  • Alright, a different subject because it can't always be about Vikings :P But I hope you enjoy it anyway. It seems for the Druids the Moon was the key to understand the cosmos, and much more! Hey, Mr. Thorstein is back btw.

    This was not a boring video, it's very insightful. The real day to day of our ancestors lives may not always be clear for various reasons and i don't entirely trust the records kept by the invading elite, however it is equally important to try and understand that our ancestors were not just a bunch of people in a tv show or just simply 'cool' like a lot of fakes seem to be more interested in, magic and tradition wasn't a bragging rite like it is now. Ok rant over, good work Arith ...again!

      thank you so much for your support, as always. It's true, I'm sure to our ancestors religious practices were much more complex and they had much more respect for these activities, and of course it was mixed with the science they had, or at least the understanding they had of the world. Nowadays to some people this all seems to be a fairy tale, and I'm also talking about other pagans which make of this business something purely magical and don't give the true credit out ancestors deserve, the true respect.

    Hello from Australia, Ari.
    I learnt more about the Druids in this short clip than I have learnt elsewhere.
    Fascinating to learn the lunar cycle is 19/20 years before it starts a new cycle.
    I pondered if this knowledge could partly be why the Christian Church persecuted people such as Copernicus, Galileo etc.
    Anyway, thanks for a great presentation and I think many of your followers would love to hear more on the Druids, as would I.
    Have a great day :)

    Its a shame that we dont know much about the druids. Very interesting subject especially if we find more archeological evidence & piece it together, though it sucks that we can only theorize what they did in those times

    Enjoyed your talk about the moon. However I don’t care much for your goofy cousin, or whatever he is. Only a humble opinion.

    Not boring at all. The complexities of the lunar cycles and our ritual relationship to them are fundamental structures of certain pagan thought. These are the kind of details that flesh out our understanding. I for one would love it if you revisited this topic as exhaustively as you are able.

    Arith, the idea of continuation of neolithic knowledge is appealing. We sometimes assume that that happened, but it's difficult to prove. Many clues make the patterns that make it more likely: knowledge that made people make the British and continental 'henges' around the celestial spheres did survive, varying from place to place. Wondering how long henges were used in this respect. Star allignment and sacrificial pits from the Iron Age are ar archeologically established in the Netherlands. I wholehartedly recommend the paper 'Landscaping the Powers of Darkness & light, 600 BC-350AD, settlement concerns of Noord Holland in wider perspective by L.L Therkorn, University of Amsterdam, 2004.
    You can also find the paper for free on www.jalc.nl /Therkorn 2004

    Hmmm, interesting. Does anyone know where the word "moon" comes from? Monday is moon day. The Latin is Luna. Probably quite closely related. Luna (pronounced LOONa).Luna/Lun = Moon/Mon/Mun. Vowels O and U are very much interchangeable. And I think the consonants L and M are interchangeable too. I'll look into this.
    The moon is interesting in myth. It is often classed as feminine and is usually the sister or wife of the Sun. The Sun is usually masculine although as you said, we northern Europeans may well have seen the Sun (Sunna) as feminine.
    When Odin takes out his eye: is this something to do with Sun and Moon????

    • @ArithHärger
      @ArithHärger  7 років тому +1

      In English, the word "Moon" probably comes from the Anglo-Saxon or Old Norse (I don't remember the word for each). In old English was "Mōna". To the Northern European countries and also England, the moon is male and the sun is female, whilst in the South it's the opposite. But in the mediterranean countires the Sun became male due to the spreading of the Roman Empire and later Christianity. Before that, prehistoric cultures of southern Europe during the Chalcolithic worshiped a solar goddess. About Odin sacrificing his eye, I don't know if there is any connection to the sun and the moon since Odin is a god related to death, war and sacrifice and later during medieval and modern times he became also associated with magic and wisdom.

      ok, thanks. Keep up the good work :-) p.s I live in Wiltshire, England, near the stone circles Avebury Henge and Stone Henge. These, I'm almost certain are aligned to the phases of the moon (as well as other celestial bodies). Built before the "Celtic" priesthood was in Britain. I'll let you know if I uncover anything interesting.

      Gib Mattson . As a 1st generation Australian of Nthern Italian descent my knowledge of Italian and Latin is limited, however , I know that Italian is closely linked with Latin. So.
      In Italian "Lunedi" is Monday. The root being "Luna" or moon in english. (I'm guessing the connection to latin only because if the root is latin, then the origin of the word takes it further back into antiquety.) So.
      Luna = moon = Lunedi / monday.
      Luna is in the feminine form in Italian and Latin if they connect.
      (Ending in "A" = feminine.)
      Hope this helped, Cheers :)
