I'm really late with this video because it was such a pain to finish it and I also got sick during the process but I wanted to release it anyway. I'll focus on The Witcher again for now.
Hey! Nice to see you again, thanks for the material! I wish you a nice second half of the week! 🙂
@@fafiklata Thanks 🙂 Likewise 😉
Dziady... one of my favorite sad holidays, where the dead are treated with absolute respect. We don't have fun like Americans, mocking death and the dead. My husband and I, from the evening when the sun goes down, leave gifts in the kitchen for lost souls: charlock (to cleanse from the worst sins), honey, cake (which we eat the next day) and of course a glass of alcohol. We don't give them a big feast, but we light a candle for them and wish them a safe journey in the afterlife.
The Day of the Dead is a day of reflection, visiting graves, feeling sad after the loss of a family member, a very depressing time... but very necessary to appreciate life while you still have it.
Nasi przodkowie starożytni Słowianie byli radzi, że ich zmarli są w raju, a tym co jeszcze się do nie nie dostali pomagali bo byli guślarze i żercy co odsyłali dusze w zaświaty
I find it interesting that even though most of these customs are not practised anymore, saying "carried feet first" is still a commonly used and understood euphemism for dying.
"Pour one out." is also still done to this day.
Dušičky is my most favourite tradition of all. Also i find the concept of this channel very interesting. Thank you for the believe that our culture is interesting enough to show it to the world. We often forgot about it.
Very interesting. I'm fascinated by these customs and traditions. Thank you for your hard work in making this video.
Awesome thank you for the great video very informative and important.
Thank you. I'm glad you like it 🙂
Thank you for making these videos! I have Czech ancestry. Learning about Czech culture and folk traditions from your videos is of great value to me. Please know that your CZcams videos are so very appreciated.
Thank you so much ❤️
Great video - hope you're on the mend!
Yeah, almost recovered. Thanks 🙂
Great video. However, I think that the "Czech and Slavic" title can be a bit misleading, since many people may think that it suggest that Czechs are not Slavs, that they are Germanic nation or something. If the tradition is limited to Czechia, it is Czech. If it is from Czechia and Slovakia, it is Czechoslovak. If Czechs, Slovaks and Poles celebrate it, then it will be Western Slavic. And if other Slavic regions and nations are involved, then it is just Slavic.
Thanks. The problem with folklore is that you usually can't neatly separate things in different categories because they often overlap even though they have their own distinctive features at the same time. I think that it's clear enough from the video and everybody should hopefully understand what I mean by the title if they'll watch the video.
Hmm, try explaining the folk traditions to the Netflix crowd, lol. Even CD Project Red is going woke, sing hallelujah, sing ESG scores. :)
USA is a country when nobody has anything everything is stolen even Halloween was stolen and origins of the festivity were different. Irish had all these costumes to confuse demons. They had some respect for them they never mocked them for they didn't want to anger them or God (afterall vanity is a sin). I also I have a feeling they weren't terririzing people over sweets
lol, the profile picture says it ALL! Chujamuja hallelujah...
Big Corpo Geralt is our savior, prasie! (👀omg i think i've gone woke too!)

Duszyczki? omw Czech language :3 Well, dziad is not exactly "forefather" but more like "old prick" in modern Polish ;)
thanks Folk.
Why do you call it Czach and Slavic traditions? Aren't Czech slavic too?
Yes, but some of these customs were done specifically in our country while others throughout all of the Slavic countries.
