Here's me attempt. I cut up trees into thin slices called "paper." I then crush berries into a mush for its color, this colored mush I call "ink." Ink stands out when put on paper. I arrange the ink on paper into patterns to communicate a lot of different ideas.

There's much more, too.

Here the 'n' in the "Ár n-Athair" is like in English, if you said "A Elephant" it sounds strange, so you add an 'n' in to the mix "An Elephant. In Irish it would sound really odd to say "Ár Athair" so a little n get's added to the mix, but because languages work differently it goes on the front of the word, so it's written small, so you can see what the original first letter was. Think "A n-Elephant" (this is a bit of an over implication, there're lots of this initial mutations in Irish) "Ár Nathair" would mean "Our Snake" ™Ár nAthair" means "Our Father" They sound a bit similar, but only in the way that two similar sounding English words might sound similar. That's the problem with just looking words up in isolation, you can't learn a language with just a dictionary.

@@teacoon6399 Probably by the common people yeah. But they still held a pretty high place in folklore. An ancient high king was supposedly raised by wolves, and he was followed into battle by them. Other stories often have wolves coming to the aid of lost travellers. Even the name for wolf in Irish "Mac Tír", means son of the land. A very romantic sort of name.
My theory is Brendan killing the Crom (the last pagan god of Ireland) effectively erased all of the remaining pagan magic , which explains why Aisling is stuck in wolf form in the end .
Nice Theory, but didnt we literally saw her flashed as a human one last time near the end? But it is clear that paganism was on its was out by the film's start. Brendan defeating the crom was just the last straw
this always felt like a fever dream for me i watched it once or twice so long ago and never saw it again but it always lingered in the back of my head and i could never put my finger on it
The annoyed look on Aislings face when Brendan calls him a fairy (because she not neccesarily a fairy tbh) 😂 The prequel comics did confirm Aisling is the last of the Tuatha de Dannan. Sources are a bit unclear whether the Tuatha are the pre-chrisitian deities of Ireland, OR supernaturally gifted race if 'humans' who were taught magic and arts by the goddess Danu ( hence the title) 🤷♂️. Eitherway, this makes her ending abit bittersweet because its kinda implied she lost her powers.
Humans are not like most other animals. They take and they take, and then when you think they've had their fill, they take some more. Wherever they go, forests become fields and all but the smallest animals must flee. They are not necessarily bad, but they do not coexist easily with nature.
@@garcalej I'm glad someone could verify the problem we tend to have with nature. It's just that we humans are not designed to completely live in a natural area. That is why we have agriculture, and while we have since recognized the common problems caused by building land and deforestation, the truth is we can coexist with nature. But we need to work on it to maintain a balance between urban areas and natural habitats, and know that resources on Earth are not infinite.
You wonder now after seeing Wolfwalkers... was Aisling a long lost descendant of the wolfwalkers? Think: Wolfwalkers were wiped out except for mebh and her mother Aisling's mother was taken/killed Mebh can turn into a wolf at any given time when she's asleep Aisling can change into a wolf at any given time. Coincidence? (Again, just my thoughts on it.)
Never noticed before now but I like the detail that Aisling is annoyed when Brenden calls her a fairy. Being a member of the Tuatha De Danann she would naturally find the name demeaning; same as how the Daoine Sidhe in Song of the Sea were also annoyed by being called fairies. The idea of, no matter what you got to show the old gods respect, no matter how their rank in the cosmos.
In my mind I thought it was quite mysterious and interesting, I would always find a way to watch scary/shows not my age. But now it’s really cute and funny!
