The Ancient Celts were almost obsessive with Triads
Egyptians: Hold my Beer
Lugh's spear being the spear that decides victory sounds very similar to Odin as well as the God who chooses the winners and losers of battles
Both were represented by Mercury in Romanised areas. Just like Donar/Thor and Taranis were represented by Jupiter.
Very much enjoying your channel, all the very best, health and happiness, amazing looking back on our history and where we are today, truly amazing, we have all come along way.
Excellent presentation! This is exactly the content I’ve been looking for the past few months. Thanks much! Look forward to your future content
Yet another example of the best content having the least comments. This is great and I am glad I found you!
Indrus in Hinduism is synonymous with an indo Iranian god who name literally means to overcome an obstacle who is often venerated as a God of victory.
The Celtic fixation on threes probably explains why the Triskele was such a popular symbol. What does the Triskele mean though?
It's a solar symbol and is portrayed as running up and down a mountain. This is a common mytheme associated with the sun.
@@sarad6627 it's the motion of the galaxy basically as we rotate within the galaxy were also moving forward as well as up and down like a wave pattern
Please do a video on Ogma vs Odin & Tyr vs Lugh. I'd love your take.
There could be a connection between Tyr and Nodens. Tyr is associated with Mars, in Lydney a Roman Temple was found with a dedication to Mars Nodens. Lydney is named after the Lludd variant of Nudd/Nodens. Lludd is the same as Nuada, even having a silver hand.
Catubrannos Nuada is probably got more to do with Njord
Many have speculated that Odin is actually largely inspired by Lug. The Lugi Celtic tribe which was later became Germanic might well be later identified as the Vandals. Many Celts in the region became German but carried on their former worship which developed the importance of Odin, who then spread into Nordic areas later through conquest by southern tribes. However, although some core aspects seem similar there are also a lotnof difference, not just in depictions but in character. Ultimately we don't know enough about Nordic or Germanic religion to make it entirely useful to compare in some ways. We are taking one group we know barely anything about and I have devoted years now to try and understand, and comparing it to something else that has a lacking of detail. In some ways Odin is like Lug, in other ways he is more akin to the Dagda. I am also not even convinced that Lug was necessarily or always identified as Mercury. All the evidence I have been able to gather points to an identification with Mars or Apollo. For instance, in Lugdunum Carlisle there seems to be no dedications to Mercury. There is one carving of him but almost all dedications are to Mars. Mars Cocidius is very popular in the region as was Mabon, and Cocidius means (red one)
It is more useful to think they are partaking in the same divine structures of Indo-european thought rather than they are the same god. Regardless of the deities in question or their origin it seems to gear towards a cosmic division where these attributes are ascribed to a leading deity
In Hinduism as well we have Trinity : Brahman - creater of universe
Vishnu - Preserver
Shiva - Destroyer.
Brahma is mainly not worshipped as he was first living being of the universe who was created by Vishnu , like it is shown from Vishnus Navel a lotus comes out,once the lotus opens Brahma is born.Brahma then on the order of Vishnu creates universe.
Vishnu creates millions of Brahmas ,with each breath there are more Brahmas coming and they continue to create Universes and once time comes Shiva who is considered to Vishnu himself in different form destroys the universe.
It is a cyclical event.
The reason for creation are provided in detail,but would not put it in this comment.
Just wanted to say Hinduism has a holy Trinity too
Thanks for the repost
The Celtic color trinity of red, white and black which occurs repeatedly in the myths seems to be related to this trinity.
Is there a way to contact you? I am asking, because there is something important I wanted to ask you. You may remember me, I was a fan of your video "Seeing an Angel" and have listened to your videos ever since. I have also asked you about the song which you used in the video. My question is very important, because it deals with my own culture.
If you go to the website I have an email listed there
@@FortressofLugh Thank you very much!
I like your videos your very smart
Hey. It’s not a blank screen this time. Nice.
Internet Nobleman I guess I wasn’t the only one who saw that
Indeed I did notice. ‘Twas a minor inconvenience.
Good man...
Delighted to stumble across this.
Im from Louth (Lú) in Ireland. Do you know mythical ireland and the highman!?
Any Egyptian connection videos, I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that ireland and its megaliths are a proto Egyptian culture!?
It's all the ancient traditional thought of the alchemical processes taking place on the level of the planet"s energy and the changing season of them battling each other and effecting humans.. North pole magnetism is black death, south is usually white, east is the sun usually orange or gold and purification/destruction by fire sometimes with 3 aspects rising, high, setting. And it's counterpart for west usually red associated with death .. Then the moon is cold wet and white purifier or decay/ putrification depending on it;'s opposite, also with 3 aspects. And the ionosphere energy red above ground, green fertility for a small distance under usually associated with a life tree, then to a black death under it. and a lightning and or wind god sometimes....As the seasons and ages change these are all changing and clashing with each other. Especially on the solstices and equinoxes.
So awesome !✨ 🗡️✨
this god triad sounds like the vedic trimurti, which has the creator (brahma), the destroyer (shiva), and the sun (vishnu, who can also be righteously violent).
this trinity seems to correspond to the hindu gunas. tamas, rajas, sattva; earth, fire, "light"; ignorance, passion, goodness
Why the repost?
And what of the possibility that when that particular Roman writer was talking about the Gaulish triad of gods, Toutatis, etc, he may simply have been using a 3-tier list of gods who were sacrificed to in a certain way?
because the first video broke somehow
Fortress of Lugh
Thank you for the effort.
It is a good overview.
I am wondering how exactly Nuada is seen to be like Mars - perhaps it is this association indeed which has lead modern and ancient scholars to presume that if HE is the god of war then Lugus must be more like Mercury and less violent - but I am sure you will touch on it in your Nuada video.
@@thegreenmage6956 basically since nearly every god in the Celtic concept had a war aspect, but he seem to govern law and rules regarding the waging of combat
@@FortressofLugh Alright, this has been bothering me for some time and I think we need to be clear about it.
Lucian’s Pharsalia;
Taranos - Lug?
Teutatis - Nuada?
Esus - Dagda?
I know it’s hard to be sure or to generalise, but I think getting this down would solidify things and simplify them for people coming in.
You are always pertinent to the specifics of Celtic Religion, which is admirable, but I am always concerned with the entry-level, surface accessibility of this culture for people just discovering it for the first time - and about making it as easy for them as getting into Norse culture is, because those guys, currently, have us beaten.
Though they do have Marvel marketing on their side for figures like Thor, thus any child can engage with some modicum of Germanic divinity, and yet for the Celtic this seems ever out of reach…
❤
Is each of these a single god grouped with others?
Great commentary. Unfortunately the transcript is full of typos. Are these "words
to type" done by a computer?
Ogma Lugh Dagda
According to some. According to others, and every source that records the treasures, it is Nuada, Lug, Dagda.
semi?
prior to latin
esrus?
esus
