Celts

PodcastOne presents the LadyGang, the Hollywood girl posse, with LadyGang Quickie.

Here's Keltie Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jack Vanik.

Let's make this quick.

[upbeat music] Hello, hello, hello.

Welcome to the LadyGang podcast.

I am Keltishka Keltie Katie Knightly Knight, uh, one-third of the LadyGang podcast.

But I'm doing a solo episode today because, uh, Jack is in Europe and Becca has a new baby, and I really wanted to do an episode about the Emmy Awards because I knew there was gonna be so many ridiculous stories, and so here you are.

If this is your first episode of LadyGang, which I can't imagine it is, if you're not a super fan of me or pop culture, go listen to a different one.

The yellows are what they called welds, which are, uh, flavonoids.

And the blues are woads and indigo-type dyes, which are sort of indole rings and stuff, which, you know, when you think of the blue painted Celts, it's the same stuff, which is quite cool.

And those are all plant-based dyes, right? They, they have been coming from roots and plants, 'cause, you know, 1,000 years ago, that's where the, all the colors came from, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Genius.

Pfeiffer, like many of the great Celts would be.

I know that an uncle would love Willie Fernie.

And also at Hampden, you know, Hampden the Sun, the 7-1 game, despite the fact that Billy McPhail scored a hat-trick.

The medieval romance writer believed above all things in combining his materials, and his materials were more or less anything and everything that came to his hand.

A bit here from a missionary legend, a bit there from a folktale, a scrap from an apocryphal gospel, a reflection of the war between the Roman and Celtic churches, a fragment of Welsh hagiology, a notion gathered from the lays of Marie de France, a high doctrine of transubstantiation, traces of Bardic teaching, as much fighting as you please derived from the gestus and human nature, the courtly story of Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere.

These are some of the materials which the writer of Grail romances, 1170 to 1220, had in his mind as he sat at his desk.

But as I must repeat once more, while he revolved many things, there were two thoughts that were absent even from his nightmares.

But more modern scholarship derives the word from a conjectured form, gratella, a diminutive of crater, and the word seems to have implied to the 12th century mind a sort of shallow dessert dish standing on a stem or foot.

Now there is neither foot nor stem to the vessel just discovered at Glastonbury.

And yet it is odd enough that a sculptured stone at Nigg in Scotland depicts two Celtic priests bowing in adoration before something which resembles a saucer or a stem over which hovers a dove bearing a host in its beak.

In this connection, it must be remembered that the Grail was a vague object to the romance writers.

Uh, this also acts as a weird LARP for foreigners.

Like this, Delight of Dubai, uh, this chap, who I don't know if you can see the profile picture here, does not look like your average Celt as far as I know.

I know they can come quite dark, but I've never seen one that quite looks like that.

Saying, "Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish leaders sign deal for self-independence from UK." Welsh, not British.

the biggest LARP of all independence movements, the Cornish independence movement.

Could you imagine an, an, the economy of an independent Cornwall? Me neither.

We are C- we, we are Celtic nations with our own languages, heritage, cultures, and histories.

We existed long before the United Kingdom.

So this is going to go back roughly 2000 years ago.

So we're in parts of Europe where the Celtic people lived, especially areas now that we know of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and different parts of Britain.

So these people celebrated a festival called Samhain.

It's H-A-I-N, but it's pronounced saw-win.

I'm not taking it that it's not true.

I'm just learning to slow down, discern, read things more clearly before I just take it on.

But what we can say with the evidence that we've gathered about Samhain without filling in all the gaps is that it was an ancient Celtic festival.

Celtic? Celtic? Celtic? I think it's like Celtic people? Celtic? I don't know.

In the Celtic annals these unwelcome visitors had gained the name of Fingal, the white strangers, from the fairness of their complexion, and Dougal, the black strangers, probably from the iron coats of mail worn by their chiefs.

From the intermixture of the Celts and the Northmen sprang a race called the Gall Gael, who joined the Northmen in their raids, or plundered on their own account.

In the year 795 we find them sacking the monastery of Iona, once the center of religious vitality in the north.

End of section 2.

Ingkul Arnarson came first in 874 and settled in Reykjavik and others soon followed him.

Thus the colonization of Iceland seems to differ somewhat from the other settlements of the Northmen.

The few inhabitants found there probably Celts did not offer much opportunity for spoil and the least warlike of the Northmen were attracted thither.

To Iceland they transferred their system of clan government which they had enjoyed in Norway before the rise of the domestic feuds and established it with some modifications.

We can think of Europe today.

When we say white, we refer to Europeans, the Aryans, the Celts, the Britonic peoples.

Those are our people.

We believe that we are actually the descendants of Jacob because during the captivity of the ten tribes of Israel, only two tribes remained in Israel or came back to Israel.

That when they came to Ireland, when they came to Scotland, there were already lots of Christians there.

There were people, and they had the actual Israelite Hebrew calendar that they were following.

The Celts were following the Hebrew lunar calendar when they...

when these missionaries arrived like St. Patrick and like St. Columba.
