ANKOU - THE LEGEND OF DEATH'S SERVANT - CELTIC MYTHOLOGY
The Ankou, a legendary figure from Breton mythology, is a personification of death that combines both frightening and protective elements. Described as a skeletal entity dressed in black, with a rotating head and a scythe with an inverted blade, the Ankou travels in a cart pulled by skeletal horses, collecting souls of the dead. Its presence is announced by the creaking of its cart's wheels and the cry of the owl, known as the "Bird of Death". Although feared by the living, the Ankou is also seen as a guardian of cemeteries and a guide for souls in transition.The legend of the Ankou is deeply rooted in Celtic culture and reflects a complex view of death as a natural part of the life cycle.
It is believed that the last person to die in the year becomes the Ankou for the following year, creating a direct connection between the living and the dead. Stories about the Ankou often serve as a reminder of the inevitability of death and the importance of living a virtuous life. Over the centuries, the figure of the Ankou has evolved, appearing in artistic representations, literature, and folklore, maintaining its relevance in Breton culture to this day.

    Very much appreciate this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but despite all the literary accusation that these things exist, archaeologists haven't found any of these bronze bull-headed statues or altars, have they? To my knowledge, none have ever been discovered. ...And one would think there would be many of them, like... At least 5-10? Just saying, if worship of this idol was so prevalent (and abhorred), some of their statuary should've been found by now.

    Wow, talk about splitting hairs on what a psychic and sanguine vampire is....None of these where species, this would of been more of 11 ways a vampire feeds, with the exception of 4. Nosferatu is a specific Vampire from media(WW2). I get there are role playing games that use him as a clan, but that's not a species. Would you call Camellia or Dracula a type? All Vampires where/are human, but not all Vampiric things are. Strigoi where shapeshifters, as where a handful of other types. Still human though. Seductive Vampires is a tv trope. And that is the 4 that are not feeding specifics, though seduction could be seen as a hunting 'type'. This video gave me a laugh. Clearly this was done as a joke. Half these are just psychic vampires being specific about their feeding methods. But none of these are species. When you said the psychic vampire was known as the evil eye and envy, I just laughed. Neither of those things have any thing to do with vampires.... This actually reminded me of a spoof article I came across when looking up types of vampires. It was treated as serious by the journalist, but every thing in it was so far out there, it had to be a joke. I remember they used similar definitions and titles for there list, however, again most of there stuff was not factual, and had no basis other then personal opinion. Though I believe they called them types, still not accurate, but like I said a spoof article. Well at least your Lovecraft videos seem more serious.

    Amazing work. Do you think this myth is an analogy for people hiding in plain sight abusing the vulnerable and rewarding those who help in satisfying his darkest desires and spread his disease so they have safety in numbers? And the warning was an ending that if they become aware that you know, don't agree, and will blow the whistle? How we worship filth but say it's good to keep up the social construct that they can do these things, people know, and everyone involved except the victim and people trying to protect them, is innocent and it's the victims fault for not stoping it?
