Nothing left to invade with everything bombed to oblivion tbh
The Witches would say that all magic is coincidence 😜
Sounds like a plot from a Hellboy comic, in the best way possible.
Should be the next Hellboy movie!

Sounds like a prequel to Harry Potter.
Even if you're skeptical of the ritual actually doing anything, you got to admit the timing was pretty damn awesome. After all, it's not like they'd be able to predict the N/zis' dumbassery.
Sergeant Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse Elric would take the real nature of the ritual to their grave.
Lammas Night by Katherine Kurtz. Fictionalized account
Don't you mean Major cause state alchemists start out as majors.
They casted a Spell that he wouldnt invade, he never invaded

I cast a spell protecting us from Big Foot, Ghosts, Fairies and Aliens. But I failed in my spell to protect us from Psychics. Can't figure out why.
It's funny y'all believe in this fairytale stuff but not in God...
@@megancrager4397 Most witches believe in gods, just not necessarily the same ones as you. Doesn't make them any more or less valid than yours, just different
There’s a fantasy/fiction version of this incident written by Katherine Kurtz called Lammas Night. It’s very well written and a plausible telling of what might have happened.
The idea that "The Land" has to be fed royal blood every seven years so things will go smoothly is just unpleasant.
Loved that book.
Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee. Spell unclear, my 80 year old neighbor was arrested for indecent exposure, instead of defeating Nazi's with an animated suit of empty armor.
Well, the Nazis did not invade Britain, so it worked right!?

It absolutely worked. On an unrelated note do you want to buy a rock that keeps tigers away.
@@FakeSchrodingersCat it's like saying, hey! You want a Bible that helps you get into heaven?
Can’t definitively prove they didn’t help 😂
@@FakeSchrodingersCat false magic does not exist.
Idunno man, maybe those tactical fuckups and other delays to the invasion were part of the spell.
I mean
Its possible 🙍
Exactly! With those fuckups in mind, it sounds like they got help from Loki. He does love both magic and trickery after all.
Lack of landing crafts was also caused by the spells
Magick uses coincidence to an amazing extent. I wouldn't be surprised at anything.
You use what you've got, folks.
People were praying in churches too.
I was going to say just this. The Cone of Power was just like all the Christians praying during the war. We all express our hope for peace in different ways.
It's funky how my judeo-christian raised brain's initial reaction was: "What a group of weirdos?", but if you had told a story about a bunch of Christians gathering on Easter Sunday and praying while gathered in a circle my brain would have just thought: "Business as usual.".
Well, to atheist me, that chant didn't sound too far off what we heard from Trump's "spiritual advisor" Paula White,supposedly Christian, sound the time of the election...
My neo-druidess brain just went “meh”.

Even if the magic doesn't work, it's still a social ritual, like with any religion, that gives people a feeling of agency and control over stuff outside their control.
Well said.
Yeah, but it depresses me that humans would prefer a false sense of control to a true assessment of the situation and preparation for possible moves.
@@rickc2102 Indeed. But in times of extreme stress, I think itmight be comforting to believe in something greater. Nobody wants to think that they might die at any moment for 'nothing'.
Though I'll agree that the false sense of control you mention is often what got them into such situations in the first place.
@@rickc2102Some people prefer illusion to despair.
Yeah but you're lying to yourself and others, is there really any good in that?
I mean, do you really need a reason to run around nude, and chant in the woods?
Yes. A very good reason. Like you’re hanging out with joe Rogan & your both tripping balls

So Bedknobs &Broomsticks is a documentary?
Was looking for this.
Not very original
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge did your mother never tell you that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all?
This makes as much sense as other religions' prayers and supplications.
3:45 The halting of the Spanish Armada was said to have inspired Shakespeare's The Tempest with Queen Elizabeth's Court Astrologer/Advisor, Dr. John Dee, serving as inspiration for Prospero.
I don't think you've done a Biographics on Dr. Dee as of yet, no? Imho, it would be a wildly entertaining episode. From being convicted of treason for the foretelling of Queen Mary's death and Princess Elizabeth's succession, or what may possibly be the first use of stunt wires to fly above an audience, to his later work with divining the Angelic language, Enochian.
I may be the only one who thinks so, but his partner for this latter story, Edward Kelley, could have also served as inspiration for Rumpelstiltskin, a few centuries later.
I don't understand the connection to rumple stiltskin can you explain?
@@jaydwy8069 Sure thing. It's a bit of a stretch and I did find a number of discrepancies between the two stories, but all this was about 200 years before the publishing of Grimm's Fairy Tales so it's fun to think about how the retelling would have mutated during that time.
Nearing the end of their service to England, Kelley acquired the knowledge to transmute metal into Gold and he and Dee had an audience with the nobility of Prague and Poland in late 1583. They were unsuccessful in impressing either and were left to travel bohemian around Central Europe. Dee wanted to continue his work with the Enochian language whereas Kelley wanted to spread word about his ability to turn metal to Gold. During a séance, Kelley was able to convince Dee that the two of them should share everything, including their wives. Dee's wife gave birth to a son the next year, with rumours of Kelley being the father. (it's unlikely that this knowledge was common to the point where it would have been part of the story, but I think it's a neat detail, with Rumplestiltskin demanding a child as payment though Kelley was largely apathetic) Kelley and Dee would split ways in 1589 with Kelley entering the service of Emperor Rudulf II of Prague by means of that same alchemical promise.
I guess this is where he also becomes the Daughter from the Rumplestiltskin story because soon after, he was imprisoned for Fraud and locked up until he was able to produce Gold. He was able to reattempt the experiment a number of times over the next decade but would fail at each. He would later attempt escape where he broke his leg and later died from his injuries.
Definitely, we need a Bio on Dr. Dee. Btw, he is the primary villain of a set of short stories I once wrote on an arcane shadow war set during the Easter Rising to the Irish War of Independence (Anglo-Irish War) from 1916 to 1921.
I can’t articulate how amazing John Dee’s Biographic would be. The man was truly something.
Not enough tea for a truly British ritual.

I do love how thanks to The Venture Bros every time I hear the name Aleister Crowley I see Eugen Sandow lifting him up so he can throw him out of a dirigible while Fantômas jeers "Let's see if the chubby wizard can fly"
The wierdest part about Crowley is that he was actually a British spy. Like, batshit insane, but a legit spy

Imagine a woman being effective and sensible during wartime… AM I RIGHT PETER?!?
I just recently read a series that referenced the British story why current day fictional witches are not seen in a good light by law enforcement, who knew it was based on a true story.
Simon is the live long learner, that forgets whatever he just presented ;)
If you want someone who remembers what Simon learned, check out Fact Fiend. Karl makes his living being a researcher for UA-cam channels and eventually started a channel where he could talk about the cool stuff that didn't make the cut.
This video reminded me of a fascinating book by Katherine Kurtz, called "Lammas Night," where a British royal is involved in an occultists' plot to prevent the German invasion of the island. It's an entertaining read but the author of the Deryni series. Glad you mentioned "Bedknobs and Broomsticks," a favorite of mine (Angela Lansbury in her musical comedy mode).
Funfact: Simons beard is around 4 years old
Legend has it that underneath the beard of Simon of Whistler lies the closely guarded secret of becoming a successful multi channel UA-camr along with the entire history of the world. Some claim the lost city of Atlantis lays there hidden under a bottle of beard oil but no one really knows!! All we can say is that it is an enigma and one should never look straight in to it.

What people think Witches do: worship satan, hex, summon demons, sacrifice babies
What actual Witches do: fight nazis, vibe check, bake bread 🥰✨
Lol, kitchen witch?
what actual witches do: not exist
@@turperper7494 Tell that to the millions of kitchen witches all across the U.S. The common misconception is that witches dont actually exist. They do. What doesnt exist is this "hollywood" portrayal of magick being this big, powerful physical force capable of doing anything. Kitchen witches, keeping their chakras aligned and their karma in the positive, very much so do exist.
Vibe check?
@@brandonwirtz2308
the THOUSANDS of kitchen witches are striving off a contrarian idea of a witch which was not invented by Hollywood. rather, the european portrayal of a witch. witches are a concept that have been invented by cultures all over the globe, and im not completely opposed to a NEW idea of what a witch is. what i am opposed to is the sentiment that magic and chakras is anything more than bullshit and occasional correctness.

Hi! Could you show us how the Korean war is taught in North and South Korea? Thank you!
Well in north korea they teach that the US is evil.
IIRC, North Korea teaches that South Korea is still occupied in 2021, which is obviously just a lie created to discourage defection
"Thank you, now stand on this pyre."

So Dumbledore vs Grindenwald was based on true story?
Next on MegaProjects:
"The Wicca Effort to De-Fascist the US!"
Reaction to the title alone: good for them!
Thank you, Eglantine Price!
It reminded me of bushfires in Australia a year or so ago. Everyone worldwide shared "pray for rain" on FB, all witches made some spells for rain and so on. Do you know what happened after? We got so much rain that crocodiles at the zoos swam out of their territories due the water level rising and all the other animals had to be evacuated. It's all about concentrated power of mind.
Collective big brains
And the SES was busy for months, after they'd already been busy for months backing up the RFS and CFS around the continent. Twas a busy time
I'm shockingly unsurprised that not only has Brittain tried to use magic in a war, but that it also has a habit of doing so. In fact, I always assumed similar, but feel ever vindicated now.
It’s those enchanted forests in the UK I think.
Really interesting,thank you
Dumbledore be like “look at these silly muggles attempting magic. Stand aside and let the real wizards take care of the Nazis.”
Sure, buy into their propaganda. Everyone knows damn well they were secretly supporting the Axis powers.
@Cara Marais "on the western front we have Hitler and his armies... and over here on the wizard front we have gay wizard Hitler"
-i can't remember which podcaster
If Dumbledore was a noble wizard, he would definitely side with the German National Socialists. Some captured British warriors did join the Waffen-SS when they realized Soviet Communism was the real enemy of Europe. Likewise, some British subjects went to Germany before the British Empire declared war on Germany to help the propaganda effort. James Joyce was the most famous example. He was shamefully murdered by the British government as being a "traitor" after the war. How can he be a traitor when he argued for peace and mutual understanding between Britain and Germany?
So this joke went way darker than I thought it would, lol
@@stormrider1375 honestly wanted to read a bit more on this and googled "James Joyce". I can't find one who was executed following world war 2. Wanna link it for me?
Novelized in the excellent book "Lamas Night" by Katherine Kurtz.
indeed, one of my favorites
plus YES it was also an inspiration for BedKnobs and Broomstcks (on the more humorous side)
There are several books I read in the 90s that talk about the Wards of Britain being raised.
Iirc one of those Witches was Dion Fortune, if you enjoy this kind of thing I suggest you check out her fiction novels. They’re like Bertie Worcester meets the occult.
Damn, I need to get some of this magical thinking and strip down to try to dance my dog back to health. I’d forgo the grease if it meant my dog would make a full recovery from her spinal injury. Of course, it’s also summer and I don’t think rubbing down with grease is smart around a bonfire…also, what kind of grease, it was the war, so,certainly not an animal or vegetable product. Clearly, this whole thing must take more brain power than I have, as I can’t even get over my lack of belief in the supernatural.

As a long term patron of THE GREAT COURSES, I would just like to add to Simon and say their philosophy courses are incredible. I don't have anything to do with them outside of being a customer since the late 90s (I bought a Shakespeare lecture series), but I will be checking them out.
Well the Nazis never did invade so who's to say the spell did not work. Odin promised to eliminate the frost giants, when was the last time you encountered a frost giant. Christ promised the meed would inherit the earth, still waiting.

I was thinking about this the other day.
Me: Witches vs Nazis. It will make a fun escapism movie.
Also me: Bedknobs and broomsticks?
Somebody tag Blumhouse, they need to see this 😆
I’ve seen that movie many times during my life. If my mom ever heard of this while she was in Britain she probably went “wouldn’t they worry about getting scratched by brambles and sharp rocks?” Although depending on where Highcliff on the Sea (that is the town the ritual was supposed to have taken place, right?) she probably never did.
We need to crack the Enigma code!
No...I have a better idea....
Why not both?
@@capturedflame The Waco ceremony doesn't sound expensive or divert many war resources. One time, eh. It's not as if it's a huge project with expensive equipment.
Funny you should mention that, because the man who did crack the Enigma code was Alan Turing, a homosexual who was also outcast from society and who received as grand thanks for his effort chemical castration under the law, complete revocation of all of his honors, and the loss of his career. And he was the man leading the team who came up with the math to crack Enigma. A very real-world kind of "witch" with powers beyond those of mere mortals or any other Allies on their side at the time who used numbers and arcane formulae to get inside the minds of the enemies and steal all their plans from afar.
Turing is also the father of modern computing, and the author of the Turing Test to determine between AI and biological intelligence, which runs a contest every year and even today has yet to be won (no AI passes the Turing Test yet).
When Turing fell into despondency and despair at the end of his life he supposedly put on the costume of Snow White and killed himself by ingesting an apple soaked in cyanide. Although denied by Wozniack and Jobs, the apocryphal tale spread by early computer fandom was that the original logo of the rainbow apple with a bite taken out of it for Apple Computers was a direct nod to Alan Turing and his method of death. It's become something of the legend of Bagger Vance now -- "when the legend becomes accepted as the truth, print the legend".
Homosexuals were treated so horriibly by society at large that when everyone else was rescued from the Concentration camps, the gays there were locked up in prison immediately and never freed (the pink triangle was Hitler's symbol for the gays in the camps to single them out for extra harsh treatment from the guards, and the gays are the only group to have successfully reclaimed one of the Nazi symbols of oppression and turned it into the flag of global Pride... magic, no?)
So yeah, the witches made up some PR because they were too old and wanted to be cut some slack to worship as they felt called by conscience instead of read the riot act for being weird. Gardner's faith has done very well for itself and even poor old Alan Turing finally got a formal post-mortem pardon and restoration of full honors by the Crown not too long ago.
Just because the actions, beliefs, and personal lives of others doesn't map to a narrow social or religious role of patriotism doesn't mean that mainstream society is free of debt to the marginalized.
Whether you believe in witchcraft or not, whether the ritual actually took place or not, GBG and his fellows did do one thing, and that's wage a war of disinformation and grassroots participation in the war effort. Not too bad for a group of seniors at the time who couldn't lift a haversack.
@@pacio49 One of the people instrumental in defeating the German military was a person with no value to the Nazis. If only Hitler had a grave to spin in.
@@pacio49 oooof... I'm on your side. But homie is right. That's a bad comparison in the context of this conversation.
Good try though. Arguing for freedom of religion isn't easy in the best case scenarios.
But please don't compare computers to magic. Or inherent aspects of a persons identity to someone's chosen ideology.
I was raised wiccan, and I believe you just committed a massive faux pas.
Dion Fortune also participated with her followers in the Magical Battle of Britain.
This would make a fantastic movie.
There's a book, written by Katherine Kurtz called "Lammas Night" dealing with this.
All the Bedknobs and Broomstick comments were already made! I have a relative I am caregiver for, who has dementia. That is on the list of 20 or so films we watch every week, year in and year out. It is also a nostalgic childhood favorite.

A rousing success!
These are the videos I go to when I need to eat and watch something
If the Wiccans of Britain worked to stop these invasions then Bully For Them! To not help defend their home would have been treasonous.
It worked.

Knowing nothing about the story and yet to watch the video, I read the title and thought to myself 'Tried? I mean, it worked.'
Try my dragon repellant. It works.

Loved Bed Knobs and Broomsticks…
How about making a video on Argentina’s post WW2 nuclear program? It is curious enough due to spiralling costs and claims involved
Sideproject or Megaprojects?
The scene where unyielding armor golems beat the living shit out of Nazis is one of the best. The Executioner could be a Silent Hill monster that could rival Pyramidhead.
Another thing to keep in mind; Gardner probably had that ritual, and I'm willing to bet Crowley did, too. It's not "either/or". Why not both, especially as they weren't the only ones? The video missed another famous one: Dion Fortune, who wrote a book called "The Magical Battle of Britain" where she and initially witches, but later, *anyone* who wanted to worked to defend Britain with magic and intent - beginning in 1939. As books go, it's dry, being based from letters....but it still looks like Dion had them both beat by a year.
It was worth a shot.
The Canadian soldiers were too polite to tell Crowley that they didn't want to take part in his ritual.
"Tried?" I never heard of a Nazi invasion of England who knows how they tipped the hand of fate, just good to hear everyone was doing their part
Oden took on the ice giants- there are no more ice giants
