    You never cut into or down a Rowan tree. They are sacred and often, the "shee" live under them.

    This is not just Irish mythology, our's as well. It's the mythology of the Gaels in Alba (Scotland), sometimes called Caledonia, the name comes from the Land of the Coll/the land of Hazel Trees. We too have our rag trees and our legends concerning rowan, elder, birch, hazel, oak, etc. You're doing your subscribers a disservice by pretending the Goidelic speaking peoples (and their mythologies) belong only to Erinn. They belong to Alba and Man as well, If you've studied the mythology you'll know that a lot of what takes place happens on mainland Scotland and on the Isle of Skye. It is worth noting that at a time when the Gaels lived in clans/tribes and were spread over these lands, they existed as one nation split into different alliances. In the Christian era, to save it from the plundering norsemen, what is now known as the Book of Kells, was sent there from Scotland for safe-keeping. It bears some writings inside, in Scots Gaelic which show its origins.

      Who said that it's only Irish? The video never said that once...the Goidelic of Scotland came over from Ireland much later. Ireland had it from around 1000BC, Scotland (from Ireland) in the 5th century AD. As for the book of Kells, what does that have to do with this mythology, as it's Latin/Christian? No one in Ireland claimed it to be Irish, but the writings within may have been completed there. This page is about Irish Trees, not Scottish....go find them instead and chat away 😂

    I have Irish ancestors , Mary Atkins from Dublin 1800's . oddly i grow many trees from seeds collected. i also have a forrest in my home, ancient peoples spoke of the tree dwellers as serpents/ nagas, Teachers of enlightenment, Buddhism in this modernity dismisses the buddha recieves enlightenment from a tree dwelling teacher nagas, bible story of the serpent and knowledge tree a borrowing from the indus river culture, So eve was picking knowledge . ?

      The Tree of Knowledge is in the Book of Genesis, which was written ages before Christianity existed.
