Mate, your editing and comedic timing is getting way better! Not to brag, but I have seeen way too many English Beer Bellies than is necessary for any human. I think being nicked by us Christians was a better fate. At least we equated them to the Trinity or some metaphysical concept other than "It looks nice innit? I is lookin well 'ard."
I wouldn’t call that a brag! That and tribal tattoos, definitely start trying to have a fight after one to many at the pub “I’ll spark ya mate” And thank you man it’s getting there just comes with the experience, and learning from people I enjoy watching myself! Which reminds me I got a few people I need to catch up on!
have you tried looking at these 'knots' (e.g. Celtic or Nordic knots). The eye tries to track the paths over and under. Trying to imagine the knot clearly within yourself has some interesting effects. The inner mind tries to track along the paths. An especially interesting firmness comes - trying to 'knot', center, point and condense the energies of the head. Like an exercise.
Wow the Celtic Knot is much younger than I thought it was. I always assumed it was a part of Celtic culture since before the Romans but color me a fool
@Anathena Productions "Captured by Christianity" and the other attributes you made between Celtic art & Irish Christianity is a complete misrepresentation. As we all know, the evangelization of Ireland properly took off during and after the mission of Saint Patrick. The 'adoption' of Celtic art into Christianty wasn't substigation at all, it became adopted because the people who converted were already using the Celtic art style, which is what they then used in the artstyle of the religion they joined. This can be seen across many cultures across the world. In Japan with the Shimabara, in Etheopia with the Etheopian Orthodox Church, with the Copts in the Coptic Orthodox Church, in China, the list goes on endlessly.
1:54 Many knots here are anglo Saxon . Not celtic . This Germanic knotwork did not exist in britain before the germanic invasions of Britain. The Victorians are the ones who popularised "celtic knotwork" term. The saxons were influenced by the Roman knotwork which is not related to celtic knotwork as it uses a floral form different to the later Celt knotwork influenced by the Germanics. The Earliest Evidence archeologically of this Knotwork in Britain is Anglo Saxon not Celtic.
Salin Style 1 is the Earliest form of this Knotwork to exist . it is from 400 AD and is Saxon not Celtic. When Saxons were pagans. Saxons influenced the celts to using their knotwork patterns in Britain
How do you not have more subscribers? This whole channel has great production quality and I love the little info-humor-info sandwiches :D

Thank you SO much for this. Super educational and had a good laugh too. Thanks!

Good video, this guys voice is not annoying which is good too

As did I before I started my research I thought it was pre-roman too
Celtic knots are fairly young, yes, but Celtic spiral designs are found throughout Gaul going back 2000BC.
They're not young, some can date back to the stone age such as the Solomons knot for example.
Keep it up dude I dig the channel
Thank you mate! Look forward to seeing you around some more
Would you ever be interested in making a series about all the different patterns?
So is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Exactly. It was almost as if he were purposely trying to put Christianity in a bad light. Like it was an outside raiding army

Most of these are Anglo Saxon art.
