Ive seen some call Silvanus Mars-Silvanus and its kind of given me a theory on a popular Roman myth. Do you think Silvanus was the main god in the Romulus and Remus myth? Because the two were raised by a wolf and then taken in by Farmers two things that are associated with Silvanus? Not to mention their mothers Name was Reyha Silvia and she had her interaction with a deity in a sacred orchard. It makes sense that the higher ups in Rome would like to separate Mars-Silvanus into two separate deities.

Another great video thanks very much love it

Seems to me that the devil dropping stones are a Christianised version of older folk tales, swapping out a pagan being to fit the later religious culture. This podcast has a cock and a bull story! lol

in German Eisenhans ~ 🤭💚

very enjoyable Icy and I am afraid to say I have never been but I will get there but on that note we are so lucky to have all these amazing places in the British Isles rely

Randomly suggested this. Good little video, like the presentation style, humorous, but not faffy.

Great episode, thanks

it is where i live full of spirit i am in a team been all over belfast love it from prison to graveyards thank you for sharing

What a marvelous channel. I love the topic.

The army call the prison the glass house don't know the reason

Always enjoy your sense of humor and really appreciate the amount of research you do. Thanks!

I love your channel Icy rely enjoyed this one and looking forward to the next one

What about the flannel islands would love that

This was the first time I have heard the Water Bull story. Enjoyed this. Thank you!😊

How can we become one?

It's a super sureal site, and one of my favourite places. The tide coming in and cutting the causeway off makes it feel super isolated if you decide to stay there during high tide. If you stay on the island for the duration the island empties of tourists almost entirly, and it's like a differnet world. When it empties out, you get the feeling of the history of the place

Excellent video. Thank you.

Love history and folklore. Thank you for having these on UA-cam, as my podcast notifications frequently bite AND get lost. Love your work and thank you!❤

Wow i just found your channel and i think it is really fantastic and i really appreciate all the hard work and research you must partake in, i used to frequent the place on your picture when i was younger i lived in that area, and i can say without doubt this place is a very supernatural place, i have personally seen things in the grounds that have shaken me to my core, for instance one night i was sat on the actual cholera monument and just above the tree canopy i caught glimpse of an eerie white light floating above the trees, it looked like a firework but moving in slow motion, the really strange thing is i am sure it saw me too, because it kind of went back on itself but this time much faster, i have been told it could have been a Willo-the-Wisp, its always been a very strange place but at the same time it could be a very calming place, i would often and still do feel drawn to it, strangely it would take away my anxieties when i was going through a rough patch, i may visit this place again, i know what i saw was real and the feelings it gave me have never left me, anyway Thank you for your excellent work, and also Lovely Voice i will be listening to you for a long time, all the best. Liam.

Could I suggest that you utilise any funds you make from these videos and podcasts for elocution lessons? It would make life a great deal pleasanter for the average listener if he / she didn’t have try and translate what you are saying. Your dreadful Geordie accent is excruciatingly painful to most listeners.

Ooohhh...congratulations on your Phd! Love your podcasts. Thank you. I do enjoy these very much!

I saw mine before yesterday she appeared in day and night im 25

🥱 Enough said 🤐

No adds blocker...don't bother half dozen at the start alone.

Beautiful makeup!

❤❤❤she's is one amazing goddess thanku for the information❤

Love these birds episodes, and your insight! Thank you

Thank you both for such an interesting episode. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you! This was a real treat of an episode. I've definitely believed, and sometimes grumpily defended, certain darling pieces of folklore here in Sweden but I suppose I'm older and wiser. Or a bit less un-wise at least 🙂. When my English husband told me that 'Ring-around-a-rosy' is really about the plague, I could tell him that we have at least one Swedish singing game ('Bro bro breja') that people also said was really about the plague. That was always so fascinating to me when I was younger and made that singing game a very interesting one even if it was in itself about as exciting as Ring-around-a-rosy. Then I grew up and learned to my disappointment that: 1. We don't have any at all evidence of the singing game existing before the 1700s. The earliest written down version in Sweden is from the 19th century and no version of it shows any really old features either in melody or text. It's actually very similar in character to 'Ring-around-a-rosy', and melodically and linguistically it fits in very well in the 1700s and 1800s. 2. 'Bro bro breja' is said to be a sort of symbolical representation of how towns and cities closed their gates to travellers during plague times unless they could prove they didn't come from a region that the plague had already reached. But there are no historical references to the kind of practice people picture when they say that. All in all, that makes it highly unlikely that 'Bro bro breja' is about the plague times. But I think it's fun to think that we have had this idea about a children's singing game remembering the plague both in the UK and in Sweden, and I would be really interested to hear if it's the same in other parts of Europe!

I didn't expect the blackbird having PTSD from a dragon attack. Also I guess the wren really won the title of king because In German it's called Zaunkönig, 'king of the fence'

I wondered whether the blackbird story was maybe trying to explain the golden yellow beak as well as the "scorched" feathers?

Why would a bird need gold

Fabulous thank you ❤

Thank you so much, this talk was fascinating. Just ordered A Fairy Path ❤

Totally agree with you that things like folklore are so important even and especially now ❤

The loss of vultures in India because of incidental poisoning and so the loss of cleaning by scavaging has been reckoned to have caused up to half a million human deaths.

This was great to listen to! Love the "moshi moshi" bit, I always wondered!

Two of my folklore favorites chatting together? Oh heck yeah!

Loved this! ❤

You talk about Marsden Grotto, and according to some cryptozoologists, there was a kind of viking cult there that sacrificed people to a dragon called Shoney. Some people on reddit tracked the story down to an author called Mike Hallowell, but there the thread goes cold. So I'm not sure if he invented it or if there's some folkloric basis to this.

Really enjoyed this. Stayed overnight in Sunderland in 2019 when touring England with a friend. Have you yet done or could you do an episode on Jarrow? That's where my grandparents are from, but they never talked about it much. He always called her his Geordie, and we don't know why.

lovely presentation Icy much enjoyed

Great discussion

I grew up in Walkern, Hertfordshire where Jane Wenham the last woman in England to be convicted and sentenced as a witch lived. it amazed me that people were willing to accept the trumped charges. We haven't progressed much at all when the Qanon mob can be easily convinced that Hilary Clinton was head of of a paedophile cult that ate children in the basement of a pizza restaurant.

Excellent! What a wonderful speaker. I like the observation that witch hunts are still taking place in various ways. and I think it's true that single people can often feel, or actually be, marginalised. Also, well done for becoming Doctor Sedgwick!

Interesting channel , you could give Ai a try to animate some parts of the tales are create a visual reference might help with immersion IMO , its easy to use just text prompts , RunwayAi is a good platform

Commenting for the algorithm! Love this cogent analysis & cozy format :)

I enjoyed this very much 😌 thank you for sharing !

Ozarka Mountain it's usually is said to mean the spirit of a love one coming to visit after death/checking up on you.
