet just spouting facts without saying where they got them from and just expecting everyone to believe them, and its very refreshing to see a style like yours. Can't wait to see more of your work in the future, but for now, I am happily enjoying binging your older videos.

I'm not a native speaker but I was trying to learn some simple pronunciation rules. These might help you: A C is always hard, there is no K so Cian would most likely be said as Keon & Cernunnos as Ker-nunnos. An H following any other consonent softens it or silences it ex Lugh is Looh (Lou) Si or Se is equal to Sh in English ex Sean (Shawn) or sidhe (she) which demonstrates the H cancelling the D too. Those are the ones I remember most. The vowel combinations still throw me & I know I get those wrong 🙄

I've always been fond of the character Cu Challain (Yet I always have a hard time spelling it) who was said to be both a reincarnation of Lugh and his son at the same time somehow. He was fated to live a very short but tremendously legendary life, and it's a really interesting story. Even if you don't make a video out of it, I think you will find the story itself pretty fascinating to read on your own time should you get the chance, unless you already know it, that is.

Lugh sounds like a mixture of Zeus (cast away by the father and hidden by the mother on an island). As well as Perseus, and David from the David and Goliath tale, and just a little bit of the odyssey, (fighting a ‘one eyed’ cyclops) I’d love to hear more on it all! Research like this is fascinating to me

I think I heard a story regarding Lugh's early life a long time ago, saying that he grew up rather frail, sometimes barely able to walk, and it was foretold that the only way for him to gain strength and live a healthy life, was to be given a name by his grandfather, his father knew this would be difficult, so he made a plan, he brought his son with him to Balor's castle and signed on as a groundskeeper, while the man worked his son would sit under one of the trees and fling stones at the fruits hanging above him, one day Balor came outside to check on the groundskeeper, and happened to spot the boy under the tree, and he became nervous when he saw that while the boy was frail, he had a ridiculously good throwing arm and inhuman accuracy, it scared him so much that he promptly told the boy's father to "Take away that Little Long Arm!"; and right then and there the boy stood straight up and walked out the castle gate, with his father muttering in surprise; "Oh, he has his name now.", hence the boy's name being Lugh Lugalbanda, basically meaning 'Little Long Arm'. just wanted to share what I knew with you.

In the myth, Lugh's father Cian is actually named Eochaid Ollathair or the Dagda, king of the Tuatha de Danann. And the Formorians are depicted as giant ogres.

Theres of course a lot more to each of these creatures you spoke of, so I hope you make a vid dedicated to each one later on. For example, Male selkies often were said to seduce human women and kidnap them in a reversal of the normal human man stealing from the selkie. They also were stated to be able to control storms and would capsize whaling ships with their power, as punishment... one final detail for them is that you can summon one by crying seven tears into the ocean.

Somewhere round 1988, my gran (liverpudlian) told us (midlanders) a story from her grandmother (dublin irish), but she changed some details to keep me and my cousins interested... here's how it went, (i'd love to know more about the original folktales that inspired it) : There was once an old irish king, (when my granny told it he was called "thomas the tank engine", but i think it might be Lugh or Crom), his kingdom was under attack by the velociraptors (i think this was the english when my gran heard it, which was why she changed details, and maybe the formori in the folktale?). The King was very old and frial, he had outlived every one of his knights, and his beard was so long it came down to his knees. He told his people to hide in the castle, while he walked out alone to a stone circle, where he sat down, took out a manky old red blanket and wrapped it around himself (gran did a whole bit where she acted this out, wrapping a blanket over her head like a toddler) and stuck his thumb in his mouth and closed his eyes. (she did that bit too XD ) the velociraptors snuck up the cairn and got closer and closer to the old king, and they all laughed when they saw he was sucking his thumb. they didn't know that long ago the king had used that thumb to catch the salmon of knowledge, and when his sucked on the scar, he could use all the wisdom of the fairy world. the velociraptors snuck right to the edge of the stone circle and the king didn't move, just sat sucking his thumb, with his eyes closed, gently rubbing the edge of the old red blanket with his other hand, they all pulled out their knives ready to attack -but they didn't know where that blanket had come from, or why it was so grubby. If you looked closely at the old blanket, you would see that it hadn't always been red, it had once been white, but was now stained with blood, and if you looked really closely you would see ten faces in the bloodstains, the faces of the old kings knights, because this was the cloak he had lain over each of their faces when they had died in battle. As the velociraptors stepped into the circle, ready to kill the king and steal the kingdom, ten wolves jumped out of the cloak, one for each of the knights, and they stood around the king and howled, and the howl brought a mist from the cairn that ate the flesh of the velociraptors and stripped them down to their bones. the next morning when the people came to look for the king they found his cloak, now pure white again, at the top of the cairn, but they never saw him again, though some say he still waits in the mist, ready to protect ireland from evil, should the velociraptors ever return. "And that" my gran said very pointedly to my cousins and I, "is why you shouldn't make fun of someone who sucks their thumb." I know the salmon of wisdom shows up a fair bit in irish myth (great video btw), and i've heard from a friend (but never been able to find printed sources) that there is a story about a "druid hero" gaining insight by wrapping himself in a cloak and staying overnight on a cairn, and that maybe Lugh had a retinue of knights who could become wolves? Would love to hear any thoughts from you or your viewers about where the ideas come from, and more detailed versions of these stories if possible!
