My family's name is Hargadon , it has come down through the oral tradition to us that the name meaning is decedents of the silver hand and we are King Nuada's family.

Nuada is a left handed god with lunar connections. Lugh is a right handed god with fiery and electric aspects.

I’ve always thought of Nuada and Lugh as being two different sides of Ancient Celtic Warfare. Nuada being the one emphasized on very honorable single combat with a sword, and Lugh is his fierce enforcer who uses a lightning javelin as his primary weapon, striking from far away.

Yeah, I wish that too. As a native Irishman, it’s sad that our local myths and legends aren’t as well known and are very scarce. That being said, I think the channel TaleFoundery made a good point regarding Irish mythology. That due to its scarcity, it allows authors and fiction writers to add their own spin and interpretations of Irish myth since they don’t have much restriction to go off of. And ironically, Irish myths are told orally among tribes and clans and no story is the same so, in a methodical and abstract way, even thought the tales are scarce we can still pass them on and add our own tales no matter how different they become.

Speaking to the fairness of Nuada in battle, Týr was not only a god of war, but of justice. So it would seem that the two are cognate to some degree. Just as Dagda is referred to as the Allfather and the masked one just as Óðinn is.

@@gentlewise7 Cain? As in biblical Cain? No. The Romans referred to Týr as Mars Thingsus, which is latin for 'Mars of the Thing'. The Thing being the ancient Germanic equivalent of a court of law. Týr, Tīw, Tiwaz, Tiwar, Tiews was the ancient Germanic god of War and justice, later the old Norse Æsir god of war and justice. He was associated with the Thing because of this. So you're partially right about him Týr being interpreted by the Romans as a version of Mars, but I don't know where you got the Cain interpretation from...

Black indeed. So, he is the flame and he is the glow. Though it befits a channel dedicated to Lugh to allot him the hero’s portion, I can see you have done very well here. Excellent work. This is of great value and will be of essential use to us and to all Celts in reconstruction. I will certainly refer back to it in the future for my own work. May such great work continue.

Nuada was associated with hounds and the oldest hounds in mythology are the Aralez, the god dogs of Armenia, and these dogs could heal the wounded and raise the dead...one of the powers that Cuchulain had. He healed a woman like a hound. I share these with my group.

Lugh reminds me of Achilles, with the whole spear, rage and strategy aspect of it all.

Finding the Syncretism is the Key, from my own perspective. My ancestors knew.. in part, understood.. in part, and have deeply rooted Scot/Irish heritages, as well as Anglo-Saxon ones.. but I also have Davidic Roots and deeply devoted Christian beliefs by family and within myself. I find this information to be most helpful in that the Characteristics of Christ consciousness is borne out from everyone who has been remembered throughout the ages, with the contradistinction of my faith in Christ Jesus vs. my respect for my ancestors and our traditions being my understanding of my own need for a Direct Divine Connection and course correction that is borne out of my Relationship with my Redeemer. Thanks so much for sharing your insights and information on our Celtic ancestors. I also have enjoyed your commentary on the Indo-European and Middle Eastern religious beliefs. Blessings! 🍃💛🍃

I think his connection to sleeping chambers is linked to him being the first king and the Bull-Feast (tarbhfheis) ritual. His statue is one of very few that can be seen today and he may have being horned, like a bull. His statue is called the Tandragee man and is 3000 years old.

Odin may have just been a thief of the Far East and their ancient wisdom. The Blue Skin of Krishna and the depiction of Frost Giants being blue seems more than coincidental. Also the link between caucasians from India to Ireland seems significant. The thing that i find most interesting is the 11,000 y/o mummies from Nevada are also Caucasian and that supposedly the entity that is Jesus came to America back then to bring a certain cactus to a tiny portion of the Mexican/Texas desert.

The correlations with Tyr are fairly apparent. When I did my Tyr video I also found the Mitra and Varuna connection. I wish I would have seen this before I did that video. The wolf/hound connection is pretty fascinating. I think Simargl in the Slavic is associated with Fenrir. I expect to find more connections with the Sky Father archetype

I am glad I found your channel. There is so much interesting stuff!

Nodens' association with hounds is interesting in relation to the Celtic connection of them to healing given that Nuada and the Fisher King were both maimed and restored. Boann had a lapdog named Dabilla which was destroyed with her when she went left-handwise around Nechtan's well betraying cosmic order just as she betrayed Nechtan with the Dagda. The filidh (seers) are held to have chewed dog-meat (thought by some to be a metaphor for some other hallucinogenic substance) before entering a three-day sleep during which they were closely watched in order to gain prophetic inspiration. Do the sleeping-healing chambers of Nodens have some connection to Nuada as a god of prophecy?

Excellent video! The elder scrolls music is a nice touch.

Soooooo glad I found your channel.

If you were to very briefly summarize in 10 minutes celtic myth from creation to a theoretical end of creation your channel would be the only one on KZread to do so and would greatly increase your views because it would cover a topic a lot of people want to know about but can find next to nothing about it on the web much less something that is actually accurate

In 2017 I lost all use of my right arm in an accident. I was in the hospital for a month, during which time I had a heart attack and technically died during a total eclipse of the sun. In my experience when you die it is quite peaceful...nothing but a black ocean. No light to go towards. No fires of hell. Luckily, I was revived and got out a month later. The doctors continually recommended I have my arm amputated. I refused and a year or so later my uncle who is a physical therapist began working on my arm. The pain was absolutely unbearable. At one point he brought me into a side room and performed some sort of ritual on me where he pulled something that felt like a serpent out of my chest which caused me to go into a fit of uncontrollable laughter for 20 minutes to the point that it was painful. Eventually my arm was completely healed by my uncles working on it, but he said due to an NDA he was unable to tell me anything about how he brought my arm back, and also told me it would not work if I worried about how any of it worked when he first started. Seeing this video is literally freaking me out. On my right arm I have a tattoo of a Kingfisher. People have been telling me recently that they cant hide anything from me because I am like a hound. (I do not see anything about myself that resembles a hound in personality or looks) So very strange... Too many things are lining up! Help!

1:10 what site? Which Mortimer-Wheeler excavation?

I wonder if theres any correlation beetween Nuada and the lusitanian diety of Nabua that is associated with rivers and water.

"Welsh myth"...the Mabinogian? I never got a chance to finish it. Have you covered it? Thanks.

I'm starting to have the idea that Indo European religions started dividing certain deities, and aglutinating others into one. It is interesting to think how this trend would have evolved if Christianity wouldn't have existed.

A silver arm? Rather unique attribute. I don't believe I have heard anything similar in other mythologies.

Hecate was depicted riding a wolf into battle,wolf being light Grendel lost his arm to Beowulf ,Christianity conquers the witch,depicted on rune stones.

Melchizedek seems to be connected with the same things,especially temple building and fish possibly Dagon worship,I believe his symbol to be three triangles inside a star of Solomon,he is also depicted at the center of a circular maze,which could represent a sacred grove meeting.

interesting, but that last comment about the formorii being referred to as "men of africa" was quite amusing, in a nonsensical way, as, i cannot conceive of how, the sun, light and heat could be considered to have any chance of defeating men of africa. much more likely to defeat men of ireland. as you stated, they were much later additions to the tales, which says a lot. there is more evidence, including genetic and linguistic studies that would link the people of north africa to the ancient britons, and as we know, the northern, fairer skinned europeans, were much later invaders and conquerors and usurpers of the british isles.

Hey I dont know if you realize but its common knowledge in Ireland. In the lebor gebala erenn or the Book of invasions ..it says and i quote …''for what learned men say is, that every princely family that is in Ireland, save the Eoganacht, is of the seed of Nuadu Airgetlám (Nuada).'' All leaders of clanns or septs would claim lineage from a god or myth figure or a figure of the fomorians or the tuatha de. Why would Nuada's father be human? Well there are two ways of looking at it ...one is to think these gods already existed and that families claimed to be descended from them. The other which is in more in keeping with the druid tradition is that kings paid druids to write epic stories about their ancestors . And some ancestors ended up being more epic than others. Also the reason all kings wanted to be associated with nuada was because he was known as the good king . www.tairis.co.uk/an-tri-naomh/ancestors/ Delbhna Nuadat (obvious from the name) was such a clann they were from roscommon they eventually took the name flanagan en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delbhna_Nuadat
