    Randall Carlson is an amazing teacher. He has a way of making even the most complex topics seem like a campfire tale. I've had the great privilege of going on some geology trips with Randall and I learned more in those few weeks than in all my years of school. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join Randall on these trips and in his classes. Check out his site for dates.
    The vast majority of the human story is a complete mystery. As Graham Hancock would say, "We are a species with Amnesia." We have forgotten where we came from, & therefore we have lost sight of why we're here and where we are going.
    "The ancient knowledge will again abound & overflow, as water upon the earth. The remains of this knowledge are everywhere about us, in everyday use & perfect." - J. Ralston Skinner

      @@JohnDoe-ef3wo From my perspective, I am not interested in EVERYTHING being bent into some Christian ideology/truth that is based on that persons "interpretation" of the bible. I do not believe in prophecy, but do see that predictions based on observation and other influences does happen. In other words, if some dude bragged about being able to grab women by their genitals...I think of my females in what I call family: I call them mom, sister, cousins, and grandma...especially when the man WAS 59 years old at the time...just a total creep (If in his early 20's, well, still clueless, but not an additional 30 years later)...that "jesus" approves of, right? mmmkay...not listening to that upside down Jesus logic.
      I would argue that Christians are the source of their OWN problems with society...and I am not saying society is perfect...Christian imply that they are though.

    Thank you for hosting RCarlson. I've thought about Celtic year & realize it makes more sense then current understanding of when seasons begin. The Midway points between solstices and equinoxes mark beginnings of seasons with the solstices and equinoxes marking MIDseason. Samhain marks the midway between Autumn equinox and Winter Solstice, which marks the Beginning of Winter, the darkest QUARTER of the year. Imbolc is midway between Winter Sol & Spring equinox marking the beginning of Spring; Beltane, the beginning of Summer & Lughnasadh, the beginning of Autumn. Each season has 13 weeks, with midseason being solstices & equinoxes. Currently, we are told the seasons BEGIN with the midpoints... we've lost so much understanding of marking the seasons.

It's sad that people will only ever learn anything if it's featured on social media, they just sit and wait for things to be delivered to be consumed without the curiosity to seek it out. I hope that changes. That being said I'm grateful this was produced and posted.

    Wow! So, a couple things pop out at me. 1) The “broom-star” as an ill omen must be where the tradition of witches riding brooms came from, and 2) the quintessential ghost costume of a white sheet over the head with eyeholes cut out looks exactly like what Randall showed of a comet shooting through the sky. Fascinating stuff!! I love Randall’s lectures!

    • @whatabouttheearth
      @whatabouttheearth 2 роки тому

      The flying of brooms motif came from testimonials at witch trials to "flying" to ritual after taking entheogens, primarily using plants of the genus Solanaceae that are hallucinogens such as Bella Donna, Datura and Mandragora (mandrake). This has been well documented. I suggest the book 'The Witches Ointment' by Thomas Hatsis. Cauldrons were used to cook up the drugs/medicines/poisons, brooms were used to clean up, and all these things were employed in rituals which used entheogens.
      Thinking about it in the way you are saying it is interesting that one of the possible meanings of the name Ekate (Hekate), the Anatolian/Greek goddess of witchcraft is 'The far shooter'

      Finish folks from Karelia also share the connection with Pliades and Halloween. They believe it is when our ancestors and loved ones who have passed over are closest/ the veil between worlds is thinnest as they believe Pliades is where they reside.

    I have unlearned so much from this channel and you Mr. Randall! I’d like to thank you! Many indigenous communities like mine celebrate Ghost Supper around this time. If you read this, we love that we are now being included in the human story of the Americas and our ways of celebrating Creation. It’s a new tradition, Halloween and I see nothing wrong at all with a day where we honor the young! That’s what modern Halloween essentially does. Children get a voice and a choice (ideally). Honors the hedon within. All things are equal.

    The typical and fanciful history of Halloween begins this way:
    There once was a group of religious people called the Druids.
    They practiced what we today call Halloween.
    The End.
    I was never satisfied with that explanation because it failed to answer the following question-
    Where and How did they come up with this stuff?
    Mr Carlson does a deep dive and shares the pre- Celtic truly ancient origins of the very roots of the ancient practices of honoring and mourning the dead. The Whys, the Whos, the Wheres and the Hows.
    And the significance of both the Biblical and the secular customary historical accounts surrounding a Great Flood.
    Excellent commentary.

    Randall!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take a look at the Himalayan mountains and apply your theory there. From my perspective, it looks like a glacier used to sit just north of the mountains, and the flood waters went all the way across North Africa and to Western Australia carving out the east and west Asian landscapes and burying cities across North Africa.

    I watched an older video by Randall last year on the same subject, think it was called "The Cosmic Origins of Halloween" and it blew my mind. I went to look for it again this year to refresh myself on the topic, as it is October and I love to immerse myself in the historical (and pre-historical) origins of my favourite holiday Halloween, and the video was gone- not on UA-cam anymore. I am so happy to see that Randall teamed up with AfterSkool to create this vid; what an important treasure is this presentation of Randall's excellent work. Thank you so much to Randall and AfterSkool for this. Also, I would love to see that older video again as well, as it contained much of the same info but it was slightly different as I recall. Anyone know where to find that?

    In Welsh who follow a similar Celtic story to the Irish & Scottish , November is called "Tachwedd" meaning "slaughter" as it was the ritual slaughter & feasting of the livestock to fuel you for "the dark half" of the year - Sowain / Samhain as the Scottish / Irish refer to it. In Welsh, Halloween is "Noson calan Gaeaf" - "the winter night of the new year". This was the counter part to May's "Beltane" where again fire's were used to purify & bring in life to celebrate the emergence summer & nature's life-power. Bonfires were lit & kept to purify the air & bring light into the darkness ahead. The name Bonfire comes from "bone fires" which were stacked after the slaughter of the livestock.

    Interesting, this also explains the continuous use of meteor/comet symbolizing a coming of a new age/era in modern shows from the latest LOTR rings of power, Game of thrones symbolizing magic and dragons returning to the world, to the apocalyptic meteor shows in countless movies. Sorcery riding the broom comet in the sky is an interesting metaphor.

    I had read in the past that the festival of the hallows was celebrated by the ancient celtic cultures, and many of the current traditions started by them (and it was mostly focused in honoring dead people and scaring off evil spirits), but I had no idea that the 3 days were interconnected across many civilizations (many of which didn't know about each other by the time they started celebrating), might be the fact that spring can be seen as a symbol of life alongside summer, and fall as a symbol of death (i.e. dry grass, caduceus leaves falling, drying trees, etc.), or maybe there is really some sort of mysticism behind these particular 3 days... It's a similar concept about God and many civilizations through history sharing common ideas about God(s) and sometimes even common practices.

    I've been trying to research halloween and it's historical relevance for over a year now and not once had I read anything about a world wide synchronized holiday.
    I had an art teacher a long time ago who described autumn as a season of death. It's when all our crops are harvested and left to die and all the foliage withers. And it comes directly before what was often the most deadly season of the year for humans. Her explanation has always had a great deal of significance in my life.

    @24:09 The four symbols of the man, lion, bird and bull represent Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio and Taurus, the four fixed signs that appear in the middle of the seasons.
    They hold the strongest energy of each element, air, fire, water and earth.
    I’ve heard 22 Degrees of Taurus called the earthquake degree.
    I’ve always wondered why Christian art and church windows often have these astrology symbols on them because astrology is frowned upon in modern Christianity.
