    I once cut down a fairy tree, thinking it would be OK because, to all appearances, it was dead. It was leaning out over a 10 foot embankment and we cut it on the side that should have caused it to fall down the embankment. In fact. it jumped backwards upward and then fell in the opposite direction (going absolutely against gravity) and knocked me down and pinned me to the driveway. If there had not happened to be a pothole in the drive that I fell into, it would have snapped my spine. It was a fairly large-ish tree. Moral of story? Do NOT mess with fairy trees no matter what!

    I wish you would teach this kind of Irish on line. I get so tired of learning Dia duit. Conas ata tu? I want to learn the words and ideas you are talking about. How do I call to the directions, the winds, the animals, the elements and so on in my mother tongue?

    Inspiring topic! I know the saamis have several ways to describe landscape, snow etc.
    But I remember growing up in Tornedalen and even in the swedish speaking parts of north Sweden it truly felt that people were more connected to the land.
    People still made sure they left a stick on "offerkast" because you did. They would not say they believed in Vittra but better safe than sorry.
    Also, when I came south the landscape felt so empty and powerless. Oh, there were elf stories and such but they seemed so relatively powerless, mostly just able to do mischief. The Vittras seemed to be so much more and something you had to watch out for.
    They also felt like another people. Not small but big as humans etc

    Great conversation and I'll check out his work!
    I was (briefly, a few weeks) at the County Wicklow months-long demonstration to protect the ancient woodland habitat from road expansion. We'd have fun conversations about if we were protecting the Tuatha de Danann or were them? (like that's what the legends meant very tangibly, there are some kind of creatures who make this home and will protect it). There were lots of cat and mouse games, taunting, hidden tunnels and canopy pathways, when loggers and authorities came. Fairy stuff.

    The fishermen sold all their nets and boats to make money to buy food… The shores were combed dry of shellfish etc. I don’t know if people can imagine the level of starvation. It is said there were few birds left in the sky. So no .. we couldn’t access any more sea life as it was all gone..

    • @ExcaliburOfYuletide
      @ExcaliburOfYuletide Рік тому +3

      All fairies aside, the cross was likely on the bread long before the Christian cross, though. A four-quarter cross is much more ancient, and carried on oneself, over doors, in the stables, etc. The rowan cross is a lovely example, but there are many examples of quarter crosses, wherein each segment is the same length.

    Magical Interview. Learnt so much about my land Eire and people. Manchan may wish to read "Ireland 1845-1850: the Perfect Holocaust, and Who Kept it ""Perfect.""" by Chris Fogarty. Tells what really happened in Ireland and why it was rebranded as a Famine. Just like Plantations in Ireland, aka, Oliver Cromwell....happening again today in Ireland.

    Anglo-Saxon language has 67 words for a boat or ship. So the orientation of the language is maritime and not terrestrial like Gaelic.Slán👍🇮🇪🍀
