I met Neil Gaiman the day Michael Jackson died. I know that’s random but it was at his soon to be wife’s concert. He was by himself propped up on a wall checking his phone. No one else went up to him. I think he was intimidating. I began to talk to him about writing. Saying that i was starting university for writing soon. He was really nice, i mean he wasn’t very talkative but he gave me 5 minutes of his time and gave me some good advice. I asked what makes a good writer and he said it takes being a good reader to write. I asked him quickly if sandman was ever getting a movie and he said that’s what he was doing in LA. That was 2009 and I’m still waiting. At least American Gods got made!

Wherever Jessica Hayden (whose name I still hear her clapping out in her own beat in my mind)is, I thank her for expanding my small world with music.

About Bilques, in the book there is a reference to her alter/bedside table, where there is a statue thats description is similar to the Venus of Willendorf and other "venus sculptures" made by the people of ice age Europe. I always imagined her as that ancient nameless goddess. She's my favorite.

She probably is a remnant of a pre-Judaic religion and many think that the Queen of Sheba actually is an old mother goddess / fertility goddess. Hence the connection to prostitution as temple prostitution was not uncommon among the fertility cults in the Levant. Ishtar would be an example here.

sarah fin Well, I was confused also because in the tv series they kept showing the sculpture of the goddess Inanna who represents fertility, sex, beauty, desire, war, combat and political power whereas in the book I don't believe there was any mention of her(do correct me if I'm wrong, it's been several years since I've read the book). I mean, it still makes sense but you know, it did take a different turn. But I guess it doesn't really matter since she can be any one of the goddesses.

For anyone who's curious, the painting of the Queen of Sheba visiting King Solomon that they show around 11:45 is hanging in the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. It's a huge painting and absolutely my favourite ever.

Bilquist in the show arrived after the Iran Revolution and the overthrow of the Shaw in the late 70's. Remember the Disco scene? Then the next thing you see is she's on a jet with a Hollywood brochure in her hand.

Wrong. Calcutta comes from Kalikatta which means 'land of Kali'. Kalighat is an area in South Calcutta where Maa Kali's temple is located. Bhog (holy offering) is cooked there which often consists of some rice dish and mutton curry. Which later is distributed among visitors and poor people who often lurk outside the temple for some food. Yes, non-veg, because in Bengali culture she's considered to be married. Also the fact that she's the goddess of both death & blood (life), making her rule over both dominions in Bengali Hinduism.

Another interesting thing about the Queen of Sheba/Bilquis is that some of the Yoruba people of Nigeria believe that she was actually a Yoruba noble woman, ‘Bilikisu Sungbo’. They believe that she constructed Sungbo Erodo, a series of fortifications in Ijebu Ode. Also it’s rumoured her resting place is somewhere near the remains of these fortifications.

Very through. Minor correction: in the novel, Ibis tells Shadow that they came to America a *very* long time ago, with traders from Egypt. (They weren't trading much, there wasn't much to trade.) It wasn't until after the civil war that people began to think of them as "black folk". My sense is that Gaiman intended for the Egyptian crew to have been among the first foreign gods in America, and thus the ones who watched all the others arrive, allowing Ibis to write the Coming to America stories.

Hello Everyone. I hope you enjoyed the first episode of American Gods. I definitely did. I really like the direction they're going with it, and I'm excited to see where they go next. I have to admit I was surprised by some of the changes from the source material. Some changes I didn't fully understand, for instance the opening scene with the Norse explorers is different in the novel, and I prefer the novel version much better, but aside from that I can understand why they made most of changes they did. At least this will keep the people who have read the novel on their toes. The direction and cinematography were stellar, but to me the most impressive aspect of the episode was the acting. Ian McShane and Ricky Whittle put in especially great performances, and the rest of the cast was also very impressive. I wanted to do a video review of this episode, but I got to it too late, and at this point it's been covered by many channels on youtube. I will make a follow up video to this video at some point , and reveal more of the mythology behind the gods in the novel and series. So stay subbed for that. BTW, what did you think of the episode?

You're right. I just went over it again. I was going by this line: "Well,” said Mr. Ibis, smiling just a little smugly, “we go back a very long way. Of course, it wasn’t until after the War Between the States that we found our niche here. That was when we became the funeral parlor for the colored folks hereabouts" But in the line you're referring to Mr. Ibis does describe how the ancient Egyptians journeyed to America around 1530 BC to trade and remarks: "The whole thing was rather a disappointment. Not worth the effort. They stayed here long enough to believe in us, to sacrifice to us, and for a handful of the traders to die of fever and be buried here, leaving us behind them." So yeah, my line was inaccurate. I wanted to add an annotation to correct it but youtube recently stopped allowing those.

Slavic mythology has two key differences from the well-known Greek and Roman mythologies. First, many of the spirits are still part of common images and folktales among Slavic people. Secondly, the old Slavic pantheon of gods is not well documented, so scholars have attempted to recreate the information based on secondary documents. Still, the pantheon is fascinating and worth knowing. Chernobog (Czarnobóg in Polish) was one of the more theoretical gods of the Slavic pantheon. It is nearly impossible to find source material for him, and most secondary material comes from Christian sources.The first known record of Chernobog came from the writings of Father Helmold, a German priest, in the 12th century. According to Helmold, the Slavic people engaged in rituals surrounding Chernobog, including passing bowls around a circle and whispering prayers to protect themselves from him. From Helmold’s writings, scholars have learned that Chernobog was the personification of evil . He wore a dark cloak and appeared to be a devil. Evidence of Chernobog is also seen in common South Slavic countries phrases. The phrase "do zla boga "literally means “go to the evil god” and is a curse. Other instances of the term “evil god” are used as an intensifier for adjectives. This structure in Slavic languages supports the idea that early Slav phrases used Chernobog as a conceptual influence.

Great job!! The "Horrible Histories" clip was a nice touch.

I read a lot of comments of people bitching about nonsense (skin color of the depicted gods) and then I stumbled over the comment of one sane guy named "rick rick". I feel like his comment is not getting enough attention, therefore I will post it again: "The American gods book states CLEARLY that the gods vary by who worships them. This very video and the book CLEARLY states that African Americans are the ones that are worshiping Thoth and Anubis in America. They look like them then. For instance the American Odin looks nothing like the actual Norse Odin and there are multiple versions of him in Ireland/Eastern Europe/Scandinavia. The queen of sheba is widely thought of as either Southern Arabian or Ethiopian. Multiple European sources make her Ethiopian and dark skinned. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Sheba Granted the actress who is playing her is Nigerian and doesn't look like a Ethiopian but considering the gods vary on who worships them and African Americans are probably the ones who made this version of her so she looks west african. There is probably a Ethiopian one and A Southern Arabian one in the books universe." Now y'all shut the fuck up with your discussions about gods who were worshipped by people who lived like 2000 or 3000 years ago. You can't possibly know for certain how those people looked like, thus the discussion over this is obsolete.

Great video man, tks a lot!

Fascinating and full of details, loved the presentation.

To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed that I haven't seen Kali in any of the trailers (or the cast list). Coming from the Indian subcontinent, it was interesting to see how Kali interacted with the other gods in the novel. I hope she makes an appearance at some point...

love the show and thanks for the background info

I always thought that Mad Sweeney, while he calls himself a leprechaun, was the god *Lugh Lamhfada* and the etymology of names changing over time, which I think is part of the origins of the leprechaun. This further gets support that the ancient Irish gods/goddesses retreat to the mounds becoming *The People of the Mounds* which is interesting that that phrase is loosely used in *A Prayer for Mad Sweeney.* Not to mention Lugh Lamhfada was a godlike king and his later name loosely translates to *long hand,* but I am more home to the name *Lonnbéimnech* (or "Fierce Striker") which mostly relates to Mad Sweeney as his fighting on the show is rather fierce.

@shanegooding4839

The original Sweeney was a pagan king cursed to wander with madness by St. Ronan. But I agree about Lugh being the origin of the leprechaun because they are depicted as shoemakers and Lugh's Welsh counterpart Lleu is also a shoemaker, while the ancient Celtic shoemakers of Spain also followed Lugh as their god. In Gallo-Roman France Lugh was identified with Mercury (the god) and had bags of money like the leprechaun's treasure which was often in a pouch rather than a crock. I think maybe Gaiman was saying that the original Sweeney being one of Ireland's last pagan kings personifies Lugh as that god was intimately connected with kingship rites in ancient times.

In the books he wasn’t Lugh and the fact he ended up being Lugh in the show is rather irritating to me because they are 2 completely different people in mythology and although I love Mad Sweeney’s character what he does and how he acts is not really in line with Lugh of the longhand IMO. Also Lugh was not Godlike he was a god father of the Demi god Cú Chulainn one of the if not the most famous people in Irish mythology

hello, my friend, I really enjoyed your video, it is indeed deep reading you did. but I would love to tell which resource said that Arabic culture consider SHEBA as "jinn" because from my Arabic humble background Arab do no consider her as jinn

@StoryDive

5 жыл бұрын

Yes, I don't think it applies across all Arabic culture, but maybe in some obscure local myths. This came from a statement on wikipedia with two sources. Wikipedia "A Jewish and Arab myth maintains that the Queen was actually a jinn, half human and half demon." Sources: Gershom Scholem (2007), "DEMONS, DEMONOLOGY", Encyclopaedia Judaica, 5 (2nd ed.), Gale, pp. 572-578 Susannah Heschel (2007), "LILITH", Encyclopaedia Judaica, 13 (2nd ed.), Gale, pp. 17-20 Although looking into it, it seems to be more on the Jewish side and you are right that it is not the standard view of Muslims. I should have made that more clear.
