The Irish for wolf is" Mac an tíre " which translates to Son of the Land. It was under Cromwells orders during the invasion in Ireland that all wolves be hunted down and killed. The reason for this was the wolf was part of Gaelic culture. And at that time thats what our neighbor's were all about trying to bring an end of the great Gaels. And also to make way for the planters..

That is only one of many names. Fáel and cú are likely the most archaic whereas mac an tíre is poetic. Fáel comes directly from PIE *waylos meaning "the howler" a name used for a wolf without naming it, which was taboo, an idea which mac an tíre carries on with a name that doesn't name it, or cú, naming it a hound.

You've hit on something important here. I think the detail about transporting the self into a wolf, rather than an actual shape change, might be a crucial point.

About the wolf cult stuff: I'm Hungarian, and I really like myths and folklore, but unfortunatly from my country, not a lot of things left to us. However, the word farkas, which is the word for wolf in Hungarian, means "the one who has a tail". Similarly, the word szarvas, which is the word for deer/elk means "the one who has an antler". So, I assume these two animals were so sacred that even thier names were forbidden. Two more things: Wolfwolkers rulez This video rulez

That was the best take on werewolves I have heard. When you experience trained attack dogs of today it’s instantly obvious how in a time of tribes and conflict a hound by your side that would give its life without question, not be corrupted or stab you in the back could easily be held in high regard. Not only could they fight in battle but provide food, and like us had great stamina and strength. Unlike many other species wolves/dogs ability to bond as a family unit must have linked our destiny aswell. The way you speak of people projecting their mind into that of wolf rather than a literal metamorphosis makes perfect sense and maybe one of the abilities we lost or that is just dormant in some of us.

Most travelling communities keep closer to the “old ways” and if you look at the mythology that surrounds the celts and hounds on the british isles its one of the most closely linked companionships between man and animal. So you may find the echoes of celtic ancestors in a love for hounds even today possibly. I have tried to find information on the celtic warhound with little success. But i also don’t doubt similair situations being found across the world in many travelling communities threw time. Dogs would provide food and protection, only common sense for any travellers in a far less forgiving world.

Christians hated wolves back then. Ireland was just late to the wolf extermination party because Christianity and Catholicsm reached it much later than most of Europe. You will notice that areas void of Abrahamic religion, are far more wolf friendly. In fact wildlife in general seems to fare better in areas void of Dominion dogma.

Great video! I've always felt a special connection with Wolves. I've heard them in the woods in Wisconsin, but have yet to be blessed to encounter one.

if im not mistaken, were there tales of Druids shapeshifting into Werewolves, before St. Patrick banished all of them when Catholicism was introduced to Ireland?

We must collapse the systems worldwide in order to do so. Do what is worst for government while still being legal to avoid trouble (expose their dirty habits that they try to censor or hide, vote for no one/take no political side, create a society that is staunchly anti government through educating people on all it's failures and encouraging free thought), do what is worst for organized religion (expose its worst aspects, boycott it, and weed it out of positions of power), do what is worst for systems like economy (self sufficiency and not relying on them for sustinence is one good way, as is finding innovative ways to produce goods that don't include items manufactured by them), do what is worst for the existence of society/civilization (buy up large spaces of land and refuse to sell or allow development, go against societal norms/morales, discourage human reproduction, and give absolutely no aid/participation to human based clubs, groups, charities etc), extinguish any possible future uprisings of power until the modern day is long forgotten (any humans who try to claim leadership over any group of people's should be taken out, as well as anyone trying to make or pass unnecessary laws). If enough people do this for long enough, and find ways to resist their efforts to force us back into line, the ropes of control will fall and we will be free again, and keep our freedom. If you don't want all systems gone completely, you can also do what I call "training" LOL. When they work in your favor and allow you more freedom, you give them less of a hard time and behave better towards them back. When they create unjust restrictions or preach oppressive idealogies, you give them a very hard time by completely (or at least significantly) withdrawing your support and money. People are like dogs. If they behave well to you, praise them and they'll learn. If they behave badly to you, punish them and they'll learn. Be an alpha and they will stop trying to control you.

Very interesting to learn about different cultures and their myths about werewolves/dog headed men. It is even a recurring theme amongst cultures who never interacted with each other.

While some encounters may be fiction, many seem to have enough similarities to suggest that a creature similar to Bigfoot may exist.

An Fáelad ( The wolfshape) are a tribe of Warriors who wear wolf skins. The fur goes down the body and the wolf head was on the head. And yes they did imitate wolves so much they acted animalistic in nature. They as your man said they were warriors for hire. They were violent and often went into a beserker rage and killed everything. People thought they transformed into a wolfman. There are still sightings of these people today especially down the south in Munster. They could be down there roaming the south. Cú Chulainn was a beserker warrior and he went through a Ríastrádh which was a transformation that increased his muscle mass spiked his hair, bulged his eyes, and drove him completely mad.

Stay in a mind state long enough, it starts to affect the soul. Keep the soul at this state long enough, it starts to affect the body. It's all about energy. In the case of shapeshifting, an insane amount of it. This is partly how people can literally die of grief, but it also provides one of the keys to changing physical form. This is how even people who can't fully shift, can change things like eye color, their voice, body hair, and even bone/facial structure. It just takes an insane amount of soul or "chi" energy to do it, which most people simply cannot reach. A good place to start however, is energy manipulation and energy feeding. The other keys I am still trying to learn.

I still see positivity within Judao-Christian traditions for the Wolves, in that "the wolf will lie down with the lamb", in the Messianic Kingdom Beyond the Revelation of the Great Mystery of God.. and St. Christopher was a dog man who may harken back to old Canaanite tribal affiliation.

I have always felt that humans saw a bit of themselves in wolves, like hunting and living together in groups, holding territory having a hierarchy within the group (alphas and such) that made us identify with them. Or who knows, maybe our ancient ancestors actually emulated or imitated the wolf pack? Interesting stuff. 👍

Thinking of the Fianna Fae which would translate as Warriors of the other realm able to perform feats not available to ordinary warriors. The Norse, Vikings in particular were very prevalent in Ireland maybe lending of their Ulfhednar cult of wolf spirit warriors to the Irish culture. I also think the Norse took the wolf spirit belief onwards to America long before the 10thc & either taught it to the Native tribes or amalgamated with already wolf spirit beliefs.

Australia has the dingo, a long distant relative of the Asiatic wolf. Dingos go by many aboriginal names. They are tied very closley to aboriginal people, the dreaming, famiky story and the land. A similar clip on dingo's would-be cool.

Yes, I would use it more but I worry about copyright issues these days.

I am just copying this from wiki but could you maybe make a video on some of the comparative mythology between other groups descended from Ancient North Eurasian populations that are not Indo-European. Since the term 'Ancient North Eurasian' refers to a genetic bridge of connected mating networks, scholars of comparative mythology have argued that they probably shared myths and beliefs that could be reconstructed via the comparison of stories attested within cultures that were not in contact for millennia and stretched from the Pontic-Caspian steppe to the American continent.[19] For instance, the mytheme of the dog guarding the Otherworld possibly stems from an older Ancient North Eurasian belief, as suggested by similar motifs found in Indo-European, Native American and Siberian mythology. In Siouan, Algonquian, Iroquoian, and in Central and South American beliefs, a fierce guard dog was located in the Milky Way, perceived as the path of souls in the afterlife, and getting past it was a test. The Siberian Chukchi and Tungus believed in a guardian-of-the-afterlife dog and a spirit dog that would absorb the dead man's soul and act as a guide in the afterlife. In Indo-European myths, the figure of the dog is embodied by Cerberus, Sarvarā, and Garmr.[19] Anthony and Brown note that it might be one of the oldest mythemes recoverable through comparative mythology.[19] A second canid-related series of beliefs, myths and rituals connected dogs with healing rather than death. For instance, Ancient Near Eastern and Turkic-Kipchaq myths are prone to associate dogs with healing and generally categorised dogs as impure.[20] A similar myth-pattern is assumed for the Eneolithic site of Botai in Kazakhstan, dated to 3500 BC, which might represent the dog as absorber of illness and guardian of the household against disease and evil.[20] In Mesopotamia, the Nintinugga Gula, associated with healing, was symbolized by a dog. Similar absorbent-puppy healing and sacrifice rituals were practiced in Greece and Italy, among the Hittites, again possibly influenced by Near Eastern traditions.[20] Philologist Aleksandar Loma argues that parts of Native American and Indo-European concepts connecting wolves with ritual knowledge and magic may represent a common Ancient North Eurasian heritage. The word mai-coh means both 'wolf' and 'witch' among Navajos, and shunk manita tanka a 'doglike powerful spirit' among Sioux. The Proto-Indo-European root *ṷeid ("knowledge, clairvoyance") designated the wolf in both Hittite (ṷetna) and Old Norse (witnir), and a "werewolf" in Slavic languages (Serbian vjedo-gonja, Slovenian vedanec, Ukrainian viščun).[21] Historian Michael P. Speidel has compared the fighting madness and dancing frenzy of the Aztec Quachics wolf-warriors with the Germanic mad wolf-warriors (Berserks), and has argued that this could be due to shared historical origins-or perhaps a feature common to warrior societies: the more willing a warrior is to attack recklessly, the more useful he may be in battle.[22] According to comparative mythologist Bernard Sergent, the Lithuanian myth of Eglė the Queen of Serpents shares similar motifs with stories found among Native American peoples (Wayampi, Yahgan and Coos), which may be explained by an inherited Ancient North Eurasian motif featuring a woman marrying an aquatic animal, violating human laws on exogamy and connecting the terrestrial and aquatic worlds. Sergent reminds however that the precise time and place of origin of the myth cannot be settled with certainty.[23]

Really?! I hadn't heard that. The Wolves of Wexford ... sounds like the title of a film about the Pikemen of 1798...or your All Ireland winning hurling team in '96!! Mo cheoil thu.

Wait, that title screen music is from Chrono Cross.

8:08 what game is this? Edit: vindictus

In the old days we had philosophical traditions that had thousands of years of research put into analysing and categorizing the various divisions of mind, spirit and body, along with rituals to mediate the influence of subtle psychic forces. Old religions can't be understood by modern minds because most are indoctrinated to believe in an external god and an individual personal saviour. In ancient times there was no division between the concept of life in general and divinity. Forms differed by degree, quality or aspect. This type of thinking and belief in an inner divinity which could be cultivated over long periods of time also gave rise to the belief in transmutation. In wolf cults, for example, by mimicry they were able to hold the form of a wolf mentally, their body was able to suitably express this will and they were able to shift spiritual identification from a human to a wolf. It's no different to a man becoming a Buddha, a prophet, a yogi, a mystic, an account, an architect or whatever other societal temporal role we choose to fill. There's actually a lot about ancient traditions that could be really useful as the basic concepts and approaches are already familiar to us with science, which in turn is just magic that works consistently. This type of dynamic belief is very much like a programming language that could be used to cultivate any number of useful and beneficial states of awareness we want. Jerry Cantrell said it best "Slowly all the roles we act out become our identities, and in the end we are what we pretend to be".
