A long and strange one folks, that's the Mabinogion for you. Hope you enjoy. Lots of footage of the beautiful Welsh countryside. To support my work as a folklorist and storyteller on the ancient Celtic medium of Patreon, click here: www.patreon.com/TheStoryCrow?Link&
I love the tale of Bran's Cauldron.....I've always felt it was the true Holy Grail before the Xtians twisted our old tales to their suiting. I grew up on LLoyd Alexander's version in the book "The Black Cauldron" with the evil Cauldron-Born shambling about trying to kill Taran and his friends. It was kind of a genius way of tricking all us little Yankee kids to learn to love Welsh myth and history. :)
@@TheStoryCrow Disney made a cartoon of it...well tried! They didn't quite capture the magick of the books I'm afraid. But that's ok, I'm just going to sit back patiently and wait for you to give us a "Battle of the Trees" like you did this lovely story. ;)
That has always been my intuition....... the cauldron of 'ressurection' is the precursor of holy grail of everlasting life....... well, it certainly is a good contender.
Oh there is so much truth in the old stories. My ancestors are Irish and Scottish, and the Celtic and Gaelic mythologies are very powerful even, (especially?) today. Thank you so much.
Loved the narration of this story and the comments … fantastic… I have Irish, Scots, French and English ancestry, and these old myths are fascinating to me
What an Incredible story! You are a great story teller, maybe Dagda or Balor taught you themselves how to tell of their deeds. The lessons I got from this story is, no matter how great and all loving the warmth of your kindness and good nature is, you need to answer Disrespect with Violence and not forgive it easily. Because if forgiving it fails then you'll open the door for lots of enemies to grow up out of the ground around you and destroy you and make you suffer. A kind leader can only afford to be good, when he is willing to punish disrespect with violence. Small slights can not be let go, or things get worse. Forgiveness is a mistake and things become worse when disrespect is not punished. Leaders can not allow disrespect to go unpunished and neither can anyone else who wishes to stay safe. The Irish King forgave easily and was weakened and destroyed by his own people for it who saw him as weak, and Bran did not forgive and invaded with an army and was loved and respected. Reminds me of the story of Roman Emperor Nerva and his inability to punish people which led to dissent and traitors who led him to his downfall. Forgiveness is a mistake, Revenge has to be taken because Disrespect needs to be punished and repaid. Only then can Peace happen, or you'll be seen as an easy victim by ambitious people. It's harsh but a lesson to learn especially for timid pacifist people who never stand up for themselves. Get Revenge🕯️ There's a really good Irish Fiction story I'd like to recommend, it's a YA Horror Novel about the same level as Harry Potter. It's called "Bec Demonata Series By Darren Shan" The whole audiobook is on Yt and watching this great video I was greatly reminded of Becs story in Medieval Iyreland with great historic fantasy elements. The book is good, but I really recommend the Audiobook since it's got accurate great voice acting and is a great story to listen to just like this video. It's about Demons in Medieval Ireland! And Druids!
OH, THE HORSES!!😫 Luckily I was in my happy place during that, elbow-deep in pumpkin guts. For some reason Patreon didn't take payment from my account this month; I have no idea why. This will be rectified. I'm truly sorry for the pause.
So good! As usual well told with the excitement and imagery transplanted into my imagination. What lovely respite from thefuckery here in the States. Well wishes and giveNero a big hug and head ruffle for me.
The two brothers SET against each other, Cain and Abel, Set and Horus. It always reminds me of Castor and Pollux even though they had a strong bond. One was immortal, and the other wasn't, and after Castors death, they spent half their time in the underworld A division on the inside. Is the underworld earth? Seems like it to me. We are all unc8ncious here. I often wonder why the 13th sign stradles the big wheel, with a sine. A bridge, uniting two sides, a true leader. The world is a stage where mythologies are our templates to help us navigate through the themes we call our lives. Archetypes are inside of us all. As above, so below, and it's all written and sung and played out in those stars. I watch them on stellarium. The comet has just travelled through Ophicius through the tail of the snake, reversal. We are going back in time to clean out our closets. Are we ever going to learn from any of it and history? If we dont make wars with the true tyrants, those tyrants will send our sons to war. Cauldron, the big wheel. Reincarnation into the same themes. Warrior themes, til they learn to set their swords down on the inside. Children, who remember their previous lives talk about the space they occupy between lives. Some die anc pushed straight back down to earth to live another life. We are here to evolve beyond our bullshit thats been sewn into our seams since our births to keep us all under control. All they do now is paralise people with fear and turn the world into a living hell. Bìcker and bitch at eachother like pansiez and these people rule our world. Insanity. Whose the real tyrannt? I keep these words in my head, as above so below, as within so whatever it is, we reflect what we reject on the inside of ourselves so life constantly shows us mirrors in the form of people and experiences til we get it, we are all blind. My point is it like compass points 🧭 + the true cross? Balance, mind, body , soul. Underworld is Pluto and Pluto has just entered Aquarius for 20 odd years I believe. Dark Knight the soul for all humanity. Our cups are being spilled and emptied. How else can the new themes of Aquarius be born if we are still all indoctrinated with the Bullshit themes that should of died a natural death at the end of their individual ages. They've kept them alive and trapped our minds in them. They're already using g using the knew themes against us, Internet, Inter/ Net , Web. Ahriman. Guy whose making the chips and refers to hos 12 children as batches like battery hens, is the biggest wolf in sheeps clothing alive. Brilliant, Thankyou ✌️
@@TheStoryCrowIt would make sense, ego, superego, subliminal and the unconcious, tis what makes us blind and easy to brainwash. It's Platos cave, we never got out and the ones who think they have are deluded. It's another blindfold placed o er the forefront of their minds, that binds,and blinds. I look back at my life and see my own blindfolds and I'm not free of them. The Internet is the new blindfold, its called a world wide wen for a,reason spun by poisonous spiders who intention towards thd human race isn't good. I often wonder if we are shadows until we bring our shadows out into the light we are forever bound here under the rule of 12 but they've got 13 because it's hidden for a reason. Split an infinity symbol in half you have two sine waves, get it? Polarities? Is that a bridge, together they becone one.
I wonder if this is the sort of myth with history behind it... It would explain why Rome did not find any unity in the relatively isolated British isles

Absolutely PERFECT ❤🔥🤌
I'm your new fan you are the best storyteller
Agreed!!! I found this channel not long ago and his story telling is so enjoyable ❤️
Thank you both very kindly, glad you enjoy the mythic content 🙏✨🐦⬛
Love this 🙂💚 it's grand how Bran seems to grow in stature during the stories 😅
That’s true, there’s almost a dreamlike quality to his changing size
@TheStoryCrow and you really are such a wonderful teller of stories 😊 thanks again 💙

Liking the slightly more sweary delivery on this one. Folk tales are best when they are bawdy!

Love your work , but please when will you conclude your ridgeway story !
Soon I promise! 🙏✨
@@TheStoryCrow Thank you sir!
Excellent rendition as always, great vid , thanks and praise 🙏

Wonderful telling! Thank you!
Wow 👌
Love the presentation + stunning views. You're my favourite Bard 💛 💓 💕
Great! I did wonder if you would ever tackle Bran the wonderous head. Bran the blessed. A proper celtic tale, it has everything you'd expect.
Wales seems to ooze ancient history. Wonderful.
HELLO,YOU......I love your storys............Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
Great story lots to think on 🤟
Came for Brian Blessed, stayed for Bran the Blessed

We went from mapping the universe and developing a web of interconnected spiritual sites to worshipping decapitated heads. Well done Celts.
WOW Youre a great storyteller
-What's in this sack hanging on the column?
-Just a bag of flour.

-Not at all. It's self raising.
A Thousand times YES 😭

Aww inner dialogues galore. Ones of romance I hear.
