I always thought witches on these platforms were a bit crazy to say "Dont work with the fae." From just being a small child, my mother raised me with the mindset, you respect the fae, learn about the fae, and if you are lucky the fae might talk to you. Till this day, I hold that belief higher than anything. I feel like rejecting them is like rejecting an aspect of nature.
glad someone feels the same way :]
i feel the same
Yes. I see "Don't work with the fae!!!" everywhere, and it seems like fear mongering. While not all fae are benevolent and you must research extensively to work with them, they have very similar relationships with humans as other entities do. Since the fae are such a big group you do have to know much about what ones will not be fond of humans, and which might be. They can be finicky and as a beginner witch I certainly am not one to get involved, but they should be respected. Not feared as much, a healthy amount, but not so much that you're paranoid.
I had an encounter last night and I know some people spend their whole life wishing for such a sight. I can honestly say it's the most magical thing I've ever seen in my life.
I do understand why they say it, for it seems many new witches otherwise (or even with warnings) jump into things and or don't do research and problems often arise. I mean there was a tik tok thing that happened where some new witches not only cursed the moon, they tried to get together to curse the fae for some reason.
I wish I was joking. I told my catholic mother (not catholic myself) and she gasped- you dont ever feck with the fae though. you respect them and leave them be.
My parents were Irish and I was always told that the Sidhe were nothing to fear but respect in fact even though my parents were catholic just under the thin veneer they spoke like Pagans, my father always said that the church was nature and if you wanted to worship or connect with god that’s the place to do it. My mother was very much a believer in the spirit world and the Irish legends as was my dad. They spoke about them as fact not fiction and that’s moulded me to be the same way.
sounds like a great upbringing
@teyanuputorti7927 A Privilege to be sure
Oh, yes, it would be really interesting to learn about angels and demons from your/your clan's perspective. I hope to see a video of that one day if you can!
I can start working on them for Halloween and Samhain 😎
@@BlackDragonTavern Thank you! :D *happy dance*
@@BlackDragonTavern thank you
Also post EVERYTHING you know about fae, it’s so captivating
Your wish is my command
@@BlackDragonTavern been watching your videos for like an hour. Awesome, love stuff fae and legends/myths related to them and more. =)
Keep up the amazing story telling meows
@@poorsillyboy I think I caught a small creature twice now in my house. Twice now I saw a small dark shape near the ground that I at first mistook for a mouse, but upon inspection there is nothing there and no place it could have gone. I find no evidence of having mice in my apartment building so I wonder if it was a brownie or house elf
I am fey and my mother told me it is passed to one female per generation. She had it too. She never explained anything more about it so this helps me. I told her at 18 that I saw events before they happened and she told me that the whole family knew I had"the power" since I was a little kid. I find it very uncomfortable but I am stuck with it. I end up praying and then I know what to do or where to go when it tells me. It is always for a good reason even though it is usually pertaining to someone's death illness or accident. I have been able to help the situation so I have learned to give in and not fight it.
@Valerie McNeal I am wondering if you have the ability to heal animals and children , it would be great if you could
Fake
@@voxodiaz7358 Not necessarily in. While much of it might just be stories, there do exist recorded psychological phenomena, including heritable ones, with effects very close to how the fae are described. After all, the stories had to originally come from somewhere, right?
Same 🛸 👽🧹
thank you this helped me ❤👍🙏
One thing that’s worth mentioning, is that the word fairy has different meanings in different languages: while the french word faerie indicated the realmmof all magic creatures in ancient times, traditonally the faeries (fées) are described as women, similar to humans but with the power to alter the fate of mortals, just like italian faeries (fate). In germany, faeries (Fee/Fei/Fey) are more closely related to the slavic Vily, Samodivy and Tündèr, nature godesses that are bound to the territory they guard.
Finally, a video on the Fae that isn't all about auras and magic and crystals, just raw folklore
😂😂there is a lot of the hocus pocus stuff out there. And there are some interesting things in the lore that deal with the more mystical side. But I just deal in stories, not whatever that is😅
Thank you for the comment 🙏💚
@@BlackDragonTavern It's always that new-wave hocus pocus, never the real traditional stuff that would be of some substance. I'm trying to write a story focusing on the fae, but I want to do my research first and damn can it be hard to do without running into the hocus pocus hahaha.
(not to mention being of Scottish heritage, it's nice to know the old stories)
Well, I'll actually be making a few more videos in this vein soon. So there will be a bit more for you to sample 👆😁
@@BlackDragonTavern Aww hell yeah, subbed and waiting! Loving the Folklore vids, so hard to find info on real life folklore, have to scour a library of books to get anything similar
Besides having a huge history and coming in all shapes and sizes, ferries are also just a wonderfully enjoyable form of transport
I'm in Australia and I've seen fairies. This has been going on for 20 years of my life. I'm 35 now and know what I saw.
Do you like cheese?
@@tannakaobi1 I don't see how that's got anything to do with my statement but I guess mozzarella is my favourite..
@@katyhawkins1149 Sorry, I was just joking. It's a quote from a Christmas Carol. When Scrooge is presented with the ghost of his old friends he says "You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!"
We live in a world that has millions of people that claim all kinds of fanciful things. People claim to have walked in heaven, some people hell. Some claim they were abducted by Aliens. Some cast spells, some can talk to the dead, read mind's, see the future. I've always been fascinated by the supernatural. But do you know what I have seen? Nothing, nada, squat. I don't want to offend you, but I think it very likely that what you think you saw was more likely in your own head rather than in reality. I accept that I could be wrong. In fact I really hope I am, but to believe in one thing is to believe in everything in my opinion. After all, if you really did see fairies then who's to say Joe didn't walk with God? Only, many of these things are contradictory. So I believe what my own eyes see.
I think dreams are as supernatural as it gets and I believe that people can dream while awake. Cheese makes people dream or so they say. My comment was just a jest. It's probably a little spite on my part, jealousy maybe. How I would love to see fairies or talk with God, even if I knew it wasn't real, but I just see... Well, nothing, ever.
I have seen first hand people convince themselves of things that just didn't happen though. Bright normal people who I would ordinarily trust.
@@tannakaobi1 its all good, I know I don't have to justify my experiences with anyone, especially when I'm known to also be a straity 180😂 well, the only ones to say different would be those few that latch onto ATM's with legs who dropped out of school because they never had a pep talk but that's another story altogether😂but I understand when someone doesn't believe because they themselves haven't seen..I'm surrounded by these people as well, and get along just fine with due to keeping a lot to myself.. But seeing as this is a non personal avenue thought I'd have my say on the topic.. Have a nice day..
What did they look like?
You kind of remind me of my late grandmother, bless her heart. She would always tell us stories of the faeries and spirits, and I always loved listening to her when I had the chance to growing up... Kind of wish that I had more time with her tbh...
I like the theory that the Fairies are a folk memory of the original hunter gatherers who were eventually pushed out by the Neolithic farmers.
Micheal Cleary (as in Bridget Cleary, burned as a Faery in Tipperary,) was my great great great uncle.
Good Lord, that is one hell of a family legacy 😮
This is fantastic!
What would you consider people who aren't of Irish descent, but have Irish blood. I'm African American and my family never believed in Faeries. They're very Christian.
I grew up having tons of paranormal experiences. Most of them included fae encounters. These spirits that seem demi-human or could become solid at will, and elementals that would make themselves known. The men and women are majestic. Others have been during astral trips. Where I've waken up in caves, fields, fallen in oceans, and etc...
During my early 20s, walking home I ran across a pale lady in a green dress. She seemed blind yet ancient.
Other times I've had dreams, visions and evolving psychic abilities that seem beyond what's considered normal. A lot of my encounters led me to research Irish folklore, because it matches up incredibly.
Sometimes I wonder...if I inherited some skill or role that's been lost to history.
We incarnated over and over ,you have been all sorts of races and species, it doesn't matter where your from in this life ,thats why .
Thank you for sharing ! I think that’s the best video I’ve seen about the Fae folk so far. A new fan from Texas 🙋🏽♀️ Have you seen Wolf Walkers ? If so can you share stories of the myth behind Wolf Walkers ? My understanding is that when the romans came, and wiped out the druids or pagans they thought they shape shifted into wolves so they started killing wolves as well.
From what I recall from my research [involving English occupation of Ireland and the extinction of the Irish Wolves], the British were the ones who [successfully] drove the wolves into extinction after campaigning for it. The reason was twofold - to break the Irish spirit and to decrease their threat to farm animals as farming was becoming more popular. The former was because the Irish had a deep spiritual connection with wolves, and Britain thought that removing their spirituality would help make them more docile and easy to control. The latter was because Britain was trying to squeeze profit out of Ireland through exports.
Regarding the folklore behind Wolf Walkers, I believe it was inspired by one of the legends of the Ossory Wolves. I'm pretty sure BDT has a video about the Ossory, but it's different than the accounts used for Wolf Walkers. The Wolf Walker's version is the one where the Ossory could transmute their souls into wolves to protect Ireland while they slept.
Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I'm confusing Ossory for another Irish family blessed/cursed with wolf transformation, but I'm too tired to fact-check. Lol
Excellent information. Demons are not demons, they are demonised gods of other religions. They are not necessarily evil, like the Fae, they just are. Trust me, I've been studying (loose term) demonolatry from an occult perspective. Also, there are beings called peri or feri in Persian mythology. Another one similar is the Dakini of Tibetan and Indian myth. There are nature spirits who we could consider fairies. ;) I trust your faerie or fair folk are Celtic, however.
I've been wondering about the possibility that the Fae are the basis for many religious beliefs, seeing as every continent has documented sightings of beings who fit the Fae denomination, come in human, semi-human, and absolutely every non-human form, and have powers that humans don't.
Wow, I’ve been so interested in fairy depictions and learning about the fae universe lately... my inner child loves this stuff, I even ordered some fairy coloring books from Amazon. I’ve been feeling more connected to the earth, specifically the forest and a desire to cultivate mushrooms and garden for pleasure. I honestly couldn’t understand why I was feeling so drawn to this specific folklore because I’m black, American of Jamaican descent. 30 seconds into this video I remember my last name is McDermott 😂 some Irish were also enslaved on the island of Jamaica so my great great great great grandfather must be an Irish man...
I don't have any ancestry from the British isles whatsoever and I too have had a lingering connection to them for most of my life. I did come across some interesting information somewhat recently that could explain their appeal to such a wide, yet still niche audience. Many traits fae are sometimes said to have can be found among a certain recorded population, who also possess many of the indicators that were once used to identify changelings. Even today in regions unrelated to the isles, these people still have their parents mourn the loss of the child they thought they had (but never did), blame their existence on a scapegoat, and attempt to make them "normal again," even if that scapegoat isn't magical at all.
The one black guy I know that actually knew who his enslaved ancestors were, is descended from an Irish slave from the Caribbean. His last name is Gibbons.
They just trimmed the Irish slave trade and the 2 Irish genocides (Roman and then Great Britain) right out of world history and the Russian Holodomor (1917, 50-150million Russian peasants starved to death by NY ‘Bolsheviks’) who, when acknowledged, presented AS the Russian peasant/working class themselves rising up. Russians are adamant that the people who overthrew and then controlled the communist USSR regime were NOT the Russian people.
There’s a lot that is misrepresented, and when understood from all sides, make the events of the 20th century connect and make sense. Otherwise it’s just a crazy, nonsensical series of unrelated happenings presented as human nature being destructive as a natural state of being. This isn’t the case. We are born here and this planet is our natural hone and we are evolved along with our Mother Earth to support each other. Earth is evolved to accommodate human needs and ‘digest’ human waste. We are an integral part of the earth, to say it lightly.
“The Irish origins of civilization,” by Michael Tsarion would probably interest you.
My daughter is Irish and Cape Verdean. I tell her she comes from a line of Irish princesses and I want her to feel that connection in her soul. Not all the Irish are blondes w blue eyes (as I have and much of our side of the family). The part of you that is drawn to these things are your genetic memory. Lean into it in meditation or past life regression maybe. I have had dreams about being a whale since I was a kid. They feel so real it’s hard to explain, but it’s my spirit animal 💯.
There’s no one way to be black, be yourself bro 🤞🏾
This is the first time I've heard/read this information and have been able to actually understand it! Thank you!!!
My absolute privilege and pleasure 💚🙏
I'm going to give my recollection of them dug out from the dust of my ancient memory bank. There very shy and tiny. About the size of a moth or up to size of a butterfly. They are very slender and beautiful lady creatures. Theres a catch to this, u will just see them as a bright glowing ball if u are afraid, or dont believe and they will likely fly away quickly if they sense this. However, if u find them interesting they may stick around a bit and lower that brightness to where u can make out there wings and great figure a bit. Here is the big one, if u have a pure and loving heart, u get the big show! They lower there light even more to where u can see all of them as they are. Imagine a tiny beautiful super model, buck naked with beautiful wings. Not only will they quickly give u a display, but will kiss your cheek and fly away in a hurry lol. I dont know where this memory comes from, but its in my mind. I think I was alive once when the world was a friendlier place. U dont see them much (if at all) now. To evil and nasty for them to appear. But there here. Just vibrating at a much higher density than us. We use to be pure love also before the reptilians and other aliens took our innocent nature and turned us into meat eating lunatics and slaves to dig up the earths resources. U can see this on Egyptian walls. Were just now this year getting slowly back to ourselves. The gods are back and cleaning house. The ignorant humans call them ufos and aliens. There simply family. All creatures are family. Earth is family. She is alive as well. We havent been nice to her. Still she loves us.
IVE BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE
I hope it did not disappoint 😁
@@BlackDragonTavern 10/10 super educational 😆
Love your content... happy to have found your channel:) thanks
Thank you so much for the love and encouragement 💚🙏
I love this and you!! I'm hooked!!
You had me at the first sentence. Subbed.
I think it telling that a bug flew through. A blessing from the fae.
6:33-6:36 That thing flew by you pretty fast.
right when he talks about the church too, lol
Wow- I just barely caught that. Very interesting.
Then not long after at 6:39 some orb-like thing floats over the left side of the TV screen.
This topic is so interesting, thanks for posting these videos!
I love any information about the fae is greatly appreciated and am enjoying our talks so very much. My sister was told that my mother and I are fae but she is not. We all are gifted in some manner. Could that be possible with siblings of the same parents?
This is complicated to answer. By the strictest legends and Myths, no, bloodlines are bloodlines.
By my Clans lore and traditions, certain spirits choose vessels based on the strengths and abilities of the body. These things still only occur within bloodlines, but they are generational, and selective
@@BlackDragonTavern thanks for the insight.
Hail, and well met. I'm a devotee of The Morrigan. She is the Queen of the Fae. I love learning. Thank you for these videos! Blessed Be! )O(
That's Morgan Le Fay not the Morrigan
@@anon2511 I know that, but many people believe them to be the same entity/person. I'm not the only one. ;)
I have heard many refer to the Morrigan as the queen of the Fae, though that is not what we understand in our Traditions, I do know that it was a fairly common belief after the works of Crowley and Gardner. I appreciate you sharing and being a patron of the tavern
Thank you for the reminder sir
Always a pleasure 🙏
YOU ARE A BLESSING. You have helped me understand, I appreciate your knowledge and guidance in this matter 🌿
HOLY SMOKES!!! between 6:30 & 6:50 you got a lot of camera spirits going on!
I saw that!
So glad I found your channel 😊
And I am most glad to have you in the Tavern 🙏😁
More on Irish gods and creatures would be kick ass
You know I got you little brother😁👆
❤ found your channel today! 😊
Well, welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay💚🙏
Hey,my
Irish Ancestors came over from Ireland,during the Potatoe famine,Okane,O’Conner.
All you described have one thing in common, They all need to be respected like the elements... They are my kind, and I am theirs...
Agreed in whole my friend 🙏
What do you mean by "...dont drink water"? BTW: I love this video! 😘
So very glad you enjoyed your trip to the Tavern 😁
Just found your channel today and its been so helpful. I hope you see this, id love if you could share all your knowledge on dragons?!
Right now, I have a video on Crom Cruach which in my family's lore was originally depicted as a gold dragon, and I have a couple short videos on Jormungandr and the dragon serpents of Yggdrasil. I will have more dragon videos in the future, just not sure when. Theres quite a lot on the to do list 😁
Did a faery just fly by you at 6:30 ?? Wtf lol
How would one find any kind of classification of bloodline descendants?
As far as I know my grandfather's records are unique. Though you could trace lines back through the Clans to the high King's, but this is not super reliable because of the Christian monks that recorded most of what is publicly available today
Bloodline that might Trace back to the FAE? That's very interesting, I have some personal experiences with things that may be considered fae... Also one of my family's surname is Fahey which has been misinterpreted and anglicized into green but I believe in Irish is foundation? Wonder if there could be any roots and correlation to a fae lineage?! That be really cool!
A couple of things, I would adore seeing a team up with you and Gaijin Goomba! And have you ever looked into the religious practice of Kabbalah?
Not extensively, but I am familiar with the basics of it. I do try to avoid religion when I can, just to keep away from unnecessary drama.
I would love to work with some other lore and history UA-camrs, I'm not quite big enough yet though😅
@@BlackDragonTavern you never know untill you try.
Yes, we want stuff from all over the world.
Making a guide to mythological humanoids and getting confused on the terms and definitions and classifications I keep finding in the fae/fay/faery/fairy/pixie/sprite category. Just trying to figure out what is classified as what what fits into what umbrella or what makes something that or not that and a system I can actually comprehend.
DUDE what was that at about 6:33??!! It was an orange orb thing that zoomed by and at about 6:39 something white in the left??? Why is no one mentioning it??? What the!!
Hi, I am new , I became interested due to a ceeepypasta and was always interested into mythical creatures , but never put any research in it. So I guess this is now about to change. I found different folklore always interesing as well , especially the ones from Ireland, Scottland, Iceland ....basically the Northern region. At least to start with. Oh and I grew up with Grimm's tales, I have one old book in these blueish- white colour . It should still be stored in my choldhood books carton, so I have to look for it at my parent's house. 👋
Well I always appreciate when a young story seeker finds their way into my Tavern. There's lore from all over the world here, dig in and please do enjoy your stay🙏
@@BlackDragonTavern Thank you for the kind words ! 👋
I am not going to lie I don't believe in fae but i do believe in demons ,and angels.But this is very interesting, i would like to know more about this.And thank you for the amazing videos.
When I was a very small child someone over the back fence had a radio on. I commented to Mum that I heard faint music and she said (obviously just joking but I took it seriously for years) "there must be fairies at the bottom of the garden". The hairs went up at the back of my neck and I never went in that corner again. I don't think I had a head full of warnings about them, it was more instinctual than that.
I've always been interested in them and I am here doing research for (a) story(s) that rescues faeries from the pony princess/new age oubliette.
Handsome and great at storytelling 💕💍 I'm in love. I could listen to you talk all day, Castle.
Oh, you flatter me
so funny these so-called 'SCARY' fairy stories - especially the ones that WARN US that if we're not careful we just might go to FAIRY LAND and never come back - excuse me but that SOUNDS GREAT !
Not really we don't fully know. not everything is a Disney princess movie it could be horrible
It is somewhat interesting that faerie lore from what I've seen often tends to attract people from certain minorities who are themselves often seen as inhuman and who view the human world itself to be as alien as fairyland is often described. This seems to be one of the larger audiences other than people with Celtic ancestry or were taught these stories by their families.
Thanks!
Thank you🙏 for the subscription as well, most generous of you 🙏💚
First time I watch your videos!
It is an interesting perspective about Faeries! And of course religions would demonize them...sadly.
Sorry for bringing this again but, I'm trying to comprehend your view about fae existing only in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.
Like in the last comment, I understand that "celtic-fae" belong specifically in that area. I agree about not saying "everything is a fae", however unlike animals I think for faeries it was be more easy to spread in different parts of the world, after all they share human traits, so they can survive in other areas and in fact they were able to travel long distances long time ago.
For example we might find fae and no necesarily spirits, in northern spain since it shares celtic traditions, the Vily and Rusalka in the Balkan Peninsula and Rusia. Even in Asia, Africa, America and Oceania they had their concept of fae. They might vary of course, but at the end they were defined as faeries in very ancient traditions as well.
Another comparison are mermaids which I belive they live in all over the world since the sea is so vast, but in this case maybe when we think about mediterranean mermaids and merrow, we could take specifically the three celtic nations mencioned suitable for the 2nd concept.
So my hypothetical question is, faeries might exist all over the world, but are the different classes the ones that are specifically reserved to those areas?
Sorry if I wasn't that clear, I tried to explain myself in the most correct way, and this is my point of view. I just belive and feel as the world it self has nature, faeries will be there.
But of course I can't say I am right about this, and I respect and admire such a rich and wonderful tradition that your family has.
They come from behind the veil on the surface. I believe they have a connection to Archons of Gnostic belief.
They cross from the other realm.
You have a lovely laugh!
You're awesome dude, I wanna know how to work with the elementals more.
@258 a fairy flew behind you!! 😊
Very interesting. Thanks!:)
Always a pleasure 🙏💚
Dude you're awesome
Thank ye kindly 🙏💚
I would love to hear about the 3 yos. I love fai, fairy, est lore I also love the art have you looked through the work of Brian Fourd. He is really well know but you never know. If you have what group or group would you say he is showing?
I have not, if you'd like to send it to me I would be more than happy to look over it and put out something with what I believe they are :)
I will totally send you stuff as soon as I figure out how lol I have several books filled with his art work but they are physical there for won't fit in an email 😅
www.ferniebrae.com/brian-froud okay this is where you can see the peaces that he has for sale. I have a number of his books art books mostly pictures of his art. The biggest was Faeries. I also have Trolls, World of Faerie, The Goblins of Labyrinth, Good faeries/Bad faeries, Goblins, The World of Dark Cyristle, How to See Faeries, and there are 2 orical decks and even more books. I still don't know how to send you all my books but I hope you like his work.
I did a spell the other night just to kind of worship the Divine goddess that is the moon since we had the super flower blood moon.... And it was an eclipse, I felt I didn't really need to ask for anything or take anything away so I just kind of honored the divinity that is the Moon.
This morning me and my boyfriendheard a noise outside and we went to check because we've been having problems with criminals and I do live here in Atlanta.... But what we saw was so unexpected.
I saw this beautiful glowing light in the distance in the treetops.
the light blowed on and off the way a firefly would but clearly this is a good eighth of a mile away so obviously this was no lightning bug.
As we watched it could see it walking through the trees, I look to the right where one of the light poles were not working, and I saw the most beautiful fairy flying around the pole in a zipping motion.
meanwhile the ferry with the light that was dimming on-and-off was still walking through the trees. I don't know if they were playing or matingor if one of them were injured spiritually but I can honestly say that him and I experience something together that most people try their whole lives to achieve. I feel so lucky and this is undoubtedly the fae. I just wish I knew what they were doing and if what I did Drew them there. But there's no doubt in my mind that these were fairies we can see the shape of their bodies in the way their wings moved when they flew and it was something to behold.
I felt as if I was chosen to be able to see them and I just wonder why me?
Could it be because I'm very much of an intuitive witch?I mean I've always practiced since I was very young and I come from a long line of magical healers...... But I wasn't sure if I was very good at it.
Besides being able to change traffic lights from red to Green, and getting that intuition before something bad happens and it always being a 100% true, I could have never imagined in a million years to witness such a sight.
Let alone, share the experience was someone that I am deeply in love with.
Disclaimer:
I made this comment before watching the video so the terminology maybe a little off I see.
I couldn’t see part two or three? 🖤
Faewitch86 is my handle... I'm part selkie at least I believe I am. People are so terrified by our beloved creatures and I've never understood why. And as for traps, I've never understood the fear of them.
If I may, your background can be improved on; green screen if you wish, but really a wall with shelf of "cultural" items would work too. Most don't take your computer setup as an interesting background (not me).
f*** the "first" comment
The plan is actually to set up a bar with books and trinkets behind it.
I know this background is VERY out of sorts for the topic.
I had actually just set up my studio when I lost my home back in February.(That's not for sympathy, just for context, I'm doing much better now). HOPEFULLY, I'll have my studio set back up next month😅
I do appreciate the critique, I'm always open to suggestions on content and on setting 😁
@@BlackDragonTavern I was so busy listening that I didn't even notice until I read that..
Nice info! New subscriber here!
Hell yeah! Welcome to the Tavern adventurer! I hope you will join me for many a drink!
@@BlackDragonTavern thank you kindly! 👍
There are stories of fairies in France, Iceland and all over Europe. So it's not just the British Isles. However, clearly the Catholic Church was onto something.
The term fairies is actually almost exclusively french until the 17th century or so(I might be a little off there). There are certainly creatures that are fairy-like all over the world, and in our lore it's even more connected than that, but fairies themselves as we perceive them today are a European/Scandinavian interpretation, with the Scandinavian side leaning more towards trolls and goblins.
Did anyone else see the “it” look at 6:30 to 6:41 I wish I could slow it down.
Being a "Ringer" and a "HP-er" I have
long wondered about this subject since one person says a thing about the fey and an other person says one other thing etc and so on.
thank you for making this. really enjoyed - keep up good work pls ! : )
Thank you for the support, it means the world😁💚
would love to see some on Mesopotamia
About fairies or just lore in general?
So it must have been fair folk the man seen in Scotland..wonder why he was rolling up the man's shadow?
There are any number of things it could be. Likely some sort of Echo if I had to guess😁
It may sound silly but there is a big debate over if fairies wear footwear/ boots in the music community. Could you by any chance answer this question for me?
I'm not 100% sure if this is a serious question or not. But I'll answer as one.
It depends. Some fairies most definitely wear shoes, but most would not.
I do thank you for your response. Most in the Fae community will not answer.
The Tavern is a place of learning and inquiry, and storytellers and adventurers are welcome 🙏
@@BlackDragonTavern Thanks!
What exactly is the difference between fae folk and fair folk. Are fair folk the human-esque? And fae folk the elementals? Although the fae are the human. It wasn't massively clear in the video.
The terms get used interchangeably in modern folklore. Though at one time the Fair Folk would have referred to the Tuatha De Danann and the Fae Folk would have referred to their descendants.
my mum always told me I was a changeling, I was a healthy child until about 9 months old. I also have a pixie face and ears. I dont mind just wish my folk would take me back lol. x I am first generation Australian and My mum is from Greenock Scotland.
Celts are very connected to the earth, and I am very connected (no not a green activest) I am just more at home the closer to the ground I am, in fact I love sitting on the ground and my friends think I am very strange that I dont like to sit on chairs. All my friends try to give up their chairs for me and I am getting older (middle aged now) I just prefer to be grounded (close to the ground) cant explain it just where I am most comfortable and always been more comfortable around nature and animals. and animals tend to just automatically trust me, even feral feral cats. I once brought home a litter of ferals to save them when I was about 8 years old when my Aunties and Nanna found out what I had done they tried to get them out of the house and then the cats went beserk, but they were quiet in my arms until people tried to interfere. lol x
Sounds like you've got a lot of interesting energy all around you.
I appreciate you visiting the Tavern and sharing your story 🙏
👏👏👏👏👏👍💚

Came in from a creepy TickTock at 5:41 AM what the fuck am I doing
Do you have any from Canada?
I do, though Canada's spirits come from Native North American tribes, with only a few stemming from European land.
6:35 is that a fairy?!?! lol
🤫🤫🤫
6:57 SAD BUT PROBABLY TRUE. THEY DIDN'T GET US COMPLETELY, MY FRIEND. TELL ME IF THIS STATEMENT STRIKES A CHORD IN YOU.
"I WALK AS A PAGAN, WORSHIP AS A CATHOLIC, WEEP AS A JEW, AND WISELY SUBMIT TO NO ONE." THIS IS HOW I IDENTIFY. WHY DO I HAVE TO PICK ONE? ANYWAY; I GREW TIRED OF OTHERS TELLING ME HOW I SHOULD THINK A LONG TIME AGO. I LIKE YOUR CHANNEL, BUT THAT IS ONE BRIGHTLY LIT TAVERN THAT I AM NOT SURE I WOULD WANT TO DRINK ALCOHOL IN. WE LOVE DARTH VADER BECAUSE HE IS DARK (wink wink nudge nudge.) thanks for passing the wisdom.
Hi where can I find the other 2 parts of the video! :D im really interested in this topic !
I should have made a fairy playlist 😅I'm just realizing that I didn't. The rest of the fairy videos are in my myths and legends playlist
@@BlackDragonTavern Oh thank you! I would look for them btw I love your channel Im making a marathon of your videos!
tell me, I didn’t fully understand if it was in the video (I don’t know english very well). what exactly is the difference between Fey and Fae? or are they just names inherent in different nations? in German / English? what exactly does it mean? in Europe and the USA people will understand what I'm talking about fairies? thanks :)
If anyone wants a fantastic listen/read The Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearn is absolutely badass !! I think there are 9 books & several novellas. Luke Daniels narrates the audio books, & is absolutely amazing with his work !! It is my favorite book series in many yrs.
I have been in several countries in Europe, and the only place which i have felt fairies was in United kingdom. I dont know why and if there is any explanation at that. If someone know the reason i would love to know ☺️
Because that is the only place they existed :)
@@BlackDragonTavern do you mean that nowadays they dont exist?
Interesting vídeo, but I am still trying to understand somethings you said....So you are talking only about the mythology, and not the Elementals and nature spirits? Weren't the fairy mythologies written based on the spirits of flowers and plants? I'm from Brazil and I have the sight, and I see fairies in Brazil, I saw them in Bali as well, for what I understand fairies and other elementals exists where there are nature... So does gnomes, dryads and some other creatures I am still trying to figure out what they are...
I got em in my place ❤😂🧚🐿️🙈👣👀🪩✨
You should cover the fey children of the demons
(My family heritage)
I'm a big fan of Sun Wukong who gets called a god in western translation but he's hardly on the same level as (for instance) the Olympian gods. Of course part of this could be the Buddhist idea that gods are not as powerful as the Buddha within you* but I keep thinking that what gets translated as "god" has a different meaning.
*I should point out I am not a Buddhist so don't quote me on that but it's some of the rhetoric in Journey to the West.
Have you seen the fairy in the apple orchard in England with the three children
My favor fairy 🧚 and have many fairies dolls. I believe that real
Many do believe so 👆
Are Shape shifters part of the fae? If so what group/ class? Specifically, those that shift into just a human/ animal. Like a wolf, bear or a large cat. Or are they something else. I assume shifters are born Shifters while Weres are made. Maybe I'm completely wrong on the whole topic. Would like some info on their orgin.
This really depends. There are shape shifters in the Aoi Sidhe, as a matter of fact, most of the more powerful creatures can shape shift and any human children would have been able to as well.
Were creatures are a late century phenomenon, lycanthropy and other such superstition rose with the rise of religion. While it does link to some myths of the time, much like the story of count dracula, these tales became exasperated with the up come of city babbles.
For instance, even in the US there are some native tribes that believed they and their ancestors were ALL skin walkers, and this held more of a negative connotation as time went on.
@@BlackDragonTavern Most info I find on shifters is based on other people's fiction. And everyone has their own take on them. So I was wondering where they orinated from. Like if they are in a culture's mythology somewhere. Sometimes I see people grouping Weres and Shifters together. It gets a bit confusing. Anyway, I am just very curious about fae culture in general. They are very interesting. I didn't know about human children shifting.
Well, I haven't posted a video in a while, if you'd like a general information video on them from my Clans stories with some references to the more mainstream mythology I'd be happy to make a video😁
@@BlackDragonTavern I am just starting to learn about the Norse pagan religion. And I do want to also start learning about the Celtic one as well. Found your channel today. So I haven't gone through many of your videos. But so far I enjoy the content. Thank you for putting out the information 🙂
It's my pleasure and privilege. I grew up in a very old family with very old traditions of Norse Gael mid origin. Our Traditions are old, and they do vary from what is widely and academically accepted.
I offer these stories, as well as the academic ones, and the opportunity to learn some of our culture and traditions.
Though, for us, it is not religious as much as it is cultural
Saitama fell it. When the fairy want to protect the wood, and suddently some fanatic want some fairy's heads.
I'm calling merfolk "merman" and "mermans" like "human" and "humans".
Could you talk about chaneques? They’re like the mesoamerican version of faeries
Yaoguai is a Chinese word, not Japanese. Though spelled with the same characters.
Right. I don't believe I implied it was from Japan but from Asia. Yokai are specific to Japan Yaoguai are their Chinese counterparts, and yogoe is the Korean version of the same concept. At least roughly
Question what would happen if a gives her name and a human gives his name
Just introductions is merely politeness I would say
What I'm trying to figure out is how large (or small) are fae, or fairies for that matter. I'm under the impression that they are 6-8' tall or so. Please advise.
just saw two spirit orbs go past your face
are the fairies messing with your camera? the drawers on the back ground are kind of flowy
They might have been ":D These early videos were mostly shot on my phone, and some of the later ones too. But I am happy to blame it on the fairies lol
I'm writing a book, well it might become a webcomic idk yet, but one of my protagonists is a faerie and I want to make sure I write him and his behavior as accurately as I can.
His name is Cathal. That's all I have. That, and the fact that he's the second youngest out of nine siblings, the fact that he lives in the woods of my other protagonist's home, and the fact that he plays a lute-- Any advice for what I can do for him?
Never drink blood. Note someone else blood atleast. Has it the same bittersweet taste? I find mine quite tasteless actually.
I am the Fae and I shapeshift.
That is utterly fascinating 😲
Yesterday my friend saw a fey I think we made it mad what do we do?
