This is the best video I have seen from a British perspective trying to tackle the druids. Everything else I have seen pretty much ignores Ireland as the best contemporary example of what the druids in Britain may have been like. As an Irish person with a strong interest in this period, I find much of the so called 'celtic' interpretations of historians on KZread to be speculative at best. They seem to look strongly at the Roman accounts, but ignore the elephant in the room that is Ireland right beside them which continued it's existence in the same way for a long time after as the best example of what their own country was likely to have been like and functioned. My only real issue with your video is that although toward the end you have mentioned the best evidence for the influence of the droai on Irish society - The Brehon Laws, I don't think you acknowledged just how far back these laws go and just how much input the droai would have had in them. The Brehon Laws were written down by the Celtic Chrurch in Ireland in the 7th century and were obviously edited, expelling anything that did not agree with the church, they were by their nature ancient in origin and tell us the most about the structure of Irish society in which the droai inhabited. They were recorded orally and by their nature it is clear they were developed over a long period of time through tiral and error being altered and perfected over time. The monks merely wrote them down rather than inventing a perfect law system by which the country would now steer itself by. What I am saying is that the church gets the credit for writing them down, but certainly not composing them. From these laws we can see at least from a second hand source, just how the brehons who came from the druidic class functioned within Irish society. The droai were a broad class which included poets, musicians, judges and magicians. The laws themselves tell us a huge amount about the society in which they were consulted as go betweens during disputes. We are told it was their duty to keep record of these laws. This tells so much more practical evidence of real life influence of the droai than the mythology. It is a fascinating subject. Great video though. So much better researched than all the dross on KZread about the subject. Your Irish language pronunciations are off in places which gave me a chuckle, but in others they are spot on and better than some I have seen :) . Well done!

Very comprehensive, and kept my interest. I've read Mallory's "Dreamtime". The problem of the complexity of Irish mythology compared to the paucity of Irish archeology partially originates in stories. They possess the longest, fastest, and most persistent legs from among all those traveling cultural elements. The persistence of the stories in Ireland is born of the same isolation that deprived their oral custodians of the (Gaulish) material culture the stories describe. 44:23 Harper holding harp backwards.

@@Comuniity_ wouldn't they have split from each other during their proto-indoeuropean past? Like they became differentiated from each other from that common root... is that what is typically meant by "split from"? In this case, there was a story referenced that indicates they were mutually aware of the Germans and made a deliberate splitting off rather than something being the effect of geographical distribution and time. I imagine their could be followers that migrated from a common protoindoeuropean origin who left and eventually became the celts and settled differentially from those who became the Germanic tribes.

It's interesting about the accounts of Ireland, how incomplete or inaccurate they were, yet were pronounced and I'm assuming accepted as fact in these authoritative works about the world. It makes me wonder how incomplete and/or inaccurate our modern understanding of the world and universe may be, what we're taking for granted as unequivocally true and real, as did the scholars of the ancient world?

In my culture those who memorized used a plant called brahmi or bacopa monnieri (sometimes called gotu kola but careful in europe lots of bacopa are named gotu kola) . Make a tea with a teaspoon of crushed FRESH leaves (80°c water very important) brew it for 5 to 10 minutes and sip once to twice a day as you're working on memorizing stories. The effects can be seen as early as 3 weeks but a more realistic timing is 6 months. You must be consistent over the course of multiple years but it does work!!

At 44:50 when you say the stories about the waves of people have no basis in reality, this is a deep misunderstanding of how folklore works. A lot of old memories are embedded in such stories. It's a known historical fact that Ireland and Europe in general were peopled with many waves of people and logically it's probably NOT a coincidence that Irish mythology mentions this. It doesn't mean it has to be taken at face value. When the legend says that giants inhabited the island it can simply be the memory of hunter gatherers, whom we know were taller than the Neolithic farmers that came later. The whole folklore shouldn't be discarded just because it contains supernatural elements.

@@jamesnomos8472 it's a fact that Ireland has received several waves of people. Whether folklore remembers that or not is up for interpretation, if some reject the idea it's not based on any facts but on a personal opinion only. Some people believe folklore and myth have no connection to real event, the same applies to ancient near east/biblical scholars for instance. Abraham is not, AFAWK, a historical character. Some historians consider him completely made up while others think he represents the memory of a patriarch/leader. No way to prove one or the other but personally I think naive and short sighted to think legends just came out of nowhere.

About the heroic cycles, I have no doubt that those were composed in the Iron Age, since the irish are an indo-european culture, and share many similarities in their societies and religion to their indo-european brethrens. Just as the greeks are portrayed in the Iliad, the irish would've behaved the same in open battlefield as presented in the Táin. For sure, since the tales were writen in the Middle Ages, there has to be some anachronism... that happens in the Iliad too.

Greeks and Phoenicians (Jews/Celts) settled in Ireland and Scotland as well as the Netherlands, bringing with them their Astrological Zodiac, and worship of the Solar Lunar Calendar. That's why the myths all ring the same, even the period of training for a Druid, 19 years, ie a metonic cycle, is found in the cycle of the Phoenix, found in Egyptian, Jewish, Assyrian, and Hindu traditions. Celts, Jews, Phoenicians, Egyptians, and Assyrians all share the same new year celebration on the Fall Equinox, the Festival of Trumpets. Their traditions all recount the passage of the Moon through the Zodiac with a 13 lunar month year every second year, hence Jesus and his 12 disciples, and Arthur and his 12 Knights. Seeing as Zero was not a thing until 3BC. In fact the alignments found at the Bru na Boinne, and their associated traditions reflect those found in Egypt, Babylon, and Christianity, the Christian cross being found in Europe long before it became the Cross of Baal, the Cross of Tyre, Capital of Phoenicia, whose name means Rock, and sits just offshore from Urshu Shalom, City of Peace, or City of the New Moon. Israel too is the Phoenician's word for Saturn, or El, Fruit of Isis and Ra, otherwise known a Horus, and Hercules, Pan, and Cernunnos, Og to the Celts. The same Og is referenced in Byblos, associated with Hephaestus and Aegypticus, Khasekhemwy, first Pharoah of Egypt, a Giant associated with Orion and Taurus, and the Silver Gate, just like Osiris. Isis in turn rides atop Taurus the Bull as Pleiades, at 33 degrees. Enoch too recounts visiting a Crystal Palace, illuminated by the Full Moon every 19 years, consistent with New Grange in the Bru na Boinne
