I believe in a more unified spiritual world. One not built on hate or division, but of understanding and respect. That is why my videos and topics have always been free of modern and divisive content. I am committed to providing information free of bias, drama, and ego. I believe religion, spirituality, and global healing is for everyone regardless of race, sexuality, gender, or political ideology.

As someone from Hispanic/ Native American heritage, I find it interesting that I've always felt drawn to the Nordic/ Celtic ideology for a long time starting as a youth. Even though I'm not familiar with my heritage as far as rituals and practices the concept of mutual respect between rituals and practices among tribes seems to be a shared value. Thank you for this video!

I am not a pagan worshipper but I love mythology and folklore. I appreciate the depth of your video, you obviously care about this topic in a deeper way than most YouTubers on this subject.

I've seen a video about building a hut like that on YouTube ! It was a series about willow weaving. Will plan to try finding it again. My Danish father was of the opinion that we should have stuck with Paganism. People would be less likely to destroy the environment if they believed that every pond, stream, forest, tree, animal had a soul, or a god/goddess living in them. They would be more cautious and careful with their treatment of what we need for our very existence.

I'm Greek so Hellenic Pagan here!
What I like about Paganism whether its Nordic? Celtic? Germanic? Egyptian? Roman? etc.
We all respect each others believes.
Compared to other religions that would get aggressive and try to convince you that they are right and you are wrong

Cool video. You should do one on Baltic Paganism too, it has a huge emphasis on nature, like Celtic, but also a warrior culture, like Nordic..

I live in Chillicothe, Ohio and, like many spots in Ohio, Chillicothe has burial mounds built by Natives who are known now as The Mound Builders and they were constructed around two thousand years ago and the mounds here are nearly identical to many cairns in Ireland and Scotland. It's uncanny how similar they are.

I think the reason so many follow the Wheel of the Year, is for simplicity. There are relatively few of us Pagans in the world so its easier for us to gather together and worship our different gods together on similar predesigned days, even if they're not 100% accurate to ancient practices. Besides, I believe the Gods are happy that we have begun to band together and offer them reverence even if our Gods aren't the same to one another.

I have ancestry from Celtic and Scandinavian heritage.. I’m from northeast uk and have strong links to southern Scotland. Interesting to know about these deities and beliefs. Thanks for your in-depth video 🍃

Im a Salvadoran/Guatemalan American, the whole ancient history of Europe fascinates me

[brockmiller]

Having observed both the Aesir and the Tuatha De Dannan religiously years ago, my advice would be to experience them with your heart, over time. Know the places, the people, the food, the music, art... The stories... Because these in many cases are the memories of ancestors. Even if you regard these gods as simply metaphor and story, know that is a way of communicating ideas.

As a Norse Pagan Scotsman I approve this message lol ! Great video Jacob. I love this one and the last one on the Pics. So keep up the good work sir.

My Nan taught me from a young age what was taught to her and so on down the line of my Irish pagan family. We were born in County Cork. Not all have done what you say with Irish Paganism, some were taught the old ways and still are. I teach my child as well.

I've been 65 times around the sun. Entering my sage years is a journey. Been a life long Pagan embracing the practices of my bloodline, Celtic and Norse. As a solitaire, this suits and fulfills me. Enjoy you're insight Jacob. Subscribed my lad.!!

[Sanguivore]

It’s very refreshing to see an actual Pagan covering these topics!

[yohanrives]

I'm a Celtic pagan from France. Beautiful video, thank you.

[Deus]

honestly not only is this fascinating, well-researched but also rly respectful. as someone who is in fact a celtic and norse pagan themselves, how you approached this and discussed the mythology and how people view the gods was so respectful and refreshing. this was a really wondeful video. many thanks :]

[chloej.]

I can’t give a financial thank you as I would love to but instead I just wanted to say, once again, thank you so incredibly much for all the hard work and time you put into your videos! I am half Irish half German and feel an extremely strong pull towards Celtic paganism, I have been slowly researching the many many gods and goddesses, listening to folklore from all over the Celtic lands and really trying to connect with my ancestors 🖤 you may not know it or see this message but thank you so much for being a part of this beautiful rugged journey! Looking forward to more videos and seeing where your journey takes you! Stay safe!

I would have liked you to talk more about the Celtic Sidhe and the Slavic Elves because they are an extremely similar point in both cultures

I'm Scottish Norweigan German and Italian. Don't know where I fit but I've had experiences. I used to camp and live in Rockies for years. I had a bear friend for years. One strange night while laying in my tent the earth started to tremble. I saw a giant white wolf who came right at me felt breath in my face. Then it vanished in not a crazy person. Just put that out there 10 years later that experience still haunts me. I've had 2 more similar experiences.
