- On our inaugural episode we start with “The Adventures of the Sons of Eochaidh”. This is the story of Niall Noígíallach, usually known as Niall of the Nine Hostages. It is the story of the beginning of one of the oldest royal lines in Europe, the Uí Neill.
My familial lineage comes from Niall, but more closely in our line, is Fergus mor MacEarca, and am amazed and humbled, by the times spoken of here. I appreciate so much, for the telling! For myself, I am an older woman with a lovely family. A handweaver by trade, a Norman husband named Pomeroy, and we love to live in places that are miles out of the way. While our son is working his way towards his Neuroscience degree. Many Blessings to you and yours, for what you have shared here...
My last name is Iness, it's Irish and has been mutated repeatedly through the years. My family history is lost, as is the true history of many many families, especially here in America. However, I know when I look at photos or films of the land in Ireland, I feel a pull, which I think of as an ancestral knowing or recognition of my past. Also my genetic testing from 3 different sources have all come back 75% or higher Irish/Scottish/Welsh. AND I am experiencing spiritual awakening, as I'm sure many others are at this time, so your video has been doubly enjoyable and enlightening. Thank you, friend 🤓👍
How brilliant . Nobel have I created Thee, wherefore dost thou abase thyself, Persian but so much like your interpretation. My Great grandmother arrived in the northeast as an indentured servant. we have a small contract she had to fulfill, to pay for her passage. She was five years old. She embodied nobility.
Thank you for offering this valuable sovereign understanding of the story in your commentary. I don't know that there is a better story for us to learn this kind of lesson from. We are kings of compassion and warriors of hope but also judgers of evil and defenders of the weak. Noble heart. Noble soul.
are you Irish? beannachtai
@@cynicalb at some point my ancestors were considered Irish yes. We've gone through lots of names in our migrations through the isles.
@@RavenRockGamersLodge the isles? hope you know Ireland is a republic NOT brittish although 6 counties are still occupied ,
@@cynicalb Isles is short for Islands... bro. Why the f*** are you talking to me anyways
@@RavenRockGamersLodge considered irish? that would be no then,you are not Irish
I live in Roanoke Virginia, USA and recently found out, through genetic testing, I am a descendant to King Niall. Thank you for the story and the transcript is wonderful as some of the names are difficult to pronounce and remember. I look forward to future broadcasts. Lonnie
Great to hear! Thank you for watching.
Welcome to the club 3 million men of Irish decent are direct descendants of nial of the nine hostages second only to gengis Khan who has 16 million male descendants
@@collieag imagine if they hadn't killed every first born how many there would be, forgot to mention that bit.
As for MLK and Mandela as role models, even Gandhi who was non to fond of black Africans, I think a lot more needs to be investigated.
thankful for this dude. hope to be learning alot more about my ancestral history.
Lachlan M Glad to help!
What a great story! I'm relistening to it now. I'm just starting my reading on druidry. My whole family is Irish, but we were not taught her history or culture (Americanized, we were, lol). Love this!
Amazing story and very deep analysis. Just loved it. I got caught up in the story and the magic around it. Thanks for uploading. It's a beautiful way to keep stories from dying.
Ms E Great to hear! Our next episode should be out in a few weeks.
Am from Wexford in Ireland and we don't get much of this tought to us in sckools so this is amazing to learn I new alot about this and it never gets old. So keep it coming. Am studying herber and Ir and it's very interesting.
Thanks again man
Si O'Faoláin Can there be higher praise than from a native Irishman? Go raibh maith agat!
Hahaha no problem man good to see a man loving are country keep the videos coming my friend.
I'm from Ulster and Cu Chulainn wasn't mentioned once in my 15 years of school
That's a real shame.
Dún Mór Druid Order Ahh sure he was a Leinster man anyway, well at least the Cooley peninsula is in Leinster today.
Ulster or Ulidia which it gets its name from only consisted of the territory of modern day Antrim Down and Louth at that time.
I happened upon your videos by accident and was half asleep when it started...having left the youtube running. I was surprised to be learning so much in the middle of the night by happenstance (probably not by chance..though) I heard your commentary first and watched the story after by rewinding. I am profoundly impressed with your analyis and I can say that you truely brought the tale to life from so long ago. The crackling fire is also a nice touch. Can't wait for the snow to fall to watch it again with more atmosphere. Well done and Thank you!
Great to hear you are enjoying the videos Colleen, great to get such good feedback! More to come...
I appreciate the in depth analysis. Very insightful.
I enjoyed the clarity of your rendition and insightful analysis of these enduring stories, many thanks
I ‘accidentally’ came across this video. I will watch it more than once, because there is so much wisdom and history here. Thank you!
What a wonderful channel, I've especially enjoyed (and learned from) the commentaries. Many, many blessings to all. Sláinte!
I’m happy to hear names pronounced.
Thank for this. And your time. Blessingz on your path and your well. 👊🏻🙌🏻🍁🤘🏻🖖🏻
Amazing clarity for my present spiritual dilemma. Thank you so much for affirming my uncommon values.
wow I was investigating the history of my family name (Doherty) and learnt that we are descended from Niall of the nine so was good to finally hear the story thank you.
Same here
Hey, same! (I'm a McNeilly)
Yeah nial has 3 million male descendants most makes in Ireland are his decendants
@@collieag Actually Niall's bloodline marker is found in about 20% of the Irish diaspora. And is a known genetic marker to geneticists. On the level of both Charlemagne and Ghengis Khan.
What's amazing is these places are actually still around and some as old as Egypt, Sumeria and Greece.
Newgrange is older to than Stonehenge .
@@missk1942 and the Great pyramids of Giza.
This is fascinating information as I'm one of those whose DNA goes to Niall. Your manner of speech and knowledge of ancient things make me wish I could pick your brain (figuratively, of course). I look forward to more of these gems. Have the day you need.
Thank you so much for this Analysis and these reminders!
I've been learning about the folklore a lot recently. Having come to the realisation/decision to be a devotee of the mórrígan. After years of refusing to do so haha.
I really appreciate your provision and discertation of the folklore.
I knew that I would be most likely interested in the folklore, but I had no idea just how utterly captivating it would be!
Wonderful story, refreshingly clear interpretation. Thanks so much for posting.
Thank you for your work, your words and the teachings. Beautiful recap at the end. Pricked my heart and cracked it open. Blessed be.
You are so welcome.
Been looking for legitimate Celtic lessons. ANYWHERE. Thank you for being an informed, accessible source for this knowledge.
He is my great ancestor by my Paoa, Gallagher family🕊❤😍👌
Gallagher here also💝👋🏻😃
What a beautiful telling of this story! You make it a pleasure to hear. I can't wait to listen to the rest of your videos.
I am of O hEochaidh, Hoy, Haughey, Hoey, Dal Fiatach Dynasty high 1st kings, Tuatha De Danann, Hoy, also of Orkney Island Hoy Island spelled Haey Norse, very much appreciated and enjoyed your video, all the very best health and happiness.
Great interpretation of the story and loved the analysis for it :)
I'm really looking forward to watching all your videos, man. Thank you!
Thank you Luke! More to come...
My surname is Ni Eochaidh, alive and spiritually evolving, healing ancestry. Thank you
Excellent. Thanks for uploading
Thank you for posting I love these stories please keep making videos
Enjoyed that very much - Thanks! (decendant of Niall)
Thank you for this beautiful and valuable spiritual gift
Thank you.
Fantastic. Thanku so much.
Wow brilliant ... Thank you
My grandad was from a Donegal clan with direct roots to Nial, who is therefore my ancestor.
Superb, really enjoyed this..
Love your stories my grandmother told us a few growing up but many are not told like this! Its lovely
Lovely video, thank you!
Great story . Relaxing and intriguing
I love this video and it’s many lessons
Excellent video, A++ on content and production. I've been soaking up as many videos on old Irish lore as I can, your wonderful use of your equipment makes it very easy to watch and listen to. Thank you for using a morph instead of just jumping between cuts. As for those that poo poo anything here ... as you said, live and learnand just keep doing. Don't fake an accent to appease them I wonder who here really knows how these names and places were pronounced 5k years ago if anything language is fluid. Kudos and thank you for presenting. All the best for you and yours.
I think Nial lived in the fourth and fifth centuries but you are correct, the Irish spoken then would have been primitive or old Irish so nobody knows what it sounded like.
Even today we have three different dialects of Irish spoken around the country and not to mention a host of accent variation between counties.
Thank you!
thank you very much for doing this job of compilation and the great job of explaining to us your vision about it and how it refers lately to spiritual foundation and seeking. It´s a very clear one to me as you explain it. I have to say you have the clear voice of a Bard of outer times:))) . I will seek for Dún Mór Druid Order facebook page, sure.Thanks.
Thank you for both the tale told, and the commentary. Insightful...
Very interesting.
Thanks for the interesting story and an equally marvellous interpretation
Excellent information
This was really good, thanks for putting out this sort of content.
This is great =)
I happened upon this one evening . This was wonderful
and I pray for more final explanations over the other episodes and pray too for subtitles of all of them, please.
~ Thank You ~ Blessed Imbolg to you and yours!
This is an amazing teaching! Materialism is the most dangerous 'virus' of the mind. Excellent points! Did you notice SIDHE is used in both the Celtic & Hindu meaning special powers? :-) (Shaktipat/Siddhe)
It has stayed with me. I found everything at the source.
Okay I just discovered your account, I'm already in love and can't stop listening 😍
How interesting. I had never ran into this site or the one I was just viewing. I started listening to the other one and was surprised that they mention "Saint" Patrick. I mentioned my blood line and the fact that my ancestor Fiachu was the one who captured the guy, when he was still a teen. Immediately after, I was recommended this site by UA-cam and when I click it mentions it's about Niall, Fiachu's father. I been researching my bloodline for decades, so I would have thought I would run into this site before, but as I mentioned on the other site, I believe the time has come for it all to come out. Haven't even started watching this video, but it should give me even more information. I doubt that anyone would even guess where I'm from or how many people there have Irish ancestors. If you ask anyone one to guess, they would probably guess zero. But, I believe they ended up there in the 1500's because of what is happening now and who else are among our ancestors. I'm taking notes.
Son of Niall living in America. If things went south I'd join my brothers back in Ireland.
Ireland doesn't have space for all the descendents of the diasporas, most of us Irish Americans dont even know that land, we know this land here in America. Its not like L21 didnt come from elsewhere before. I just look at it like most of us Americans are a weird form of orphan, even most latin Americans have never been to Spain, most African Americans have never been to Africa, etc. Its quite a peculiar situation.
According to Brad Larkins research 'Dna Vs. Irish Annals' (2014) the Ydna Haplotypes for Ui Neill are:
--Northern Ui Niell: L21-Z2961-M222
--Southern O'Neil: P312-Df27

Great videos! If you don't mind my asking, what books are you reading these stories from?
Thank you! Each of the stories in this series are a compilation of various folklore and written versions of the story. They often contradict each other or have pieces of the story that the others don't. We do a lot of compiling to get them to a place where they are more understandable to a modern audience.
Give Thanks.
The goddess is the Hage. The “hands breth above the rest” might refer to him having the goddesses power/favour. The goddess’s hand could be the hand of Tanit or one similar ancestry
Love your videos 😀 do you have any book recommendations?
The History of the Irish people by Seamus McManus (shaymus mic-Manus)....I found mine at a library book sale for $2.
Love it.....love it......especially the story of the great king called Connor MacArt......who was alive when Jesus was crucified
And there was a great earthquake and total darkness fell upon the whole earth......the king had no one but his druids to ask,
" what is going on?".....very very interesting and heart touching story.......😲
My maiden name is O'Neil and we're from Cookstown in County Tyrone. Didn't need a 23 and me.
וואו איזה יופי. מצאתי בית 🏡.
Here is my simple understanding of truth and reality: There is a Great Spirit Who created heaven and earth, and gives life to every living Creature. By trusting, honoring, and following that Spirit with cheerful and humble gratitude, the quality of life is optimized for myself and those with whom I associate. This is how the art of living is mastered. Connect enough dots, and a clear big picture emerges...fully integrated...it all adds up and makes perfect sense, but took me over half a century of seeking, praying, and considering what's revealed along the way.
what's the fiddle tune at the beginning?
by choosing the anvil niall chose what was most valuable to another. he placed another's needs above his own. the other brothers chose what was valuable to themselves.
only niall showed he had the character of a sovereign of the people.
I've been told over and over again by Irish citizens that his name is pronounced like Niel or Neel and not like Nile. From what I've been told, Niel is the Gaelic (and correct) pronunciation, while Nile is the anglicisation pronunciation. In other words, Nile is the Americanized pronunciation.
No it's not it is in this case pronounced "Nile" as you put it .
..yea,, correct,, "Ní al" would be closer,, pretty sure it means,,, "without wealth". It's the KEY to reading our ancient stories,, knowing what the "NAMES" mean.
Im Irish and it nial
So the millions of us who have DNA which was supposed to stretch back to Niall actually seem to come with an ancestor of Niall -- perhaps Cinn of the Hundred Battles, or someone even more ancient.
💛
You said that the Druid could have burned anyone's property ... Um, I could be wrong but wouldn't the Druid then be responsible to pay an honor price under Brehon law for destruction of property?
Otherwise this was a great video and very insightful after thoughts.
Warlock Vex It’s quite possible he may have been held responsible for replacement! My point here is that Druids did enjoy broad legal protections and when done in the course of choosing a new king may have been given greater leeway.
That's religion for you .
I just got the purple
I'm an Irish lad. Thank you. We don't get taught any of this
We're you not listening in primary school then
@@collieag where did you go to school? We deffo didn't get into old Irish legend, about all we got of irish history was the famine and old castles. Ancient history was Egypt..
I went to school in Dublin all we learnt about was fionn, niall celts ancient Irish history never once learned much of Egypt or Rome not in primary anyway then in secondary school we learnt of Irish history from 988 to 1988 for our inter cert
And I left school in 1993 after leaving cert and for leaving cert we studied European history and world war
Sorry im still half asleep forgot to mention cucullan, Tara, ancient Irish mtyhs and legends even pagenism and d high Kings of Ireland that's what primary school history was all about i suppose if you went to a religious order school ( convent or Christian brothers) they may not teach about that sort of thing as it was there competition
Great story, I did my DNA and descend from Niall.
Doug Foston same here cousin i'm also a descendant... but I'm only half European
Same here! Revelation for me!
Same here.
So do you guys ever question these DNA tests?
Sure but I found the direct link to a family tree. I question the info from family trees more.
Lam Dearg Abu☘️
My name is Niall.
Good video but Eochaidh is pronounced "Ehah" i think. It is a name that has died out in the modern world.
In Clare we might pronounce it something like "Yo kig"
@@james6401 Interesting!
@@dunmordruidorder It's eYoKi here in North Connacht, from ech (Horse).
Can you turn your voice down a little bit
ionteach
Pronounced Doon and not Done my American friend .... yo hey is waaaaay off too ..... it would be pronounced uckig or ucky to you’re ear
Please research your pronunciation of Gaelic names...
Deus Vult If you have corrections please post them here. :)
Do remember that pronunciation varies from Irish to Gaelic, and then there are variations from region to region, and even village to village.
I am a descendant of Brion
Niall should never have been made High King he had no right to the THRONE.
Brion was supposed to be King by Birth Rite as he was First Born and up to that point? Every High King was succeeded by their First Born for 2,500 years!!
This was the Beginning of the end of Ireland unfortunately....As this split up Ireland as the Ui'neil stole the High Kingship and eventually killed Brion and his Sons split into the UI'Bruins and splitting up Ireland and created more infighting.....
If Brion became King as he should?Ireland would of remained whole and withstood the Vikings and English........
I am Portuguese, now residing in Canada, descendant of Niall, Nialls blood runs in me, templar fathers before me rid all of iberia of moorish rule, i am a King of king's, and my fathers blood birthed Spain and Portugal, birthing the entire western hemisphere under Christian rule, nothing is more admirable than my story and my descendant Father, Niall of the nine hostages, his blood runs in me, i have attributes most people don't have and couldn't attain, Blue eye Niall was a true warrior 💪🏼🙏🏼
Uh
Nature of the business world. Capitalism corrupts. Psychotic behaviours are actively encouraged.
People should accept the reality that irish History and language is a complex mixture of different peoples. There were stages of artificial changes in the irish language from what appears to be welsh and scottish gaelic and french(from latin) and norse. So with this reality in mind present day people should not try to "reinvent the wheel" so to speak. By using "irish" language in place names and names of organisations really doesn't make sense because the language is lost in it's original form: old irish gaelige. It's sad but reality and the people living on the island of Ireland should accept the fact that they are in some ways british, it was said to me in a phrase: "west brits."
Oh I’m sorry but Irish mythology narrated by Americans just doesn’t sound right . But fair play .
If he knows what he's talking about, why does it matter?
Shalom, please stop claiming black people's history, some of us do read.
Your going to have to clarify this thought. Not sure what you're referring to?
Yeah. Whatchyoo talkin bout, Willis?
Lmao this is not black history. Many of Ireland's current population are descendants these Irish kings. Learn your own history.
@@dunmordruidorder He's one of those guys who believes there were black people in Ireland before St patrick came and magically killed them off lmao
good story pity its in an american accent :( takes away from the story some
